Transition board invoices Region of Peel $1.5M for work to date on watered-down split

RELATED: Premier Doug Ford faced questions Thursday over his decision to backtrack the dissolution of Peel Region. Global’s Queen’s Park Bureau Chief Colin D’Mello reports – Dec 14, 2023An internal email sent by the Region of Peel’s top bureaucrat and obtained by Global News shows the local government has been sent invoices amounting to $1.5 million for work completed by the Peel Transition Board.

The province previously estimated Livey would make between $240,000 and $480,000, while the other board members would take home between $192,000 and $384,000. A spokesperson for the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Paul Calandra told Global News the Region of Peel must cover all costs incurred by the board in its work.

Several meetings in 2024 have included agenda items titled “Bill 112 provincial efficiencies review update,” where “information explicitly supplied in confidence” is shared in private. “Today we learned that Peel region is quite literally paying the price for Ford’s chaotic rollout and retraction of Peel region dissolution. People in Peel got saddled with a $1.5-million bill and a whole lot of uncertainty, while Ford moves on. Who’s going to pay for the next flip-flop?”

“All other services delivered by the Region of Peel are considered out of scope for the Transition Board at this time,” Calandra wrote.
