Submission – OLG Reforms to the Model Code of Meeting Practice

Home Campaigns and Submissions Submission – OLG Reforms to the Model Code of Meeting Practice

The draft Model Meeting Code removes provisions relating to pre-meeting briefing sessions, which in effect, should still allow councils to set their own rules regarding pre-meeting briefings. We do not support the express prohibition of closed briefing sessions for councillors, as this will likely result in councillors making less well-informed decisions and increase the deferral of reports for further information.
