I think the important thing is other municipalities want to know that there is a process. As we recently saw, there is significant power within the government which can be exercised very quickly. Surely it would be of benefit for all concerned to have a better understanding of how and when the government might take this sort of action to dissolve a council. Specifically, what we need is a policy. Will the Minister consider preparing a policy that would set up the process and guidelines to be followed by government officials, when proposing to take action with respect to the removal of a municipal council and/or their administration?
