Stephen Harper, Canada's Conservative prime minister, originally chided the opposition as "gossipy old busybodies" for dwelling on Ms Couillard.
"It takes a skilled service-sector worker approximately 14 years of average earnings to be able to buy a 60 sq m dwelling; the expense of buying a flat is comparable to renting it for 30 years," it said.
The model for benzene (R2 = 0.78) included industrial land use within 1600 m, dwelling counts within 1200 m, and length of highway within 800 m.
The model for ethylbenzene (R2 = 0.81) included industrial land within 2600 m, dwelling counts within 1400 m, and length of highway within 800 m.
The model for (m+p) xylene and o-xylene had similar R2 of 0.80 including industrial land use within 1600 m, dwelling counts within 1200 m, and length of highway within 800 m.
The total BTEX model had a coefficient of determination (R) of 0.81 including industrial land use within 2500 m, dwelling counts within 1400 m, and length of highway within 900 m showing significant contribution to the model.
The noise model used is very similar to the model recommended by the EU directive in most points, except small corrections to better suit Danish conditions including calculating noise in level with the dwelling (EU: 4 m above ground) and use of the evening period 19 00-22 00 19 00-22 000-23:00 h).
Radiello samplers were also used to collect outdoor air samples, placed near the entrance of the dwellings (within 1 m), at a vertical distance from the ground suitable to avoid infringements (2 2.5 m), stored in a plastic case to avoid rain or snow.
The very high voltage lines, 225 and 400 kV (VHV-HVOL), and the high voltage lines, 63, 90 and 150 kV (HV-HVOL), were separated as dwellings located ⩽50 m from VHV-HVOL are expected to be more frequently exposed to higher ELF-MF than those located ⩽50 m from HV-HVOL (Maslanyj et al, 2009).
If we could not find five dwellings inside a radius of 2000 m around an unmeasured dwelling, the house got the same value as the closest measured dwelling.
Namapoikia was probably either a sponge or a coral-like organism, and built dwellings up to 1 m across out of calcium carbonate.
