Previously at the OMB they provided their affidavit evidence from a health expert to raise concerns of pit activity in an area already subject to harmful air quality. The OMB chair dismissed the evidence saying it was outside the scope of the hearing process and then sought to dismiss the case with costs.</div><div id="yiv5326303883yui_3_16_0_1_1447095646244_3239" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yiv5326303883yui_3_16_0_1_1447095646244_3239" dir="ltr">After an unusually long delay, well over a year, the ruling did come in today and CRAND is being charged $110,000 for costs.

It is my hope that Ontario's Anti Slapp law can be applied because this group diligently followed protocol, they trusted their legal experts (One of them failed them by using his own discretionary powers to voice concerns beyond the scope of their own interest. He missed key deadlines and delayed response which hampered their efforts.) There was nothing frivolous or vexatious about the data they submitted or their concerns. It is my hope this situation can be remedied through the proper application of Ontario's new Anti Slapp law. We are contacting legal advisors today to see what our options at this point are. </div><div id="yiv5326303883yui_3_16_0_1_1447095646244_3239" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yiv5326303883yui_3_16_0_1_1447095646244_3239" dir="ltr">If folks would like to provide any assistance to CRAND at this time please contact Temara Brown at temara.brown@gmail.com. </div><div id="yiv5326303883yui_3_16_0_1_1447095646244_3239" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yiv5326303883yui_3_16_0_1_1447095646244_3239" dir="ltr">Thank you. </div><div id="yiv5326303883yui_3_16_0_1_1447095646244_3239" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yiv5326303883yui_3_16_0_1_1447095646244_3239" dir="ltr">Louisette Lanteigne</div><div id="yiv5326303883yui_3_16_0_1_1447095646244_3239" dir="ltr">700 Star Flower Ave.</div><div id="yiv5326303883yui_3_16_0_1_1447095646244_3239" dir="ltr">Waterloo Ont.</div><div id="yiv5326303883yui_3_16_0_1_1447095646244_3239" dir="ltr">N2V 2L2</div></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>All mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:All@gren.ca" href="mailto:All@gren.ca">All@gren.ca</a><br><a href="http://gren.ca/mailman/listinfo/all_gren.ca" target="_blank" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447101510720_4255">http://gren.ca/mailman/listinfo/all_gren.ca</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
