The timeline to investigate and prepare valid recommendations for hundreds of listed heritage properties is extremely tight and impossible to manage. It is imperative that this deadline be extended to give municipalities the flexibility to do the job right.

Regarding ERO # 019-8738:
I think the proposed recommendations by the Ministry of Citizenship and Multiculturalism (MCM) that addresses non-designated or “listed” properties included on municipal registers is warranted and should be passed.
