【星島都市網】安大略省的一些新法律法規將於下個月生效，這將影響全省的市政府，以及居民日常獲得牙科護理的方式。
從資格擴大到市長權力的增加，以下是您需要了解的關鍵變化。
以下是可能於2025年5月生效的新法律、法規和提案。
擴大加拿大牙科保健計劃
聯邦政府正式擴大加拿大牙科保健計劃（CDCP），將數百萬符合條件的加拿大人納入其中。下個月開始將按年齡分組接受申請，5月1日開始接受55至64歲的居民申請。
18歲至34歲居民的申請將於5月15日開放，35歲至54歲居民的申請可於5月29日開始提交。
要符合該計劃的條件，您必須沒有牙科保險，在加拿大提交了個人2024年納稅申報表，調整後的家庭凈收入低於90,000加元，並且是加拿大納稅居民。
保險最早將於 2025 年 6 月 1 日開始生效，與之前的計劃一樣，符合條件的加拿大人將可以通過在線，電話或訪問加拿大服務中心申請。
擴大強大的市長權力
省政府提議，從2025年5月1日起，將強大的市長權力擴大到另外169個城市，以幫助實現該省的優先事項，包括建造更多的住房和交通。
「這一重大擴張反映了安大略省致力於簡化地方治理，並幫助確保市政當局擁有所需的工具，以減少可能阻礙新住房和基礎設施發展的障礙，」該省在新聞稿中寫道。
這些權力將允許擁有六名或六名以上議會成員單一或更低級別市政委員會的負責人支持省市共同的優先事項，其中包括鼓勵批准新住房。
強大的市長權力最初於 2022 年在多倫多推出，現已逐步在全省推行，目前安大略省已有 47 個市鎮擁有這些增強的權力。
市長擁有強大的權力和職責，包括選擇任命市政首席行政官、聘用某些市政部門負責人、提出市政預算、提出某些市政條例以及否決某些條例。
從2025年5月1日起，以下市鎮可以獲得強大的市長權力：
