ONTARIO P1L1N3 -*----TELEPHONE (705) &45-2231 • FAX (705) 645-5319 MEMORANDUM To: Chair and Members of the Administration and Finance Committee From: John McRae Commissioner of Finance and Administration SUbJect~ Joint investment of money By-Law Date: December 15, 1992 ORIGIN: In 1992 the Municipal act was amended to allow municipalities to pool their monies and invest such monies jointly with other municipalities in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Act. MFOA (Municipal Financial Officers Association) and AMO have both set up a corporation to jointly invest municipal funds under this amendment (Subsection 167.4 of the Municipal Act). ANALYSIS: MFOA have now set up their company, CHUMS Financing Corporation. and have it in operation and are soliciting investments. The CHUMS Investment Fund is a money market fund for Ontario Municipalities and operates as follows: 2} All investments are owned by the municipalities which are participating in the Fund. 3} Each municipelity owns a share of all investments, based on that municipality's share of the total monies invested. 4} Funds are invested in qnly high grade, Canadian dollar investments as permitted by the Municipal Act. S} Funds may be invested for same-day credit. 6) Funds may be withdrawn for deposit to the municipality's bank account on the same day. 7) Investments and withdrawals are made with one phone call to a toll-fee number. The Fund will eliminate the need to contact several brokers to obtain quotesbefore investing. In order for the Treasurer to invest any surplus funds in any joint investment fund, a by-law must be passed to authorize the Treasurer to execute the required documents. I have outlined the workings of the CHUMS Investment Fund but the AMO Fund as well as others should work the same way and therefore I have attached a proposed by-law that would authorize entering into an agreement with any qualified agent. A copy of the Agency Agreement provided by CHUMS is attached and will be provided to District Council as stated in the By-Law. RECOMMENDATION: THAT the Administration and Finance Committee recommend that District Council pass a by-law authorizing the Treasurer to execute any document(s} for the purpose of joint investment of money by the Districtand other municipalities in Ontario. 103 AGENT - and ­ INVESTORS AGENCY AGREEMENT Dated as of October 30, 1992 McMIllAN BINCHC AGENCY AGREEMENT This agreement dated as of the 30th day of October, 1992 Is between CHUMS Financing Corporation, a corporation existing under the laws of Ontario, as Agent, and each of the Investors, as defined in this agreement For value received the parties agree as follows: ARTICLE 1 -INTERPRETATION 1.01 DefInitions.

    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.

  • 2021 Ontario Pre-Budget Submission Rail Is the Backbone of Canada's
    2021 Ontario Pre-Budget Submission Rail is the backbone of Canada’s economy and, even in challenging times, Ontarians continue to benefit from resilient freight and passenger railway services. The Railway Association of Canada (RAC) represents 21 railway operators in Ontario, accounting for more than 9,000 direct railroad jobs, and approximately $2.5 billion in direct GDP. 1 - Supporting Shortline Railways More than a dozen shortline railways in Ontario provide a low-cost, safe and emission-friendly service. Shortlines perform a vital role in our rail-based supply chain by providing crucial first- mile and last-mile service, connecting rural economies to the world. Curently, shortline revenues narrowly outpace expenses, which are growing on account of regulatory requirements related to grade crossings, environmental considerations and insurance. RAC believes that Ontario can do more to support shortline railways through grants, tax credits and low-interest loans. Recommendation: Create a dedicated capital funding program to support shortline infrastructure investment. 2 – Endorsing High Frequency Rail VIA Rail’s proposed High Frequency Rail (HFR) project represents a key infrastructure initiative that will contribute to Ontario post-pandemic economic recovery. HFR is a shovel-worthy project that will create jobs, while reducing GHG emissions. Recommendation: Collaborate with the federal government in launching VIA Rail’s HFR project to create employment, stimulate sustainable growth and leverage the environmental benefits of moving more passengers by rail. 3 – Enhancing Canadian Freight Railway Competitiveness Ontario needs a competitive tax framework to further incent railway infrastructure investment and ensure that the sector can maintain a robust supply chain and facilitate future volume growth.

  • Revitalization of Rail Passenger Service
    REVIVING RAIL PASSENGER SERVICE IN NORTHERN ONTARIO ‘IS IT POSSIBLE AND HOW CAN IT HAPPEN’ A DISCUSSION PAPER Prepared and developed by: W.H. (Howie) Wilcox, cmilt Transportation Logistics Consultant Sault Ste. Marie, ON September 21, 2009 INTRODUCTION: This paper has been produced to give a brief history of the dilution of passenger train service in the north, what it looks like today and how it could possibly be revised with the right attention in key areas. The concepts contained herein are those of the writer only with very little input from any other source other than research of information available in the public domain. Some of the ideas put forth are easily implemented with few adjustments to current systems while others are more complicated – possibly requiring government intervention, especially from the Province of Ontario. HISTORY: With advent of the opening of the Trans Canada Highway around Lake Superior and the introduction of regularly, scheduled air services from the north, the rail passenger services of both Canadian Pacific and Canadian National slowly declined and VIA Rail was created to take their places. Eventually, VIA consolidated its runs so that it only operates on the CN Transcontinental line through Sudbury to Winnipeg. Communities like Thunder Bay, Dryden and Kenora lost their passenger services. The Sault Ste. Marie to Sudbury Budd car that was so badly marketed (poor connections and slow service), many abandoned it for other means and service was discontinued in 1976. Only a few services survived until today and they are maintained because the areas serviced are considered remote with no other means of conveyance.
