Are there any updates on Toronto pursuing Charter City status?

The latest was this report earlier this year: https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2024.EX13.9, which included this interesting now-public confidential attachment: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2024/ex/bgrd/backgroundfile-244547.pdf

My read is that it's doable as a single-province amendment that only requires federal + provincial approval, but the stars don't seem to be aligning on allowing for that. The best bet would be a time when non-conservative parties are in power in both Ottawa and at Queen's Park, and that doesn't happen very often.
