The Ontario Northland Transportation Commission (ONTC), or simply Ontario Northland, is a Crown agency of the Government of Ontario.
ONTC operates the following public services in Northern Ontario:
- Ontario Northland Railway, offering freight and passenger rail transport
- Ontario Northland Motor Coach Services, offering inter-city bus and parcel transport
- Ontera, a telecommunications company
In March 2012, the government of Ontario announced its intention to wind down the ONTC, discontinue the Northlander passenger train service, and sell off the corporation's commercially valuable assets.
Famous quotes containing the word commission:
“Yesterday the Electoral Commission decided not to go behind the papers filed with the Vice-President in the case of Florida.... I read the arguments in the Congressional Record and can’t see how lawyers can differ on the question. But the decision is by a strictly party vote—eight Republicans against seven Democrats! It shows the strength of party ties.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
