GROWING OUR FUTURE TOGETHER… NOVEMBER 2017

We kicked off the market season early this year starting with the Canada 150 Business Luncheon “Celebrating in McKellar”, April 29th, ’17 at the McKellar Community Centre hosted by David Moore (Canada 150 Representative).

The afternoon commenced with a tour of the McKellar Library followed by a delicious lunch prepared by (Jimmy’s Café) + Refreshments by the (Dunchurch Legion). After lunch, local businesses and market vendors enjoyed an informative itinerary of guest speakers followed by the distribution of Certificates by Reeve Peter Hopkins, Councillors Bonnie Beier, Morley Haskim, Mike Kekkonen, Debbie Zulak. Attendees enjoyed Cheese Platters and guest speakers were presented with a

thank you gift both courteous of Middle River Farms. Middle River Farms also donated a beautiful Gift Basket which was won by Vendors; Ewald and Charlene Kauk of Island Retreat Crafts, McKellar.

Pictured above, Island Retreat Crafts. In early March, I was invited to attend the first of four planning meetings for the Ontario 150 McKellar Heritage Regatta; Ontario celebrating 150 years in Canada. It was certainly going to be a busy Summer in McKellar with not one, but two Sesquicentennials (Canada and Ontario) to coordinate alongside the market plus two special markets (Thanksgiving and Christmas).

Next up was the Legacy Project, May 20th- Unveiling of the NEW Township of McKellar Signs. As Market Manager, I was invited to participate during the unveiling and managed to take a few photos along the way. During the trip, the group stopped off at the Hurdville Hall for a meet and greet with the Hon. Tony Clement and enjoyed a Pancake Breakfast prepared by Hurdville Hall Committee.

Name of Legislation

Highlights AMO’s Asks Status

Schedule 26 – Ministry of Revenue Act • Enables MOF to request info about a person

or business entity from a municipal government and enables municipal governments to respond for the purposes of tax compliance, addressing the underground economy and with some limitations to protect privacy.

• To address the underground economy for the purposes of maximizing tax compliance.

Schedule 28 – Municipal Act • Amends sections of the Municipal Act on the

Vacant Unit Rebate Program enabling prescribed local municipalities to impose additional requirements or alternative requirements.

acting on behalf of a municipality • Introduces new procedure for ‘early

resolution meetings between defendant and the prosecutor’

• Requires court houses to be equipped to enable remote attendance of early resolutions meetings

• The legislation introduces changes to fine enforcement. Administrative penalties imposed for defaults will not be affected by payment extensions and there will be a requirement for defaulted fines to be paid in chronological order.

• The amendments enabling the transfer of responsibility for prosecuting Part III cases to municipalities may result in another unfunded mandate for municipal governments.

• Since the legislation requires municipal ‘agreement,’ it is important that a pilot project model not be used to eventually transfer this responsibility onto unwilling municipalities.

• More information needed about the implications and alleged benefits of this change

Name of Legislation

Highlights AMO’s Asks Status

• Enables municipalities by agreement with MAG to prosecute any offence under the Act or the Federal Contraventions Act (eliminating restriction to part 1 and part 2 proceedings)

• AMO has supported efforts to introduce new POA processes that enable minor matters to be resolved outside of trial to minimize costly judicial involvement.

• AMO has also been supportive of using new technologies (remote attendance) to streamline processes and reduce costs

Schedule 45 – Workplace Safety and Insurance Act • The proposed amendments make workplace

mental stress claim provisions retroactive to 2014

• This change would result in increased costs for Ontario’s municipal governments.

• In 2017 and 2018, the WSIB’s Premium rate resulted in decreased rates for many employers with the notable exception of local governments, which saw premiums increase well above inflation.

• The implementation of the WSIB Workplace mental stress program is expected to be challenging for all employers.

The Ontario Legislature will rise on December 14th and will resume on February 13, 2018. We will keep members informed as more information is available.

November 22, 2017

Federal Government Releases National Housing StrategyToday, the federal government announced its much anticipated National HousingStrategy. AMO welcomes the announcement and the government fundingcommitments of $40 billion over ten years.

An overarching national strategy presents the opportunity for all orders ofgovernment to proactively work towards supporting Ontarians, and all people livingin Canada, to meet their immediate needs and future housing aspirations.

It is especially important for Ontario’s municipal governments, as housing is amunicipal responsibility unlike in other provinces and territories. Federal actionsand long-term investments should support municipal governments and DistrictSocial Service Administration Boards to address housing and homelessness in theircommunities. The plan includes investments to both expand affordable housing andas well to repair and renew existing social housing. AMO advocated that bothpriorities be addressed in the strategy.

Key highlights of the strategy are:

Focus on the needs of the most vulnerable through a human-rights-basedapproach to housing;

Introducing legislation within the next year obligating the federal governmentto maintain a National Housing Strategy and a report to Parliament on housingtargets and outcomes;

Establishing goals to:

decrease chronic homelessness by 50%

remove 530,000 families from housing need

invest in construction of 100,000 new affordable homes

Investments will include:

$15.9 billion for a new National Housing Co-investment Fund

$8.6 billion for a new Canada Community Housing Initiative

$4 billion for Canada Housing Benefit, working with provinces andterritories

$2.2 billion to reduce homelessness

$300 in additional funding to address the needs in Canada’s north

$241 million for research, data and demonstrations

$200 million in land transfers to housing providers

Committing that at least 25% of funds go to projects for women, girls andtheir families; and,

Working with Indigenous leaders to co-develop distinctions-based housingstrategies.

AMO will analyze the impact of the strategy with its Affordable Housing andHomelessness Task Force, providing members with relevant updates. Furtherinformation and clarification is needed on the particulars and next steps, especiallyhow municipal governments in Ontario will be engaged. AMO looks forward toworking with both the federal and provincial governments to provide advice on thefinal details and implementation of the strategy; a vitally important initiative toensure housing stability and prosperity for the residents and communities inOntario.

For more information, see the National Housing Strategy, A Place to Call Home, onthe Government of Canada website and the news release by the Canada andMortgage Housing Corporation (CMHC). See also the Government of Ontario’sstatement.

AMO’s full submission to the federal government during the consultations in 2016is found on the AMO website.

It was a great opportunity to show FONOM’s support of the business leaders in our communities. The Board discussed a number of issues including supporting a request to the government to reconsider its approach to tax registration procedures for out of court payments. FONOM received a significant number of resolutions and has since sent a letter to the Minister requesting action. The Board also discussed energy related concerns, broadband services, a pilot project for Indigenous Inter-Professional Primary Care Teams, to name a few. 2018 ROMA Conference – The FONOM Board will be attending the upcoming ROMA conference and has submitted its request to meet with the Premier and members of Cabinet. While FONOM ensures flexibility to include additional matters of concern as they arise, some of the issues of potential discussion include: railway rights-of-way property taxation, fire-medic proposal, public health units, electricity prices, and others. With provincial election year fast approaching, FONOM is looking forward to pressing the government on matters that demand attention and action. 2018-2019 FONOM Membership Fees – Membership invoices have been prepared and will be sent out in the next few weeks to ensure significant time is in place to meet the March 31, 2018 deadline. 2018 FONOM/MMA Northeastern Municipal Conference – Planning is underway for the upcoming annual conference taking place May 9, 10 and 11 in partnership with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and the host community of Parry Sound.

Update on policy matters: Bill 148, Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act FONOM provided a written submission to the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs requesting exemptions be made for municipal employers from the legislation. They included an exemption for municipal employees that are required to be on call to provide public safety and public health services and an exemption for volunteer firefighters for equal pay for equal work provisions of full-time firefighters. FONOM is pleased that the government has recognized the significant implications of these provisions and committed to exempting municipal employers from on-call provisions to ensure the delivery of essential services as well as exempting firefighters from the equal pay for equal work provisions. Bill 160, Strengthening Quality and Accountability for Patients Act, 2017 FONOM provided a written submission to the Standing Committee on General Government focusing on the fire-medic proposal that would see expanded medical services performed by fire fighters who are certified paramedics. FONOM requested that an amendment to the legislation be included that would prevent arbitrators from replicating the pilot projects onto unwilling municipalities, given the current interest arbitration system. Ontario’s Cannabis Act FONOM attended the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services’ Cannabis Legalization: Enforcement Summit. The summit, which was attended by municipalities, Indigenous leaders, law enforcement representatives, public health and representatives from a number of government Ministries, consisted of roundtable discussions which raised several themes including education and training, better clarification about roles and responsibilities and communication, amongst law enforcement, communities, public health and the public. FONOM continues to advocate the need for resources to municipalities, community supports and law enforcement, local say in determining where storefronts will be located and the need for a long-term strategy to work with municipalities on economic development opportunities.

The Weather Network’s application to CRTC FONOM submitted a letter of support to the Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to renew The Weather Network’s broadcasting license to ensure that weather information will remain on basic television where it is available to all subscribers rather than moved to more expensive television packages. Access to weather information is important in understanding local weather forecasts and road conditions to help make safe travel and planning decisions.
