Ontario Premier Doug Ford has roundly rebuffed calls from the mayor of Markham, Ont., to consolidate the 10 municipal governments of York Region into one city.Mayor Frank Scarpitti has argued that the move would bring significant savings and streamline governance.Scarpitti notes that the province recently passed a law to break up the upper tier municipality of Peel Region, so he says there is no rationale to maintain the status quo in York Region.
