Despite this however there was fear different parts of the municipal system were working against one another Because of this Bob Rae then the Premier of Ontario appointed Anne Golden to head a GTA task force to govern the region's quality of life competitiveness and governance. During this time the Metro Toronto government advocated to the task force the creation of a new GTA authority which would be made up of 21 of the 30 existing municipalities in the GTA at the time the proposal from Metro Toronto would have resulted in 15 new municipalities the City of Mississauga argued consolidation should only take place in such a way the new municipalities would have a population between 400,000 and 800,000 the Town of Markham had similarly advocated municipal consolidation in York Region although it was opposed to complete consolidation into a single municipality Municipal consolidation faced stiff opposition however from smaller communities such as Ajax Milton and the borough of East York the task force's recommendation to eliminate the Metro Toronto government and consolidate its remaining municipalities into an enlarged City of Toronto was completed in 1997 under Mike Harris' Common Sense Revolution. However the task force's recommendation to create a GTA-tier municipality was not taken up by the Harris government fearing a GTA-wide municipality would recreate the inter-municipal competitiveness that was believed to have impaired the former Metro Toronto government Metrolinx was established to oversee public transit development across the Greater Toronto Area Geography, The Toronto Maple Leafs acknowledge an affiliation with 75 inductees of the Hockey Hall of Fame the 75 inductees include 62 former players as well as 13 builders of the sport the Maple Leafs have the greatest number of players inducted in the Hockey Hall of Fame of any NHL team the 13 individuals recognized as builders of the sport include former Maple Leafs broadcasters executives head coaches and other personnel relating to the club's operations Inducted in 2017 Dave Andreychuk was the latest Maple Leafs player to be inducted in the Hockey Hall of Fame In addition to players and builders five broadcasters for the Maple Leafs were also awarded the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award from the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1984 Foster Hewitt a radio broadcaster was awarded the Hall of Fame's inaugural Foster Hewitt Memorial Award an award named after Hewitt Hewitt was already inducted as a builder in the Hall of Fame prior to the award's inception.
