Perth-Wellington MP Gary Schellenberger, spoke in the House of Commons on Sept. 30 about the lack of consideration given to windmill construction and lack of respect and proper consultation experienced by many rural Ontarians.
‘‘Health Canada announced a study in 2012 to research the impact of wind turbines on the health of Canadians. The results of this study, expected later this year, may come too late for some.
‘‘Though the study remains incomplete, windmills have been constructed at unprecedented levels.
‘‘While I applaud our government for launching such a study, I ask those responsible locally to reflect before prescribing a policy they would never want in their own cities and penthouse apartments.
‘‘The people in rural Ontario are tired of having our communities ignored, our health jeopardized, and our rights denied.’’
