At the February 22, 2018 meeting of the Toronto Police Services Board (TPSB) I took some initial steps by introducing a motion to have the results of the Toronto Police Service internal review of these matters, initiated by Chief Saunders, made public as soon as possible. This motion was supported by the Chief and approved by the TPSB. Chief Saunders has been working with provincial officials to explore the possibility of the Government of Ontario holding a public inquiry into the McArthur case, which I support. Legal counsel and others will have to determine the timing of such a public inquiry relative to a paramount requirement not to jeopardize ongoing investigations and/or subsequent judicial proceedings. …/2 - 2 - But since the February 2018 meeting, the list of unanswered questions has grown. I strongly believe that there is work we can and should begin now in the cause of an open and transparent review. This is why I called for an independent external review into systemic concerns of missing persons investigations and indicated I would be moving a motion to that effect at the Board's upcoming meeting on March 22, 2018. Chief Saunders is actively supportive of this proposal. Accordingly, the motion is as follows: 1. That the TPSB Chair report to the April 2018 meeting on the composition of a working group mandated to advise the TPSB with respect to structural and process options for an independent external review or reviews. The working group should consist of not more than 4 members including a member of the TPSB as well as 3 external members. In order to identify the three external members, the Chair will consult the community including: organizations which work with sex workers, harm reduction and homeless populations, and groups representing Indigenous people and LGBTQ communities, including the Alliance for South Asian AIDS Prevention. 2. That the working group report to the TPSB at its May 2018 public meeting. Its report should include: a. Identifying the best possible form of such an external review or reviews, including one commissioned by the Board, for example, and/or one conducted by a third party, such as the Ontario Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD). b. Discussion with respect to the possible terms of references, including: i. Toronto Police Services practices and actions related to past missing persons investigations, subject to any legal restrictions; ii. TPSB policies, TPS procedures, protocols, training and organizational structures related to missing persons investigations, which will not include any information or discussion of the McArthur investigation and possible trial proceedings; iii. Any systemic concerns, especially those which related to bias against people based on protected grounds outlined in the Ontario Human Rights Code; and iv. National and international best practices into missing persons investigations. c. Anticipated costs of such a review and timelines associated therewith. The safety of all Toronto residents is my primary responsibility, and I believe that building up and maintaining the trust of all of our communities is paramount to the success of the Toronto Police Service overall and the people who serve us. …/3 - 3 - Many of these steps have been recommended by representatives of the LGBTQ communities and I thank them for their leadership, strength, collaboration, understanding and wise counsel during the difficult times experienced to date. Sincerely, John Tory Mayor of Toronto Toronto Police Services Board Report January 16, 2018 To: Chair and Members Toronto Police Services Board From: Mark Saunders Chief of Police Subject: Organizational Chart Recommendation(s): It is recommended that that the Toronto Police Services Board (Board) approve the new organizational chart for the Toronto Police Service (Service). Financial Implications: There are no financial implications relating to the recommendation contained within this report. The restructuring reflected in this report will result in the realignment of various existing positions and units. The Service will accommodate any costs related to the restructuring within the 2018 Operating Budget and the 2018-2027 Capital Program. Background / Purpose: At its meeting on January 25, 2001, the Board requested that all organizational charts be submitted on an annual basis (Min. No. P5/01 refers). At its meeting on February 23, 2017, an annual report was submitted to advise the Board that there were no changes to the organizational

  • THE FALSE PANACEA of CITY CHARTERS? a POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE on the CASE of TORONTO Andrew Sancton
    Volume 9 • Issue 3 • January 2016 THE FALSE PANACEA OF CITY CHARTERS? A POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE CASE OF TORONTO Andrew Sancton SUMMARY Toronto is unlike any other city, as its local boosters will not hesitate to point out. That was the basis, after all, of the “charter movement” that demanded special rights for a mega-city that the movement’s backers insisted was so vital that it even warranted a status similar to that of an entire province. Their efforts culminated in the province’s passage in 2006 of the City of Toronto Act, which appeared on its face to grant the metropolis the power it believed it required and merited. In reality, the Ontario government may have actually set Toronto back, leaving it more at the mercy of provincial power than other smaller municipalities. The few additional taxation powers that were granted by the ostensible Toronto “charter” — the City of Toronto Act — are, in reality, still overseen by the province, which retains the right to limit those revenue tools if it considers it “desirable in the provincial interest to do so.” But while Toronto may have been given just a small number of revenue tools, which it has used only sparingly, and the use of those tools is ultimately decided by Queen’s Park, their very existence has given the province licence to sidestep the city’s calls for more funding. The provincial Liberals have, in the past, insisted that Toronto make use of its own taxes before it demands more provincial funds. Meanwhile, the City of Toronto Act did nothing to curtail the power of the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).

  • Weak Mayor’ System?
    Does Canada have a ‘weak mayor’ system? Paper prepared for the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA) Ryerson University – Toronto, Ontario Working draft – for discussion Please do not cite without author’s permission Kate Graham, PhD Candidate Political Science Department Western University [email protected] May 2017 KATE GRAHAM | Page 2 Introduction1 In every Canadian city, the mayor is an important figure. Mayors lead elected councils, serve as chief executives of municipal corporations, and are generally the most well known local officials. Big city mayors are directly elected by more people than any other federal or provincial politician in Canada.2 In times of celebration and crisis, mayors are the voices of their cities on the provincial, national and international stage. They are praised for their communities’ successes and blamed for their failures. In many ways, the mayor is “the living symbol of [their] city” (Ruchelman 1969, 4). Despite the significance of the position, remarkably little is known about the role of Canadian mayors. The responsibilities of mayors in Canada are “vague” (Lightbody 2006, 156) and “generally quite unclear” (Sancton 1994, 175). There is no ‘job description’ for mayors; in fact, there are more than 50 pieces of provincial legislation in Canada prescribing duties of mayors, not including municipal bylaws and policies. A surprisingly small volume of literature exists on the topic. To date, there has not been a comprehensive study of mayors in Canada, and foundational questions about the role and the degree to which it is equipped to provide leadership in Canada’s cities remain unanswered.

    Harbourfront Community Association Station A, Box 144, Toronto, ON. M5W 1A2 Nov. 18,2018 For: Marc Garneau, Minister of Transport Re: Port Authority - Modernization Review I understand there is a Federal Port Authority Modernization Review, and I would like to contribute information relating to Toronto Port Authority Governance. I should say, I worked for Transport Canada, when Otto Lang was Minister of Transport. I had the opportunity of working there during the development of the Canada Marine Act. In the Marine Act, the Port Authority system was designed to reduce federal expenses of subsidizing port authorities. The theory was that Federal Port Authorities could organize as independent businesses, with their own financing, and self-generated cash flow. This all sounds good in theory, but it has created problems in Toronto, with the Toronto Port Authority, now Ports Toronto, operating like an independent city state, with federal powers that make it more powerful than the city which provides its cash flow. I moved to Toronto, around the time the Federal Port Authority system was set up, and have witnessed many problems with having a federal port authority in Toronto. The problem starts with the fact that Toronto is not a busy port with sufficient revenue to finance port authority salaries and operations. When the millennium began, Toronto had a powerful federal port authority, with very little to do, and no money to do anything. In its first phase, with the leadership of Henry Pankratz and Lisa Raitt, Toronto Port Authority became famous for lawsuits, as a way of paying their salaries.
