A
A
A
Reading
being
compelling
in
one
place,
I'm
concerned
that
in
French
that
it
was
translated
as
there
every
few
tablet
here.
If
you
tab
in
my
opinion,
was
a
little
bit
strong,
stronger,
certainly
than
the
English
compelling,
and
discussions
have
taken
place
between
the
committee
coordinator
and
their
language
advisors,
and
they
agree
that
a
more
appropriate
translation
of
compelling
would
be
they
they
fair,
come
come
well.
A
The
committee's
purpose
today
is
pre.
Pre
invested
that
one.
The
committee
will
consider
the
application
for
compliance
audit
of
candidate
doodahs
election
campaign
finances
and
will
decide
whether
it
should
be
granted.
The
application
should
be
granted
or
rejected
it.
If
this
committee
decides
to
grant
an
application
for
a
compliance
audit,
the
City
Clerk's
office,
in
consultation
with
the
committee's
independent
legal
counsel,
will
initiate
a
call
up
against
the
city's
standing
offers
for
audit
services
and
provide
the
committee
with
the
proposals.
A
An
auditor
who
is
appointed
by
the
committee
will
proceed
to
investigate
the
gap,
candidates,
election
campaign
finances
and
will
report
back
to
this
committee.
The
auditor's
investigation
will
be
conducted
independently
and
will
be
carried
out
to
determine
whether
the
candidate
at
issue
has
apparently
contravened
the
provisions
of
the
municipal
elections,
Act
1996
relating
to
election
campaign
finances.
A
The
auditor's
report
will
outline
any
apparent
contradiction,
contravention
sorry
of
the
act
by
the
candidate
once
the
auditor's
report
returns
to
this
committee
at
some
later
date.
This
committee
will
convene
another
meeting
to
consider
the
auditor's
report
and
will,
in
the
in
the
case,
may
be
based
on
the
content
of
the
auditor's
report,
decide
whether
to
commence
a
legal
proceeding
against
the
candidate
for
any
apparent
contradictions
contraventions.
A
So
neither
the
committee
nor
any
auditor
appointed
by
this
committee
have
any
power
to
determine
whether
a
contravention
has
in
fact
occurred
that
Duty
is
left
to
the
court.
Of
course,
a
decision
of
this
committee
that
an
application
should
be
granted
does
not
mean
that
a
contravention
has
occurred.
A
The
committee
is
not
a
court
and
is
not
a
quasi
judicial
tribunal.
The
debates
to
come
before
us
are
not
adversarial.
There
is
no
cross-examination
of
witnesses
contemplated
by
our
rules
or
procedure,
and
there
will
not
be
any
cross-examination
of
witnesses
or
presenters
for
each
application.
Before
the
committee
the
committee
will
hear
from
the
applicant,
the
candidate
are
no
representatives
of
either
party
if
they
are
in
attendance.
All
speakers
have
five
minutes
to
speak
according
to
our
rules,
which
may
and
sometimes
are
extended
and
exceptional
circumstances.
A
A
The
committee
will
then
normally
recess
to
deliberate
and
private.
Before
moving
on
to
the
next
item,
we
have
one
application
on
the
agenda
today.
It's
an
application
for
compliance,
audit
of
the
campaign,
finances
of
candidate
Laura
Duda
for
Innes
Road
for
the
2018
regulatory
election.
I
trust
that
everyone
who
wishes
to
speak
today
is
filled
out
a
request
to
speak
in
the
form
provided
and
submitted
to
the
coordinator.
A
A
B
B
Mr.
chair,
the
applicant
has
made
five
distinct
allegations
in
her
application.
Three
of
those
allegations
relate
to
the
use
of
2014
campaign
materials
during
the
2018
campaign
issue
number
one.
Reference
is
made
to
2014
campaign
signs
seen
in
the
ward
on
public
and
private
property.
The
majority
of
the
candidates,
2014
signs
were
damaged
as
a
result
of
four
years
of
storage
in
the
candidates
shed
and
were
disposed
of.
B
Any
2014
campaign
signs
which
may
have
been
observed
on
public
or
private
property
were
not
placed
with
the
knowledge
or
direction
of
the
candidate
or
her
campaign,
like
any
other
returning
Canada,
the
candidate
had
no
control
over
whether
a
particular
supporter
may
erect
an
old
sign
in
their
possession
without
the
candidates
knowledge.
As
soon
as
the
campaign
learned
of
any
such
sign
being
erected,
it
was
removed
and
disposed
of.
B
Issue
number
two:
the
applicant
suggests
that
volunteers
were
seen
carrying
2014
campaign
material
in
the
photograph
which
the
applicant
refers
to.
It
appears
that
a
volunteer
cut
up
an
old
election
sign.
She
must
have
had
and
used
it
as
a
backer
board
to
make
writing
on
her
walk
sheet
easier
issued.
B
The
campaign
had
no
plans
to
decorate
the
venue.
The
candidate
was
not
aware
and
did
not
request
that
any
2014
signs
be
brought
in
after
the
close
of
polls.
In
any
event,
so
it
wouldn't
matter
to
decorate.
The
candidate
has
subsequently
learned
that
the
volunteer
in
charge
of
signs
made
a
last-minute
decision
after
the
polls
closed
to
bring
a
few
other
surviving
2014
signs
to
the
venue,
as
there
were
otherwise
no
decorations.
B
The
t-shirts
in
question
were
produced
and
brought
to
the
event
without
the
prior
knowledge
or
request
of
the
candidate
or
the
campaign
they
were
produced
by
a
supporter
who
owns
a
promotional
and
printing
business.
The
candidate
later
learned
that
they
were
brought
by
that
individual
in
an
effort
to
convince
the
campaign
to
order
t-shirts
which
it
later
did
and
an
invoice
for
the
t-shirts
purchased,
is
provided
to
you
and
that's
the
document
which
I
have
given
to
you.
No
expense
for
the
shirts
was
incurred
outside
of
the
campaign
period.
B
B
This
video
was
filmed
in
a
field
by
a
friend
of
the
candidate,
a
couple
of
days
prior
to
May
4th
as
a
test
to
see
how
the
candidate
looked
on
film.
It
was
never
intended
to
be
used
at
the
time
it
was
shot
in
one
take
after
filing
her
nomination
papers.
It
was
decided
that
the
informal
look
of
the
video
would
work
and
it
was
uploaded
to
the
web
site
once
that
decision
was
made.
B
Used
after
the
nomination
papers
were
filed.
In
summary,
the
candidate
has
properly
counted
for
all
expenses
incurred
in
her
campaign.
Her
expenses
fell
almost
thirty
five
hundred
dollars
below
her
authorized
campaign,
expense
limit,
and
the
committee
should
put
an
end
to
this
matter
today.
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
subject
any
questions
you
may
have
or
committee
members.
B
You
may
recall
it
similar
to
the
first
matter.
I
appeared
before
this
committee
this
year,
where
a
few
of
counselor
de
Roos
is
campaigning
prior
campaign
signs
were
seen
on
on
that
public
or
private
property.
The
candidate
had
no
knowledge
that
this
was
being
done.
Obviously,
former
supporters
had
signs
in
their
possession
and
put
them
up
as
soon
as
she
learned
of
it.
She
took
them
down
and.
B
It
not
used
that's
right.
The
video
was
shot
a
few
days
before
the
the
nomination
papers
were
filed,
not
tended
to
be
used
at
that
time.
No
contribution
contemplated
for
that
for
that
filming
once
it
was
determined
that
it
was
being
used
and
in
fact,
when
it
was
uploaded
after
nomination
papers
were
filed,
which
is
appropriate,
a
in-kind
donation
value
was
attributed
to
it
and
reflected
in
her
papers.
Is
the
videographer
accompany
to
my
knowledge,
it's
listed
as
a
named
individual.
It's
not
a
company.
The
donations,
I
don't
have
the
name,
but
it's
in
there.
C
C
B
D
D
My
campaign
had
never
wanted
to
use
those
signs
anyways,
because
I
look
much
different
than
when
I
did
in
2014
of
aged
immensely,
but
what
happened
was
is
that
he
had
put
them
out
and
as
soon
as
we
found
out,
they
were
out.
We
had
him,
remove
them
and
weep
replace
them
with
other
signs,
the
new
ones.
So
he
lives
right
on
that
corner.
He
has
a
fence
there,
as
well
as
the
other
image
as
well.
It's
the
same
property.
D
D
A
B
D
So
was
him:
is
he
shoots
as
a
hobby,
I've
known
him
for
many
many
years
when
we
went
and
shot
the
video
I?
Personally,
don't
look
at
in
videos
I,
don't
like
it,
I
don't
enjoy
it.
I,
never
know
what
I'm
going
to
say
said
he
kept
saying:
ok,
we'll
try
it
your
bit.
You've
got
a
good
personality.
Let's
just
do
it
in
a
field
we'll
give
it
a
shot.
So
when
I
realized
that
we
were
going
to
use
it
after
we
had
filed
my
papers
and
I
thought.
Ok,
that's
not
awful!
Didn't!
