RECREATION ,SHOWCASE„ Friday,July.. .7 FEARING TALENT TU CONTEST COMMITTEE REPORT Pursuant to its Order of Refer- ence of Uriday, May 5 19.72, our Committee held public hearings in Sbuth Western Ontario for the, putpose of hearing repres- entations on the adequacy of pas- senger service: in that area. Dur- ing these hearings which were held in London, Chatham, Strat- ford'and Walkerton,: Ontario, 6m. 1-ttee received approx- imately fifty-five briefs and heard from sixty-eight witnesses. In additiOn,. your Committee was presented with petitions, letters and Mail-in coupons containing several thousand names asking for 'restoration or continuance of rail passenger service in the South Western Ontario region. As 'a result of hearings by Jibe Canadian Transport Coinmission held at Owen Sound and Guelph, Ontario in 1970 six distinct rail passenger services were ordered discontinued effective November 1, 1970; At the time of the dis- continuance, the Canadian'Trans• port Commission assumed and the residents of the affected areas were informed that the bus lines in the area could adequately ac- commodate. all public transporta- tion needs. After almost two years the, evidence presented to your Committee indicates that there is widespread dissatisfaction with the type of passenger service offered to the travelling public. of South Western Ontario. Your Committee also found that exist- ing bus services in the area do not constitute a satisfactory alternate public transportation service. Therefore your Committee rec- ommends that all rail passen,ger services which were discontinued on November 1, 1970 should be re-established immediately and a moratorium should 'be placed on -all-pending-passenger train discon- tinuance applications in Canada,. until the study referred to here- after is completed, as recommend• ed in many briefs and particularly in that brief presented by the Gov- ernment of the Province of Ontar- io. Your Committee also'recom- mends that .a joint study group Composed of representatives of Federal, Provincial, Municipal officials and railway employees be established immediately to • determine a minimum rail pas- senger network as defined in re- lationship to the Most efficient and adequate transpohation systerr making the best use of all modes of transportation-at7the-low-est--:— possible total cost. Your Committee also recom- iiends that departmental officials concerned with ferryservices, river erosion, and airport upgrading study the problems ex- pressed during the Chatham hear- ings by municipal offidials 'to determine the feasibility ofearly andpractical solntions to these serious problems. , Your Committee further recom- mends' that the railways be direct- ed to investigate better methods of transporting feeder cattle, from Western to Eastern Canada partia- ularly with a view to the upgrading of feeding and watering stations on route and the use of improved cats in which cattle could beefed and watered on the cars.

Mr. Brydon was minister in Ripley for several years and was largely instrumental in starting Night. Schools in the area. Represent Festival At Meeting As you note, the gist of to whole statement is the unanimous rerommendation that-all-roilway passenger servide, discontinued , as of November 1, 1910 be re- established immediately, and secondly, that a Joint Committee of municipal, provincial and fed- eral railway employees also be established imrnediately• to work out a satisfactory transportation ..system for our area ,.at the lowest possible cost. Your guess is as good. as mine as to what is going•to happen, WTI must Say that it w8uld be most difficult for the Oovernnint and the Canadian Transport . Commission to ignore such a rec- ommendation from a Committee which is composed of all Parties, and which has a. majority of Gov , erhment Members sitting 'on it.
