[41] Bill 56 Original (PDF)
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Currently under the Condominium Act, 1998, the Condominium Management Services Act, 2015, the Delegated Administrative Authorities Act, 2012, the New Home Construction Licensing Act, 2017, the Protection for Owners and Purchasers of New Homes Act, 2017 and the Safety and Consumer Statutes Administration Act, 1996, the Lieutenant Governor in Council can delegate the administration of the Act or certain specified Acts to an administrative authority. In addition, under each of the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act, the Ontario Underground Infrastructure Notification System Act, 2012, the Technical Standards and Safety Act, 2000 and the Vintners Quality Alliance Act, 1999, there is an administrative authority responsible for administering the Act. The Bill deals with all of those administrative authorities. Currently the Minister responsible for administering each Act can appoint one or more members to the board of directors of the administrative authority. The Bill transfers that power to the Lieutenant Governor in Council. The Bill also requires that the Auditor General do an annual audit of the accounts and financial transactions of each administrative authority.
The Bill amends the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act to make administrative authorities institutions that are subject to the Act.
The Bill makes the Ombudsman Act and the disclosure requirements in the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, 1996 applicable to administrative authorities.
