		<description>I didn&#039;t say they didn&#039;t attend meetings, I said they did not attend meetings that dealt with response to project funding. Oh no they never miss a glad handing session or a chance to hand out a Canadian flag, or in Stoffers case ,make a presentation of a certificate on behalf of a Minister of the Crown.

Paris has already informed the community that provincial PCap funding is not available yet his Govt buys corporate land that has been clear cut with capital funding.</description>

		<description>Gary, both Percy and Peter have said they couldn&#039;t become involved until HRM regional council passed the motion to proceed with the installation of water, which they can now do. I&#039;m sure they will both be involved. As for Percy&#039;s record at public meetings, I&#039;ve been to a number of these and he has been at each one.</description>

		<description>The paragraph detailing request for additional funding for the water supply system for the residents of Monarch Rivendale leaves me puzzled as to the absense of response to this issue from the MLA Paris and the Member of Parliament Stoffer. I don&#039;t  know if either have been present for this discussion regarding funding but clearly they are responsible for the safety and well being of that community

I know in the past Stoffer and Paris both have used the excuse that &quot; we are not in power so we can&#039;t help.&quot; Well ,Paris is in power and my understanding is that his attendance record at public meetings has been poor at best and the message that finally came was in the negative ,as funding for the P-CAP program was exhausted. Soffer continues his response by mail and continues his deplurable attendance record failing to come to the table when funding is needed for major community projects. 

Why did these representatives not approach their respective levels of government with the community and council support presenting the community of Monarch Riverdale as a dying and endangered community seeking a life line as other communities have done in the past. Many years ago the community of Waverley was able to get water when that community was declared an endangered community because of arsenic in the water. Quantity of water poses as great a threat to a community as Quality and governments will not let communities die if the right political leadership exists and do their job and that job is bigger than glad handing and letter writing.</description>
