OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT, CARRIED OUT BY REGIONAL

DISTRICT BOARDS.

Recommendation 5 THE REGIONAL BOARDS SEOULD BE ADVISED ON
INTER-MUNICIPAL PLANNING BY A TECHNICAL
ADVISORY COMMITTEE MADE UP OF STAFF
REPRESENTATIVES FROM EACH LOCAL GOVERNMENT
AND FROM APPROPRIATE PROVINCIAL MINISTRIES

AND AGENCIES.

Recommendations four and five were viewed as a natural

two. Recommendation four repeats number one and reemphasizes
the “Council of Local Governments” role. Recommendation five
Tepeats the same philosophy on a staff level.

BY REGIONAL BOARDS IN METROPOLITAN ECONOMIC
AREAS TO ENSURE THAT THE REGIONAL INTEREST

This is the same as is presently included in the Municipal Act.
