The province says it will not take over the entirety of the Toronto Islands despite the language of its proposed legislation.
The office of Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria says the province will work with the City of Toronto to only use the land needed to expand Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.
Sarkaria introduced a bill last week that would allow the province to take Toronto's spot in a tripartite agreement that governs the land, an accord that is currently between the city, the federal government and the Toronto Port Authority, which is a federal agency.
