Bulletin summary

A Certificate of Property Use was issued to Hughson Business Space (Water St.) Corporation for the property located at 73 Water Street North in the City of Cambridge.

Why consultation isn't required

On April 1, 2020, the Ontario Government made a temporary regulation to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. Ontario Regulation 115/20 exempts all proposals for policies, acts, regulations and instruments from posting requirements under the EBR.

Ontario Regulation 115/20 was revoked on June 15, 2020, however, we are posting this decision as a bulletin as because the proposal was posted on April 14, 2020 while Ontario Regulation 115/20 was in effect.

Although consultation was not required, the ministry did consult with the public on this proposal by posting ERO# 019-1787 for public comment from April 14, 2020 to June 28, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.
