Dear Sir or Madam:

On behalf of the City of Hamilton, I am pleased to provide this letter as Hamilton’s submission on Bill 13.

City staff are supportive of the changes to the Planning Act proposed through Bill 13. We ask that the Province clarify if the notice and statutory public meeting requirements will continue to apply to by-laws passed under Section 34 that have been delegated, and that if they will not apply, that Bill 13 be amended to reflect this.

City staff will be taking a report to Planning Committee on November 16, 2021 and to Council on November 24, 2021 outlining our submission. Council’s position will be forwarded to the Province once it has been ratified.

We look forward to seeing the results of the consultation on Bill 13. City staff would be pleased to meet with you to discuss these comments in greater detail.
