On September 14, 2017, the Ontario Government introduced Bill
154, "An Act to cut unnecessary red tape by enacting one
new Act and making various amendments and repeals," an
omnibus bill that proposes to amend a number of Ontario statutes
with the purported goal of "reduc[ing] regulatory burdens and
practices that cost businesses time and money, while protecting
environmental, health, and worker safety standards."
Bill 154 is relevant to Ontario's franchise industry
stakeholders because it proposes various amendments to
Ontario's franchise legislation, the Arthur Wishart Act
(Franchise Disclosure), 2000.
Our previous e-Communiqué on Bill 154, which has now passed
