Greyhound Hampton

Kenora-Rainy River M-P-P Howard Howard wants to know why the province hasn't met with Greyhound over the bus company's plans to withdraw service in northwestern Ontario.

Hampton told the legislature yesterday that while Greyhound worked out a deal last week to continue service in Manitoba, no such meetings are planned with the McGuinty government.

Transportation Minister Jim Bradley said he felt optimistic another company would be prepared to take over Greyhound's routes if it moved forward with its withdrawal of service on December 2nd.
