1.ACR passenger train e-petition deposited by MP Carol Hughes in House of Commons
Carol Hughes, MP for Algoma--Manitoulin—Kapuskasing, presented the online petition to Minister of Transport Marc Garneau in the House of Commons on February 22. She underlined the huge economic impact this train brings to the regional economy and the fact that this is the only form of transportation into the many communities along this rail corridor. We appreciate MP Hughes efforts to have the federal government restore this essential service and economic driver. A government response to the petition must be provided and tabled in the House within 45 calendar days.
