There are two entities currently named Waterloo, right? The City of Waterloo and the Regional Municipality of Waterloo.
Your concerns here, which are very well articulated, seem like they are based on the assumption that, post-amalgamation the governing entity will be formed from the City of Waterloo. Is that understanding correct? If so, would they still exist if the governing entity is the Regional Municipality of Waterloo which would then have to build out roles, staffing etc and in theory might be able to do so from all the cities and townships?
I am pretty ignorant of the mechanics of amalgamation so this may be a particularly stupid question.
