The Ford government is backtracking on its Nov. 4 announcement expanding 12 municipal borders to increase the amount of land available for housing.
The 12 are the regions of York, Peel, Halton, Niagara and Waterloo and the cities of Hamilton, Ottawa, Guelph, Barrie, Peterborough and Belleville and also Wellington County.
The introduction of the new legislation has been particularly welcomed in the Waterloo Region which long ago established firm city boundaries for Kitchener and Waterloo.
