Ottawa July 29 Public ownership of the Beauharnois development is the main aim of the select committee report to the House of Commons.

The document, tabled Tuesday night by Hon W A Gordon, also criticizes R A C Henry and J B Hunter related to campaign fund misuse and calls into question evidence from public works officials.
