A decision on the possible future independence of cities within Peel Region will hopefully be made "very, very soon," Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Thursday.
Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Steve Clark announced in November that he would appoint facilitators to assess six regional governments, including Peel Region, and look at the best mix of roles between upper-tier and lower-tier municipalities with an eye to expanding "strong mayor" powers beyond Toronto and Ottawa.
Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie has been pushing for her city to become independent, saying it will save her municipality $1 billion over 10 years and make it more efficient. Ford said the goal of any changes would be to ensure the municipalities have equal or better service.
