Review Highway 407 ETR - Gratitude and Thanks

I would like to express my gratitude to a number of people without whose help the Investigative Review would not have been successful.

My thanks go out to David Zimmer, MPP for Willowdale, Vic Dhillon, MPP for Brampton West-Mississauga, Mario G. Racco, MPP for Thornhill, and Tony C. Wong, MPP for Markham, for sharing their time with me on the Review panel. I would also like to thank Anne Hart from the Better Business Bureau for sharing her dossiers. They gave us a window into the kinds of problems that 407 ETR consumers have been dealing with for a very long time.

Last, but certainly the most important, I would like to thank the members of the Ontario public who showed up to the consultations or otherwise made their views known. They were helpful and grateful that we were going ahead with this initiative. They were also hopeful that we would come up with workable solutions. People are often uncomfortable disclosing confidential personal information about their finances. The fact that so many chose to do so is testimony both to the level of frustration felt by so many 407 ETR consumers — and their eagerness to be part of the solution
