PRESENTATION
(a) G. Chong, Chair, Greater Toronto Services Board, 1000
Murray Ross Parkway, Toronto, M3J 2P3 informed Members of the
Committee that he served on the "Who does Whaf' panel in 1996 and this
resulted in the creation of the Greater Toronto Services Board, having
responsibility for GO Transit. The Greater Toronto Services Board hopes to
receive a long term funding commitment from the senior levels of
government as well as through amending legislation, legal authority to form
public/private partnerships in an effort to create a more coordinated
approach to transportalion and transit. This would create a formal
mechanism to resolve the transportalion crisis which exisls across the
Greater Toronto Area. Mr. Chong stated that, in his opinion, property tax
dollars should not be subsidising public transportation.
