Comment
My comment relates to the changes to the regulations (09/06) under the Ontario Heritage Act and is simply this: Regulations under the Act should continue to be regulations under the Legislation Act 2006 in order to prevent hasty changes to the regulations such as the one I am about to describe.
The proposed change to O. Reg. 09/06 requiring a property to meet TWO criteria for designation instead of ONE, makes absolutely no sense. The criteria under O. Reg. 09/06 are meant to be independent criteria for determining if a property has CHVI; requiring that a property have 2X CHVI before it can be designated is arbitrary. This is like saying you can go to the Olympics only if you qualify to compete in two sports. This approach shows a very concerning lack of understanding of how the criteria were even created and how the OHA functions.
