Consideration Type:: ACTION

Wards:: All

Communications have been submitted on this Item.

Origin

(November 5, 2024) Report from the Mayor

Recommendations

The Mayor recommends that:

1. City Council receive this report for information.

Summary

The recent provincial Bill 212 seeks to overturn the decisions and work of our locally elected Toronto City Council. If passed, the Bill means one government would, at tremendous cost to the taxpayer and without collaboration, undo another government's work.

As Mayor, it is my responsibility to stand up for the decision-making authority of City Council and the expertise of our professional public service which supports that decision-making. As such, I am working with City Staff to review the City's options and will provide recommendations on this item prior to the City Council meeting on November 13, 2024.
