Our successes in securing a New Deal for Toronto, improving access to our waterfront, laying out a bold plan to tackle climate change, revitalizing major infrastructure such as Nathan Phillips Square and Union Station, and keeping our streets and public places clean and beautiful are what make Toronto a city that is liveable, prosperous and provides opportunity for all.
“But, we can't rest on our laurels,” Mayor Miller continued. “One of the things all of the world’s great cities have in common is a strong relationship with their state and federal governments. The most successful communities are those that receive the support they need from the other orders of government in their country, and share the responsibility for building and maintaining a high quality of life. In order to maintain the quality of life that Torontonians expect and deserve, this city needs meaningful partnerships with the federal government to deliver a national transit strategy and further to provide all of Canada's municipalities with a share of revenues that grow with the economy - like the equivalent of one cent of the GST.”
