Episode Details

Quebecs municipal groups, including the Federation of Municipalities and the Union of Municipalities, have initiated consultations on Bill twenty-two, advocating for additional regulatory exemptions from the government. They oppose the abolition of the double welcome tax, which affects common-law couples splitting up more than a year after purchasing a home together, instead proposing to extend the one-year deadline to five years. Mayors are resisting this change due to the significant revenue it generates for towns, and they fear losing this income, especially if the tax is extended to inherited homes. Furthermore, they are pushing to eliminate a rule requiring expensive personalized notices for land-use bylaws, which can cost up to five hundred thousand dollars for eighteen thousand properties. Lastly, they aim to narrow the French Language Charter, excluding tiny contracts under five thousand dollars starting June first, to prevent a surge in hiring for language checks. The minister has pledged to make adjustments to alleviate the burden.
