Licensee/Applicant: 1548710 Ontario Inc.
Licence Number: 200726
Notice of Proposal: To REFUSE to remove conditions Dated December 19, 2006
The Deputy Registrar of the Commission has considered the application and the objections and has directed this proposal to refuse to remove the conditions from the licence because:
(a) The Commission has received written objections to the removal of the conditions from the residents of the immediate area of the establishment.
(b) There has been no change in circumstances to justify the removal of the conditions.
(c) The past/present conduct of the applicant (or if a corporation) or its officers or directors, or a shareholder who owns or controls 10% or more of its equity shares, or a person having beneficial interest in the business, or a person having responsibility for the management or operation of the business affords reasonable grounds for belief that its business will not be carried on in accordance with the law and with integrity and honesty.
