If passed, this legislation would transfer responsibility for regional roads and stormwater infrastructure to Brampton, Caledon, and Mississauga by July 1, 2026, or as determined by the Minister. Waste Collection in Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon would also transfer to the cities of Mississauga, Brampton and the Town of Caledon.
