2019,
carried
presentation,
web
presentation
from
invest,
Auto
on
the
talent
program
and
then
a
presentation
on
the
Confederation
line.
The
city's
Treasury
verbal
report
on
financing
has
been
postponed
because
of
the
the
change
that
the
province
brought
forward
a
week
or
so
ago.
Corporate

A
So
there's
also
activity

has
welded
them
in
d,
sweet,
very
office
of
the

The

Committee
inquiries

A
If
you
don't

I'm
a
political
yet
to
terminate
the
dissent
made
him
in
this
Neff

service
politic,
a

technical
2018
year,
an
M
FIFA

received
item

City
of
Ottawa
Ward
boundary
review
I,
think
we
have
one
or
two
questions
so
we'll
we'll
come
back
to
that.
I
think
there
may
be
there's
a
motion
as
well.
A
Our
committee
and
social
services
direction,
generale
de
Silva
socio
in
community
housing
services
services,
a
large
mall
that
we
declare
declaration
of
surplus,
1:59
forward,
avenue,
Bollman
street
at
Hinchey,
avenue
and
204
oro
smith
drive
and
that
the
delegated
authority
of
transfer
these
surplus,
real
properties
for
the
development
of
affordable
housing.
That's
in
Beacon,
Hill,
servile
and
Kitsch
asipi
carried.
A
Next,
we
have
information
previously
received
motion
on
the
BIA
s
and
we'll
come
back
to
the
first
presentation,
so
I
know
I.
Think
counselor
Leibrandt
raised
this
question
at
budget
time
and
the
talent
initiative
that
invest
Ottawa
is
working
on
and
we
thought
it
would
be
appropriate
that
invest
Ottawa
come
forward
and
speak
to
one
of
their
great
priorities
is
obviously
attracting
and
retaining
talent
to
the
nation's
capital,
and
so
we
have
Susan
Richards,
who
is
my
co-chair
at
invest,
Ottawa
and
Sonia
short
vice-president
strategy,
marketing
and
communications
and
Natalie
McArthur,
director
of
talent.
A
So
if
they
could
come
forward
and
it's
great
to
see
our
team
from
investing
Ottawa
they've
done
been
doing
some
great
work.
I
know
I,
think
I
mentioned
this
before,
but
Jan
was
there.
She
is
right
over
there.
The
invest,
Ottawa
folks
put
together
a
really
good
opening
of
the
autonomous
vehicle
test
site,
which
is
the
same
site
as
where
the
movie
theater
is
gonna
break
ground
later
this
year
and
Jan
was
the
driving
force.
A
Obviously,
behind
that,
but
with
the
great
support
of
invest,
Ottawa
and
many
other
partners,
it
was
I
couldn't
believe
the
turnout.
There
must
have
been
what
six
hundred
people
there
and
it
was
quite
a
quite
a
sight,
so
congratulations
and
I
think
invest.
Ottawa
just
won
an
award
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
for
Best
direct.
What
was
it
Sonya
foreign
direct
investment
yeah
great,
so
just
push
push
the
button
there.
B
B
Okay,
can
we
hear
me
now
wonderful
good
morning,
mayor
Watson
and
councillors,
phone
Jodha
to
my
name
as
husband,
said:
Susan
Richards,
I'm,
the
co-founder
and
managing
partner
of
number
crunch
and
the
co-chaired
and
invest
Ottawa's
board
I'm
delighted
to
introduce
you
to
Sonia
sori
who's,
our
invested
awaaz
vice
president
of
strategy,
communications
and
marketing,
as
well
as
Natalie
McArthur
who's,
our
director
of
talent
attraction.
Our
main
intention
today
make
sure
that
I
got
them.
B
Main
intention
of
our
presentation
today
is
to
provide
you
with
an
update
on
our
knowledge-based
economy
strategy
and
talent
plan.
We're
gonna
provide
a
progress
update
as
well
as
areas
of
future
potential.
This
program,
this
work
will
have
on
local
startups
and
accelerated
scale
ups
in
the
Ottawa
region.
We
also
like
to
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
the
City
of
Ottawa,
because
we
wouldn't
have
gotten
this
far
and
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
proceed
without
the
support
engagement
of
a
city.
B
The
worldwide
talent
shortage
is
a
global
phenomenon.
A
recent
study
by
eighty
Kearney
has
found
that
there
could
be
82
million
unfilled
jobs.
An
eight
point,
two
trillion
and
unrealized
revenue
by
2030
here
in
Canada,
KPMG
year's
reported
that
were
on
track
for
a
major
technology
talent
shortage
in
the
next
five
years
as
well.
The
war
on
talent
continues
to
increase.
C
We,
of
course,
wanted
to
put
this
challenge
into
context
here
in
the
Ottawa
region
and
so
working
together
with
partners
such
as
BDC
and
our
post-secondary
institutions.
We've
gathered
additional
data
that
supports
that
raging
war
on
talent,
40%
of
Ottawa
based
entrepreneurs
have
difficulty
hiring
in
the
last
12
months
by
2021
Ontario's
technology,
employment
will
hit
six
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
jobs
with
one
out
of
every
six
potentially
going
unfilled
and,
of
course,
here
in
Ottawa,
attracting
a
skilled
workforce
is
the
second
largest
challenge
facing
Ottawa
businesses
according
to
the
Ottawa
business
growth
survey.
C
We
recognize
that,
together
with
all
of
the
incredible
partners
and
talent,
we
have
across
this
region
that
the
availability
of
homegrown
talent
is
not
sufficient
to
meet
the
hiring
requirements
of
the
companies
in
this
region
to
fully
maximize
the
generous
contribution
that
you're
making,
together
with
other
partners,
we're
adopting
an
integrated
approach
for
impact
that
leverages
the
great
strengths
that
invest
Ottawa
has
to
bring
to
bear
across
all
of
our
divisions.
Our
venture
development
team,
which
is
dedicated
to
entrepreneurs,
SMEs
and
scallops,
helping
them
to
launch,
grow
and
succeed
commercially.
C
Our
global
expansion
team,
which
goes
out
into
the
world
to
attract
investment,
talent
and
companies
that
will
augment
the
strengths
and
create
new
jobs
in
our
region.
Our
marketing
and
communications
team,
which
I
am
so
proud
to
lead
with
our
work
in
Ottawa
campaign
shining,
an
incredible
spotlight
on
the
talent,
the
companies
and
the
opportunities
we
have
in
this
region
to
thrive.
C
C
Of
course,
we
require
incredible
collaboration
and
the
insight
and
input
from
many
of
partners
across
our
region
across
our
province
and
throughout
Canada.
You
can
see
here
just
a
sampling
of
the
partners.
We
have
engaged
to
gather
insight
on
the
key
challenges
that
we
face
as
a
region
when
it
comes
to
the
talent
shortage.
These
also
represent
our
key
collaborators
and
partners
that
will
help
us
to
deliver
the
strategy
in
many
different
ways.
C
Several
partners
joining
us
today,
including
Canada
North
Business,
Association,
very
grateful
for
that
support,
together
with
our
post-secondary
institutions
and
other
organizations
that
are
enabling
us
to
tap
into
talent,
pools
that
bring
to
bear
some
of
the
diversity
and
inclusion
goals
that
we
have
established
for
our
region.
We
have
an
incredible
foundation
to
build
upon.
I
am
certain
every
councillor
here
is
aware
of
our
Ottowa
presentation
that
really
showcases
the
incredible
strengths
we
have
as
a
region
just
a
few
key
statistics
that
promote
our
strengths
when
it
comes
to
the
talent
base.
C
We're
building
on
CBRE
published
a
report
that
I
love
to
discuss
and
describe
that
looks
at
50,
North,
American,
major
centers
and
their
talent,
acquisition
and
momentum.
Ottawa
has
the
highest
concentration
of
tech,
talent
out
of
50
North
American
cities
that
were
surveyed
at
eleven
point,
two
percent
of
all
jobs
that
is
ahead
of
San
Francisco.
At
nine
point,
eight
percent
we
have
the
second
largest
concentration
of
science
and
engineering
employment
out
of
316
North
American
cities
were
surpassed
only
by
Silicon
Valley.
We
have
the
most
educated
workforce
in
this
country.
C
We've
got
a
fantastic
base
to
build
upon
and
as
we
look
at
that
base
and
we
look
at
how
we
augment
that
and
help
to
address
the
technology
gaps
in
our
region.
We
look
at
our
expertise
and
our
strengths
and
the
jobs
of
the
future.
The
knowledge-based,
high-value
jobs
of
the
future
that
span
autonomous
vehicles,
artificial
intelligence,
cybersecurity
data
analytics
the
Internet
of
Things,
precision,
agriculture
and
next
generation
networks.
C
His
worship,
Mayor
Watson,
highlighted
the
autonomous
and
connected
vehicle
test
track
that
we
have
launched
together
with
critical
support
from
the
city
of
Ottawa,
a
multitude
of
industry,
multinational
partners
and
many
other
contributors
and
collaborators
across
this
region.
When
you
look
at
the
seven
technology
areas
on
that
screen,
every
single
one
of
them
comes
into
play
at
the
test
track
that
you've
helped
us
to
develop.
We
need
to
build
a
base
of
the
technology,
talent
that
will
attract
more
connected
and
autonomous
vehicle
companies
to
our
region,
attract
more
talent.
C
Of
course,
other
attributes
that
enable
us
to
attract
and
retain
the
top
talent
that
we
have
our
incredible
cost
of
living
mercer
a
well-known
reputable
source
of
2018.
The
cost
of
living
in
canada
is
the
lowest
of
all.
Our
quality
of
life
is
second
to
none.
We
have
the
best
overall
city
in
canada
based
on
three
key
t's
technology,
talent
and
tolerance.
Again,
a
very
critical
attribute
to
support
our
diversity
and
inclusion
strategy
at
invest,
awha
and
as
a
region.
D
As
we
know,
for
decades,
the
knowledge-based
economy
in
the
Ottawa
region
has
become
a
center
of
excellence
and
with
the
thousand
firms
operating
at
different
levels
of
growth
and
maturity,
it's
not
only
our
privilege,
but
our
obligation
to
work
in
collaboration
and
to
support
these
firms
with
achieving
their
goals.
We
recognize
through
what
Sonya
and
Susan
mentioned
the
war
on
talent
and
the
talent
shortage
in
the
Ottawa
region
is
preventing.
These
firms
were
being
able
to
scale
and
succeed.
D
We
will
be
introducing
a
modest
fee
for
the
service,
but
providing
these
scale-up
firms
with
the
opportunity
to
ask
excess
HR
experts
and
our
talent
program
services.
Our
strategy
will
be
to
continue
to
partner
with
service
providers
in
the
city
on
the
pre-arrival
settled
an
unemployed,
highly-skilled
talent,
etics
is
here,
but
to
also
source
the
very
best
talent
from
across
the
country
and
internationally,
whether
it
be
those
expatriate
Canadians
thinking
about
the
opportunity
to
return
home
or
the
highly
skilled
international
talent
that
our
ecosystem
would
benefit
from
having.
D
Here,
we
want
to
be
able
to
provide
the
knowledge
base
industries
with
the
talent
capacity
in
ways
that
they
had
not
yet
had
up.
Until
this
point,
we
will,
of
course
be
leveraging
all
of
the
great
work
that
has
existed
on
the
talent
file
and
that
will
continue
to
be
created
and
very
grateful
for
the
Board
of
Trade,
Canada,
North
and
I
CTC
for
their
continued
supporting
collaboration
and
further
support
with
being
here
in
the
room
with
us
today.
D
This
led
us
to
a
pivotal
point
in
time
where
we
were
very
comfortable
and
confident
in
the
strength
of
the
offer
that
we've
created
in
the
talent
program.
The
next
step
was
to
socialize
the
for
more
details
with
councillor
suds,
and
we
thank
you
very
much
for
your
feedback
in
your
support
and
the
approval
that
we
acquired
from
marijuana,
and
we
thank
you
for
that.
Mayor
Wharton.
D
The
beauty
of
this
program
is
that
it's
also
been
designed
to
be
exceptionally
agile
and
iterative,
and
so
the
feedback
that
we
will
acquire
from
clients,
candidates,
key
stakeholders
from
qualitative
and
quantitative
approaches
will
allow
us
to
pivot
in
ways
that
will
increase
the
impact
that
we'll
be
delivering
for
the
community.
Early
winds,
as
seen
on
this
slide,
have
been
many.
D
We've
had
the
pleasure
of
collaborating
with
over
a
hundred
key
stakeholders
to
determine
areas
of
opportunity
and
collaboration
conducted
a
number
of
workshops
to
answer
any
outstanding
questions
that
they
may
have
and
have
since
been
presented
with
a
number
of
public
speaking
engagements,
which
will
allow
us
to
continue
to
promote
the
talent
program.
We
socialize
the
program
with
over
20
clients
to
again
gauge
their
levels
of
feedback
and
validation
and
very
excited
to
have
partnered
with
five
clients
in
the
soft
launch
phases
and
a
number
more
are
excited
and
anticipating
the
July
first
public
launch.
D
D
Since
we
launched
our
sourcing
strategies
in
the
last
six
weeks,
we
have
seen
a
tremendous
amount
of
interest
locally
across
the
country
and
internationally,
and
this
is
very
much
validating
the
hypothesis
that
we
had
about
Ottawa
as
the
best
place
to
live,
work,
study
and
play
in
the
client
validation
process.
It
was
very
important
for
us
to
gauge
where
we
were
going
to
focus
our
time
to
be
as
specifically
mindful
as
possible,
and
what
we
realized
was.
D
The
same
roles
are
continuing
to
for
a
number
of
organizations
across
marketing,
product
engineering
and
sales
at
the
intermediate
to
10
year
experience
mark.
We
want
it
to
be
as
mindful
as
a
talent
team
to
be
able
to
support
them
with
those
reoccurring
needs
and
building
talent,
pools
that
will
solidify
the
pipelines
for
them
now
and
in
the
future,
and
that's
where
we're
going
to
drive
that
impact,
and
so
we
wanted
to
thank
you
again,
marijuana
counselors
for
the
opportunity
to
design
and
execute
this
program.
D
We
are
guided
by
our
vision
to
help
realize
Ottawa's
full
potential
as
a
globally
recognized
innovative
in
future,
ready,
City
and
the
best
place
to
learn,
work
live
and
play
now
and
for
future
generations.
We
are
convinced
that
this
talent
program
is
the
next
milestone
with
helping
us
achieve
that
vision
and
we're
very
excited.
Thank
you
right.
A
E
The
work
that
you're
doing
it's
absolutely
phenomenal
I
just
had
to
I,
had
two
quick
questions.
One
I
was
just
wondering
you
know:
we've
we
rank
so
highly
in
terms
of
quality
of
life
and
and
just
the
experience
of
living
in
the
city.
But
what
do
you
think
are
the
main
issues
that
are
causing
our
businesses,
our
companies,
to
feel
that
they
can't
attract
and
retain
like
what
is
it.
C
C
Very
thing
in
terms
of
retaining
and
attracting
I'd
love
to
open
up
with
this,
so
I
think
globally.
It's
an
incredibly
challenging
time
to
attract
the
type
of
talent,
that's
needed.
Many
companies
are
sourcing,
the
exact
same
type
of
talent
and
they're,
seeking
senior
talent
that
have
the
ability
and
proven
track
record
to
do
exactly
what
is
required.
C
So
if
companies
don't
have
the
right
reach,
if
they
don't
have
the
right
visibility
into
those
candidates-
and
many
of
them
are
not
job
seekers
they're,
though
that
are
being
solicited
on
a
continual
basis,
when
I've
been
in
Silicon
Valley
doing
foreign
direct
investment
missions,
I
have
CEOs
who
walk
over
and
say.
This
is
my
senior
technology
architect.
C
Secondly,
I
would
say
in
terms
of
how
Ottawa
fares
compared
to
others
in
Canada
I've
personally
worked
very
closely
with
our
colleagues
at
Mars
in
Toronto
and
Communitech
in
Waterloo.
We're
grateful
to
have
been
the
recipient
of
the
new
scale-up
program.
We
announced
16.9
million
to
support
our
scale
ups
here
in
Ottawa
as
part
of
a
fifty
two
million
dollar
program.
I
can
assure
you
that
Toronto
and
Waterloo
have
the
exact
same
challenge.
C
We
are
all
facing
that
that
issue
and,
in
fact,
Fidesz
executive
team
has
seen
just
the
tip
of
the
iceberg
in
terms
of
this
strategy
and
they're
prepared
to
actually
hold
us
up
as
a
model
here
in
Ottawa,
within
our
scale-up
program,
as
having
taken
very
strategic
steps
to
try
and
attract,
retain
and
develop
building
on
the
base
that
we
have
across
the
country,
not
just
here
in
Ontario.
So
it's
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
This
is
a
journey
all
regions
that
we
have
the
privilege
of
working
with
are
struggling
with
this
exact
issue.
C
F
F
We
we
heard
about
the
shortage
of
IT
expertise.
We're
having
you
know,
issues
trying
to
attract
a
CIO
for
our
own
city
and
part
of
it
is
just
the
whole
talent
pool
is
just
not
there
in
terms
of
you
know
getting
people
and
then
what
we
do
they
get
snapped
up
because
they're
in
high
demand.
But
my
question
to
you
is:
is
what
efforts
are
being
made
to
attract
more
women
into
IT
and
stem?
We
may
be
having
a
great
big
talent
pool
right
under
our
nose
that
we're
not
tapping
into
do.
F
We
know
if,
if
there's
stumbling
blocks
for
women
and,
for
example,
you
know
childcare
that
to
prevent
them
from
getting
into
our
retracting.
Are
we
reaching
out
to
the
high
schools
and
we're
reaching
out
to
to
the
universities
and
colleges
to
encourage
them,
because
I
truly
believe
that
there
is
a
huge
talent
pool
right
under
our
nose
that
were
not
taking
advantage
of
them,
and
what
can
we
do
to
to
help
that
I?
Would.
C
Love
to
open
up
with
this
and
then
invite
our
co-chair
Susan
Richards
to
jump
in
I'm
so
excited
because
we
at
invest
Ottawa
and
recognizing
the
challenges
that
we
face
with
respect
to
not
just
women
and
tech
and
stem,
but
female
founders
and
women-owned
business
have
established
a
subcommittee
of
our
board
with
representatives
and
leaders
from
across
industry,
academia,
government
and
the
investment
community
to
help
us
address
these
exact
challenges.
Over
the
last
year,
we've
developed
a
strategy
with
an
action
plan
with
four
axes.
That
also
includes
encouraging
more
women
to
enter
technology-based
fields.
C
Many
of
us
volunteer
our
time
with
organizations
such
as
Technovation,
myself
included
that
stimulates
young
women
to
develop
an
app
to
pitch
and
to
pursue
that
career
path
and
entrepreneurship
in
a
technology
field.
It's
a
very
exciting
time
for
us.
We
are
working
closely
with
all
four
post-secondary
institutions
to
create
opportunities
for
women,
both
at
invest,
Ottawa
and
Bayview
yards
and
encouraging,
and
bringing
that
focus
not
only
to
our
global
sourcing
efforts,
which
is
another
key
differentiator
for
our
talent
strategy,
but
working
with
our
startups
our
scale
ups
and
other
companies.
C
We
serve
from
a
global
expansion
perspective
to
keep
that
very
important
lens
in
mind.
A
diverse
team,
a
highly
integrated
team
is
a
higher
performance
and
a
more
profitable
team
and
business,
and
that's
something
that
we
strongly
encourage
and
we
would
love
to
come
back
and
deliver
our
strategy
to
you.
On
that
exact
front
and
some
of
the
early
wins
we've
seen
to
date.
Susan
and
I
would
invite
you
to
join.
B
C
Point
I
might
raise
as
we
believe
that,
if
you
can
wear
you
can
be
here,
we're
shining,
a
big
spotlight
promotionally
on
female
founders,
women
in
tech
leaders
such
as
Susan
Richards,
such
as
carrot,
Orko
who's,
the
vice
president,
here
with
us
today
from
asan
compliance
and
many
others
that
we
work
with
in
our
ecosystem.
Thank.
F
You
do
we
have
any
stats
on
percentage
of
women
and
are
you
sort
of
looking
at
that
to
make
sure
that
it
grows?
We
I'd
also
like
to
know
about
retention,
because
it's
one
thing
to
get
women
attracted
to
a
profession
but
to
hold
on
to
them,
and
and
do
we
do
exit
interviews
to
find
out
if
there's
any
issues
I'd
like
to
know
if
what's
holding
it
back,
one.
F
Thank
you
so
you're
working
on
some
on
data
to
show
what
the
statistics
are
right
now,
so
we
can
see
that
perhaps
maybe
at
the
next
meeting
that
you're
next
time
you
come
by
that'd,
be
great,
be
good
to
know
where
you're
starting
from
to
know
where
you're
going
exactly
okay,
I
appreciate
that
and
let
us
know
how
we
can
work
together.
Thank
you.
Hey.
G
Thank
you,
your
worship,
one
quick
question.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
Can
you
just
describe
your
work
with
the
federal
government,
which
is
the
number
one
employer
in
this
city?
Are
you
exclusively
working
with
private
sector
companies
and,
if
not,
can
you
just
describe
your
work
with
the
federal
government.
C
Our
talent
strategy
does
focus
on
companies,
however,
as
Michael
Trombley,
our
president
and
CEO
has
elaborated
on
in
the
strategic
plan
and
in
presentation
last
year
that
was
delivered
to
this
committee.
Gov
tech
is
an
area
of
focus
for
us
and
it
is
one
of
the
key
three
strategic
areas.
We
are
diving
into
smart
cities,
including
connected
and
autonomous
vehicles,
smart
health
and
smart
government.
C
Certainly
we
are
working
in
very
collaborative
ways
here
at
Bayview
and
in
the
Ottawa
area,
with
the
federal
government,
the
mash-up
and
the
opportunity
between
the
two
top
city,
employers,
which
is
government
and
tech,
is
incredibly
powerful.
There
is
a
strong
desire
and
drive
within
the
federal
government
currently
to
work
more
closely
with
entrepreneurs
and
SMEs
to
help
address
some
of
their
digital
pain
points
and
challenges.
C
E
What
is
invest
Ottawa
doing
to
ensure
that
economic
development
doesn't
simply
happen
in
the
downtown
core?
I
know
that
you
know,
we've
got
an
incredibly
bilingual
and
well-educated
workforce
in
Orleans
and
we're
not
seeing
the
kind
of
economic
development
that
we're
seeing
in
other
areas
of
the
city.
What
can
invest
Ottawa
do
to
help
to
ensure
that
you
know
a
hundred
thousand
people
don't
end
up
having
to
cross
the
Greenbelt
every
single
day
you
know,
adding
to
GHG
is
chipping
away
our
infrastructure
and
keeping
people
away
from
their
families.
So.
C
C
We
have
created
a
nexus
of
critical
mass
at
Bayview
Yards,
where
we
believe
the
collisions
and
the
collaboration
is
incredibly
powerful
and
we
receive
consistent
feedback
from
stakeholders,
companies
and
innovators
right
across
the
city,
as
well
as
our
four
post
secondary,
which
are
equally
distributed,
and
now
with
many
establishing
campuses
in
other
parts
of
the
city
that
there
is
still
a
burning
desire
to
make
sure
that
they
can
capitalize
on
infrastructure,
talent
and
that
critical
mass
of
collaborative
activity
that's
happening
at
Bayview.
We
are
increasingly
establishing
additional
locations
resources
being
a
key
challenge.
C
So
that's
a
major
focus
for
us.
How
do
we
maximize
the
return
on
our
investment
to
you
to
the
city,
to
our
stakeholders?
We
have
established
an
office
in
Canada
in
the
heart
of
where
the
major
technology
cluster
is
we
now
the
Greenbelt
site,
thanks
to
councillor
harder
for
all
of
her
leadership
on
that
front.
That
also
establishes
another
nexus
of
expertise
and
connected
and
autonomous
vehicles
and
Bayview.
We
are
always
going
out.
E
A
Example
of
a
very
successful
project
was
when
we
announced
the
Amazon
600
jobs
in
the
East,
and
that's
I
think
the
single
largest
job
site
that
we've
seen
really
in
the
last
several
years.
You
know
Shopify
being
the
other
other
big
employers,
so
that
was
a
good
example.
I
think
where
we
all
work
together
and
the
land
was
there
in
councilor
play
was
was
very
instrumental
and
supportive
of
getting
them
here,
and
we
put
in
that
bid,
as
you
know,
for
the
global
headquarters.
A
We're
not
successful,
but
I
think
we
impressed
them
with
our
our
skill
set
and
our
knowledge.
So
thank
you
for
that
question.
Just
one
question
launching
on
July
1st
seems
like
a
very
patriotic
but
strange
day,
because
everyone's
busy
with
Canada
Day
activities,
would
it
not
get
sort
of
overshadowed
who's,
checking
their
emails
on
Canada.
D
That
was
a
self-imposed
deadline
that
I
introduced
to
the
team
and
I
think
them
for
their
willingness
to
to
think
about
that
deadline.
But
that's
more
to
have
our
recruitment
and
marketing
technology
tools
in
place
and
for
us
to
have
started
to
build
the
talent
communities
that
will
then
have
the
opportunity
to
work
with
clients
across
the
scale
of
community
from
July
2nd.
Moreover,.
C
We
have
a
soft
launch
that
will
be
taking
place
at
accelerate
OTT,
which
is
our
flagship
entrepreneurship
conference
on
the
11th
of
the
NAC.
We
will
be
extending
complimentary
passes
to
every
city
councillor.
We
invite
you
to
join
us
and
come
and
learn
on
the
ground
exactly
what
we
do,
how
we
do
it
to
support
the
growth
of
the
entrepreneurs
and
firms
in
our
region.
A
H
Good
morning,
mr.
mayor
members
of
committee
I'm
going
to
provide
you
with
our
update
on
the
LRT
project,
tell
you
where
we
are
on
various
elements
and
the
plan
to
move
forward.
So
you'll
recall
that
RTG
submitted
a
substantial
completion
notice,
which
the
city
reviewed
and
the
independent
certifier
reviewed
as
per
the
project
agreement.
H
We
have
some
of
the
best
people,
industry
that
have
run
rail
systems,
built
rail
cars,
cVTC
systems
and
all
the
other
elements
that
sit
with
us
on
every
step
of
the
process.
The
workshop
that
we
had
with
RTG
was
to
walk
them
through
in
detail
the
opinion
letter
on
the
substantial
completion
from
both
the
city
and
the
independent
certifier.
We
looked
at
the
progress
that
our
TG
had
done
during
the
review
period,
the
five-day
review
period
and
to
our
T
G's
credit.
H
They
continued
to
work
and
move
things
forward,
and
the
session
was
very
productive
and
there
was
consensus
and
agreement
on
the
outstanding
work
that
needed
to
be
completed
for
for
RTG
to
achieve
substantial
completion.
The
point
of
this
slide
is
to
indicate
to
all
of
you
that
there
is
100%
clarity
on
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
by
RTG
to
achieve
substantial
completion.
So
there's
no
gray
zones
there's
a
comprehensive
list.
They
know
what
they
need
to
do
and
we
of
both
parties
have
agreed
to
that.
H
So
further
to
that
workshop,
RTG
provided
their
response
to
us,
because
they're
required
to
give
us
a
remedy
plan.
We
have
looked
at
that
response
and
it
provides
their
feedback
and
we're
working
very
closely
with
them
to
ensure
that
they
follow
their
plan
and
that
they
meet
the
schedules
of
the
work.
That's
remaining
now.
I
just
need
to
remind
everyone
that
substantial
completion
is
a
very
important
step
in
the
entire
process
of
this
project.
H
It
signifies
that
the
project
has
reached
that
point
where
everything
is
essentially
complete
and
that's
both
the
construction
and
the
testing
and
applies
to
all
elements
of
the
system,
the
fixed
components,
the
rail
cars
and
so
forth,
and
the
third
bullet
is
very
important.
It's
it's
embedded
in
the
project
agreement.
It
says
there
can
be
no
restrictions
to
that
material,
impair
the
city's
use
of
the
system.
H
In
other
words,
it
cannot
be
a
conditional
achievement
and
I
can
tell
you
that
we
continue
to
be
unrelenting
with
our
TG
that
we're
not
moving
off
of
what
they're
required
to
give
us
for
the
2.1
billion
dollars
and
I
see
some
councillors
nodding.
I
know
that
you're
in
the
same
space.
Many
of
you
have
told
me
that
that
this
the
public
is
paying
2.1
billion
dollars
for
the
system.
H
We
expect
every
single
element
and
we're
not
on
for
anything
other
than
that,
so
we
continue
to
hold
that
position
and
and
I
know
that
we've
got
full
support
in
that
regard
from
both
yourself
and
the
public.
So
the
we've
agreed
on
the
plan
with
our
T
G
they've,
presented
it
to
us
and
they
need
to
complete
all
of
the
elements:
the
stations,
the
operating
system,
the
safety
programs,
the
maintenance,
readiness
and
vehicle
readiness
is
the
critical
path
to
completion.
H
You
can
have
the
best-looking
station
Landscaping
completed,
but
you
need
the
rail
cars
to
be
operating
at
the
level
of
performance.
That's
prescribed
so
you'll
recall
this
slide.
You've
seen
it
many
many
times
we
have
been
tracking.
All
of
these
nine
critical
elements
and
I
can
tell
you
that
items
two
to
nine
are
in
very
good
shape,
a
range
of
some
paperwork
that
needs
to
be
done
to
some
final
elements,
and
that
is
tracking.
Well,
all
stemming
from
that
workshop.
H
That
I
referenced
early
on
fleet
availability
is
the
area
that,
where
we
continue
to
be
concerned
about
and
there's
two
lanes
with,
the
fleet
availability,
just
two
buckets
at
work.
The
fleet
needs
to
be
virtually
defect.
Free
you'll,
never
get
a
hundred
percent
defect,
FLE
a
free
fleet,
and
we
have
agreed
with
our
T
G.
What
are
the
minor
things
that
will
permit
them
to
go
into
service
minor
defects
associated
with
the
fleet,
but
we
need
a
very
robust
fleet
that
has
no
major
defects,
the
second
bucket
or
second
lane.
H
There
is
demonstrated
reliability,
so
defect,
free
and
highly
highly
reliable
and
unfortunately,
the
vehicles
are
not
ready
for
primetime
there
they're,
just
not
at
the
state
that
they
need
to
be
there
for
this
system
and
we
are
working
with
with
RTG
on
several
elements
in
terms
of
how
they
get
them
to
that
state
of
readiness.
If,
if
RTG
completes
all
those
nine
critical
elements,
including
the
fleet,
they
can
then
apply
for
substantial
completion,
we've
been
very
clear
with
them.
H
So,
in
terms
of
the
suspension
completion
process,
you'll
recall
at
the
last
meeting
there
was
two
scenarios
scenario
one:
they
achieved
substantial
completion
that
did
not
occur,
so
they
moved
to
the
second
lane,
which
is
scenario
two
and
they're
on
the
far
right
end
of
that
process,
where
they
restart
the
review.
If
they
complete
things
and
take
our
advice
and
follow
it
religiously,
they
will.
H
We
probably
won't
need
the
full
five
days
to
review,
so
we've
advised
them
of
that
to
stay
focused
and
make
sure
that
all
of
their
contractors,
including
Alstom,
because
they
own
that
fleet
contract
stay
focused
on
getting
things
completed.
So
in
terms
of
the
steps
moving
forward,
RTG
needs
to
complete
all
of
the
items
associated.
We
the
nine
critical
elements,
including
the
vehicles.
If
they
get
those
things
done,
they
can
resubmit
their
notice
of
substantial
completion
and
then
on
the
assumption
that
the
independent
certifier
determines
that
they
have
achieved
it.
H
H
The
vehicle
piece,
which
is
very,
very
important
it
also
going
through
the
12
consecutive
days
of
trial
running,
demonstrates
vehicle
availability
and
reliability
on
if
they
move
through
successful
trial
running
and
the
independent
safety
certified
and
offer
RSA
is
then
achieved.
So
it's
turned
over
to
the
city
and
we
need
four
weeks
to
launch,
and
many
of
you
have
asked
why
so
much
time.
We
need
that
to
get
all
the
unfettered
access
for
our
staff
to
go
in
there
and
do
drill
other
remaining
drills
and
so
forth.
It's
still
a
construction
zone.
H
H
So,
with
respect
to
RSA
and
the
launch
of
the
service,
we
again
have
been
unrelenting
and
saying
that
do
not
give
us
a
date
just
for
the
sake
of
giving
us
a
date.
I
do
not
want
to
drag
council
through
that
again.
I
don't
want
to
drag
our
customers
through
it
again,
where
we
get
a
date
that
is
not
highly
reliable
and
achievable,
or
where
my
team,
my
staff
and
those
experts
that
I
talked
about
have
a
high
degree
of
confidence
that
they
can
achieve
the
date.
So
right
now,
we've
been
clear
with
them.
H
They
need
to
focus
on
the
vehicle
completion
and
get
the
defects
cleared
up
and
get
the
reliability
of
the
fleet
to
a
very
high
degree
they
need
to
bring.
They
have
brought
a
very
good
plan
on
the
vehicle
completion
plan,
how
they
would
move
forward,
and
we
need
to
let
that
play
out
to
see
where
they
get
to
on
vehicles.
So
with
respect
to
RSA.
Mr.
H
mayor
members
of
committee,
although
RTG
was
required
to
give
us
a
date
by
the
end
of
May,
they've
asked
for
two
additional
weeks
to
monitor
the
vehicle
plan
and
to
see
if
they
and
Alstom
their
supplier
I
can
get
the
vehicle
fleet
to
this
high
standard
that
it
needs
to
be
in
order
for
us
to
be
confident
with
that.
Unfortunately,
mr.
mayor,
that
leads
us
into
RTG
is
also
advises
that,
given
those
factors,
they
will
not
achieve
June
30th
date
and
we
do
not
have
a
modified
date
at
this
point.
H
We're
going
to
give
them
there
two
weeks
to
monitor
I
can
tell
you
that
we're
not
just
sitting
by
and
waiting
for
them.
In
addition
to
all
of
the
monitoring
that
we've
done,
we
have
brought
in
more
vehicle
experts.
We
are
not
stepping
into
the
contract
with
Alstom.
We
have
the
authority
to
do
enhanced
monitoring.
H
Today
we
have
one
expert
in
two
experts
in
today
and
another
one
coming
in
later
this
week,
they're
just
waiting
for
some
paperwork
at
the
border
crossing
when
our
when
RTG
has
a
date
that
they
can
demonstrate
to
us
is
achievable.
We
can
then
move
into
the
final
preparations
to
launch,
and
obviously
we
will
communicate
that
to
you
and
a
reminder
on
point
number:
five.
H
You
know
we
we
are
being
so
rigid
in
ensuring
that
things
are
at
a
very
high
standard,
we're
not
building
a
Greenfield
system.
75%
of
your
customers
will
be
impacted
on
day.
One
it's
about
two
hundred
and
forty
thousand
customers
will
will
be
impacted
and
we
also
have
the
complex
bus
route
changes
that
need
to
be
rolled
out
as
part
of
this.
So
we
need
a
system
that
is
functioning
as
close
to
perfect
as
possible.
H
H
We
have
some
very
strong
language
in
the
project
agreement
that
talks
about
the
long
stop
date
and
the
long
stop
is
it
marks
the
12
months
after
the
contract
revenue
service
availability
date,
the
original
one,
it's
a
milestone
that
enables
us
to
initiate
all
those
remedies
and
penalties
and
so
forth.
We
have
retained
all
those
rights
and,
as
I've
mentioned
before,
we
have
not
paid
our
TG
and
we're
continuing
to
track
all
incremental
costs
and
there
they
will
be
deducted
from
our
TGS
outstanding
payments.
H
Now
mr.
mayor
I
also
have
to
talk
about
the
fare
freeze.
You
recall
we
were
targeting
July
1st
with
this.
These
latest
developments
we're
going
to
have
to
think
about.
If
you
want
to
extend
the
fare,
freeze,
we've
put
together
some
costing
for
you
of
August
and
September
on
that
slide.
I
apologize,
but
timing
is
of
the
essence.
Monthly
passes
go
on
sale
on
June
16th
and
we
would
need
something
done
by
the
council
meeting
of
June
12th.
H
We,
we
have
a
transit
commission
meeting,
but
it's
after
that,
so
we
need
to
move
quickly
on
this
and
I
use
this
slide
to
remind
RT
g
that
while
they
may
feel
that
things
are
complicated
at
our
and
our
customers
are
again
feeling
it
you're
feeling
it
and
I
have
to
sit
before
you
today
and
give
you
this
this
news
and
jump
through
hoops
to
get
all
these
logistics
sorted
out.
So
it's
not
a
pleasant
day
for
us
to
can
be
communicating
this
to
you,
but
I
know.
H
Rt
g
is
listening
right
now
in
our
world
is
implicated
and
again
our
customers
are
going
to
feel
the
brunt
of
this.
So
the
additional
fare
freeze
will
be
deducted
from
our
T
G's
payment
is
the
instructions
that
we're
following
so
we're,
adding
that
to
the
bill
with
respect
to
our
work,
we're
continuing
to
do
our
operational
training,
our
drills
or
exercises,
and
the
ready
for
rail
campaign
continues
and
we're
also
a
fully
detailed,
mapped
out.
All
various
scenarios
will
adjust
accordingly
now
in
terms
of
potential
launch
dates
to
to
map
things
out,
Thank
You.
I
You
mr.
mayor,
based
on
the
information
that
mr.
Marconi
and
his
team
have
just
presented,
it's
clear
to
me
that
we
need
to
move
forward
on
delaying
the
fare
increase
that
is
set
for
July
1st
of
this
year.
I
understand
that
the
monthly
tassels
for
July
will
go
on
sale,
starting
on
June
16th,
and
that
that's
why
mr.
Mahoney
alluded
to
that
date
and
that
staff
have
taken
some
technical
steps
to
change
the
system
so
that
the
increases
do
not
occur.
I
That
means
we
have
to
make
a
decision
by
next
week's
council
meeting
on
June
12th
and
the
transit
Commission
does
not
meet
until
the
19th.
Therefore,
I'm
going
to
ask
Council
to
suspend
the
rules
of
procedure
next
week
to
walk
this
on
to
the
June
12th
council
meeting,
so
that
I
can
move
a
motion
to
allow
that
the
fare
stay
the
same
level
until
the
Train
is
running
right.
I
Would
you
agree
to
second
that
motion?
Mr.
Matthews,
you
thank
you
now.
If
I
may
I'd
like
to
point
out
that,
although
I
say
thank
you
to
mr.
Mahoney
and
mr.
Cadillac
is
because
of
their
efforts
to
protect
taxpayers
and
our
city
in
this
difficult
contract,
I
know
staff
are
doing
their
best
to
hold
our
TG
and
their
partners
like
ahlstrom,
accountable
to
their
commitments
and
I
know
that
the
mayor
and
mr.
mayor
and
council
are
placing
a
lot
of
pressure
on
you,
mr.
I
Mahoney,
to
deliver
the
message
to
our
TG
that
we
are
out
of
patience.
It
is
time
for
our
TG
and
Austin
and
S&C
and
all
the
partners
of
RTG
to
get
their
act
together
and
deliver
so
Minh.
For
you,
sir,
is.
Can
you
please
confirm
that
OC
Transpo
will
be
able
to
keep
delivering
the
service
that
they
have
been
while
we
await
this
transition
and
that
we're
ready
whenever
RTG
is
ready
to
do
the
transition
to
train.
H
H
H
It
is
where
we
are
where
we
are
and
as
that
memo
said,
thanks
to
RTG
the
effect
of
the
construction
projects
and
the
compounding
stress
on
the
buses
that
are
stuck
in
the
core
and
predict
particularly,
is
because
of
the
delay
of
the
train
and
I
know
that
you
know
mr.
Lau
took
offense
to
that
a
couple
of
months
ago
and
I
said
no,
it's
on
you.
Those
trains
were
supposed
to
be
up
on
running
and
we
would
be.
H
We
wouldn't
be
deadheading
buses
through
the
core
and
being
stuck
in
all
this
construction
and
to
our
construction
partners
over
in
infrastructure
services,
they're
doing
a
great
job
trying
to
stagger
some
of
these
things
with
our
traffic
operations.
People
but
I,
can
assure
you,
OC
Transpo
staff
are
trying
their
best
to
get
through
and
we're
at
the
peak
of
construction
season.
I
believe
there's
88
closures
right
now
that
we're
dealing
and
deterring
buses
through-
and
we
are
doing
a
look
ahead
on
that.
I
Finally,
mr.
mayor
I'd
like
to
get
mr.
McCarney
to
elaborate
on
something
a
situation
him
and
I
have
discussed
is
one
of
the
the
issues
with
the
trains
right
now
is
doors
sticking
and
I
believe
it
was
Washington,
DC
launched
a
bunch
of
new
trains
and
the
doors
are
opened
in
service
like
while
they
were
moving,
so
you
might
want
to
elaborate
on
how
many
cars
had
to
be
pulled
off
the
track
after
that
and
the
disruption
to
the
service.
Yes,.
H
H
What
we're
dealing
with
is
what's
called
the
sensitive
edges,
that's
a
tolerance
about
how
tight
they
need
to
close,
so
that
people
don't
get
stuck
in
the
doors
or
scarves
and
myths
and
boots,
and
things
like
that
so
again,
we're
being
very
diligent
in
that
and
I
can
tell
you
that
both
awesome
and
RTG
on
the
safety
features
again
back
to
those
defects.
They
know
they're
non-negotiable,
they're,
not
disputing
us
on
those,
but
they
need
to
focus
and
get
the
work
done.
Thank.
J
Thank
you
for
sending
it
out
of
being
so
honest
in
a
John,
because
I
think
that
it
laid
out
where
we
are
and
the
same
day
my
staff,
whose
watches
trans
trans
Transit
for
us
for
my
part
of
the
city
had
just
said
to
me.
I,
don't
know
what's
going
on,
but
there's
something
like
it's
just
out
of
control
and
I'm,
not
getting
responses,
and
things
like
that.
J
So
I
really
appreciated
getting
that,
but
now
I'm
very,
very
concerned,
because
there,
what
you're
saying
is
if
they
don't
get
a
handle
on
fixing
this
to
our
satisfaction
into
safety
satisfaction
and
to
to
pass
the
test.
What's
the
back-up
plan
because
it
seems
to
me
earn
or
we've
got
staff
that
would
not
we're
not
supposed
to
be
working
here.
So
whatever
that
morale
might
look
like
staff
that
we
need
to
add
to
what
kind
of
you
know
what
what
are
their
I'm,
not
saying
you'd
ever
hire?
J
Anybody
that
wasn't
like
you
know
didn't
have
the
proper
accreditation,
but
they
may
not
be
the
right
fit.
What
about
the
equipment
itself,
because
I
know
that
you
said
that
you're
trying
to
shift
it
around
so
that
you're
sharing
the
pain,
but
the
pain
is
pitiful,
like
if
you're
sharing
it
now
I
mean
I'd
like
to
see
what,
if
you
weren't
sharing
it
looked
like
you
have
any
comment
on
any
of
that.
H
But
we
have
very
good
staff
and
great
morale
and
great
labor
relations
at
doe,
C
Transpo
I
can
tell
you
that
all
the
union
leaders
I
don't
know
if
they're
here
today,
but
they
they're
there.
At
the
same
point
you
are,
they
want
this
train
launched
because
they
understand
the
stress
that
it's
putting
on
staff.
We
have
phil
landry
and
his
team,
mister
kantor
lacus.
The
mayor
and
sherry
hubely
and
chair
bleh,
asked
me
yesterday
to
look
at
a
downtown
mobility
plan.
H
Look
at
what
we
can
do
to
improve
things
because
we're
tight
on
traffic
and
is
there
anything
we
can
do
there
and
in
terms
of
the
equipment
our
fleet
folks,
are
hanging
on
to
all
the
buses
that
we
need.
So
we're.
Ok,
there
we
have
the
new
nova
buses
that
have
come
in,
there's
probably
another
bill
going
to
RTG,
because
we
have
to
extend
the
batteries
on
the
hybrid
buses
they'll
under
warranty.
H
By
now
they
should
have
been
gone
so
I'm
just
sharing
that
with
you,
because
I
have
a
list,
a
mile,
long
of
everything
that
gets
moved
and
it's
it's
difficult,
but
we're
here
to
serve
you
we're
committed
everybody.
I
can
assure
you.
The
morale
at
OC
Transpo
understands
that
they
want
to
be
there
for
you
and
for
the
customers.
They
don't
want
to
let
people
down
so.
H
K
K
Don't
know
if
people
are
calling
in
sick
or
they
know
that
they're
coming
to
the
end
of
their
career
as
an
operator,
and
they
just
don't
want
to
come
in
anymore,
but
clearly
we
have
a
problem,
and
while
it's
we're
dealing
with
it
now
and
you're
doing
your
best
to
get
people
in
there
we're
getting
in
this
summer
period,
things
will
slow
down.
The
buses
won't
be
quite
as
full,
we'll
be
okay,
but
I
think
we
really
need
to
have
a
plan
for
our
August
September.
K
H
We
have
a
plan.
We
we
have
the
right
operator
count.
There
is
a
North
America
shortage
on
operators.
By
the
way
we
used
to
graduate
25
people
per
class.
I
just
did
a
graduation
last
Friday
there's
two.
Now
we
are
not
going
to
waive
our
requirements
for
operators.
It's
a
very
tough
program
to
get
through.
We
do
have
a
plan
that
looks
ahead
for
July,
August
and
September.
H
There's
some
active
discussions
that
are
about
to
happen
with
the
unions,
where
we're
going
to
offer
premiums
for
people
to
give
up
their
vacations.
But,
to
be
honest
with
you,
some
people
are
tired
of
the
overtime
and
are
saying
look.
I
got
to
go,
see
my
family
this
weekend.
I
can't
work
every
single
day,
so
it's
a
challenge
but
we're
balancing
it
all
off
and
again,
with
the
cooperation
we're
getting
from
the
Union
and
staff,
we're
we're
doing.
K
So
our
next
update
that
we
have
would
be
I
assume
in
July
when
we
get
to
that
point.
I
think
you
get
to
a
point.
We
have
to
pull
a
pin
and
say:
ok
either.
We
know
we're
gonna
be
good
by
the
start
of
the
school
season.
The
summer,
whatever
I'm
the
summer,
the
buses
are
lighter,
things
are
different,
people
are
cottages
and
on
vacations
and
whatever,
but
when
that
school
year
starts,
that's
a
massive
impact.
K
So
what
point
do
you
feel
that
we
have
to
actually
have
plan
B
in
place
when
tend
to
be
July,
knowing
that
August
September's
right
around
the
corner
in
the
training
time,
if
we
have
to
get
more
operators
or
I'm?
Just
looking
for
assurances
you'll
come
back
with
a
plan
because
I
know
how
full
those
buses
get
when
University
and
College
starts
back
in.
H
Counselor
I
can
assure
you,
we've
done
that
look
ahead
and
the
balance
of
the
construction
season
and
things
like
that.
We're
doing
a
look
ahead
on
that
also,
if,
if
we're
into
September
there's
nothing
to
signal,
that's
where
we
are
right
now
we
need
to
get
through
the
two
weeks
of
monitoring
of
the
vehicles,
and
then
we
get
the
RSA
from
a
date
from
RTG
and
then
we'll
be
back
to
you

K
Last
questions
related
just
to
the
the
pain
that
we
felt
in
the
communities
about
the
ramp,
closure
and
I
know.
We've
talked
about
three
weeks
after
you
put
a
front
burner.
I
really
appreciate
that
and
thank
you.
But
is
there
any
opportunity
because
my
understanding
it
was
the
ministry
and
the
province.
That
said,
we
couldn't
intermingle
that
much
traffic
and
buses.
Is
there
any
opportunity
to
review
that
in
advance?
H
Counselor,
there's
nothing
in
the
short-term,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
Phil
Andrews
on
our
readiness
team
and
his
his
stream
is
all
the
traffic
locations
and
he's
got
all
that
mapped
out.
If
there
is
a
possibility
to
do
something,
we'll
look
again
but
right
now,
it's
it's
that
ramp
has
to
stay
the
way.
It
is
right
now
we
are
overlaying
all
the
other
construction
projects
and
if
there
is
work
on
Ennis
and
things
like
that
as
to
if
things
changes
I'll,
let
you
know
thanks
John.
L
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
to
mr.
Menken
area
and
just
say
that
I
appreciate
and
admire
your
steadfastness,
because,
although
this
is
very
frustrating,
I
agree
with
you
that
we
cannot
accept
a
substandard
system
on
day
one.
So
it
is
what
it
is,
but
we
have
to
accept
that
and
I
admire
that
I
just
want
to
understand.
This
is
delay.
Number
five
SEP
5
for
delay.
Number
four
they're
not
going
to
meet
the
June
30th
deadline.
Is
there
another
million
dollar
penalty
associated
with
that?
The.
H
H
H
H
No
there's
no
trace,
so
even
the
the
delays
and
the
claims
they
put
against
us
that
you've
heard
about
a
year
ago,
they're
they're
not
ready
to
go,
and,
as
mr.
Cadillac
has
said
to
me
a
year
over
a
year
ago,
we've
got
the
money,
we're
not
paying
them,
and
the
instruction
from
the
city
manager
was
crystal
clear
to
the
treasurer
deduct
all
these
costs,
and
yes,
we're
going
to
give
you
an
update
on
where
we
are.
You
saw
the
previous
memo.
L
H
L
I
want
to
talk
about
our
customers.
I
heard
what
councilor
Shibley
said.
I
thought
it
was
a
good
idea.
It
does
not,
in
my
mind,
go
nearly
far
enough.
Our
customer
base
right
now
is
beyond
frustrated
I
had
your
staff,
my
office
yesterday,
we
talked
about
this
buses
just
go
by
because
they're
full
they
don't
show
up.
L
We
can't
charge
full
fare,
I'm
sure
we're
not
going
to
increase
the
fares.
Fine,
but
it's
we're
still
charging
full
fare
for
a
subpar
system
and
we're
asking
our
customers
to
bear
with
us
and
to
tell
you
the
truth
is
Member
Council,
I'm
kind
of
tired
I'm
done
with
defending
it.
It's
indefensible
to
continue
to
charge
full
fare
for
subpar
system,
and
we
want
our
customers.
We
need
our
customers,
we
need
them
to
stick
with
us.
L
I
admire
the
men
and
women
and
children
in
this
city
who
have
stuck
with
us
this
long
because
there's
a
lot
of
temptation
to
go
another
route
at
this
point,
and
so
for
that
reason,
what
I
think
we
need
to
do
is
look
at
a
fare
reduction
until
this
system
opens,
and
you
can
add
that
on
to
our
to
G's
bill
as
far
as
I'm
concerned.
But
if
there's
a
30%
subpar
service,
then
we
should
reduce
the
fares
30%
and
until
the
system
opens,
we
should
have
that
reduction
in
fares
and
I.
L
Don't
think
any
one
of
us
can
defend
what's
happening
with
our
system
right
now
to
to
our
customers
and
I.
Think
as
a
member
of
council
I
need
to
be
able
to
go
and
say
you
know
what
we
appreciate
you,
we
appreciate
you
sticking
with
us.
We
know
we've
got
structural
problems
with
our
system
right
now
that
are
beyond
our
capacity
to
fix
until
we
get
this
train
system
open,
and
for
that
reason
we
are
going
to
reduce
your
fares
and
I.
Think
council
should
agree
to
that.
A
G
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
mayor
I
want
to
touch
on
the
traffic
issues
that
councilor
attorney
touched
on
very
quickly
and
obviously
our
prolonged
closure
of
the
417
ramp
and
the
frustration
that
has
caused,
given
that
Orleans
residents
have
faced
this
for
four
or
five
years
now.
Why
would
we
authorize
the
reduction
on
of
the
on-ramp
at
Nicholas
and
the
overpass
at
Ennis
Road?
At
the
same
time,
I.
G
H
G
G
G
H
G
H
That
speaks
to
counselor
attorneys
plan,
we're
looking
at
all
those
elements
and
things
like
that:
you're
driven
by
bus
count,
which
were
very
good
shape
and
operators.
So
the
the
piece
that
you
need
to
to
the
resource
challenges
operators
so
but
I
can
assure
you
that
every
single
bus
that
we
can
get
put
out
we
put
out
every
day,
okay,.
G
Thank
you,
your
worship,
Thank
You
mr.
man,
Coney
for
your
update
I,
certainly
agree
that
you're
in
a
very
tough
position
and
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
publicly
my
steadfast
support
for
you.
I
do
think
you're
the
right
man
for
the
job
and
I
do
appreciate
how
you've
handled
all
the
bumps.
Throughout
this
process,
the
train
carriages
you
elaborate
on
the
door
issue.
Are
there
any
other
issues
with
the
carriages
that
are
significant
a
month
to
let
us
know
about
today.
H
There's
five
elements
in
the
last
mr.
Morgan
to
elaborate:
if
we
need
to
there's
the
the
door
issues,
there's
the
there's
a
valve
on
the
braking
system
that
needs
to
be
inspected.
It's
tied
to
the
pressure
vessel,
so
there's
some
defective
valves.
The
issue
is
there
there's
five
of
those
on
each
train?
They
need
to
check
all
34
times,
five,
whatever
that
math
is
and
then
replace
them
and
fix
them.
H
There's
a
customer-facing
communication
system
which,
on
the
surface,
seems
simple
but
they're
all
tied
to
the
sub
system,
so
they're
feeding
the
next
stop
and
so
forth.
The
fourth
one
is
I
believe
mr.
Morgan
or
correct.
Maybe
there's
a
screen
for
operators
if
they're
on
alternate
routes
that
they
have
to
pick
certain
lists
so
that
that
feeds
the
next
customer
service,
stop
announcement
and
I'm
drawing
a
blank
for
the
fifth
there's.
H
There's
a
contact
issue
account
a
contact
component
from
the
pantograph
up
to
the
to
the
system
that
needs
to
be
checked
if
they're
defective.
We
had
one
incident
of
that
and
they
just
need
to
again
do
a
fleet
check
to
make
sure
that
those
are
addressed.
The
time-consuming
ones
are
the
doors
because
there's
a
retrofit
there's
a
procedure
and
I
just
share
this
with
you
counselor,
so
that
everybody
has
a
good
sense
on
you
know
how
hard
can
it
be
to
fix
a
door?
14
sets
the
door
on
a
train.
H
They
have
to
find
the
problem,
get
an
engineer
to
map
out
the
solution
they
didn't
do.
A
prototype
test
has
to
be
signed
off
by
a
safety
auditor.
Then
they
retrofit
the
fleet
and
then
reinstall.
So
it's
it's
time-consuming
so
that
and
the
defective
valve
on
the
the
pressure
vessel
are
the
two
most
time-consuming
one
on.
G
H
Having
good
consistent
days,
we've
had
some
very
good
days.
We've
had
some
challenging
days
so
about
what
I
mean
by
that
is
launch
starts
at
4:30
in
the
morning
where
they
launch
the
trains.
There's
some
that
have
been
very,
very
good,
there's
some
that
we've
had
either
a
power
issue,
a
train
control
system
issue.
Today
we
had
a
power
issue
that
that
knocked
down
some
of
the
system.
Those
are
all
things
that
get
teased
out
during
testing
commissioning.
H
So
it's
a
good
thing
that
we're
finding
those
things
out
the
issue
is
in
the
perfect
world,
we'd
have
all
34
vehicles
and
we'd
be
doing
everything
concurrently.
So
it's
the
you
know
the
critical
mass
that
you
get
from
having
the
entire
system
being
stressed
right
now,
because
I
don't
have
34
reliable
vehicles,
I
can't
see
how
those
all
interact
with
all
the
other
elements.
H
G
Just
going
to
assume
that
since
we
started
testing,
there
may
have
been
dozens,
if
not
hundreds
of
issues
which
have
been
identified
and
fixed
we're
sort
of
at
the
final
end,
where
some
of
the
key
outstanding
issues
has
there
been
any
issue,
that's
been
insurmountable
to
be
fixed.
Is
there
anything
that
you
just
have
repeatedly
tried
to
fix
that
you
haven't
been
able
to,
or
has
everything
that
you've
attempted
to
fixed,
been
fixed
successfully
and
we've
just
got
the
outstanding
issues
at
this
point?
No.
H
G
Two
last
points:
one
is
I'm
not
debating
what
what
I've
heard
here
about
a
fare,
freeze
or
a
fare
reduction,
but
are
there
any
other
options
that
can
be
considered
for
council
to
alleviate
some
of
the
reliability
issues
that
doesn't
resolve
or
involve
a
financial
commitment?
One
thing
could
be,
and-
and
don't
laugh
at
this,
but
is
actually
reducing
some
service
in
areas
to
improve
overall
service.
So
maybe
you
have
routes
that
have
multiple
routes
being
run
per
hour.
You
take
maybe
one
out
to
really
help
another
route
that
has
consistent
problems.
H
A
great
idea
councillor-
and
we
are
doing
that,
the
you
know,
routes
like
the
94
I
believe
are
very,
very
frequent
service
at
peak,
and
so,
if
there
needs
to
be
a
cancellation,
there
will
cancel
that
because
there's
another
one
in
the
next
five
minutes
versus
cancelling
a
route
that
only
runs
every
15
or
20
minutes.
We're
doing
all
that.
H
The
last
thing
I
want
to
do
right
now
is
come
to
you
and
say
we're
gonna
scale
back
service
across
the
board.
I
know
you're
not
suggesting
that,
but
we
are
thinking
about
all
those
things
and
I.
Do
welcome
any
idea
on
how
we
can
manage
those
things,
but
we
are
adjusting
very
frequent
routes.
If
we
need
to
bleed
off,
a
trip
will
bleed
off
of
one
of
those
if
we
need
to
and.
G
Just
the
last
thing
to
build
on
councillor
Tierney's
point
about
that.
You
know
the
the
September
crush
or
rush
that
we
have
the
the
influx
of
volume
with
post-secondary
starting
up
and
people
coming
back
when
does
either
fedko
or
the
Transit
Commission
get
an
outline
for
that
service
one
if
the
trains
are
running,
but
also
if
the
trains
aren't
running
and
God
forbid
winter
of
2019,
we
cannot
have
if
the
trains
aren't
running
by
this
coming
winter.
We
can't
have
the
same
type
of
service
that
we
had
this
past
winter.
H
The
focus
is
the
service
that
we
have
now
we'll
get
a
bit
of
relief
when
hice,
when
the
schools
let
out
we
are
challenged
with
redblacks
games,
lose
fast,
all
the
special
events
and
and
additional
detours,
but
the
team
has
been
looking
at
it
on
all
those
things
and
we
do
have
some
updates
coming
to
Transit
Commission
on
rollout
and
things
like
that
in
the
June
meeting.
So
there'll
be
lots
of
time
to
and
ask
questions
on
on
those
matters,
I'm
just
looking
at
sure
hubely
in
that
regard.
So
all.
F
You
very
much
I
feel
your
pain,
so
does
a
lot
of
our
customers
as
well.
Of
course,
I.
Don't
know
what
to
say,
but
it's
been
tough
I
appreciate
councillor
cube,
Lisa
idea
to
have
the
motion
and
I'd
be
happy
to
second
it
on
the
fair
freezes
at
Council
and
I.
Think
that
councillor
Dean's
has
raised
some
very
good
points
about
the
cost
we're
coming
up
to
September
2nd,
which
is
the
anniversary
of
cuts
that
were
made
in
anticipation
of
of
this
LRT
system
and
they
were
cuts.
F
This
has
not
been
status
quo
that
we
were
just
waiting
for
this
train
to
open
and,
as
you
know,
a
lot
of
people
suffered
from
those
cuts
because
they
were
not
on
the
traditional
going
downtown
routes.
They
were
on
routes
that
went
through
communities
and
it's
been
a
tough
winter,
very,
very
tough
winter,
for
those
people
on
the
number
11
route
and
I'm
still
hearing
about
it
and
I'd
like
to
know
if
it
comes
up
to
September,
2nd,
that's
the
one-year
anniversary
and
we
do
not
have
the
LRT
in
place.
H
It
will
be
a
challenge,
but
again
I
don't
want
to
go
through
another
year
and
you're,
absolutely
right,
it's
a
year
that
we
did
those
changes
based
on
RTG
telling
us
that
we're
ready
and
they
weren't-
and
my
second
comment:
it's
just
a
suggestion.
Sled
RTG
know
how
frustrated
you
are
counselor,
because
I
remember.
Our
very
first
meeting
you've
been
adamant
that
those
customers
are
going
through
that
pain.
This
is
on
our
TG.
They
need
to
step
up
their
game
and
get
this
thing
delivered.
F
E
Thanks
mayor,
just
a
couple
of
maybe
more
detailed
questions,
I
take
it.
There
is
a
vehicle
completion
plan.
My
understanding
from
what
you
said
is
that
that
vehicle
completion
plan
really
comprises
five
main
elements.
There's
the
doors
issue
you
need
to
check
a
valve
on
the
braking
system.
There
is
a
customer-facing
communication
system.
There
is
a
screen,
I
I,
take
it
on
the
vehicle
that
demonstrates
when
the
next
stop
is.
What
was
that
I?
Don't
understand
the
fifth
item
you
mentioned.
G
So
the
fifth
item
was
a
line
contactor,
it's
related
to
the
power
system
on
the
train.
So
it's
a
modification
and
failure
that
they've
discovered
as
part
of
running
the
the
fleet
they
need
to
go
through
the
fleet
and
make
that
change
it's
on
the
roof
of
the
vehicle.
So
it's
a
little
bit
harder
to
get
to.
But
it's
part
of
the
overall
program,
I
would
say
on
that
list.
G
The
two
heavy
hitters
are
the
brakes
and
the
doors
those
the
the
number
of
elements,
the
number
of
pieces
that
they
need
to
get
to
to
to
update
and
getting
those
vehicles
through
the
shop
to
do
that
work.
That's
probably
the
heavy
lift.
So
it's
really
measuring
their
progress
against
those
two
items
out
of
that
list
of
five
and.
G
E
G
E
G
So
on
an
overhead
catenary
system
or
a
third
rail
system,
it's
not
uncommon
for
the
power
to
trip
out.
If
you
have
a
vehicle
that
traverses
its
a
section
insulator.
Sometimes
you
get
skipping
in
the
interface
between
the
vehicle
and
the
overhead
catenary
that
can
cause
it
to
momentarily
trip
it
out.
Right
now,
we've
got
one
substation
that
we've
seen
trip
out
two
or
three
times
in
the
last
week,
and
so
that's
obviously
not
not
just
a
you
know
a
trivial
thing.
G
Mean
the
power
turns
off,
you
can
turn
it
back
on
remotely.
But
if
that's
happening
on
a
repeat,
it
will
happen
occasionally
and
typically
it's
you
can
just
turn
the
power
back
on.
It's
not
an
issue.
You
continue
in
service,
but
once
you
start
seeing
it
repeating
and
happening
multiple
times
over
the
period
of
a
week,
you
really
need
to
spend
the
time
go
into
the
substation.
Do
a
root,
cause
analysis
and
understand
why
it's
happening.
It
can't
happen
from
time
to
time.
G

H
So
the
bus
count
is
fine
because
we're
hanging
on
to
build
buses
we're
not
releasing
the
old
fleet.
Hence
my
comment
earlier
on
about
the
hybrids
they
were
scheduled
to
go,
but
we're
gonna
extend
the
warranty
on
the
the
batteries
and
so
forth.
Operators.
The
operator
account
generally
in
September,
were
a
pretty
good
shape
because
vacation
periods
over
and
so
forth,
but
that's
some
of
the
discussions
that
we're
having
with
the
unions
as
to
how
we
lock
those
people
down,
even
if
we
have
to
pay
them
some
premiums
to
it
to
be
available.
H
H
The
machines,
the
the
vending
machines
and
the
fare
gates
are
fully
functional
and
and
have
been
tested,
end-to-end
they're
ready
to
go.
We
have
not
on
the
ones
that
face
out
to
the
public
streets,
we
have
and
turn
them
on.
We've
turned
them
off
because
we
want
to
do
a
comprehensive
launch
with
them.
So
it
is
part
of
Plan
B
that
if
we
want
to
start
leveraging
that,
if
that
technology,
we
will
people.
E
E
Thank
you,
mr.
mayor
and
John,
thank
you
for
the
for
the
presentation.
A
couple
quick
questions
at
councillor.
Charity
had
mentioned,
of
course,
that
that
summer
is
coming,
and
we
all
hope.
That's
true,
though.
Lately
it's
yeah,
that's
a
little
unclear
with
the
with
the
temperatures,
but
you
made
the
comment
that
that
should
should
give
us
a
bit
of
a
break
in
terms
of
Sirte.
And
can
you
comment
on
that
from
an
operational
perspective,.
H
E
E
Can
we
have?
Can
we
have
sorry
it's
a
question
for
you,
mr.
O'connor,
in
light
of
the
possibility
of
a
motion
for
a
30%
reduction
coming
forward
and
the
potential
funding
source
being
RTG,
could
we
maybe
have
an
opinion
from
legal
as
to
the
likelihood
of
collecting
that
additional
30%
from
RTG
prior
to
the
motion
or
at
the
time
of
the
motion
for
next
counsel?
Yes,
mr.
mayor
will
do.
L
H
L
A
Lucas
Joel
just
on
this
issue,
obviously
like
many
people
here
and
throughout
the
city,
I
am
fed
up
and
frustrated
with
the
delays.
We
have
been
working
very
hard.
Our
staff
have
been
working
very
hard
to
ensure
that
we
have
a
system
that
was
going
to
be
ready
a
year
ago
and
we
recognize
on
these
big
builds.
There
are
delays,
you
know
you
look
at
the
kitchener-waterloo.
They
were
delayed
two
years
City
of
Toronto
several
years
of
Boston
ten
years.
A
But
earlier
this
morning
I
called
the
again
the
president
and
CEO
of
Alstom
and
let
him
know
when
no
uncertain
terms
that
we
were
fed
up
with
his
company's
performance
and
I'll
send
the
same
message
to
RT
G
when
I
speak
with
their
president.
I
also
invited
the
president
of
Alstom
to
come
to
Ottawa
within
the
next
ten
days
to
two
weeks,
so
that
we
could
have
a
high-level
meeting
with
the
president
of
RT
g,
the
president
wall,
stone
myself
and
our
senior
city
staff
and
he's
accepted.
A
That
invitation,
and
I
told
him
it's
not
going
to
be
a
pleasant
meeting,
because
we
are
fed
up
with
the
excuses
and
the
system
not
working
to
our
satisfaction
and
obviously
we're
not
going
to
accept
a
substandard
product
on
day.
One
can
you
imagine
that
we
accept
the
system
with
these
few
flaws
and
the
first
train
out
the
gates,
the
doors
don't
shut
properly
and
the
whole
system
is
backlogged,
we're
not
going
to
put
ourselves
and,
more
importantly,
we're
not
going
to
put
our
customers
and
the
residents
of
Ottawa
in
this
difficult
situation.
A
So,
certainly
for
me,
the
work
that
has
to
be
done.
We
are
putting
enormous
pressure
on
the
consortium
they
are
not
being
paid,
which
is
the
biggest
club
we
have
to
deal
with
this
consortium
that
has
not
lived
up
to
our
expectations
and
I
certainly
appreciate
the
desire
to
give
people
a
financial
break.
I.
A
Think
a
freeze
is
something
that
is
affordable
and
doable
and
would
be
justifiable
to
charge
that
back
to
RTG,
but
I'm
not
going
to
go
and
support
a
cut-in
in
the
cost,
because
our
costs
remain
consistent
and
then
the
price
then
just
goes
up
even
higher
when
we
have
to
make
up
for
that
lost
revenue,
it
doesn't
make
a
whole
lot
of
sense.
So
while
it
might
be
politically
popular
to
pander
to
allow
people
to
go
and
and
hope
that
their
bus
pass
is
gonna
cost
some,
you
know
30
or
40
dollars
less.
A
That
is
the
money
we
need
to
continue
to
expand
the
service.
We
heard
from
many
members
of
council
how
they
want
to
go
and
expand
service.
Well,
you
can't
expand
service
when
you're
cutting
the
fare
box
doesn't
make
make
a
lot
of
sense.
So
I'm,
looking
forward
to
that
meeting
because
I've
told
the
the
president
at
Alstom
the
frustration
that
we
feel
in
this
community
and
also
it's
a
reputational
hit
on
his
company.
You
know
he
wants
to
do
more
business
in
North
America
and
at
this
stage
we
can't
give
him
a
very
good
reference.
A
If
another
city
comes
looking
for
a
comment
on
Alstom
and
I
recognize
that
RT
g
is
the
lead
consortium,
but
the
biggest
issue
we
have
and
we've
had
for.
The
last
three
briefings
are
the
vehicles:
it's
not
the
stations,
it's
not
the
all
of
the
the
rather
the
the
rails
and
the
overhanging
wires,
and
so
on,
and
also
tomorrow,
Marcia
VC,
vector
performance,
Alstom,
H,
parle,
avec,
lapel,
a
donkey,
a
beat
Oh
France
private.
A
A
It
mostly
rely
on
OC,
Transpo,
structural,
poor
and
service
in
a
Cell
vasila
Nouveau,
the
service,
the
park
sub
table
Sonoma
and
also
opposing
critique
the
Monsieur
man
Coney.
You
Sony
keep
really
it's
a
frustration
that
I
think
we
all
have,
and
you
can
multiply
that
probably
10
times
with
John
man
Coney
because
he's
having
to
deal
and
live
with
this
frustration
each
and
every
day.
So
we
appreciate
the
position
you're
in
and
the
fact
that
you
continue
to
push
your
colleagues
at
RTG
forward
and
I.
Think.
A
My
hope
is
that,
with
the
president
of
of
ahlstrom
coming
here,
he
will
see
firsthand
how
frustrating
this
process
has
been.
So.
Thank
you
very
much
appreciate
it
now.
Super
over
to
present
test
show
the
next
and
last
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
City
of
Ottawa
Ward
boundary
review
councillor
tyranny
has
a
motion
and
I
know:
councillor
hubely
had
a
question
so
we'll
put
the
motion
on
the
floor.
First
councillor
Jerry
great.
K
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
mayor,
whereas
subsection
217,
one
of
the
Municipal
Act
2001,
authorizes
municipalities
to
change
the
composition
of
its
council
and
therefore
his
no
provision
in
such
by
law
to
be
appealed
by
the
local
Appeal
Tribunal
and
whereas
the
current
composition
of
the
Ottawa
City
Council
is
confirmed
by
the
bylaw
2005
534,
which
was
approved
by
council
in
November
30th
2005
and
provides
commencing
2006
to
2009
term
of
office.
That
City
Council
be
composed
of
a
mayor
elected
by
general
vote
and
23
members
elected
on
the
basis
of
one
member
per
ward.
K
Whereas
staff
reported
total
City
of
Ottawa
warbound
review
2019
to
2020
recommends
that
the
independent
consultant
be
retained
to
conduct
a
comprehensive
war.
Boundary
review
for
the
City
of
Ottawa
pursuant
to
miss
municipal
statutory
authority
to
divide
Andry,
divide
the
municipalities
of
the
wards
or
dissolve
existing
words
under
subsection
222.
One
of
the
act
consistent
with
the
terms
of
reference
attached
in
document
number
three.
K
Whereas
it
recommends
a
word,
boundary
review
would
be
conducted
without
predetermined
outcomes,
with
respect
to
the
ward
boundaries
and
the
goal
of
achieving
effective
representation,
as
well
as
various
legislative
and
case
law
requirements
and
other
objectives
set
out
by
staff
report
in
terms
of
reference.
Whereas
following
the
recent
events
related
to
the
city
of
Toronto's
Ward
boundaries,
that
staff
report
recommence,
the
city
clerk
and
solicitor
be
directed
to
send
a
letter
to
the
Premier
of
Ontario
and
the
Ontario
Minister
of
Municipal
Affairs
and
housing.
K
To
advise
a
council's
decision
with
respect
to
the
comprehensive
warbound
review
for
the
City
of
Ottawa.
Whereas
the
city,
clerk
and
solicitor
would
provide
an
opportunity
to
advise
new
Ontario
governments
and
the
City
of
Ottawa
does
not
intend
to
exercise
the
authority
under
the
Act
to
change
the
current
composition
of
council
through
the
proposed
Ward
boundary
review.
K
Whereas
further
the
municipality
statutory
authority
to
establish
councils,
composition,
Council
may
direct
and
independent
consultant
to
bring
forward
the
word
boundary
options
that
retain
the
current
council
composition,
while
achieving
effective
representation
and
the
other
intended
outcomes
of
the
review.
Whereas
council
would
not
preclude
a
consultant
from
testing
the
concepts
of
increasing
or
decreasing
the
word
numbers
as
part
of
the
primary
work
on
the
review
prior
to
bring
it
forward
to
Council
only
those
viable
recommendations
of
work,
boundary
options,
that's
routine
current
council
composition
and
accomplished
principles,
requirements
and
objectives,
as
described
above,
therefore
be
resolved.
K
In
addition
to
the
mayor
being
elected
by
general
vote,
as
outlined
in
bylaw
2005
534,
and
be
a
further
resolved
that
the
terms
of
reference
for
the
City
of
Ottawa
2019
to
2020
comprehensive
warbound
review,
be
outlined
in
document
3
amended
to
direct
the
independent
consultant
to
bring
forward
the
word
boundary
options
that
retain
the
existing
council
composition,
as
described
in
the
motion
and
pending
any
feedback
received
from
the
Ontario
government
in
response
to
the
city,
clerk
and
solicitor
letter.
Thank
you.
I
You,
mr.
mayor,
my
question
will
go
to
the
clerk
who
I
believe
will
be
leading
the
review.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
numbers
that
are
included
in
the
report
here,
the
the
projections
are
validated
because
I've
had
some
issues
with
the
ones
that
are
there
and
there's
just
azzaman
up
to
me.
Work
with
staff
on
that.
So,
if
I
get
confirmation
that
they
will
reach
out
to
the
individual
councillors
and
also
validate
the
numbers,
I'd
be
very
happy.
I
G
E
G
No
we're
not
mr.
mayor
I,
think
that
would
would
limit
the
pool
even
further.
It's
a
fairly
shallow
pool
right
now.
With
regard
to
the
expertise,
we
would
certainly
look
forward
to
the
process
and
ensure
that
they
are
familiar
with
the
City
of
Ottawa
on
that,
but
I
wouldn't
make
it
a
condition
of
their
hiring.
Is.
C
E
G
I
think,
mr.
mayor,
it's
probably
going
to
be
six
to
one
half
dozen,
a
the
other.
What
we're
looking
for
is
an
independent,
impartial
objective
person
who
can
provide
that
professional
expertise,
but
I
wouldn't
say
it's
a
disadvantage
to
be
yeah
in
the
City
of
Ottawa
or
external
to
it.
But
I'm
not
aware
of
any
particular
consultants
that
are
here
that
could
do
the
work.
L
L
We
spend
taxpayers
money
on
this
exercise
that
they
would
respect
the
outcome
of
the
recommendations
that
this
council
approves
ultimately
because
otherwise,
if
they're
just
going
to
come
in
and
and
realign
all
our
boundaries
for
us,
then
it
doesn't
really
make
a
lot
of
sense.
In
my
mind,
to
spend
taxpayers
dollars
going
through
this
exercise.
So
I
guess
this
question
to
you.
Mr.
L
A
Mr.
clerk,
that's
the
intent
of
one
of
the
paragraphs
and
the
motion
is-
and
we
put
it
in
specifically
because
we
didn't
want
to
get
surprised
by
the
provincial
government,
we're
saying
look
it
we're
gonna,
go
and
start
this
process,
but
tell
us
ahead
of
time.
If
you
have
plans
to
change
our
composition.
Otherwise
we
won't
waste
our
time
and
our
taxpayers
money.
Is
that
fair
assessment?
Mr.
Clerk,
absolutely.
A
So
you
know
the
task
is
really
before
the
independent
consultant,
plus
our
own
City
election
staff,
who
know
the
boundaries
inside
and
out
and
I've
said
I,
don't
want
to
see
a
whole
bunch
of
money
put
into
hiring
a
consultant
when
we
can
do
a
lot
of
the
legwork
with
our
own
election
staff
that
are
experts
on
where
the
boundaries
are
where
people
live
and
so
on.
So
thank
you
for
that
councillor
harder.
Please
thank.
J
You
mr.
Marin
I
just
would
like
to
as
one
of
two
people
at
the
table
that
we're
here
in
2006
and
all
the
fun
that
went
down
then
having
some
councillors
talk
about
how
they
had
to
keep
one
side
of
the
street,
because
the
people
really
liked
them
there
I
want
to
make
sure
that
a
couple
of
things
happen.
This
time,
I
think
that
there's
not
a
lot
of
reason
to
throw
out
the
baby
with
the
bathwater
we're
not
necessary.
J
We
have
some
works
that
are
the
perfect
size
that
don't
have
growth
anticipated
on
any
nature.
A
couple
hundred
400
500
people
we
have.
We
have
areas
like
bar
Haven,
for
example,
where
you
have
1.3
representatives
for
over
90,000
people
just
on
the
factor
of
representation
by
population.
We
fail
abysmally
there
and
we
have
other
areas
in
the
city.
J
So
what
I'm
suggesting
is
that
we
make
sure
that
whoever
we
whomever
we
hire
is
is
looking
at
it
with
a
lens
of
practical
and
then
where
the,
where
the
real
issues
of
growth
are
that
we
know,
and
we
know
that
we
absolutely
know
that
mr.
Willis
staff
has
got
that
information
at
their
fingertips.
I,
don't
think
this
has
to
be
the
cost
that
other
people
have
have
paid.
J
G
Mayor
I
certainly
will
take
that
direction
and
I
think
it's
understood
that
with
the
motion,
that's
on
the
table,
if
it's
passed
by
committee
and
council,
that
that
very
is
clearly
committee
and
councils
direction
that
there's
about
to
be
additional
elected
representatives
and
the
23
wards
or
where
you
want
to
stand.
So
absolutely
mr.
maryk.
I
Thank
you
just
on
the
motion
and
the
project
parameters.
How
do
they
really
work
together?
So
you,
you
start
from
a
point
when
we
did
this
in
2005.
It
wasn't
done
from
a
point
of
okay,
go
and
review
it,
but
this
is
the
number
we
want.
How
do
you
deal
with
the
principle
of
effective
representation
looking
at
population
growth
for
the
next
three
terms
and
determine
that?
Well,
today,
we
have
twenty
three
and
twelve
years
from
now.
We
want
to
have
twenty
three.
How
does
that
make
any
sense.
E
Mr.
mayor
are
started
with
an
analogy
because
I
think
it's
relevant.
This
happens
all
the
time
with
respect
to
federal
and
provincial
ridings,
that
the
chief
electoral
office
in
each
of
the
provinces
or
federally
is
given
a
number
and
they
work
from
that
number,
and
that
number
is
meant
to
work
for
ten
years.
How
many
elections
there
will
be
a
year.
So
this
is.
This
is
not
new.
E
With
respect
to
municipalities,
the
legislation
states
said
it
is
council
to
discernment,
determine
the
composition
it
to
determine
its
composition,
and
so
here
we
have
a
process
that
we're
embarking
upon.
Now
we
have,
in
my
opinion,
a
robust
terms
of
reference,
but
a
direction
possibly
from
council,
depending
on
whether
or
not
the
motion
carries
that
there
be
23,
and
so
it
seems
to
me
that
an
independent
expert,
it's
going
to
be
able
to
look
at
that
apply
the
principle
of
effective
representation
and
over
analysis.
E
I
In
2005
part
of
the
review,
one
of
the
challenges
we
had
in
one
of
the
wards
old
go
over
an
Ward
was
that
it
was
being.
It
was
shifting
too
much
to
one
side,
so
one
councillor
could
get
elected
purely
on
this
distal
pulse
and
the
rest
of
the
go
over
in
polls
were
irrelevant
to
that
you
have
that
risk
where
you
you
create
that
balance
and
I've
got
no
problem
with
the
fact
that
we
talk
over
one
has
a
portion
of
our
Haven
apportion
justice.
Well,
I
have
no
problem.
I
If
we
don't
go
over
took
more
of
our
Haven.
The
challenge
you
have
is
that
when
you
get
certain
rewards
cumberland,
for
instance,
where
the
urban
population
is
getting
bigger
and
bigger
and
bigger
into
the
rural
site
portion
of
that
award,
the
rural
population
in
that
ward
is
therefore
underrepresented
in
that
ward
you're,
going
to
keep
your
full
rewards
I
get
that,
but
if
you
don't
create
the
proper
balance
across
all
the
wards,
for
instance,
bar
Haven
award
itself,
not
bar
Haven
Riverside,
south
bar
Haven
itself
should
be
two
wars,
if
not
now.
I
Definitely
in
ten
years
in
Riverside,
South
and
family
Creek
should
itself
be
one
ward.
So
if
you
don't
create
the
option
of
coming
back
with
looking
at
what
25
councilors
looks
like
or
what
18
counselors
will
take,
or
whatever
you
want
to
do,
if
you
don't
do
the
proper
review,
without
being
hamstrung
by
a
number
I,
don't
feel
that
what
we're
gonna
have
in
the
end
is
a
proper
review.
E
A
K
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
mayor
and
I,
and
forgive
me
I
would
have
certainly
had
Aaron
romantic
from
the
Gloucester
emergency
food
cover
come
forward.
Thanks,
Aaron
give
a
wave
back
there.
She
does
great
work
in
our
community
and
we're
very
excited
about
item
number,
nine,
the
city's
commitment
to
getting
a
more
affordable
housing
in
the
neighborhood
and
how
this
can
really
impact
that
food
cupboard
in
that
community.
So
we're
very
proud
of
this,
and
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
acknowledge
at
great.
