We
have
a

and
people
that
would
like
to
speak
on
that
and
we'll
go
back
to
our
first
item
that
we
have
mister
Cadillac
s
is
going
to
give
us
a
brief
overview
of
the
proposal
before
us
with
respect
to
lebreton,
and
then
we
have
mr.
Richard
Heder
director
community
relations
building
and
constructions
trade
council
who
would
like
to
speak
to
it
good.
B
There's,
a
willingness
by
the
NCC
an
out
rlg
to
recognize
the
importance
of
city
of
ATO
is
an
interested
party
to
the
negotiations.
Therefore,
this
report
is
is
asking
committee
and
council,
the
mayor
and
the
city
manager.
We
provided
with
a
mandate
to
participate
in
the
NCC's
commercially
confidential
negotiations
were
the
preferred
proponent
and,
if
possible,
negotiate
an
agreement
in
principle
with
respect
to
the
city's
role
in
the
project.
The
report
recommends
the
pencils
and
interests
that
will
govern
the
city's
participation
on
the
understanding
decisions
resulting
from
these
negotiations.
B
The
mandate
is
designed
to
be
specific
enough
to
provide
clear
direction
with
respect
to
the
parameters,
while
still
being
broad
enough
to
allow
the
mayor
and
myself
the
needed
flexibility
to
negotiate
within
a
dynamic
environment
in
which
a
city
is
not
a
partner.
The
recommended
principles
for
the
city's
participation
are
as
follows:
one
the
redevelopment
of
site
needs
to
reflect
the
goals
and
intent
of
the
city
of
Otto's
official
plan,
transportation
and
infrastructure
master
plans,
pedestrian
and
cycling
plans,
affordable
housing
targets
than
any
other
relevant
city
building.
B
Policies
to
city
taxpayers
must
be
protected
as
part
of
any
agreement
in
principle,
three
role:
clarification
must
be
provided
for
any
public
realm
components
for
ongoing
federal
government
participation
must
be
present
five.
We
need
to
coordinate
the
bill,
taking
the
Federation
the
number
of
projects
in
and
around
that
site
and
any
progress
of
moving
the
NHO
progress.
Franchise
to
the
downtown
arena
would
certainly
affect
the
West
End
communities
and
the
CTC
Center.
B
There
are
no
financial
implications
related
to
the
negotiation
stage.
However,
any
ingredient
in
principle
related
to
the
financial
implications,
potential
financial
implication
for
the
city
on
Palmer,
Grail,
mass
spec
to
the
plan,
ie
roads,
sewers
parks
or
the
use
of
any
other
eligible
financial
tools
would
be
subject
to
standard
city
processes
and
brought
forward
to
committee
and
Council
for
the
consideration
as
part
of
a
report.
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
great.
A
C
Good
morning,
mr.
mayor
vice-chair
city
manager
councillors,
ladies
and
gentlemen
of
the
gallery,
I'm
pleased
to
be
joined
here
this
morning
with
managers
from
the
bricklayers
mr.
Oliver
Swan,
the
Rovers
and
sheetmetal
workers,
George
Lessard,
the
heat
and
frost
insulators
marks
the
gay
and
the
iron
workers
in
Rodman
Don
Melvin
sitting
behind
me.
C
We
support
the
delegation
of
authority
to
the
mayor
and
city
manager
as
well
as,
hopefully,
a
unanimous
council
vote.
Pardon
me
to
develop
an
agreement
in
principle
that
will
assist
all
parties
to
the
project
and
achieving
common
goals.
This
would
benefit
Ottawa
taxpayers
and
all
Canadians
who
share
in
the
pride
of
a
vibrant
and
growing
nation's
capital.
C
Let
me
tell
you
why
I
support
this
project
to
begin
with
Ottawa
benefits
from
a
highly
skilled,
productive
and
professional
workforce,
very
active
in
building,
maintaining
renovating
residential
commercial,
industrial
and
public
infrastructure
projects.
They
receive
top-notch
training
in
area
training,
centers
to
master
new
materials
and
technologies
in
order
to
complete
large
and
complex
projects
on
time
and
on
budget.
The
20-year
lebreton
build
is
a
four
billion
dollar
project
that
will
generate
an
estimated
22,000
man
years
of
work
or
restated
44
million
hours
of
direct
construction
Labor's.
C
So
someone
in
the
workplace
working
for
40
years
would
work
80
thousand
hours.
Almost
10
percent
of
Canadians
are
employed
in
construction.
However,
each
construction
job
produces
about
seven
supplementary
jobs
in
other
industries,
ranging
from
manufacturing
and
distribution
to
hospitality
and
financial
services.
If
these
percents
were
applied
to
auto
demographics
than
the
lebreton
flats,
redevelopment
project
could
or
would
generate,
probably
closer
to
one
hundred
and
fifty
four
thousand
jobs
over
the
20-year
multi-phase
construction
schedule.
C
A
vibrant
and
disciplined
construction
industry
not
only
ensures
the
health
of
our
economy
but
supports
and
supplies
good
jobs
and
widespread
prosperity
for
many
Ottawa
taxpayers.
According
to
STATS
Canada,
almost
eleven
jobs
are
created
for
each
one
million
dollars
invested
in
non-residential
construction.
Using
these
factors,
then
6.22
of
those
jobs
would
be
direct,
meaning
work
stemming
directly
from
constructing
the
building.
C
2.78
of
these
jobs
are
indirect,
meaning
work
stemming
from
increased
activity
in
related
industries
such
as
material
suppliers,
fabricators
and
so
on.
1.9
for
these
jobs
are
induced,
meaning
work
stemming
from
the
first
two
sources,
plus
additional
work
generated
throughout
the
economy,
so
the
Breton
Flats
project,
mr.
mayor,
will
mean
a
lot
to
the
in
destruction
industry
as
well
as
other
industries
and
businesses
in
Ottawa.
A
D
E
Mr.
mayor,
the
lebreton
flats
secondary
plan
is
almost
an
ancient
document
in
our
planning
hierarchy
and
we
imagine
that
at
such
time
as
the
NCC
has
reached
a
point,
a
milestone
in
their
negotiations
with
the
proponent
that
they
can
proceed,
that
the
proponent
would
be
seeking
a
new
secondary
plan
through
an
official
plan.
Amendment
which
would
allow
us
to
go.
We'd
also
have
rezoning
and
all
of
the
other
downstream
planning
applications.
That
would
come
forward.
Sure.
E
Mr.
mayor,
it's
a
little
early
to
to
have
an
answer
that
question,
but
it
is
a
very
large
block
of
land
and
we
imagine
that
once
the
secondary
plan
is
put
in
place,
there
would
be
some
sort
of
division
of
the
land
in
components
and
there
would
be
various
agreements
and
requirements
through
site
plan
or
subdivision
or
whatever
mechanism
we
have
at
the
time.
So
a
little
similar
like
to
know
for
sure,
though
I.
D
Think
as
we
approach
that
consideration
I
appreciate
that
still
probably
some
time
away,
subdivisions
have
significant
amount
of
delegated
authority
that
a
local
councillor
and
decisions
that
are
made
during
that
process
never
come
to
Planning
Committee
or
even
the
full
council,
and
can
have
enormous
potential
financial
impact
on
all
taxpayers.
So
how
are
we
going
to
in
line
with
the
spirit
of
the
report
today,
which
is
to
protect
taxpayers?
D
E
Mr.
mayor
I
think
that
secondary
planning
process
the
update
it
will
give
us
a
good
opportunity
to
take
a
look
at
how
those
issues
will
play
out
and
if
that's
that
time
committee
would
wish
to
give
us
direction
on
any
of
those
matters,
we
can
take
it
and
ensure
it
there.
You
know
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
planning
between
now
and
then
there
were
lots
of
opportunities
to
raise
these
questions
again.
Okay,.
D
E
Mr.
mayor
I
think
at
this
stage
of
the
game
we
really
don't
know
it's.
The
negotiations
are
still
in
the
commercial
confidential
stage,
I
think
at
such
time
as
the
NCC
has
a
deal,
one
could
expect
a
multi-year
planning
process
I
think
publicly
the
proponents,
the
preferred
proponents,
have
expressed
a
desire
to
move
reasonably
expeditiously
through
our
process
once
they
have
reached
their
deal
with
the
NCC.
But
you
know
this
is
not
something
that
will
happen
overnight.
That's.
F
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions
around
the
communications
back
to
committee
and
council
and
the
decision-making
process
so
on
when
you're
talking
about.
What's
going
to
happen
to
the
Senators
current
home
and
Arena,
there
is
a
reference
to
getting
back
to
West
End
councillors
with
this
garden.
I
think
that's,
that's
completely
appropriate.
My
my
question
is,
though,
at
some
point
to
do
those
discussions
come
back
to
full
committee
and
council
for
discussion
and
approval
in
the
same
way
that
the
deliberate
flats
piece
would.
B
Well,
I
would
think
first
of
all,
those
discussions
will
be
will
fall
in
line
after
the
the
final
package
and
agreement
has
been
brought
forward
to
Council
on
lebreton.
But
then
that's
when
you
actually
have
an
issue
with
CTC.
There
could
be
some
parallel
discussions
near
the
end,
but
my
my
view
on
it
going
forward
is
that
that
site
will
be
another
planning
file
effectively.
That
will
come
back
through
regular
city
processes,
because
I
can
only
imagine
that
whatever
I
don't
know
what
their
plans
are
yet
for
it.
But
it
would
imagine
some
point.
F
A
Asked
adds
that,
to
your
point
counselor
it
was
councillors
Kadri,
who's
Ward,
the
CTC
is
in
and
councillors
you
bleed
Wilkinson
and
Ellison
Terry,
who
all
share
in
the
positive
economic
opportunities
that
the
ctc
brings
with
it
and
I
felt.
It
was
important
that
we
put
that
as
part
of
the
discussion,
even
though
it's
not
directly
it
related
to
lebreton,
it
will
have
an
impact.
A
Obviously
the
arena
moves
downtown
and
I
thought
it
was
important
that
we
at
least
have
a
discussion,
even
though
it's
outside
of
our
realm
of
responsibilities,
it's
a
private
property
owner
on
private
property,
but
as
the
city
manager
said,
we
will
have
you
know
if
they
decide
to
change
it
or
modify
and
so
on,
there'll
be
a
planning
component
in,
but
certainly
it
was
my
desire
to
have
keep
those
councillors
most
directly
impacted
in
form,
but
then
to
bring
any
change
or
any
significant
move
back
to
committee
and
council.
So.
F
B
F
And
then
and
then
finally,
you
use
the
term
any
decisions
and
I
just
want
clarity
here,
because
we
had
situations.
We
have
a
situation
right
now,
where
committee
and
council
were
told
that
any
changes
related
to
REO,
Carlton
Raceway
would
be
coming
back
to
committee
and
council,
and
yet
we
have
a
situation
where,
in
fact,
that's
not
happening
or
an
expansion
of
the
number
of
tables
is
going
through
the
Committee
of
adjustments
without
any
input
or
involvement
or
decision-making
by
committee
or
Council.
F
So
when
you
use
the
term
any
I
just
want
clarity
that
you
will
be
coming
back
to
us
for
our
approval
or
discussion
and
approval
on
anything
affecting
the
project
that
will
Breton
and
it
won't
be
going
to
another
agency
and
other
board
another
committee
outside
of
our
jurisdiction.
Unless
federal
law
requires
it
obviously,
but
in
general,
that
you
will
be
coming
back
to
us
with
everything
for
mr.
B
Mayor
the
the
the
plan
would
be
to
bring
back
the
entire
agreement,
the
financial
implications
and
all
the
other
components
of
the
agreement
to
to
finalize
the
ability
to
move
this
forward,
but
it
also
has
to
enter
the
planning
process
as
part
of
the
as
part
of
the
go
forward
from
any
agreement.
So
what
happens
in
the
planning
process?
Is
you
describe
another?
B
Another
example
is
still
subject
to
the
nuances
of
how
a
way
as
site
gets
developed,
but
our
intention
is
to
bring
back
an
entire
package
that
puts
in
front
of
Council
the
financial
implications.
The
proposals
in
terms
of
how
this
would
get
built
out,
the
all
the
public
realm,
all
the
components
that
are
in
here,
so
that
you
have
that
completely
in
front
of
you.
Okay,.
A
G
First
of
all,
we're
talking
about
different
subject
altogether
here
and
secondly,
any
any
process.
If
you
want
a
challenge,
a
go
ahead,
challenge
it,
but
I
mean
the
Committee
of
judgment
is
operate
arm-length
from
counsel.
Why
are
you
putting
the
oath
on
us
to
deal
with
that
for
a
lawyer,
I
thought
you
would
know
this.
F
I'm
I'm
not
putting
the
onus
on
us
if
I
can
respond
to
that.
Mr.
Mara
for
the
owners
really
onus
on
that
counselor.
What
I'm
saying
is
we
all
left
committee
and
council
with
the
understanding
that
any
changes
in
the
number
of
tables
will
be
brought
back
to
us
for
consideration
and
and
that
that's
where
the
question?
F
The
comment
comes
from:
I
want
to
make
sure
that
on
this
project,
which
is
also
at
a
project
that
impacts
on
the
whole
city,
that
clarity
is
there
that
that
information
and
communications
will
flow
back
and
forth
between
mr.
Kendall
axes,
office
and
and
and
this
committee
and
council
and
and
I'm
quite
pleased
with
the
answer
I
got
from
mr.
Cadillac
is
I
think
it
was
clear
it
was
precise
and
it
answered
the
concern
so
I.
Thank
them
for
that.
Okay,.
H
You
mr.
Marin,
thank
you
very
much
for
including
the
West
End
councillors
in
this
important
discussion
about
the
the
land
use
for
the
current
location,
I'm,
hoping
that
that
that
discussion
takes
place
as
part
of
this
whole
agreement
here
and
not
after
this
agreement
is
reached
for
the
simple
reason
that
you
know
when
we
first
had
this
discussion
around
lebreton,
we
were
told
by
the
current
owners
that
within
weeks,
they
were
going
to
release
a
plan
for
what
they
wanted
to
do
in
that
area.
It's
now
almost
a
year
and
nothing's
come
out.
H
My
concern
is
that
they
would
move
ahead
with
lebreton
and
tie
up
that
land
that
a
very
important
piece
of
property
for
the
West
End
tie
it
up
for
years
by
doing
nothing
with
it.
So
I'd
like
to
know
that
there's
some
connection
to
this
final
agreement
to
have
some
sort
of
plan
in
place,
or
at
least
a
good
idea
for
the
residents
and
the
counselors
for
the
west
end
of
what
exactly
is
going
to
be
going
on
there
yeah.
A
I
certainly
can
confirm
that
I've
raised
that
perspective
with
Eugene
Melnick
when
I
last
met
with
them
when
the
NHL
Commissioner
was
here,
I
can't
give
you
that
guarantee,
because
it's
the
balls
in
their
court,
because
it's
their
property
and
they'll
determine
what
they
want
to
do
with
it
when
they
want
to
do
with
it.
But
certainly
you
know
I
would
assume
it's
not
in
his
interest
to
allow
it
to
lay
vacant.
A
He
continues
to
pay
property
taxes
and
operating
costs
and
so
on,
and
you
know
I've
the
reason
why
that
aspect
of
the
CTC
is
in
this
report
is
because
you
and
your
colleagues
and
councilor
Qadri
is
the
host
Ward
have
indicated.
We
want
to
see
something
take
place
there
from
an
economic
development
point
of
view.
What
that
is,
my
understanding
is
that
the
Senators
organization
is
not
landed
on
what
the
next
phase
of
the
ctc's
life
will
hold
for
it.
So
I'll
certainly
relay
that
information
back.
If
this
report
is
passed
by
council,
my.
H
A
Again
that
that's
part
of
the
whole
negotiation
process
with
respect
to
the
brownfields
you'll
notice
that
we
believe
that
the
brownfield
remediation
should
be
the
responsibility
federal
government
believe
there's
a
historic
reason
to
support
them
premise,
because
they,
the
federal
government
back
in
the
50s,
were
the
ones
that
moved
everyone
out
and
bulldoze
the
whole
site.
So
I
firmly
believe
that
it's
responsibly
the
federal
government
to
do
that,
not
from
our
brownfield
program.
That
is
pretty
limited
in
scope.
So.
H
A
We're
looking
at
again,
my
my
view
is
that
this
report
gives
very
clear
direction
that
we
want
to
be
helpful,
but
we
don't
want
to
be
in
the
business
of
providing
direct
grants
to
an
organization.
We
believe
that
if
there's
a
park,
that's
part
of
the
component,
this
is
in
any
development
of
a
park
is
built.
Then
we
have
the
responsibility
to
maintain
a
public
park,
for
instance.
So
that's
a
good
example
where.
B
I
A
A
Know
and
the
other
thing
is
you'll
notice.
We
want
to
follow
some
of
the
successes
of
Lansdowne,
for
instance,
that
your
ticket
is
your
transit
pass
for
a
game
night,
for
instance.
So
that's
part
of
the
discussion
that
we
want
to
have
because
it's
worked
very
well
at
Lansdowne
and
we
we
believe
it
would
do
equally,
as
at
lebreton
Thank,
You,
counselor,
counselor
harder,
please
Thank.
J
You
mr.
Muir
I
would
presume
that
this
very
large
city
building
project,
which
it
is
we're
going
to
have
a
couple
that
we
are
on
the
agenda
right
now
that
we
know
of
the
Civic
trauma
center.
The
emergency
trauma
center
for
Eastern
Ontario
is
going
to
be
another
one
that
will
not
belong
to
the
local
councillor.
Make
no
mistake
about
that.
It
will
not,
in
fact
what
we've
done
on
our
very
large
files
and
I'm
sure
that
mr.
Willis
has
plans
to
go
ahead
in
this
vein
again
is
have
sponsored
groups.
J
The
sponsor
groups
have
been
extremely
effective.
Councillor
Dean's,
you
know
with
our
building
better,
revitalize
neighborhoods.
How
well
that
went.
You
know
what
the
employment
land
study
well,
that
was
before
your
time,
but
we
know
that
Jub
and
councillor
chair
eglee,
has
sat
on
a
chair.
Bleh
have
sat
on
a
chair,
Moffat
is
sat
on
a
chair
hubely.
We
have
all
worked
on
different
sponsor
groups
as
per
our
interest,
and
our
leadership
on
our
particular
out
department.
So
I
would
imagine
and
I
trust
that
that's
actually
what
would
be
happening.
B
Yes,
this
is
a
this
is
a
large
city
building
project.
Certainly
the
the
ward
councillor
would
be
engaged,
as
you
would
imagine,
as
part
of
any
planning
process,
but
council
can
also
determine
once
we
get
to
that.
That
point
of
the
past,
the
confidential
negotiations,
we
bring
back
the
agreement
principle.
Council
certainly
has
the
authority
to
create
a
sponsors
group
that
may
reflect
a
cross-section
of
council
to
steer
this
project
with
staff
through
the
process,
because.
J
What's
more
important,
I
think
than
anything
else?
Is
we
don't
have
this
derailed
by
a
particular
interests
of
a
counselor
and
I?
Think
that
if
you
take
into
account
what
happened,
what
could
have
happened
had
that
been
the
way
with
the
land
stone
project
and
where
that
would
have
gone
sliding
very
quickly
away
from
where
it
should
have
been
I
mean
we
need
to
look
at
the
fact
that
the
economic
development,
the
impact
of
investments
in
our
community,
another
one's
going
to
be
the
Rideau
Carleton
for
sure
it
will
be.
J
But
we
all
have
to
recognize
that
some
of
us
have
strengths
that
other
ones
don't
I
recognize
that
with
myself
for
sure,
I
hope
that
all
of
you
do
we're
not
the
best
at
everything
and
in
fact,
in
this
case,
with
thee,
if
you
think
about
the
NCC
sponsor
group
that
had
I
think
counter
deputy
mayor
Taylor,
chair
egg
Lyon,
chair
bleh
involved
with
the
NCC
for
the
park
for
the
park
way
that
went
very
very
well.
We
had
the
right
people
at
the
table.
J
Take
another
one
right
now
that
I've
been
waiting
a
long
time
to
have
come
forward.
900,
Albert
and
I
would
say
that
we
have
lost
money
on
economic
development
on
that
project
because
of
delays
that
have
happened
over
the
past
two
years
and
longer.
So,
let's
be
smart
about
this.
Let's
be
looking
at
the
opportunity
that
it
brings
to
this
city
how
1950
it
was
lebreton
I
mean
like
almost
my
entire
life.
It's
been
bereft
of
vital
life.
J
Vital
action
in
a
perfect
place
in
our
city
I
go
back
to
them
a
gala
that
the
Ottawa
Public
Library
had
at
the
National
Art
Gallery,
probably
about
eight
years
ago
and
moisture
Softee
was
the
guest
speaker
and
after
he
spoke,
and
it
was
in
the
building
that
he
had
designed
architectural
II,
and
he
was
asked
a
question.
If
you
had
the
opportunity
to
do
something
in
this
city,
what
would
would
that
be?
He
said:
you're
not
taking
advantage
of
your
waterways.
K
You
and
okay
well
I,
just
want
to
be
clear
what
we're
going
to
hear,
because
what
I
heard
mister
Cadillac
is
say
is
that
the
West
End
councillors
will
be
included
in
a
timely
fashion
in
the
discussions
and
I
agree
with
that.
I
think
that's
fair
and
reasonable,
and
the
right
thing
to
do,
because
obviously
the
West
End
is
impacted.
But
what
I
didn't
hear
mr.
calico
say
is
that
the
councillor
responsible
for
lebreton
would
be
involved
in
a
timely
fashion.
Fact.
K
B
K
I
mean
I
think
a
sponsor
group
is
always
a
good
idea.
I
think
it
as
councillor
harder
pointed
out.
I
think
it
has
worked
very
well.
I
have
no
problem
with
that,
but
I
think
to
the
extent
possible
keeping
in
touch
with
the
ward
councillor
on
something
like
this,
because
obviously
it
has
a
huge
impact
on
that.
K
Ward
is
a
reasonable
thing
for
that
councillor
to
expect
as
part
of
this
negotiation,
if
it's
confidential,
fine
I'm
sure
she
can
keep
it
confidential,
but
I'm
just
worried
about
the
sense
that
I'm
getting
that
the
West
End
councilors
will
be
involved
in
those
negotiations
with
CT
centre
but
and
lebreton
there's
a
different
set
of
rules
on
it.
It
concerns
me.
L
It's
that
sense
that
we're
being
steamrollered
that
gets
people
going
as
far
as
court
cases
and
opposition
groups,
and
that
starts
with
the
councillor
it
starts
with,
knowing
that
their
local
councillor
is
very
involved
not
to
the
point
of
confidential
negotiations
when
nobody
else
should
be
in
the
room.
But
at
every
other
point
yes,
and
that's
what
I
take
away
from
the
whole
Lansdowne
incident,
other
words
could
be
used.
L
It
is
that
you
know
you
you,
you
back
people
against
the
wall,
feeling
like
hey
I'm,
the
one
most
affected.
I
know.
It's
for
the
greater
good
of
the
city,
but
I'm
the
one
most
affected
and
I'm
not
being
heard,
and
you
end
up
with
a
much
longer
more
angst-ridden,
more
expensive
process
than
you
might
have
got
in
the
first
place.
L
It
would
come
so
that's
the
most
important
thing
for
us
is
that
we
we
know
that
that
will
still
come,
that
it
won't
somehow
slip
by
us,
and
you
never
had
the
chance
to
ask
those
those
key
questions.
So
I
think
that
relates
to
all
of
these
projects,
lebreton,
which
is
doing
the
item
that
we're
we're
discussing
right
now,
knowing
that,
yes,
you
will
have
that
opportunities
is
critical.
That's
what
we're
here
for.
I
You
much
mr.
Muir
and
good
morning.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
this
process,
especially
coming
you
know,
with
the
delegation
to
yourself
and
to
mr.
Kenna
lacus
going
forward.
My
concerns
are
related
to
more
so
to
what
may
happen
with
the
CTC
I
know.
That's
a
discussion
to
be
had
later
on
between.
You
know
the
three
of
you
in
terms
of
the
two
here
and
the
proponent.
Having
said
that,
I
want
to
make
it
very
clear
that
the
current
community
that's
already
existing.
I
There
is
thoroughly
consulted
with
what
whatever
is
chosen
for
CTC
existing
the
reason
why
I
say
that
and
I
go
back
to
constituent
Schenker's
point
that
I
don't
want
the
community
to
feel
that
they
were
left
out
of
the
discussion
in
any
way,
shape
or
form
and
I.
Think
that
is
the
key
for
that
community,
because
this
community
is
developed
over
the
last
10
about
12
years
around.
It
are
on
the
CTC,
Center
and
they've
got
concerns
already
in
terms
of
some
of
the
issues
that
have
arisen
and
I
just
want
to
talk
to
mr.
I
Wallace
on
this
that
any
future
planning
application
that
come
for
that
area,
that
the
re
transformation
of
Canadian
Tire
Center
be
considered
before
approving
or
before
going
forward
with
a
particular
application
along
with
chair
hardier,
that
the
intentions
of
the
CTC,
whatever
they
happen
to
be,
are
considered
into
those
new
processes.
A
new
application
for
development
before
the
development
applications
put
forward,
whether
it's
discussion
with
the
Canada
West
owners
group,
the
current
landowners,
as
well
as
the
CTC,
as
well
as
the
City
Council.
So
I
just
want
to
get
that
clarification
from
mr.
I
E
Mr.
mayor
is
very
premature
to
talk
about
what
the
future
use
of
the
CTC
will
be,
that
those
discussions
haven't
happened
yet,
but
the
city
has
clearly
said
that
in
in
discussing
the
future
of
lebreton
flats
redevelopment,
we
want
this
issue
on
the
table
at
that
time
and
I.
Think
the
city
manager
and
the
mayor
will
certainly
take
these
comments
forward.
That
have
been
raised
by
all
of
the
West
End
councillors
to
ensure
that
a
viable
plan
is
brought
forward
for
the
CTC
site.
E
I
You
very
much
for
that
mr.
Willis,
but
my
again
I'm
going
to
put
my
concern
on
the
table
this
morning
that
I
know
it
may
be
too
soon
to
talk
about
those
issues,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
vacant
land
in
and
around
CTC,
and
there
will
be
applications
coming
forward
for
those
developments.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
when
those
applications
come
forward.
The
future,
whatever
that
use,
is,
is
contained
into
consideration
before
we
approve
those
new
development
application
in
a
community.
That's
already
housing.
I
Almost
you
know
eight
to
ten
thousand
people
that
are
living
around
that
area.
So
I
just
want
to
make
that
point
mr.
mayor
and
wish
you
all
the
best
with
your
negotiations-
and
you
know
the
council
needs
to
be
apprised
of
those
negotiations
on
an
ongoing
basis,
as
well
as
obviously
the
West
End
councillors.
Thank
you
very
much.
M
M
I
have
the
similar
concerns
to
kill
us
a
character,
because
my
ward
is
waiting
across
the
wayans
way
from
there,
and
the
residents
of
Arkady
have
already
had
a
lot
of
problems
because
of
that
does
she
with
their
access
and
things
like
that,
but
we've
talked
to
you
about
before
they
one
of
the
things
I
was
there
when
the
Keith,
the
Canadian
Tire
Center
was
built.
I
was
on
the
kinetic
Council
at
the
time,
and
we
went
through
this
whole
process
with
them.
One
of
the
things
I
think
is
really
important
in
this
one.
M
To
follow
that
same
way
is
that
we
didn't
have
a
lot
of
money
in
Kanata
just
like
we
have
no
money
left
now
because
he
spent
our
capital
money.
Mostly,
everything
was
done
was
done
as
it
was
a
new
development.
This
is
a
new
development,
so
I
think
it
should
be
following
the
same
procedure
as
we
do
with
other
new
developments
that
are
more
greenfield
areas
and
that
the
any
new
roads
are
paid
for
by
them,
possibly
through
a
new
development
charge.
For
that
same
thing
with
new
services.
M
All
of
these
things
in
the
new
developments
the
developer
has
for
directly
mouths,
some
of
them
and
other
ones
through
development
charges
with
me.
90%
comes
from
that
area.
So
in
that
your
discussions,
I'm
hoping
that
you
will
make
sure
that
they
understand
that,
because
they're
going
to
need
new
infrastructure
there,
that
they
have
a
responsibility
to
be
paying
for
that,
and
they
can
do
it
in
different
ways
and
I'm.
M
Okay
with
that,
but
I
don't
want
to
see
the
city
getting
stuck
with
millions,
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
of
new
infrastructure
because
of
this
development.
That
means
the
different
additional
revenue.
You're
going
to
get
from
taxes
would
be
all
used
up
for
that
for
20
or
30
years.
We
no
other
benefit,
but
so
let
me
cost
with
this
new
development,
and
we
have
to
have
some
tax
revenue
coming
in
to
do
that.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
you
thought
that
one
through
yet
how
you're
going
to
handle
the
development
aspect
of
it.
M
But
I
just
ask
that
you
keep
that
in
mind
and
that
you,
let
us
know
how
things
are
going.
I
think
what
councillor
Dean's
is
frocky,
but
a
little
bit
of
some
interim
reports,
but
not
on
the
confidentiality
aspects,
but
on
things
that
you
can
bring
forward
on
some
principles.
I
think
Council
would
benefit
by
hearing
as
it
goes
along
and
not
wait
till
the
very
end
and
suddenly
be
surprised,
which
can
sometimes
happen.
N
Basically,
what
we're
saying
is
we're
giving
direction
to
continued
dialogue
as
a
correct
so,
and
the
report
also
states
that,
once
the
dialogue
has
been
completed
with
all
the
groups,
it
comes
back
to
committee
and
council
I
find
it
surprising
that
you
know
we
start
questioning
about
the
West
End
cancers
being
involved
and
the
ward
councillors
the
West
End
cancers
from
what
I
understand
is.
They
are
the
indefinite
interest
because
they
have
a
piece
of
property
that
could
be
affected
by
yes
in
the
future
and
they
need
to
know
how
they
implant
out
and
what's.
N
It
happened
with
that
piece
of
property
and
how
to
mess
use
it.
As
far
as
the
urban
council
goes
on,
the
road
councilor
see
flashbacks
of
a
limestone
park
debate
we're
going
to
be
locked
down.
If
we
have
debate
at
committee
and
council,
that's
where
the
ward
councillor
would
be
involved
in
the
process
no
way
do
I
want
to
see
another
example
of
limestone
where
we
start
micromanaging
every
moral
single
decision
that
goes
through
this
project.
N
This
project
we
are
earlier
from
Richard
Heder
and
the
young
men
and
trades
how
important
it
is
to
the
future
of
our
city.
We
need
to
move
forward
in
a
progressive
way
and
not
nitpicking
at
every
single
decision.
I
think.
Once
we
see
it
the
dialogue
completed,
then
we
have
the
discussion
that
committee
and
council
and
then
we
may
you
know
where
any
questions
that
we
have
that's
the
place
to
add
those
questions
and
I.
Guess
that's
more
of
a
statement
and
the
question.
Thank
you,
sir
excuse.
A
Me
an
IQ

Minette

then
we'll
ask
the
public
delegations
who
wish
to
come
forward
to
speak
to
account.
Sir
Moffat,
please.
D
Thank
you
very
much.
As
the
mayor
mentioned,
it's
a
it's
just
a
motion
that
fixes
a
person
error.
So,
whereas,
after

D
J
D
J
A
O
Morning,
mr.
mayor
committee,
members,
mr.
Kent
lacus,
my
name
is
Rob
Pierce
I'm.
Vice
president
planning
development
with
Tomlinson
sitting
with
me
to
my
right,
is
Craig
Bellinger,
who
is
Tomlinson's
Environment
and
land
project
manager.
He
handles
all
of
our
quarry
environmental
compliance
applications
etc.
So
is
a
very
well-versed
in
in
quarry
operations
before
I
start,
perhaps
I'll
just
ask
Craig
if
we
can
go
to
the
slide,
which
shows
the
land
in
question
I'm
here
today.
O
The
Tomlinson
quarry
is
located
just
east
of
that
and
stretches
all
the
way
over
to
Moody,
and
you
can
see
it's
it's
outlined
in
red.
So
that's
that's
the
area
that
we're
talking
about
when
I'm
speaking
as
well.
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
road
allowance
which
is
shown
to
the
north
and
is
labeled
as
such
as
road
allowance,
that's
an
unopened
Road
allowance
and
the
buts,
the
green
belt
to
the
north
and
our
quarry
to
the
South.
O
So,
as
stated
in
the
report,
the
city
is
acquiring
those
lands
for
the
future
traffic
circle
and
I'm
here
to
advise
mr.
chair.
Mr.
mayor,
the
and
the
commedia
Tomlinson
has
been
working
with
city
staff
on
this
for
some
time
now
and
that,
in
parallel
with
the
expropriation
item
where
that
is
before
the
community
today,
we're
in
discussions
with
the
Real
Estate
Group
to
see
if
we
can
arrive
at
a
mutually
satisfactory
negotiated
deal.
O
So
Tomlinson
is
interested
in
working
in
a
cooperative
manner
with
the
city
to
help
see
this
important
piece
of
infrastructure
built
in
2018
related
to
the
turning
circle
and
the
overall
project.
There's
three
main
points
that
I'd
like
to
bring
to
the
committee's
attention
today:
the
location
of
the
term.
The
new
turning
circle
is
at
the
westerly
entrance
to
Tomlinson's
quarry
today.
The
entrance,
as
you
see
it,
if
you
were
to
drive
by,
is
very
obvious
that
it's
not
a
public
road.
It's
gated
and
signed
as
such.
O
The
second
item
that
I'd
like
to
bring
out
is
typically
mineral
extraction,
requires
a
30
meter,
setback
from
roads
or
rights-of-way,
the
Hope
Side
Road
old,
Richmond
Road.
Future
turning
circle
is
shown
as
needing
at
most
about
40
meters
of
depth
of
tomlinson
land.
That's
presently
designated
in
the
Official
Plan
as
a
lime,
storm
resource
area
and
zoned
for
mineral
extraction.
Thus,
by
taking
this
40
metres,
it
in
fact
increases
any
future
setbacks
by
that
distance.
O
Any
future
quarry
site
plans
and
setbacks
would
be
subject
to
review
by
the
Ministry
of
Natural
Resources
to
help
mitigate
this
increased
setback
and
lost
the
future
extraction
of
the
finite
aggregate
resource
and
the
city.
As
you
know,
this
quarry
is
located
very
close
to
a
lot
of
you
know.
Ongoing
infrastructure
needs.
I
would
like
to
ask
the
committee
to
direct
staff
to
support
a
future
request
by
Tomlinson
to
the
Ministry
of
Natural
Resources
to
a
lesser
setback
than
30
metres.
O
O
With
the
NCC
on
the
future,
just
position
of
the
unopened
Road
allowance
along
the
northern
limit
of
the
quarry
Tomlinson
has
an
interest
in
either
acquiring
this
road
allowance
or
working
with
the
NCC
to
establish
a
licensing
agreement
to
utilize,
either
some
or
all
this
on
open
road
allowance
as
buffer
to
facilitate
quarry
operations.
As
such
I'm
asking
fed
gos
assistance
in
facilitating
these
discussions
between
Tomlinson,
the
NCC
and
city
to
explore
these
options.
O
J
N
D
D
D
That's
about
30
meters
offset
from
the
road
so
that
whenever
vehicles
do
come
in,
if
they
make
a,
they
go
straight
through
or
whatnot,
they
have
the
ability
to
turn
around
and
then
exit
I
think
for
our
design
and
we'd
be
willing
to
work
with
staff
on
this
is
that
we
would
plan
to
have
some
sort
of
gating
system
set
up
further
back
so
that
they
could
turn
around
also
the
way
they
layer
the
way
that
the
site's
laid
out.
There's
a
scale
house.
J
I,
don't
see
this
as
a
big
mountain
to
climb
here.
I
think
that
there's
a
very
easy
solution
and
technology
certainly
would
allow
it
I
mean
even
on
Fallowfield
Road,
where
the
Canadian
Food
Inspection
Agency
is,
if
you
think
about,
they,
have
a
gate.
I
was
there
I
mean
no
one
gets
through
it.
You
can
turn
around
and
I
think
with
proper
signage
that
says
truck
access.
J
H
You
mr.
mayor
I
think
first
off
I
want
to
thank
Thompson
for
other
work
that
they've
done
with
the
city
on
this
particular
file,
because
it's
a
very
important
one
to
the
West
End
councillors
of
the
impacts.
Councilor
Moffitt's
Ward,
my
ward
councillor
Ellie's,
word
councillor
Qadri
Zwarte
and
we're
seeing
this
as
the
future
roadway
that
will
help
people
get
from
the
West
End
into
the
core
of
the
city.
The
reddit,
where
the
red
line
on
that
map
is.
This
is
why
I
think
it's
important
to
support
what
mr.
H
Pierce
is
asking
for,
where
the
red
line
is
on
that
map.
That's
a
future
trail
for
the
NCC.
When
there
was
this
road
work
has
done.
They
have
been
asking
for
a
parking
lot
right
beside
that
in
between
the
road
that
mr.
Pierce
is
talking
about
in
that
red
line.
They're
looking
at
a
parking
lot
there
so
that
people
be
able
to
get
up
and
walk
up
and
down
that
trail.
So
I
agree
with
mr.
Pierce.
H
A
P
P
Mr.
mayor,
essentially,
what
happened
is
typically,
our
reports
are
well
written
and
we
don't
have
to
go
through
this.
Essentially,
what
happened
this
particular
situation?
We
have
a
report,
that's
in
front
of
committee,
we're
asking
for
approval
to
move
forward
to
expropriate.
It
involves
a
to
private
owner
interest
and
we're
also
continuing
to
negotiate
with
one
of
them.
What
actually,
with
both
parties,
including
Thompson,
who
you
just
heard
from,
but
what
happened?
A
P
As
was
mentioned,
we're
negotiating
with
NCC,
so
we
acquire
a
lot
of
lands
from
NCC
in
addition
to
what
you
saw
in
this
plan.
So
essentially,
the
agreement
that
we
made
with
NCC
is
that
we
would
do
it
the
land
tracks
transaction
in
the
way
of
a
land
exchange.
So
we
have
lands
that
they're
interested
in.
We
have
lands
that
we
need
for
this
particular
project,
so
the
whole
thing's
been
put
forward
on
the
basis
of
a
land
exchange
with
NCC
that
unopened
road
allowance
that
mr.
P
Pearce's,
before
referring
to
that's
part
of
what
we
had
ridging
presented
to
NCC
cadets,
a
very
important
on
open
road
allowance
as
part
of
their
future
Network
for
the
pathway
system.
So
based
on
discussions
that
we
had
with
Tomlinson,
we
did
approach
NCC
saying
we
know
that
you're
very
interested
in
this
pathway,
but
also
Thomason,
has
approached
us
about
having
a
setback
so
that
they
can
increase
the
aggregate
to
work
there.
P
D
If
so,
by
getting
the
road
allowance,
the
setbacks
that
the
presentation
a
presenter
was
talking
about,
would
not
be
the
same,
etc
and
would
increase
the
volume
of
aggregate.
Is
there
anything
more
than
we're
doing
today?
That
could
be
beneficial
in
moving
that
particular
point
of
discussion
for
in.
P
H
You
mr.
mayor,
maybe
I'll
just
add
that
through
this
process,
that's
been
going
on
for
several
years
now.
I
think
we
gotta
give
compliments
to
the
NCC,
because
they've
been
a
very
engaged
partner
in
this
process,
and
we
all
hear
horror
stories
of
dealing
with
the
NCC,
but
I
have
to
say
that
this
has
been
a
very
positive
experience
with
the
NCC
and
they've,
been
a
cooperative
partner
and
and
what
a
shared
vision
here.
So,
if
you
don't
mind,
I'd
like
to
take
that
moment
to
thank
them
for
that,
thank.
A
You
so
on
counselor
Moffitt's
motion
carried
on
the
report
is
amended
carried.
Thank
you.
Our
next
item
that
we
have
guests
to
speak
is
planning
infrastructure
and
economic
development
directions
around
aleppo
education.
The
left
is
structure
to
develop
more
economic,
smart
city,
2.0,
Ottawa,
Smart,
City
strategy,
John
Schmitt,
director
of
economic,
doing
long-range
planning,
along
with
Steve
Willis.
Our
GM
have
a
presentation,
and
then
we
have
I
believe
two
delegations
that
would
like
to
speak
to
this
item.
So
mr.
Willis
and
team
the
floor
is
yours.
E
E
E
I
will
also
say
that,
as
part
of
the
digital
innovation
strategy,
we
also
had
support
from
councillors,
Leeper
and
Sher
Ali
as
well,
who
provided
some
input
to
this
process
together
with
our
staff
in
various
departments.
This
strategy
has
benefited
from
the
partnership
of
key
partners
and
the
one
those
key
partnerships
in
this
case
our
invest,
Ottawa
and
Michael
Tremblay.
E
The
CEO
of
invest
Ottawa,
is
here
today
with
us,
as
and
as
part
of
this
presentation
and
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
very
pivotal
contribution
of
hydro
Ottawa
and
the
work
of
Bryce
Conrad
and
mark
Fernandez.
Who
did
a
lot
of
the
groundwork
for
what
we're
presenting
today.
We
also
had
dozens
of
industry,
academic
and
not-for-profit
organizations
providing
input
to
this
input
to
this
process.
Bringing
this
forward
to
you
today
to
outline
our
strategy
is
a
significant
first
step.
This
is
a
broad
overarching
strategy.
E
It
will
guide
our
activities
over
the
next
couple
of
years
and
ensure
that
the
city
maintains
its
competitive
in
the
knowledge-based
economy
of
the
21st
century.
So
I
as
I
said,
this
has
been
a
truly
cross-organizational
effort,
in
addition
to
the
work
that
our
team
so
Donna
grave.
My
colleague
mark
Benedict,
RA
who's,
part
of
our
in
digital
innovation
process,
Michael
Tremblay
as
well.
The
economic
development
staff,
John
Schmitt
and
Shayla
Doherty
and
Madison,
who
is
not
here
today,
have
worked
very
hard
to
bring
this
strategy
forward
to.
E
So,
basically,
as
I
indicated,
smart
city
strategies
are
becoming
a
key
differentiator
that
major
city
regions
are
using
around
the
world
today,
and
it
is
part
of
our
position
for
competitiveness,
but
Ottawa
is
not
starting
from
ground
zero.
We
actually
are
already
a
smart
city,
and
this
is
about
taking
us
to
the
next
level.
E
They
generated
a
background
report
and
we
built
on
that
work
in
partnership,
close
partnership
with
invest
Ottawa
for
what
we
call
the
smart
city
symposium,
and
then
this
strategy
envisages
ongoing
community
and
stakeholder
engagement
going
into
the
future,
and
the
strategy
talks
about
such
initiatives
such
as
a
smart
city,
working
group,
hackathons
and
forums
online
presence
with
on
the
city's
website
in
terms
of
reporting
and
reporting
against
key
performance
and
such
activities
that
invest
auto.
What
continues
to
do
such
as
meet
up
Mondays
at
Bayview.
E
You
know
this.
This
is
important
right
now,
because
we
have
other
cities
that
would
like
to
be
where
Ottawa
is
out
today
and
they
would
like
to
surpass
us
so
to
be
remain
globally,
competitive
and,
and
we
saw
through
the
Amazon
bid
what
that
actually
means
in
terms
of
how
we
can
be
competitive
with
these
knowledge-based
industries.
E
We
need
to
be
able
to
seize
the
opportunities
to
move
forward
and
we
need
to
build
on
our
strengths
and,
as
I
said,
we're
not
starting
from
Ground
Zero
Ottawa
has
an
enormous
history
of
innovation
and
the
entrepreneurship
in
and
around
bringing
technology
to.
The
citizens
goes
back
to
the
turn
of
the
previous
century.
E
Their
1.0
strategies
are
seeking
to
create
what
we
already
have
and
then
we
also
benefit
from
enormous
partnership
potential
with
all
of
the
federal
research
organizations
which
are
based
in
the
region,
in
the
science
of
technology,
agriculture
and
agri-food
sector
and
other
export
oriented
research
programs.
And
then,
although
the
Ottawa
region
also
has
a
number
of
very
important
post-secondary
institutions
who
also
contribute
this,
so
we
want
to
be
an
innovative
city.
E
We
want
to
continue
to
be
among
the
best
places
to
live
in
North
America,
so
that
the
strategy
has
three
key
pillars
to
it:
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
first
two
and
then
I'll
hand
over
to
Donna.
The
first
is
on
the
issue
of
connectivity
and
fundamentally
connectivity
and
bridging
the
digital
divide
is
a
key
community
concern,
and
this
is
our
big
audacious
goal
in
this
strategy.
E
We'll
go
back
and
look
at
strategies
where
we'll
go:
seek
funding
partnerships
like
we've
done
with
natural
gas
recently
from
the
senior
governments,
or
look
at
some
sort
of
arrangement
with
private
sector
to
bring
it
into
other
areas
which
are
not
currently
getting
the
services.
So
this
will
be
a
this
is
a
longer-term
strategy,
but
we
need
to
be
committed
to
this
broad
audacious
goal.
E
The
second
pillar
is
continuing
to
do
the
work
on
creating
the
the
role
of
the
smart
economy,
and
this
is
where
our
partners
invest.
Ottawa
are
quite
critical
in
some
of
the
work
we're
doing
inside
our
own
Economic
Development
Department,
or
are
there
so
we
have
a
knowledge-based
sector
that
is
competing
ferociously
for
talent
with
other
city
regions
in
North
America.
E
We
also
have
some
specialized
activities
going
on,
such
as
a
focus
on
precision
agriculture
to
bring
technology
technological
applications
to
our
rural
based
economy,
which
is
actually
a
very
large
component
of
our
landmass.
We
are
doing
already
autonomous
vehicle
test
tracks,
which
was
shown
quite
recently
and-
and
we
have
a
number
of
innovation
and
pilot
programs
as
well,
that
a
part
of
this
pillar
of
the
organization,
so
this
point
I'll
hand
over
to
Donna.
Q
Innovative
innovative
government
focuses
really
on
hacking,
our
business,
and
what
that
means
is
we're
looking
at
new
in
different
ways
to
think
about
how
we
deliver
our
services
now
and
in
the
future.
It
focuses
on
mobile
services,
data
and
intelligent
infrastructure.
It
contemplates
the
strategy,
contemplates
new
and
different
service
delivery
models,
new
technology
solutions
and
new
and
different
ways
of
engaging
and
working
with
partners
in
our
community
and
doing
this
in
response
to
many
of
the
innovations
being
supported
by
invest,
Ottawa
such
as
autonomous
vehicles
connected
homes,
connected
cards
and
mobile
services.
Q
These
innovations
among
many
are
quickly
changing
how
our
residents
are
interacting
with
their
city
services
today
and
will
in
the
future,
as
well
as
their
expectations
about
service
delivery.
People
now
expect
the
same
level
of
service
from
our
city
that
they
do
with
their
banks
or
other
telecommunication
providers.
This
is
both
a
challenge
and
an
opportunity
for
the
level
of
government
that
has
the
most
direct
impact
on
the
daily
lives
of
citizens
and
also
has
a
most
complex
set
of
network
of
data
and
systems
to
pull
together
and
to
serve
our
residents.
Q
That
is
why
this
council
has
been
at
the
forefront
of
making
investments
and
service
improvements
in
digital
delivery.
So
a
key
focus
of
this
innovative
government
is
to
strive
to
ensure
that
every
business
and
every
citizen
as
the
services
and
receives
the
services
and
the
way
they
want
to
deliver
when
and
where
it's
convenient
to
them.
They
should
see
the
city
not
as
a
collection
of
departments,
but
as
one
service
provider.
Our
service
must
be
easy
to
use
easy
to
navigate
and
simple.
Q
It
is
from
this
lens
that
will
start
to
focus
our
journey
on
digital
service
delivery
of
improvements
moving
forward.
This
brings
me
to
the
second
focus
of
the
strategy,
which
is
around
a
mobile-first
approach.
What
this
means
is
the
ability
for
people
to
interact
with
city
services
from
a
mobile
device
perspective
in
the
context
of
who
they
are
and
where
they
are
to
start.
Q
Well,
we
also
expect
to
pilot
a
chat
function
online,
using
artificial
intelligence,
allowing
residents
to
ask
questions
on-the-go
by
texting
a
virtual
agent
limiting
time
they
need
to
look
on
our
website
or
to
call
our
service
center
in
2018,
we'll
be
developing
a
long-term
roadmap
that
plans
all
of
the
digital
investments
that
we
will
make
so
that
people
can
move
from
services
delivered
in
person
and
paper
to
digital
and
online.
The
third
focus
area,
the
core
is
about
data
and
turning
data
into
insights.
Q
Helping
us
understand
the
patterns
of
service
disruptions
and
the
patterns
of
service
needs
so
that
we
can
be
more
responsive
in
real-time
to
our
residents.
To
do
this,
starting
a
2018
we're
going
to
start
to
expand
our
open
data
program
building
on
over
148
data
sets
we
currently
have
available
and
are
open,
3,
1,
1
API
by
making
more
data
available,
including
visualization
tools,
charts
and
maps.
We
hope
to
make
the
data
that
we
have
at
the
city
more
relevant
to
the
average
person
to,
and
health
services
and
decisions
are
made
at
City
Hall.
Q
We
hope
this
will
continue
to
foster
feedback
and
engagement
by
our
residents.
Innovation
from
developers,
universities
and
others
in
the
community
and
from
the
broad
ecosystem
and
network
that
invest.
Ottawa
is
working
in
partnership
with
the
city
to
develop.
This
is
a
key
asset
we've
to
believe
for
a
smart
city
and
smart
city
services.
The
final
focus
of
the
innovative
government
goal
is
continue
to
build.
Intelligent
infrastructure
improve
how
we
manage
our
resources
and
our
assets
in
the
delivery
of
service.
Q
The
city
is
already
well
instrumented,
with
sensors
on
water
main
street
buildings
and
fleets,
and
we
plan
to
continue
to
make
investments
in
connecting
our
assets
with
the
broader
city
of
city
infrastructure.
As
part
of
efforts
going
forward,
we
will
look
to
expand
Wi-Fi
in
public
spaces
and
fitty
city
facilities.
We
will
GPS
enable
and
sensor
more
of
our
vehicles
and
explore
new
solutions
in
such
areas
as
smart
building,
energy
and
smart
clean
fleet.
Q
Q
So
in
terms
of
next
steps
and
timelines,
what
does
this
mean?
As
we
move
forward
we're
going
to
establish
a
smart
city
working
group
with
the
assistance
of
ambassadora
and
hydro
water
early
in
the
new
year?
This
group
will
help
to
guide
the
development
of
an
action
plan
to
prioritize
the
initiatives
that
we
plan
to
do
over
the
period
of
time.
Moving
forward.
Q
We
will
create
a
measurement
framework,
so
we
can
track
progress
and
implement
the
governance
models
that
the
decisions
are
well
coordinated
and
integrated
across
many
city
departments
and
external
partners
we'll
also
develop
the
mechanism
to
consult
with
the
community
engage
stakeholders
throughout
this
process.
We
know
they
are
interested,
active
and
engaged.
All
of
this
will
lead
to
a
completed
action
plan
by
the
end
of
2018.
We
plan
to
present
that
into
the
next
term
of
council
as
the
priorities
moving
forward
for
councils
can
generation.
A
A
R
R
In
the
last
year,
I've
been
spending
most
of
my
time
actually
doing
volunteer
work,
most
recently
with
Ottawa
Civic
tech
and
the
auto
community
housing
foundation.
My
interest
areas
are
in
civic
engagement,
three
one
one
related
activities,
mapping
OpenStreetMap
and
in
cycling,
so
I'm
very
pleased
to
see
this
report
come
forward
to
council
thinking
about
the
smart
city
plan.
My
concern
is
that
we're
not
actually
moving
quickly
enough
I.
Think
the
the
presenters
talked
before
about
what
other
cities
are
doing
and
the
speed
of
innovation
in
technology.
It
continues
to
increase.
So
we
don't.
R
R
So
Donna
talked
a
lot
about
the
open
data
activities,
so
I
I
want
to
give
a
couple
of
comments
about
my
use
of
the
city's
open
data,
I
heard
from
staff
that
apparently
I'm
the
number
one
user
of
the
3-1-1
API,
but
I
can't
actually
use
it
to
do
anything
yet
because
the
for
example
I
wanted
to
create
a
report
that
shows
how
long
it
takes
to
resolve
a
pothole
related
issue.
So
the
the
city
doesn't
provide
where
the
potholes
are
other
than
the
Warped.
Well,
that's
not
really
helpful.
R
I
really
like
to
know
what
road
the
pothole
was
on
and
then
I've
also
heard
from
city
staff.
After
my
written
report
last
fedko
meeting
that
the
actual
dates
and
times
on
the
service
requests
are
not
actually
accurate,
so
I
think
there's
a
pothole
so
open,
but
maybe
it's
already
resolved.
So
I
can't
generate
a
report
that
says
at
this
intersection.
There
was
miss
number
of
potholes
and
they
took
this
long
to
result.
The
date
is
not
there
so
or
so.
R
R
Furthermore,
I'd
like
the
city
to
adopt
the
open
data
charter,
so
just
like
the
province
of
Ontario
did
earlier
this
year.
The
open
data
charter
principles
are,
there
are
six
of
them.
They
are
open
by
default,
timely
and
comprehensive,
accessible
and
usable,
comparable
and
interoperable
for
improved
governance
and
citizen
engagement
and
for
inclusive
development
and
innovation.
R
J
R
J
J
And
yes,
you
know
this,
isn't
what
I
would
consider
to
be
Jan
harder
time,
but
then
my
Jan
harder
time
is
like
different
than
most
other
people,
probably
but
I
get
what
your
your
sense
of
excitement
and
urgency
is
what's
driving
that
so
I
think
if
I'm
looking
at
our
two
general
managers,
if
we
can
we,
if
we
can
make
advancements
earlier,
we
certainly
will.
Am
I
right
Miss.
J
A
N
You
so
it
wasn't
really
necessarily
coming
in
with
a
question
but
really
wanted
to
show
that
private
sector
has
is
his
far
advanced
in
this
area.
So
you
know
I
work
with
CGI.
We
actually
already
have
many
many
smart
city
solutions
in
other
cities
in
Europe
in
particular,
and
so
I
really
wanted
to
understand
how
we
engage
with
you
know
the
smart
city,
working
groups
or
committees,
so
that
we
can
help
accelerate
this
for
Ottawa.
N
A
H
A
S
So,
thank
you.
Mr.
mayor,
my
name
is
Miranda
gray
I'm
a
resident
of
Ward
1
and
like
Matthew
I,
have
been
involved
in
IT
for
20
years
and
involved
in
this
city
for
just
slightly
more
than
that.
So
if
you
go
ahead
to
the
next
line,
my
worry
here
with
this
report
is
that
we
are
being
a
bit
pride
before
fall.
S
2010
is
a
generation
ago
into
in
tech
years.
Yes,
we
were
in
the
top
seven
in
2010,
but
we
didn't
return
to
the
top
21
until
2016
for
the
same
organization,
and
there
are
several
other
Canadian
jurisdictions
that
have
left
ahead
in
that
time.
So
we
have
great
potential
for
the
city,
but
we
can
miss
the
window
if
we
wait
too
long
and
wait
for
a
perfect
plan
and
ideal
timing-
and
that
is
my
worry
here.
S
That
is
my
concern
with
this
report-
is
that
it
is
not
adequate
for
decision
making
at
this
time
if
you
could
go
ahead
again.
This
report
has
lots
of
great
ideas.
It's
a
wonderful
review
of
the
history
of
our
track
record,
but
it
does
not
provide
a
firm
roadmap
for
our
picture.
It's
a
good
historical
summary
of
some
initiatives,
but
it
doesn't
miss
some
critical
initiatives
in
the
city,
some
partners,
some
players
and
some
stakeholders
in
this
area.
S
For
example,
it
talks
about
connections
and
broadband
across
the
city,
but
it
makes
no
mention
of
the
initiative
between
Ottawa
community
housing
partners
and
the
national
capital
Freenet,
which
was
a
prominent
event
that
this
council
was
involved
in
supporting
it
also
doesn't
mention
any
of
our
maker
spaces
and
other
places
where
citizens
gather
to
work
with
technology.
The
third
major
concern
for
me
is
that
it
does
not
mention
staff
led
innovation
when
I
am
out
and
about
at
technical
meetups
I
meet
some
of
your
staff
and
they
talk
about
their
side
projects
things.
S
They
are
doing
for
fun
that
they
can't
do
in
the
office
things
they
would
love
to
do,
but
they
can't
get
permission
to
do
so.
I
worry
that
we
are
not
using
them
as
well
as
we
could.
My
major
problem
with
this
document
is
that
the
big
vision
piece
is:
let's
keep
talking
about
developing
a
vision.
I,
don't
believe
that
waterfall
projects
work
well
for
software.
We
have
seen
this
in
the
world
of
Phoenix.
They
thought
they
were
going
to
have
a
perfect
solution
and
roll
it
out.
S
It's
disappointing
to
me
that
in
four
years
we
are
still
talking
about
what
we're
going
to
do,
and
it's
going
to
be
well
into
the
first
year
of
the
next
council
before
you're
at
the
strategy
stage.
Many
projects
in
the
city
do
not
stop
where
we
wait
for
a
new
council
I'm,
not
sure
this
is
one
that
can
afford
to
wait,
so
that
to
me
is
a
major
disappointment
that
there
won't
be
more
substantive
things
coming
out
before
your
terms
end.
S
If
you
could
go
ahead,
and
my
last
one
is
that
you
set
your
people
free,
you
need
to
maintain
your
innovators
in
this
competitive
market,
the
more
innovation
that
comes
to
the
city,
the
more
people
you
are
competing
with
for
your
staff.
They
have
better
benefits,
they
said
they're
people
free,
so
you
really
need
to
have
a
plan
to
engage
the
people
you
have
in
the
city.
S
I
saw
nothing
in
this
document
about
internal
development,
with
your
staff,
a
dragon's
den
approach,
a
hackathon
I,
didn't
even
see
them
listed
as
specialists,
stakeholders
who
would
be
engaged
in
this
process
or
part
of
your
working
group.
So
I
recommended
that
that
be
part
of
the
plan,
because
if
we
don't
have
them,
we
won't
go
ahead.
Tech
projects
fail
because
of
adoption,
not
because
of
just
technology.
S
So
my
concern
is
that
this
report
neglects
people
things
and
it
also
seems
to
neglect
the
need
for
funding
in
the
next
year
and
the
need
to
move
in
the
next
year.
So
while
I
enjoyed
the
report,
I
do
not
find
it
adequate
at
this
time
for
you
to
make
decisions,
so
I
would
speak
against
adopting
it.
As
is
and
recommend
that
you
send
it
back
for
further
work.
A
G
I
think
I
should
know
that
by
now
you
started
you
talk
about
connectivity
with
with
the
other
service
provider
like
what
we
did
in
the
past
with
broadband
and
was
one
of
those
counsel
who
were
around
when
we
did
broadband.
But
the
city
at
the
time
was
a
major
contributor
or
major
investor,
with
broadband
to
be
able
to
provide
service
to
a
rural
area
which,
as
we
know,
sometimes
it's
not
necessarily
attracted
to
the
big
company
based
on
population
or
youth.
So
what
is
our
plan
to?
G
Because
we
get
so
many
requests
and
we
seen,
as
you
said,
we
seen
fiber-optic
popping
up
in
different
area
and
organized
by
us,
because
the
private
sector
they're
going
to
those
pockets
serving
them
because
they
know
that's
where
their
hamlet
is
but
they're
ignoring
the
other
area.
So
what
can
you
tell
us
about
this?
So.
E
Thank
you,
mr.
Mehra.
This
is
a
key
part
of
the
strategy.
When
we
talk
about
bridging
the
digital
divide,
because
we
know
it
has
major
social
consequences
and
economic
consequences
across
the
city,
wherever
we
have
gaps
in
the
connectivity
level.
So,
on
the
good
news
side,
we
have
430
kilometers
of
new
broadband
going
in
in
the
next
year,
that's
being
delivered
by
private
companies
and
281
kilometres
of
dark
fiber
that
hydro
Ottawa
is
laying
in
it
in
as
part
of
its
projects
as
it
as
we
do
reconstruction
projects.
E
When
it
comes
to
the
rural
sector,
we
are
going
to
have
to
work
with
our
external
advisory
panel
to
set
a
standard
level
that
we're
trying
to
accomplish
and
work
on
some
strategies
to
bring
service
there.
We
think
the
city
can
leverage
through
its
own
infrastructure
investment
projects,
to
bring
telecommunications
companies
to
the
table,
to
get
it
to
certain
hub
areas,
at
which
point
we'll
look
at
further
distribution
in
this
and
it
the
strategy
is
going
to
depend
on
us
making
something
happen.
E
Much
like
we're
doing
in
the
natural
gas
side
of
the
effort
where
you
know
the
market
on
its
own
didn't
get
there
on
its
own,
but
we
saw
it
senior
government
support
to
help
bring
it
up,
bring
that
out,
and
we
can
see
ourselves
once
we
know
where
the
problems
are
and
what
the
standard
is
going
to.
The
federal
government,
rental
governments
and
the
private
sector
and
saying
come
to
the
table.
Let's
work
on
a
game
plan
to
get
it
this
out
there.
So
we're
committed
to
doing
this.
G
Is
some
of
the
question
we
get
asked
from
our
community
a
the
CRTC
made
aru
said
you
know
how
you
know:
every
Canadian
should
have
access
to
a
high-speed
internet
or
broadband,
and
and
yet
they
have
no
teeth.
You
have
no
money
to
come
with
it,
and
then
you
know
we
heard
the
federal
government
making
an
investment
but
right
across
Canada
for
the
next
five
or
ten
years
so
really
make
to
the
cut
in
some
of
our
area,
but
a
botella,
some
of
others
too,
that
they
don't
have
even
DSL.
G
E
The
sorts
of
things
we're
looking
at,
for
example,
is
when
the
city's
procuring
any
sort
of
IT
infrastructure.
We
might
be
the
lead,
be
able
to
leverage
our
own
procurement
to
get
service
to
areas
that
wouldn't
otherwise
happen.
Hydro
Ottawa,
we
believe,
could
work
with
hydro
one
and
potentially
work
in
partnership
with
them
in
terms
the
telecom
side
is
a
potential
opportunity.
E
We
can
also
bring
the
private
sector
companies
to
the
table
and
ask
them:
how
can
they
actually
extend
it
because
they're
looking
for
approvals
to
use
our
rights
away
in
many
parts
of
the
city,
and
perhaps
we
can
use?
Perhaps
we
have
some
leverage?
We
also
want
the
federal
government,
because
they
are
the
regulator
in
this
area
to
come
to
the
table
and
I
think
will
make
a
compelling
case
to
them
about
how
it
actually
can
be
addressed
in
the
in
the
short
chain
intermediate
term.
So
you
know
we're
committed
to
doing
this.
E
G
I
may
miss
emerges,
so
the
energy
perhaps
is
a
prime
example.
So
we
thought
for
for
the
longest
time
how
valuable
it
is
to
have
natural
gas
in
those
area.
Yet
until
the
provincial
government
decide
to
inject
some
money
to
those,
the
business
community
didn't
feel
it
will
be
sufficient
business
for
them
without
the
primary
support
to
get
them
there.
So
again,
I
hear
all
the
positive
things
and-
and
we
do
now
have
a
fiber
optic
in
a
lava
area,
but
is
piecemeal
and
is
not
it's
not
together
or
it's
not
organized.
G
N
Thank
You
councillor
my
Tremblay
from
the
best
Ottawa
just
a
couple
of
points.
I
know
that
the
feds
have
announced
lots
of
money
for
trying
to
get
ahead
of
this
issue.
Much
of
that
money
goes
to
the
north.
So
we
really
don't
see
that
in
urban
centers
at
all,
I
think
that
potential
we
have
now
is
around
solving
for
a
new
business
model,
but
any
one
in
a
high-density
area
expects
which
is
it's
free,
and
so
we
need
to
do.
We
had
a
great
session
at
our
symposium
with
many
of
the
telecommunications
providers.
N
Together,
it's
difficult
to
have
a
conversation
where
you
can
go
deep.
We
really
need
to
visit
with
each
one
of
them
one
at
a
time,
and
that
actually
is
is
articulated
and
part
of
the
plan
you
just
saw
I,
don't
think
we
should
come
back
with
some
monster
plan
that
deals
with
this
over
a
five
to
ten
year
period.
N
We
need
to
pick
projects
that
are
in
high-density
areas
where
we
can
have
the
effect,
and
we
need
to
work
with
those
telecommunications
providers
to
get
at
other
sectors
of
the
city
recognizing
that
Ottawa
is
80%
rural.
So
that
we
have
a
strategy
for
them
as
well,
the
way
we're
going
to
get
at
that
is
by
is
by
going
at
each
of
the
telecommunications
providers
directly,
because
this
in
some
respects
is
new
to
them
as
well
too.
In
order
to
get
the
right
deal
for
the
City
of
Ottawa.
H
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I,
just
said
what
Titan
for
the
work.
Mr.
Ross,
the
report
was
very
well
done
and
we
got
to
see
previews
of
it
as
it
was
coming
together.
One
that
comments
that
we
heard
from
the
delegations
was
that
we
weren't
moving
fast
enough
I
know.
There's
a
number
of
initiatives
listed
in
there
that
were
already
doing
I
know.
I
was
pleasantly
surprised
when
we
started
out
say
doing
the
work
on
this.
H
E
Think
you
know
I
take
the
comments
offered
by
all
of
the
delegations
as
being
thoughtful
contributions.
The
dialogue
on
this
and
I
think
you
know
there
there's
this.
Their
sense
of
urgency
is
something
we
share
and
I
think
some
of
the
points
that
were
raised
about
how
we
can
engage
our
unemployed
and
do
other
one
others.
Those
are
they're
excellent
suggestions
and
involved
in
hackathons
and
other
elements,
so
I
hope
we
can
reach
back
to
this
group
of
people
to
continue
to
be
champions
and
pushes
forward.
E
We
have
a
basic
issue,
particularly
in
the
third
pillar
of
the
strategy.
We
just
talked
about
the
first
pillar,
which
is
connectivity,
but
in
the
third
pillar
of
the
strategy,
the
city's
systems
that
a
lot
of
which
were
installed
immediately.
Post
amalgamation
are
at
that
point
in
their
life
cycle,
where
they
need
to
be
replaced,
and
we
will
have
a
digital
innovation
strategy
to
this
committee
later
in
this
year
in
the
next
year
about
that
and
a
lot
of
those
systems.
E
When
we
build
new
ones,
they
can
be
more
oriented
to
open
data
that
can
be
more
oriented
to
mobile.
They
can
be
more
oriented
to
a
lot
of
these
points
that
people
are
talking
about,
but
it
does
require
replacing
the
backbone
architecture
in
order
to
make
this
possible
and
we're
going
to
get
there
and
we're
going
to
bring
a
plan
forward.
It
won't
happen
in
one
big
wave.
E
K
You
well
what
I
took
from
the
public
delegations
is
in
their
reading
of
this
report.
It's
all
forward-looking
and
nothing
there's
no
current
initiatives,
so
I
just
want
to
give
you
an
opportunity
to
tell
us
if
that's
actually
the
case
or
if,
while
you're
visioning
and
thinking
about
it,
you
also
have
concrete
initiatives
that
you
work
out.
E
Thank
you,
mr.
Mehra,
quite
on
the
connectivity
issue.
The
market
is
moving
quickly,
but
they're
not
as
councillor
Alshon
Terry
talked
about
reaching
broadly
enough,
and
so
we're
going
to
have
to
work
with
them
and
get
those
maps
put
together
to
understand
where
the
problems
are
and
then
develop
a
strategy
to
close
the
gap
where
we
see
it.
E
That's
in
one
area
in
the
issue
of
the
community
engagement
in
hacking,
our
business
problems
alike,
invest,
Ottawa,
is
already
doing
hackathons
and
we
see
doing
more
and
more
related
to
that
area
through
invest
Ottawa
and
their
support.
Industry
and
Michael's
group
is
doing
a
considerable
amount
related
to
the
smart
economy.
On
the
e-government
side,
we
are
doing
a
number
of
ongoing
initiatives
that
are
genuinely
smart.
It's
just
you
know
it's
the
putting
them
in
the
framework.
E
Our
led
program,
which
is
both
an
energy-saving
and
a
smart,
intelligent
use
of
fiscal
resources,
is
an
enormous
initiative,
is
going
on
I.
We
have
a
fascinating
project
that
was
being
played
this
year
where
to
assess
the
condition
of
the
pathways
the
multi-use
pathways.
We
actually
had
mobile
mounted,
like
Google
type
sensors.
On
a
golf
court
that
ran
the
entire
system,
we
documented
every
ten
meters
of
condition
of
pathways
and
we
have
better
data
this
year
in
shorter
period
of
time,
with
less
resources
to
get
it
on
the
conditioner
pathways
than
we've
ever
had.
E
Yes,
we
have
to
work
with
the
backbone
architecture
issues.
Yes,
we
have
to
engage
many
of
our
most
creative
stuff
more
than
we
do,
and
we
get
that
and
I
think
we
are
making
progress
and
I
think
that
the
next
part
that's
going
to
be
brought
forward,
which
is
the
digital
innovation
strategy.
It
will
answer
a
lot
of
what
you're
asking
for,
which
is
that's
the
more
specific
plan
related
to
the
third
pillar
on
e-government,
I.
Think.
K
K
And
you
talk
about
it
many
times.
I
was
harkening
back
to
that
crazy
vote
that
we
had
at
this
table
in
2015
when
councillor
Lieber
and
I
asked
our
colleagues
to
support
the
CRTC
in
forcing
big
companies
like
Bell
to
share
their
fiber-optic
cables
and
council
said
no.
That
was
the
Luddite
move
of
the
term
as
far
as
I
was
concerned.
K
E
E
They'll
have
an
enormous
impact
because
we
have
a
lot
of
small
start-up
type
companies
that
will
be
able
to
get
access
to
the
background
backbone
infrastructure.
We
talked
about
a
neutral
data
exchange
in
the
strategy,
as
well
as
another
initiative
that
will
support
small
businesses,
who
don't
have
to
stir
all
of
their
data
in
the
big
company
systems
and
be
able
to
store
it
locally
and
under
Canadian
law.
So
there
are
a
number
of
initiatives
that
we
can
absolutely
be
working
towards.
That
will
help
that
Thank.
K
L
Thank
you
very
much.
First
of
all,
I
do
understand.
This
is
still
a
quite
a
general
level
and
there's
not
an
attempt
to
be
all
encompassing
and
named
every
opportunity
in
front
of
us
and
perhaps
that's
a
lead-in
to
a
gap
or
at
least
of
something
it
doesn't
explicitly
mention
that
I
thought
might
be.
L
Steve
we've
had
conversations
over
the
last
number
of
months
as
we've
moved
forward
with
the
renewable
energy
strategy,
energy
evolution
about
how
important
the
linkages
are,
in
fact,
a
great
way
to
apply
a
smart
city
approach
is
in,
for
example,
energy
management,
energy
management
or
building
smart
buildings.
The
smart
grid
moving
energy
from
where
there's
surplus
to
where
there
isn't
enough
and
avoid
polluting
forms.
L
When
there's
clean
forms
available,
electric
vehicles
now
are
being
seen
or
going
to
be
hooked
up
in
many
countries
to
where,
when
a
car
is
sitting
idle
on
use,
but
it's
got
a
full
battery.
It
can
actually
be
tapped
into
and
used
by,
someone
who
needs
it
and
then
replenished
off-grid
it
at
cheaper
prices.
That
sort
of
thing
so,
where
I'm
getting
at
is
I,
don't
see
a
expected
to
see
it
explicit
mention
of
the
link
between
this
and
energy
evolution
and
our
air
quality
and
climate
change
measurement
plan
goals.
E
Mayor
I
think
when
we
bring
our
energy
evolution
report
forward
later
this
month,
the
councillors,
the
points
councilors
making
will
be
become
quite
more
evident
in
terms
of
the
relationships
and
linkages.
We
have
enormous
opportunity
to
use
technology
to
reduce
energy.
The
LED
program
is
a
very
good
example
of
that
we
could
reduce
the
amount
of
energy
all
of
the
city-owned
buildings
use
through
technology.
We
can
reduce
the
carbon
emissions
of
our
fleet
through
additional
technology,
so
I
think
the
answer
is.
We
are
coming
forward
more
information.
L
Its
mutual
support
in
many
ways
from
councillor,
Harder's,
favorite,
topic,
precision,
agriculture
and
the
possible
energy
efficiencies
and
in
greenhouse
gas
emission
reductions
to
to
all
sorts
of
other
ways
in
which
these
are
all
interlinked
and
and
that's
why
in
not
seeing
a
specific
mention.
So
if
I
understand
correctly,
it's
not
so
much
in
oversight
hoops,
we
forgot
to
put
it
in
as
because
that
particular
plan
isn't
ready.
You've
not
wanted
to
mention
it
in
this.
In
this
report,
it's
not
yet
being
brought
forward
and
formally
adopted.
L
E
So
that
that's
certainly
fair
comment,
I
think
it's
our
intent,
absolutely
the
to
the
other
objectives
that
we're
trying
to
get.
You
know:
economic
development,
social
equity
and
the
environmental
performance.
We
see
the
smart,
the
Smart
City
strategy
is
being
interrelated
and
certainly
in
our
fire
in
our
in
our
bed.
As
we
finalize
this,
we
can
make
sure
that
that's
added
as
a
key
linkage,
Thank.
F
F
The
one
comment
that
caused
me,
the
most
concern
is
that
we
maybe
have
hidden
assets
within
the
city
staff
that
we're
not
tapping
into
and
and
I'll
tell
you
I'm
asking
you
the
question,
because
it's
certainly
been
my
impression
since
we
brought
you
on
that,
you
have
gone
out
of
your
way
to
reach
out
to
staff
and
engage
them
and
empower
them.
I
haven't
seen
you
done
addressed
to
a
dragon
stand,
yet
we
have
a
Jim.
F
So
maybe
you
could
comment
on
some,
some
of
those
sort
of
tangible
things
even
doing
and
and
just
an
overall
comment
on
where
you
see
us
tapping
into
that
potential.
That's
already
within
the
city
and
frankly,
you
already
on
our
payroll
and
and
something
we
should
be
tapping
into
so
I'd
like
to
hear
you
on
those
on
those
issues.
F
B
The
digital
strategy,
in
the
transformation
of
our
organization
is
one
of
the
key
pillars
of
of
us
moving
forward
with
our
people.
We
are
investing
and
inordinate
amount
of
time,
and
in
fact,
November
is
a
significant
month.
What
we're
doing
incredible?
Training
we've
done
a
full
month
of
training
for
staff
and
we're
gauging
our
staff
we've
engaged
their
staff
and
unprecedented
levels,
certainly
with
17,000
employees.
Someone
can
get
up
here
and
say
geez.
You
know
I've
run
into
someone.
This
feels
that
they
haven't.
B
You
know
they
haven't,
contributed,
not
yeah
I'll
find
one
two
or
walk
out
the
hallway
and
someone
says
I've
got
an
idea
wasn't
attributed,
but
from
the
senior
leadership
team
we
have
made
since
last
October
when
we
finalized
the
reorganization,
we've
made
great
strides
in
engaging
our
staff.
We've
had
I've
had
over
15,000
200
written
comments
submitted
to
me
about
things
that
we
could
do
to
improve
the
organization
we've
taken,
those
we've
analyzed
them,
we've
put
them
into
themes,
we're
actioning
many
of
the
things
that
people
have
talked
about.
B
We
have
specific
action
plans
to
do
to
do
that.
We
have
our
webcasts.
We
have
we've
been
engaging
our
staff
at
a
whole
bunch
of
different
areas,
but
we
have
some
really
wonderful
things
coming
forward
in
terms
of
continuous
improvement
about
innovation
hubs,
how
we're
going
to
get
our
people
engaged
in
things.
We
have
plans
for
that
and
we're
in
a
period
of
unprecedented
staff
engagement.
B
So
when
I
saw
the
comment
and
no
disrespect
to
the
other,
miss
gray
from
the
delegation,
but
staff
engagement
is
one
of
our
key
pillars
of
being
successful
in
this
organization.
We've
taken
it
as
a
as
a
principle
of
without
engaging
our
staff
and
encouraging
our
staff
and
supporting
our
staff.
We
will
never
get
better
client
service
for
innovation,
this
organization-
it's
a
fact.
You
can't
dictate
innovation
if
your
staff
aren't
engaged
in
it.
B
So
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
miss
gray,
to
give
us
some
examples
of
specific
work
that
is
happening
in
the
organization.
I
know,
councillor
Dean's,
you
know
asked
that
question
and
Steve
talked
about
it
from
the
broader
framework
I'd
like
to
get
some
of
the
specifics.
That
Nick
committee
needs
to
have
an
appreciation
of
the
types
of
things
you're
going
to
see
over
the
next
twelve
months
that
are
very
innovative
for
our
organization.
Q
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
so
as
Steve
mentioned,
we
did
a
massive
consultation
with
staff
and
we
took
all
that
information
and
when
mr.
Renee
de
coche
entered
the
organization
as
our
service
transformation
lead,
he
was
tasked
with
going
out
to
every
single
city
department
and
holding
workshops
and
understanding
what
are
the
opportunities
to
change
and
deliver
and
do
and
think
about
our
services
differently.
Q
So
those
staff
have
been
really
active
and
have
been
really
excited
about
the
opportunity
to
think
about
different
opportunities,
and
we've
been
working
very
closely
with
our
CIO
Saad
Bashar
to
look
at
what
are
then
the
creative
innovative
technologies.
If
we
brought
those
technologies
to
all
these
business
problems,
how
could
we
start
to
address
that?
Q
We're
doing
working
on
the
close,
the
loop
and
the
statuses
so
you'll
start
to
see
by
the
end
of
the
year
those
statuses
for
new
statuses
being
available
to
residents
to
be
able
to
track
the
status
of
their
service
requests
in
the
new
year.
We
want
to
take
those
statuses
and
start
to
push
those
out
to
residents
on
their
mobile
devices,
depending
on
where
they
are
and
where
they're
receiving
services.
Q
In
terms
of
the
open
data
program
and
how
we
deal
with
the
open
data
program,
we've
taken
all
the
ideas
of
the
department
and
we're
now
creating
a
plan
to
be
working
with,
invest,
Ottawa
and
the
Innovation
Center
to
take
those
ideas
and
to
work
with
the
community.
That
Michael
is
developing
to
take
those
ideas
and
get
those
ideas
out
into
the
community
to
hawk
and
think
differently
about
the
services
that
we
provide
in
the
new
year
as
we
go
forward.
Q
What
we're
going
to
really
do
is
build
all
of
that
around
the
mobile
app
and
you'll
start
to
see
us
testing
that
new
technology,
so
that
we
don't
have
to
build
solutions
that
take
a
long
time.
Like
Miranda
said
we
will
instead
be
developing
testing
and
scaling
very
much
like
the
pilot
project
was
doing
externally
having
the
market
come
in.
We're
going
to
now
start
to
do
that
internally
in
the
organization,
testing
and
piloting
and
building
and
moving
that
forward.
Q
So
you'll
see
mobile,
apps
you'll,
see
alerts,
you'll,
see
emergency
notifications,
you'll,
see
notifications
on
service
requests.
You'll
see
the
chat
function
with
artificial
intelligence
that
we
want
to
use
that
as
a
test
to
say,
can
residents
talk
back
and
forth
with
that
new
tap
technology?
And
how
can
we
put
that
in
different
places
in
the
organization,
so
I
think
the
trick
is?
M
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I'm,
glad
to
see
we're
starting
to
move
forward
on
this,
because
I
think
we
take
a
lot
of
credit
for
what
we
have
in
the
city
with
high-tech
and
how
it
does
things.
But
that
was
not
done
by
the
city
if
that
was
done,
despite
the
city
they've
done
by
individuals
by
universities
by
businesses
that
are
set
up
here,
and
they
tell
me
that
they
were
often
that
the
city's
particular
procurement
policies
has
actually
hindered
their
development
and
they
could
easily
go
elsewhere.
M
They
like
living
here,
because
we
have
a
very
high
quality
of
life
here
and
that's
really
important
in
part
of
the
city
start
city
is
actually
that
quality
of
life
which
I
don't
see,
reflected
as
much
as
I'd
like
to
in
this
report,
because
without
that
we
could
easily
go
downhill.
Cities
not
investing
as
much
as
they
should
that
people
say
it's
going
to
slowly.
M
At
least
it's
going
now
and
I
think
that's
a
big
step
forward,
but
that
we're
not
paying
to
put
in
fiber-optic,
like
some
cities,
do
we're
getting
higher
order
to
do
it.
What
reward
will
we'll
put
it
in?
Where
they
can,
but
they
have
limitations
what
they
can
do
as
well.
We
just
had
an
all-day
session
because
council,
harder
and
I
on
their
board
going
over
what
we
can
do
or
what
we
have
the
hindrances
again.
We
can't
do
everything
with
hydro
Waldo's
money.
M
M
When
we
started
to
get
open
data
I
had
to
push
that
through
a
committee,
because
the
staff
didn't
want
it
I,
remember
that
and
once
they
got
used
to
it,
they've
now
embraced
it,
which
is
good,
but
that
put
us
back
I,
don't
know
how
much
time
so
I
want
to
see
us
when
the
people
say
we're
not
going
fast
enough.
I
agree
with
them,
but
at
least
we're
starting
to
move
and
I.
Don't
want
to
hinder
that
movement,
but
I
think
there's
a
lot
more.
We
have
to
do.
M
We
have
to
use
the
community
with
a
lot
of
very
bright
people
in
this
community.
We
have
all
sorts
of
experimental
things
happening
in
federal
government
labs,
very
poor
by
the
federal
government.
We
have
it
in
private
centers
that
are
set
up
by
local
businesses
things.
We
have
put
some
money
into
the
nuance
Center
at
Bayview,
which
is
a
big
step
forward
for
us,
but
it's
a
very
small
puddle
in
it.
I
still
hear
in
the
news
the
other
day.
That
charter
was
the
center
of
high
tech
in
Canada.
M
What
a
loser
center,
if
I,
they
never
mention
Ottawa,
but
we
have
more
than
they
have.
We
have
not
done
a
good
job
of
letting
people
know
what
we
have
I
resent
the
media
saying
when
they
say
Ottawa
does
this:
they
really
mean
the
federal
government.
So
everybody
thinks
this.
Only
federal
government
here
and
everything
they
do
is
the
problem
to
them
and
they
don't
pay
attention
to
what
I
call
the
real
city
and
our
real
city
is.
M
The
people
are
here
the
business
over
here
and
they're
doing
really
well
and
they're
doing
a
lot
to
improve
this
city,
but
we
have
to
change
our
own
policies.
Procurement
policy
elite
has
been
changed
a
bit,
it's
still
a
huge
hindrance
to
them.
We
brought
in
some
some
companies
that
we
actually
high-caste
and
thank
councillor
Hubli
and
I
raised
that
years
ago.
It
took
a
long
time
to
get
it
come,
but
it's
very
minimal
still
I
have
people
that
come
to
me
still
and
I
put
them
in
touch
with
staff.
M
Sometimes,
and
some
of
them
are
now
working
with
staff,
but
they
just
run
into
roadblocks
of
trying
to
bring
something
innovative
that
they
want
to
demonstrate
with
the
city.
Usually
it
don't
cost
the
city
one
ruler
except
time,
and
things
like
that
so
I'd
like
mr.
mayor
to
say
yes,
go
ahead
with
this.
M
It's
a
good
step
forward,
but
let's
not,
let's
take
it
and
take
a
look
at
some
of
the
things
in
there
and
see
what
we
can
do
as
a
council
and
as
a
city
to
enhance
what
the
businesses
are
already
doing,
because
otherwise
we
could
actually
go
backwards
instead
of
forwards.
I
need
to
go
forwards.
Thank.
K
You,
mr.
mayor,
just
a
short
follow-up,
Ms
gray
appreciate
the
further
information
that
you're
provided
and
I
understand
it's
a
complex
issue,
but
you
did
mention
that
there
were
hundreds
of
suggestions
from
city
staff
and
I'm,
just
I
think
that
it
would
be
useful
for
committee
and
council
and
frankly
the
public
to
see
all
of
those
suggestions
so
that
we
can
think
about
them.
We
can
maybe
react
to
them.
We
can
maybe
make
some
suggestions
around
them.
Q
N
N
You
know:
tech
city
we
have
8
percent
of
our
labor
force
are
in
TAC
roles
and
one
of
the
areas
that
comes
out
of
the
strat
plan
that
we
built
for
invested
WA
is
the
idea
of
marketplace
so
connecting
opportunities
that
come
out
of
the
province,
the
federal
government
and
the
city
with
companies
that
are
in
our
region.
We
councilor
Chernenko
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
environmental
sustainability
piece
in
clean
tech.
We
have
5500
people
in
Ottawa
that
are
employed
by
clean
tech
companies,
so
putting
them
to
work
connected
to
projects.
N
We
need
to
honor
the
procurement
rules,
just
picking
up
on
councillor
Wilkinsons
point,
but
that
is
an
opportunity.
We
have
an
agreement
with
the
federal
government
right
now
to
be
a
prototyping
center
of
Bayview,
which
is
a
good
opportunity
for
our
companies.
In
the
region
and
I
think
the
same
potential
exists
here
with
the
City
of
Ottawa.
The
province
of
Ontario
has
rolled
out
their
SBIR
like
program,
which
is
copied
from
the
US,
which
is
one
that
will
end
up
participating
in
as
well.
N
A
K
2017
and
Ottawa
was
a
spectacular,
spectacular,
a
year
of
celebration
and
activities
as
the
year
is
now
coming
to
an
end.
It
is
important
that
the
city,
community
organisations
and
residents
be
able
to
review
lessons
learned
and
build
on
accomplishments,
can
stab
advise
on
the
following
one.
What
are
the
next
steps
for
the
Ottawa
2017
board?
K
How
are
we
measuring
the
success
of
the
local
and
legacy
events
a
what
is
model
for
hosting
events
again
in
the
future
through?
How
will
the
city
be
engaging
with
the
community,
including
the
Cultural,
Alliance,
Ottawa,
tourism
residents,
etc,
to
receive
feedback
on
the
success
of
the
celebrations
5
with
a
Ottawa
2017
bill,
provide
counsel
with
the
final
overview
of
total
funds
spent
and
plays
awesome
include
like
budget
not
just
fun
spent
the
budget
and
plays
also
include
details
on
how
proposed
next
steps
will
be
reported
back
to
committee
and
Council
for
review.
