The City of Toronto regulates the operation of trades and businesses, and related occupations.

Companies or individuals who have been denied a licence by Municipal Licensing & Standards, can request a hearing before the Toronto Licensing Tribunal. The Tribunal also hears cases relating to contraventions of the Licensing Bylaw. It meets on a weekly basis and has the power to grant, refuse, suspend, revoke or place conditions on a licence.
