FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEJune 6, 2013Liberals “deleting accountability” on gas plant scandal, report says(Queen’s Park) – In a scathing report from Information and Privacy Commissioner Ann Cavoukian,Liberal staff members were found to have broken the law by intentionally deleting evidence on thecancelled gas plants in Oakville and Mississauga.Cavoukian wrote in her report entitled Deleting Accountability: Records Management Practices ofPolitical Staff: “It is difficult to accept that the routine deletion of emails was not in fact an attempt bystaff in the former minister’s office to avoid transparency and accountability in relation to their work.”That, says Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece, is strong evidence of a cover-up.“The Liberals seem prepared to do almost anything, even breaking the law, to protect their power,” hesaid. “Who will face the consequences? So far, it looks like no one will, until the people have their say.”The issue represents another example, Pettapiece said, of the government behaving no differently thanit did under former premier Dalton McGuinty.“With the former premier, Liberal staff deleted emails to avoid accountability,” Pettapiece said. “Underthe current premier, Liberal staff members used private email accounts to discuss the gas plantscandal.”Using private accounts instead of government accounts allows them to dodge Freedom of Informationrequests, he explained.“The Wynne Liberals are showing no more respect for the people I represent than the McGuintyLiberals did,” said Pettapiece. “They want the government to be straight with them, and they want themto stop wasting their hard-earned tax dollars.”The Liberals are showing no sign of doing either, Pettapiece believes.“The commissioner’s report is just another reason we need a full judicial inquiry on the gas plantscandal,” Pettapiece concluded. “And the only way to get a judicial inquiry is to change thegovernment.”The official opposition is also calling on the government to call in the OPP’s white collar crime unit toinvestigate wrongdoing in the offices of premiers Kathleen Wynne and Dalton McGuinty.Last year, the Liberals were found in contempt of parliament when the government refused to produceall documents relating to the gas plant scandal.- 30 -Randy Pettapiece, MPP | 519-272-0660 | www.pettapiece.ca27

Visitors were chargedadmission.In 1959, the GRCA purchased the mill and 79hectares of land from the Harris family. A coupleof years later, the road system, parking lots, gatehouseand pavilion were constructed, laying theground work for the conservation area to open in1963. Today, over 85,000 patrons visit every yearto enjoy the geological wonders of the park andvisit the historic and beautiful mill ruins. The parkoffers 110 campsites, canoeing, hiking, fishing andswimming. The pond is stocked with brown trouteach spring.The geology and natural heritage mean it is aprovincially significant area for its biology, geologyand caves.Join the healthy hikesThe GRCA and its partners have kicked off anew hiking campaign called Healthy Hikes.Healthy Hikes encourage people to energizetheir body and mind by spending more time innature at GRCA conservation areas, nature centresand trails. Participants can also hike at more than270 other conservation areas throughout Ontariomanaged by Ontario’s 36 conservation authorities.The program continues until October.Ontarians are encouraged to take the HealthyHikes challenge by registering online and thenrecording hiking time at www.healthyhikes.ca.They can earn bonus points by participating inqualifying activities at conservation areas andnature centres. There are $2,500 worth of greatprizes up for grabs.Information on GRCA events is on the GRCAwebsite at www.grandriver.ca/calendar. Otherorganizations partnering with the GRCA, ConservationOntario and the conservation authoritiesinclude the Canadian Mental Health Association,Trees Ontario, York Region, the Ontario TrailsCouncil, Ducks Unlimited Canada, The BruceTrail Conservancy and the David Suzuki Foundation.Dry with rainstormsMay was mostly dry, but this was interspersedwith storms that brought wet weather.During the second weekend in May temperaturesdropped, resulting in a mix of rain, hail andeven snow. Later on May 21, farmers in the Wallensteinarea reported 100 mm of rain between 5p.m. and 6 p.m. The flow at St. Jacobs in the ConestogoRiver changed from 4.4 cubic metres persecond at 7 p.m. to 50 cms at 8 p.m. and 91 cms by9 p.m.As a result, on May 22 the GRCA issued a highwater safety statement to advise the public ofchanging river conditions. Another advisory wasissued May 31 due to rain during another storm.May was also about 1.8 degrees above normal atthe Shand Dam, however this year has seen swingsin temperature. Groundwater levels have recoveredfrom the dry period in 2012 and are nearnormal for this time of year, with water levels inwells still increasing. Reservoirs are in their normaloperating range for the time of year.GRCA moving to yellowbooms at damsCanoeists and anglers in the Grand River watershedare going to start seeing booms of a differentcolour at some dams.The GRCA will gradually install yellow boomsto replace orange warning booms that are installedupstream of some GRCA dams. The change isconsistent with regulations set by Transport Canada,which oversees navigable waterways. Thebooms are made of plastic floats joined togetherby a chain.Yellow booms were installed this year on Cedarwww.grandriver.ca35Grand River Conservation Authority

Creek in Ayr and Baden Creek. Yellowbooms will be installed at other dams as theolder orange ones wear out.These booms and buoys warn boaters andanglers of the dangers around dams.At “low head” or “run of the river” dams,water flows across the entire width of thedam so they can sometimes be difficult tospot from upstream. The water looks peacefulbut the currents can be quite strong andexceptionally dangerous on the downstreamside. The churning water, known as the“boil” can trap people under water.Larger dams, such as Conestogo, Shand,Woolwich, Luther and Guelph, are regulatedby gates and valves, which can create dangerouscurrents in the dam area.Bobolink researchBobolinks at Luther Marsh Wildlife ManagementArea will be part of a research projectthat is looking into why the number ofbobolinks is declining.Dan Kim from Oregon and Roz Renfrewfrom Vermont have worked with bobolinksand geolocators in the United States. Theyare working with Canadian Wildlife Servicesongbird biologist Mike Cadman, a studentand some volunteers.They are searching the area for nests, andwatching birds to map territorial boundaries.They will lure the birds into the nets, bandeach with a government band and given ageolocator. The researchers hope to band 20males and 20 females.Next year, these same birds will need to berecaptured and the data downloaded to findout where they have been. This data will beadded to data about this species in othersites across Canada and the U.S. to see whatmay be causing the decline in bobolink.Jefferson salamandersIt’s confirmed — Jefferson salamanders areliving at Taquanyah Conservation Area inthe southern Grand.Jefferson salamanders are endangeredprovincially and nationally and are protectedunder the Ontario Endangered Species Act.Despite the cooler start to spring, a recordnumber of salamanders were found atTaquanyah. Two vernal ponds were confirmedas breeding ponds for the first timethis year.Yellow is the new orange for booms at GRCA dams. Yellow booms were installed at Badenand Ayr. Eventually all dams will have yellow booms as the orange ones need to be replaced,A vernal pool is a temporary water bodythat fills with water from melting snow,storm water or groundwater during thespring. These pools usually dry up duringthe summer.Eggs that were found are most likely Jeffersonsalamander, but could be Jefferson-Blue spotted complex salamander. GRCAstaff take a small tissue sample from the tailto test the salamanders DNA to find outwhich species it is, because this is the onlyway to know for sure. A visual inspection isnot enough.Beach testing underwayFrom late May to Labour Day, the GRCAand local health units regularly test the waterat designated beaches in GRCA Parks toensure the water meets the guidelines set forswimming areas in Ontario.Beaches are posted when levels of E. colibacteria exceed the Ministry of Healthguidelines. A posting is a recommendationthat swimming should be avoided or thatindividuals swim at their own risk.Testing is done at 10 locations within theconservation areas. One of them, EloraQuarry, doesn’t open until later in June.For updated results, checkwww.grandriver.ca/newsroom/news.cfm.Paddling fundraiserfor treesFor two years running, Derek Lippert andJP Bartle of the landscape firm Quiet NatureLtd. paddled the Grand River, from the scenicupper reaches to Lake Erie at Port Maitland.The pair raised over $3,000 each of thepast two years for the GRCA’s tree plantingprogram.This issue of GRCA Minutes was publishedin June 2013.It is a summary of the May 2013 businessconducted by the Grand River ConservationAuthority board and committeesas well as other noteworthy happeningsand topics of interest.The Grand River Conservation Authoritywelcomes the photocopying,forwarding and distribution of GRCAMinutes.Next board meeting: June 28 at9:30 a.m., GRCA Administration Centre.Reports mentioned in GRCA Current areat www.grandriver.ca/MeetingReports.For coming events, please seewww.grandriver.ca/Calendar.Grand Actions newsletter available at:www.grandriver.ca/GrandActions36PO Box 729, 400 Clyde Road, Cambridge, Ontario N1R 5W6 (519) 621-2761Follow the GRCA:
