    An Opinion as to the Extent to which the Decisions by Cabinet to Terminate The Northlander and Divest the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission Are Based Upon, Supported By, Justified By, or Are Otherwise Derived from Methodologically Sound Research Dr. Barry Wellar, MCIP Distinguished Research Fellow Chair, ONR-ONTC Research Task Force Transport Action Canada Principal, Wellar Consulting Inc. Report prepared for Transport Action Ontario and Transport Action Canada February 2013 An Opinion as to the Extent to which the Decisions by Cabinet to Terminate The Northlander and Divest the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission Are Based Upon, Supported By, Justified By, or Are Otherwise Derived from Methodologically Sound Research 1. Purpose of Report This report addresses the connection between the decisions made by Cabinet to terminate The Northlander (the passenger train service of the Ontario Northland Railway (ONR)) and to divest the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission (ONTC), and the research which was undertaken to provide the basis, logic, rationale, grounding, framework, criteria, etc., for the decisions. In particular, and as the final report in this phase of ONR-ONTC Research Task Force activity, the focus of this report is on the question which was instrumental in launching the project: What is the extent to which the decisions by Cabinet to terminate The Northlander and divest the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission are based upon, supported by, justified by, or are otherwise derived from methodologically sound research? The purpose of this report, therefore, is to confirm the extent to which the decisions by Cabinet to terminate The Northlander and to divest the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission were based on methodologically sound research, and to then outline some of the research-related implications and consequences that arise or could arise as a result of how Cabinet conducted the deliberations which resulted in the termination and divestment decisions.
