Mayor John Tory’s executive committee voted Thursday to ask the Ontario government to publish advice it’s received from the province’s special adviser on its plan to take over Toronto’s subway. Premier Doug Ford’s government has said the province plans to introduce legislation on the upload by June. The committee also voted to approve spending $2 million to participate in the talks, an expense the city hopes to recoup from the province. The proposal was first introduced at council last month by councillors Joe Cressy and Josh Matlow, neither of whom are on the mayor’s executive. On Thursday the committee voted to send the proposal back to council next week with no recommendation.
