Greyhound Service Deadline

With a deadline looming, the provincial government is stilltrying to stop Greyhound from pulling out of Manitoba.

Transport Minister Ron Lemieux says he wants buses to keeprunning across the province but his counterparts across the countryaren't interested in subsidizing the bus company.

He says a national working group is being struck to look at busservice in Canada but their recommendations will come too late tosave Greyhound service in Manitoba and northern Ontario.

Greyhound could cease its operations in the two provinces withina few weeks.
