What will happen to services after Peel Region splits up?
Peel Region is headed for a divorce, but the fate of the services it administers remains unclear, with at least one expert predicting a “dog’s breakfast” scenario rather than a “seamless” split.
“There will be some changes but I hope that they are behind the scenes and behind the curtains and that the changes are seamless to the residents other than I hope, in the long term, there is evidence that this was beneficial on their tax bills,” Crombie said Thursday.The Ford government has said that it will appoint a five-member panel to help oversee the dissolution of Peel Region’s assets and ensure the process is “fair and balanced.
“I think we're into a very difficult transition period and it remains to be seen whether what comes out at the end is going to be as streamlined and I'll call it seamless as what we now have, or a bit of a dog's breakfast,” Myer Siemiatycki, who is a professor emeritus at Toronto Metropolitan University, told CP24.com this week. “Bottom line, I don't think we're headed into true independence of three cities.
