That's right! Wow, I forgot that. It's funny that there was no mention of it when it came to the Trillium - I went back through the DA and I didn't see anything mentioned about it at all. I'm not sure if it's still in effect, but if it is - you would think that the Province would've stepped in and said something?

When I read the act it keeps talking about an interim period - that was back in 1991 - it's 2010; that's almost 20 years! Surely the interim period is over by now? If not; I'd say there would be a good legal challenge to the act to say that it should be struck. One of my previous manager's always said - there is no such thing as temporary in planning; it's always permanent.
