Wheth:ý er we like it or not, hoe said, Northumberlanld-Durham laa part of the, hiniterland of Greater Metropûlitan Toronto, At present, the "internail" POP- ulation of Toronto is appmoxim- ately two million, with an addi- tional lone million living in, the "ex.eral"or hinterland areaS., As Toronto grOws, these sur- roundiiig regiions will unavoid- ably grow anid spread out as weil.

The Whitby Mayor proj ected a setsof sildes, one Df which out- lined fthe reýgionIalgoverninents which will comnletely surround Metro Torronto, on ail sides. The alternative to this sys5teni ot reg- -lolpal goverinrints, he said, would __be for the inner city of Toronto te gradixally expand its boundar- les te envclop the seven million people who will inhabit the arca by the year 2000. Somne of the eider, largecr ciles of the world, suL; ch as New York City, have ev- elVed thec latter type of situation ana have fouind that such huge pàpiilatiolfl5 re rccompletely 'un- governable. S Regional governmeflt is' an effort to provent this kind of sit- uation from. develieping. "It is important that we sce the reglen in this everali. context," ho em- p hasized. Many people i rural and ag- riculturalars have exprossod feare te Newmnan tbat regional- ism may adversely affect tbemn. Newman pointed out to bis Can- adian Club audience that the new region will have more benctits and advantages for the, rural ar- cxi than it will drawbacks. AUl too otten predomiinately rural townships filad tbemnselves uînable to provide adequate, 1ev- els, of services, sueh as scwers, read-Ws oad oven schools. In many casýes -whe-x this loccurs, the town- shiip counýcl will acecpt lwlrg hlou7ing subdivisions in, order to increase their assessment.
