G. Telford questioned whether it would make more sense for an independent
body to review Council behaviour under the Council Conduct Bylaw rather than
Council itself. General Counsel and Executive Director, Legislative Services,
advised that there is no methodology provided for another body to adjudicate
and the Province recommends that local governments pass their own bylaws
to deal with these issues.
