Compton on AMO

The federal Transport Minister is being urged to establish a central aircraft registry in Canada.

Kenora Mayor Len Compton has been lobbying for such an agency for several years and is hoping to get a meeting with federal officals in Ottawa next week.

Compton says the United States has had such registry for over 80 years.

Compton suggests Kenora would be a perfect location for such an agency due to its central location.

He'll be in Ottawa next week for the annual Association of Municipalities of Ontario convention.
