安省政府正式提出法案 大幅削减多伦多议会规模
安省执政进步保守党政府今天（周一）下午正式在省议会引入法案，修订三项法例，以削减多伦多市议员人数至25人，以及取消四个区域议会主席的民选程序，改为以委任方式选出。
本地传媒报道，法案今日进行初读后，最快明日展开二读，预期八月中可以完成修订相关法例。省长道格福特表示，自己将会四出拍门，亲自问省民是否想要更大更臃肿的政府。
反对党新民主党党魁霍沃思今日再次抨击省长道格福特缺乏公众咨询，独断独行推出有关措施，指他在多伦多市长选举未能赢出，于是就在入主省议会后，插手多伦多的事务。

我们先不要说独裁还是不独裁，先说说这件事对老百姓有没有好处？
福特很接地气。
福特改47为25个席位是非常合理的，目前多伦多的联邦议院和安省议员数目基本也是在25个左右。福特这是减人提高效率，否则这么多议员，一点小事就得耗费几年DEBATE还是决定不了，议员天天上班就是互相拆台提反对意见以显示自己的存在价值。看看今天环球邮报的文章写得很接地气：
“Toronto’s government has no party system. That means that each councillor is effectively a party of one – motivated to speak (at length) on every issue to show that she is serving her constituency, whether or not she has anything to say. “Everyone comes with a different tactical view,” Mr. Thompson says. “Every one of us can come up with a new subway plan and every one of them has to be discussed. We can’t form a collective view.”
“The gridlock over public transit is the biggest victim of council’s inefficiency. But countless lesser matters – the casino debate, the garbage debate, the debate over King Street – get bogged down in endless process. Endless reports are commissioned that are never read. Councillors use their positions to stall and bargain for concessions on other issues. Mr. Thompson is convinced that fewer councillors would improve democracy, not diminish it. Doug Ford’s plan is to reduce them to 25 – close to the number of Toronto MPs in Ottawa and MPPs at Queen’s Park – and to adopt the same geographic boundary lines.”
