An Ontario MPP's private members' bill received support from Region of Waterloo councillors on Tuesday. The bill would give municipalities the power to remove a council member from a seat when they're found to have violated harassment and violence policies.
The report, prepared for police by consultant KPMG, recommends WRPS could pay for additional officers using budget surpluses – but the full report, including that recommendation, was not released until after the 2023 budget was already approved.
