Absurdity

They do currently have the right to kick someone out of a meeting, but can't ban them from future meetings. As someone who has gone to public meetings there are absolutely those who are there to disrupt and agitate more than actually contribute to the democratic process, and some get kicked out of every meeting, or derail it for a long time making a 1 hour meeting take 3 or 4. 90% at least of the people I've seen get kicked out absolutely deserve it, and others were walking the line or known to council and likely to cross the line and waste time.

It isn't many that get kicked out though, most public meetings usually go well unless there's an online crowd that has formed and intent on joining to cause a scene or make a point.

I think at the least they should have the right to ban people who are not in their ward, if you don't have the right to vote there then you are welcome as a guest speaker, but that right should be able to be revoked, too many outside agitators come to some meetings so then locals don't get a chance to speak. Not that outside support shouldn't be heard, but it shouldn't disrupt the locals right to democracy.

I also think those who are always disruptive at meetings should be banned, but council shouldn't hold that right, but an oversight committee that can be impartial made up of people from throughout the province. They need to show that they threaten physical harm, or are overly disruptive in meetings, time is money, and them wasting people's time at these meetings constantly costs taxpayers, especially when meetings need to be extended, or a second meeting scheduled so everyone can be heard.
