The bill has already had a third reading (today November 23). It is not acceptable that it is still proceeding during the commenting period! changes still must be made to this legislation. I have serious concerns about the sweeping changes.
Exemptions from the Standards and Guidelines for prescribed public bodies must be specific not 'could potentially advance'.... Also as this legislation is intended to assist with building housing the only items listed are housing and long term care. Not transit, not other infrastructure and not other priorities. The proposed exemption is far too broad as currently drafted.

Throughout the proposed bill the words 'residential unit' are used however this term is not defined. The term must be defined especially since Bill 23 removed definitions of dwelling unit and the term 'residential unit' appears to be replacing dwelling unit.

Proposed changes to the Development Charges appear to remove the ability of a municipality to charge development charges for all residential units since Attainable residential unit as currently defined is everything but an affordable unit. Is that really the intent?? If not attainable residential unit must be more specifically defined.

The removal of Planning authority from upper tier municipalities will significantly impact small local municipalities who do not have resources to address all of the planning functions currently being undertaken by the Upper Tier municipalities. Will these functions be uploaded to the Province??
