The year 2022 can be viewed as an important foundational year for the Transform TO Net Zero Strategy's ('the Strategy') new net zero goal, building on the climate change mitigation work implemented to date by the City and its partners. Where 2021 set the stage for what should and must happen in reaching net zero through energy and emissions modelling, 2022 ground tested the realities, provided opportunities for cross-corporate partnerships and started work on priority actions with the intention to support their scaling. Toronto continues to be a leader in global climate action through initiatives such as building one of the world's largest waste energy transfer projects, enabling sustainable building practices through accelerated implementation of the Toronto Green Standard, being the first major North American city to introduce a carbon budget, and by having many actively engaged residents taking action. This report provides an update on progress made in 2022 towards laying the groundwork for achieving the Strategy's greenhouse gas reduction targets and how Toronto's progress steers advancement on the five critical steps that underpin the Strategy's success.

Exhibition Place and City Real Estate staff met with Metrolinx facilities management staff in early October 2022 at their request to tour three potential sites for leasing of office space to align with their transit station completion date for the Ontario Line. Staff from Exhibition Place and City Corporate Real Estate Management ("CREM") has since worked with Metrolinx to negotiate terms and conditions for a new lease for a term of five (5) years to commence on May 6, 2023 and ending on May 5, 2028 with one option to extend for a period of six (6) months and otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in this report (Appendix A). This report is recommending that, subject to obtaining the necessary City of Toronto authorization, the Board approve entering into a new lease with Metrolinx, on the terms and conditions provided in this report.

In 2022, the Province of Ontario introduced Bill 39, Better Municipal Governance Act. The Bill received Royal Assent on December 8, 2022. Bill 39 erodes the basic democratic principle of majority rule, by granting the heads of Council in Toronto and Ottawa the authority to approve City bylaws with only a third of Council’s support. In December 2022, Toronto City Council reaffirmed its commitment to the principle of democracy on which our Procedures By-law is based, that "the majority of members have the right to decide" as per Section 2.2 of the Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 27 - Council Procedures, and requested that all future mayors not exercise any power that allows for motions to be passed with less than 50 percent +1 majority of Council members present ( Item 2023.CC2.3 ). It is critical that the incoming Mayor of Toronto upholds the principles of majority rule that Council has affirmed, and commits to ensuring that all Torontonians can have their voices heard at Council and their views represented in a fair democratic process.

In 2022, the Province of Ontario introduced Bill 3, Strong Mayors, Building Homes Act, 2022. The Bill received Royal Assent on September 8, 2022. This legislation concentrates power in the heads of council in Toronto and Ottawa with the purpose of advancing "provincial priorities". Under Bill 3, the Mayor of Toronto has the authority to perform functions that previously required whole of Council support. The Mayor is also granted a veto authority over decisions and bylaws approved by a majority of Council, provided that the Mayor is of the opinion that Council's decision could potentially interfere with the advancement of a "provincial priority" as defined by the Ontario Government. Bill 3 enables greater provincial control over local Councils and decision-making. The new powers provided to the Heads of Council in Ottawa and Toronto do not include sufficient checks and balances. It is critical that Toronto City Council reaffirm the legislative role of City Council and the fundamental principles of decision-making at City Hall.
