  • Whereas the legislation that abolished the OMB and replaced it with LPAT received unanimous, all party support; and

    Whereas all parties recognized that local governments should have the authority to uphold their provincially approved Official Plans; to uphold their community driven planning; and

    Whereas Bill 108 will once again allow an unelected, unaccountable body to make decisions on how our communities evolve and grow; and

    Whereas Bill 108 seeks to alter or restrict public input and participation by local residents who wish to oppose a local planning application; and

    Whereas on August 21, 2018, Minister Clark once again signed the MOU with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and entered into “...a legally binding agreement recognizing Ontario Municipalities as a mature, accountable order of government.”; and

    Whereas this MOU is “enshrined in law as part of the Municipal Act”, and recognizes that  as “...public policy issues are complex and thus require coordinated responses...the Province endorses the principle of regular consultation between Ontario and municipalities in relation to matters of mutual interest”; and

    Whereas by signing this agreement, the Province made “...a commitment to cooperating with its municipal governments in considering new legislation or regulations that will have a municipal impact”; and

    Whereas Bill 108 will impact 15 different Acts - Cannabis Control Act, 2017; Conservation Authorities Act; Development Charges Act; Education Act; Endangered Species Act, 2007; Environmental Assessment Act; Environmental Protection Act; Labour Relations Act, 1995; Local Planning Appeal Tribunal Act, 2017; Municipal Act, 2001; Occupational Health and Safety Act; Ontario Heritage Act; Ontario Water Resources Act; Planning Act; and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997.

    Now Therefore Be it Hereby Resolved that the City of Richmond Hill opposes Bill 108 which in its current state will have negative consequences on community building and proper planning; and

    Be It Further Resolved that the City of Richmond Hill calls upon the Government of Ontario to halt the legislative advancement of Bill 108 to enable fulsome consultation with Municipalities to ensure that its objectives for sound decision making for housing growth that meets local needs will be reasonably achieved; and

    Be It Further Resolved That a copy of this Motion be sent to the Honourable Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario, The Honourable Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier, the Honourable Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs, the Honourable Andrea Horwath, Leader of the New Democratic Party, and all MPPs in the Province of Ontario; and

    Be It Further Resolved that a copy of this Motion be sent to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and all Ontario municipalities for their consideration.
