a
lifelong
resident
of
manitech
born
and
raised
in
Mattituck
her
she
comes
from
the
legendary
scarf
clan
and
they
they
had
the
Moffitt's
kind
of
surrounded
on
on
first
line
Road.
It
wasn't
exactly
a
Hatfields
and
McCoys
situation,
but
we've
always
generally
got
along.
D
So
it's
always
a
good
thing,
and
that's
why
she's
here
today,
you'll
always
see
her
you'll
always
see
her
at
a
tower:
Remembrance
Day
ceremonies
in
the
magnetic
north
core
and
cars
she's
always
graceful
to
be
able
to
come
and
sing
the
national
anthem
as
well
as
God
Save
the
Queen.
So
it's
a
pleasure
to
have
her

You

a
fan
club.
Isn't
that
great
welcome
the
avenue
in
recognition
of
more
than
40
years
of
community
work
and
support
for
local
charities.
The
mayor
city
builder
award
is
presented
today
to
dick
and
Brian
Cooper
and
the
Cooper
brothers.
It's
my
pleasure
to
welcome
councilor
leaper
here,
he's
proud
of
his
constituents
and
their
work
that
they
have
done
over
many
decades.
This
award
recognizes
the
people.
A
Who've
demonstrated
extraordinary
commitment
to
their
community
to
make
our
city
a
better
place
through
volunteerism
and
exemplary
action
for
those
of
us
who've
been
around
for
a
few
years,
the
Cooper
brothers
added
to
the
soundtrack
of
our
lives,
and
they
are
admired
for
their
many
contributions
to
Ottawa's
music
scene.
The
band
was
founded
in
Ottawa
by
brothers,
Brian
and
dick
and
their
longtime
friend
Terry
King.
They
began
releasing
several
signals
in
1974
and
at
their
first
big
hit
in
1978
rock
and
roll
cowboys,
and
the
follow
up.
A
The
dream
never
dies,
love
that
song
dick
and
Brian
Cooper,
and
the
Cooper
brothers
used
their
success
to
give
back
to
the
community
and
help
others
in
Ottawa
in
the
mid-1970s.
They
headlined
their
first
of
many
fundraisers
performing
at
Lansdowne
Park
to
raise
funds
for
a
new
roof
at
Our
Lady
of
Perpetual
Help
Church.
In
1984,
they
held
a
fundraising
ball
for
the
camp
for
cancer
research
in
the
1986.
A
A
charity
concert
at
the
Civic
Center
featuring
local
bands
and
raising
$45,000
to
establish
an
Ottawa
branch
of
the
Ottawa
Wish
Foundation
and
for
the
past
23
years,
dick
Cooper,
with
the
help
of
his
brother
Brian
in
the
band,
has
been
instrumental
in
producing
ringside
for
youth,
which
is
a
tremendous
success
in
our
city.
This
annual
gala
features,
musical
entertainment
and
local
amateur
boxers
raises
money
for
the
Ottawa
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
A
The
total,
so
far
raised
has
been
more
than
three
million
dollars
in
the
twenty
fifth
edition'
takes
place
at
the
Shaw
Center
on
June
6
of
this
year.
The
Boys
and
Girls
Club
of
Ottawa
is
an
important
cost
for
the
band
and
they
have
helped
install
recording
studios
at
two
club
houses
and
the
Cooper
brothers
wrote
the
theme
to
Chios
annual
telethon
and
performed
at
every
telethon
from
1983
to
1993.
A
G
Older
we've
started
helping
the
vets
a
bit
they
at
the
Legion,
which
is
another
great
cause
that
we
like
to
support.
We
came
bearing
gifts,
so
I
brought
a
CD
for
all
the
people
in
the
council,
so
stop
the
illegal
downloading
play
the
CD
and
thank
the
wives
who
have
put
up
with
us
for
way
too
long.
Okay,
thanks
everybody.
A
Well,
thank
you
both
very,
very
much
and
thank
you.
Derek
for
nominating
and
you've
obviously
got
a
great
group
of
fans
here
for
our
next
presentation,
I'd
like
to
invite
councilor
genocides,
chair
of
the
community,
Protective
Services,
Committee
city
manager,
Steve,
Cadillac,
as'
and
Janice
Burrell,
who
is
the
general
manager
of
the
city's
community
and
social
services
department
to
come
forward.
Welcome,
be
avenue.
A
A
A
Think
she
is
well
known
for
and
is
respected,
for
is
for
her
passion
for
the
city,
our
residents
and
making
a
true
difference
in
the
lives
of
people
in
our
community,
particularly
the
vulnerable
community
of
Ottawa.
It's
not
too
often
that
one
can
say
that
they've
been
with
the
same
organization
for
36
years,
but
Janice
can
she
began
her
career
in
the
City
of
Ottawa
in
1980
working
part-time
with
a
parks
and
recreations
department
running
an
after
for
summer
and
summer
day.
Programs
excuse
me,
after
graduating,
from
the
University
of
Ottawa.
A
A
I
think
this
is
a
philosophy
that
is
evident
and
the
great
work
that
she
has
done
for
our
city
and
our
residents,
whether
is
through
projects
like
the
housings
10
year,
the
city's,
how
10
year,
housing
and
homelessness
plan
or
focusing
on
improving
the
services.
We
offer
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
Janice,
to
thank
you
for
your
many
many
decades
of
dedicated
service
and
exceptional
work,
and
we
wish
you
the
very,
very
best
in
retirement,
as
you
reverse,
the
set
occasional
mlc
Janus
I
would
like
to.
I
Thank
you
very
much
mayor.
It's
a
real
honor
for
me
to
be
here
to
celebrate
36
years
of
dedicated
service
to
the
City
of
Ottawa.
Some
people
may
not
know
I
started
as
a
file
clerk
back
in
1985.
So
it's
a
revenge
of
the
file
clerks
we've
taken
over
file
clerks
are
running
the
city,
Varro
you're,
in
good
hands.
I
Since
I
returned
in
2016,
Janice
has
been
a
valued
member
of
our
senior
leadership
team
and
I.
Remember
the
day
very
clearly,
when
I
asked
you
to
take
the
leadership
role
of
community
and
social
services,
she
said
no
to
me
initially,
but
I
convinced
her
she's
been
an
inspiring
leader.
I
caring
colleague
and
a
strong
voice
for
the
needs
of
our
community,
and
it's
without
a
doubt
that
our
social
services
team,
our
community
partners
in
the
city
as
a
whole
will
miss
her
exceptional
leadership.
I
I
We
appreciate
you
Janice
and
we're
thankful
that
so
many
years
ago
you
made
a
fateful
decision
to
work
for
your
local
government
as
a
file
clerk,
because
today
I
can
say
that
without
any
doubt
that
our
city
is
a
better
place
because
of
you
and
you
made
exceptional
contributions
to
our
city
in
our
community.
You
gave
us
the
benefit
of
your
experience,
your
talent,
your
knowledge
and
your
commitment
and
dedication
to
our
community.
I
You
gave
us
that
as
a
gift-
and
that
is
our
small
way
of
thanking
you
in
return
for
over
36
years
of
dedicated
service
to
the
city,
so
Swift
are
our
honor
that
myself,
councillor
suds
and
mayor
Watson
present
you
with
this
framed
photograph
of
the
atrium
ceiling
of
the
Princeton
Avenue
location
of
cornerstone
housing
for
women.
Thank
you.
J
J
See,
there's
Kleenex
here
at
the
podium,
so
I
think
that's
a
really
good
idea.
Under
the
circumstances.
I
am
so
grateful
to
you,
mayor
Watson,
to
my
current
and
past
chairs
and
the
rest
of
council
for
this
awesome
opportunity
to
serve
you
and
the
residents
of
Ottawa.
The
city
continues
to
transform
in
so
many
progressive
ways
as
a
direct
result
of
your
vision
and
the
priorities
that
you
have
set
for
us.
Ottawa
residents
enjoy
a
vibrant
city
that
is
more
welcoming.
J
Mobile,
active,
safe
and
sustainable
I
will
miss
the
beautiful
music
that
filters
into
my
office
from
the
grand
piano
I
will
miss
witnessing
all
the
events
at
City
Hall
that
start
at
the
break
of
dawn
and
go
into
the
evening
planned
and
executed
tirelessly
by
staff
working
long
hours
to
make
sure
every
single
event
is
a
success.
You
have
built
a
City
Hall
that
truly
belongs
to
the
people.
J
I've
had
the
distinct
pleasure
and
privilege
of
working
for
an
inspirational
leader,
Steve
Kenna
lacus,
and
an
amazing
and
supportive
senior
leadership
team,
as
well
as
all
your
smart,
hardworking
staff
who
have
been
great
collaborators
for
our
department.
As
for
the
diverse
and
caring
staff
of
my
department,
words
cannot
express
how
extremely
proud
I
am
of
the
work
we've
accomplished
together
and
of
the
partnerships
we
foster
to
continuously
improve
services.
J
I
have
often
said
the
work
that
we
do
in
social
services
is
not
for
the
faint
of
heart
services
that
are
dedicated
the
services
that
our
dedicated
staff
and
partners
deliver
are
not
without
are
not
often
called
popular.
I
suspect,
though,
that
all
of
us
have
known
someone
a
friend,
a
family
member
or
even
maybe
ourselves,
who,
at
some
point
in
their
lives,
has
needed
help
I
would
not
want
to
see
a
city
without
these
critical
services.
J
A
K
A
A
Many
of
you
know
the
city
once
again
is
experiencing
some
real
challenges
with
flooding,
particularly
the
Ottawa
River,
at
the
opportunity
to
to
or
different
parts
of
the
the
city
a
few
days
ago,
and
unfortunately,
with
this
rain
and
the
amount
of
snow,
we
had
we're
not
out
of
difficult
times
for
at
least
another
week
or
so
so.
I've
asked
the
senior
person
in
the
organization
Tony
Demonte,
who
has
responsibility
for
this
file.
A
F
You
mayor,
the
City
of
Ottawa
is
continuing
our
emergency
operations
in
response
to
the
rising
levels
along
the
Ottawa
River.
We
held
a
technical
briefing
on
April
4th
to
help
inform,
have
the
residents
on
how
to
best
and
the
city's
operation
center
went
into
situational
awareness,
which,
at
that
time,
as
you
all
know,
we
began
monitoring
what
was
going
on.
We
have
to
escalate
that
to
enhanced
operations
and
mobilize
our
teams
on
April
18th
as
a
result
of
the
evolving
situation,
the
spring
Frechette
continues
to
evolve
and,
unfortunately,
water
levels
are
continuing
to
increase.
F
The
experts
are
telling
us.
We
may
see
predictability
now
of
a
peak
on
Sunday
or
Monday
and
we're
taking
appropriate
measures.
Projected
increases,
unfortunately,
are
similar
to
those
observed
during
the
May
2017
flood.
Yet,
as
you
indicated,
depending
on
rain,
depending
on
how
the
snowpack
melts
further
up
the
valley
and
it
pours
into
the
Ottawa
River,
that
is
still
we're
still
a
little
ways
out
to
be
able
to
predict
more
accurately.
F
The
city
team
has
been
responding
and
have
set
up
incident
command
posts,
support
services
and
volunteer
registrations
in
the
most
affected
areas,
namely
Constance
baby
becomes
bay
community
center,
the
intersection
of
the
174
more
a
road
in
Cumberland
and
the
wrong
colbus
Center.
In
the
in
the
upper
parking
lot,
we've
had
tremendous
turnout
from
community
volunteers
with
over
1200
registrations
supporting
deployment
of
more
than
150,000
sandbags.
F
To
date,
we've
kept
the
affected
ward
councillors
updated
named
Lee's
councillor,
Elgin,
Terry,
Blatt
and
Cavanaugh
and
I
want
to
thank
them
personally
for
their
continued
support
during
our
operations
in
that
hard-hit
communities
that
they
serve.
I
wish
to
thank
also
staff,
especially
the
public
crews,
Public
Works
teams
that
have
been
invaluable
partners
and
have
helped
mitigate
a
lot
of
the
the
work
that
we've
had
to
do
and
have
been
out
in
large
numbers
in
the
affected
areas.
F
Also,
two
key
external
partners,
actually,
three,
the
Ottawa
volunteer,
search
and
rescue
team
rubicon
and
the
solving
Salvation
Army
have
been,
amongst
others,
who
have
been
providing
supports
on
site
and
have
been
invaluable
sand
and
sandbag
stocks
are
not
only
sufficient
at
this
time.
To
me
to
protect
the
demand
and
the
onset,
the
city
had
250,000
rather
in
stock,
and
we've
deployed
more
than
150,000
today
and
hundred
thousand
have
been
ordered,
and
we
have
on
stockpiled
on
that
in
the
different
sites,
more
sandbags
that
have
already
been
prepared
by
volunteers
to
be
deployed,
if
required.
F
At
this
time
we're
telling
residents
are
encouraged
to
go
to
Ottawa
CA
for
the
most
updated
information
and
mayor
will
continue
to
keep
counsel,
especially
the
ward
councillors,
directly
involved
yourself
informed
as
to
the
technical
information
we're
getting
from
the
experts
on
the
Frechette,
and
certainly
we
will
stay
on
the
ground
have
boots
on
the
ground
until
the
events
are
over
and
help
people
in
the
recovery,
Thank
You.
Mr.
mayor.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very,
very
much

le.
A
N
B
F
Mayor
the
framework
provides
council,
a
modality
of
which
we
move
forward.
The
councillors
directly
to
your
question
will
be
coming
back
to
you
and
asking
you
what
what
bylaws
you
want
reviewed
in
the
term
of
Council
and
at
that
time,
that
can
be
added
there
and
council
as
a
whole
will
decide
what
our
work
plan
will
be
for
the
next
term.
Okay,.
B
P
B
A
K
Speaks
to
precedent
really
I
just
want
to
I
just
want
to
see
whether
we
if
we
approve
this
I,
mean,
for
example,
I
was
talking
with
a
counselor
Tierney
yesterday
and
it's
the
50th
year
that
bar
Haven
has
been
built.
Okay,
that's
an
example
who
would
think
it,
but
what
kind
of
precedent
does
a
said?
Are
we
going
to
be
looking
at
other
communities
wanting
to
come
forwarding
and
getting
money
for
the
same
kind
of
purpose,
and
would
it
not
don't
we
have
a
process
in
place
that
people
can
apply
for
for
special
funding.
A
Yeah,
it
was
the
direction
the
staff
on
page
105,
says
the
staff
review
the
present
process,
develop
policy
framework
with
guidelines
and
criteria
as
well
as
tender
by
sources
of
funding
for
a
large
special
community
events
and
I'm,
not
I,
won't
be
supporting
the
future
dipping
into
the
contingency
fund,
because
that's
not
the
purpose
of
contingency
fund.
It's
for
emergencies,
not
for
celebration.
A
So
for
this
time,
we'll
I'm
going
to
support
it,
but
I
think,
as
the
committee
did,
the
right
thing
as
CPS
and
directed
staff
to
come
up
with
a
framework
because
we
otherwise
the
flood
gates,
will
open
folks
will
have
every
group
celebrating
the
you
know,
79th
anniversary
of
something,
and
you
know
it
gets
a
little
out
of
hand.
So,
okay,
thank
you
for
that
feedback,
counselors
harder
and
do
this
on
the
motion
carried
item.

solid

that

M
M
Sustainable
purchasing
guideline,
particularly
life
cycle
costing,
and
particularly,
to
require
calculation
of
the
greenhouse
gas
implications
of
different
vehicles
to
inform
the
specification
and
procurement
strategies
decision.
So
it's
simply
asking
staff
to
consider
when
they
are
going
out
to
procure
new
garbage
trucks
that
they
in
that
they
include
the
contamination.
A
We
have
other
people
who
want
to
speak
so
we're
gonna
have
to
hold
this
that
no
worries.
Okay.
Thank
you.
Okay.
So
we'll
come
back
to
that
item.
11
response
to
be
City
motion
carried
item,
12
City
of
Ottawa
declaration
of
climate
emergency
have
a
lotta
hoie
Declan,
still
arrow
schematic
hold
it
item.
A
Does
anyone
wish
to
remove
anything
from
the
bulk
consent
agenda
on
the
block
consent
as
presented
carried?
Okay?
So
the
first
item
is
provincial:
are
sorry
Ottawa,
Public,
Health's
2018
annual
report
and
we'll
deal
with
the
provincial
budget
announcement
motion
at
the
same
time,
so
doctor
etches
is
there
and
I
believe
councillor
Lutz,
you
had
a
question.
B
B
L
L
Currently,
the
City
of
Ottawa
municipal
contribution
is
about
13
point,
6
million
dollars
or
less
than
$14
per
person
across
Ottawa,
and
so
we
don't
have
any
details
beyond
that.
There's
discussion
about
changes
to
programs
that
are
a
hundred
percent
prevention
fund
'add
and
the
funding
formula
changing
over
the
years
to
come.
So
we
have
not
yet
received
our
provincial
funding
announcement
for
the
City
of
Ottawa,
so
it's
early
days
for
us
to
understand
specifically
exactly
what
the
funding
impact
will
be.
L
The
next
deadline
that
is
important
is
April,
1st
2020,
when
we
understand
that
the
ten
new
autonomous
Public
Health
entities
with
different
boards
of
health
that
are
regional,
are
meant
to
start
operating.
So
that's
less
than
eleven
months
from
now
or
less
than
twelve
months
from
now,
and
we
don't
yet
have
details
on
what
those
regions
will
be
for
those
ten
and
today's
certainly
seeking
that
kind
of
information
to
be
able
to
plan
and
work
effectively
towards
that.
Overall,
the
whole
sector
is
expected
to.
L
You
know,
find
find
cuts
of
about
two
hundred
million
dollars
across
the
public
health
secretary
in
the
province
through
these
amalgamations
and
looking
at
back-office
efficiencies.
I
know
our
back
office
is:
is
this
provided
through
the
city
of
Ottawa
and
it's
very
efficient?
So
you
know
keeping
that
in
mind.
Those
are
the
main
pieces
that
were
announced
in
the
budget
and.
D
D
B
L
Potentially
the
case,
as
I
said
there
may
be
transitional
funding,
there
may
be
other
avenues
to
explore.
You
know
my
focus
right
now
is
making
sure
that
we
protect
and
promote
the
health
of
the
population.
You
know
we
have
essential
services,
we
provide
every
day,
and
so
you
know
supporting
staff
to
continue
that
work.
While
we
think
about
where
are
the
opportunities
in
this
change?
How
can
we
strengthen
in
fact,
Public
Health
functions,
perhaps
in
new
ways
and
the.
D
And
the
other
piece
counselors
we've
also
entered
into
discussions
with
our
city
partner.
As
recently
as
this
morning
we
had,
we
had
a
discussion
with
the
city
manager
and
and
I
think
we're
all
on
the
same
page.
We
need
more
information
at
this
point
to
decide
which
way
we're
going
forward,
how
we're
going
forward
and
what
those
challenges
are
gonna
be.
But
you
know,
we've
we've
opened
that
dialogue
with
mr.
Kenna
lactis
as
well
he's
been
very
open
to
it.
B
L
H
O
K
K
The
partnership
that
we
had,
and
one
of
my
big
concerns-
is
how
these
these
cuts
are
going
to
hurt
kids,
because
currently
we
have
these
amazing
partnerships
and
I
just
want
to
know
if
that's
been
raised,
because
this
is
a
very
special
relationship
we
work
with
in
schools,
we
you
know,
make
sure
people
are
vaccinated,
we
we
do
so
many
services
and
and
as
I've
repeated
before
it's
it's
a
two
percent
solution.
Only
two
percent
of
the
entire
health
budget
is
public
health
and
yeah.
It
saves
so
many
lives.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
about.
L
Thank
You
counselor
when,
when
faced
with
the
possibility
of
significant
changes
to
the
public
health
sector,
potentially
reductions
in
the
resources
to
to
operate,
it
does
start
us
thinking
about
what
our
priority
services
and
what
what
is
most
important
in
the
community
and
I
think
this
is
where
the
perspective
of
elected
officials
is
important,
representing
your
communities
to
help
inform
the
way
forward.
We
we've
absolutely
value
the
local
connections
on
the
ground
so
with
local
service
providers.
L
We
talked
about
the
emergency
response
today,
we're
part
of
that
response
to
the
floods
with
the
city
with
the
school
boards.
You
know
with
police.
These
are
all
partnerships
that
need
to
be
maintained,
as
you
know,
essential
for
continuing
to
improve
the
health
of
our
city,
so
that
kind
of
thinking
is
happening
in
terms
of
how
do
we,
in
a
time
of
perhaps
regionalization
look
at
maintaining
links
on
the
ground
to
local,
municipal
and
other
partners.
Thank
you.
One
of
the.
D
Things
the
other
comment
I
would
make
councillor
to
you,
know
the
ability
of
Public
Health
the
impact
on
people's
lives.
Save
lives
is
also
financially
the
multiplier
effect.
Every
dollar
spent
on
on
on
public
health
has
a
huge
multiplying
effect
within
the
community
within
the
greater
healthcare
system.
So
I
think
that's
something
we
can't
lose
sight
of
either
absolutely.
K
One
of
the
suggestions
I,
would
have,
and
and
in
terms
of
our
recommendations
of
sending
a
letter
to
the
province,
is
making
sure
that
we
CC
all
are
mpps
in
in
the
Ottawa
region
and
make
sure
that
they
understand
the
importance
on
the
ground,
the
people
that
they
represent
as
the
MPPs,
how
this
is
going
to
hurt
them.
Thank
you
very
much.
M
Thank
you,
I
don't
sit
on
the
public
health
board
this
year,
but
I
did
or
this
term,
but
I
did
last
term
and
it
it
certainly
was
one
of
the
more
rewarding
bodies
that
I
sat
on
for
four
years
in
terms
of
the
work
that
was
done
through
public
health.
So
you
know,
all
of
you
know
what's
happening
now.
What
the
cuts
is
is
really
quite
disconcerting
and
when
I
think
about
last
term,
you
know
the
most
significant
thing.
M
I
believe
we
did
in
terms
of
recognizing
some
of
the
very
special
needs
of
our
most
vulnerable
communities.
And
you
know
those
are
folks
who
are
often
Street
involved,
living
in
shelters
living
in
in
rooming
houses
and
and
our
you
know,
active
users
of
drugs
and
and
have
been
so
affected
by
the
the
opioid
crisis.
And
you
know
the
most
significant
thing
we
did
was
to
respond
to
that
with
the
opening
of
Clarence
Street
supervised
consumption
service.
M
The
support
we
gave
to
you
know
Sandy
Hill,
to
inner-city
health,
for
the
the
trailer
and
to
Somerset
West
community
health
center
in
the
ward
that
I
represent
and
I
know
today
that
you
know
Clarence
Street
has
been
you
know
effectively
defunded
by
by
the
provincial
government,
and
it
is,
you
know,
I
think
that
unless
you
are
visiting
Sandy
Hill,
the
trail
or
Somerset
West
is
over
capacity.
The
the
number
of
unique
visits
that
they
are
getting
at,
that
walk
in
supervised
consumption
service
is,
is
multiplying,
monthly
and
so
to
have
one
closed
down.
M
Clarence
really
is
untenable.
We
are
really
you
know
the
the
government
is
leaving
behind
people
who
will
who
will
die
essentially,
but
without
that
service.
So
I
know
that
we've
written
a
letter
I
know
that
we've
appealed
to
to
the
better
senses,
but
I
wonder
what
the
plan
is.
If
and
when
you
know,
we
are
confirmed
that
that
clearance
is
not
going
to
be
funded
by
by
the
provincial
government.
M
D
Council
we've
done
a
couple
of
things:
we've
met
with
the
mayor
on
several
occasions
and
and
mayor
and
senior
city
staff
have
been
very
supportive
of
finding
a
solution
here
you
know,
I
want
to
make
absolutely
clear.
The
the
the
site
is
still
up
and
running
seven
days
a
week.
It's
still
there.
It's
still
working
these
recent
announcements,
of
course
make
it
that
much
more
challenging.
We've
also
reached
out
to
our
federal
partners
we're
awaiting
more
feedback
from
them.
M
Thank
you
for
that
and
I
I
do
appreciate
the
work
that's
been
involved
in
and
I
know
that
that
you
have
been
looking
at
this
and
have
taken
it
very
seriously,
but
I
guess
I
just
want
to
be
on
record
as
saying
that
you
know.
In
the
end,
we
have
got
to
find
a
solution.
It
is
not
it
to
have
Clarence
streets
shut
down
would
would
seriously
harm
people
in
the
community,
so
I'll
just
put
that
on
just
for
the
record
and
and
to
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
you've
been
doing.
A
Right,
yeah
just
to
follow
up
on
counselor
eight
or
cherry
glice
comments.
We
also
spoke
with
the
provincial
minister
and
we
had
a
meeting
with
the
Federal
Minister
and
the
Federal
Minister
was
looking
at
the
possibility
of
bridge
financing
in
the
interim,
and
we
heard
from
the
provincial
minister
the
possibility
if
there
are
capacity
issues
which
there
will
be
because
we
close
down
one,
it
makes
the
others
busier.
A
A
So
we
know
that
the
Shepherd's
just
in
the
same
vicinity
as
already
overcrowded,
because
they're
using
really
a
trailer
I
know
they
have
plans
to
change
that,
but
we
certainly
reached
at
the
the
political
level,
the
two
people
that
can
help
us
and
will
continue
to
pursue
that
and
we
hope
to
hear
some
news
from
the
Federal
Minister
on
the
bridge
financing
at
some
point
in
the
next
few
weeks.
So,
thank
you
counselor
and
McKenney
councillor
leaper,
please
Thank.
B
You
Mara
now
was
the
the
update
that
I'm
looking
for
I
want
to
make
sure
that
and
I
miss
Mary
I.
Do
thank
you
for
making
similarly
strong
comments
to
those
made
by
merit
Ori
and
awake
of
the
cuts
to
the
safer
injection
sites.
Let's
keep
bar
our
foot
on
the
gas
to
ensure
that
that
funding
continues,
but
that
is
the
update.
I
was
looking
for
thanks.
O
I
had
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
the
health
public
health
when
they
met
and
I
wanted
to
emphasize
the
leadership
of
the
chair.
Mr.
Li
and
dr.
h's.
We
are
going
through
a
transition
period.
We
recognize
the
importance
of
these
services
for
the
community
in
terms
of
prevention,
and
it's
a
reminder
that
the
role
their
role
and
responsibilities
have
impacts
in
the
community
and,
with
today's
motion,
I'm
sure
that
it
will
be
unanimously
approve.
O
It
will
give
the
power
to
both
of
you
to
demand
from
the
province
to
to
provide
for
this
Center
there,
as
well
as
in
other
supervised
centers
like
this,
so
you'll,
be
well
armed
to
go
to
push
Queens
Park
and
raise
awareness
to
the
importance
of
prevention
that
could
save
them.
A
lot
of
expenses
in
health
care.
G
O
A
G
G
C
Mr.
Baer,
through
you
to
the
counselor,
yet
it
could
be
aspects
of
all
it's
it's
early
stages,
but
certainly
the
movie
aspects
of
compliance
because,
as
counsel
knows,
has
been
discussed
here
at
Council,
there
was
a
significant
delegation
of
authority
given
to
staff
over
this
process,
so
certainly
will
be
looking
to
ensure
that
the
delegation
was
complied
with.
We'll
certainly
look
at
a
process
which
could
identify
areas
of
for
efficiency
and
including
areas
of
additional
reporting
and
future.
C
G
C
Mr.
chair,
through
to
the
counselor
interesting
a
question,
I
would
imagine
that
aspects
of
that
would
probably
be
better
addressed
to
the
city
solicitor,
but,
as
I
indicated
once
we
once
we've
conducted
our
detailed
risk
analysis
of
the
area
that
we're
going
to
be
auditing,
we'll
certainly
consider
aspects
of
that
and
obviously
spend
some
time
with
the
city
solicitor
as
well.
You.
C
C
Q
C
Mr.
mayor,
through
you
to
the
council,
I
think
certainly
an
audit
committee.
We
made
it
very
clear
that
by
law
through
the
Municipal
Act
and
by
our
own
bylaw,
we
have
access
to
every
piece
of
information
that
the
the
city
produces.
We
can
speak
to
any
individual
that
participated
in
in
the
project
and.
C
Q
That's
very
very
helpful,
thank
you,
and
will
you
be
able
to
detail
how
discretion
through
delegated
authority
may
have
been
used
in
the
scenario?
I
think
it's
similar
to
concert,
rallies
question
on
scope
and
process.
Will
you
be
able
to
detail
that
for
for
counsel
in
the
public?
How
that
may
have
been
used
in
this?
In
this
scenario.
C
Mr.
merry
I
made
it
clear
a
lot
of
committee
when
we,
when
I
talked
about
the
of
the
logic
for
adding
the
the
procurement
process
for
LR
phase.
Two
to
our
annual
work
plan
that
well,
we
will
be
able
to
look
at
everything
and-
and
we
will
ask
everyone
who
participated
any
question
that
we
deem
important.
C
Some
of
some
of
the
information
might
be
time
sensitive,
in
which
case
there
might
be
some
information
that
we
could
share,
because
it's
after
the
procurement,
but
we
will-
we
are
still
governed
by
the
my
legal
opinions
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
won't
seek
additional
legal
opinions,
but
if
there
is
information
that
that
would
exposed
the
city
to
potential
liability,
if
that
information
were
disclosed,
we
would
we
would
still
have
to
consider
that
and
what
we,
what
we
share
in
our
final
report.
Okay,.
C
I
Mr.
mayor,
yes,
the
all
the
agreements
down
the
to
compulsive
procurement
process
were
signed,
so
we
are
basically
just
finalized
in
the
closing
process,
but
we're
locked
in
now
and
and
the
contracts
have
been
awarded
and
as
we
had
advised
Council
before,
that,
we
need
several
weeks
down
to
do
the
reduction
and
and
look
through
the
documents
to
ensure,
as
the
other
general
said,
there's
some
aspects
which
may
be
commercially
confidential.
But
we
as
past
practice
will
be
posting.
Those
agreements
on
the
website
for
everybody
to
see.
H
C
C
H
C
A
A
N
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I,
I
just
the
direction
that
the
council
was
giving
staff
was
specific
to
certain
alternative
energies.
I
would
like
to
just
leave
it
as
a
general
term,
because
in
my
zone
we
have
trucks
that
are
running
on
natural
gas
that
are
certainly
much
better
for
the
environment,
brand-new
trucks
and
I
know
very
popular
in
the
area,
and
they
seem
to
be
able
to
do
the
job
fine.
So
if
the
councillor
is
okay
with
an
amendment
just
to
say,
alternative
energies,
and/or
fuels
and
I'd
be
very
happy
to
support.
M
Maybe
I
could
just
clarify
for
the
counselor
and
then
make
that
decision,
so
I'm
not
asking
just
for
electric
or
biogas
I'm
just
asking
for
that
consideration
through
the
procurement
process,
so
that
would
include
all
types
of
vehicles,
including
natural
gas,
including
what
we're
using
today.
So
all
I
want
to
make
sure
is
this.
Is
that
and
maybe
I
could
defer
to
staff,
then,
is
that
when
we,
when
we
procure
our
new
garbage
trucks,
that
all
alternatives
will
be
methods
will
be
used
in
the
procurement
process?
I
just
don't
want
to.
M
You
know,
I
think
we
left
it
at
committee
that
you
know
staff
we're
looking
and
we
you
know
they
just
hadn't
come
up.
You
know
come
to
an
agreement
on
a
good
alternative,
but
I
think
that
they're
out
there
and
I
think
that
if
we
just
use
that
lens
in
our
procurement
process
that
we
may
or
may
not
get
an
electric
vehicle
that
could
that
could
you
know,
crush
the
garbage
and
that
could
travel
the
amount
of
mileage
that
we
need.
M
A
Q
M
A
K
D
Mr.
mayor,
the
sustainable
purchasing
guidelines
recommends
that
staff
look
at,
among
other
things,
a
total
cost
of
ownership,
which
would
include
more
than
just
the
initial
purchase
price,
but
the
acquisition,
operation,
maintenance
and
disposal
of
the
asset
and
so
part
of
this
process.
We
would
work
with
fleet
services
to
evaluate
the
operational
requirements
and
how
to
take
that
into
consideration
in
arriving
at
a
procurement
decision.
H
D
A
B
You
mr.
mayor,
just
a
general
question
to
our
procurement
and
our
staff
like
in
our
regular
day-to-day
practice
and
when
we're
looking
into
procurement
or
any
technology,
are
you
telling
me
that
you
guys
not
keeping
up
to
date
and
looking
into
the
market
to
see
if
we
are
how
we
run
insufficient
and
efficient
and
you're?
Looking
about
all
the
technology
throughout
your
practice
or
your
operation?
And
during
the
year.
D
D
B
You
just
it
raised
a
concern
to
me
if
you
need
a
direction
from
his
counselor
at
sitting
at
the
3:00
table
at
2019,
to
tell
you
to
look
on
those
efficiency,
I
thought
in
the
last
15
years,
the
city's
being
always
actively
looking
into
technology,
to
making
sure
we're
very
being
very
friendly
to
the
environment,
Thank
You
mr.
chair.
R
Thank
you,
your
worship
and
good
morning.
Everyone
might.
My
question
really
is
to
staff
regarding
item
eight
of
this
motion
item
eight
talks
about
working
with
senior
levels
of
government
to
accelerate
ambition
and
action
to
meet
the
urgency
of
climate
change
and
to
provide
additional
resources,
Principality
x'
and
the
public
to
reduce
their
GHG
emissions
and
build
resiliency.
R
But
my
question
to
staff
is
assuming
this
passes
today.
What
do
you
do
with
item
8?
It's
very
open.
It
doesn't
identify
any
issue
for
you
to
specifically
dress.
Do
you
plan
on
coming
back
to
committee
to
engage
the
Committee
on
some
issues?
You
think
we
need
to
focus
on
or
what
is
the
plan
at
this
time
so.
S
Mr.
mayor,
to
respond
to
the
councillors
question
as
part
of
the
energy
evolution
phase
to
report,
which
will
come
later
this
year,
we
are
going
to
recommend
to
council
the
areas
of
action
that
the
municipality
and
senior
levels
of
government
could
take
to
accomplish
our
reduction
to
meet
our
targets.
So
we're
gonna
recommend
them.
R
S
K
You
similar
question
and
it's
an
important
one,
because
it's
what
I've
been
hearing
from
residents
in
my
ward
and
and
as
I
run
into
people
around
the
city
and
the
question
is
about
money
calling
this
an
emergency.
What
does
it
do
to
a
priority
for
all
of
the
things
that
we
value?
We
weigh
in
the
city
as
far
as
how
money
is
spent.
Does
it
immediately
mean
that,
if
there's
a
deemed
emergency
on
in
this
area
that
we
are
going
to
funnel
money
there,
perhaps
at
a
budget
sequence
prioritize
it
over
roads?
K
For
example,
cycling
lanes,
mops,
all
the
other
things
that
we
do.
Some
people
may
say
that
those
things
are
you
know
the
are
required
because
of
the
climate
but
I'm.
Those
are
questions
I'm
being
asked.
I
would
not
want
to
support
something
that
advantages
this
over
and
above
everything
else,
because
too
many
people
in
the
city
there
things
that
are
of
great
importance
that
we
already
aren't
be
able
to
find
it
so
I,
don't
know
who
best
to
answer
that
question
told
me
perhaps
four.
F
S
S
Mr.
mayor
for
the
motion
for
the
councilors
report,
the
additional
resources
that
are
being
asked
for
are
to
do
two
things.
One
is
to
accelerate
the
energy
evolution
project
we
already
have
to
report
earlier
than
we
would
have
otherwise
reported
and
also
do
the
technical
analysis
to
reach
the
deeper
greenhouse
gas
reduction
goals
other
than
what
council
had
previously
said.
So
that's
what
the
additional
resources
are.
S
There
are
no
additional
resource
requirements
at
this
time
being
asked
and
when
we
bring
the
EEE
phase
2
report
to
you,
that's
when
we
be
mapping
out
over
the
next
couple
of
years
where
investments
could
be
made.
So
I
think
that
the
councillors
question
is
best
responded
to
when
we
hit
that
second
report
on
energy
evolution
phase
two
so.
K
We'll
see
that
through
budget
processes,
for
example,
you
know
come
June
or
July
when
we're
talking
about
budget
for
next
year,
probably
would
have
a
focus
there
and
also
you
know
mr.
Wylie,
with
the
waste
management
review
that
we're
doing
the
Folsom
review
there.
I
think
is:
that's
that's
low-hanging
fruit
for
us
when
it
comes
to
climate
protection,
that'll
be
part
of
that
as
well.
H
S
So,
mr.
mayor,
there
are
two
parts
that,
in
terms
of
a
city
response
in
this
situation,
one
is
the
mitigation
measures
we
would
undertake,
both
in
terms
of
reducing
our
corporate
emissions
and
trying
to
encourage
reductions
in
the
community
in
terms
of
emissions.
The
other
half
is
the
resiliency
plan,
which
is
part
of
embedded
in
this
motion.
S
It's
also
part
of
our
work
plan
for
this
year
and
resiliency
planning
means
trying
to
harden
our
infrastructure
for
the
the
hardened
doesn't
always
isn't
always
the
right
word,
because
sometimes
it's
softening,
but
it's
adapting
our
infrastructure
to
meet
different
climatic
conditions
over
time.
So
we
are,
as
part
of
this
undertaking
the
the
resiliency
planning
as
well.
So
I
trusted
answers
to
quite
the
question.
Yes,.
G
Okay
and
then
just
some
comments,
I
understand
the
importance
of
the
majority
of
the
motion,
but
the
use
of
the
word
emergency
I
think
is
misplaced.
It's
urgent
and
important,
but
not
necessarily
an
emergency.
There
won't
be
sirens
going
off
we're
not
moving
climate
change
to
the
emergency
services
department
and
we're
not
abrogating
the
powers
of
council
to
deal
with
these
issues.
So
it's
it
falls
outside
a
typical
emergency
and
I.
Don't
see
the
need
for
doing
that.
G
Secondly,
I
think
by
applying
the
word
emergency,
we
open
floodgates
to
other
very
important
things,
demanding
a
state
of
emergency
or
a
declaration
of
emergency.
At
the
same
time,
so
you'll
have
people
demanding
emergency,
be
declared
for
guns
and
gangs.
You
have
people
demanding
an
emergency,
be
declared
for
homelessness,
and
even
financial
and
Road
emergencies.
You'll
have
all
sorts
of
people
pointing
to
very
important
things
asking
us
to
declare
an
emergency,
because
they're
very
important
and
I
wouldn't
want
to
end
up
there.
G
A
D
Mr.
mayor,
with
regards
to
your
role
under
the
emergency
management,
Civil
Protection
Act,
which
I
think
a
number
of
councillors
alluded
to
either
inadvertently
or
directly,
you
have
the
authority
to,
and
you
have
the
discretion
under
the
statute
to
declare
that
an
emergency
exists
in
the
municipality
or
any
part
thereof,
and
may
take
such
action
and
make
such
orders
as
you
consider
necessary
and
are
not
contrary
to
law,
to
implement
the
city's
emergency
plan
and
to
protect
property
and
health
and
safety
and
the
welfare
the
inhabitants
in
the
emergency
area.
D
You
also
have
the
responsibility,
if
you
do
so,
to
contact
the
Solicitor
General
of
the
province
of
Ontario
and,
ironically,
you
as
the
mayor
and
the
council
may
at
some
point
in
time
in
the
future,
declare
that
an
emergency
has
been
terminated
under
that
legislation.
That
is
not
what
the
motion
is
before
you
from
the
committee,
so
it
is
not
under
the
emergency
measures,
act
that
or
the
emergency
management
Civil
Protection
Act.
That
council
would
be
acting.
So
there
is
no
triggering
of
our
emergency
plan,
no
automatic
spending
of
money.
D
B
S
Mr.
mayor
I'm,
sorry
I,
don't
think
stuff
can
actually
answer
that
question
ever
me.
I
would
imagine
in
the
city
clerk
can
correct
me.
The
Standing
Committee
on
Environment
etcetera,
has
carriage
of
this
file
through
his
mandate.
Someone
would
imagine
it
would
report
back
there
if
that's
what
councilor,
Menards
intent
was.
Ok.
B
S
B
I
think
that's
very
good
to
know,
and
when
it
comes
to
the
the
legacies
of
prior
prior
environment
committees,
I,
look
at
2010
to
14
and
Maria
McCray
did
a
tremendous
job,
very
progressive
I
think
our
council
went
well
and
beyond
when
it
came
to
look.
Maria
worked
very
hard
on
that
file
about
getting
one
three
seven
plastics
into
that
bucket
to
make
it
easier
on
people.
One
of
the
toughest
votes
this
council
has
ever
dealt
with
was
going
to
bi-weekly,
garbage
pickup
and-
and
she
was
a
big
proponent
of
getting
us
into
that
place.
B
You
look
at
David
Chernenko,
taking
the
reigns
and
having
a
legacy
with
really
advancing
the
energy
evolution
voting
and
supporting
LRT
the
biggest
Eliminator
of
GHG
gases.
So
I
think
we
already
have
a
great
track
record
of
going
ahead
with
a
lot
of
these
projects
that
help
our
municipality
LED
lighting
big
push
we're
at
the
50%
mark.
So
when
I
see
things
like
this
happening
in
the
past,
I
know
we
can
continue
to
do
this
in
the
future.
I
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
about.
B
How
can
we
put
some
of
these
things
into
the
pipe
that
we
see
is
important?
I
brought
up,
for
example,
the
solar-powered
big-bellied
garbage
cans,
Al
and
I
have
talked
about
this
before,
where
it
sends
a
signal
back
to
home
base.
You
don't
have
to
have
garbage
trucks
racing
around
the
neighborhood
on
a
regular
basis.
It
would
only
go
pick
up
the
can
when
it's
full,
where
do
we
fit?
Would
this
be
this
kind
of
working
group?
We
had
funnel
those
kind
of
ideas
into.
S
Mr.
Meredith
certainly
welcome
any
councillor
at
any
time
who
has
ideas.
They'd
like
us
to
explore,
welcome
to
send
those
to
me
directly
and
I'll,
provide
them
to
the
team,
the
energy
evolution
phase.
Two
project
is
looking
at
all
of
the
major
sources
of
emissions
and
what
the
best
strategies
are
to
reduce
those
numbers
so
we're
work.
We
will
be
bringing
a
menu
of
options
back
to
Council,
okay,.
B
Great
and
I
think
there
is
a
story
in
today's
paper
and
I've
talked
about
this
before,
but
the
line
markings
on
the
road.
Of
course,
you
know,
we
think
we're
doing
a
great
thing,
we're
sure
some
of
it's
a
federal
aspect
where
they
say
we
can't
use
certain
kinds
of
paints
anymore,
but
other
municipalities
have
struggled
with
this
as
well.
So
now
we
have
double
the
amount
of
vehicles
driving
around
where
it's
going
to
cost
us
more
money,
all
that
great
stuff.
But
you
look
at
other
municipalities
and
just
a
quick
google
bc.
B
P
Know,
thank
you.
No
I,
I'm
I'm,
very
glad
that
we're
having
this
conversation
I
think
that
this
is
a
you
know,
something
that
that
is
absolutely
essential,
because
climate
change,
our
environment,
has
something
to
do
with
everything
that
we
do.
Every
decision
that
we're
making
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
gray
areas
and
respect
to
that,
like
counts,
are
harder
had
mentioned.
You
know,
where's
the
priorities
in
terms
of.
Is
there
a
road
or
some
excuse,
but
it's
I
think
this
conversation.
P
On
top
of
some
other
aspects
of
this
motion
that
are
very
progressive-
and
you
know
forward
thinking
and
I'm,
just
not
quite
clear
as
to
how
staff,
or
even
the
mover
sees
that
this
will
complement
the
rest
of
the
motion.
So
I
would
like
I'm
seeking
some
clarity
on
that
I'm.
Also
seeking
clarity
on
how
we
determine
who
gets
to
sit
on
this
sponsors
group.
So
if
I
can
maybe
seek
that.
D
You,
mr.
mayor,
yes,
with
regards
to
recommendation
number
two
in
the
report,
what
we've
recommended
is
my
office
will
work
with
mr.
Willis
and
his
staff
and
then
to
a
circulation
of
members
who
are
on
the
various
committees
listed
in
this
recommendation
to
talk
about
their
interest
with
a
view
to
bringing
a
motion
to
council
prior
to
I.
Believe
it's
the
end
of
May,
so
May
June
to
confirm
the
sponsors,
groups,
membership
and
I.
Think
at
that
point
in
time.
D
P
That's
great
to
know:
I
guess
once
again:
what
weight
would
this
group
have?
How
would
it
actually
influence
decision
making
I
know
counselor
tyranny
at
Asus,
but
I'm
still
not
quite
clear,
because
once
again,
I'm
looking
up
of
the
I'm
looking
at
the
makeup
of
this,
this
group
and
it
represents
fedko
quite
quite
closely.
Obviously
the
the
nuance
of
the
discussion
would
differ,
but
I'm
just
wondering
how
this
group
would
come
to
discussions.
What's
at
the
top
of
a
conversation.
Q
Yeah
thanks
very
much
for
the
question.
It's
a
good
one.
The
the
intent
is
not
that
it
be
a
repetition
of
fedko.
Certainly
not
the
actual
motion
isn't
the
chairs
of
those
committees.
It
is
representatives
from
each
committee,
so
it
won't
necessarily
be
the
chair
of
planning
or
the
chair
of
other
committees,
its
representatives
from
each
one,
I
think
when
we
were
discussing
this
as
as
a
part
of
the
motion,
it
came
up
that
it's
difficult
for
us
to
have
these
sort
of
fulsome
conversations
in
a
smaller
group
that
brings
ideas
for
like
councillor.
Q
Tierney
was
talking
about.
We
have
a
lot
of
these
ideas,
but
without
having
the
forum
to
discuss
them
in
a
sort
of
informal
way
and
that's
what
this
provides.
It
provides
a
representative
on
many
committees
that
will
allow
for
us
to
embed
that
lens
further
in
our
decisions,
but
also
to
debate
ideas
and
discuss
ideas
that
would
come
back
to
the
Standing
Committee
on
environment.
Q
P
Thank
you
for
the
clarification
you
know.
I'm
gonna,
be
supporting
this
motion.
I
think
that
it's
it's
definitely
very
important
that
we
start
looking
at
climate
change
in
our
environment
in
all
things
that
we
do.
I
would
like
to
point
out,
however,
that
we
also
once
again
I'm
going
back
to
the
fact
that
there
is
a
gray
area
on
everything.
I
can't
run
a
bus
through
a
field.
We
may
need
to
build
some
new
roads
to
make
sure
that
we
can
accommodate
that.
P
We
have
to
look
at
the
give
and
take
on
everything
and,
what's
the
benefit
to
our
residents
in
terms
of
you
know,
creating
it
a
sustainable
City,
a
sustainable
future,
while
also
serving
our
growing
city's
needs.
So
you
know,
I
am
in
favor
of
this
motion.
I
will
be
supporting
it.
I
want
to
thank
I,
want
to
thank
councilman
R
for
Queen
and
forward
and
and
everyone
who's
worked
on
it,
but
I
do
have
reservations
about
that.
One
aspect
thank.
O
I'd
like
to
congratulate
my
colleague
for
making
the
effort
and
going
through
mechanism
to
raise
this
discussion
and
I
agree
with
my
colleague
Laura
who
said
that
the
time
is
right,
because
we
will
be
reviewing
our
official
plan,
the
transportation
plan
and
all
the
initiatives
we
put
forward
with
the
light
rail
there's
a
ideal
time
to
review
those
structures.
There
are
two
things
I
believe
to
be
important
in
this
motion.
Of
course
everybody
has
its
own
perception
on
that.
But
for
me
there
are
two:
a
resiliency.
O
Summary
from
the
city
manager
regarding
the
floods
last
year,
it
was
tornadoes
and
there
are
people
in
the
community
that
are
more
vulnerable
than
others.
When
such
situations
occur,
we
have
the
seniors
people
on
low
income,
so
having
a
better
resilience
for
the
city
is
important.
We
saw
it
last
year
with
the
social
groups
that
were
involved
after
the
tornadoes
to
feed
people
to
meet
their
needs.
D
O
Have
an
environment
committee
and
a
council
gave
a
clear
message
about
the
climate
change
and
the
environmental
impact.
All
this
must
be
done
horizontally
throughout
the
organization.
It
can't
be
just
the
people
responsible
for
in
the
environment
that
manage
all
the
environmental
issues.
This
planning
is
concerned.
Transit
is
concerned,
Public,
Works,
recreation,
social
services
finance.
O
Q
You
mr.
mayor
I
have
a
quick
comment
and
then
a
question
for
staff
I
wanted
to
thank
councillor
Menard
and
councillor
Moffitt
for
their
leadership
on
this
issue,
as
well
as
ecology,
Ottawa,
who
have
been
advocating
well
continued
advocacy,
not
just
in
terms
of
this
motion.
I
think
this
is
an
important
motion
and
I
think,
because
it
is
about
leadership.
We
are
not
just
another
city
declaring
climate
change
as
something
that's
important.
We
are
Canada's
capital
city.
There
are
other
cities
in
our
province
in
our
country
and
around
the
world.
Q
Who
will
look
to
us
and
I?
Think
it's
important
that
we
send
a
very
clear
message
and
I
know
what
residents
are
watching
if
I
can
share
last
Tuesday
that
the
environment,
waste
and
water
committee?
My
daughter
was
texting
me
because
her
school
class
in
grade
8
was
paying
attention
to
this.
They
wanted
to
know
what
was
what
was
the
committee's
decision.
Q
Unfortunately,
you
guys
left
it
to
the
last
item
and
they
never
found
out
till
the
next
day,
but
and
in
councillor
Menard,
there's
a
few
kids
of
my
daughter's
class
who
want
to
meet
you.
So
if
you're
up
for
it
out
of
Goulburn
middle
school
I,
believe
this
city's
play,
cities
are
the
economic
and
social
engines
in
our
world
today
and
I.
Q
Think
most
people
are
on
that
table
would
agree
with
that
and
as
such,
we
have
to
be
leaders
and
I
think
the
motion
sends
a
very
clear
message
to
staff
to
other
levels
of
government
and
to
our
residents
that
this
is
something
we
need
to
act
on
and
it's
something
that's
a
priority
and
important
for
council.
The
quick
questions
staff
would
be
we're
in
the
review
of
the
Official
Plan
process,
so
I
guess
mr.
Willis,
how
do
things
like
the
energy
evolution
final
report,
the
climate
change
management
plan?
S
A
mr.
mayor,
the
the
team
working
on
energy
evolution
is
contributing
directly
into
the
Official
Plan
process
and
fat
effect.
As
a
result
of
the
way
we
restructured
the
group
last
year,
they're
all
part
of
the
same
branch,
so
they
work
side
by
side,
they're
having
direct
involvement,
and
we
are
looking
at
some
of
the
climate
lens
approaches
in
order
to
assess
the
implications
of
our
recommendations
in
the
Official
Plan.
So.
S
T
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
I
to
welcome
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
this
motion,
I'm
glad
to
see
that
we
are
taking
climate
change
seriously
here.
But
the
word
emergency
scares
me
a
little
bit
because
I'm
not
sure
exactly
how
this
is
going
to
be
interpreted.
I
understand
how
the
decisions
are
going
to
be
made,
but
I'm
concerned
about
the
cost
of
what
this
is
going
to
mean
to
the
city.
T
I
just
want
to
tell
you
some
of
the
things
that
I've
noticed
things
that
I
think
that
are
essential
to
addressing
climate
change,
things
that
we
can
do
in
all
the
decisions
that
we
make
right
now
and
they
don't
seem
to
be
made
just,
for
instance,
I
think
it
was
2014.
We
adopted
a
building
better
suburbs
plan
in
Ottawa.
It's
supposed
to
be
a
template
for
city
planners
and
developers
to
devise
and
design
neighborhoods
that
are
more
environmentally
friendly.
But
in
my
estimation
we
haven't
done
that.
T
What
we're
doing
right
now
is
we're
building
suburbs
without
adequate
transit
so
and
we
don't
have
the
roads
to
carry
the
cars
so
and
but
that
always
comes
down
to
an
issue
of
money.
So
what
we've
got
is
we're
building
up
congestion
out
of
in
the
suburbs
people
have
to
get
into
town,
so
they're
sitting
in
traffic.
You
know
hours
long
traffic
and
I'm
a
told
that
we
can't
solve
this
issue
because
it
comes
down
to
money
such
things.
T
As
do
we
build
our
schools
and
in
areas
where
they
kids
can
safely
get
to
school
on
foot
or
by
bicycle?
No,
we
don't.
These
are
issues
that
we're
solving
in
our
Ward's
right
now.
Parents
feel
that
they
have
to
drive
their
kids
to
school.
This
doesn't
make
any
sense
to
me.
Are
we
building
our
suburbs
with
the
shopping,
centers
and
stores
in
the
area
where
people
can
walk
to?
No
we're,
not
we're
asking
people
to
drive,
but
we
don't
have
the
transit.
T
Yet
so
these
are
all
things:
I
call
them
my
bugaboos
I'm
trying
to
to
you
know
to
talk
to
developers
and
make
sure
that
they
build
lots
were
that
are
big
enough
to
sustain
a
tree
till
maturity.
These
are
all
things
that
affect
climate
change
and
we're
always
up
against
it.
It
seems
even
when
it
comes
to
fixing
our
roads,
we
have
we're
known
for
potholes.
We
I
don't
have
the
money
to
fix
our
pop
potholes
properly
and
studies
show
and
I've
got
a
study
here
to
show
you
his
name
is
hole.
T
Wang
he's
a
civil
and
environmental
engineer
with
Rutgers
University.
He
has
determined
that
if
we
fixed
our
potholes
in
this
city
that
which
means
that
so
we
don't
wreck
our
vehicles,
we
will
actually
cut
down
on
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
two
percent.
But
we
don't
do
these
simple
basic
things.
It
always
comes
down
to
money.
If
we
can't
do
these
basic
things
that
make
common
sense,
how
are
we
going
to
put
the
lens
on
other
things
that
could
actually
add
to
bureaucracy
and
cost
us
more
money
in
the
long
run?
T
You
know
we
find
it
difficult
to
talk
about
building
a
road
and
Laura
I
agree.
You
can't
put
a
you
know
bust
through
a
field.
We
need
to
talk
about
adding
bus
lanes
more
rapid
bus
lanes.
Lrt
is
going
to
be
a
game-changer
in
the
city,
but
it's
not
going
to
be
the
answer
for
everyone.
We
need
a
concerted
effort
to
put
in
more
busing
to
embrace
technology
like
lyft
and
uber,
to
be
collectors
of
cars
and
residents
from
residential
neighborhoods
to
deposit
people,
to
transit
stations
to
the
LRT.
T
Money
is
a
driver
in
this
city
until
we
solve
the
issues
that
are
preventing
us
from
doing
the
commonplace,
easy
things
like
better
transit,
more
serious
transit
and
putting
in
roads
that-
and
you
know,
building
our
subdivisions
so
that
we
don't
put
tens
of
thousands
of
more
cars
out
there
and
having
people
Park
on
their
lawns
and
set
a
planning
a
tree.
Then
I'm
frustrated
with
this
I
I'm.
All
for
you
know
making
sure
that
we
have
a
better
climate.
We
have
to
do
what
we
can,
but
gall
darn.
T
K
K
People
worry
about
spending
money,
but
it's
a
to
me
I,
always
think
of
it
in
terms
of
saving
money,
because
all
the
things
worth
looking
at
are
eventually
about
making
this
a
better
city,
more
efficient,
with
LRT
having
less
garbage
because
we're
you
know
we're
getting
rid
of
all
those
plastics
all
those
things
we
need
to
do
those
now
it's
it's
it's
something
that
I
see
as
a
here
and
now
thing.
I
just
have
to
make
a
comment
about
from
my
colleague
mr.
K
Sher
Ali
here,
councillor
Cirelli,
he
talked
about
opening
floodgates
and
I
thought
that
was
very
apropos
for
BAE
Ward,
because
we
need
to
keep
those
floodgates
closed
at
the
moment.
If
we're
a
little
worried
about
them.
So
I
think
that
just
very
apropos
about
the
situation
we're
in
because
that's
part
of
climate
change,
the
water
is
rising.
Why
is
it
rising?
That's
part
of
what
we're
looking
at.
What
are
we
doing
here
today?
We're
we're
doing
something
for
the
next
generation.
K
We
made
a
mess
of
things
we
as
the
the
generation
before
this
is
about
the
future
for
our
kids
and
our
children
and
our
grandchildren.
I
have
a
guest
here
today,
Imogene
little
who's,
a
grade,
7
student
at
D,
Roy,
Kennedy
and
I
asked
her
what
she
thought
of
in
terms
of
working
on
issues
of
pollution
and
climate
change,
and
she
says
she
was
concerned
about
animals
she's
concerned
about
animals
dying.
K
So
I
hope
that
we
have
a
mechanism
that
shows
the
schools
that
we're
we're
working
on
issues
because
I
think
that's
important
to
them.
They're
the
ones
we're
doing
this
for
because,
while
we're
cleaning
up
our
mess
so
we're
trying
to
tidy
it
up
before
we
hand
it
over
to
them,
so
I
hope
that
we
can
have
that
opportunity.
Is
there
a
way
we
can
report
to
schools,
and
you
know,
have
things
that
are
available
to
them.
Thank
you.
Q
Very
much
mr.
mayor
just
quickly
really
appreciate
the
support
around
the
table
and
the
ideas
that
are
coming
coming
out
from
folks.
I
think
this
is
very
much
a
start
for
us
with
this.
With
this
motion,
it's
not
the
end,
they'll
be
more
actions
that
will
come
and
obviously
some
of
the
good
work
the
city
of
auto
has
already
been
doing
like
changing
over
the
led
and
that
sort
of
investment
that
saves
us
money
as
well
as
reduces
our
emissions.
It's
the
young
people
in
the
city
that
are
actually
leading
this
effort.
Q
So
much
like
councillor
Gower,
had
mentioned.
I've
received
petitions
from
schools
and
people
to
my
front
door.
So
you
know:
penny
Adele
and
Madeleine.
Kane
came
to
my
front
door
and
gave
me
some
petitions
on
on
what
we
need
to
do
with
regard
to
climate
change,
so
I'll
be
submitting
those
to
the
clerk's
office
after
the
meeting
and
with
the
intent
that
they'll
come
to
the
next
council
meeting
on
that
agenda.
Q
Regarding
the
word
emergency,
you
know:
here's
how
here's,
how
we
define
it
in
the
City
of
Ottawa,
any
situation
that
constitutes
a
Jane
a
date,
a
danger
of
major
proportions
that
could
result
in
serious
harm
to
persons
or
substantial
damage
to
property
that
is
caused
by
natural,
technological
or
human
cause
hazards,
whether
intentional
or
otherwise.
So
this
motion
doesn't
create
an
emergency
management
plan.
It's
not
like
the
short-term
flooding
or
the
tornado.
That
would
come
through
or
not.
Q
Do
it's
not
that
it's
a
slower-moving
emergency
that
this
sets
out
a
plan
for
of
action
from
our
staff
over
time
and
and
they
want
to
be
doing
this
work.
Our
staff
want
to
be
doing
this
as
in
the
city
and
that's
why
I'm
so
excited
about
about
bringing
this
forward.
I
just
want
to
just
also
mention
that
the
sponsors
group,
this
is
needed
in
an
informal
setting
where
ideas
can
be
discussed,
and
let
me
give
you
the
intent.
I've
discussed
this
with
the
chair.
Q
You
know,
there's
low-hanging
fruit
in
the
city:
that's
gonna,
save
us
a
lot
of
money,
but
also
reduce
our
emissions.
Those
are
the
types
of
things
we
have
to
be
targeting
right
off
the
bat
things
like
retrofitting
your
buildings,
we're
doing
that
to
a
certain
extent,
but
we
can
do
a
lot
more
to
the
exterior
of
buildings,
just
like
your
homes.
So
these
are
the
types
of
ideas
that
will
give
us
some
savings
that
we
need
over
time,
but
also
reduce
our
emissions.
Q
J
You
just
a
few
brief
comments
and
I
actually
love
something
that
councillor
Minard
just
said,
which
is
that
young
people
are
leading
this
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
give
thought
to
that,
because
it's
the
young
people
that
are
inheriting
the
problems
that
we
are
all
responsible
for.
Creating
I
think
you
know,
I
recognize
that
we
have
many
competing
priorities
in
front
of
us
and
that
are
debated
at
this
table
and
the
financial
constraints
that
we
operate
in.
J
J
You
know
I.
When
I
made
the
decision
to
to
run
as
a
councillor,
it
was
about
providing
leadership
and
I.
Think
that's
what
we're
all
discussing
here
today
is
being
a
leader
in
this
space
and
demonstrating
our
commitment
to
our
future
generations.
So
again,
I
I
think
counts
from
an
art
and
and
Moffitt
for
their
work
and
encouraged
us
to
support
this
Thank.
E
You
thank
you,
your
worship.
According
to
scientists,
we
know
that
Canada's
climate
is
changing
faster
than
the
rest
of
the
world
and
that
we
only
have
10
years
to
change
course.
That's
why
I
wholeheartedly
endorse
this
motion
to
declare
a
climate
emergency?
Well,
we
know
we
are
in
crisis.
We
haven't
responded
to
the
impending
environmental
disaster
that
lays
before
us.
This
is
why
the
city
urgently
needs
a
set
of
specific,
proactive
policies,
because
chaos
and
uncertainty
are
increasingly
becoming
the
new
norms.
E
Normal
patterns
of
rail,
of
rainfall,
temperature
and
extreme
weather
are
changing
so
rapidly
that
past
baselines
are
no
longer
relevant.
Governments
and
insurers
have
acknowledged
this
challenge,
along
with
the
fact
that
climate
change
will
cost
of
billions
of
dollars.
Climate
change,
in
short,
is
the
most
significant
challenge
of
our
time
and
requires
immediate
action.
E
Starting
last
weekend,
our
region
experienced
and
continues
to
experience
severe
flooding.
We
can
expect
such
events
to
become
more
frequent
along
with
longer
heat
waves
in
summer
and
more
freeze
thaw
cycles
in
winter.
Such
events
will
impact
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
society
from
our
poorest
residents,
who
will
experience
food
insecurity
to
our
newest
residents,
such
as
refugees,
some
of
whom
have
been
displaced
by
the
climate
crisis
and
who
will
require
more
affordable
housing
in
our
city.
E
This
most,
the
most
responsible
course
of
action
our
city
can
take,
is
to
put
in
place
a
serious
set
of
actions
to
address
the
causes
and
mitigate
the
consequences
of
climate
change.
A
declaration
of
a
climate
emergency
by
Council
will
act
to
recognize
climate
change
as
a
priority
in
the
city's
strategic
plan
and
will
provide
accompanying
budget
directions
for
the
remain
remainder
of
the
term.
It
will
also
provide
measurable
criteria
to
determine
whether
progress
is
being
made
in
the
city's
efforts.
E
Most
importantly,
the
declaration
will
clearly
acknowledge
the
guiding
principle
in
the
city's
air
quality
and
climate
change
management
plan.
That
municipal
leadership
is
needed
to
ensure
an
integrated
and
comprehensive
approach
that
can
be
implemented
by
both
city
government
and
the
community,
which
actually
achieves
results
with
many
other
municipalities
throughout
Canada,
recognizing
that
we
are
in
a
state
of
climate
crisis.
It
is
incumbent
upon
us
here
to
act
in
Ottawa.
That's
why
I
will
be
voting
in
favor
of
this
motion
and
encourage
my
colleagues
to
do
the
same.
Thank
you
thank.
A
You
very
much
councillor
okay,
so
what
does
anyone
else
wish
to
speak
to
the
item?
Let
me
offer
a
couple
of
comments.
First,
thank
you
very
much
councillor
Menard
for
using
the
council
report
mechanism
to
get
this
issue
before
the
committee
and
the
work
that
you've
done
leading
up
to
this.
It's
very
much
appreciated.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
chair
of
the
committee,
councillor
Moffat
and
who
I
know
helped
along
that
journey
and
process,
and
we
appreciate
his
leadership
as
well.
A
I
think
one
of
the
things
to
remember
colleagues
and
members
of
the
public
is
that
we
have
not
been
sitting
idly
by
over
the
last
couple
of
years
doing
nothing.
In
fact,
the
city
staff
have
put
together
nine
pages
of
initiatives
that
we
have
engaged
the
public
and
corporations
and
associations
with,
and
there
are
some
significant
initiatives
that
are
already
ongoing.
A
Many
of
them
are
included
in
the
report
that
is
before
us,
and
some
of
them
have
been
talked
about
already
today.
For
instance,
councillor
tyranny
referred
to
the
LED
lighting,
switch
is
going
to
save
us,
not
only
millions
of
dollars,
but
also
a
better
lighting
product
and
better
for
the
environment,
because
it
uses
less
energy.
Lrt
is
the
biggest
tool
in
our
toolbox
to
fight
climate
change,
and
it
will
save
I
believe
something
like
121
thousand
tons
of
greenhouse
gases.
A
When
a
phase
two
is
up
and
running,
we
have
a
policy
with
respect
to
new
buildings
to
have
LEED
certification.
There's
also
the
notion
that
$250,000
of
the
hydro
dividend
is
to
go
into
energy
saving
initiatives
and
I
would
very
much
encourage
council
when
that
those
decisions
have
to
be
made
at
full
council
or
at
fedko
that
we
put
a
considerable
amount
of
those
dollars
into
Ottawa
community
housing
which,
as
many
of
us
know
many
are
you
know,
living
in
buildings
that
are
50
60
years
old.
A
They
were
not
exactly
the
highest
quality
of
product
at
the
time.
Lots
of
leaky
windows,
appliances
that
are
energy,
hogs
and
I
think
they
could
use
an
enormous
amount
of
help.
For
the
you
know,
really
the
benefit
of
the
residents
to
live
in
a
better
environment,
but
also
better
economic
and
environmentally.
So
I
would
encourage
members
to
read
what
we've
done.
A
I
would
ask
the
city
manager
to
ensure
that
the
nine
pages
of
initiatives
is
translated
and
put
on
the
city's
website
and
shared
with
many
of
the
the
good
environmental
groups
that
came
forward
at
Environment
Committee,
because
I
think
sometimes
were
a
little
harsh
on
ourselves.
When
I
hear
that
we're
not
filling
potholes,
we
filled
240,000
when
I
hear
we're
not
spending
money
on
roads,
we're
spending
a
record
amount
on
roads.
Is
it
enough?
A
No
there's
an
insatiable
appetite
by
all
of
us
around
this
table,
members
of
the
public
to
do
more
and
more
and
more
and
yes,
it
is
about
money,
because
you
can't
do
a
lot
of
the
things
that
we're
proposing
without
money
and
that's
not
a
good
or
a
bad
thing.
It's
a
fact
of
reality
living
in
government
or
in
your
old
household
budget.
A
O
It's
a
good
opportunity
for
me
to
thank
councillor
Mina,
the
chair
in
the
chair
of
the
committee,
councillor
Moffat
and
all
members
of
the
Environment
Committee
and
the
environmental
group
that
were
here
for
the
committee
to
present
very
good
points.
During
the
committee
meeting
one
or
two
weeks
ago.
The
soup.
K
K
A
D
We're
gonna
go
separately
on
item
two
I.
Think
I
just
like
to
provide
some
clarity
on
what
it
is,
because
this
needs
to
be
a
misunderstanding
as
to
what
item
T
would
be
I.
Don't
understand
why
we
would
vote
on
a
sponsor's
group.
Did
we
didn't
hold
a
separate
vote
on
the
official
plan?
Sponsors
group
sponsors
groups
provide
oversight.
They
allow
counselors
to
get
involved.
D
E
K
H
T
A
R
Thank
you,
your
worship.
The
motion
before
us
is
basically
with
respect
to
the
year-end
report
that
the
planning
department
provides
us
there's
a
set
of
data
that
I
and
others
have
been
quite
interested
in
acquiring
over
the
years
and
only
until
recently,
staff
been
able
to
compile
it
and
make
it
available
in
a
future
report.
R
So
this
motion
basically
talks
about
amending
the
report
that
comes
before
the
Planning
Committee,
to
provide
data
with
respect
to
the
pre
consultations
that
are
held
the
number
that
actually
result
in
an
application
within
a
particular
canned
calendar
year
and
the
number
of
files
that
were
reviewed
by
the
you
DRP.
There
is
a
misconception
that
every
single
or
application
that
the
enters
the
front
door
actually
gets
approved
by
City
Council.
That's
not
true!
This
is
about
providing
data
in
that
report,
which
I
think
will
be
a
value.
So,
mr.
O
A
A
Thank
you
on
the
motion
carried
and
update,
MC
motions
requiring
suspension
of
the
rules
of
procedures.
Most
motion
limos,
you
example
shown
they
regulate
the
procedure.
The
first
item
is
councillor
little
off
and
do
DAF
road
closures
for
poutine
fast,
very
exciting.
Mr.
mayor
didn't,
didn't
you
just
a
second
emotional
and
health
and
fitness
and
you're
now
having
a
boot
in
fat.
I
just
want
to
point
that
out.
It's.
A
I
I
I
B
I
B
B
B
I
A
With
the
new
rules,
you
can
start
drinking
at
9:00
a.m.
in
a
park
near
you,
so
good
luck
with
that
so
free
drink
in
the
park.
Okay,
so
on
the
Putin
fest
motion
carried
on
the
craft
beer
fest
motion
carried
next
item
is
to
welcome
our
new
colleague
with
more
work
to
committees,
and
we
have
a
motion
by
count
deputy
mayor,
dude
ass
and
stand
by
definitely
marelul
off.
P
So
this
is
basically
a
motion
throwing
our
new
counselor
colleague
into
the
deep
end
quite
quickly
and
giving
him
absolutely
no
time
to
rest.
So
the,
whereas
is
speak
to
the
fact
that,
with
the
the
resignation
of
former
counselor
Toby
knows
foam,
there
was
a
number
of
vacancies
that
were
made
I'll
skip
down
to
the,
whereas
these
positions
remain
vacant.
B
You,
mayor
and
I'm
particularly
pleased
to
see
councillor
brockington
being
added
by
way
of
this
motion
to
planning
committee,
the
planning
committee
is
still
one
seat
short
of
its
full
capacity,
and
I
would
like
to
amend
the
motion
to
include
councillor
King
on
the
Planning
Committee.
In
addition,.
K
K
R
D
Mr.
mayor,
what
the
discussion
was
with
regards
to
being
on
planning
committee
was
during
governance.
We
had
amended
the
requirements
by
allowing
both
the
chair
was
correct,
the
chair
and
yourself
to
attend
at
those
meetings.
We
did
not
make
a
corresponding
amendment
to
my
recollection
with
regards
to
the
actual
number
on
the
committee.
So
technically
you
could
do
it,
but
I
would
caution,
because
the
chair
of
the
planning
committees,
correct
you're,
probably
going
to
be
up
to
the
12
or
13
mark.
D
A
I
don't
support
this
I.
Think
we've
heard
from
the
chair
of
the
planning
committee
we've
heard
from
the
clerk
that
it
brings
us
very
close
to
having
a
quorum
of
council,
which
is
not
permitted.
So
if
you
have
a
written
motion,
we'll
have
to
have
yeas
and
nays,
but
again
colleagues
I
also
I,
think
we
have
to
take
the
advice
of
our
chair
planning
committee
and
we've
in
fact
added
one
member
of
Council
today.
A
A
K
K
C
T
And
whereas,
at
its
count
at
its
meeting
of
March
16
2019
council
approved
the
2019
operating
in
capital
budget
and
whereas
after
council
approved
the
2019
budget,
the
federal
government
announced
it
would
double
the
gas
stack
transfer
to
cities
which
will
result
in
an
additional
57
million
dollars
to
the
city
of
Ottawa.
And
whereas
the
long-range
financial
plan
provides
that
gas
tax
revenue
are
primarily
directed
towards
transit
projects.
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
City
Council
approve
fourteen
point.
T
Four
to
five
million
of
the
additional
gas
tax
revenue
be
redirected
to
fund
roads
identified
in
the
2020
roads,
resurfacing
citywide
program
and
be
it
FURTHER
RESOLVED
that
staff
consult
with
all
members
of
council.
For
the
remaining
forty
two
point:
five
million
dollars
to
be
directed
towards
transit
and
transportation
related
projects;
okay,.
A
So
on
this,
because
there
are
many
moving
parts
I'm
going
to
ask
that
we
waive
the
rules
to
deal
with
it
now
with
a
goal
of
referring
it
to
the
city
treasurer
because,
as
we
all
know,
the
city
treasurer
is
coming
back
in
July,
with
a
full
impact
statement
on
what
the
gas
tax
money
should
be
used
for
and
where
we're
seeing
cuts
at
other
levels
of
government,
so
councilor
bleh
as
emotion.
Second,
my
counselor
hubely,
who
are
the
two
colleagues
who
have
been
entrusted
with
transit
and
transportation
issues,
counselor
bleh.
H
Mr.
mean
has
introduced
a
notice
of
motion
for
consideration
at
subsequent
meeting
with
respect
to
the
federal
gas
tax
program.
Transferring
where
is
the
motion
to
refer
this
matter,
whereas
a
motion
to
refer
this
matter,
the
treasurer
is
also
forthcoming,
be
resolved.
The
rules
of
procedure
be
suspended
to
consider
counselor
means
motion
with
respect
to
the
federal
gas
tax
program
transfer
at
today's
meeting
in
order
to
give
timely
direction
to
the
treasurer
in
advance
of
preparations
for
the
2020
budget
directions.
Great.
A
H
You
very
much
mr.
mayor
where's
the
where,
where,
as
there
are
a
number
of
factors
that
will
be
impact
in
the
2020
budget
and
the
availability
of
funds
to
support
councils
priorities,
including
but
not
limited,
to
recently,
announced
provincial
budget
pressures,
whereas
the
city
treasurer
will
be
bringing
the
2020
budget
directions.
Report
to
the
Finance
and
Economic
Development
Committee
and
Council
in
July,
providing
counsel
with
a
more
thorough
understanding
of
the
projected
pressures
that
the
city
will
be
facing
over
the
term
be
resolved.
H
T
A
Because
we
will
deal
with
it
in
July,
because
the
treasurer
is
bringing
forward
a
report
that
we
asked
her
to
to
come
back
with
an
analysis
of
where
the
57
million
dollars
should
be
spent.
So
council
will
make
the
decision
in
July
it's
just.
The
point
is
it's
premature
now,
because
not
all
of
the
information
is
known
in
terms
of
other
cuts
at
other
levels
of
government.
T
K
As
the
mayor's
indicated,
we've
only
started
now
as
a
result
of
the
provincial
budget
being
tabled
a
few
weeks
ago
to
understand
the
implications
that
it's
going
to
have
on
the
city
in
2020.
So
the
idea
is
to
keep
the
decision
about
where
you're
going
to
spend
the
federal
gas
tax
reserve
it
until
you
actually
understand
the
full
picture,
and
then
you
can
make
a
fuller,
a
more
informed
decision
about
what
you
want
to
do
with
that
money,
but
you're,
correct
councilor.
You
can
only
use
it
on
specific
types
of
works.
K
K
I
Mayor
the
the
notion
of
consultation
with
respect
to
what
those
particular
funds
can
be
used
for
is
a
good
idea.
The
issue
is
going
to
be
that
so
far
what
we
know
and
it's
still
still
loose,
but
the
information
we
know
about
the
impacts
and
other
parts
of
the
budget.
I
think
councillors
won't
be
able
to
provide
appropriate
consultation
without
understanding
what
the
impacts
are
in
other
areas
of
the
budgets.
The
consultation
again
as
the
treasurer
said,
may
be
premature.
I
Until
you
understand
the
entire
picture,
then
that's
what
I
would
suggest
you
do
the
consultation,
because
you
may
be
advocating
as
a
counselor
for
a
particular
spend
on
this
portion
of
money.
However,
you
may
not
know
that
child
care
has
been
cut
back
by
X
number
of
million
or
housings
been
cut
back
or
paramedic
service
or
public
health
or
whatever
that
impact
is,
and
you
may
have
a
different
perspective
depending
on
your
interest
in
your
priorities.
With
respect
to
the
consultation
feedback
you
want
to
give
to
staff.
I
So
our
suggestion
is
that
the
entire
picture,
as
we
know
it
in
July
with
the
budget
day
we
come
back
and
if
counsel
wishes
to
have
consultation
at
that
point
on
specific
aspects
of
it,
that's
certainly
accommodated,
but
our
recommendations
at
this
point,
the
effort
would
not
generate
anything.
It
would
be
useful
in
the
overall
picture,
depending
on
what
we
want
to
do
with
the
57
million
dollars.
As
a
treasurer,
the
semi
look
said
there
may
be
a
swap-out
potential
in
terms
of
tax
rate
funds
versus
this
one-time
source
of
funds.
I
A
You
councillor
Dean's,
just
to
remind
you,
of
course,
as
the
city
manager
said,
and
this
councillor
Dean's
raised
the
issue
with
respect
to
public
consultation.
This
motion
will
not
allow
any
public
consultation,
so
I
think
that's
important
and
I
think
you
know
we
get
ourselves
in
trouble
when
we
make
decisions
on
the
fly
without
the
full
story
and
I'm
glad
the
treasurer
was
able
to
to
outline
that
councillor
Minard.
Please
thanks.
Q
Mr.
mayor
I
just
want
to
clarify
what
I
think
the
point.
The
point
is
that
we
want
staff
to
talk
to
us
before
you
go
to
fedko
so
that
we
can
have
a
discussion
about
what
is
important
in
our
areas.
Not
not
what
you
were
indicating
before
so
is
there
gonna
be
time
to
to
speak
with
counselors?
Can
staff
speak
with
city
councillors
about
their
priorities,
going
into
fedko,
with
the
knowledge
that
we
already
have
of
the
cuts
for
the
provincial
government?
Well,.
I
The
the
sequencing
of
it
will
be
that
I
think
you
don't
do
I
think
you
won't
be
able
to
do
your
priorities.
Laughs.
You
see
what
the
ins
and
outs
are
of
the
entire
budget.
I
think
the
challenge,
mr.
mayor,
that
councillors
are
going
to
have,
is
consulting
you
before
you
understand.
The
entire
financial
picture
might
be
a
moot
point,
because
you
may
change
your
mind
significantly.
I
Q
Sorry,
but
that
so
are
you
saying
that
we
would
see
the
analysis
going
to
fake,
oh
and
then
we'd
have
the
debate
there
there'll
be
no
discussion
in
the
fans.
Can
we
send
you
an
email
that
says
hey,
take
these
things
into
consideration,
I'm,
just
saying:
look
it
there's
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
around
the
table
just
privately
about
where
this
money
should
go
and
what
it
should
be
allocated
towards.
Certainly
a
lot
of
us
are
well-versed
on
on
the
provincial
budget
and
I
take
it.
Q
Q
I
Mayor,
it's
not
a
question
not
wanting
to
count
to
talk
to
Council
it's
it
isn't
actually
basic
stuff
because
there's
some
there
are
some
significant
analysis
and
options
that
are
going
to
be
presented
to
you
in
terms
of
how
you
deal
with
capital
money.
How
you
deal
with
operating
money
and
and
the
choice?
Is
she
going
to
make
within
your
tax
target
where
you're
gonna
put
your
priorities?
I
Service
cuts
versus
not
service
cuts,
backfilling,
provincial
whole
versus
not
backfilling
provincial
holes,
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
things
that
and
you're
only
gonna
get
one
slice
of
it.
Now,
you're
not
getting
the
whole
picture
and
our
suggestion
is
get
the
whole
picture,
then
sure
we'll
have
a
discussion,
but
you
at
least
we're
talking
about
the
whole
picture.
Not
one
small
slice
of
it
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
suggestions.
I
H
Thank
you
very
much,
mr.
mayor,
it's
like
the
guy
that
wins
the
lottery
and
decides
to
go
and
buy
a
house
and
a
boat
when
he
knows
his
boss
is
about
to
do
layoffs
at
work
without
talking
your
financial
adviser,
like
that,
that's
just
silly.
The
best
thing
for
us
to
do
is
to
talk
to
our
financial
advisor,
because
we
know
our
boss
is
gonna,
do
layoffs
and
cutbacks
at
work.
So
let's
talk
to
our
financial
adviser
and
get
all
the
information
to
make
an
informed
decision
about
everything.
H
B
Thank
you
sure,
a
couple
of
quick
questions.
If
I
may,
it
would
be
helpful
while
the
headlines
are
still
fresh,
can
I
ask
to
have
to
provide
councillors
with
a
memo
or
some
sort
that
describes
the
parameters
for
how
the
federal
gas
tax
can
be
used.
We
can
go
back
to
the
original
agreements
and
try
to
interpret
the
language,
but
I,
think
plain.
B
B
K
The
decision
to
use
it
on
transit
was
made
when
this
started,
probably
eight
or
nine
years
ago
and
I,
don't
think
it
would
be
reconsideration
because
your
agreement
actually
allows
you
to
use
it
on
that
list
of
types
of
works
that
the
federal
government
has
defined.
So
if
we
were
to
say
that
we
don't
need
to
use
it
on
transit,
but
we
could
use
it
on
something
else,
then
I
don't
think
it
would
be
reconsideration.
Okay,
that's.
A
R
In
addition,
please
indicate
when
the
Standing
Committee
on
Environmental,
Protection,
water
and
waste
management
will
receive
a
detailed
report
with
recommendations
regarding
the
development
of
a
comprehensive
multi
residential
strategy
that
will
explore
policies,
programs
and
pilot
initiatives
that
the
committee
and
ultimately
council
will
consider
in
order
to
increase
diversion
and
participation
in
the
program
and,
finally,
will
staff
confirm
that
it's
their
intent
to
recommend
the
implementation
of
green
bins
and
multi-unit
dwellings
as
mandatory
no
later
than
when
the
solid
waste
master
plan
is
submitted
for
approval,
if
not
sooner.
Thank
you,
your
worship.
Thank
you.
A
N
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
my
inquiries
to
do
was
earlier.
Today
we
had
the
honor
to
host
my
MPP
and
Marilee
Fullerton,
provincial
minister
and
member
of
the
provincial
Treasury
Board
here
in
this
chamber,
for
a
ticketed
event
known
as
the
mayor's
breakfast
and
it
wasn't
open
to
the
public
protesters
were
including
I'm
told
city
staff
were
able
to
enter
this
area
and
attempt
to
break
the
glass
and
doors
for
about
five
minutes
until
police
arrived.
N
This
place,
the
mayor's
guests
at
risk
of
harm
if
the
glass
had
broken
or
if
they
got
through
the
door
like
corporate
security
to
investigate
and
report
back
to
council
in
camera,
if
necessary,
on
how
this
was
possible.
What
do
we
need
to
consider
to
provide
for
better
security
to
our
guests
and
the
public
who
enjoy
coming
to
City
Hall
because
they
assumed
it
was
a
safe
place
and
I'd?
N
Take
special
mention
about
this
issue
that
we're
told
that
there
was
some
city
staff
that
were
involved
in
that,
if
that's
during
work
hours,
I'd
like
to
know
and
that's
where
we
might
have
to
go
on
camera
I'd
like
to
know
what
the
options
are
here
for
that,
because
that's
totally
out
of
line
okay.
Thank
you.
Mr.
mayor.
