Feds Want The Facts On Our Mystery Hum
Feds Want The Facts On Our Mystery Hum
Masse said Dechert's trip was in response to two letters he sent to Baird regarding the hum in February and
March.
But Essex MP Jeff Watson - who spent Friday alongside Dechert - said he has been bringing up this issue to
Baird since the middle of last year.
Watson said the reason the federal government is stepping in is because the noise may be originating from
across the border, which makes it an international relations concern.
Watson said although the hum is something that has plagued residents for some time now, it is important to
resist the urge to be aggressive when it comes to finding a resolution with counterparts across the border in
order to act responsibly.
"I think the expectations have been raised to a level that somehow this is very simple and that another study will
solve it, but we don't know that for a fact.
"I think what we need to do is work in a very methodical fashion with our U.S. stakeholders, create a pathway
on how we're going to tackle this issue, see if a source or multiple sources can be identified and from that,
whether it can be mitigated or not," said Watson.
"So there are more questions than answers at this particular point."
