Mr. Speaker, the member from Sault Ste. Marie is telling people the decision to cut passenger rail funding is justified because the communities along the Algoma Central Railway have “...year-round access to the national transportation system...”.
This is not the case for residents of Oba, whose only option would be a private, rough, logging road that is impassable at times.
When ACR service stops March 31, Oba will be stranded. Businesses along the ACR will suffer.
Will the government do the right thing and reverse this mean-hearted cut?
