Estimate project costs are $21 million. Over the past three years, they have pursued federal and Council Meeting Minutes - 4 - June 12, 2006 provincial funding opportunities and in particular COMRIF. To date, their application has been unsuccessful partly because the COMRIF secretariat has determined that the cost per household does not fit their criteria. The Municipality is hosting a meeting to discuss opportunities and strategies to obtain funding from the upper tier governments for these important projects in water and waste water on June 9, 2006 at 10:30 a.m. He hopes that a representative of Clarington, a senior staff member and/or a member of Council, will be able to attend.

I - 17 Dale Mercer, President and Rocco Gerace, Registrar, The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario providing an overview of the actions that the College has been taking to increase the number of licensed physicians in Ontario and to convey their 2005 registration statistics. One of their top priorities for the last few years has been to find creative ways to address the lack of physicians in this province. Past initiatives have included the publication of Tackling the Doctor Shortage, a discussion paper providing recommendations directed to government and all stakeholders, including the College, that were designed to increase access to physicians. Their initiatives have included working with Ontario’s Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, the Government of Canada and other partners to develop new pathways for foreign-trained physicians to become licensed to practice medicine in Ontario. As a result, 2005 marked the second year in a row that the College granted more medical licenses to International Medical Graduates (IMGs) than Ontario medical school graduates. This included 1,082 certificates issued to IMGs, graduating from 91 different countries. The total number of certificates issued in 2005 was the highest annual total in 20 years. To increase the number of physicians in Ontario, they continue to advocate for the government to increase enrolment at Ontario’s medical schools and post-graduate training positions. They are pleased that in 2006, the government allowed IMGs to apply for residency positions in Ontario during their final year of medical school. This included Canadian/Ontarian residents who were studying abroad. The College is requesting that this policy is repeated in 2007.

I – 20 Ministry of the Environment advising that the McGuinty government has taken another step to safeguard the province’s water supply by improving the rules for drinking water systems. Testing and operating requirements have been changed to be easier to follow, to provide more treatment options and reduce costs for smaller systems. The changes will not compromise public health, but will make operations more practical.

Constituents have pointed that there are no noise barriers along the highway at this location, as there are in our neighbouring communities. Some residents have noticed the noise level from the highway is increasing and that this affects their ability to enjoy their property. He would appreciate knowing whether Clarington Councillors have heard the same concerns that have been brought to his attention. If so, perhaps a resolution from Council would further assist in supporting a request to the Ministry of Transportation for noise reduction barriers.

Greater Napanee Council is not a willing host to this proposal. The position of the Council is that no municipality should be required to take garbage from across the Province if they are not a “willing host” to such a proposal.
