Mississauga Ward 7 Councillor Dipika Damerla, is proposing that Mississauga have its own Attorney General — a move that many believe has been long overdue and could significantly change how legal oversight, accountability, and municipal decisions are handled locally.
What is an Auditor General?
An Auditor General is an independent official who reviews how a government or city spends money and makes decisions. Their role is to ensure transparency, accountability, and proper use of public funds, and to identify waste, risks, or mismanagement — then report those findings to council and the public.
What could this mean for residents?
• Stronger local oversight and accountability
• Faster legal response on city matters
• More independence in handling investigations and governance
• But also — potential new costs, expanded bureaucracy, and questions about jurisdiction
This proposal could shape how decisions are made in Mississauga for years to come, and public input matters.
Do you support Mississauga having its own Attorney General? What concerns or benefits do you see? Should this be decided by council alone, or through broader public consultation?
Stay informed. Ask questions. Get involved. Local decisions have a real impact on our community.
