Thank you for sending this e-mail to MPP Miller; it is an interesting suggestion.
As well as providing NDP MPP Miller, critic for Economic Development and Trade, with your e-mail, by copy of this response I am sending your proposal to NDP MPP Gilles Bisson, MPP for Timmins – James Bay, as well as critic for Natural Resources and Transportation, for his information.
We will look very carefully at your proposal and discuss our position on it. As far as contacting the Premier to include this issue in his discussions with the Prime Minister, I suggest that you send your proposal directly to the Premier's office through his website –
http://www.premier.gov.on.ca/feedback/default.asp
from which you can e-mail him.
We appreciate you taking the time to look into this issue and send your information to us.

Original Post & Proposal
Forwarded to All members of the Ontario Legislature, Conservative, Liberal & NDP
Subject: Ontario Premier to meet with Prime Minister Harper - Economic Summit
Please;
use your influence to contact our Premier of Ontario and include for discussion with the Prime Minister of Canada during the Minister`s Economic meeting this month.
Subject:
North American Super Corridor
History:
: Manitoba`s Premier has mentioned in his address to the legislature that Manitoba has been in discussion for five years on this subject, as to building a pathway to Hudson Bay to facilitate the movement of goods delivered via Ocean vessels to the mid-west US marketplace and Mexico.
Saskatchewan has addressed a possibility of building the pathway thru their province.
Proposal:
Ontario should be thought of as an alternative to the proposed route, via linkage to James Bay.
Reason:
James Bay currently has rail traffic, and there is a highway sytem currently in place that could be upgraded to accomodate major movement of shipping goods.
James Bay is also much closer to population centres across North America and would allow for greater Ocean traffic to a port that would allow easy entry to most of our population in North America. Linkage is still available to mid west US marketplaces via current highway systems in place today. Even the distance to Winnipeg, Manitoba from James Bay is not that much greater than Churchill, Manitoba.
Justification:
Least Cost and with current access .
