DescriptionTORONTO — Ontario's new premier plans to dramatically cut the size of Toronto's city council just months before the fall municipal election, a move he says will boost government efficiency and cut waste.

Doug Ford says his Progressive Conservative government will introduce legislation to cut the number of seats from 47 to 25, aligning city wards with federal ridings.

Ford, a failed Toronto mayoral candidate and single-term city councillor, said he has wanted to make the change since his days at city hall.
