Crombie made the comment following a news conference at Mississauga City Hall, which was held to outline a new housing strategy for the city.It comes on the heels of a report in the Toronto Star which suggested that Crombie was being encouraged by members of the Liberal party to make the jump to provincial politics.
The Toronto Star report cited a senior party official who said that a number of members of the Liberal party have “expressed interest” in the former Liberal MP potentially becoming a candidate for the party’s leadership.Speaking with CP24 following Wednesday afternoon’s press conference, she said that she is “flattered by all the attention” but is “singularly focused” on Mississauga right now.
“You are relentless. I have a great team, I am so proud of my team and the work we are doing here,” she said.She is set to speak at the Ontario Liberal Party's AGM in Hamilton this weekend but told CP24 that the appearance is solely geared towards “speaking about municipal issues and the impact some of the legislation is having on cities.”
