If you mean southern Ontario like London or a small town down there, yeah 70k isn't bad. But in the GTA? With the current housing bubble? I kind of agree that this is a bit low. Especially if you want someone with experience.

My last GTA position paid $120k CAD, and I'm only seven years out of University.

That said, it's not fair to compare the two- virtual team could mean living in Orillia or Tilsonburg, where cost of living is lower.
