February 17 Toronto Members of Metro Council voted twenty-eight to seven against a request to establish an independent inquiry into the February 5 bath raids.

At the same meeting, council unanimously supported the appointment of a commissioner with authority to deal with citizen complaints against Metropolitan Toronto Police.
