E
A
You
want
to
ask
a

questions
who
said

on
the

select

We

so
we'll
come
back
to
that.
Belle's
coroners
Community,
Improvement
Plan.
There
are
two
members
who
would
of
the
public
who
want
to
speak
unless
we
approve
it.
A
My
understanding
is
from
the
clerk
that
they're
both
in
support.
Do
people
wish
to
have
any
comment
on
this,
or
are
you
satisfied
with
the
bells
corners,
a
proposal
so
on
the
report
carried
so
the
two
individuals
who
asked
to
speak,
it's
been
carried
and
it
goes
to
Council,
and
we
thank
you
for
your
support.
A
Excuse
me
next

on
Ennis
Road,
and
we
also
have
an
individual
who
would
like
to
speak
if
there's
any
concern
on
it.
If
the
individual
is
a
support
of
obviously
of
the
proposal
on
the
proposal
carried
so
I
believe
Nadia
de
santé
is
in
support.
So,
okay,
great
thank
you
and
then
we
have
two
items
that
could
go.
F
Slides
I
do
know
that
people
around
council
have
a
good
idea
of
what
we
do
at
the
airport
and
the
deck
will
be
available
for
anyone
who
wants
to
see
it
in
more
detail.
So
I'm,
sorry,
just
because
of
the
time
factor.
I
know
you
have
a
busy
agenda.
I'll
be
just
clicking
truly
right
here,
so
just
the
airport
authority
in
Canada,
so
everyone
knows
we're
a
Tier
one.
Airport
we're
the
six
largest
airport
in
Canada.
We're
a
private
non
shall
not
profit
corporation
with
independent
board
directors.
F
We
have
a
six
to
eighty
year
lease
with
the
government.
Again,
this
is
already
a
private
company.
We're
part
of
the
26
airports
is
a
national
airport
system
from
50
million
that
system
from
50
million
in
1992
we've
put
in
twenty
five
billion
in
capital
investments
with
no
cost
to
the
taxpayer.
We
patreon
in
70
mil.
As
a
group
we
took
we
paid
three
hundred
and
seventy
million
an
annual
rent,
35
billion
contribution
to
Canada's
GDP
taxation
of
more
than
seven
billion.
F
We
in
2017
and
2016
we
had
one
hundred
and
forty
million
passengers
were
probably
around
up
to
150
million
passengers
and
in
close
to
two
hundred
thousand
direct
jobs.
Our
governance.
We
have
the
board
of
14
people.
City
of
ottawa,
provides
our
nominates
two
directors
to
our
board.
Currently,
our
chair
is
koch
cubit.
He
just
started
the.
He
has
a
nominee
from
invest
ottawa
and
from
the
city
of
ottawa.
We
have
as
nominated
for
directors,
Brendan
and
Lisa
stillborn
Brenda
Brendan
McGinty,
who
we
all
know
are
not
stop
destinations.
We
have
approximately
45
destinations.
F
I
know
everyone
would
like
to
have
more
direct
destinations,
but
we're
getting
there
slowly,
we're
very,
very
well
covered
to
get
to
our
Airport
in
North,
America
and
and
to
also
destinations
within
Canada.
International
is
a
challenge
because
of
our
market
size
in
our
location,
in
our
geography
who
does
what
at
the
airport
Airport
Authority
is
the
overall
strategic
direction
and
operation
of
the
airport,
including
building
and
airport
operations
and
maintenance,
and
commercials
and
development.
F
The
airlines
are
responsible
for
everything
to
do
with
check-in
boarding
baggage
handling
baggage,
arriving
late,
bagans
being
lost
baggage
being
found,
that's
all
Airlines.
So
when
you
choose
your
airlines
to
choose
accordingly,
the
icing
consortium
fuel
consumption,
private
vendors,
the
retails-
we
will
talk
about
it
later.
Those
are
leases
within
our
our
purview
as
our
business
models.
Nav
Canada
does
the
air-traffic
control
cat
so
does
the
security
and
passenger
screening
CBSA
customs
and
borders
US,
Customs
preclearance
and
the
Ottawa
police.
F
We
hire
the
Ottawa
police
to
do
a
good
part
of
our
security
and
we
pay
for
that
service.
So
we
got
a
21
man
police
force
at
the
Ottawa
Airport
our
impact
at
the
campus.
We
have
around
5,000
full-time
equivalent
employees.
The
airport
Ettore
itself
is
around
200
full-time
equivalent.
So,
although
we're
a
small
small
team,
we
have
a
large
campus
and
we
coordinate
between
all
the
different
actors.
Direct
labor
income
is
over
300
million
dollars
and
a
gross
output
is
over
a
billion
dollars.
F
So
how
do
we
make
money?
Basically,
our
revenues
are
close
to
eternity
return.
One
is
airport
improvement
fees
that
we
have
on
the
ticket
and
in
Ottawa
is
one
of
the
lowest
in
the
tier
1
airports.
It's
$23
the
non
aeronautical
revenue,
that's
our
parking
or
concessions.
What
we
lease
out
and
are
near
aeronautical
fees.
Those
are
the
landing
fees
that
we
charge
to
the
airlines.
Total
budget
and
2018
revenue
was
around
136
million
our
expenses,
Lea
salaries,
amaterasu
Sontag
year
event,
cap
million
materials
and
supplies
throughout
cat
ground
rent.
F
We
we
pay
rent
to
the
government,
the
even
though
we've
been
rebuilding
this
airport
many
times.
It
is
a
sore
point,
but
that's
the
deal
we
have
to
pay,
we
have
to
pay
rent
and
it's
basically
10%
of
all.
Our
revenue
has
to
go
to
the
government.
So
when
we
do
have
a
good
idea,
like
germ
a
hotel
and
we
collect
rent,
we
have
to
give
10%
it's
a
almost
a
shakedown.
We
have
to
pay,
it
pay
a
pill
payment
and
you
have
tax
that
we
pay
to
the
City
of
Ottawa.
F
We
pay
approximately
$1
8
per
passenger,
and
that
comes
to
five
million.
So
as
our
passenger
volume
grows,
so
does
the
payment
to
the
city
of
Ottawa.
We
also
pay
for
our
dois
Police,
which
is
around
three
and
a
half
million
dollars,
and
we
pay
also
interest
on
our
debt.
Obviously,
so
there's
a
couple
of
initiatives
that
I
want
to
talk
to
you
that
the
government
is
currently
doing
right.
F
Now,
we've
all
heard
of
the
passenger
Bill
of
Rights
that's
coming
into
place
on
the
1st
of
July,
so
we're
involved
in
discussions
when
policy
decisions
are
taken
with
the
federal
government
on
these
things.
So
so
that's
that's
been
advancing
very
quickly.
The
airlines
are
having
to
adapt
they're,
not
always
happy
about
it,
but
Minister
Garneau
is
very
firm
on
his
intention
that
they
will
be
in
place.
You
know
by
this
fall.
The
other
thing
that
we're
also
very
involved
in
is
CATSA
governance.
F
There
going
to
be
transforming
CATSA
from
a
crown
corporation
to
an
airport
authority,
NAV
CANADA
model,
so
we're
very
involved
in
those
discussions.
In
fact,
I'm
leading
a
negotiations
for
the
industry
with
the
airports
and
Airlines
with
TC
to
ensure
that
this
new
organization,
which
should
start
in
the
spring
of
2020,
is
put
in
place
so
they're
going
to
be
independent,
they're
not
going
to
be
a
crown
corporation
anymore,
they're
being
able
to
collect
their
fees
and
they're
going
to
be
able
to
control
their
expenses
and
and
have
much
more
forward
planning
and
creativity.
F
We
hope
that
their
focus
will
be
much
more
on
not
much
more.
Security
is
always
a
given
like
there's
not
going
to
be
any
change
in
the
security
requirements,
but
they'll
be
also
focused
on
customer
experience.
So
those
are
things
that
we
are
discussing
with
the
government
currently
on
Rupe
development.
The
Ottawa
is
between
two
hubs:
Montreal
in
Toronto
and
there's
nothing
that
we
can
do
about
that.
It's
the
geography
that
that
has
already
set,
and
also
we
there's
limited
competition,
there's
good
competition
with
the
airline
industry
in
Canada.
F
F
International
flights
went
to
Frankfurt
and
one
to
Quito,
and
anything
else
is
going
to
be
a
struggle,
but
we
are
struggling
and
we're
working
with
our
partners
in
Ottawa
to
try
to
develop
at
least
a
one
or
two
new
international
destinations,
but
these
endeavors
take
years
and
it
takes
money.
I
won't
go
into
root
development,
but
I'm
certainly
would
be
willing
to
meet
with
counselors
individually
to
explain
how
this
works
and
all
that
and
not
give
you
this
course
this
morning.
F
But
the
joel
is
very
knowledgeable
and
on
all
these
all
these
matters
and
and
if
there's
any
questions
on
that,
I
will
be
able
to
talk
to
him.
Our
top
priorities,
probably
would
be
in
North,
America
would
be
Las
Vegas,
San,
Francisco,
LA,
Perry,
Beijing
and
Dublin
we've
been
working,
especially
on
the
international
we've,
been
working
hard
on
the
Paris
and
Dublin
route.
But
again
the
competition
is
fierce
and
other
models
are
providing
a
very,
very
large
incentives
which
we
are
very
limited
in
our
capacity
to
do
as
an
airport.
F
Us
is
a
completely
different
model.
They
have
other
stakeholders
that
are
providing
revenue
guarantees
to
these
airlines
and
the
millions
of
dollars,
so
they
diminish
their
risk
when
they
start
a
new
route,
we're
starting
to
work
with
Ottawa
tourism,
for
example,
and
to
tea-smoked
aware
and
other
parties
to
see
how
we
can
get
an
incentive
package
that
would
compete
against
North
American
other
North
American
airports,
the
right
aircraft
for
a
wile
w
is
just
starting
its
that
basically
the
a321
neo
long-range.
It's
not
a
wide-body.
It
has
approximately
200
seating
capacity.
F
So
that's
a
nice
aircraft
for
our
market.
Why?
We
like
it?
It's
because
it
has
long
range,
and
so
that
means
the
requirement
on
the
daily
requirement
to
fill
that
plane
is,
is
doable
in
a
market
the
size
of
Ottawa
and
so
first,
the
delivery
of
that
aircraft
was
to
air
transat
just
a
month
ago,
approximately
agile
a
couple
of
weeks
ago.
So
we're
following
that,
so
we're
really
targeting
airlines
that
are
are
going
to
be
purchasing
that
aircraft
because
of
its
range
and
its
size.
F
As
I
indicated,
we
were
on
the
top
international
routes
at
Dublin
and
Perry
Dublin.
Why?
It's
a
it's
a
it's
great
city,
but
it's
also
a
great
connecting
city,
so
it
would
be
another
hub.
Paris
is
a
great
destination
and
we're
working
very
hard
with
Ottawa
tourism
which
I'd
like
to
tank,
because
they've
been
as
super
as
a
as
a
group
to
it
to
work
with
and
again
we're
working
with
the
autopilot
goal
to
try
to
get
that
going.
F
F
So
this
is
a
picture
of
our
Airport
terminal.
You
can
see
the
big
white
building
in
front
does
the
roof
of
our
Park
aid?
Okay,
so
on
the
Left
you're
going
to
see
where
the
new
hotels
can
be
going
in
the
blue
shaded
area,
the
LRC
State
LRT
station.
That's
right,
arriving
directly
on
the
third
level
and
is
the
work
is
already
started
on
that
as
clearing
has
been
undertaking
and
staging
of
construction
equipment
is
already
started.
F
We
all
know
about
the
map
of
the
old
train
extension.
This
is
more
precise.
As
you
can
see,
it's
passing
right
by
Ernst
&
Young.
There
will
be
a
station
there
and
again
it's
going
right
into
the
terminal
on
the
third
level.
This
is
a
rendering
where
we're
starting
to
work
with
our
architects
and
engineers
we
were.
We
were
waiting
for
everything
to
be
confirmed
before
we
could
start,
but
this
is
a
very
basic
sketch
how
it's
going
to
look
like
the
hotel
project
in
more
details.
F
That's
the
footprint
I
think
it's
already
at
the
city
as
for
for
permits
and
all
that,
so
it's
going
through
the
system
right
now.
The
bills
should
start
probably
this
fall
or
late
fall
and
should
be
completed
within
18
months.
There's
your
main
group
they're
very,
very
well
tuned
organization,
very
aggressive.
They
got
they
want
to
be
this
xx
Hotel
and
it
wanted.
They
want
it
to
be
open
in
2020,
180
rooms,
hotel.
It's
going
to
be
it's
going
to
have
some
facilities
for
meetings.
F
The
timeline
Co
train
is
is
projected
in
2023
in
service
date.
The
alto
hotel
again
I
mentioned
in
2020
at
the
beginning.
2021
concessions
were
we're
in
the
the
phase
of
we're
redoing,
the
hall,
the
restaurants
and
concessions
and
retail
in
the
terminal.
So
for
the
next
two
or
three
years,
you're
also
going
to
see
closures,
you're
going
to
be
reroute
it
when
you're
a
passenger
going
to
air
terminal.
It's
because
we
are
changing
the
whole
look
inside
it's
very
exciting
project.
What's
really
exciting
about
it,
we
are
and
I
can't
wait
till
announced
it.
F
Officially,
everyone
will
be
invited
from
the
City
Council.
We've
got
a
lot
of
local
her
in
it,
and
that
was
one
thing
that
we
really
wanted
to
stress
with
our
master
concessionaires,
so
you're
going
to
see
some
familiar
names
from
Ottawa
in
the
terminal,
and
that
was
a
very
critical
component
of
the
bids
when
we
looked
at
them.
A
passenger
screening
we're
in
the
process
of
moving
it
up
to
the
third
floor.
So
when
you
check-in
you're
gonna,
be
on
the
same
floor,
where
you're
going
to
go
to
passenger
screening,
much
more
room.
F
Gonna
have
more
room
to
to
divest
and
Rivest
when
you,
when
you
come
in,
it's
going
to
be
less
cramped
and
the
existing
area,
where
your
passenger
screening
is
going
to
become
a
food
court
and
all
that
so
I'll
just
go
quickly
to
some
of
the
renderings.
This
is
a
this
is
the
view
that
we're
going
to
be
seeing
to
go
to
the
UK.
That's
a
screening
area
on
the
third
floor.
F
This
is
how
much
more
space
you're
gonna
have
it's
going
to
have
a
modern,
CATSA
Plus,
which
is
going
to
increase
the
efficiency
of
a
passenger
screening.
You're
gonna
then
go
down
to
the
food
court.
There's
going
to
be
a
new
rap
elevators,
that's
going
to
be
built
again
we're
going
down
here,
you're,
going
to
have
that's
by
gate,
18
I!
Think
where
the
when
you
connect
when
you
go
to
Toronto.
It's
typically,
that's
that's!
The
gate
like
these
renderings
are
preliminary
I've
seen
the
renderings
of
the
master
concessionaire.
We
don't
want
to
scoop
ourselves.
F
The
announcements
are
coming
in
a
couple
of
weeks,
so
you'll
have
a
much
better
renderings
of
who's
going
to
be
worth
renting.
Space
they're
gonna
have
an
improved
food
court
and
Mayor
you
had
suggested
I
think
the
place
in
on
Queens,
what's
Queen's
market,
so
we've
we've
taken
that
advice
and
you're
going
to
be
certainly
like
what
we've
come
up
with
it's
something
very,
very
similar,
so
you're
gonna
have
new
retail
enhancements.
Everything
is
going
to
be
redone.
F
We're
gonna
also
have
a
neutered
party.
Lounge
Porter
vacated
their
lounge.
That
was
that
their
business
decision
they
decided
that
they
did
not
no
longer
want
to
offer
lounges
to
any
airport
other
than
Billy
Bishop.
So
we're
gonna
have
a
new
lounge
operator.
That's
going
to
take
that
space,
that's
going
to
be
available
for
for
anyone
at
a
price.
Basically,
land
development
is
an
important
component
to
generate
revenue,
so
we
can
keep
our
fees
low.
F
So
again,
we've
been
working
with
the
city
planning
department
to
ensure
that
we're
able
to
develop
and
there's
more
more
coming,
I
guess
we're
going
to
be
focused
really
on
on
the
piece
of
property
by
Ernst
&
Young,
because
it's
going
to
be
a
terminal,
a
new
terminal
for
LRT.
So
we
think
there's
a
there's
opportunity
there
to
get
the
right
project,
but
we're
going
to
be
very
patient
because
again
it's
a
it's,
a
it's
a
nice
piece
of
property
and
the
airport
operating
influence
soon
is
important
and
noise
sensitive
zone
around
the
airport.
F
As
you
know,
we
we
try
to
protect
it
fiercely
there's
only
one
reason
we
do,
that
is
not
annoy.
People
that
want
to
develop
is
because
noise
complaints
always
happen.
If
you
allow
development
too
close
to
an
airport,
despite
all
the
efforts,
it's
has
been
proven
many
times.
The
only
way
to
prevent
a
series
of
noise
complaints
in
the
future
is
to
have
adequate
development
around
an
airport,
and
so
it
is.
F
It
is
an
advantage
for
Ottawa
and
it'll
be
an
advantage
in
the
future
that
we
don't
have
any
curfews
and
because
we,
the
development,
has
not
encroached
on
airport
in
operating
influence
zone.
So,
that's
why
it's
always
very
important
and
that's
why
we
you'll
all
see
the
airport
trying
to
protect
that
zone,
so
that
was
a
very,
very
quick
rundown
on
the
airport
projects
that
we're
putting
a
Ford
in
the
next
five
years
are
over
a
hundred
million
dollars
in
capital
investment.
F
A
A
Thank
you
to
say,
I,
don't
have
any
questions
to
the
delegation
that
guess
Joe
well.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
think
this
was
really
helpful
because
you
know
it's
you're.
A
key
part
of
the
tourism
community,
but
also
the
broader
economic
development
picture,
is
important.
You're
investing
100
million
dollars,
which
is
a
great
significant
amount,
and
we
wish
you
continued
success.
Now.
Steve
Monsieur
Madeleine.
A
Wow,
okay,
I'm
just
checking
to
see
if
we
have
other
items
here
that
are
quick,
I,
don't
think
so.
I
know
there's
some
people
here
for
other
items.
So
the
two
that
we
held
is
the
municipal
accommodation
tax
as
well
as
the
montreal
road
community
improvement
plan.
But
now
we
have
the
presentation
on
the
Confederation
line,
so
we'll
ask
mr.
man
Kony
and
his
team
to
come
forward
and
present
where
we
stand
on
LRT.
At
this
point.
A
A
G
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
bourgeois
toast
mr.
mayor
I,
want
to
start
off
the
presentation
today,
I'm
going
to
kick
off
with
the
incident
that
occurred
last
week.
The
development
in
the
yard
I
want
to
just
provide
you
with
some
background
and
and
tell
you
how
we've
closed
off
on
that
so
last
front
and
then
I'll
move
into
the
update
of
the
broader
update
of
the
LRT
system.
So
last
Friday
during
our
morning,
launch
testing
and
practicing
exercises.
I
trail
development
occurred
at
the
Belfast
yard.
That's
within
the
maintenance
facility.
G
It
was
not
on
the
main
line,
and
that
was
due
to
an
incorrect
switch
movement.
It
was
a
human
error
and
what
was
occurring
was
a
train
that
was
traveling
at
the
right
speed,
there's
a
very
low
speed
to
require
a
restriction
within
the
yard.
That's
what
you
do
because
there's
a
lot
of
movements,
a
lot
of
trains,
curbs
and
switches
and
so
forth,
had
one
set
of
the
wheels
shift
off
the
track
at
a
switch
location
where
they
move
the
from
one
track
over
to
the
other.
G
It's
important
to
note
that,
unlike
the
mainline,
currently
in
the
yard,
as
a
system,
the
switches
are
manually
controlled
out
on
the
mainline
they're
all
CB
TC
controlled
the
the
within
the
other,
eventually
be
full
cVTC
control,
we're
just
transitioning
to
that
right
now.
So
it's
an
important
point
because
I
know
people
asked
you
know,
could
this
occur
in
the
mainline
and
so
forth
there
and
not
manually,
controlled
out
there
unless
you
and
override
systems
and
so
forth,
there
were
no
injuries
and
only
minor
repairs
were
required
to
the
switch
mechanism.
G
The
vehicles
been
inspected,
the
people
to
have
any
major
repairs
or
requirements
like
that
I
know
there
was
you
know:
social
media
quotes
out
there
that
there
was
cranes
on
wrote
and
the
train
was
on
its
side.
That
was
not
the
case.
This
is
a
picture
of
the
the
train
at
the
location
where
the
switch
slide
off
occurred
and
one
of
the
comments
was
there
was
a
lot
of
personnel
out
there.
That
was
by
design
mr.
mayor
and
members
of
committee.
We
used
this
opportunity
to
do
a
training
exercise,
so
the
event
occurred.
G
This
does
occur
in
yard
facilities,
I'm,
not
minimizing
it,
the
the
number
of
personnel
that
were
there,
they
were
actually
doing
the
actual
mechanical
work
of
moving
the
train
back
onto
the
track.
Others
were
observing,
taking
notes
and
so
forth.
So
there's
a
large
presence
of
vests
and
hard
hats
there,
and
that
was
by
design
so
unfortunate
incident.
But
it's
a
great
learning
moment
and
you
you
that's
part
of
testing
and
commissioning.
This
is
not
and
again
I'm,
not
minimizing
it.
This
does
occur
during
start-up
operations
and
even
in
normal
operations.
It's
not
unheard
of.
G
You
want
to
minimize
the
occurrences
which
leads
me
into
this
next
slide.
So
those
of
you
that
were
on
counsel
previously
remember
that
you
approved
a
safety
management
system.
It's
a
very
robust
best-in-class
safety
management
system.
That
reports,
through
eventually
to
you
to
counsel
you'll,
be
receiving
an
annual
report,
and
you
also
invested
in
an
independent
review
of
that
safety
management
system
and-
and
the
thrust
of
that
is
that
you
take
safety
as
an
iterative
process.
G
You
are
always
striving
for
perfection
and
we
take
every
single
incident
very,
very
seriously
and
we're
open
and
transparent
about
it.
We
had
a
press
conference
on
site
that
was
by
design,
so
people
could
see
the
train
and
what
we're
doing
out
there
and
so
forth.
The
safety
management
system
has
a
bunch
of
key
things
that
are
critical
to
you
know:
driving
the
culture
and
the
system
to
ensure
it's
safe.
We
consider
it
in
everything
that
we
do.
G
We
have
overarching
goals
and
reporting
and
investigating
protocols
are
in
place
to
identify,
what's
occurred
with
any
incident
and
to
prevent
the
reoccurrence
from
happening
again.
So
in
accordance
with
that
safety
management
system,
which
is
very
prescriptive,
there's
protocols
and
so
forth,
an
investigation
was
immediately
launched
and
the
morning
launch,
activity
of
the
trains
were
ceased,
and
that
was
the
right
call.
That's
what
you
do.
You
freeze
the
operation
and
we
restored
service
by
3:00
p.m.
and
we
have
done
the
debriefs,
the
reviews
so
forth.
G
G
Mehra
now
I'm
going
to
transition
to
the
LRT
update
that
you
are
looking
for
today,
so
I'm
going
to
start
off
with
the
stations
all
13
stations
have
now
received
occupancy
permits
and
they're
literally
in
the
final
cleanup
of
those
stations
and
you're,
seeing
the
hoarding
coming
down,
they're,
actually
cleaning
the
glasses
they're
sweeping
they're
mopping.
All
those
things.
I
know
people
are
asking
about
Rideau
station,
so
all
those
stations
to
have
occupancy
permits
there's
some
final
paperwork.
That
needs
to
be
done.
That's
moving
and
I
want
to
thank
mr.
G
Willis
and
his
team
he's
put
on
the
dedicated
team
of
inspectors
and
they've
been
phenomenal
when
you
see
Frank
begin
and
his
team
just
thank
them.
They've
been
outstanding,
working,
weekends
nights
and
so
forth.
The
RTG
is
making
progress
and
it's
it's
evident
in
certain
elements
of
the
the
work
I'm
going
to
take.
You
through
I
have
two
pictures
of
each
station
and
it
they
definitely
demonstrate
the
completeness
of
where
we
are
we're
literally
down
to
decals
on
stations.
G
Many
people
have
commented-
and
you
know,
there's
Tony's
pasture,
not
even
in
service
yet
in
terms
of
open
to
the
public,
but
already
the
bike
racks
he
invested
in
are
being
used
key
elements
that
you
you
invested
in
that
could
have
been
plain
glass
on
the
ceiling,
but
there's
beautiful
artwork,
that's
integrated
into
that
station
and
gives
a
great
feature
to
those
that
use
it.
Bay
View
station,
very
critical,
I
present
this
shot
to
you
because
there's
many
connection
modes
to
all
of
the
station.
G
On
the
other
side,
there's
a
fully
accessible
mop
for
cyclists
and
and
and
people
that
don't
want
to
take
the
stairs
lighting,
LED
lighting
features,
wayfinding
and
so
forth.
Pema
see
when
you
get
down
there.
It
is
just
a
magnificent
space
built
for
the
future,
the
underground
connection
that
you
can
walk
cycle
through
the
lantern
with
the
big
white
Oh,
while
a
white
and
red
Oh
symbol,
great
architectural
features,
etched
glass
on
the
upper
concourse
and
so
forth.
G
Inside
a
pema
see
demonstrating
again
how
all
these
stations
are
open,
airy,
there's,
no
dark
nooks,
crannies
places
for
people
to
linger
around
they're,
really
welcoming
and
friendly
with
art
integrated
throughout
them.
Ryan
again,
fantastic
architectural
design
features
very
bright.
That
is
underground,
and
you
can
tell
that
it's
a
very
welcoming
space.
It's
a
very
large
space,
you've
built
it
for
the
future.
G
Parliament
the
ceiling
artwork
is
done
and
fare
gates
are
up
and
op
a
tional,
wayfinding
and
so
forth
again,
could
add,
boring
steel
in
the
middle
of
those
two
tracks.
Instead,
there's
some
really
well
done
our
work.
That's
both
a
safety
feature
and
a
piece
of
art
reto.
It's
now
we
have
occupancy
permit.
G
You
can
tell
it's
in
its
completed
H
glass
in
the
back
wood
ceilings,
wayfinding
connection
you're,
seeing
the
signage
inside
the
Rideau
Center
being
changed
direct
people
to
to
here,
and
it's
really
completing
that
important
hub
some
additional
wayfinding
and
fare
gates,
you
of
Ottawa.
We
we
have
a
meeting
with
University
of
Ottawa
today,
they're
excited
about
this.
They
they're
using
it
for
their
marketing
and
their
branding.
G
You
know
you
gave
them
the
the
privilege
of
having
a
station
named
after
their
University
and
to
have
a
direct
connection
to
this
important
infrastructure
is
so
so
important
inside
of
a
you
of
auto,
underneath
you
see
them
up
in
the
back
and
integration
with
the
elements.
Lee's
Avenue
again
the
lantern
feature
with
the
areto
symbolic.
By
the
way,
I
should
mention
you're,
going
to
start
seeing
they've
already
started
out
on
the
roadways
wayfinding
signs
that
our
traffic
operations
are
putting
in
there
with
the
O,
so
the
O
was
everywhere.
G
Lee's
Avenue
are
shot
from
above
Hardman,
integrated,
layup,
very
busy
transfer
point
great
architectural
features
and
amenities
Tremblay
connection
to
our
via
partners.
Yes,
we
will
be
doing
integrated
trip
planning
so
that
when
you
buy
your
via
ticket,
you
can
also
buy
a
ticket
on
our
system.
They
can't
wait
to
be
doing
that
with
us
inside
of
Tremblay
sailor.
The
spoken
to
the
mall
owners
they're
very
excited
about
how
this
is
going
to
transform
them
all
and
again
some
excellent
work.
G
That's
been
done
within
the
station
Sayreville
lights
up
at
night,
great
integration
I
can't
miss
it
and
similar
lighting
features
there
that
you
see
embedded.
Not
only
are
they
good
lighting
features
or
efficient
lighting
features
and
so
forth,
so
it
aligns
with
other
council
priorities
and
just
another
shot
at
survival.
You've
seen
before
so
mr.
mayor
now
going
to
talk
to
you
about
where
we
are
with
the
project.
So
that's
a
tour
of
the
stations
they've
received
their
occupancy
permits,
so
RT
G
has
submitted
their
substantial
completion
and
paperwork
and
all
of
their
paperwork.
G
The
substantial
completion
process
is
guided
by
the
project
agreement
and
I'm
going
to
walk.
You
through
how
that
works
in
a
moment
and
I'm
going
to
talk
about
trial,
running
and
revenue
service
availability,
all
those
pieces,
because
I
know
many
of
you
asked
me.
Where
are
we
in
the
process
so
success
today?
Is
that
you
know
exactly
where
we
are
in
the
process?
We
are
required
for
the
project.
We
agreement
to
review
the
request
for
substantial
completion
and
it's
an
important
step
for
them
to
get
to
the
next
step
of
the
process.
G
Once
we
review,
it
then
goes
to
the
independent
certifier.
This
is
not
the
safety
person
I'll
talk
about
that.
In
a
moment,
this
is
the
independent
certifier
that
looks
at
their
request
for
substantial
completion.
Sign-Off
I
can
tell
you
that
RTG,
because
everybody's
asking
about
what's
the
RSA
date
continues
to
say
the
system
will
be
completed
and
achieve
RSA
by
the
end
of
q2
2019,
which
is
the
end
of
June
2019
and
a
reminder.
G
We've
always
said
we
need
about
a
month
to
get
into
Revenue
Service,
so
the
position
for
RTG
right
now
is
they're
sticking
with
that
there
is
the
completing
the
final
closeout
and
completion
of
work
and
testing
and
commissioning,
as
you
know,
by
all
the
videos,
the
trains
that
you're
seeing
and
so
forth
is
continuing
out
on
the
system.
So
what
is
substantial
completion
and
where
does
it
take
you?
G
So
substantial
completion
signifies
that
the
project
has
advanced
the
point
where
construction
and
testing
is
effectively
complete
means
they're
done,
and
it
applies
to
all
elements
of
the
system,
the
trains,
the
rail,
the
vehicles
and
so
forth.
So
it's
everything
that
you've
paid
for
2.1
billion
dollar
contract
and
there
can
be
no
restrictions
that
materially
impairs
our
use
of
the
system.
So
it
has
to
be
clear,
and
it
includes
public
and
city
use
of
the
system,
the
maintenance
services
and
safety
and
flow
within
the
system.
G
And,
as
you
know,
our
focus
on
all
the
critical
elements
continues
to
be
safeties
at
the
top
vehicles.
You
need
the
vehicles
for
a
good,
safe,
reliable
system,
critical
operating
features,
both
the
operating
elements
and
the
customer
facing
elements
that
need
to
be
functioning
station
and
maintenance
readiness.
So
now
I'm
going
to
walk
you
through
the
substantial
completion
review
process.
G
The
independent
certifier
then
takes
five
days
to
gentlemen,
whether
or
not
RTG
has
satisfied
the
conditions
of
substantial
completion
and
there's
two
possible
scenarios
that
can
occur
and
I'll
walk
you
through
those
so
scenario
one
is
the
independent
certifier,
renders
their
opinion
and
says
they
have
achieved
substantial
completion
for
the
definition
in
the
project
agreement.
If
that
occurs,
two
things
happen:
they
get
their
fifty
nine
million
dollar
first
payment,
which
they
have
not
been
paid.
G
Anything
you've
heard
me
over
and
over
again
and
they're,
entitled
to
move
into
trial,
running
and
trial
running
is
outlined
in
that
slide.
At
the
bottom,
they
have
to
do
12
consecutive
days
of
near-perfect
operations
and
it
tests
everything
the
operating
schedules,
the
performance,
the
reliability
of
the
entire
system
and
the
subsystems,
and
it
demonstrates
vehicle,
availability
and
reliability.
G
If
they
pass
the
trial
running
period.
The
safety
auditor
needs
to
sign
off
so
again
the
checks
and
the
balances,
and
then
RSA
is
then
achieved.
So
they
need
to
get
through
substantial
completion.
They
need
to
get
through
trial
running
and
the
safety
auditor
needs
to
sign
off.
You
have
been
acheived,
RT
RTG
has
then
achieved
RSA
and
then,
as
we've
said
many
times,
we
need
up
to
four
weeks
to
launch
that's
scenario.
One
scenario
two
is:
if
the
independent
certifier
determines
that
they
have
not
achieved
substantial
completion.
G
You
know
the
elements
you've
seen
this
slide
before.
We
continue
to
monitor
all
those
they're
aligned
with,
what's
in
the
project,
agreement
that
are
aligned
to
best
practices,
they're
aligned
to
all
those
independent
experts
that
we
brought
in
to
assist
us,
and
it
ranges
from
fleet
availability
to
the
tunnel
ventilation
system
to
power
systems
and
winter
operations
and
so
forth.
So
the
status
of
those
nine
critical
elements
RTG
has
made
significant
progress
on
all
elements.
G
First
and
foremost,
you
do
not
own
the
contract
with
Alstom
for
the
vehicles
that
is
with
RTG.
Rtg
has
an
obligation
to
you
to
deliver
the
fleet,
all
34
vehicles
in
a
state
of
readiness
in
a
state
of
virtually
defect,
free
and
very
reliable,
and
no
major
outstanding
issues
can
remain.
Our
itg
needs
to
continue
to
focus
on
that
with
Alstom,
because,
as
I
said
over
and
over
again,
we
need
a
reliable
fleet
to
go
into
service
and
a
reminder.
G
It's
not
like
some
of
the
other
systems,
where
you're
launching
into
green
fields
and
you're,
hoping
that
your
your
your
ridership
will
will
come.
You
will
have
full
ridership
on
day
one.
Eighty
to
eighty-five
percent
of
your
ridership
of
your
350,000
customers
will
be
on
that
train
on
day
one.
So
two
hundred
two
hundred
forty
thousand
people
will
be
using
that
system
every
single
day,
eleven
thousand
people
per
hour
for
directions.
So
we
need
a
reliable
fleet.
Now
let
me
be
crystal
clear
about
the
fleet,
because
I
don't
want
any
misinterpretation
or
understanding.
G
We
have
a
very
good
rail
vehicle
coming
to
us
and
I've
done
the
checks
and
the
balances
I've
brought
in
the
experts
from
across
North
America
people
that
have
worked
in
the
field.
We
have
a
very
good
product
coming
to
us
from
Alston,
but
like
any
vehicle
that
gets
launched,
they
need
to
shake
out
the
issues
that
are
within
the
vehicle
and
get
those
things
addressed
and
get
them
to
the
state
of
readiness
that
we
need,
because
we
don't,
we
want
to
have
a
reliable
fleet
across
the
board.
So
no
it's
not
about.
G
We
can't
use
the
vehicle
in
winter.
No,
it's
not
about
it's,
not
a
good
vehicle.
We've
been
through
all
that
we
have
a
very
good
product
coming
to
us
and
if
all
the
vehicle
experts
that
I'm
paying
a
lot
of
money
to
come
and
talk
to
us
and
review
this
stuff
in
detail,
had
any
red
flags
we'd
be
raising
that
with
you.
So
I
want
to
be
clear
on
that
point,
but
like
any
new
fleet,
this
is
all
normal.
G
You
have
to
shake
out
these
issues
and
make
sure
that
you've
got
that
reliability
and
I
will
emphasize
it.
You've
got
a
very
busy
system
on
day
one,
and
we
want
success
across
the
board.
The
best
thing
that
our
TG
can
do
right
now
is
have
laser
focus
and
be
accountable
for
getting
those
vehicles
to
the
state
that
we
need
and
put
the
pressure
on
Alstom
to
make
sure
they
deliver.
So
it
is
a
great
company.
They
have
a
great
product,
they
will
get
there,
they
need
to
get
there.
Our
preparation
look
we're
very
busy.
G
We've
been
at
this
for
five
years
and
it's
not
I
know
everybody's
looking
at
the
trains
and
the
stations
and
so
forth.
We
have
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
staff
for
the
last
five
years
have
been
getting
us
ready
from
a
bus
to
rail
rail
to
bus
operation
system.
You've
seen
that
in
your
radio
rail
campaigns
we're
ready,
we're
focused
they're
dedicated
they're
resilient.
They,
you
know,
if
there's
been
delays
that
staff
we
they
bounce
back
and
they're
committed.
So
we're
doing
our
ongoing
plans
and
are
ready
for
well
campaign,
continues.
Thank
You.
Mr.
mayor.
E
D
E
E
E
G
No,
that's
what
you
do
during
testing
and
commissioning
you.
You
continue.
You
know,
I've
had
people
ask
me
why
the
vehicles
running
up
and
down
up
and
down
that's
because
they're
looking
for
you're
looking
for
problems,
you're
looking
for
defects,
you're,
looking
for
issues
and
it
you
know,
we
had
everything
from
minor
things,
such
as
adjustments
to
the
Sun
Visor
for
operators,
windows
in
the
cab
and
so
forth,
you're
looking
for
all
those
things,
and
that
is
normal
associated
with
a
new
type
of
vehicle,
a
retrofitted
vehicle
or
a
vehicle.
E
And
again,
until
that,
the
the
the
testing
or
the
RSA
date
refers
to
ensuring
that
all
34
trains
are
have
past
testing
and
and
are
tested
and
commissioned
the
computer-based
train
control
system
and
all
front-facing
and
safety
elements
that
are
built
into
the
station's.
Our
operational,
our
are
as
per
the
contract.
G
That's
correct
and-
and
you
know,
I
will
say
this-
that
there
is
a
lot
of
those
critical
elements
are
in
very,
very
good
shape
and
what
happens
is
there's
a
strong
dependencies
associated
with
the
vehicle
to
get
the
final
paperwork
and
the
final
sign
offs
and
so
forth.
So
it's
not
like
the
other
elements
aren't
in
good
shape.
They
are
in
very
good
shape,
but
you
can't
do
finalization
on
those
until
you
have
the
vehicles
signed
off
and
running
into
end
consistently
and
reliably
with
what
the
vehicle
counts
and
the
frequency
that
we
need.
G
E
Last
question,
and
it
relates
to
the
May
3rd
incidents
in
in
Belfast
yards
and
I'm
certain.
It
was
out
of
an
abundance
of
caution
that
it
took
from
5
a.m.
to
3
p.m.
and
the
learning
process
that
that
that
you
wanted
to
go
through
with,
with
with
the
team,
would
an
instant
incident
in
the
Belfast
yard,
such
as
this
delay,
the
regular
launch
of
vehicles
in
the
morning
at
4:00
or
5:00
in
the
morning
when
vehicles
will
be
leaving
belfast
yards
and
how?
E
G
It's
a
that's
a
great
question,
so
it
depends
where
it
occurs
and
what
time
we
start
launch
operations
at
4:00
a.m.
in
the
morning
running
out,
sweep
trains
and
so
forth.
So
that
particular
day
I
believe
there
was
five
trains
already
out.
They
would
have
been
in
service,
so
we
would
have
been
operating
integrated
service,
but
if
that
incident
would
have
happened
in
the
back
towards
one
of
the
curves,
you
know
the
the
MSF
is
in
your
back
yard.
There
wouldn't
affected
anything,
so
it
depends
where
it
occurs.
That
was
a
critical
pinch
point
there.
G
That's
that
leads
you
to
the
launch
tunnel,
but
again,
that's
all
the
debriefs
that
we're
looking
at
and
what,
if
scenarios
I
will
say
this
on
your
first
incidence,
whether
it's
this
or
any
other
thing
that
will
occur
and
they
will
occur,
we
will
have
disruption
and
service.
I've
said
that
over
and
over
again
we
took
our
time
that
day
because
we
wanted.
We
were
rotating
personnel.
Through
that
scenario
and
saying
what
would
you
do,
how
would
you
use
the
equipment?
It's
not
a
complicated
operation
to
slide
that
train
back
onto
those
tracks.
G
All
the
equipment
was
there,
our
team
did
their
job.
We
took
our
time
and
make
sure
that
we
understood
what
occurred.
It
was
the
first
one
we
wanted.
We
had
people
taking
notes
and
debriefs
and
so
forth,
so
depends
where
it
occurs,
and
then
there's
mitigation
plans
and
in
the
worst
case
scenario,
if
you
don't
have
train
operations,
we
deploy
as
many
buses
as
we
can
to
get
bridging
service,
which
you've
seen
in
the
briefs
that
we
brought
to
transit
commission
to
run
a
parallel
bus
service
at
a
limit,
limited.
G
Yes,
but
a
lot
of
to
other
things
depending
the
time
of
year,
you
can
also
store
trains
in
different
locations,
so
we
look
at
weather
and
so
forth
and
because
you
invested
wisely
on
stage
two
you'll
recall,
we
have
a
maintenance
and
storage
facility
out
in
the
West
End.
We'll
have
trains
parked
out
there
too.
So
that's
other
mitigation
processes.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
H
G
G
Many
of
them
are
very
manageable
in
terms
of
its
either
final
paperwork,
for
example
in
the
tunnel
ventilation
system
or
waiting
for
a
final
sign-off
on
a
document,
winter
maintenance
waiting
for
one
letter
that
says
they've
committed
to
the
enhanced
protocols
that
I've
briefed
you
on
and
so
forth.
So
it's
varying
degree.
There
are
no
what
I
characterize
them.
There
are
no
showstoppers
outside
of
the
vehicles
that
are
problematic
and
by
the
way,
RTGS
continue
to
do
work
and
we
we
as
their
partner.
It's
not.
We
haven't.
G
We
could
theoretically
just
say
we'll
wait,
but
we're
not
we're
working
in
parallel
with
them
and
so
I
anticipate
that
a
lot
of
those
other
elements
will
get
cleared
up
and
then
there's
another
category
that
are
linked
to
end-to-end
testing
with
the
vehicles
that
drive
the
final
sign-off.
On
those
other
elements,
I.
H
G
They've
done
some
really
really
good
work.
They
have
taken
our
advice
on
things
such
as
stations
and
so
forth.
We
need
to-
and
we
have
I
can
assure
you
myself,
the
city
manager
and
others,
and
we
need
to
send
a
clear
message
to
our
TG
that
Alstom
needs
to
focus
on
those
vehicles
and
again
they're
great
vehicles.
It's
a
great
product.
They
need
to
get
that
final
push
to
get
those.
You
know
lists
of
issues
that
have
been
identified,
that
everybody
is
agreed
to.
Alstom
agrees
to
them.
G
Rtg
agrees
to
them,
and
I
am
relentless
with
RTG
to
say
you
have
that
contract
with
Alstom,
unlike
other
properties
where
people
have
gone
off
and
bought
their
own
vehicles
and
that
could
have
brought
you
to
a
whole
different,
problematic
space
that
risk
and
liability
rests
with
RTG
and
loud
strong
messages,
including
today,
is
Alstom.
You
better
be
listening.
You
got
to
get
those
trains
done.
G
H
G
You
have
a
wide
range
of
tools
in
your
toolkit.
You
have
not
paid
them
to
date
and
trust
me.
The
penalties
are
double
digits
that
they
have
incurred
on
interest
costs
and
carrying
costs
and
financial
costs.
It's
very,
very
they're
feeling
a
lot
of
financial
pain.
That's
why
they
want
to
get
to
substantial
completion,
so
they
get
a
partial
payment
and
you've
not
paid
them
anything.
You
have
penalized
them
every
time.
G
H
I
just
want
to
quickly
note
it
might
have
passed
by
some
people's
attention
because
there's
a
lot
of
information,
the
presentation,
the
interconnection
with
Via,
Rail
and
I
think
that's
a
wonderful
component,
because
they'll
really
enhance
our
system
and
add
to
our
transportation
network.
So
I,
just
I
wanted
to
thank
you
for
your
work
with
that
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
that
interconnection
and
integration
of
the
system.
So
thank
you.
I
G
I
G
G
I
I
G
I
G
I
G
G
There
is
some
elements
associated
with
the
telephone
system
for
inside
the
escalators
and
so
forth,
which
are
linked
to
some
of
the
subsystems
and
then
the
rest
I
would
characterize.
There's
a
linkage
to
the
vehicles
being
able
to
get
to
that
final
state
which
drives
a
bunch
of
end-to-end
tests.
So
it's
not
that
they're
not
going
to
make
it
it's.
They
just
need
to
clear
up
some
of
the
the
deficiencies
in
the
vehicles
and
then
they
can
do
the
final
testing,
and
then
that
gets
us
to
the
state
that
we
need
to
get
to.
G
G
Mr.
mayor
I'm
gonna,
look
to
mr.
O'connor
I.
Think
I
need
to
be
cautious
in
a
public
domain
as
to
what
exactly
we've
given
them
and
what
we've
given
to
the
independent
certified,
because
I
don't
want
to
cloud
I'll
talk
generally
terms.
There
is
nothing
out
of
the
ordinary
that
we're
seeing
the
vehicles.
That's
not
typical
of
startups.
A
G
G
I
G
It's
it's
it's
a
wide
range
of
minor
things,
such
as
an
example
is
there
was
a
sliding
door
in
the
in
the
vehicle
cab
that
needed
to
be
repaired.
It's
an
example,
so
you've
got
a
wide
range
of
things,
but
there's
no
nothing
major
that
the
expert,
independent
people
that
have
brought
in
from
a
vehicle
perspective
are
saying
well.
This
is
something
we
haven't
seen
or
there's
a
fundamental
flaw
in
the
vehicle
design
or
anything
like
that.
It's
typical
startup
of
vehicles
going
into
the
Revenue
Service.
G
So
it's
time
focus
and
laser
attention
to
detail
to
getting
those
vehicles
done,
and
you
know
the
one
side
of
kind
of
being
empathetic
to
our
TG
and
Alstom
is
they
are
also
doing
testing
and
commissioning
and
parallels.
So
it's
you
know
that
that
that
combination
of
fixies,
minor
defects
and
get
trains
out
for
testing
and
commissioning
service.
So
it's
a
it's
a
it's
a
balancing
act
that
they're
doing
okay.
I
D
So
the
the
setup
of
this
contract
as
a
p3
there's,
no,
the
specific
warranty
is
really
between
Austin
and
Reno,
transit
group
or
Austin,
and
their
builder
for
us
are
our
kind
of
confirmation.
Our
warranty
is
the
30-year
performance
agreement.
It's
the
measuring
the
mileage
on
a
month
by
month
basis,
they
need
to
meet
those
mileage
requirements
if
they
don't
then
they're
penalize
for
that.
D
So
our
tool,
you
know
in
our
tool
kit
during
the
service
period
the
30
years,
it's
really
about
meeting
the
performance
metrics
everything
else
about
you
know,
defects
and
life
cycle
and
routine
maintenance,
and
you
know
updates
to
the
vehicle
date
to
the
software.
That's
all
owned
by
Rideau
transit
group
in
their
subcontract
to
two
Alstom.
For
us,
it's
about
the
monthly
service,
the
monthly
service
payments
and
it's
the
monthly
performance.
Okay,.
I
G
I,
you
know
me
with
gates
if
they
make
that
date
year
into
a
summer,
launch
and
I
want
to
talk
about
bus
operations
and
and
and
you
folks,
because
I
got
to
take
care
of
you
and
the
customers.
You
have
a
bunch
of
things
associated
with
the
buses.
Mister
journeys,
counselor
journeys
nodding
I
want
reliability
up,
I
got
to
get
the
train
launch
to
get
the
reliability
up.
I'm,
tired
of
canceling
routes
and
hearing
about
it.
I
know
you
get
the
brunt
of
it.
I
want
his
counselor
cabin
on
the
five
million
dollar
expansion.
G
She
asked
me
every
time
she
sees
me
with
the
investment
you
made
in
the
budget.
I
want
to
launch
that
so
I
will
do
everything
in
my
power
with
my
team
to
get
the
launch
going
as
quickly
as
we
can,
and
the
mayor
has
been
very
clear
with
me
and
so
as
a
city
manager.
What's
the
reasonable
timeframe
for
safe,
reliable
launch
of
the
Train
and
all
your
other
benefits
that
come
out
of
launching
this
train
reliability,
a
bus
service
going
up
its
your
five
million
dollar
investment
through
budget
staff
who
are
exhausted
yourselves?
G
I
A
great
way
it's,
my
next
question,
which
is
some
of
my
colleagues,
have
already
already
been
doing:
they're
ready
for
real
sessions
with
their
constituents
and
I
would
like
to
do
that
too,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
we're
ready
for
real
would
like
to
do
it.
So
can
you
give
us
an
indication
of
maybe
not
today,
but
sometime
soon,
can
you
send
us
a
memo
when
it
would
make
sense
that
we're
at
the
point
where
we
think
ready
for
rail
session
would
be
an
appropriate
time
frame?
I.
G
Can
do
that
counselor
I'm
happy
to
meet
with
you
right,
I
would
do
it
now.
I
I
think
it's
a
great
thing,
we're
getting
great
benefits.
The
uplift
in
people
are
getting
it
and
you
know
I
know
some
people
are
asking
when
when
when
but
a
lot
of
people
the
feedback
I'm
hearing
is.
This
is
great
and
I
can't
wait
for
it
so
happy
to
work
with
your
office
and
we'll
give
you
whatever
you
need.
Okay,.
I
And
and
you're
absolutely
right
there,
five
million
dollars
I,
know
that
ninety
eight
and
my
ward
is
part
of
that,
and
you
know:
I'm
I
have
to
have
a
public
meeting,
because
people
are
so
fed
up
with
it
and
I
just
would
like
to
be
able
to
give
them
some
news
about.
When
we're
going
to
implement
those
improvements.
Do
you
have
any
sense
of
that?
It's.
G
After
the
Train
is
launched,
we
have
all
that
mapped
out
counselor,
it's
ready
to
go
the
team's
been
working
literally
every
single
day,
weekend's
mapping,
all
that
out
and
as
I've
told
RTG.
You
know
because
they
complained
to
me
about
their
stress,
come
and
live
the
stress
of
the
DLC
transport
team.
We
need
to
deliver
on
what
you've
asked
for,
and
the
bus
component
is
very,
very
important.
G
A
G
A
D
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
a
couple
of
things:
mr.
McCarney
I
just
want
to
follow
up
on.
You
were
saying
some
of
the
outstanding
issues
in
response
to
councillor
Dean's.
One
of
them,
for
example,
is
the
testing
of
the
the
ventilation
system
in
the
tunnel.
You've
talked
about
that
here
at
this
meeting
multiple
times
my
understanding,
the
testing
and
everything's
all
done
it's
just
a
matter
of
having
and
we're
all
in
agreement
or
not
it's
just
a
matter
of
having
the
certification.
Is
that
correct?
There's.
G
D
D
We
are
getting
so
close
to
this
launch
date.
You
also
transport,
does
not
have
the
capacity
to
do
all
ready
for
rail
a
week
out
from
when
it
launches
all
across
the
city.
Correct.
That's
why
we
started
early
with
these,
because
residents
have
been
asking
I
see.
Councillor
lulav
shaken
said
he
was
a
big
part
of
putting
the
East
End
one
together.
The
residents
have
been
asking
for
this
information
and
part
of
what
happens
out.
D
Ready
for
rail
is
COC
transport
people
set
up
laptops
with
the
trip
planner
that's
available
to
the
public
and
everything
I
know
last
night
session.
Most
people
did
take
advantage
of
that
opportunity.
So
could
you
please
elaborate
on
that
that
you
know
we
don't
have
the
capacity
to
do
this
the
week
before
the
launch.
It
has
to
be
anybody
interested
in
doing
this.
I
think
councillor
egg
wise
already
done
one.
You
need
to
get
out
ahead
of
time
on
this
and
give
people
a
chance
to
see
what
the
impacts
are.
G
Councillor
I
couldn't
agree
with
you
more
the
single
most
important
thing
that
occurs
once
people
get
over
the
the
hype
of
wow,
it
looks
great.
How
does
it
affect
me
and
that's
the
single
most
important
thing
is
how
how
is
my
trip
changing
and
what
do
I
do.
That's
why
we've
launched
the
trip
planner
in
advance?
We
just
launched
the
website
yesterday
and
yes
at
those
forms
we
bring.
We
brought
extra
staff
because
we
learned
at
the
East
End.
It
was
okay,
great
I,
like
the
pictures.
G
D
You
and
we're
also
going
to
ask
for
counselors
help
to
promote
the
read
best
program
which
they're
available
at
those
sessions
as
well,
but
for
people
to
know
that
we're
going
to
have
people
deployed
at
all
the
stations
with
these
red
vests
so
that
if
you've
got
a
question
but
okay,
you
know
how
do
I
connect
to
my
boss
or
my
next
dream.
Whatever
go
up
to
one
of
these
people
and
they'll
be
able
to
help
you
correct.
D
G
Mr.
mayor,
so
we're
mapping
out
scenarios
for
launch,
but
also
we've
sustained
the
service
and
we
had
to
get
through
the
delays
and
so
forth,
and
that
causes
a
lot
of
back-and-forth
and
so
or
you
know,
really
what
I
would
I
know.
The
chair
is
pointing
to
is
a
big
gratitude
to
the
staff
and
to
the
union
partners
who
have
been
phenomenal.
They
have
really
worked
with
us
on
changing
things
such
as
booking
rules,
overtime,
rules
and
so
forth,
and
it's
it's
a
bit
of
a
back-and-forth.
G
C
I
think
I
got
it.
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you.
Mr.
Mahoney.
As
you
know,
I've
always
asked
the
same
questions,
but
it's
it's
related
to
the
bus
routes,
because
you
you
mentioned
that
we
have
to
wait
a
little
while
and,
as
you
know,
it
was
September
2nd.
This
past
year
we're
in
the
road
routes
got
changed.
Preparing
for
LRT,
so
it'll
be
almost
a
year
to
get
back
things
like
the
number
11
bus
route
and
and
you're
saying
that,
there's
a
delay
between
the
train
starting
and
when
those
bus
routes
are
changing.
G
Don't
have
that
exact
period,
it
depends
when
they
turn
it
over
to
us,
because
we
have.
You
know.
You've
heard
me
talk
about
that
logistics,
change
for
booking
and
bus
count
and
so
forth.
We're
also
overlaying
and
again.
This
is
part
of
the
stress,
we're
all
feeling
you
know
again,
a
counselor
attorney
just
go
back
to
him.
He's
asking
you.
Why
add
I
think
five
cancellations
this
week,
not
a
good
week
for
his
ward.
G
You
know
we're
also
overlaying
all
the
road
projects
we
weren't
supposed
to
be
this
late
on
our
TGS
delay
and
I've
got
the
shoddier
bridge.
It's
closed.
I've
got
all
those
things,
so
we're
layering
all
those
layers
of
complexity.
It
depends
when
they
turn
it
over
to
us.
So
we'll
know
when
we
get
towards
the
end
of
trial
running
well.
Certainly
when
we
walk
into
RSA
and
we'll
have,
we
are
planning
a
full
update
to
the
Transit
Commission
to
answer
exactly
those
questions
and
those
are
councillor
Dean's
and
everybody
else
that
are
asking
right
now.
G
C
G
Mr.
Strummer
is
going
to
be
something
I
would
have
now
regard
again
not
to
get
to
down
into
the
weeds,
but
we're
looking
at
multiples.
This
speaks
to
what
share
hubely
is
speaking
about.
Is
you
know
we're
looking
at?
Do
we
expedite
things
such
as
your
route,
change,
with
going
with
double
maps
on
the
bus
stops
and
shelters
so
that
we
just
peel
the
first
one
off
get
through
the
summer
service?
G

A
A
Michael
Crockett
is
also
here
from
Ottawa
tourism
and
continues
to
do
good
work
for
us
and
following
that
we'll
have
the
Montreal

Community,
Improvement,

I
know
we
have
three
members
of
the
public
that
would
like
to
speak
to
that
particular
item
and
we'll
hear
from
them
as
well.

A
K
Do
thank
you
and
good
morning,
it's
my
pleasure
this
morning
to
introduce
Michael
Crockett,
who
is
the
president
and
CEO
of
Ottawa
tourism
who
joins
me
this
morning
to
provide
an
update
on
the
success
of
the
municipal
accommodation
tax
in
2018.
I'd
also
like
to
recognize
our
colleague
Steve
ball,
who
is
a
president
of
Ojha,
who
is
a
partner
also
in
the
municipal
accommodation
tax
and
to
my
left,
is
Leslie
Van
Cleef,
who
is
the
BSS
representative
who's
going
to
help
us
with
our
slides
this
morning?.
K
In
2004,
a
voluntary
destination
marketing
fee
was
introduced
in
Ottawa
administered
by
the
Ottawa
Gatineau
Hotel
Association.
It
provided
the
necessary
funding
for
Ottawa
tourism
to
market
Ottawa
as
a
destination
of
choice
and
make
strategic
investments
in
tourism
development
for
our
city.
In
the
fourth
quarter
of
2017,
the
province
enacted
legislation
to
allow
municipalities
to
implement
two
mandatory
municipal
munis
municipal
accommodation,
tax,
City
Council
approved
that
report
in
December
2017,
and
we
adopted
a
4%
mat
which
was
effective,
January
1st
2018.
K
We
then
entered
into
a
tripart
agreement
with
Ottawa
tourism
and
ojha,
and
this
agreement
confirms
ojha
as
our
collector
of
the
municipal
accommodation
tax.
The
city
was
able
to
leverage
the
existing
ojha
processes,
infrastructure
and
relationships
in
place
with
the
local
hotel
your's
from
the
DMF
to
make
a
smooth
transition.
Rolling
of
the
mat
in
a
very
short
timeframe.
K
Accommodators
in
the
city
are
required
to
collect
the
mat
on
every
stay
under
30
days.
Traditional
bed
and
breakfasts
are
exempted
from
the
mat
if
they
meet
our
requirements.
O
JSA
Ojha
collects
the
mat
revenue
each
month
from
the
accommodators
and
the
mat
revenue
is
in
shared
with
Ottawa
tourism,
in
accordance
with
the
provincial
regulations
and
our
tripart
agreement.
I'm
gonna
hand
it
over
to
my
colleague
mr.
Crockett,
from
Ottawa
tourism
who's
going
to
walk
you
through
the
2018
investments
and
the
successes
they've
seen.
L
Thanks
very
much
Wendy,
and
so
it's
been
a
actually
true
pleasure,
working
with
you
and
your
team
on
implementation
of
the
match
for
the
first
year.
So
thank
you
for
all
your
team's
work
on
that
as
well.
What
happens
with
the
mat
when
it
comes
to
Ottawa?
Tourism
is
divided
into
two
funds,
so
one
of
them
is
called
the
marketing
fund,
which
is
representing
3
percent
of
the
total
4
percent
of
the
mat
and
the
other
is
the
development
fund.
L
L
And,
of
course,
the
you
all
know
this
I
think.
But
the
oops
I
skipped
one
forward
there.
There
we
go.
The
the
industry
is
a
significant
part
of
our
economy.
It
is
the
second
largest
private
sector
employer
in
our
city,
with
43,000
jobs
that
are
dependent
on
tourism,
it's
generating
over
2.2
billion
dollars
and
visitor
expenditures
in
our
community,
and
it's
an
incredible
it
contributor
to
the
tax
base
as
well.
L
So
I
know
I'm
telling
you
something
you
already
know,
but
it's
a
it's
a
it's
important
to
repeat
that
this
is
a
good
ROI
investment
for
for
our
community.
So
what
do
we
do
with
the
mat
revenue?
So
it
so
in
a
few
different
areas
of
our
organization
that
that
the
mat
funding
supports
on
the
marketing
side
of
things,
which
is
actually
a
large
portion
of
the
revenue,
goes
towards
marketing.
L
But
I
want
to
give
you
one
example
of
what
we've
been
able
to
do
with
the
mat
funding
that
we
weren't
able
to
do
as
much
of
previously.
You
know
we
do
invest
in
international
marketing
for
our
community,
and
you
can
imagine
how
difficult
it
would
be
for
any
individual
tourism
business
or
entrepreneur
to
be
able
to
market
themselves
internationally.
They
just
don't
have
the
wherewithal
to
be
doing
that.
L
So
that's
why
the
collective
effort
of
an
organization
like
ours
really
contributes
to
to
supporting
those
businesses
to
expose
their
their
their
services
internationally,
and
you
can
see
what
we've
been
able
to
do
in
2018
and
2019
in
terms
of
growing
our
own
investment
in
the
international
marketplace.
Just
on
the
pure
marketing
side
of
things.
L
This
is
working
with
two
operators
and
in
group
itinerary
planners
again,
we
able
to
be
out
there
in
the
market
and
distributing
leads
and
business
opportunities
to
Ottawa
based
businesses,
so
they're
able
to
directly
communicate
with
with
clients
and
grow
their
businesses.
We're
able
to
host
406
fan
participants,
that's
familiarization
tours,
so
we
bring
tour
operators
here
to
Ottawa
to
experience
the
city
experience
the
attractions
and
the
accommodations
so
that
they
can
decide
to
increase
their
their
own
offerings
from
Ottawa
and
we've
seen
19
new
or
expanded
itineraries
for
Ottawa.
L
That
was
helped
significantly
by
the
the
presence
of
the
map,
but
also
demonstrates
why
there
needs
to
be
a
sort
of
a
long-term
commitment
to
these
things,
because
it
takes
a
lot
of
touch.
Points
for
us
to
to
attract
a
business
was
a
Canadian.
Sky
is
a
British
tour
operator,
the
called
Canadians
guide,
but
they're
based
in
the
UK
they
offered
they
offered
tours
to
Canada.
L
So
we,
our
contractor
in
the
UK
Kay,
was
the
first
contact
with
with
Canadian
Sky
that
led
to
a
follow
up
by
our
team,
which
led
to
us
targeting
that
operator
during
a
sales
blitz
that
we
had
in
the
UK,
along
with
our
partners
from
tourism,
ood
away
again
that
led
to
having
the
ability
to
to
show
them
some
new
product,
that's
available
in
Ottawa
that
they
weren't
aware
of.
Then
we
met
with
that
client.
L
Subsequently,
last
year
around
this
time
at
rendezvous
Canada,
which
was
being
held
in
Halifax
last
year,
they
came
to
Ottawa
to
participate
in
a
familiar
ization
tour
with
lapolt,
which
was
a
great
experience.
We
invited
them
to
come
to
our
European
client
event
that
we
had
in
June
last
year
and
then
in
the
fall
of
2018.
That
client
launched
a
new
tour
itinerary
of
Ottawa
with
with
five
nights,
and
so
you
can
see
like
that
that
took
that
many
touch
points
and
that
many
that
many
sales
initiatives
for
us
to
get
that
there.
L
But
you
can
imagine
the
impact
that
that,
having
that
as
part
of
the
the
sales
of
the
sales
opportunities
for
in
the
UK,
we've
now
got
a
new
five.
Nine
eight
in
our
area,
people
are
purchasing
to
come
to
visit
Ottawa,
that's
a
big
win
for
for
us
and
for
our
community
and
for
our
stake
holders
on
the
meetings
and
major
events
side
of
things.
The
mat
has
been
extremely
helpful
in
increasing
our
presence
there.
L
Since
the
mat
was
introduced,
we
have
confirmed
304
conferences,
almost
95,000
delegates,
52
major
events
and
we've
that's
an
estimated
economic
impact
of
almost
sixty
million
dollars.
Just
from
that
part
of
the
business
that's
been,
that's
been
helped
by
the
mat
and
again
the
things
that
we're
able
to
do
that.
Any
individual
part
of
our
tourism
infrastructure.
L
We
won
last
year
for
2022
and
that's
gonna
have
3,000
firefighters
coming
to
Ottawa
in
in
2022
in
the
summer,
with
a
huge
economic
impact
and
again,
the
mat
funding
helped
us
to
be
able
to
secure
that
business
through
our
efforts,
along
with
our
local
partners
as
well.
If
you
haven't
seen
the
video
of
that
of
the
actual
award
or
the
voting
by
the
firefighters
to
award
the
event
to
Ottawa,
it's
actually
quite
inspiring
to
see
this
unanimous
vote
as
they
elected
Ottawa
against
Las
Vegas.
L
So
it's
pretty
inspiring
to
watch
I'm
a
major
of
n
side
of
things,
sporting
events.
We
are
again
there's
23
venues
across
the
city
that
we
have
that
we've
helped
to
attract
major
events
to
different
venues
across
the
city.
This
has
ranged
everything
from
traditional
sporting
than
used
to
places
like
the
ey
Center,
even
the
Shaw
Center
that
are
hosting
sporting
events
now
as
well,
one
of
the
biggest
ones
well,
the
biggest
one.
L
The
initiative
that
we've
done
on
the
major
events
side
of
things
is
in
a
partnership
with
indigenous
sport
and
wellness
Ontario,
where
we're
helping
to
bring
both
the
2021
and
2023
masters
indigenous
games
to
Ottawa,
as
well
as
the
2021
Ontario
summer,
indigenous
games.
Since
this
is
a
huge,
huge
multi-sport
events
that
are
coming
to
our
community,
you
can
see
over
6,000
athletes
coming
for
these
events,
one
of
the
great
things
about
the
mat
is
its
enabled
us
to
become
certainly
Canadian
leaders
and
really
North
American
leaders
in
the
area
of
destination
development.
L
There's
dedicated
funding
that
goes
towards
this.
My
colleague
Catherine
calorie,
our
vp
of
destination
development
in
the
room-
and
this
has
put
us
at
the
forefront
of
taking
that
long-term
view
of
tourism
and
enabling
us
to
invest
in
projects
and
initiatives
that
are
really
enhancing
the
visitor
experience
in
our
community.
You
can
see:
we've
got
five
streams
of
funding
through
our
destination
development
fund,
supporting
entrepreneurs
and
other
local
organizations
in
enhancing
their
offerings
to
visitors
as
well,
and
its
really
been
split
so
far.
L
The
committed
funds
wouldn't
split
sort
of
others
over
three
of
those
streams,
but
you
can
see
of
the
the
applications
that
we
have
underway
now
and
some
of
the
future
inquiries
that
we
have.
It's
really
spread
across
all
five
of
those
of
those
funding
streams.
For
us
and
again,
this
is
something
that
seen
projects
projects
funded
across
the
city.
Everything
you
know
from
one
of
my
favorites.
The
thematic
dock
at
mahogany.
L
So
this
was
something
that
has
been
forefront
of
our
mind
in
terms
of
protecting
against
this,
this
type
of
hangover
from
our
2017
celebrations
and
the
good
news
is
that
we've
been
able
to
not
only
hold
our
own
but
now
again
start
to
grow
in
2019,
and
we
again
we
would
not
have
been
able
to
do
that
as
successfully
without
the
support
of
the
the
mat
agreement,
and
you
can
see
certainly
on
the
US
and
international
side
of
things.
We're
actually
increasing
our
market
share
still
since
since
2017.
L
So
a
good
sign
of
successful
things
that
we've
been
able
to
do
as
a
community
with
the
support
of
the
mat
and
we
we
don't
have
the
final
numbers
for
2018
still.
Yet
we
always
talk
about
the
fact
that
there's
just
no
turnstiles
on
the
outside
of
the
cities
and
we
never
know
exactly
how
many
people
have
come
in,
but
what
we
really
we've
held,
our
own
for
our
record-setting
2017
numbers
and
certainly
in
2019,
we're
on
pace
to
to
exceed
again
our
2017
numbers.
L
K
Michael
2018
was
a
very
successful
year,
as
you
can
see
for
a
municipal
accommodation
tax.
We
were
able
to
leverage
oGH,
a's
relationships,
processes
that
led
to
the
successful
implementation
and
the
onboarding
of
our
new
collectors.
Our
compliance
rate
was
excellent.
At
98
percent,
we
had
two
small
issues
with
two
small
collectors
and
all
amounts
that
were
due
were
collected
with
our
first
year
under
a
bell:
we're
taking
the
opportunity
to
review
best
practices,
processes
and
our
bylaw.
K
We've
also
also
conducted
a
benchmarking
exercise
of
those
who
have
implemented
the
mat
in
Ontario,
and
that
leads
us
to
the
conclusion
that
we
our
best
practice
based
on
our
review.
Will
we
recommending
three
tweaks
to
our
bylaw
to
ensure
that
it's
clear
to
all
the
collectors
in
terms
of
the
terms
in
conditions
that
were
offering
and
what
they're
supposed
to
do?
The
first
is
to
provide
additional
clarity
for
no-shows
and
cancellations
to
in,
to
ensure
that
it's
clear
to
the
collectors
when
the
mat
is
applicable.
K
The
second
recommendation
is
to
formalize
the
dispute
resolution
process
that
we
have
in
place
today
and
we
want
to
be
transparent
and
include
that
in
our
bylaw
and,
lastly,
is
to
include
a
provision
for
self-assessment,
meaning
the
municipality
can
assess
an
amount
do
where
the
collector
has
to
failed
to
report
or
remit.
All
three
recommended
changes
are
consistent
with
other
municipalities
who
have
implemented
the
municipal
accommodation.
K
Tax
Auto
is
the
first
city
in
Ontario
to
implement
them
on,
and
we've
received
widespread
attention
for
best
practice
as
an
example
in
all
the
other
communities
I'd
like
to
thank
my
partners,
o
GHA
and
Ottawa
tourism,
for
making
this
success.
It's
been
a
true
pleasure.
Working
with
you,
I'd
also
like
to
extend
my
sincere
thanks
to
my
staff,
who
worked
tirelessly
to
make
this
happen
in
a
very
short
timeframe.
From
the
time
of
the
accounts,
all
approval
to
the
implementation.
A
Merci,
beaucoup
a
few
Stasi
Oh
No.
Thank
you.
This
is
a
great
example
of
a
public-private
partnership.
Working
with
the
hotel
industry.
I
noticed
Eve.
All
the
president
of
the
Ottawa
gana
Hotel
Association
is
here,
who's
been
very
instrumental
and
Michael
you
and
your
team
and
Wendy
and
your
team.
You
know
this
has
been
a
real
boost
to
our
ability
to
promote
Ottawa,
not
just
nationally
but
now
internationally,
because
we
have
a
steady
revenue
stream.
That's
coming
in.
A
H
You
mr.
mayor,
this
has
been
a
very
positive
presentation.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you've
done
and
all
the
the
local
businesses
that
have
partnered
with
you
to
work
to
get
us
to
this
level.
I
did
want
to
ask,
though,
that
the
the
provincial
government
recently
announced
that
they
were
going
to
be
cutting
3.4
million
dollars
to
your
to
your
budget
and
I
wanted
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
what
you
anticipate.
L
Thank
You
councillor
and
thank
you
for
your
support
about
what
we
do.
We
really
do
appreciate
it
yeah
it
was.
It
was
a
it's
disappointing
news
that
we
will
be
losing
our
provincial
funding
for
our
role
as
a
regional
tourism
organization.
Yeah
at
three
point.
Four
million
dollars
per
year
is
a
significant
portion
of
our
budget,
so
either
it's
not
something
that
can
just
be
easily
absorbed
and
expect
the
same,
the
same
sort
of
activity
and
deliverables.
L
But
certainly
there
will
be
some
things
that
we
intended
to
do
this
year
and
we
plan
to
do
this
year
that
we
just
won't
be
able
to
do
because
the
funding
isn't
there.
I
should
say
some
of
those
things
are
a
direct
result
of
the
mandate
and
the
funding
from
the
province.
So
those
are
the
sort
of
the
easiest
ones
to
to
go
away,
because
if
there's
no
funding,
there's
no
mandate
to
to
do
some
of
those.
L
Those
things
that
particularly
outside
the
City
of
Ottawa
but
but
no
question
that'll,
still
hurt
our
ability,
but
it
shouldn't
impact
the
the
visitor
experience
here.
It
shouldn't
impact
in
in
a
short-term
wavy
the
ability
for
us
to
put
effective
campaigns
in
the
market
for
marketing
and
sales
initiatives
and.
H
H
You
know
I
had
mentioned
to
you
that,
and
you
were
working
on
looking
at
connecting
that
and
having
that
there
was
a
slide
that
you
put
up
that
showed
72
opportunities
throughout
our
city
for
ongoing
tourism.
So
this
is
something
that's
not
just
going
to
affect
the
downtown
downtown
core.
In
my
mind,
this
affects
our
entire
city,
including
all
of
our
wards.
I
was
going
to
put
forward
an
inquiry
to
city
staff
that
spoke
to
this.
That
asked
about
the
economic
benefits
to
the
city.
H
What
they
anticipate
this
cut
in
provincial
budget
to
Ottawa
tourism
would
do
for
us
going
forward,
and
just
if
there
was
any
anticipation
that
the
Ottawa
and
the
city,
our
taxpayers,
would
have
to
absorb
some
of
the
responsibilities
for
marketing
and
promoting
Ottawa
in
the
wake
of
this
and
I
was
wondering.
Maybe
because
I
have
you
here,
Wendy
if
you
would
be
able
to
speak
to
that
momentarily.
K
I
can't
speak
to
it
fully.
I
mean
Michael
had
a
wonderful
slide.
They
talked
about
the
economic
impact
of
all
the
visitors
that
do
come
to
our
city,
I
think
it's
safe
to
say
that
there
will
be
an
impact
in
terms
of
what
that
spend
is
going
to
look
like
because
there
could
be
less
folks
coming.
I
can
work
with
the
folks
in
economic
development,
and
we
can
get
you
a
more
fulsome
answer
on
that,
if
that's
appropriate
for
you
and
acceptable.
Maybe.
H
I
could
ask
that
Michael
I
understand
you
report
back
regularly
on
an
annual
basis
to
to
fedko.
Maybe
if
I
can
ask
that
Ottawa
Tourism
keep
an
eye
on
this
and
maybe
present
back
and
I'll
remove
this
inquiry
from
city
staff
just
so
that
I
think
you're
better
place
to
have
an
eye
on
what
this
will
do
to
our
local
economy
and
if
you
can
provide
it
with
us
with
that
update
in
the
coming
year,
we're.
L
I
Thank
You
mr.
Maron,
thank
you
for
the
important
work
that
you
do
in
our
community.
Obviously
it's
great
having
you
here
in
that
municipal
commentation
tax
has,
you
know,
worked
out
great
as
well.
I
think
lots
from
my
ward
because
I
seem
to
be
building
hotels
all
the
time
they
just
popping
up
like
daisies
in
my
ward,
but
I
just
wondered
what
percentage
increase
in
your
budget
resulted
from
the
municipal
accommodation,
tax.
L
I'm
going
from
memory
here,
so
it
depends
on
how
you
ask
that
question.
The
the
the
DMF,
which
was
the
oil
voluntary
program,
was
a
3%
model
which
didn't
include
quite
100%
of
the
hotels,
not
all
of
them
participated.
So
I
think,
I'm,
I
think
our
budget
for
2017
budget,
not
necessarily
what
was
finally
generated.
I
think
our
budget
for
2017
from
that
part
of
the
funding
was
about
8
to
9
million
dollars,
and
then
we
budgeted
in
2018.
L
L
L
Strings
than
you
can
imagine,
yeah
there's
their
strings
attached
to
every
piece
of
funding
that
we
get.
In
fact,
we
we
always
say
internally
that
there's
there's
not
a
piece
of
funding
that
we
have
that
we
can
spend
money
on
that,
doesn't
have
at
least
two
levels
of
approval
for
the
budget
or
first
ending
it,
but.
L
Well,
yeah,
beware,
we
absorb
isn't
maybe
the
way
we're,
certainly
adjusting
what
we're
doing
and
and
there's
there
are.
You
know
there
are
things
that
we
had
ramped
up
from
previous
years.
Like
you
say
we
have,
we
had
more
funding
now
than
we
had
in
previous
years,
or
there
were
things
that
we
had
ramped
up,
but
that
also
comes
with
those
expectations.
L
You
know
the
people
who
are
investing
in
the
hotels
in
your
ward
are
doing
so
because
they
have
this
confidence
in
where
the
market
is
going
and
and
I
think
for
them
to
understand
that
there
was
now
3.4
million
dollars
brought
out
of
the
system
will
probably
be
concerning
to
their
confidence
levels
as
well.
Ok,
ok,.
E
Good
see
Maxine
admire
and
thank
you,
mr.
Crockett,
for
your
presentation
and
it's
that
impressive
numbers,
43,000
direct
and
indirect
jobs.
The
third
largest
sector
in
in
our
local
economy,
after
the
government
and
high-tech
employment
is,
is
very
important
and-
and
we
certainly
did
see
in
2017
the
wonderful
work
that
Ottawa
tourism
did
and
how
we
positioned
ourselves
with
the
tourism
summit,
to
to
avoid
that.
What
you
referred
to
is
that
as
that
hangover,
just
a
quick
question
based
on
the
report
and
the
Airbnb
MACT
tax
revenue.
Is
it
as
per
expectations?
Was
there?
K
Correct,
yes,
we've
budgeted
for
2019
half
a
million
dollars,
we're
anticipating
that
it
will
be
greater
than
that
based
on
the
activity
that's
happening
in
the
market.
However,
there
is
a
study
underway
in
terms
of
what's
happening
with
that
market
in
looking
at
sort
of
regulating
it
or
not.
So
we're
not
going
to
adjust
that
budgetary
amount
until
we
know
what's
happening
in
the
market,
but
we
expect
to
be
slightly
over
budget
in
2013.
Thank.
E
You,
the
and
just
quickly
following
up
on
councillor
on
deputy
mayor
dude,
asses
question
with
respect
to
the
the
cut
to
the
regional
tourism
budget
and
are
there
opportunities
that
we
can
explore
with
the
federal
with
the
provincial
government
I
apologize
with
respect
to
project
based
funding
for
special
projects
and
I'm.
Thinking,
of
course,
of
our
efforts
to
to
have
the
Machine
come
back,
which
would
have
an
impact.
E
L
Collapse
that
a
couple
of
different
ways,
1st
2017
success,
was
relative,
great
leadership,
so
we
had
great
people
on
the
board
of
2017
and
that
helped
for
that.
For
sure,
with
you
know
the
question
of
other
funding
sources,
that's
definitely
become
a
bigger
priority
for
us
now
on
the
provincial
side
of
things
we
just
don't
know
yet
what
the
provinces,
tourism
strategy
is
going
to
look
like
they've
been
undertaking
consultations
earlier
this
year.
They
have
told
us
that
a
new
tourism
strategy
will
be
forthcoming
in
the
next
weeks
and
months.
L
But
at
this
point
we
just
don't
know
for
sure
what
that's
going
to
look
like,
but
I
will
also
say
you
know
you
you,
you
mentioned
federal
side
of
things
as
well
and
we're
looking
at
that
as
well,
so
we're
looking
at
all
different,
all
different
part
possibilities
to
partner
with
different
levels
of
government,
but
also
private
sector
partners
as
well,
because
it's
it's
it's
partly
a
cost-cutting
challenge
for
us,
but
it's
also
partly
a
creativity
on
the
revenue
side
of
things
problem
for
us
too.
It.
E
Was
a
slip
but
you're
absolutely
right
with
respect
to
the
to
the
federal
and
I.
My
only
last
comment
or
question
is
recently:
tourism,
Ottawa
and
invest
Ottawa
launched.
Think
Ottawa,
posse
Ottawa,
which
which
brings
conventions
and
and
the
firefighters
is,
is
what
you
you
brought
in
pediatric
oncology
conventions
to
our
city
is
that
impacted
we
had
just
launched,
that
is
that
impacted
by
the
the
regional
tourism.
L
B
Thank
you
very
much.
I
know
that
when
it
comes
to
the
events
that
we
host
I've
had
a
pleasure
to
work
with
Dale
Cox
who's
incredible
on
this
stuff,
we
work
together
creating
a
relationship
with
Gulf
Canada,
which
has
been
quite
beneficial
for
for
the
auto
market,
but
there's
also
the
larger
events
that
are
some
was
more
difficult
to
obtain.
B
I
know:
I
spoke
with
Jo
once
about
FIBA
the
FIBA
Olympic
qualifier,
because
Canada
was
playing
in
one
of
the
three
qualifiers,
but
I
think
they
wanted
something
like
15
million
dollars
just
to
host,
which
I
don't
know
if
the
return.
The
investment
is
believe
that
smart,
but
some
of
those
smaller
events,
you
look
at
said.
The
marshes
hosted
the
2015
2017
world
junior
girls
championship
and
just
recently,
Ottawa
hosted
the?
B
U
14
in
the:
u
16
boys
and
girls
on
share
of
Basketball
Association
championships
and
that
I
know
my
son
played
in
the
U
14.
It
was.
It
was
quite
beneficial.
Normally
we
go
to
Toronto
and
get
up.
We
smoked
a
whole
weekend.
It
was
kind
of
nice
for
the
charities
to
come
here
and
smoke
us
so
I.
Don't
have
to
be
away
from
home
enough
to
drive
so
far
to
get
drilled
by
50
points,
but
but
the
key
thing
is
that
that
event
was
all
over
the
city.
B
You
could
say
you
don't
have
to
pay
a
group,
an
association
that
may
or
may
not
be
corrupt
15
million
dollars
to
come
to
you
to
Ottawa,
because
you
can
get
these
local
associations
that
actually
come
here
in
and
have
the
great
impact
on
our
local
economy,
so
I
hope
it
I.
Imagine
we
are
working
on
those
events.
L
But
you're
right
I
mean
for
every
hockey
team.
That's
coming
for
every
basketball
team,
it's
coming
they're,
bringing
at
least
one
parent
and
they're
bringing
you
know.
There's
lots
more
spending
has
taking
place
in
the
community,
so
we've
actually
had
more
success
on
that,
even
in
2019
than
we've
had
in
previous
years
in
attracting
some
of
those
events
to
come.
B
Because
it
is
obviously
there's
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
potential
out
there.
I
know,
just
just
in
our
trip
alone,
when
Darryl
I
went
down
to
meet
with
Gulf
gana,
we
also
met
with
the
Ontario
games
Council,
as
well
as
a
volleyball
Ontario.
So
there's
always
different
was
that
people
wouldn't
even
think
of,
but
they
they
bring,
especially
for
youth
events.
They
bring
families
in
hotels
and
restaurants,
and
the
impact
is
quite
significant.
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
on
the
report
carried.
Thank
you
very
much.
Merci.
Beaucoup
next
item
is
economic
development.
The
Montreal
Road
a
CIP.
As
colleagues
may
know
it.
We
have
a
presentation
from
Chris
cope
and
Cindy
Van
Buskirk.
We
have
delegate
to
delegations
from
the
BIA,
as
colleagues
may
recall
it,
and
my
state
of
the
city
address
I,
guess
about
a
year
ago,
I
announced
that
we
would
be
bringing
forward
a
proposal
to
Council,
which
counsel
has
before
it
now
to
create
a
CIP
on
Montreal
Road.
A
We
know
Montreal
Road
is
an
important
Main
Street
in
our
city,
and
it
needs
a
little
tender,
loving
care
to
help
revitalize
it,
and
we
have
a
very
great
BIA.
That's
working
hand-in-hand
with
the
City
of
Ottawa
to
create
the
CIP
and
I
know
I,
think
where's
councillor
flurry
as
you
can
see
if
38
DC
all
right
councillor
flurry.
A
In
any
event
this.
This
is
a.
This
is
an
initiative
that
I'm
very
supportive
of
because
we've
seen
it
work
in
other
jurisdictions,
and
we
know
that
Montreal
Road
is
going
through
an
entire
revitalization,
with
reconstruction
pipes,
water,
sewer,
better
sidewalks
and
now
is
the
time
to
really
push
towards
helping
this
community
start
anew.
C
Fast
talkers
good
morning,
mayor
Wharton
and
committee
members,
my
name
is
Cindy
Van,
Buskirk
I'm,
a
program
manager
with
economic
development
services
to
my
left
is
my
colleague,
Chris
cope
economic
development
officer
and
file
lead
on
the
community
improvement
plan
or
CIP
program.
We
are
here
today
to
present
the
proposed
Montreal
rogue
Community
Improvement
Plan,
for
your
consideration.
Chris
will
make
a
short
presentation,
a
very
short
presentation,
outlining
the
program
details
and
will
be
pleased
to
respond
to
your
questions
at
the
end,
to
provide
some
context.
C
Ontario's
Planning
Act
permits
municipalities
to
offer
incentives
to
stimulate
private
sector
investment
in
the
redevelopment
of
vacant
or
underutilized
lands.
And/Or
buildings
in
2015
council
directed
economic
development
services
to
explore
expanding
the
use
of
CIPS
in
neighborhoods
and
areas
where
commercial
renewal
has
been
sluggish
or
non-existent.
Since
that
time,
economic
development
services
has
implemented
three
CIPS,
including
carling
avenue
and
orleans,
which
were
both
pilots
and
most
recently
bells
corners.
C
It's
important
to
note
that
the
proposed
Montreal
Road
CIP
is
one
of
six
city
projects
under
the
vision,
Vanier
umbrella,
an
initiative
providing
a
coordinated
communications
and
engagement
approach
in
support
of
the
economic.
Revitalization
and
improved
livability
and
cultural
vibrancy
of
Vanier
I'll
now
turn
it
over
to
Chris.
M
Montreal
Road
that
portion
that
runs
from
North
River
Road
through
the
aviation
Barclays
is
in
essence
the
main
drag
of
banking.
It
is
designated
as
a
Main
Street.
The
portion
as
far
as
sound
off
from
the
river
is
traditional
Main
Street,
and
the
portion
to
aviation
Parkway
is
arterial,
Main
Street,
however,
it
hasn't
always
operated
as
a
Main
Street.
M
M
M
M
So
this
is
the
map.
You'll
see
it's
the
area
shaded
in
buff
and
outlined
in
black
all
the
way
from
North
River
Road
through
the
aviation
part,
which
is
the
area
of
the
actual
CIP
we're
recommending.
We
have
a
special
function,
however,
in
the
area
that
is
shown
in
the
red
dotted
line,
the
car
cave,
a
new
area
which
is
north
River
Road
to
Celeron
and
I'll,
speak
a
little
bit
more
about
that
in
the
future.
M
So
the
main
program
goals
certainly
to
incent
property
owners
along
that
road
to
improve
their
properties
and
upgrade
them.
But
we
also
want
to
use
the
program
to
support
the
vibrant
arts
and
culture
character
of
the
district,
and
we
also
have
created
an
opportunity,
I
think
to
stimulate
the
development
of
public
housing
as
some
of
the
upper
floors
of
those
properties.
M
We
want
to
enhance
the
heritage
aspects
in
some
case,
although
none
of
the
properties
specifically
located
on
that
Street
are
designated
at
Heritage,
but
some
of
them
are
very
businesses
and
we
want
to
strengthen
the
economic
and
the
social
impacts
of
these
properties
and
improve
vitality
and
livability
on
Montreal
Road.
So
we
did
our
own
research.
We
worked
with
the
BIA
to
do
that
and
we
ultimately
looked
shortened
kind
of
the
thing
to
try
and
understand.
If
it's
likely
going
to
work,
we
began
with
151
properties.
M
We
came
down
to
a
list
that
was
in
the
high
70s
as
we
moved
it
along
to
our
consultant,
Cushman
&
Wakefield.
They
took
it
farther
from
there
and
ultimately
developed
a
short
list
of
25
properties
that
they
thought
were
quite
likely
to
be
able
to
benefit
from
a
program
like
this,
and
then
they
went
about
interviewing
those
those
property
owners.
M
So
key
program
elements
the
grants
themself
will
be
based
on
what
we
call
tax
increment,
equivalent
grants
or
Teague's,
and
this
means
that
those
grants
are
actually
funded
out
of
the
property
tax
increase
that
would
occur,
and
an
element
of
this
that
we
have
as
part
of
the
application
process
is
where
the
owner
tells
us
they
would
not
have
done
the
development.
Otherwise,
if
they
didn't
have
this
grant,
the
actual
operating
pressures
on
these
grants
would
become
part
of
the
budget
process.
M
As
we've
received
and
council
has
approved
applications,
there
will
be
we're
recommending
a
five-year
application
window
in
some
senses.
We
think
this
will
create
some
urgency
for
the
property
owners
to
get
on
about
the
application
and
bring
it
in
the
grants
will
be
based
on
75%
of
the
increase
in
the
property
tax
revenue,
so
not
based
on
the
total
property
tax
bill,
but
the
actual
increase
that
happens
as
a
result
of
the
redevelopment.
The
basic
program
applies
to
the
entire
area,
all
the
way
from
the
to
the
aviation
Parkway,
and
we
have
one
other
threshold.
M
We
asked
that
the
application
tell
us
that
they
expect
the
increase
in
assessed
value
of
the
property
increased
by
a
minimum
of
fifty
thousand
dollars,
which
would
equate
to
about
a
four
thousand
dollar
tax
increase.
It
was
relatively
modest
and
finally,
we're
recommending
in
the
grants
be
available
on
a
on
this
basis.
Seventy-Five
percent
of
the
time
you
Nissel
tax
increase,
but
every
year
for
up
to
ten
years
to
a
maximum
of
five
million
dollars
or
the
lesser
of
fifty
percent
of
what
they
spend
on
actually
doing
the
project.
M
Now
we
have
something
special.
This
is
where
I
think
it's
very
unique
with
any
of
the
ones
we've
done.
Certainly,
the
economic
jobs
have
been
involved
with
in
the
area
that
we're
defining
as
the
car
to
Vanier
area.
So
that
would
be
the
river
to
sell
wrong.
We
have
three
unique
aspects
to
this.
The
first
one
would
be
related
to
affordable
housing.
M
But
we
believe
this
is
going
to
help
maintain
and
actually
augment
that
special
character
of
the
portion
of
that.
Has
these
strongly
artistic
in
some
cases
in
you,
you
know
the
largest
any
week
population
out
outside
of
the
north,
and
we
think
it's
going
to
help
that
girl
and
so
finally,
today
what
we're
presenting
is
the
recommendation
that
they
finance
an
Economic
Development
Committee
recommend
to
council
approve
the
adoption
of
the
bylaw
to
designate
the
area.
M
A
J
J
Last
year,
Chris
cope
and
Christine
own
own
city
staff
and
I
walked
the
entire
length
of
Montreal
Road
over
the
course
of
two
days
evaluating
the
possibilities
at
every
step
and
dare
I
say
allowing
ourselves
to
dream
about
how
some
dilapidated
and
dated
buildings,
many
of
which
are
uninhabited
or
occupied
by
payday
loans,
could
give
way
to
a
thriving
commercial
and
community
Main
Street.
The
opportunities
along
the
corridor
were
abundant
and
Chris
believed
that,
with
the
right
incentives
we
could
get
there
around
that
same
time.
J
Our
community
needs
help
in
venues.
Time
is
now
the
CIP
program
is
imperative
to
our
growth
and
our
sustainability.
We
at
the
BIA
are
laser
focused
on
transformative
opportunities
and
partnerships
for
our
members.
Our
businesses
and
property
owners
have
hung
on
through
decades
of
promises
of
being
the
next
in
line.
And,
finally,
it's
our
turn.
Our
we
congratulate
Chris
cope
and
his
team
on
creating
the
program
that
is
before
you
today.
It
exceeds
standards
of
economic
development
programs.
J
We
are
most
encouraged
by
the
added
percentage
of
savings
to
developers
who
will
integrate
social
services,
social
enterprises
and
cultural
spaces
within
their
development.
These
spaces
are
desperately
needed
in
Vanier,
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
weave
Ellucian
in
vain,
and
we
need
outside-of-the-box
development
that
considers
the
unique
nature
and
the
needs
of
our
community
this
program
and
not
only
meets
those
needs,
but
exceeds
our
expectation,
and
we
strongly
encourage
you
to
support
the
motion
to
implement
the
CIP.
Thank
you
thank.
A
D
That
I
said
I'll
keep
it
brief.
I
know
you've
had
a
long
meeting.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
in
support
of
the
proposed
CIP.
The
BIA
has
been
encouraging
the
city
to
bring
this
program
to
Vani
for
years.
Ever
since
the
first
iteration
of
it
happened
eight
years
ago,
we
are
excited
at
the
prospect
of
Main
Street
facing
renewal.
That
will
no
doubt
happen
along
much.
D
Our
Road,
the
staff
at
city's
Economic
Development
Group,
has
been
in
constant
consultation
with
us
to
solicit
feedback
and
to
ensure
the
appropriateness
of
this
program
and
the
desired
outcomes.
As
you
know,
my
child
Road
has
the
highest
concentration
of
pawnshops
and
payday
lenders
in
the
city.
Many
of
the
remaining
buildings
are
empty
and
boarded
up.
We
have
our
share
of
undesirable
property
owners
who
are
holding
off
any
development.
D
The
recent
changes
in
the
property
tax
rebate
rules
will
help
in
this
area,
but
a
broad
financial
encouragement
guided
by
the
city.
Will
he
send
the
development
of
these
eyesores?
The
CIP
will
also
make
purchases
by
commercial
investors
dramatically
more
attractive.
The
spread
between
assessed
value
of
a
dilapidated
building
on
Michelle
Road
and
a
fully
refurbished
one
would
be
higher
in
this
area
than
other
parts
of
the
city,
but
with
this
risk
eliminated
of
high
property
taxes
consuming
profits
before
a
sustainable
business
model
can
be
achieved.
D
A
N
A
comment
mr.
mayor
want
to
want
to
thank
the
staff
and
the
community.
This
initiative
really
came
from
the
BIA
board
a
few
years
ago.
That
said,
you
know:
how
can
we
spark
renewal
of
businesses
along
the
corridor
at
the
time
the
BIA
and
the
board
submitted
to
the
city
and
began
conversations
with
Chris
cope,
and
certainly
we're
here
today.
N
So
a
lot
of
work
leading
into
today
want
to
thank
the
community,
the
business
community
and
also
the
city
and
really
the
work
begins
now
to
regroup
all
of
the
energy
and
to
see
through
that
this
plan
and
to
see
some
of
those
properties
and
for
colleagues,
it's
a
good
test.
It's
for
the
first
time
that
we're
combining
really
an
infrastructure
project
with
the
economic
development.
So
it's
a
corridor
that
needs
it.
It's
the
Gateway
to
the
east,
as
I
say
to
many
of
my
colleagues
to
the
east.
N
We
really
want
we
really
want
to
pull
the
downtown
into
Montreal,
Road
and
and
that
so
that
the
communities
in
the
East
can
benefit
from
that
diversity
of
businesses.
So
thank
you
again
for
the
support
of
colleagues
and
certainly
we'll
keep
you
appraised
of
the
success
of
this
program.
Those
are
Loula.
D
Look,
we
went
through
the
CIP
and
the
quality
of
work
from
your
team
is
a
spectacular.
You
guys
are
doing
a
great
job
and,
as
you
know,
and
as
Matthew
flurry
alerted
to
a
councillor,
flurry
alerted
to
Montrell
road
connects
further
recent
orleans
where
we've
had
a
see
but
scip,
it's
an
incredibly
useful
tool,
but
it's
not
living
up
to
its
potential.
D
So
it's
renewal
and
revision
is
one
of
the
first
major
projects
that
initiated
when
I
came
into
office
and
I've
been
working
with
my
with
my
council
colleagues
and
your
office
to
develop
a
work
plan
on
its
refresh.
How
long
did
the
process
take
for
the
monshell
Road
CIP
from
the
first
time?
Council
fully
spoke
to
you
about
it
to
to
now
its
completion.
M
Mr.
mayor,
the
entire
process
was
about
three
years
in
total,
which
doesn't
mean
we
were
focused
on
it
diligently
throughout
that
whole
time.
The
actual
development
of
the
report
to
bring
it
to
this
group.
Once
we
had
to
perform
the
research
it
was
done
within
less
than
a
year,
probably
about
nine
months.
In
total
from
when
we
engaged
the
consultant
and
did
our
walk
around
and
came
to
his
committee
today,.
M
It's
something
that
we
learned
I
think
from
our
pilots,
because
we
did
not
use
them
in
the
pilots,
and
then
our
pilots
gave
us
kind
of
a
mixed
bag
of
success.
If
you
will,
when
we
got
to
Belle's
corners,
it
was
the
first
time
we'd
use
an
external
partner
to
help
us
assist
in
looking
at
such
things
as
highest
and
best
use
and
best
value,
and
we
learned
from
that
that
we're
better
able
to
assess
it
and
I
think
if
we
had
a
situation
where
we
we
needed
to
assess,
we
could
learn
the
opposite
direction.
M
It
could
recommend
that
we
not
proceed,
but
once
we've
proceeded,
that
process
also
led
very
strongly
in
terms
of
the
marketing
of
it
and
nearly
all
of
the
applications
that
have
come
forward
in
Belle's
corners
where
people
we
talked
to
as
part
of
the
consultation.
So
it's
a
bit
of
pre
marketing
as
well.
That's
awesome.
D
D
M
Mr.
mayor,
the
hard
stop,
it
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
talk
now
to
developers
or
possible
developers
and
even
possible
future
purchasers
are
along
montreal
road
to
say
to
them.
You
know
what
this
is
an
opportunity
that
will
help
you
and
ultimately
help
you
perform
a
successful
project
on
that
road,
but
given
that
they
take
two
to
three
years
for
their
planning
process,
they
need
to
come
in
to
us
probably
early
in
that
stage
and
ultimately
get
it
to
the
point
where
they
can
complete
it
build
it
again.
M
D
M
Mayor
were
not
completing
our
planning
yet,
although
we've
had
preliminary
discussions
for
communications
group,
but
we
have
a
sensation
that
it
will
have
to
include
not
just
the
existing
property
owners
because
we
do
want
to
talk
to
them
and
not
just
the
businesses
and
we'll
certainly
work
with
the
BIA
to
get
them.
But
we
also
think
they're
going
to
be
organisations
that
we
have
to
get
out
and
speak
to,
and
these
would
be
organisations
of
Planning
groups
and
planning
group,
staffs,
real
estate
associations,
real
estate
agents
themselves
and
their
brokers
and
bomyeon
nuts
or
things.
M
D
L
A
Say
to
Mel
C.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
very
much
Mark
for
your
continued
leadership
on
a
voluntary
basis
as
chair
of
the
BIA
and
Natalie
Mel
C,
so
on
the
report
carried
at
up
de
mal
C.
Thank
you.
All.
The
next
item
is
I.
Didn't
apologize,
I
didn't
give
councillor
such
an
opportunity
to
speak
to
her
motion
on
the
canal
and
lakes.
So
I'll
ask
her
to
speak
to
that
briefly
and
then
we'll
be
close
to
adjournment.
Thank.
C
You
Mary
aye
I,
do
promise
to
be
brief.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
and
the
support
this
morning
to
add
this
to
the
agenda.
I
can
assure
everyone
that,
when
I
took
office
in
December,
I
have
no
idea
that
two
weeks
later
we'd
be
faced
with
club,
Lynx
intentions
and
announcement
to
redevelop
the
Golf
Course,
which
is
really
integral
to
that
Kanade
north
community.
It
really
shook
our
community.
C
It's
not
a
planning
issue,
yet
it's
not
a
Golf
Course
issue.
It
is
a
legal
issue
and
it's
a
legal
issue
of
which,
outside
counsel
to
the
city,
blg
has
provided
their
opinion
after
reviewing
the
documents
and
their
sentiment,
their
belief
that
the
agreements
are
enforceable.
I
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity,
of
course,
to
commend
our
city
clerk
and
solicitor
mr.
O'connor
for
sharing
his
intended
course
of
action
with
counsel
in
seeking
a
determination
from
the
Superior
Court
of
Justice
to
determine
the
enforceability
of
these
agreements.
I'd
like
to
thank
mr.
mr.
C
O'connor,
as
well
as
mr.
mark
who
I
believe,
is
here
for
their
work
on
this
issue.
It
hasn't
been
easy.
I'd
span
the
course
of
these
last
number
of
months,
but
I'd
like
to
thank
them
for
those
efforts
as
well
as
staff.
The
mayor
chair
harder.
All
of
you
that
have
been
working
side
by
side
on
this
issue,
so
I'm
I'm
thrilled,
obviously
I'm
very
happy
to
hear
that
we
will
proceed
to
court
to
seek
clarity
on
these
agreements
if
and
when
club
links
comes
forward
with
any
development
or
zoning
application.
