Canada plans seaway authority to build St Lawrence route
Transport Minister Lionel Chevrier announced in the House that a new agency named The St Lawrence Seaway Authority will be created to build and operate the waterway from Montreal to Lake Erie. It would set tolls, borrow up to 30 million dollars, and pursue a largely Canadian plan if the U S fails to join. The project faces federal costs of 250 to 300 million for navigation if the U S stays out. The authority would not handle power development, estimated at about 400 million.
