AMO Submission: Bill 218, Supporting Ontario’s Recovery and Municipal Elections Act, 2020

AMO provided a submission to the Standing Committee on Justice Policy of the Ontario Legislative Assembly. The Standing Committee is considering Bill 218 which provides liability protection for good faith actions to protect Ontarians from the COVID-19 and makes changes to the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 (MEA). AMO is strongly supportive of the liability protection provisions in the Bill but has raised significant and principled concerns regarding the MEA changes.
