By Derek Dunn, InsideOttawaValley, November 7, 2019 The special advisor’s report
into massive flooding last spring along the Ottawa River, the second in two
years, will be made public “in the coming weeks.” Natural resources minister
John Yakabuski has the independent reviewer’s report and issued a statement on
Friday, Nov. 1. The Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP alluded to climate change as
the cause, and made no reference to government incompetency at the federal
level.
“Flooding is a serious problem that is becoming increasingly common as Ontario experiences more frequent extreme weather events,” reads Yakabuski’s statement. “Our number one priority is the safety of the public and the protection of our communities.”
