Ontario Road Builders Association (ORBA) Response to Auditor General's Report

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Dec. 2, 2016 /CNW/ - Since 1927, the Ontario Road Builders' Association (ORBA) has advocated on behalf of the road building industry with the highest standards of service and integrity. One of ORBA's guiding principles is the promotion of fair, open, transparent and equitable procurement policies by all public owners.

ORBA is disappointed by what we consider a clear mischaracterization of the relationship between ORBA, the Ministry of Transportation, and discussions on the issues concerning our industry. We have been and remain committed to participating in what we consider to be transparent, good faith discussions with public sector agencies to the benefit of all Ontarians.

The Ontario Road Builders' Association (ORBA) is the voice of the transportation infrastructure sector in Ontario. Our members build the majority of provincial and municipal roads, bridges, transit and transportation infrastructure across the province, and employ in excess of 30,000 workers at peak season.
