I find some of the content of this bill very objectionable, particularly Schedules 9 and 10. Schedule 9 could clearly lead to abuse by business owners. How is the posting of the Labour Standards Act poster a major administrative issue. It could be a far bigger administrative issue if every employee asks for one, every day.
Municipalities should never have the authority to pass by-laws without public consultation first. This bill gives the impression that they will be allowed to sneak something through. Saying the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing can intervene is just smoke and mirrors. How would they know something has been passed?
Provincial policies and provincial plans have been put in place for reasons, probably a result of problems in the past. If they aren't relevant then change those policies and take the onus away from the municipality to make decisions that don't fit the policy and potentially create a big problem for themselves. At that point I'm sure the province would just wash their hands from at throw it back on the municipality.
