Local operators say they will be forced out of business if a provincial proposal requiring them to compete against large multinational companies is approved.
Councillor Jim Harrison and Mayor John Williams met with Minister Kathleen Wynne yesterday, and she spoke about meeting with the Provincial Bus Operators Association, and her concerns about local operators not being shut out..
Harrison says the provincial government is working on a model to include a request for proposals, but also making the process fair.
