Moved by Reeve Rushmere Seconded by Reeve Ford. '0 THAT a letter be sent to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs making the fo110wing comments with respect to proposed legislation on Municipal Conf1ict of Interest: 1. At the present time there are prob1ems in obtaining sufficient people to run for office and the proposed legislation will further discourage quality people from running and will mere1y compound the problem. 2. The requirement to declare assets of the family other than the candidate appears to. be infringing on an area of individuals who are not running for the office. There does not seem to be any rationale why these people shou1d be brought into the process. 3. Information obtained through the declaration of assets, etc., would no doubt be items which some individuals may request. This would appear to be a conflict with the Freedom of Information Legisla- tion whereby individuals must give permission before this information is given out. 4. The proposed legis1ation tends to encourage personal persecution against individuals.' . 5. It appears that if a definition for pecuniary interest was made in the present legislation it would clear up areas that are presently gray and individua1s. would,. be. more <lble to asc.ertain if they did h<lye a conflict or not. 6. The present legislation appears to be adequate, as was indicated only thirty court decisions have been made since 1972 and, as a result, does not appear to be a real serious problem. 7. The present six-year provision [according to Section 9(3)] appe<lrs to be too long and should be reduced somewhat. , , '~ - Carried.
