Pleased to see the Prov. Gov’t listening to municipalities & continuing to engage, all while providing new funding & the tools that are essential as we grow. We know there are more challenges ahead & it will not be a one size fits all approach to achieving our shared goals. 1/2

This isn't just a Toronto issue - its an issue across Ontario & across Canada. @FCM_online & @AMOPolicy have done extensive work on the need for a new municipal funding framework to support future growth. This is an active concern for @RegionWaterloo & our area municipalities.
NEW: In a joint letter to PM @JustinTrudeau, Premier @fordnation & Toronto Mayor @oliviachow urge Ottawa to join its working group about TO finances to “given the significant fiscal room the federal government has available.” #onpoli #cdnpoli
