Toronto Mayor John Tory said on Tuesday that urgent joint action by the federal and provincial government to support cities of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) is needed now.

He said he met with the mayors and chairs of the GTHA. “It’s absolutely critical now for the provincial and federal governments to take urgent action to address the dire financial problems being faced by GTHA municipalities," Tory said.

Tory said the GTHA needs the federal and provincial joint financial support, adding it "needs it now."

Mayor Tory also thanked the Canadian National Exhibition board for the "right decision" of cancelling the CNE exhibition this summer, adding that "health must come first" and that now there is an opportunity to plan for a modern CNE in 2021.

Dr. Eileen de Villa, Toronto’s medical officer of health reported 218 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday, bringing the total number of cases in the city to 7,775 as of Monday's afternoon.
