Companies plowing Ontario highways owe $2.5M in fines - chairman - 12-13-2016
Companies clearing Ontario highways owe more than $2.5 million in fines for poor performance last winter, but there is little the government can do to collect, except wait.
The province levied $3.25 million in fines against its highway maintenance contractors during the winter of 2015-16, but has so far only collected $693,000, according to new figures provided to CBC News by the Ministry of Transportation.
Ontario's long-term contracts for winter maintenance give snow-clearing companies the right to appeal the fines, and Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca said the dispute-resolution process takes time.
