The order of business then will be to consider hiring legal assistance and a railway construction engineer for preparation of a case to be presented to the federal cabinet. . It is to be noted that nowhere in their program do those initiating this move suggest they are advocating a northward extension of the PGE. The same policy of leaving the route open to choice was followed at the recent convention of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce. The policy adopted at the convention reads: "Such a rail link would cross the northern transcontinental line of the CNIl and goods could fLw through any Pacific port."
