I would guess it just needs council's ratification.
(has Collins been sworn in as an MP yet? Maybe he will not have "officially" vacated his council seat until then, or until it's filled by someone else)
Now we get to see what the market bears. I'm going to wager we see some proposals that are similar height to those in Kitchener, at least for a while -- 40-45 storeys at the tallest, with many more in the 25 to 35 range.
