There is currently a Private Member’s Bill before Parliament that contemplates turning the Trent Severn Canal system over to a crown corporation established to own, operate and manage it.

MP Barry Devolin, Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock is the author of the Bill.

The full text of the Bill can be found here.  Mr. Devolin’s comments on the Bill are here.

This is one of many issues that our Murray Canal District should review and formulate a position to reflect the desires of our residents.
