Hello.

As a member of our local Heritage committee I am writing with some concerns regarding Bill 23.

I do not understand the reasoning behind the proposal to removal of all existing listed properties from the local Heritage Property Register after two years from proclamation.
This would require more work by the local Heritage committee, municipal staff and if the listing needs approval from the local Council. How is this "cutting red tape"?

Also what is the purpose of not allowing formerly listed properties to be blocked from listed for an additional five years?
It is difficult to see how this serve local Heritage conservation or improve access to affordable housing in Ontario?
