(TORONTO) Metro Toronto has approved creation of a Task Force to study the pros and cons of Sunday shopping. Seven Councillors will sit on the Committee, which has until the end of June to submit its report to Metro Council for consideration. Councillor Howard Moscoe, a staunch opponent of Sunday shopping, will chair the Task Force. He says the committee will be guaging public opinion over the next four months to help draft its report on Sunday shopping. Council has set aside 10-thousand dollars for the Task Force to conduct a phone poll of 500 residents. A Sunday shopping plebiscite in the 1991 municipal elections is also a possibility. campbell/correspondent
