Brampton Seeks Input on Pursuing Criminal Negligence in Rental Fires

In a telephone town hall meeting, Mayor Patrick Brown and council members discussed Brampton’s rental licensing pilot program with residents. The program was paused in January in order to gain more feedback, and aims to address illegal secondary units. The mayor raised the issue of criminal negligence in case of fire fatalities, receiving 77% support from attendees. This informal survey suggests potential further exploration with Peel police.
