JUST as the "lock-up" technical briefing for the release of the federal Clean Air Act was getting underway two weeks ago, the ceiling of the translators' booth collapsed on top of the translators. No one was injured, but it certainly grabbed everyone's attention. "The sky really is falling!" quipped one of the departmental officials shuttling boxes of briefing material. According to a recent report on OECD countries, Canada ranks among the bottom three industrialized countries in controlling most major air pollutants. Even compared to the United States, Canada fares poorly. A study comparing Canadian and U.S. industrial sites in the Great Lakes basin found that per facility, Canadian factories emit 93 per cent more potentially cancer-causing air pollutants than their U.S. counterparts. ...

Mike Shkolny, manager of the engineering division for the city's water and waste department, said the estimated cost of the treatment plant has jumped to $300 million from $230 million, while the projected cost of the South End Water Pollution Control Centre expansion has jumped to $203 million from $125 million. Now department officials fear they're also facing a substantial increase in the projected $240-million price tag for expansion of the city's North End Pollution Control Centre. David Martin, executive director of the Manitoba Building Trades and Construction Council, told a Winnipeg building and property management forum that Manitoba construction firms are just barely holding their own in the face of an "unprecedented" number of major construction projects underway in the prov...

Federal and provincial governments should allocate $2 billion in new public funding to leverage the billions of dollars of industry investment in the first CCS projects," reads the report, Canada's Fossil Energy Future: The Way Forward on Carbon Capture and Storage. "This funding should be distributed expeditiously through a competitive request for proposals process so that these Phase 1 projects are operational by 2015. "The concept of polluter pay is apparently too complicated for the oil industry. Apparently they think it is pay the polluter," said John Bennett, the executive director of climateforchange.ca. "If the oil industry wants to use this technology it should pay for its own pollution. The cost of cleaning up an industry should come out of the profits of the industry, not t...

The utility plan approved on Wednesday will involve finding a "strategic partner" to build some of the slated upgrades to the city's North End and South End water pollution control centres -- and recovering $3 million of the utility's startup cost from that private company or consortium. If we don't find one, that's the end of that," said [Sam Katz], insisting the main motivation behind the utility plan is to prevent future cost overruns by bringing private-sector design or engineering firms into the waste-water fold. City council's unofficial opposition remains skeptical about the utility plan, as Couns. Jenny Gerbasi (Fort Rouge), Dan Vandal (St. Boniface), Harvey Smith (Daniel McIntyre) and Lillian Thomas (Elmwood) argued an independent corporation would not operate in Winnipeg's be...
