I can comprehend an intent to prevent frivolous application of heritage designations that may unduly block worthy development.
I ask that the Bill be amended such that:
• meeting a single criterion be sufficient for designation. Many worthy properties may not satisfy a second. And, if we demand two criteria, less affluent elements of society may be disadvantaged in conserving their history.
• more consultation be undertaken with local governments as to the time needed to address the currently listed properties. Moving too quickly may result in heritage loss and increased conflict between local governments and property owners who do not wish their properties to be designated.
