City Council was divided last night when the topic of
the Central Canada Research trust came up.
Councilor Len Compton says talk of joining Manitoba will
go no where, while Councilor Andrew Poirier agrees, he
says Northern Ontario does need more representation.
Kenora Mayor Dave Canfield says the point of the
research project is to examine several options, not just
joining Manitoba.

Canfield feels council agrees that something must be
done to help Northern Ontario, and the situation is only
getting worse.
The research project looks at a seperate northern
ontario cabinet minister, and a northern ontario act.
