House of Commons Debates Ottawa   March 3, 1978.
Mr. George H. Whitaker, Progressive Conservative.
     "When CN and CP abandon rail lines, as they are prone to do, the corridors, the rights of way, should revert to the Crown."
House of Commons Debates Ottawa April 29, 1974.
Mr. Hamilton (Qu'Appelle-Moose Mountain).
     "Has the minister a legal opinion from the Department of Justice as to the ownership of the land underneath the rails? I put my question another way by saying that under the Charter of the CPR and under the Charter of the various railways that make up the CNR, this land belonged to the Crown and was granted to the railways for the sole purpose of transportation. When the railway gives up land and no longer uses it for which the Charter was granted, all that land beneath the rails reverts to the Crown which was the grantee."
House of Commons Debates  Ottawa   June 5, 1970.
Mr. Jack Sydney George (Bud) Cullen, (Liberal.)
     "Would the government give consideration to the passing of legislation requiring the CNR and CPR to return property to the people of Canada each time they reduce a service?"
