•Allowing municipalities, the power to prescribe the percentage of the land value that should be allocated to the CBC charge will likely pose problems and could make development less viable.
•The province should prescribe the percentage of the land value to be collected for the CBC to ensure regulation. If municipalities have the power to do so their studies can often be swayed to work to the outcome desired. If the province maintains this power, then they can then conduct the appropriate studies to ensure consistency among municipalities.
•Another issue that could arise is uneven distribution of funds to neighbourhoods. Under Section 37, a portion of the funds generated had to remain in the ward where development occurred, with the new CBC charge how can you ensure funds are distributed equally to the city. Will some neighbourhoods become favoured leaving others in need of community benefits?
