He further advised that a second CMC could possibly be scheduled for October 2021, where a defined list of issues, witness statements, and the date of the hearing would be confirmed by the LPAT. A question and answer period ensued between Members of the Committee and Mr. Bigioni regarding: • the possible submission of a revised application by the Pickering Harbour Company Ltd., and the LPAT being the approval authority for the possible revised application with the City having no impact in the decision; • the decision to regard any revised application by the Pickering Harbour Company Ltd. as a revised application rather than a new application being a subjective decision of the LPAT and not the City; • ensuring that the public is kept informed regarding the appeal and whether members of the public would be able to participate in the next CMC, with Mr. Bigioni advising that he would provide this information to Council once he had spoken with outside legal counsel; and, • affirmation that the City had not changed its position in refusing the original application by the Pickering Harbour Company Ltd., with Mr. Bigioni confirming that the City stands behind the direction provided by Council in refusing the application. 6.
