The problem with that is the Province didn't clarify that masks would still be required on transit and taxis until the day after Council voted to keep the bylaw.
Based on the discussions at their meeting 2 weeks ago, one of the main concerns was keeping masks on transit and taxis, and the best way to do that was to keep the full bylaw in place. I think it's possible that if the province had made the decision about transit and taxis earlier, the city might have voted to repeal 2 weeks ago.
