The region in question is what used to be known as the Golden Horseshoe and reaches north to Barrie,

Its 6.6 million residents pay an average cost of $2,800/year per household to deal with the daily grind. It's holding back an estimated $130 billion in economic growth, and stifling the creation of over 80,000 jobs.
The region in question jobs on cruise ships is what used to be known as the Golden Horseshoe and reaches north to Barrie, halfway around Lake Simcoe, west to Kitchener-Waterloo, southward around the end of Lake Ontario into Niagara and eastward through Durham to Bowmanville; it's the heart of the Canadian economy, even today.

Metrolinx can only recommend to the provincial and municipal governments how to pay for it; it does not have its own funding sources, or ability to assess taxes. To help do that, it's been holding regional consultations (nine of 12 planned sessions are now complete) in preparation of its recommendations in June 1st report.
