As the annual gathering of Ontario municipal leaders kicks off in Ottawa, calls are growing for the province and feds to play a bigger role in addressing housing, homelessness and addictions issues.
But Colin Best, president of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), said his members are also waiting for a response from the province on a promised municipal code of conduct.
"At last year’s conference, the loudest applause was for a question asking the government when it would deliver on its commitment to a new municipal code of conduct," he said in an interview.
