BURLINGTON, ON

The Ontario New Democrats tell us that Metrolinx is adding 11 more overpaid executives, and writing off 500 million taxpayer dollars.

The Metrolinx’s focus on hiring more high-paid executives gets the count of six figure salaries up to “a completely absurd figure of 135”.

“How many six-figure salaries will it take for us to see some accountability? Do they need to get to 200 executives before someone has the idea to be transparent with the people of Ontario?

“We need a full public inquiry into Metrolinx, so we can deliver reliable public transit that doesn’t waste people’s time and hard-earned money.”

The average salary for a vice-president at the Crown corporation was roughly $248,000 in 2025, according to the list. That’s up from $243,000 in 2024 and $237,000 the year before.

Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles said spending at the agency, which now has as many vice-presidents as there are MPPs in the province.
