“You’re going to see those cuts rapidly happen in 2024.”
Toronto Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie is warning that significant cuts to services and state-of-good repair work could be necessary as soon as next year, following the federal government’s refusal to set aside any money in its budget to help cover the city’s COVID-19 shortfall.
“[This] is a budget is very focused on growth. And I understand that we want our country to grow. The problem is Toronto is still very much in the mode of recovery and we need help with recovery,” she said in a press conference on Wednesday morning. The federal government provided the city with funding to offset its COVID-19 losses in both 2020 and 2021 but did not do so last year.
McKelvie has promised cuts to Toronto services if other levels of government don’t come through with budgetary support.
