As you know, the Urban Development Institute (UDI) and its members are well positioned to assist your government in this endeavor. However, we need the province and local governments to take substantive and immediate steps to enable our members to continue to employ British Columbians and build homes and office space. These steps include: • A one-year suspension of any new requirements, fees, charges, taxes and amenity contributions that add costs/delays to projects; • Applying the same property tax reductions and deadline extensions that were announced for commercial land owners to Class 1 residential building sites that are exempt from the Speculation and Vacancy Tax (SVT) and Purpose Built Rental (PBR) buildings; • Applying the SVT exemptions for sites under development and PBR to the Additional School Tax for the next year; • Remove development land and unsold inventory from the Empty Homes Tax for the next year; • Permanently extending the timelines set out in Policy Statements 5 and 6 issued by the Superintendent of Real Estate (pursuant to the Real Estate Development Marketing Act (REDMA)) to allow for an early marketing period of 12 months and a 15-month period to obtain a building permit and satisfactory financing commitment before buyers can unilaterally terminate their pre-sale contracts.

    April 9, 2020 The Honourable John Horgan, Premier Government of British Columbia PO Box 9041, Stn Prov Govt Victoria BC V8W 9E1 Dear Premier Horgan, The Registered Massage Therapists’ Association of British Columbia (RMTBC) is concerned that the Provincial Government's response to the COVID 19 crisis is limited in its ability to address the devastating economic impact of this emergency on Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) in BC. There are over 5,000 RMTs in British Columbia, the overwhelming majority of whom are self-employed. The recent containment efforts announced by the Ministry of Health, the Provincial Medical Health Officer and the College of Massage Therapists of BC which the RMTBC supports as an essential step in ensuring public health, are also resulting in extreme financial hardship to our self-employed members, many of whom do not have access to Employment Insurance. Many of our members are ineligible for the initiatives announced by the Federal Government to support practitioners and clinic owners in BC. The RMTBC urges the government to consider initiatives that will assist RMTs and all self- employed individuals and small business owners in BC in their ability to provide for their families, pay their rent or mortgages and contribute to the tax base. British Columbia’s RMTs play a vital role in providing health services to British Columbians and deliver important services that assist in rehabilitation, improvement in the quality of life for the elderly and alleviate the physical symptoms of depression, stress and anxiety. RMTs help people relieve their musculoskeletal pain in order that they can remain at work longer and continue to enjoy the activities of daily living.

  • Astral Media Inc
    Submission of Astral Media Inc. to the Competition Policy Review Panel January 11, 2008 ASTRAL MEDIA INC. I. Executive Summary • Astral submits that no changes are required to the current investment rules in the broadcasting sector. • The broadcasting legislative and regulatory framework in Canada, including the investment rules applicable to broadcasters, has created the conditions necessary to establish a viable domestic broadcasting industry, providing Canadian radio and television channels through which distinctively Canadian programs as well as content from foreign sources are scheduled, promoted and presented in a manner that meet the needs and preferences of Canadian audiences. The end product is in essence a domestic good geared for domestic consumption to ensure the maintenance of a vibrant Canadian culture and identity. • The objectives of “competition”, investment flows and export markets are not per se the focus of the policy objectives in Canadian broadcasting. • The broadcasting investment rules are key measures that are designed to achieve domestic public policy goals for the broadcasting industry. They have fostered a highly competitive and commercially successful domestic broadcasting sector in Canada which market forces alone could not have brought about. • The current broadcasting rules and policies, including the investment rules applicable to broadcasters, are designed to create a distinct Canadian program rights market, a key condition precedent of a viable economic Canadian broadcasting system. • Under the current rules, the Canadian broadcasting sector continues to provide the world’s broadest programming choices for Canadians and has resulted in a highly competitive broadcasting industry, one of the desired outcomes articulated in the Consultation Paper. • Changes in the investment rules would risk the unraveling of a nuanced and sophisticated legislative and regulatory framework that has been designed to achieve specific domestic outcomes.
