Notable Statements Made in Public Office
- "Mississauga Council is crying for their municipality to be permitted to leave the Region of Peel. They have a plan that can be described as less than stable, that would see some services fragmented back to municipalities, others pushed back up to the Province and still others delivered across the Greater Toronto Area by some kind of service board. They have worked hard to muster a citizens' agenda, but much like a balloon, without the continuous application of heat, the chance of this great cause rising is not great.
