I would like to know where to find the text of the privative clause(s)
for the Ontario Municipal Board. There are over 180 pieces of
legislation which give the OMB its statutory powers. The 3 primary
ones, it seems to me, are: Statutory Powers Procedure Act, Ontario
Municipal Board Act, & Planning Act, 1990.

Do you need the text of all 180 pieces of legislation, or just the
most significant ones?

Hello magtwinkle

The OMB itself states that the three acts you mention are among the
ten most important pieces of legislation relating to their work.  It
describes the statutes in the following list as the ten under which
"most of the Board's work arises".  See:

You can find the text of these laws online:

The Board agrees with you that, technically, another 90 public
statutes and 80 private ones could be considered.  You will find the
text of many of these at:

I hope this is helpful but if anything needs clarifying, please let me
know.
