In Ottawa MPs backed the government 62 to 30 against a Conservative bid for a special parliamentary committee to monitor the proposed Canada Transportation Commission. The 17 member body would oversee land sea and air transport under federal control, while grain movement rates for Crowsnest Pass could be reviewed after three years, not 10.
