Energy Control Board, provided an overview of the review process as set
out in the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act.
Carl Andognini, Executive Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer,
Ontario Power Generation Inc., stated that OPG continues to be open and
accessible to the public even after the change from Ontario Hydro to OPG
and safety continues to be the number one priority. He presented the
second quarter report on the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station and
noted that performance indicators have improved over the past two years.
He is committed to public meetings to receive input on the restart of
Pickering "A" and will adopt a reasonable scope as part of the
environmental assessment. He stated that he will consider a reasonable
proposal from the Town to retain a consultant at OPG's cost to monitor
the environmental assessment process.

Irene Koch, representing Durham Nuclear Awareness, stated that she is
concerned that OPG will be arranging public consultation as part of the
environmental assessment process. A Panel Review under the Canadian
Environmental Assessment Act would provide a broader scope than the
screening process. Unless there is an independent panel to carry out public
hearings, nothing will be gained. Her organization is very concerned about
the restart of a facility that is 30 years old.
4.
Jill Foster, Chair, Pickering Public Library Board, stated that the Library
Board is now ready to move on to the next phase of the development of
the western branch which is the design phase. Sandy Cameron, CEO, gave
a summary of the planning of the western branch. Linda Linton, Acting
CEO, gave a report on the status of the current situation at the Rouge Hills
Branch.
