Another uncertainty at City Hall is whether Ford will try again to cut spending sharply in 2020.
While Toronto may accept funding from the Conservative Party to external auditors, the Conservative Party has made it clear that he will consider affecting the efficiency of vulnerable groups rather than core service cuts.

Mayor also thanked Ford.

Clark heard loud and consistent feedback.
"In a conversation with premier Ford this morning, I reiterate Toronto's willingness to work with them to continually seek efficiency for us every year, stating: "Our focus remains on how to achieve these goals without compromising the core services that residents expect. ".
"I hope that this process will be truly collaborative, and we will have time to determine the reasonable amount of efficiency that can be achieved without having to cut down on important services.

Cressy, who chairs the Health Council and leads the public against cutting public health spending, held a series of press conferences at the Town Hall, noting the dangers of reducing funding for social programs provided by municipalities, including school nutrition programs.
"It is clear that the tide of opposition in Ontario and across the political spectrum has created conditions for this reversal," he said . ".
However, it is still unclear whether the province is still committed to next year's cuts, added Cressy.
"In the coming days and weeks, we have to make sure that future cuts will not continue," he said . ".
