"The Ontario government is planning to replace the powerful Ontario Municipal Board with a weaker tribunal as part of a series of major changes to the system that resolves disputes between developers, residents and municipalities in the province."

So the Ontario Government, a Kathleen Wynne Liberal Government I might add, is going to emasculate / dismantle the existing OMB and replace it with something less onerous.

It will be very interesting to see how much of the existing bureaucracy is retained and how much is sent to pasture. Likewise how many Liberal appointees to the OMB will be retained under the new mantle. Perish the thought that Wynne would make any agency more efficient by letting voters (oops employees) go.

My guess is that very little will change - much like the hydro debt retirement being given a new name so that Liberal mouth pieces can say there is no more hydro debt retirement change.
