June 30, 1965 (26th Parliament, 3rd Session)

Hon. Lucien Cardin (Minister of Public Works):

1 and 2. In a letter dated February 2, 1965, Hon. Stephen Pyke requested approval to route the trans-Canada highway across Pictou Harbour at the mouth of the Middle and West Rivers. The route was approved as requested on the basis that under the Trans-Canada Highway Agreement the federal government would participate only in the actual or equivalent cost of the most economical crossing for a two lane highway. The type of crossing to be used has not yet been established.
