Busing Committee Struck

The federal and provincial government's have agreed to set up a special committee to look at busing issues right across Canada.

It comes as Greyhound continues to threaten to withdraw service in northwestern Ontario at the beginning of December.

Manitoba Transport Minister Ron Lemieux says Federal Transport Minister John Baird recognizes the troubles facing Greyhound and the importance to keep the bus service running throughout Canada.

But there remains no consensus on whether government should subsidize the intercity bus company.
