He said he wasn't hedging on
the issue, but added that it
.would not, be 'A- fair comparison
'to estimate the cost to the
federal 'government for
maintaining the base while in

, "When the federal
government operates 'a base, it
operates a base," said Hamilton.
He suggested -that the services

facility," said Southcott.
He said that Hon. Mr.
MacNaughtorr would be eager to
serve on a•three-level committee
of federal, provincial and
municipal representatives who
would consider , the bids that
came in on the property at CFB
Clinton. .
It was noted from the report
of the Huron DevelopMent
Committee that the county

meeting withfederal and
provincial people- to discuss the

"federal government took so
long to say no" with -regard to
Whether or, not some federal
govemnient .department would

He said the Clinton Base had
not been offered 'to the Ontario
