ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — It’s set to be the biggest change in more than 20 years to how communities across the province are guided by legislation.

Second reading of the bill started in the House of Assembly on Wednesday, Nov. 1, and debate is expected to clew up next week. The Municipalities Act made business taxes mandatory, but the new legislation would give towns autonomy over whether or not they want to charge business taxes, and they can pick classes of businesses that they want to tax more or less, Haggie said.

SaltWire asked Haggie what he thought of that change, given the current housing crisis. Haggie said selling a home would be the end of a long process of trying to work with the person who is delinquent on taxes. He said he believes this province is the last in the country to put such a measure into law.
