Premier Doug Ford weighs in on possible Niagara amalgamation

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has weighed in on the possibility of amalgamation in the Niagara Region. 

Speaking in Niagara Falls today, Premier Ford says there's a few ways to find efficiencies locally. 

Ford adds that when compared to other areas of Ontario, Niagara has way more councillors per capita.

Ford says that a decision on amalgamation in the Niagara Region will be handled at the regional level, not provincial. 

Last week, Regional Chair Bob Gale sent a letter to Mayors asking their opinions on a four-city and one-city models for Niagara.
