Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Act: Amendment states you don't have to be charged, with an offence, yet the fine is put onto your property taxes for non-compliance of a by-law
Dear Editor
The Administrative Penalties are back! Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Act, is in its second reading. And even though Ontarians have stated they do not want administrative penalties, its in the Bill.
This amendment to the Municipal Act states you don't have to be charged, with an offence, yet the fine is put onto your property taxes for non-compliance of a by-law. So what if a by-law is passed that white trim isn't allowed? You don't get a day in court!
The sections are below...isn't it time to tell this government enough is enough. And why haven't we heard anything about this from the Opposition Parties – where are they???
