These proposed provincial and federal projects would occupy land taken from these two York Region towns and become part of the new Dur- ham Regional Municipality which includes the Pickering area. The province last week announced the area of land being taken for the satellite city is being reduced. The federal government’s public inquiry into the airport plan is soon to begin hearings. MP ATKEY PROTESTS Ronald Atkey MP, St. Paul’s. last week accused the minority Liberal federal gov- ernment of muzzling oppon- ents of the proposed new Metro area airport in Mark- ham-Pickering. Progressive Conservative MP Atkey told Transport Minister Jean Marchand in the Commons that terms of reference for the three-man airport board of inquiry are too restrictive to allow effec- tive opposition to the scheme. Marchand told Atkey the complaint was strictly At- key's own opinion, Marchand refused to change the terms of reference for the airport inquiry. ‘ - Outside the Commons later Atkey told reporters the in- quiry board, acting under its authority to conduct a full- scale public inquiry, effec- ti\'ely has stopped. opponents from making their views heard.
