Ward 5 Coun. Mike Parent introduced a successful motion during Tuesday’s city council meeting for the city to partner with the Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce to investigate ways of streamlining processes for businesses
Complaints about so-called municipal ‘red tape’ make the rounds every election cycle, with last year’s civic election no exception.During Tuesday’s city council meeting, the Ward 5 councillor introduced a successful motion for the city to look at its regulations in hopes of finding efficiencies for the business community.
Parent’s motion calls on the city to partner with the Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce to prepare a report analyzing policies and regulations that could resolve challenges expressed by the local business community, and to “improve service delivery and access to services.” Although supportive of the motion, Ward 10 Coun. Fern Cormier cautioned against making too much out of it. Complaints about so-called red tape often come without important context, he said, citing a scenario in which a developer complains about the city holding up a project due to “red tape.”
“I spit a little bit of coffee each time he says that, because they’re his regulations,” Cormier said, adding that municipalities are “creatures of the province.”
