In a statement Sunday night, Tory’s deputy chief of staff Don Peat said the Mayor’s office will be reviewing the letter.
Also known as strong mayor legislation,by Municipal Affairs Minister Steve Clark on Wednesday, allowing the mayors of Toronto and Ottawa to pass bylaws aligning with provincial priorities “if more than one-third of council members vote in favour.”
The province has said the changes are necessary to allow the mayors of the Ontario’s big cities to get more housing built. The former mayors, including Art Eggleton and John Sewell, said they were also “fearful” of the “real substantive risks” the city would face from the bill.“We are now in a time when our provincial government is revealing its real agenda for our future. It is a disturbing future. It includes the unwinding of our Greenbelt and the hollowing out of the mandate of Conservation Authorities that were created to protect us from environmental disaster,” the letter reads.
Some councillors have also pushed back on the legislation, including Coun. Josh Matlow and Coun. Gord Perks.
