BudgetTO 2023
The City Budget draft is launched every January, and many of the services budgeted for may not reflect the will of each resident. Councillor Moise wants to hear from Toronto Centre residents about what your thoughts are, what you support, and what you don’t.
There are three phases to the budget process, including:
- Budget Launch
- Committee Review & Public Deputations
- Approval Phase
The timelines of each phase can be found below. We want to hear from residents before the approval phase and to voice your opinions at the City.
Residents are encouraged to sign up for public deputations on January 17, 2023, and January 18, 2023, to speak to the Budget Committee. However, we recognize this is not always accessible or plausible for residents, so we have included a space for comments on our platform. You can leave your comments below during Phase 2 - Public Deputations after January 10.
Phases
Mayor Veto Period
Update: At the conclusion of the City Council Meeting on February 15th, the Mayor submitted to the Clerk Mayoral Decision 4-2023 giving written notice to shorten the 10-day period for the Mayor to veto an amendment resolution passed by City Council to the proposed budget. The budget is now deemed to be adopted.
The Mayor has up to 10 days to veto any amendments passed by City Council due to the Strong Mayor powers. If they do not exercise that veto, the budget is deemed to be adopted by City Council.
If the Mayor does exercise their veto, City Council has up to 15 days to override the Mayor’s veto with a 2/3rds vote, at which point, the budget is deemed to be adopted by City Council.
