Retail Business Holidays Act, R.S.O. 1980, Ch. 453, as amended - Mississauga Chinese Cultural Centre 1-1. "Opening" of Public Meeting Committee Chair Currie called the public meeting to order and announced that the meeting was being held pursuant to subsection 4(2) of the Retail Business Holidays Act, R.S.O. 1980, c.453, as amended. He stated that the purpose of the meeting was to hear representations with respect to the proposed by-law to permit retail business establishments located in the Mississauga Chinese Cultural Centre to be open on any holiday. 1-2. Confirmation of Notification of Meeting The Assistant Regional Clerk advised that notice of the public meeting was given in accordance with the Retail Business Holidays Act, R.S.O. 1980, c. 453, as amended, by publication in the Toronto-Star - Neighbours West having general circulation in the Region of Peel; and, the Mississauga News, having general circulation in the City of Mississauga. The notices were published on the following dates: Toronto Star - Neighbours West - May 2, 1991 Mississauga News - May 1, 1991 In addition, although not a requirement of the Retail Business Holidays Act notification of the public meeting was given by prepaid first class mail on May 2, 1991 to the applicant, the Clerk of the City of Mississauga and all parties who previously requested notification of any public meetings under the Retail Business Holidays Act. 1-3. Further Notice Request Committee Chair Currie stated that any person wanting further notice of the future passage of a by-law regarding the Mississauga Chinese Cultural Centre should give their full name, address and postal code to the Clerk prior to leaving the meeting, and that no further notice will be given unless that information was provided. 1-4. Draft By-law Committee Chair Currie emphasized that the proposed by-law being a by- law to permit Retail Business Establishments located in the Mississauga Chinese Centre, 880 Dundas Street East, Mississauga, Ontario to be open on any holiday pursuant to subsection 4(1) of the Retail Business Holidays Act, R.S.O., 1980, chapter 453, as amended was draft and requested the Regional Solicitor to explain the purpose of the proposed by-law; how the by-law would accomplish the stated purpose; the adoption process; and, the likely timing. The Regional Solicitor advised that the proposed by-law would designate the Mississauga Chinese Cultural Centre, as a tourist area and allow the businesses within to open on any holiday without any restriction of hours. The Regional Solicitor advised that the Act permitted Council to adopt a plan setting out the criteria to be considered by it when determining whether a tourist exemption by-law should be passed or not. It was noted that this application was received and recommendations made prior to Council adopting a plan. Therefore this application has proceeded outside the recently adopted plan process. On two separate occasions representatives of the Mississauga Chinese Cultural Centre made presentations to Regional Council regarding their centre, therefore members of committee were informed of the attributes of the centre as a tourist attraction. Committee members questioned whether or not the public meeting should proceed due to the announcement of the Province of Ontario regarding new legislation relating to the Retail Business Holidays Act. The Regional Solicitor assured the committee that the public meeting should proceed because the legislation had not been enacted. In response to a question on further participation by interested parties at a future Regional Council meeting the Solicitor advised that under normal circumstances no further participation would be warranted as the purpose of this public meeting was to hear the view of interested parties on the subject application and proposed by-law. 1-5. Public Participation a) Oral Submissions i) Mr. G. Vanderzande, Executive Director, Fairness for Families (did not attend) ii) Mr. G. de Boer, Idomo Furniture International 1191 Dundas Street East Mississauga, Ontario L4Y 2C3 Mr. G. de Boer representing Idomo Furniture International addressed Committee and voiced opposition to the proposed by-law. The concern of Mr. de Boer was that the Mississauga Chinese Cultural Centre in his opinion was a theme mall, and the proposed by-law, if enacted, would set a precedent which may allow any mall with a theme to receive a tourist exemption. Mr. de Boer also addressed the need for people to have one common pause day per week. Other points of discussion by Committee members included the unique structure; the Chinese theme; and the retail contents of the Centre. In response to a request for a definition of a tourist, the Regional Solicitor advised that one definition of a tourist was an individual who combines recreation and travel of a distance greater than 30 kilometres. In summation Mr. de Boer stressed the importance of needed criteria for a "tourist area" and requested that the Committee recommend deferral of the application and proposed by-law. Committee Chair Currie thanked Mr. de Boer for his presentation. iii) Mr. K. Corporon, United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1000A 61 International Drive Suite 204 Rexdale, Ontario M9W 6K4 Mr. K. Corporon representing the United Foods and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1000A voiced opposition to the proposed by-law. He advised that his Local's goal was to protect the rights of working people and that there was a need for a common pause day. Mr. Corporon stated that the businesses within the Centre were not tourist oriented, nor did they present a unified format and further stated that in his opinion the majority of patrons were local residents. Other points of discussion by Committee members included the clarification of the goods and services offered within the retail businesses; the bazaar atmosphere; the inequities which presently exist under the current legislation between what business are allowed to be open on Sundays and those that are not (ie. recreation, restaurants, theatres etc.); and, the fact that no Local 1000A members worked at the Chinese Centre. In summation Mr. Corporon requested deferral of the application and the proposed by-law. Committee Chair Currie thanked Mr. Corporon for his presentation. iv)Mr. L. Kingdon, Executive Director, People for Sunday Association of Canada Box 457 Islington, Ontario M9A 4X4 Mr. L. Kingdon representing the People for Sunday Association of Canada and the Ontario Committee for the Enforcement of Holiday Closing Laws submitted a four page brief relating to their opposition to the proposed by-law. Mr. Kingdon advised that his Association was extremely disappointed that the Centre opened on Sundays in contravention of the Retail Business Holidays Act without any police charges being laid. In the opinion of the Association, the Centre was nothing other than a mini mall. He continued by saying that the architecture of the mall was the attraction and not the retail businesses inside. Mr. Kingdon also expressed concern for the rights of workers and enforcement problems experienced with such regulatory by-laws. In summation Mr. Kingdon hoped that Council would not submit to the pressure of the application and would act in a positive manner by denying the application for exemption. Committee Chair Currie thanked Mr. Kingdon for his presentation. Additional Oral Submissions v) Mr. H. Sutton United Food and Commercial Workers Local 175/1633 192 Mill Street South Brampton, Ontario L6Y 1T8 Mr. H. Sutton representing United Food and Commercial Workers Local 175/1633 voiced opposition to the proposed by-law. His concern was for the rights of workers and that in his opinion, the Centre should be an area where people went to view the Centre rather than shop. Mr. Sutton requested the Administration and Finance Committee to defer the decision until the Province of Ontario's amending legislation regarding the Retail Business Holidays Act was enacted. Committee Chair Currie thanked Mr. Sutton for his presentation. vi) Mr. D. Gilbert 49 Shudell Avenue Toronto, Ontario M4J 1C7 Mr. D. Gilbert made representation and noted opposition to the proposed by-law. Mr. Gilbert stated in his opinion tourists are not interested in shopping but in enjoying the sights. Committee Chair Currie thanked Mr. Gilbert for his representation. Committee Chair Currie asked if there were any other persons who wished to make oral submissions regarding the proposed by- law. There were none.
b) Written Submissions Committee Chair Currie advised that there were written submissions regarding the proposed by-law printed with the Public Meeting agenda package. They were: i) Mr. J. Terrell, Acting Director, Economic Development Office, City of Mississauga regarding support to the proposed by-law ii) Mr. L. N. Smith regarding opposition to the proposed by-law iii) Mr. H. D. Kitchen, President, Lansing Lumber Mart Ltd. regarding opposition to the proposed by-law Additional Written Submission iv) Mrs. G. Finlayson regarding opposition to the proposed by-law The Committee Chair asked if there were any other persons who wished to present written submissions regarding the proposed by- law.

Committee Chair Currie stated that the matter would be considered by the Administration and Finance Committee later in the afternoon.
