Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The new council majority allows McCallum to implement local commitments, including the property tax freeze and business fee waivers. Furthermore, McCallum’s advocacy for major infrastructure projects, such as a SkyTrain to Newton and a new general hospital, depends on the province allocating funds.
