to
have
this

to
command
and
publicly
thank

to
the
people
of
Ottawa.
Two
years
ago,
Rene
was
nominated

a
city
manager's
Award
of
Excellence,
and
occurred
to
me
that
the
nomination

capsulated
his
unique
achievements
Rene,
was
nominated
in
the
category
of
turning
ideas
into
results,
using

benefit
the
City

Ottawa
Rene's,
advanced
knowledge
of
tax
legislation
and
tax
calculations
led
to
significant
changes
at
both.
F
The
municipal
and
provincial
levels
of
government
is
distinguished
himself
in
a
manner
that
benefits
not
only
the
City
of
Ottawa
but
all
taxpayers
in
the
province
of
Ontario.
Thank
you.
An
a
for
your
dedication
and
service
to
the
corporation
in
to
the
residents
of
Ottawa.
You

deserving
recipient
of
this
award
and
your
dedicated
professionalism
has
made
an
important
impact
on
behalf
of
the
entire
city
of
Ottawa.
Congratulations
on
this
award
I'd
now
ask
Marion
similar
to
say
a
few
words.
H
Thank
You
mayor
Watson
and
good
morning,
everyone
Bonjour
à
tous.
It's
a
real
pleasure
to
be
here
this
morning
to
recognize
the
contributions
and
achieve
and
of
Renny
Bassam
I'd
like
to
thank
the
committee
members
for
allowing
us
this
time
to
acknowledge
the
contributions
of
such
an
exceptional
employee.
This
is
Renee's
30th
year
with
the
city
and
he'll
be
retiring.
This
month,
many's
contributions,
while
not
found
on
the
front
pages
of
the
newspaper,
have
been
truly
significant
and
are
worthy
of
our
appreciation
and
acknowledgement.
H
Rennie
is
known
for
his
ability
to
understand
complex
property
tax
legislation
and
the
various
prescribed
calculations
to
see
the
resulting
tax
impact
on
the
city,
the
class
and
on
the
individual
account
it
is.
It
is
truly
a
unique
individual
who
can
work
at
the
lowest
level
of
detail,
but
still
see
how
it
all
looks
at
the
highest
level.
This
talent
has
resulted
in
significant
and
enduring
contributions
to
the
city
of
Ottawa
and
Rene's.
Contributions
are
actually
insurance
rind
in
provincial
regulations.
H
The
resulting
calls
to
residents
to
flag
unusual
consumption
patterns
is
resulting
in
savings
of
more
than
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
year
for
those
affected
residents.
The
corporation
is
grateful
to
call
such
an
exceptional
leader,
one

its
own
level,

a
constant
appeal,
a

Just
a
few
words
of

for
all

a
staff

for
the
high

I've
been
honored
and
it
was
a
privilege
to
work
with
such
great
people
in
such
great
bosses
all
throughout
the
years.
I
don't
think
I've
had
ever
had
one
day
where
I
came
in
without
having
that
feeling.

F
H
F
A
A
You
very
much
mr.
chair
and,
as
you
stated,
just
moving
it
because
there's
a
work
to
be
done
between
now
and
council,
whereas
staff
who've
advised
they
need
more
time
to
review
the
recommendations
and
approach
in
the
report,
the
council
needs
more
information,
provided,
whereas
staff
have
advised
that,
based
on
the
additional
information,
the
recommendations
will
need
to
be
amended,
whereas
the
report
will
not
rise
to
City
Council
until
February
24th
and
the
ward
councillor
will
be
continuing
to
work
staff.
A
Go
find
the
recommendations,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
Finance
and
Economic
Development
Committee
refer
item
14.
The
councilors
report
entitled
nuisance
mosquito
control
program
and
mosquito
research
program,
especially
the
Alevi
to
the
City
Council
meeting
of
February
24th
without
2016,
without
recommendation.
So.
F
I
We're
referring
it
to
Council
without
a
decision
with
at
this
point.
What
are
the
chances
that
we're
going
to
have
a
large
number
of
responses
between
now
and
February
24th
I
understand
you
sent
at
11,000
letters
on
it.
I
would
like
to
follow
the
city's
process
and
local
improvement,
which
would
mean
you
would
need
about
8,000
responses.
That
would
say
yes,
any
chance.
We're
gonna
get
that
no.
They
know.
H
J
J
F
H
F
So
we'll
have
the
results
before
the
council
mean
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
believe
we're
deferring
this?
Okay,
so
on
counts
or
Taylor's
motion
carry
that
update,
I'll,
see
okay,
so
we're
gonna
go
back
to
the
first
item
that
we
have
people
to
speak
on
just
councillor.
Leaper.
Are
your
questions
relatively
brief,
or
is
it
more
details?
I,
don't
unless
you're
prepared
to
stay
for
the
this
item,
are
you
gonna
stay
here,
anyways.
F
Okay,
if
you're
staying
well
we'll
get
to
the
public
first,
because
there's
members
of
the
public
here
so
we're
gonna
have
a
staff.
Presentations
at
Beshear
are
wonderful.
Director
of
development,
economic
development
and
innovation.
Has
a
staff
presentation,
hold
your
questions
to
staff,
and
then
we
have
seven
people
who
wish
to
speak
to
this
item,
beginning
with
Andrew
Peck.
So
mr.
Bashir
the
floor
is
yours,
Thank.
M
M
C
M
To
give
you
a
very
quick
overview
of
the
retail
business
holiday
act
in
the
exemption
criteria,
very
briefly,
touch
on
the
different
legislation
that
applied
towards
this
talk
about
the
exemption
by
law
application
process,
as
well
as
the
DBIA
application
itself.
And
then
we
will
cover
the
recommendation
that
the
staff
are
bringing
in
front
of
you.
N
So
the
retail
business
holiday
act,
our
BHA
is
provincial
legislation
that
prohibits
retail
businesses
in
Ontario,
from
opening
their
doors
to
the
public
or
nine
specified
days
each
year,
and
the
purpose
of
the
legislation
is
to
strike
the
balance
between
allowing
consumers
to
have
access
to
these
retail
establishments,
but
also
providing
common
days
of
pause
to
employees.
City
Council's
may
pass
an
exemption
by
law
to
allow
businesses
or
business
areas
to
remain
open
for
the
maintenance
or
development
of
tourism.
N
It
should
a
business
area
wish
to
apply
for
an
exemption.
The
following
criteria
needs
to
be
met,
so
all
the
businesses
within
the
area
must
be
located
within
two
kilometres
of
a
tourist
attraction
and
at
least
25%
of
the
retail
establishments
must
be
directly
associated
with
a
tourist
attraction
or
rely
on
tour
visiting
the
tourist
attraction
for
business
on
the
holidays
under
the
Act.
A
tourist
attraction
can
include
natural
or
outdoor
recreational,
historical,
cultural
and
multicultural
or
educational
attractions.
N
So
very
briefly,
the
Employment,
Standards,
Act
or
ESA
is
provincial
legislation
that
sets
up
minimum
standards
for
employers
and
employee
rights
in
Ontario
generally,
most
employees
whose
workplaces
are
governed
by
the
ESA
are
entitled
to
a
day
off
with
pay
on
a
holiday
prescribed
in
the
AR
BHA.
Conversely,
an
employee
may
also
agree
to
work
on
on
a
holiday.
If
that
particular
business
is
allowed
to
remain
open.
The
Municipal
Act
allows
a
local
municipality
to
pass
a
bylaw
to
require
a
retail
business
establishment
to
be
closed
to
the
public.
At
any
time.
N
In
the
city
we
have
such
a
bylaw
on
Remembrance,
Day
or
retail.
Businesses
are
required
to
be
closed
before
noon.
There's
currently,
no
opt-out
provisions
for
municipalities
in
respect
of
the
rbh,
a
degree
that
is
applying
and
seeking
an
exemption
for
the
following
holidays:
New,
Year's,
Day
family
day
Victoria,
Day,
Canada,
Day,
Labor,
Day,
Thanksgiving,
Day
and
any
other
public
holiday
declared
to
be
a
holiday
for
the
purposes
of
the
Act,
and
this
is
consistent
with
the
existing
bylaws
in
the
City
of
Ottawa.
N
It
indicates
that
50,
57
percent
of
the
retail
businesses
in
the
area
are
directly
associated
with
the
tourist
attraction
or
they
rely
on
tourists
visiting
the
attraction
for
business,
so
this
exceeds
that
minimum
standard
criteria
of
25
percent.
Additionally,
information
was
provided
in
the
application
to
demonstrate
the
Glebe
retailers
rely
on
tourists
and
visitors
to
the
area
for
business,
and
some
of
those
are
highlighted
on
this
slide.
77%
of
the
surveyed
glebe
businesses
indicated
at
30
percent
of
their
sales
are
attributed
to
visitors
and
tourists.
N
22
percent
of
individuals

M
Thank
You
Krista,
and
so
with
that.
The
recommendations
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
are
that
we
believe
that
the
conditions
set
out
in
the
act
are
met
with
the
application
that
we
have
and
the
recommendation
is
for
city
council
fedko
to
approve
the
inaction
of
the
of
the
our
BHA
onto
the
Glee
Lee
bie
area.
F
Great
thank
you.
So
we
have
seven
speakers
so
we'll
ask
members
of
the
public
who
have
signed
up
if
they
could
come
to
this
seat
here,
which
says
public
delegation.
Is
that
against
your
pubic?
You
have
five
minutes
and
we'll
ask
Andrew,
Peck
executive
director
of
The
Glee
BIA
to
come
forward
and
followed
by
Andrew
with
Sean
McKenney
president
of
the
Ottawa
District
Labor
Council,
so
Andrew
welcome
to
fedko,
and
you
have
five
minutes
floor.
Is
yours.
J
Good
morning,
everyone
on
behalf
of
the
deep
Business
Improvement
area
and
it's
more
than
350
members.
I,
would
like
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
our
recent
application
for
an
exemption
from
the
retail
business
holidays.
Act
I
believe
that
we've
made
a
compelling
case
for
your
serious
consideration
and
I
look
forward
to
today's
discussion.
J
It
is
made
us
think
about
the
importance
of
our
families
and
our
community,
the
rights
of
employees
and
the
obligations
of
our
employers,
the
fairness
of
why
one
area
might
be
able
to
remain
open
on
a
common
pause
day,
while
another
cannot
why
one
type
of
business
can
remain
open,
while
another
cannot
hair
attitudes
towards
tourism.
More
generally,
but
most
importantly,
it
is
spurred
a
conversation
about
how
to
maintain
and
preserve
the
health
and
vitality
of
our
downtown's
and
our
Main
streets
that
are,
in
many
ways
the
very
heart
of
our
communities.
J
Well,
these
are
all
very
interesting
discussions.
I
believe
that
the
decision
to
allow
our
catchman
area
to
remain
open
on
a
handful
of
common
pause
days
rests
on
a
very
simple
question:
do
we
meet
the
criteria
has
set
out
in
the
retail
business
holidays,
Act
and
I?
Believe?
The
answer
is
yes,
as
our
obligation
demonstrates,
the
gleam
contributes
to
the
Ottawa
tourism
economy
and,
as
you
know,
includes
surrounded
by
the
Rideau
Canal
steps
away
from
museum
nature,
it's
home
to
City
marks
such
as
the
operating
pavilion.
J
The
horticulture
baton,
as
well
as
a
new
world-class
sports
entertainment
facility.
Td
Place
Lansdowne
in
particular,
is
a
tourism
magnate
and
it
presents
an
extraordinary
opportunity
for
community
economic
development.
The
Greve
is
also
benefited
from
joint
programs
and
partnerships
with
Winterlude
tulip
festival,
city,
folk,
Marvis,
red
blocks
and
fewer
games
and
more
it's
no
wonder
the
visitors
to
Ottawa
seek
information
about
the
Glebe
and
Lansdowne
they're
planning
the
visit
here
and,
let's
not
forget
the
rich
history
of
the
area,
a
shared
history
of
a
world-class
capital.
They
were
all
proud
of
today.
J
Our
business
is
not
only
benefit
from
the
traffic
and
sales
associated
with
these
key
attractions
and
events,
but
they
rely
on
this
traffic
in
order
to
operate
sustainable
enterprises.
Some
great
businesses,
many
in
fact
already
open
on
common
cause
days,
thanks
to
the
built-in
criteria
already
outlined
in
the
retail
business
holidays
act.
What
we're
requesting
is
an
area
wide
exemption
to
fully
maximize
our
contribution
to
the
tourist
economy
and
to
support
a
full
visitor
experience.
J
Obtaining
an
exemption
would
also
mitigate
the
downside
risks
associated
with
the
changing
face
of
retail,
which
there's
many
and
to
take
advantage
of
the
upcoming
celebration
of
Canada's
150th
and
allo
Canadian
dollar.
We
presented
letters
of
support
from
Ottawa
tourism,
the
Ottawa
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
a
hundred
three
businesses.
We
have
consulted
widely
with
our
members
and
the
community
in
a
thoughtful
and
transparent
way.
J
We
have
took
the
initiative
to
reach
out
to
those
most
concerned
about
what
the
impact
might
be
on
employees,
to
explain
the
motivation
behind
their
efforts
and
to
illustrate
the
protection
offered
by
the
Employment
Standards
Act.
We've
also
made
ourselves
available
to
the
media
in
order
to
inform
all
of
our
citizens
on
this
issue
and
to
provide
clarity
on
what
we're
doing.
Acquiring
total
support
is
almost
impossible,
but
on
this
effort
we've
been
pretty
close,
should
an
exemption
be
granted
is
possible
that
some
store
owners
may
opt
to
remain
closed.
At
least
initially.
J
However,
there
is
almost
universal
agreement
that
this
exemption
would
provide
our
retailers
with
the
ability
to
determine
what
makes
sense
for
their
customers
and
staff
teams
and
would
give
them
the
flexibility
and
the
opportunity
to
choose
for
themselves
how
best
to
harness
valuable
foot
traffic.
When
it's
there,
our
area
is
going
through
an
exciting
transformation.
J
We
are
located
in
the
heart
of
a
city
close
to
many
attractions,
there's
a
buzz
and
an
energy
palpable
to
all
those
who
come
shop,
dine
catch,
show
or
watch
a
game
and
of
the
ten
and
a
half
million
people
who
come
to
Iowa
each
year.
This
includes
same-day
visitors,
one
little
many
want
to
experience.
The
city
is
a
local
and
we
are
local
with
an
exemption.
J
We
can
contribute
even
more
to
the
visitor
economy
and
the
national
capital
experience
overall,
when
I
ask
of
you
today
is
to
grant
us
an
exemption
so
that
our
retailers
can
serve
so
they
can
compete,
and
so
they
can
survive.
Many
thanks
for
your
time.
Special
thanks
to
the
city,
the
staff
of
the
City
of
Ottawa
for
their
tremendous
support
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
Thank
you
very
much
great.
E
Morning,
thanks
for
coming
down,
you
mentioned
that
you
consulted
with
in
the
business
community,
I,
didn't
hear
water,
a
consultation
with
the
community
associations
and
the
residents
and
the
people
who
are
living
there
and
just
wondering
what
the
response
was
and
whether
you
have
their
formal
support
for
this
application.
Well,.
J
We
we
did
consult
with
them,
we
consulted
with
them.
Actually
before
we
made
our
application,
we
did
go
to
the
Community.
Association
did
a
presentation,
we
have
been
I,
think
very
transparent
and
very
open
about
our
application.
We
also
wrote
a
letter
in
the
Glebe
report
explaining
what
we
were
doing
explicitly.
We
didn't.
We
didn't
seek
a
formal
support,
but
I
think
what
we
were
doing
is
just
being
very
open
and
transparent
about
what
our
plans
were
and
we've
received
to
this
state.
A
A
Okay,
thank
you.
How
much
mr.
Elias,
echoing
what
council
I,
was
getting
that
we
already
have
significant
complaints
about
traffic
in
that
part
of
town
during
major
events
and
your
pitches
for
tourism.
So
you
anticipate
obviously
a
high
volume
of
people.
We
have
complain
it's
about
on
street
parking
and
neighborhoods,
so
I'm
wondering
how
your
organization,
your
businesses
plan,
to
deal
with
those
issues
as
they
arise.
If
this
is
to
pass
well.
J
I
think
these
restrictions
are
in
place
for
events
of
over
15,000
I
think
that
this
is
a
much
more
casual
thing,
I
think
that
really
it's
a
and
we're
seeing
it
already.
You
know,
especially
with
winter
we've
this
past
weekend,
I
think
it's
a
place.
You
know
what
we're
hoping
is
that
being
open
is
going
to
allow
one
place
for
fellow
citizens
to
come,
spend
time
with
their
communities
and
their
families
keep
our
local
residents
in
the
area.
A
If
the
emphasis
or
the
if
the
beginning
point
of
this
application
is
that
it's
tourism
related
yes,
then
it's
more
than
just
keeping
your
local
neighbors,
giving
them
a
place
to
shop.
It's
bringing
people
into
the
community
right
right
and
presumably
a
substantial
number
to
justify
opening
on
a
holiday
again.
J
I
think
it
depends
on
what's
going
on,
I
think
that
the
if
you
look
at
the
staff
reports
on
parking,
we
have
a
new
parking
garage
that
can
accommodate
a
hundred
and
forty
spaces.
We
do
have
a
considerable
amount
of
on-street
parking,
that's
available
now,
and
we
also
have
parking
on
Lansdowne
and
we
have
side
street
parking
and,
except
for
events
of
15,000
or
more,
there
is
ample
parking.
J
J
F
I
We're
good
good
morning,
the
auto
in
district
labor
Council
for
those
not
aware
represents
over
90
Union
locals
and
has
a
combined
membership
of
over
50,000
working
men
and
women
in
the
City
of
Ottawa.
We
are
strongly
opposed
to
the
application
submitted
by
the
Glebe
Street
Business
Improvement
area.
In
addition,
we
are
disappointed
in
the
recommendation
coming
forward
by
staff
as
it
pertains
to
the
application,
the
lack
of
study
and
data,
as
well
as
the
acknowledgement
by
staff
that
the
City
of
Ottawa
has
never
never
dealt
with.
I
Such
an
application
can
perhaps
be
attributed
to
the
recommendation.
The
matter
before
committee
is
not
solely,
nor
simply
a
request
for
tourist
designation
and
an
exemption
under
the
retail
business
holidays
Act
for
one
specific
area
of
our
city.
You
must
realize
that
if
granted,
the
floodgates
will
most
assuredly
open
with
literally
dozens
of
similar
applications
submitted,
the
app
is
clear.
Even
if
all
the
criteria
is
met,
you
are
under
absolutely
no
obligation
prove
the
application
criteria.
That
Miss
instance
has
not
been
met.
To
suggest.
I
The
intent
of
the
Act
was
that
a
202
kilometer
away
in
its
entirety,
wouldnt,
should
be
considered.
A
tourist
attraction
is
ludicrous
at
best.
I
certainly
do
understand
the
historical
significance
of
our
rideau
canal
to
suggest
the
majority
of
tourists
visiting
the
canadian
museum
of
nature,
also
head
over
to
Bank
Street
to
shop,
is
equally
as
puzzling.
I
In
addition,
by
staffs
own
admission,
data
does
not
exist
to
gauge
nor
track
the
percentage
of
tourists
who
shop
and
they
believe
the
act
is
clear
in
respect
to
percentage
of
businesses
who
must
rely
on
tourists
and
are
directly
associated
with
the
tourist
attraction
further
that
those
businesses
over
2,400
square
feet
with
formal
employees
must
provide
services
or
goods
on
holidays
primarily
to
tourists,
doesn't
fit.
What
does
fit
is
that
Whole
Foods
snubbed
their
collective
noses
and
eye
laws
last
year
on
Good
Friday.
I
We
then
in
return
change
our
laws
to
accommodate
the
American
firm
mr.
Peck
mr.
pack,
admittedly
and
median
elsewhere,
has
stated
that
he
doesn't
really
know
if
opening
on
statutory
holidays
will
help
those
shops
along
Bank
Street
he's
hopeful,
but
he
acknowledges
he
doesn't
know.
He
further
states
the
people
buying
online,
and
this
is
a
significant
part
of
his
rationale-
will
flock
to
the
Glebe
and
buy
goods
there.
Instead,
if
opened
on
stat
holidays
seriously,
perhaps
what
mr.
I
pet
should
be
exploring
is
funding
from
the
city
to
offer
training
to
those
businesses
in
his
area
on
how
to
sell
on
how
to
sell
online?
Several
businesses
in
the
Glebe
are
opposed
to
opening
on
the
six
days
being
put
forward
real
body
words,
but
an
example
who
has
publicly
stated
that
it's
difficult
for
staffs
trapped
retailers
to
stay
open
on
statutory
holidays,
to
suggest
that
the
business
would
have
the
option
of
opening
or
staying
closed
as
nonsense.
Business
is
about
competition,
and
if
someone
else
is
open,
I
need
to
be
open
as
well.
I
To
suggest
a
worker
will
have
the
option
of
working
on
the
statue
or
holiday
is
equally
as
nonsensical.
It's
not
reality.
That's
a
fact.
Equally,
so
are
those
who
suggest
the
employee
will
have
the
opportunity
to
earn
more
money
if
working
on
the
holiday,
if
the
employer
paid
the
employee
a
fair
wage
of
good
wage?
To
begin
with,
there'd
be
no
need
to
work
on
a
holiday
to
make
extra
money
with
food
on
the
table.
This
is
not
about
economic
development,
counselor
Shannon,
Shenko,
seemingly
reluctant
put
his
name
to
the
staff
recommendation.
I
I
This
has
absolutely
nothing
to
do
with
the
community
and
everything
to
do
with
a
few
businesses,
one
or
two
large
ones.
The
mistaken
believes
they
will
increase
profit
I've
slimmed
down.
What
I
need
at
least
20
minutes
to
say,
including
someone
from
Bahrain
and
Canada,
where
liens
from
regular
Karb
not
being
a
tourist,
and
this
is
more
about
business
demand
for
less
government
oversight,
including
hours
of
work.
I
I
urge
you
please
do
not
write
the
application
at
the
very
most
refer
back
to
staff,
with
a
proper
studying
with
real
data
can
be
compiled,
including
discussion
with
businesses,
residents
of
the
globe
either
and
workers
and
report
back
to
this
committee
within
six
months
to
a
year
and
two
counselors
in
a
shingle
and
to
all
of
you
to
vote.
Discounting
your
personal
view
on
this
one
either
way.
It's
just
plain
wrong
right
on
time.
Thank.
G
Sean,
maybe
next
time
we
don't
ask
them
to
put
the
mic
on
I
had
to
block
my
ear
too
powerful,
but
my
guys
we
received
from
the
canadian
federation
of
independent
grocers,
CF
IG
and
I
think
a
couple
of
the
speakers.
The
country
grocers
aren't
as
mentioned
here
and
they're.
Talking
about
the
city
of
law.
Toronto
is
now
doing
a
review
of
its
entire
bylaw
you're,
saying
that
and
I
think
they.
You
suggested
that
maybe
we
we
would.
We
should
do
that.
G
I
G
And
you
know
I'm
happy
to
give
you
a
copy
of
this
after
I
was
reading
it,
and
it
was
talking
about
the
change
of
the
changing
cultures.
The
changing
all
of
this
traditional
holidays,
and
that
sort
of
thing,
then,
is
the
fact
that
many
or
many
of
the
big
retailers
like
la
was,
for
example,
of
people
just
on
contract
now,
they're
just
paid,
they
don't
have
benefits,
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
I
would
wonder
if
there
isn't
an
appetite
in
the
retail
industry
for
the
opportunities
to
make
some
extra
money.
You.
I
Know,
I
counselor
I
get
back
to
what
I
what
I
stated
during
my
presentation,
I
think
if
employers
were
paying
something
that
was
significantly
above
a
minimum
wage,
there
would
be
no
need
for
that.
This
is
about
six
days
that
we
don't
have
six
days.
It's
just.
It
makes
sense
to
me
six
days
that
people
have
to
spend
time
together
to
take
that
from
them.
It's
wrong.
Well,.
G
F
Mr.
McKenna,
you
indicate
that
you're
opposed
to
this,
but
after
listening
to
Celts
are
harder.
You
have
not
surveyed
members
who
would
perhaps
benefit
by
extra
hours.
So
what
are
you
going
to
do
it?
You've
you've
accused
us
of
not
doing
our
homework.
Are
you
gonna
go
out
and
ask
those
employees
at
those
stores
whether
they
want
this
or
not,
and
if
they
do,
will
you
reverse
your
position?
F
F
I
I
think
the
recommendation-
perhaps
then,
if
you
and
and
an
I
or
you
and
others
or
to
sort
of
meet
halfway,
perhaps
the
best
approach
to
this
would
be
a
report
back
to
fedka
within
six
months
or
a
year.
The
previous
question
that
was
asked
of
of
Evander
er
was
around
whether
or
not
residents
had
been
consulted.
So
so
that's
the
whole
point
here
that
workers
definitely
buy
staffs
own
admission
have
not
been
consulted.
We
talk
to
workers
now
how
we
talk
to
all
of
those
workers
and
all
of
those
shops.
I
F
I
And
even
better
than
that,
I
would
offer
over
the
next
six
months
or
a
year
if,
in
fact,
that
ends
up
taking
that
route
to
help
staff
out
and
now
in
compiling
that
information
from
our
from
workers,
so
that
the
report
back
to
to
this
committee
in
six
months
or
a
year
would
be.
They
fell
with
a
lot
of
data.
So.
F
The
other
point
you
raised
that
I
found
intriguing
is
that
you
anticipate
the
floodgates
are
going
to
open.
Yet
this
is
the
first
application
in
15
years.
So
what
the
facts
don't
bear
out
that
the
flood
gates
are
opening,
because
we
haven't
had
an
application
for
a
tourism
destination
in
15
years?
How
do
you
what
basis?
Do
you
say
that
there's
going
to
be
a
floodgate
of
applications?
If
we
haven't
seen
one
in
15
years,
you.
I
Know
this
is
the
first
and
I
think
is
city
staff
have
already
acknowledged
it's
the
first
one
that
they've
dealt
with
in
the
last
number
of
years.
Mr.
mayor,
you
know
as
well
as
I
do
that
once
something
starts,
then
there's
an
avalanche
so
that
Elvin
Street
ends
up
being
being
filing
an
application
that
other
areas
and
again
taking
the
canal
all
the
way,
through
two
kilometers
to
either
side
of
that
I'm,
fully
confident
that
that
this
is
just
the
start
of
that.
I
And
I
respect
the
law
I
respect
the
act
doesn't
mean
that
I
have
to
admit
it,
but
the
act
is
there
those
five
different
areas
that
have
been
granted
an
exemption,
I
respect
that
when
it
comes
to
tourism
when
it
comes
to
tourist
attractions
they
fit.
Certainly
the
dream,
as
I
indicated
in
my
presentation,
does
not
fit
so
what
Alvin
Street
fit.
It
probably
would,
but.
F
But
I
guess
we
look
to
experts
in
the
tourism
community
to
give
us
their
import
and
tourism
Ottawa,
which
is
our
expert,
has
indicated
that
they
support
this.
So
they
believe
that
it's,
a
tourism,
designation
and
and
I
think
many
people
would
say
you
know.
If
you
you
want
to
find
out
what
a
tourism
destination
you
should
go
to
tourism
Ottawa.
They
have
a
pretty
good
idea
of
where
people
come
in
the
city
and
where
they
go,
would
you
not
take
their
counsel
as
advice
that
is
expert
and
accurately.
I
I
F
K
Welcome.
Thank
you
very
much.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
come
here
and
thank
you
to
councillor
Brockington
for
encouraging
me
to
come
and
speak
to
you
today.
So
I'm
gonna
speak
to
you
basically
from
my
business
background.
Obviously
I
own
the
country
grocer
over
at
Muniz
Beit
single
operator,
family-owned
30
employees
that
work
there
we've
been
there
20
years.
We
are
right
across
from
Muniz
Bay
Beach
I
have
sat
on
11
different
seat
meeting
in
this
summer.
K
There's
a
tremendous
amount
of
events
that
go
on
at
Muniz
baby
to
our
fare,
very
well
of
so
the
Dragon
Boat
the
whole
beach
to
Track
and
Field
Championships
coming
the
canoe
club,
I
mean
technically
we're
by
the
canal
were
just
as
touristic
as
the
Glebe
seems
to
be,
but
I
think
the
issue
here.
Is
you
know
we
don't
want
this
committee
or
council
to
start
picking
winners
and
losers.
I
think
there's
a
letter
from
confederation
of
independent
grocers.
K
That's
been
circulated
to
the
members
that
express
what's
going
on
in
Toronto
right
now,
there's
some
successful
court
challenges
and
I
think
we
need
to
understand
that
the
metrics
and
the
landscape
is
change,
so
we're
dealing
with
online.
You
know
at
a
fast
pace.
Amazon
don
fret
Amazon
is
a
reality
in
the
States.
They
will
be
selling
groceries
to
you
365
days
a
year.
That
is
a
reality.
That's
the
competitor!
If
you
were
to
give
get
this
area
or
any
other,
then
truthfully
I
think
you
would
see
many
more
apply
for
the
same
designation.
K
You
have
changing
landscape.
Where
you
have
growth,
you
have
you
know.
Certainly
pharmacy
is
now
owned
by
grocery
store
chains
that
are
well
in
advance
of
the
7,500
square
feet
that
sell
more
groceries,
an
idea
on
any
given
days,
so
obviously
I
think
multiculturalism
as
well.
So
I
think
you
need
to
take
this
opportunity
to
review
and
to
look
at
the
bigger
landscape.
K
I
think
there's
certainly
an
opportunity
here
for
this
committee
and
for
council
to
look
at
what's
happening
to
protect
the
interests
of
local
businesses,
whether
it
be
groceries
or
otherwise,
I
mean
we
talk
about
the
bread
and
flats.
I
can
certainly
imagine
that
they
would
be
here
making
a
similar
presentation
to,
and
three
or
four
years
from
now
for
the
same
exemption
and
certainly
would
not
want
you
know
councilors
to
have
to
explain
why
we
have
neighborhoods
against
neighborhoods
or
who
can
and
cannot
open,
so
I
think
we
really
really
need
to
take
a
look.
K
We
have
an
oil
boiler.
That's
been
in
place
for
many
many
years.
It's
it's
interesting
that
it
names
one
specific
retailer
by
name
which
is
outside
that
tourism
zone.
You
can
go
there
on
any
of
those
statute.
Is
it
is
very,
very
busy
I'm
not
saying
they
should
not
be
open
because
there's
obviously
a
need.
It
is
extremely
busy
on
those
days
in
those
stores,
but
I
certainly
don't
want
to
be
victimized
by
one
association
or
another
association
opening
up
in
different
areas
and
ending
up
losing.
K
You
know
my
customers,
because
they
can
drive
five
minutes
or
ten
minutes
away
to
a
tourism
so
on
and
do
the
grocery
shopping
so
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
for
staff
for
this
committee
to
review
the
whole
thing
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
to
really
start
thinking.
We're
talking
about
2017
we're
talking
about
the
CA
Votto
as
a
tourism
destination.
I,
don't
think
it's
a
neighborhood
destination!
It's
a
tourism,
it's
a
city
destination,
so
I
think
it's
probably
you
know
my
recommendation.
K
O
You,
mr.
mayor,
so
if
I
understand
what
you're
saying
correctly-
and
please
tell
me
if
or
not,
for
example,
when
this
motion
was
first
tabled,
I
suggested
that
perhaps
we
look
at
this
as
a
pilot
project
for
2017
and
apply
it
across
the
city,
because
I
share
your
concern
about
neighborhood
against
neighborhood,
and
you
know
we'll
all
the
people
can
add
on
now
be
looking
for
a
way
to
get
two
lands
down
on
holidays.
If
this
is
the
case,
so
would
you
be
supportive
of
something
like
that?
K
Think
the
key
here
is
I
think
that
every
part
of
the
city
certainly
has
benefits.
I,
don't
know
if
I
would
do
one
part
in
another
part,
because
obviously
they're
shopping
patterns
and
all
kinds
of
things
that
come
to
play
and
then
you
know
I,
don't
know,
but
if
you
know
if
2017
was
marked
to
be
the
year
where
we
would
test
it,
I
would
certainly
welcome
it
at
least
we're
all
in
the
same
level
playing
field.
Nice
I,
guess
that's
my
biggest
issue.
K
K
I
mean
you
know
times
a
change
and
media
online
retailing,
and
certainly
when
we
address
the
staffing
issue,
I
mean
if
they
volunteer
to
do
it
in
our
area,
we're
right
beside
helping
university
there's
an
awful
lot
of
students
that
certainly
are
warned
the
willing
to
work
on
those
days
to
get
the
time
and
a
half
to
get
the
extra
hours.
It
certainly
would
not
be
an
issue.
So
I
think
we've
looked
at
at
all
and
I
think
there's
a
demand
from
you
know:
local
customers.
K
O
I
would
say,
you're,
probably
quite
well
in
contact
with
other,
like
businesses,
in
your
perhaps
across
the
city.
You
just
mentioned
that,
like
in
your
case,
you
don't
see
it
as
an
issue
with
your
employees
that
there's
enough
that
would
welcome
the
opportunity
to
get
the
extra
hours.
Could
you
make
a
leap
and
say
that
you
think
that
maybe
the
same
elsewhere,
I.
K
Would
think
it
would
be
certainly
similar
if
you
look
at
retail,
especially
grocery
retail,
which
I
know
well.
I
mean
you've
got
grocery
stores
that
have
full
salad
bar
full
hot
bars
there
more
restaurants
than
there
are
retail
outlets
they're
both
now
so
you
know
they
hire
a
chef.
They
hire
people
to
prepare
foods
that
are
typically
working,
the
restaurants
that
are
open
all
the
time,
so
it's
nothing
new
to
them.
K
I
mean
I
cannot
speak
today
on
their
behalf,
but
I
certainly
believe
that
there's
certainly
a
momentum
there,
because
we're
all
victimized
or
we
will
all
be
victimized
by
amazon.com
or
whoever
comes
next.
You
know
drop
in
groceries
at
your
door,
so
I
think
that
there
is
certainly
an
appetite
for
it.
Thank.
L
Good
morning,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
I
guess.
The
main
point
that
I
wanted
to
make
today
is
that
it's
about
choice.
So
I
am
in
favor
of
this
exemption
and
I'm
in
favor
of
allowing
business
owners
entrepreneurs
to
have
the
choice
to
decide
if
they
want
to
be
open
or
not
simply
put
I,
don't
like
it
when
other
people
decide
how
and
when
and
in
what
capacity,
I
can
earn
a
living.
How
and
when
and
what
I
can
decide
terms
of
paying
my
employees.
L
The
second
speaker
was
quite
vocal
about
a
scale
I'm
proud
to
say
that
you
know
it's
starting
salary
and
my
business
is
$17
an
hour.
So
I
think
that
it
really
is
about
providing
an
entrepreneur
with
the
choice
how
they
want
to
pay
their
employees
when
they
want
to
be
open,
what
products
they
want
to
offer
and
how
they
benefit
the
community
in
which
they
are
situated,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
having
a
vibrant
and
dynamic
streetscape
brings
people
to
neighborhood,
and
it
also
creates
a
better,
more
beautiful
community.
L
L
P
You
good
morning,
mr.
mayor
good
morning,
councillors
on
the
federal
Finance
and
Economic
Development
Committee.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
appear
before
you
today
and
to
speak
in
support
of
the
Glee
B
Ayase
application
for
an
exemption
from
the
mandatory
holiday
closure
provisions
of
the
retail
business
holidays.
Act
I
represent
the
sports
teams
and
other
businesses
that
operate
at
TD,
Place
and
Lansdowne
at
O
sake.
We
work
closely
with
our
partner
the
city
to
manage
the
entire
Lansdowne
site.
P
We
try
to
be
good
neighbors
to
residents
of
the
Glebe
ottawa
south
and
old
ottawa
east,
but
you
may
not
know
that
o
sag
and
all
the
retailers
and
restaurants
at
Lansdowne
are
members
of
the
glee
bia.
We
share
the
vision
of
its
leader,
a
new
pack,
as
you
spoke
this
morning,
that
the
Glebe
business
district,
unique
local
flavor,
is
a
compelling
proposition
for
tourists
for
visitors
that
are
already
in
the
area
for
concerts,
festivals
and
other
sporting
events.
P
We
at
o
say,
are
permitted
to
hold
sporting
events
and
concerts
on
holidays
our
fans
like
it,
our
employees
like
it
too
people
can
also
go
to
movies
at
Cineplex
cinemas.
On
holidays
people
like
that
too,
it
will
be
good
for
business
visitors
to
lands
now
also
visit
businesses
engraved
on
those
same
holidays,
I
think
the
Glebe
will
make
an
even
greater
contribution
to
Auto
as
tourism
economy
by
providing
visitors
with
a
more
complete
grieve
experience
by
remaining
fully
open
on
those
holidays.
P
The
Glebe,
a
BIA
application
for
an
exemption
references,
many
examples
of
how
the
district
meets
the
criteria,
among
them
the
Rideau
Canal
and
it's
wonderful,
parkland,
those
historic
buildings
at
Lansdowne,
the
festivals,
the
concerts,
sporting
events
and
other
activities
at
TD
place
and
on
the
Great
Lawn.
But
those
are
only
snapshots
from
within
a
full
day
and
evening
of
the
tourist
experience.
Visitors
like
to
explore
shops,
purchase
items
and
get
a
feel
for
those
communities
that
they
are
visiting.
Clearly
they
can't
do
that
in
the
Glebe
on
those
holidays.
P
Luckily,
BIA
survey
found
that
three-quarters
of
businesses
in
the
neighbourhood
derive
30%
of
their
annual
sales
from
visitors
and
tourists.
That's
a
big
number
and
imagine
how
much
those
businesses
would
benefit
by
having
the
opportunity
to
remain
open
on
holidays.
New
tourist
traffic
is
at
its
highest
Ottawa.
Tourism
stated
that
it
believes
the
benefit
would
be
substantial.
In
his
letter
of
support
for
the
exemption
Ottawa
tourism
said
the
Glee
embodies
all
the
characteristics
consistent
with
ottawa's
strategic
pillars
of
capital
of
capital,
culture,
green
and
urban.
P
In
other
words,
the
Glebe
is
collectively
a
tourist
attraction
and
another
citywide
organization
that
supports
the
application
for
exemption.
Is
the
Ottawa
Chamber
of
Commerce
their
letter
of
support
made
a
direct
tie
between
the
neighborhood's
business
community
tourism
and
economic
growth
in
our
city.
Neos
egg
agree
with
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
in
Ottawa
tourism
that
the
Glebe
is
a
tourist
destination
and
it
meets
the
criteria
for
an
exemption
funding,
mandatory
holiday
closures
under
that
act.
P
Q
P
Q
M
Q
I
was
just
looking
on
page
15,
there's
a
lot
of
data
about
events
that
happen
at
TD
place
or
at
Lansdowne,
but
I'm,
looking
for
specific
information
on
the
types
of
visits
to
glebe
shops
and
businesses
and
restaurants.
So
if
it's
there
I'd
be
happy
to
look
at
it
further,
but
I
heard
reference
to
a
survey
so
I'm
very
interested
in
survey
data
that
can
substantiate
this
request.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
F
R
You
mayor
Watson
and
council
for
the
opportunity
to
address
you
as
mayor
Watson,
has
stated
my
business
of
the
unrefined
olive
is
located
on
Second
Avenue,
just
off
of
Bank
Street
I
also
said
on
our
greed
BIA,
so
I'm
speaking
from
both
perspectives.
This
morning,
I
would
just
like
to
State
for
the
record
as
well
that
as
a
formal
civil
servant
of
ten
years
ago,
I
started
my
to
business
as
three
years
ago.
R
There's
no
one
who
understands
more
what
four
days
of
paid
vacation
and
statutory
holidays
feels
like
so
I'm
very
appreciative
and
very
protective
of
those
nine
statutory
holidays.
We
get
a
year,
however,
I'm
absolutely
in
favor
of
this
exemption
for
the
Glebe
BIA
and
the
reason
for
that
is
a
business
owner.
I'm,
a
responsible
business
owner
just
like
Eva
at
the
Lila,
is
a
responsible
entrepreneur
and
business
owner.
We
start
our
staff
at
fifteen
dollars
an
hour
how
we
conduct
ourselves
as
professionals
with
our
employees.
R
R
During
this
very
busy
time
during
winter
lewd
we
subscribe,
we
try
to
bring
people
off
of
the
canal
into
our
stores
as
destination.
Your
customer
loyalty
is
not
built
solely
and
singularly
on
your
opening
hours.
Your
opening
hours
do
not
necessarily
offer
you
competitive
advantage
as
a
business
owner.
Your
customer
loyalty
is
based
on
how
you
treat
your
customers,
your
employees,
this
type
of
service,
the
quality
of
service
that
you
offer.
It's
not
singularly
based
on
if
you're
open
during
statutory
holidays
or
not
I
am
fully
committed
to
the
process.
R
How
all
of
these
areas
and
districts
that
are
open
during
these
retail
holidays
will
provide
a
better
experience
for
local
residents
and
tourists
alike.
We
know
the
economy's
in
a
downturn.
We
know
that
small
business
struggles
for
a
number
of
reasons
we
need
to
take
advantage
as
well
of
our
neighbors
to
the
south,
who
have
a
very,
very
strong
dollar
and
bringing
them
to
our
area
so
I,
think
by
opening
and
having
these
exemptions
and
working
together,
we
are
actually
providing
a
better
opportunity
for
small
business
to
thrive
under
these
conditions.
R
I
spend
a
lot
of
time
in
marketing
and
social
media
and
communication
with
hotel
concierge,
with
publications,
bringing
people
to
my
business
during
times
of
recreational
opportunity
during
times
of
touristic
opportunity
around
surrounding
Canada
days
and
tulip
festivals,
and
when
the
Canal
is
open,
so
I
think
as
a
business
owner.
You
have
that
responsibility
and
if
we
do
that
in
conjunction
with
one
another
as
a
business,
district,
I
think
that
will
just
help
to
make
us
thrive
together.
Thank
you
great.
R
It's
based
on
both
that's
based
on
twofold.
Not
only
do
we
want
to,
you
need
to
always
bring
energy
and
vitality
to
a
business
district,
so
it's
being
seen
as
being
vibrant,
so
people
will
be
attracted
to
go
there,
so
that
means
doing
that
during
all
seasonality
all
times
of
the
year.
So
it's
to
provide
more
fulsome
service
to
my
customers.
However,
we
are
also
a
destination
store.
Therefore,
we
have
people
who
come
from.
R
You
know
south
of
the
border
who
come
from
Montreal
who
come
from
Quebec
City,
who
come
from
Toronto
to
visit
our
particular
business.
So
we
want
to
serve
our
customer
ship,
but
also
to
provide
an
experience
to
make
Ottawa
more
vibrant
city,
that's
known
for
providing
full
full
services
to
the
visitors
as.
G
Well,
and
what
would
your
comment
be
towards
the
but
again
become
the
comments
from
the
Canadian
Federation
of
independent
grocers,
except
where
they
talk
about?
This
is
a
change
time.
People
are
shopping
online,
people
are
it's
very
multicultural
people
don't
have
the
same
holidays
and
that
sort
of
thing.
What
would
your
comment
me?
What
kind
of
an
impact
do
you
think
that
has
and
also
the
last
thing
would
be?
What
would
you
think
if
such
an
allowance
was
given
to
all
the
BI
A's
in
the
city
and
then
have
them
make
the
choices?
R
I
think
that
a
changing
of
habits
and
patterns
are
something
that
is
always
going
to
be
before
us
I.
Think.
In
the
past,
everyone
got
paid
on
a
Thursday
went
grocery
shopping
on
a
Friday
went
out
to
dinner
on
a
Saturday
spent
time
together,
went
to
the
you
know,
various
associations
of
faith
on
a
Sunday
and
conducted
themselves
very
differently
in
this
day
and
age.
The
business
climate
is
highly
irregular.
I
look
at
my
colleagues
in
the
restaurant
industry
and
don't
know
how
they
do
it
a
Tuesday
night.
R
You
could
be
absolutely
filled
with
customership
due
to
it
being
sunny
due
to
it
being
rainy,
the
next
Tuesday
night,
your
fully
staffed
up
and
absolutely
nobody
comes
through
your
door.
There's
no
rhyme
or
reason
or
scale
to
pattern
anymore.
It
could
be
weather
dependent,
it
could
be
shopping
online.
It
could
be
the
dollar,
it
could
be
the
economy,
so
the
whole
idea
is
to
be
able
to
be
responsive
and
I.
Think
in
having
the
opportunity
to
be
open
and
that
harkens
back
as
well
I
think
customers
are
loyal
to
you
as
a
business.
R
I'm
closed
every
Monday
and
every
Tuesday
I
hear
you
were
closed
yesterday,
but
they're
back
in
there,
because
they're
loyal
to
my
business.
If
you
service
your
customers,
if
you're
not
open
on
a
particular
weekend
or
a
day,
they'll
be
back
the
next
day.
So
it's
up
to
you
to
build
your
business
ship.
Some
people
will
always
be
a
matter
of
convenience.
They
need
to
get
something
at
that
moment.
R
F
N
C
D
L
Okay,
good
morning,
everybody,
my
name
is
Yasmine
Jen
I'm,
executive,
director
of
the
by
Road
market
BIA.
With
respect
to
the
agree,
vis
application
for
tourism
designation,
the
by
Road
market,
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
express
concern
and
a
word
of
caution
regarding
this
application.
The
tourism
designations
and
exemptions
that
currently
exist
truly
represent
the
tourist
area
and
uphold
the
original
intent
of
the
bylaw.
L
By
contrast,
the
basis
for
tourism
designation
laid
out
in
this
report
only
meets
the
very
very
basic
criteria
only
based
on
distance
and
proximity,
but
does
not
prove
a
tourism
Alliance
for
businesses.
The
original
applications
were
relied
on,
Parliament
Hill
as
the
name
towards
detractor,
not
the
canal.
In
fact,
if
the
Glade
was
so
reliant
on
tourism
to
be
sustainable,
why
was
not
one
single
hotel
constructed
in
the
redevelopment
of
Lansdowne
Park,
allowing
this
designation
with
no
actual
study?
L
A
proof
of
the
significance
of
tourism
for
the
area
will
create
a
worrisome
precedent
that
will
absolutely
open
the
floodgates
for
exemption
requests
and
thereby
circumvent
the
original
intent
of
the
our
BHA
and
the
associated
bylaw.
All
of
the
presentations
today
have
been
speaking
to
a
variety
of
topics,
but
very
few
have
actually
addressed
the
tourism
component.
A
quick
glance
at
our
TripAdvisor
map
builder
maps
demonstrates
the
proximity
of
hotels
and
proximity
of
tourist
attractions
to
the
existing
tourist
designation
areas
and
by
comparison
to
the
application
area.
L
L
If
you
look
at
the
bottom
graph,
it
shows
museums
within
the
proximity
of
the
tourism
designated
areas
and
the
variety
of
vis.
So
if
the
plywood
market
we
have
seven,
the
globe
has
one
bank
street
bia
actually
has
four
Preston
has
one
and
Chinatown
has
two
one
final
comparison.
There
is
no
better
indication
of
the
volume
of
tourists
Sumeria
hosts
than
by
reviewing
the
volume
of
tour
buses.
The
Byward
market
hosts
thousands
of
tour
buses
every
year.
The
only
area
in
the
city
that
has
any
dedicated
on
street
tour
bus
parking
is
the
Byward
market.
L
As
a
matter
of
fact,
the
city's
own
tour
bus
parking
map
doesn't
even
show
the
globe
at
all.
The
map
cuts
off
north
of
the
Queensway.
It
is
also
worth
noting
that
basing
the
designation
on
proximity
to
a
facility
presenting
concerts
and
sporting
matches
would
also
exempt
the
Tanger
Outlet
Mall,
which
is
located
only
500
meters
from
the
Canadian
Tire
Center
point
of
interest
as
well.
L
Finally,
if
the
report
is
to
support
the
request
of
a
tourism
designation,
why
is
the
report
claiming
quote
being
granting
an
exemption
by
law
to
the
rbh
a
would
enable
the
Glebe
BIA
to
strengthen
the
local
business
environment
and
better
serve
the
needs
of
the
community?
Is
this
designation
intended
to
support
the
tourism
or
the
convenience
of
residents
if
this
report
is
being
used
to
support
the
need
of
residents
and
every
single
retailer
in
the
the
city
can
make
this
claim
to
stay
open
all
year?
Long?
L
Finally,
in
the
Ontario
regulations,
7
1
1
/
91
tourism
criteria.
It
states
a
retail
business
establishment
may
be
exempted
if,
in
addition
to
meeting
the
tourism
market
criteria
set
out
in
the
subsection,
2-1
provides
goods
or
services
on
holiday,
primarily
to
tourists.
I'm
also
going
to
say
on
a
personal
note:
my
husband
works
in
the
retail
industry.
L
F
H
So
it's
a
really
interesting
discussion
actually
and
I.
Think
the
poet
made
some
really
good
points
on
both
sides.
I
was
particularly
interested
in
the
fellow
from
the
country
grocer
who
spoke
because
I
understand
that,
if
we're
opening
up
more
and
more
areas,
then
there
is
a
competition
element
and
I
know,
there's
already
competing
online,
but
we're
almost
making
a
bit
of
an
unlevel
playing
field.
I
guess
my
question
is:
how
much
data
do
we
have
on
businesses
that
are
operating
illegally
on
these
days
and.
M
H
Quite
a
few
of
them
open
on
those
days
and
I.
Just
wonder
if
we're
actually
tracking
that
information,
it
would
be.
Ottawa
police
will
provide
that
tongue.
Information
but
I
do
know
a
Remembrance
Day
that
is
won
by
Allah
that
we
do
enforce
where
our
retail
shops
have
to
be
running
close
till
12:30
and
when
we
first
enacted
Barlow
will
win
citywide.
We
did
lay
a
number
of
charges,
but
we
found
the
compliance.
Certainly
picked
up
fell
once
we
educated
and
identified
the
requirements
for
the
bar
law
with
respect
to
the
retail
level.
H
G
L
Mr.
mayor,
mrs.
Jones
Kenda
can
supplement
the
answer,
but
we
did
do
a
review
in
2008.
It
was
a
partial
review
in
order
to
bring
in
Family
Day,
which
was
a
new
holiday
created
under
that
act.
At
that
time,
council
took
the
opportunity
to
harmonize
all
the
existing
exemption
bylaws
so
that
all
areas
benefiting
from
an
exemption
by
law
were
open
on
the
same.
G
Holidays
at
the
same
times,
that's
the
last
time
we
took
a
look
at
so
I'm
going
to
talk
well,
actually,
I'll
ask
mine
before
I
used
to
me.
So
what
do
you
think
that
there
would
be
value
in
having
that
review
citywide
and
not
just
on
the
tourism
issue,
but
on
the
fairness
factor,
whether
there's
a
legitimate
reason,
if
times
have
changed
enough
etc?
Would
there
be
anybody
I
think.
H
That's
a
political
decision.
You
certainly
can
review
it.
If
you
want
to,
we
know,
we've
got
some
limitations
and
legal
can
comment
right
now,
provincially
in
terms
of
what
the
regulations
are.
Certainly
when
the
regulations
were
enacted,
I
don't
think
they
were
thinking
by
the
internet
was
a
city
in
terms
of
economic
development
and
providing
the
opportunity
to
ensure
our
stores
can
operate
effectively.
I
probably
can't
sit
on
their
economic
development
to
provide
that
comment.
M
If
I
can
just
add,
counselor
I
would
not
hold
this
application
back
before
a
big
review.
If
a
big
review
is,
is
something
that
you
want
to
do.
You
know
we
ask.
Whenever
anything
related
to
tourism,
we
go
to
tourism
experts,
both
the
asla
and
I
sit
on
the
Ottawa
tourism
board
and
the
management
of
Ottawa
tourism
is
quite
strong
in
their
opinion.
That
bleeb
is
not
the
same
Glee
back
in
1991.
M
It
does
represent
a
huge
tourism
potential,
and
this
kind
of
an
effort
is
going
to
make
sure
that
we
maximize
the
dollars
that
we
can
extract
from
people
who
visit
the
city.
So
I
would
suggest
that
we
don't
hold
this
application
that,
but
then
a
bigger
study
is
something
that
you'd
have
to.
Let
us
know
if
you
want
to
do
because.
G
There
is
a
new
factor,
mr.
Neher,
and
that's
the
LRT
and
where
we're
investing
in
that
and
how
that's
going
to
move
people
in
our
city,
so
arguably
Westborough
would
be
one
that
would
be
easy
access
for
people
beyond
lebreton
flats
and
even
for
the
West
Enders.
It's
the
the
LRT
will
go
that
far,
maybe
as
a
takeaway
councillor
or
Taylor,
who
is
our
representative,
but
a
MoU
could
just
test
the
water
next
time,
you're
there
and
see
what
other
people
are
doing.
Thank
you.
O
You
mr.
mayor
and
I
certainly
support
councillor
has
called
for
a
review
of
the
the
law.
The
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
give
a
direction,
the
staff
that
we
undertake
reviews-
or,
let's
say
a
consultation
with
the
BIA
s,
the
board
of
trades
and
in
recognition
that
there's
pockets
of
dense
retail
in
the
city
that
are
not
covered
by
a
BIA
or
board
a
trade
that
we,
your
staff
work
with
the
ward
councillors
to
see
if
there's
a
way
to
consult
those
businesses
as
well.
O
I'd
like
to
see
if
there's
interest
in
those
areas
applying
for
this
designation
for
2017,
because
I
believe
the
whole
city's
going
to
be
a
tourist
designation
for
2017,
and
it
would
give
us
a
chance
to
see
if
there's
interest
and
does
it
help
the
business
community
and
also
what's
the
impacts
for
the
employees.
Did
they
see
it
as
a
benefit
or
is
it
an
added
burden
for
families
in
retail?
So
because
we've
heard
both
sides
to
that
today.
So
that's
something
that
the
BIA
s
and
so
on
could
ask.
O
F
M
A
M
M
A
So
how,
on
these
days,
where
there's
gonna
be
exemptions,
how
do
we
know
that
tourism
will
be
high
in
the
absence
of
an
event
you
know,
I
can
see
there
being
a
football
game
on
Canada,
Day
and
Thanksgiving.
You
know,
don't
have
anything
on
family,
they
probably
don't
have
anything
on
Victoria
Day.
So
how
are
we
gonna
get
those
tourists
to
actually
be
there
in
the
absence
of
major
events
and
therefore,
what's
the
purpose
of
opening
I
guess
so.
M
One
of
the
things
speaking
with
outdoor
tourism
is
that
many
tourists
are
now
choosing
Lansdowne
as
a
destination
to
come
visit
when
they
come
to
Ottawa,
so
they
may
not
necessarily
be
in
Ottawa
for
an
event.
But
if
they're
here
on
Victoria
Day
to
see
Ottawa
Lansdowne
is
one
of
the
place
that
they
go
see.
So
that
area
is
becoming
a
bit
of
a
tourist
retractor,
and
so
it
would
be
those
types
of
people
who
are
not
there
for
events,
but
just
to
experience
what
Landstown
has
to
offer.
C
M
C
You
mister
yep,
can
someone
mentioned?
How
do
we
define
what
tourism
is
I?
Guess
it's
very
clear.
As
when
we
had
the
discussion
of
developing
the
TV
place,
we
always
knew
that
when
become
a
tourist
attraction.
When
the
question
from
mr.
Mehra
about
how
many
people
visited
TV
place
last
year,
2.5
million
I
think
that's
a
definition
of
what
tourism
is
every
time.
There's
a
major
event.
C
There
will
be
a
lot
of
people
at
TD
place
when
we
have
the
Labor
Day
football
game
at
TD,
place,
there's
24,000
and
where
people
just
at
the
game,
without
counting
the
people
that
are
around
the
area
every
time,
there's
a
benefit
to
the
business
community
and
remember,
there's
a
dialogue
and
in
discussion
when
we
when
we
talked
about
arrest,
you
and
you
know
the
benefits
and
you
know
the
BIA
at
that
time.
The
global
ia
was
not
sure
if
this
would
be
something
that
you
would
want
to
see
in
your
community.
C
But
now
today
you
see
that
yes,
they
see
that
there
is
a
benefit
from
all
the
exercises
that
we
have
undertaken
and
I
think
to
not
support
this
from
your
mistake.
If
you
want
to
review
the
isolation
across
the
city.
Well,
that's
a
discussion.
I,
don't
know
if
I
would
support
that.
I
do
support
a
nation
from
their
group.
Thank
You.
Mr.
mayor.
A
You
very
much
mr.
mayor
and
I
certainly
would
support
a
review
because
I
think
you
know
we
heard
from
some
of
the
speaker's
today
that
this
whole
issue
of
the
modern
economy
versus
the
old
bricks
and
mortar
economy,
as
well
as
the
notion
of
what's
a
holiday
and
what's
a
tourist
driver,
are
all
becoming
conflated.
So
I
certainly
would
would
support
that
that
review
I'm
a
little
interested
in
the
you
know,
I
read
the
material
and
listened
to
the
presentations.
A
What
councilor
bleh
was
talking
about
the
differentiation
between
it
being
a
tourist
driver
versus
being
you
know,
just
a
value-add
for
people
who
live
in
Ottawa.
Currently
now
I
didn't
ask
this
of
the
the
BIA
when
they
were
down
but
I
know
they've
been
in
consultations
with
your
shop.
Has
there
been
any
discussion
about
what
actions
they
would
take
to
promote
this
area
as
a
tourist
area?
M
I
would
suspect
the
would
undertake
the
same
types
of
partnership
opportunities
that
other
bis
would
currently
undertake
with
Ottawa
tourism
I'm,
not
aware
of
any
specific,
you
know
things
that
they
have
talked
about
without
ever
tourism
to
promote
sleep,
but
if
I
think
this,
this
report
goes
through
I'm
sure
in
Ottawa,
tourism
would
be
working
closely
together
to
make
sure
that
it's
appearing
in
the
marketing
collateral
there
are
our
tourism
pushes
out
to
the
rest
of
the
world.
Okay,.
A
Okay,
well
I
appreciate
that
I'm
I'm
going
to
support
this,
but
I'm
doing
it
very
thinly
and
and
in
the
hopes
that
we
have
that
critical
mass
to
go
forward
and
do
a
review
only
because
I
think
that
you
know
there
is
potential
here,
certainly
for
the
area,
but
at
the
same
time
I
think
out
of
not
just
fairness
to
the
workers,
but
also
fairness
to
the
other
business
communities
across
the
city.
And
you
have
to
look
at
something.
A
Q
Q
F
Well,
just
under
the
retail
holiday
business
Act
we
have
the
list
that
was
there
spark
Street,
Reno,
Street,
Reno,
Center
and
so
on,
but
there's
no
designation
per
se.
The
only
thing
we
have
is
the
designation
of
the
Rideau
Parkway
system,
I
think
that's
on
parents
of
whales
and
so
on,
but
there's
not
a
designation
per
se
when.
Q
You
look
at
that
list
and
you
look
at
other
places
like
the
future
lebreton
flats,
Muniz
Bay,
as
we've
heard,
that
gets
up
to
a
million
visitors
a
year,
not
just
tourists
but
and
the
types
of
services
that
those
visitors
need,
whether
it's
on
a
stat
holiday
or
just
a
regular
weekend,
Westborough.
Even
the
Canadian
Tire
Center,
for
looking
at
numbers
about
how
many
visitors
and
spectators
come
to
TVs
works.
F
Q
F
E
You
mr.
mayor
I
will
not
be
supporting
this.
This
proposal
by
staff
and
I'll
explain
why
growing
up
in
a
family,
my
sister
has
worked
in
retail
for
whole
life.
Recently
retired
and
I
can't
begin
to
tell
you
the
match.
The
nation's
we
had
to
go
around
to
include
their
family
in
in
family
events
with
the
existing
was
so
talking
about
Christmas
Eve,
Boxing
Day.
That
sort
of
thing
to
add
these
further
dates
in
Jimmy
is
going
to
exacerbate
that
problem
for
fam,
whose
have
family
members,
mothers,
fathers,
kids,
their
work
in
the
retail
industry.
E
It's
equally
ironic
I
think
to
be
doing
the
same
thing
around
Labor
Day,
which
is
a
day,
were
supposed
to
celebrate
people
who
work
in
our
community
and
we're
saying:
let's
go
out
and
celebrate
by
letting
you
work
some
more
so
this.
This
is
something
that
I
just
I
can't
stop
my
pay.
It
doesn't
sit.
Well,
with
me
and
I
think
for
the
little
bit
of
benefit
financially
they'll
be
accrued
through
this
I'm,
not
convinced
it
will
be
a
huge
surge
of
abuse.
E
There
are
emergency
services.
If
you
will
there
are
places
you
can
get
food
if
you
need
to
get
food
places
and
get
drugs.
If
you
need
to
get
drugs
on
these
days,
I'm,
not
convinced
by
the
business
model
and
I'm,
absolutely
not
convinced
by
the
impact
that
will
have
on
families
who
are
involved
in
the
retail
business.
It's
one
thing
for
the
owners
to
make
this
decision.
Q
B
Thank
you
very
much.
This
has
been
not
very
interesting
for
all
the
reasons,
I
suppose
a
lot
of
the
right
reasons:
I'm
a
reluctant
supporter
or
a
supporter
with
concerns.
Why
am
I
supporter?
The
people
are
there,
but
are
the
doors
open
or
are
all
the
doors
that
want
to
be
open,
allowed
to
be
open?
I?
Think
it's
a
bit
of
a
red
herring.
This
whole
question
of
what
is
a
tourist
in
what
distance?
There
are
very
many
people
who
come
to
offer
when
they
asked
the
question.
B
What
would
a
great
place
be
to
go
to
hang
out
to
get
coffee
to
get
food
to
browse,
to
spend
some
time
a
walkable,
a
place
where
we
could
just
stall
you'd
be
hard-pressed
to
find
a
community
higher
on
the
list
and
a
street
higher
on
the
list
than
Bank
Street
in
the
Glebe?
You
now
add
to
that
the
entire
land
sound
precinct
which
we
sold
bought
into
and
put
a
lot
of
money
into
because
it
was
going
to
be
a
tourism
draw.
B
Then
you've
really
amplified
that
you
this
weekend
we
were
not
getting
people
from
Rome
or
Tokyo
coming
to
build.
Two
thousand
and
something-or-other
snowmen
on
the
field
at
Lansdowne
Park.
That
was
not
a
redblacks
game.
That
was
a
thousand
people
who
came
down
and
then
went
out
and
were
hungry
and
cold
and
wanted
to
do
some
stuff.
While
they
were
there,
there
are
things
going
on
all
the
time
in
the
area
around
and-and-and-and
directly
in
the
glede
people
are
there.
B
This
is
a
really
a
request
that
is
asking
if
they
are
there
and
they
are
there
on
many
current
statutory
holidays.
Why
is
it
that
some
businesses
can
be
open
and
others
can't?
We
watch
them
go
by
our
door
or
we
see
them
knock
on
the
window
to
check
that
they're
open
or
closed?
That's
really
what
the
request
is
about
and
the
Glee
Bay
has
followed
the
process
that
we,
we
being
the
provincial
government
and
municipal
government
have
established
for
them.
B
So,
while
I
totally
agree
that
this
there
are
big
issues
here,
that
should
be
reviewed
and
would
be
a
wholehearted
supporter
of
those.
The
fact
is
that
here
today
we
can't
say
come
back
in
six
months
or
a
year
when
we
may
have
a
new
process
for
you.
We
don't
do
that
with
any
other
issue.
We
don't
do
that
to
someone
applying
for
a
zoning
or
a
building
permit.
B
You
deal
with
the
rules
that
exist
today
and
if
you
get
your
application
in
on
time,
you
are
evaluated
according
to
those
rules,
so
I
think
that's
what
we
have
to
do
and,
according
to
those
rules,
I
am
convinced
that
this
application
qualifies.
Why
am
I
a
reluctant
for
the
same
reasons
we
hear
from
any
of
you?
Employees
are
under
enormous
pressure,
I
hear
too
many
stories
about
poor
treatment,
sometimes
unethical
or
even
illegal
treatment
of
employees,
but
that
isn't
what
we
are
able
to
grapple
with
here
today.
That
is
really
big.
B
B
There
are
many
employment
rules
that
I
find
offensive
and
they
need
to
be
dealt
with,
but
that
isn't
what
we're
dealing
with
here
today
we're
dealing
with
an
application
according
to
rules
so
we're
discussing
choice
for
business
owners,
we
have
to
ensure
the
employees
have
the
same
choice,
so
I
thought
the
least
that
I
could
do
and
did
do
in.
My
comments
with
this
application
is
to
have
on
record
what
the
what
the
protections
are,
that
an
employee
has
the
right
to
decline.
B
A
shift
should
be
made
aware
of
that
right
and
that
right
should
be
respected.
I
know,
I
can't,
and
we
probably
can't
guarantee
any
employee
that
that
will
happen,
but
I
thought
it
important
to
use
this
application
to
put
that
on
record.
This
isn't
just
about
the
right
that
the
choice
we
heard
about
choice,
this
isn't
just
about
the
choice
of
the
employer
or
the
business
owner.
It
has
to
be.
If
we
pass
this,
we
have
to
acknowledge
and
underline.
There
is
equally
a
choice
of
the
employee
to
work
or
not
work
on
those
days.
F
Of
observations,
one
just
do
for
people's
benefit
three
holidays,
Good,
Friday,
Easter,
Sunday
and
Christmas
are
not
part
of
this.
This
Act,
those
those
are,
are
embedded
in
legislation.
I
just
want
to
talk
about
the
the
issue
of
Lansdowne
Park,
which
is
a
lot
different
than
the
Lions
down
park
of
20
years
ago,
and
it's
probably
one
of
the
reasons
why
the
BIA,
which
includes
now
Lansdowne,
has
come
forward,
followed
the
process
that
we
set
out
and
have
asked
for
this
exemption.
F
2.5
to
2.8
million
visitors.
Last
year,
concerts
sporting
tossing
a
frisbee
around
the
Great
Lawn
going
for
a
meal.
The
FIFA
Women's
World
Cup
were
vying
for
the
Grey
Cup
in
2017
and
council,
really
envisioned
Lansdowne
as
a
destination
for
the
whole
city
and
for
tourists
as
it
unfolded,
and
that's
exactly
what
is
happening
on
that
particular
site
and
I,
like
you,
have
had
the
pleasure
and
privilege
of
attending
a
number
of
different
events
and
I
meet
people
from
all
over
the
province.
F
Northern
US
states
province
of
Quebec
who
are
coming
and
making
that
their
destination,
but
at
the
same
time,
this
is
not
pitting
one
area
against
another,
because
the
reality
is
when
people
come
to
a
city.
That'll
just
go
to
one
area.
They
want
to
explore
whether
it's
culinary
tourism
or
cultural
tourism
or
sport
tourism.
They
want
to
get
around
to
different
parts
of
the
city.
F
Renteria
is
not
here,
but,
as
you
know,
he
chairs
the
Council
of
bis
or
co-chairs
it
and,
as
councilor
harder
pointed
out,
she
hasn't
heard
from
her
BIA
s
that
they're
gonna
be
at
a
disadvantage
because
they're
not
opening
because
they
haven't
asked
for
the
exemption.
So
there's
gonna
be
good
arguments
to
expand
this
designation,
and
maybe
we
get
the
province
to
enact
the
regulation.
That's
been
sitting
on
the
books
since
I
think
2006,
and
we
try
a
pilot
project
in
those
areas
that
do
want
it
for
2017.
F
So
we
can
measure
against
the
year
before
when
they
didn't
have
the
exemption.
But,
as
we
heard
from
a
number
of
small
business
people
today,
this
is
really
about
giving
the
business
community
the
choice.
If
I
had
my
druthers
I,
wouldn't
have
any
rules
and
regulations
on
opening.
If
a
business
wants
to
open,
let
them
open
what
is
it
for
us
to
micromanage
and
metal
to
tell
them
their
business
should
open
and
the
rules
have
so
many
holes
already
in
it.
A
pharmacy
can
open
a
cinema
restaurant.
Yet
you
know
a
grocery
store
can't.
F
So
you
know
we
want
to
unshackle
the
the
ties
of
the
business
community
and
allow
them
to
make
their
best
judgment
in
consultation
with
their
employees
who
have
every
right
under
the
law
to
say
they
don't
want
to
work
that
particular
day
and
make
time-and-a-half
they
want
to
spend
time
with
their
families,
and
so
I
would
encourage
members
to
support
this.
As
one
of
the
speakers
said,
it's
going
to
create
a
flood.
Well,
this
is
the
first
application
in
15
years.
F
This
is
a
trickle,
not
a
flood
of
applications
and
I
think
our
staff
have
done
their
due
diligence.
They
brought
forward
the
process
we're
following
provincial
law,
and
my
hope
is
that
we
pass
this
and
it
really
allows
Lansdowne
to
fulfill
even
more
of
its
potential
as
a
tourism
destination.
Point
there's
no
question
I
think
his
counsellor
I
think
churna
Shenko
mentioned.
F
You
know
the
snowman
contest,
yet
there
probably
weren't
a
lot
of
tourists
at
that,
but
I
tell
you
when
it
showed
up
in
the
front
page
or
not
the
front
page
page,
seven
or
eight
of
The,
Globe
and
Mail,
with
a
picture
of
councillor
hubely
and
Tierney,
measuring
the
snowmen
that
was
great
coverage
for
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
TD
place.
I
was
very
jealous
that
your
picture
was
and
I
just
left
right
before
I
had
psyched
are
in
that
hubely
hit.
That's
right,
so
I
think
look
at
this.
There's
good
arguments
on
both
side.
F
F
There
are
a
fair
number
of
empty
storefronts
folks,
and
that
is
a
sign
of
the
times
and
I
think
we
have
to
do
what
we
can
to
ensure
business
can
thrive,
can
hire
the
employees
and
to
create
the
economic
opportunities
for
our
city
and
alright
police
said
that
polish
polski
so
set
up
all
Sansa,
be
a
pro
l'état.
C'est
la
première
fois
upon
dark,
a
Zonk
group
in
Zack,
the
Mondale
I
will
pour
permission,
do
feel
poor,
don't
live
accounts
and
I.
Think
it's
a
reasonable
request.
K
F
E
Mr.
mayor
and
think
he
colleagues
to
your
point
mr.
mayor,
this
has
been
an
ongoing
as
she
since
1991
I'm,
not
going
to
delve
too
deeply
into
it.
We're
not
seeking
that
I
or
the
community
to
to
oppose
this
lease
ten
years
with
the
potential
four
to
five
year.
Extensions
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
is
with
a
bit
of
trepidation
that
we
do
so
and
I
just
want
to
put
it
on
the
record
back
in
1991
1996.
E
Our
official
plans
spoke
at
that
time
to
the
reversion
of
the
reskin
lot
back
to
open
space
and
even
a
city
park.
While
we
work
through
the
potential
move
by
the
Civic
Hospital
I
just
wanted
to
put
it
on
the
record
that
I
and
the
community
will
continue
to
seek
a
mechanism
to
get
a
commitment
from
the
city
that,
when
this
lot
is
no
longer
used
for
a
parking
that
it
will
revert
to
open
space
and
hopefully
a
park
and
further
that
it
is
not
intended
to
be
parking
in
perpetuity.
E
So
I
wanted
to
put
that
on
the
record,
also
on
behalf
of
the
community
and
the
accessibility
community.
Particularly,
there
has
been
an
ongoing
issue
for
I
want
to
call
it
eight
months,
nine
months
with
respect
to
an
accessibility
ramp
at
the
site.
My
hope
is
that
the
solidification
of
this
lease
is
going
to
result
in
finally
working
with
the
hospital
to
ensure
that
the
accessible
is
opened
as
quickly
as
possible.
E
Finally,
mr.
mayor
I
do
have
a
question
of
staff.
It
was
raised
to
me
by
the
Civic
Hospital
Neighborhood
Association
this
morning,
who
I
want
to
thank
by
the
way
for
their
engagement
through
this
process.
The
grassy
berm
that
is
around
the
site
can
attract.
Litter
can
get
into
a
little
bit
of
disrepair,
but
where
the
grass
is
not
growing
becoming
unsightly
in
these,
who
has
the
responsibility
