Premier issues summary of railway probe
Ottawa reports outline sweeping reform of railway oversight and control. Three main recommendations replace the national railway directorate with a three member board, create a joint committee with Canadian Pacific, and establish an arbitral board with broad jurisdiction over both railways and the rail regulator. The plan also hints at freight rate changes and possible restructuring of National Railways capital, while rejecting amalgamation or leasing to Canadian Pacific. Premier Bennett says legislation will follow when parliament opens in October.
