Thirteen Ontario city mayors have urged Premier Doug Ford to invoke the notwithstanding clause to bypass a court ruling that restricts clearing homeless encampments when shelters are full.
The mayors expressed that utilizing the notwithstanding clause will facilitate effective implementation of much-needed measures to address mental health and homelessness.
Premier Ford encouraged the mayors to formally request the use of the notwithstanding clause, challenging them to demonstrate their commitment to addressing homelessness in their communities.
The collective letter from mayors signifies a bipartisan approach towards tackling the complex issues surrounding homelessness, seeking immediate provincial intervention and support.
