"The bill allows the province to assume the City of Toronto's spot in a tripartite agreement that governs the land, an agreement that is currently between the city, the federal government and the Toronto Port Authority."
"The legislation could also see the province appropriate one-third of the waterfront Little Norway Park, though Sarkaria was not clear on the specific reason for that, other than supporting airport expansion."
"Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow is opposed to what she has called a 'unilateral action to grab city land without consulting Torontonians.'"
Ontario Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria has introduced a bill to allow the province to take over the City of Toronto's role in managing Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. This move is part of a push to expand the airport to accommodate jets. The bill enables the province to join a tripartite agreement currently involving the city, federal government, and Toronto Port Authority. The legislation may also allow the province to appropriate part of Little Norway Park, although specific reasons for this were not clarified. Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow opposes the plan.
