Bill 28, proposed to the Legislature on Tuesday, seeks to amend the section of the Municipal Elections Act that outlines who is allowed to vote to include permanent residents of Canada.
Currently, only Canadian citizens are allowed to vote for the three levels of government.
Permanent residents or landed immigrants have been given permanent status, unlike international students and temporary foreign workers. But they’re not yet citizens of Canada.
