CPAC THIS COMING MONDAY, 7 PM. AT WOOLWICH COUNCIL

Firstly there has been a time change from the usual 6 pm. to 7 pm.. This is to accomodate a CPAC member who will be out of town that day and hopefully can make it back by 7 pm. weather etc. depending.

Also added to the Agenda is a presentation by a vice-president of the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada (CIAC), namely a Mr. Bob Masterson. I believe that he is attending as part of Chemtura's and CIAC's attempt to reverse the verbal decision from before Christmas to deny verification (or reverification, whichever). He will most likely be advising CPAC and the public that there are a multitude of factors which determine compliance and that Chemtura may well be in compliance with the majority of them.

I have already written here in the Advocate why I believe that Chemtura aren't even close. This is based not only on common sense and their repugnant behaviour but also on specific principles of *Responsible Care which they do not abide by. As always CPAC and the public will give Chemtura and their friends an honest opportunity to state their case. I will of course be a Delegate and will be speaking against verification. I believe that CPAC will appropriately weigh all the evidence and appropriately put more weight on actions and less on words and promises. That too will not help Chemtura's cause.

The M.O.E. may or may not be present as they originally agreed to the date only to change their minds last week. Classy. Regardless I also expect that the ridiculous and almost asinine response received from the Minister's office concerning the face to face meeting with CPAC and Woolwich Township will be discussed.

This will be an excellent meeting to attend and I expect all of Chemtura's supporters will be there to assist them. It's amazing in hindsight watching some of them rotate 180 degrees and still pretend that they are doing the right thing. The words which come to mind are sellouts and hypocrites.
