Councillor Peter McGuire wants things sped up when it comes to legislation on dealing with derelict buildings.
According to the latest update from the province, the Department of Local Government plans to hold workshops with municipalities, including one in Saint John, to explore legislation on derelict buildings in early 2011.
McGuire says he wants a more specific and quicker timeline.
He says he will speak with the province in hopes of speeding things up and adds the city built the By-law so all they need is approval from the province.
