[23] Requiring the consent of the owner is not consistent with an overall reading of the Act or its purpose. ... [24] The object of the Act is the conservation and protection of the heritage of Ontario. This may interfere with individual property rights. Accordingly, in requiring the consent of the owner as a pre-condition to designation, the Town placed an unreasonable obstacle on its own discretionary powers, thereby fettering its discretion and aborting the process intended by the Act.
