	(QUEBEC CITY) Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa is playing down claims
by his Environment Minister that his under-staffed department can no
longer protect the health and safety of the public.  
	Bourassa says the comments were made in the context of the P-C-B
fire in St-Basile-le-Grand and the lead pollution scare in St-Jean. 
Bourassa says Paradis is trying to obtain an increase in the budget for
the Ministry of the Environment, as promised during the election
campaign.
