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.
