Reply to Joyce Savoline, Ontario MPP for Burlington



To all concerned:
 
       The following was forwarded to Joyce Savoline, MPP for Burlington in the Ontario Legislature and was an answer to her reply that information related to
the development of James Bay as an ocean port was forwarded to Federal authorities. It does apply to all MPP`s as the original document was forwarded to all.
 
Joyce,
 
    Just wish to inform you that others have told me this is never going to happen in James Bay or a route thru Ontario.  Apparently the SPP initiative from our Federal Government have already agreed that Manitoba and therefore Churchill have been selected, leaving Ontario out.
 
Sorry to bother you in a subject that will never bear fruit in Ontario, even if it may have been the most logical and cheapest.
 
Perhaps if the SPP iniative does die, then our Ontario Government may step in and look to the future for its` Citizens.

My apologies for not informing you earlier, that we have sent this information to our Federal Member, Mike Wallace. We are requesting that he bring this to the attention of the appropriate Ministers and the Prime Minister.

Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. Please do not hesitate to contact me again.

Subject: Ontario Premier to meet with Prime Minister Harper - Economic Summit
To: joyce.savoline@pc.ola.org

 

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.
