Rent control could stifle market supply
December 31, 2007
New legislation under consideration in Ontario would allow more flexibility for those seeking elected office, says Windsor public law lawyer Sheila MacKinnon.
Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario’s Municipal Legislation Act, amends several existing acts and passed May 30, 2017, says MacKinnon, managing partner of Shibley Righton LLP’s Windsor office.
One aspect of the bill would provide judges more discretion in whether a school board trustee or municipal councilor should be removed from their seat for a conflict of interest, MacKinnon tells AdvocateDaily.com.
“Currently if a judge finds a school board trustee or a municipal councillor has breached the Municipal Conflicts of Interest Act, they have no real discretion as to what they can do with them,” she says. “Their seat must be vacated.”
