contents of the letter which was authored by the Transportation Minister William Wyre The Mayor intrepreted the near future to mean that a ministry in vestigation will begin within mon ths and not in two years as some local municipal politicians had originally speculated The province had already com rmtted to building a GO train stop in Guelph with construction begin rung as early as the fall Paul
