face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-weight:bold'>Last
week, MPP Laurie Scott asked in the Legislature to extend the public
consultation for the review of the Aggregate Resources Act, and to allow the
committee to travel to several aggregate producing areas of the province to
visit sites and seek public input.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>

House Leader John Milloy told Ms. Scott that the Conservatives "can't have
it both ways" - that they want the review committee to be independent of
the legislature, and to conduct the review in the manner they see fit, but that
they want the government to mandate an extension and travel to several
locations to gather input.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>

the week, the review committee UNANIMOUSLY passed a motion to request an
extension of the public input process, and to add a travel program. Now, just
one day before the public input period is set to expire, there has been no
response from the house.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
