The Canadian Press is reporting that the Premier has instructed his staff to look into legislation to reverse the decision of city council.  From the article:

 

“MacDonald, who has been pushing for more prime office space to accommodate a financial sector in the city’s downtown, said the decision was unacceptable.

The premier was also critical of the application being dealt with by an outgoing council after last Saturday’s municipal election.

He said the vote sends the wrong message to business.”
