Aanii/Bonjour:
The expansion of a municipal boundary, without the official Consent of any First Nation impacted by such an expansion, is a violation of the Crown's Duty to Consult and is a breach of the Honour of the Crown.
Failure to obtain official Consent will undoubtedly lead to litigation. Anyone believing that they legally "purchased" a parcel of land or edifice within an illegally expanded municipal boundary risks finding themselves dispossessed through the courts.
The uncertainty this creates for Ontario homebuilders and homebuyers is not acceptable. Secure official Consent from impacted treaty-holding First Nations first, in order to mitigate this risk and to avoid costly legal battles.
