MPP Jean-Marc Lalonde issues his rebuttal part 2

Furthermore, Lalonde says that reconsidering the clean-up plans would cause too many delays and incur extra spending.
All people have a right to complain. They tell us they are doing it wrong, that we should clean the entire lagoon — but if we do that the cost will more than double — it might be as high as $40 million or even $80 million, and the results might not even be better, Lalonde claimed. The way we are proceeding, we will meet all the standards of the Ministry of Environment. In the end this will be a beautiful park that the people of Hawkesbury will be proud to see, he said.
Lalonde did not attribute the figure of $40 million or $80 million to any source.
