I don’t want to sound too sceptical, but we have been talking about a number of acts, the Property Assessment and Taxation Act, for some time. I certainly hope this brief profiling of a position is going to allow you to move forward on some of the three or four acts affecting municipalities that you haven’t been able to get to. I’ve only mentioned two; I know there are two or three others that don’t come to mind at the moment. It seems to me that our municipalities deserve to have up-to-date legislation that governs them. In my mind, there ought to be a higher priority for the department on bringing this legislation up to date.
I suspect I’ll get the same answer, but my other question has to do with the hotel levy, which has been talked about again for quite a number of years. It was moving along reasonably nicely, I thought, but then it hit a roadblock because somebody objected somewhere. It went back for further research.
Can I get an update on where this is at? Are we going to see any kind of resolution to this possible hotel levy in this 2015-16 year this summer? Thank you.
