Peace River railways row tightens party lines
In a heated legislative session Premier Greenfield, Attorney General Brownlee, and opposition leader Mr. Mitchell clashed over railway policy and the Royal Bank deal. Mitchell pressed for ministerial clarity on railways while Brownlee defended negotiations with the bank as crucial to lowering freight rates and coast access for the Peace River region. A secret redistribution plan signals possible seat reductions to 45 or 40 in the next reshuffle.
