The Ontario Progressive Conservatives knew they may be blasted about a lack of Indigenous consultation and third-party involvement when they decided to alter the urban boundaries of six municipalities, according to internal documents leaked by the NDP.
“It explains that the changes to many of these urban boundaries were not assessed by municipal staff.” The document then goes through each municipality and outlines potential issues that may be brought up by local communities and the media—as well as how government officials should respond. In all cases, the ministry said that modifications were not shared with Indigenous communities. It also suggests the 30-day engagement period “is likely to be viewed as insufficient.”
Some municipal politicians, the government also notes, approved of their changes either in full or in part. Ontario’s new Housing Minister Paul Calandra has previously said that while the government may have made changes to urban boundaries, it is still up to the municipalities what is built there.
