Mayor Frank Scarpitti
"Scarpitti called on the province to follow through on its promise, made shortly after the provincial election, to work with a special task force including municipal leaders.
‘The fact that the very task force they set out to work with hasn’t been appointed, never met, begs the question, where did this policy get developed?’ Scarpitti said.”
