A
Before
we
begin
today's
meeting,
I
want
to
recognize
that
today
april
28th
is
the
national
day
of
mourning
for
persons
killed
or
injured
in
the
workplace
workers
morning
day,
first
officially
recognized
by
the
federal
government
30
years
ago.
The
national
day
of
mourning
is
an
opportunity
to
memorialize
those
who
have
lost
their
lives
or
suffered
injury
or
illness
on
the
job
due
to
a
work-related
tragedy,
while
also
acknowledging
the
sacrifices
of
front-line
and
essential
workers
who
have
died
or
become
ill
during
the
covet
19
pandemic,
and
also
to
resolve
to
prevent
future
tragedies.
A
To
commemorate
this
day,
the
flags
at
all
city
of
ottawa
sites
have
been
lowered
to
half
mass,
and
I
will
now
read
the
proclamation
that
normally
many
of
us
would
be
attending
at
vincent
massey
park,
but
obviously
because
of
covid.
We
have
to
do
it
virtually,
whereas
this
annual
day
of
mourning
commemorates
the
sacrifices
made
by
workers
who
have
been
killed,
injured
or
disabled
on
the
job
during
the
past
year
and
their
families,
and
whereas
statistics
concerning
workplace
deaths
and
injuries
are
alarming,
but
also
human
cost
is
harder
to
bear.
A
A
A
Thank
you
we'll
see
well
good
morning.
Everyone
bonjour
tu
le

april
is
national
poetry.
Month
in
canada,
and
earlier
this
year
I
had
the
honor
of
proclaiming
national
poetry
month
in
the
city
of
ottawa.
I'm
pleased
to
welcome
ottawa's
new
poets
laureate
who
are
joining
us
this
morning
to
recite
poems.
In
recognition
of
poetry,

I'm
happy
to
extend
a
warm
welcome
and
congratulations
to
jill
latour
and
albert
dumont.
The
city
of
ottawa,
poets
laureate
for
2021-2023
term
poetry
is
written
to
share
ideas,
express
emotions
and
create
imagery.
It
plays
an
integral
part
and
role
in
our
culture
in
the
context
of
the
global
pandemic.
It's
fitting
that
this
year's
theme
for
national
poetry
month
is
resilience,
perhaps
a
much
needed
reminder
of
our
capacity
to
recover
quickly
from
difficulties.
A
I
also
want
to
welcome
mr
huber
lucier,
the
chair
of
verse,
ottawa
and
representatives
of
the
organization
who
are
attending
the
virtual
presentation.
Verse
ottawa
is
the
city's
poetry
umbrella
organization
that
works
to
sustain
and
promote
poetry
in
all
forms
in
the
national
capital
region.
Every
two
years
following
a
rigorous
selection
process,
verse
ottawa
officially
appoints
ottawa's
poets
laureate
in
march.
The
poet
laureate
program
is
a
significant
cultural
and
educational
initiative
that
contributes
to
the
city's
cultural
identity
by
supporting
poetry,
programs
and
events.
A
Ottawa's
new
poets,
laureate
albert
dumas
and
jill
latur
will
serve
as
the
english
and
french
language
laureate
respectively.
Albert
dumont
is
a
poet
storyteller
and
an
algonquin
traditional
teacher.
His
most
recent
book
sitting
by
the
rapids
in
2018,
is
a
calm
and
graceful
meditation
on
the
extraordinary
healing
power
of
poetry,

I
appreciate
all
you
do
if
there's
one
thing
I'm

of
in
this
troubled

we
live
in
is
the
fact
that
words
can
become
the
greatest
of
healers,
true
to

So
through
the
power
of
poetry,
I
will
do
all
I
can
to
erase
bigotry
and

from

I
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
whereas
on
april
22nd
2021,
the
city's
planning
committee
and
community
and
protective
services
committee
jointly
considered
staff
reports,
it's
a
big
long
number
concerning
the
proposed
short-term
rental
bylaw.
And
whereas
the
proposed
bylaw
addresses
many
of
the
concerns
expressed
by
residents
over
the
last
number
of
years,
including
the
requirement
of
the
property
owner
to
exclusively
use
the
principal
residence
to
rent
using
a
city
of
ottawa
platform
to
advertise
their
property
requiring
ottawa.
Bylaw.
I
Beyond
what
the
new
bylaw
is
proposing,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
number
of
persons
permitted
to
sleep
in
any
short-term
dwelling
unit
be
limited
to
eight.
Mr
mayor,
I'd
just
like
to
speak
briefly
to
this
item.
I
want
to
begin
by
thanking
staff
for
their
excellent
work
in
drafting
the
proposed
short-term
rental
bylaw.
I
The
proposed
bylaw
includes
a
suite
of
measures
that
will
address
many
of
the
concerns
about
short-term
rentals
expressed
by
residents
over
the
past
several
years,
and
I
can
tell
you
my
my
residents
have
had
plenty
of
them.
My
ward
has
been
adversely
impacted
by
busloads
of
sports
teams
and
large
gatherings
that
have
disrupted
otherwise
quiet
communities,
and
I
have
heard
from
residents
in
my
ward,
who
are
generally
very
happy
about
this
new
regulatory
framework.
I
I
City
staff
do
not
agree
with
capping
overnight
guests
because
they
would
like
to
ensure
that
rentals
remain
available
to
meet
demand
for
larger
group
bookings
and
that
complaints
can
be
dealt
with
on
an
individual
basis.
However,
it's
my
opinion
that
we
should
get
this
right
from
the
start.
We've
been
at
this
bylaw
for
a
number
of
years
now,
and
I
really
do
believe
that
now
is
the
opportunity
to
address
the
known
problems.
I
The
way
the
bylaw
is
currently
drafted
up
to
16
adults
or
32
children
would
be
allowed
to
stay
in
a
single
dwelling
unit.
I
think
by
most
people's
standards.
That's
excessive
crowds
of
this
magnitude
would
be
best
to
book
a
suite
of
hotel
rooms
in
an
area
better
suited
to
accommodating
large
parties.
I
Hotels
have
been
hard
hit
by
the
pandemic
and
I
am
sure
they
would
welcome
the
opportunity
to
accommodate
large
groups
and
with
that,
mr
mayor
I'll,
just
wrap
up
and
say
thank
you
again
to
the
staff
for
all
the
work
that
they
have
done.
I
think
this
bylaw
will
go
a
long
way
in
addressing
problems
of
the
past,
and
I
do
hope
that
members
of
council
will
see
the
wisdom
encountering
the
number
of
people
in
a
single
family
dwelling
unit
to
eight.
I
A
G
G
So
we
we
had
the
the
public
consultation
and
we
had
the
people
come
and
speak
about
about
the
bylaw
and
the
committee
recommended
unanimous
support
for
the
staff
report
and
now
we're
coming
here
to
make
changes
where
the
public
will
not
be
able
to
speak
about
that
changes
so
how
the
staff
feel
about
ca.
I
know
that
you
know
in
in
the
committee
meeting.
F
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Yes,
that's
that's
correct
staff
are
recommending
that
the
bylaw
carve
out
a
regulated
space
for
those
larger
group
rentals.
We
certainly
are
aware
of
the
concerns
that
the
council
has
expressed
about
larger
group
rentals
and
we
have
taken
those
away.
We've
considered
them
and
we've
come
back
with
a
number
of
checks
and
balances
and
new
enforcement
tools
to
regulate
those
problem
properties
that
may
have
a
larger
group
where
problems
arise.
F
G
My
other
question
is
what
happened
to
the
stakeholder,
the
people
you
consulted
with
the
people
you
talked
to,
and
I
spoke
to
some
of
the
residents
in
my
area,
which
is
we
don't
have
many
those
options
and
but
when
we
do
have
a
wedding
in
a
small
town
and
people
come
from
out
of
town,
we
want
to
be
able
to
to
provide
them
to
stay
within
their
community.
But
do
we
know
and
then
do
we
know
how?
G
How
much
will
have
impact
on
on
the
outline
area
which
I'm
interested
in
when
it
comes
to
a
larger
group?
Again,
we
don't
have
as
many
platforms
my
colleague
benefit
from
we
have
limited
in
our
area.
Is
that
will
make
more
restriction
and
those
area
or
that's
what
I'm
concerned,
because
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
options,
so
we
have
a
few
options
and
large
enough
to
have
a
large
family,
a
reunion
or
a
wedding
or
other
occasion
with
this
restriction.
What
will
that
do
to
those
people?
G
F
K
Yes,
thank
you
very
much.
I
have
a
question.
I
I
fully
understand
where
counselor
dean's
motion
is
coming
for
from,
and
you
know
I
I
sympathize
with
it
and
actually
I
support
it.
My
concern,
though,
is,
and
when
I
was
thinking
about
the
number
of
eight
you
know
I
have.
I
have
three
children.
If
I
choose
to
stay
in
a
in
a
place
with
my
sister
who
has
two
children,
we've
just
exceeded
the
cap,
so
valerie
in
your
comments.
You
mentioned
that
it
was
limited
from
your
understanding
of
this
motion.
K
It's
limited
to
eight
adults,
but
it
doesn't
say
the
word
adult.
So
I
don't
know
if
I'm
asking
for
clarification
from
the
mover
of
the
motion
or
from
from
bylaw,
but
is
there
a
way
to
recognize
that
sometimes
you
know
limiting
adults
is
necessary,
but
if
you
have
young
children
we
could
go
with
the
definition
that
even
airbnb
uses
themselves
so
12
and
under
is
considered
a
child
that
that
would
be
permissible.
I
I
If
we
exempted
children
under
12
from
this
or
counted
them
as
0.5,
you
could
still
have
two
adults
and
14,
kids
or
or
under
the
proposal.
That's
currently
there.
You
could
have
two
adults
and
30
kids
in
in
the
home.
That's
excessive!
That
still
allows
the
whole
sports
team,
the
whole
dance
trip
and
what
we've
seen
in
my
ward
is,
I
I
could
show
you
photos.
Valerie
has
them.
I
I've
sent
them
to
her
of
backpacks
all
the
way
down
the
driveway
busloads
coming
into
a
neighborhood
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
prevent
and,
in
my
mind,
hotels,
are
for
that.
You
want
to
bring
a
sports
team,
go
to
a
hotel
like
eight
people
is
a
lot
and
councillor
judas.
If
you
and
your
sister
and
your
spouses-
and
you
each
have
two
kids
that
would
be
permitted.
That's
eight!
I
That's
still
permitted,
that's
a
normal
number,
a
reasonable
number,
but
once
you
start
getting
into
the
teens
or
20
people
in
a
single
dwelling
unit,
it
disrupts
a
local
community.
It
disrupts
the
neighborhood
and,
if
you've
ever
supervised,
one
of
your
kids
outings
on
a
school
bus.
You
know
that
20
10
year
olds
make
a
lot
of
noise
in
a
neighborhood
and
that's
what
not.
What
those
residential
neighborhoods
are
for.
I
Hotels
have
been
hard
hit
by
the
pandemic
and,
in
my
mind,
book
a
suite
of
rooms
in
a
hotel
that
are
set
up
to
accommodate
that
kind
of
group,
but
airbnb's
or
the
rbos
or
whatever
they
should
be
for
smaller
groups
in
neighborhoods.
They
should
be
fit
into
the
neighborhood
that
they're
going
into
not
be
disruptive
to
it
and
that's
the
problem.
K
So
so
I
appreciate
the
clarification
counselor
deans
and
I
and
I
like
I
said
I
am
it's
not
you
know-
we've
had
a
limited
experience
of
that
in
my
ward
and
I
understand
your
word
has
been
you
know
bombarded
by
this,
so
I
get
this.
I
think,
though
I
am
gonna,
I'm
gonna
clarify
you
know
once
once
again.
I
think
that
there's
room
in
the
city
for
both
hotels
and
for
for
this
in-home
experience-
and
you
know
when,
when
people
travel
to
ottawa,
they
want
different
opportunities
to
do
so.
K
F
K
C
Great,
thank
you,
your
worship,
I'm
just
wondering
I
see
a
chief
chapman's
here
and
I
guess
you
probably
knew
I
was
going
to
speak
today.
I
do
like
this
motion
because
just
two
weeks
ago,
when
we
had
a
very
wholesome
debate
and
talked
about
this
exact
challenge,
we're
having
the
residence
was
supposed
to
be
removed
from
airbnb,
there
was
over
12
people
in
their
20s
and
30s
partying
during
a
pandemic,
and
we
found
out
literally
last
weekend
it
continued
and
I
want
to.
C
L
Mr
mayor,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Yes,
we
have
been
in
regular
contact
with
with
airbnb
with
regards
to
this
particular
location,
and
I
I
can't
tell
you
that,
as
of
this
morning,
they
still
have
not
been
removed
from
the
platform,
but
we
we've
been
told
that
it's
still
it's
still
being
reviewed
and
they're
they're
hoping
to
have
an
answer
to
us
by
the
end
of
the
day.
Today,.
C
Thank
you
for
that
roger,
and
I
know
it's
very
frustrating
for
you
as
us,
counselors
come
to
you
and
say:
look
it's
middle
of
a
pandemic,
and,
and
you
know
you
have
to
go
back
and
you
have
to
get
these
statements
and
and
it's
just
a
lot
of
extra
work,
putting
your
life's
in
danger
right
now
during
the
pandemic
as
well,
which
I
don't
like
is
this
new
new
amendment
to
emotion
restricting
it
to
eight?
Do
you
see
this
as
helpful
in
any
way.
L
Mr
mayor,
that's
it's
a
difficult
question.
I
mean
this
particular
situation
is
an
individual
who
rented
this
location,
so
this
is
one
person
and
turned
into
to
a
large
party.
So
I'm
not
sure
that
that
these
cops
would
necessarily
restrict
this
from
happening,
and
I
think
that
you
know
being
that
these
are
now
within
a
regulated
environment.
It
gives
us
the
the
tools
to
be
able
to
quickly
mobilize
to
be
able
to
to
shut
these
places
down
that
are
that
are
causing
the
problems
in
these
communities.
C
Okay,
great
yeah,
and
that
I
think
that's
one
of
the
only
questions
I
have
a
counselor
I'll
I'll,
gladly
support
this.
I've
witnessed
it
myself,
it's
how
we
arrived
at
number.
Eight,
I
think,
is
the
question:
that's
there
and
I
know
there'll
be
a
further
debate.
I
see
a
lot
of
hands
up,
so
I
won't
take
much
more
time,
but
I
want
to
thank
roger
and
this
team.
I
know
it's
been
very,
very
frustrating
over
the
last
little
while
and
thanks
again,
mr
mayor.
M
Thank
you
mayor.
It's
really
great
to
see
this
matter
come
to
council
today
to
pass
these
by-law
amendments.
As
councilor
dean
said
it
was
many
years
in
the
making
and
when
she
and
I
chaired
and
vice
chair
to
the
cps
committee
last
term
or
last
term
of
council,
this
certainly
was
something
we
wanted
to
see
get
off
the
ground.
So
it's
very
good
to
see
this
riverward
is,
is
not
exempt
from
short-term
rentals
and
our
share
of
of
issues
with
noise
and
rowdiness
and
property
standards
and
parking
that
many
of
us
have
experienced.
M
They're
not
meant
to
be
overrun
with
with
these
large
bookings,
whether
it
be
for
parties
or
the
dance
teams
or
hockey
teams,
and
let's
just
think
about
that
for
a
second
32
people
not
coming
for
a
party
but
sleeping
this
is
the
number
of
people
who
would
be
permitted
to
sleep
in
an
oversized
dwelling
unit
and
it's
not
just
for
west
carleton
or
cumberland
out
in
the
outskirts
these
estate
homes.
This
can
be
in
every
single
ward.
M
If
you
have
an
oversized
dwelling
unit
in
your
ward,
it
qualifies
to
allow
up
to
32
people
to
sleep
in
the
house
and
that's
inappropriate.
Let's
just
have
a
reasonable
conversation
about
this.
32
people
sleeping
in
a
home
is
not
appropriate
and
your
neighbors
around
that
property.
Don't
think
it's
reasonable
either
they
don't
want
it
and
if
we're
going
to
permit
short-term
rentals
and
have
some
teeth
toward
a
by-law,
you
really
have
to
think
about
a
reasonable
cap,
because
if
you
don't
support
this
motion,
why
is
there
a
cap
to
begin
with
you?
M
Would
you
should
lift
the
cap?
Why
32?
Why
not
50?
Why
not
have
50
people
sleep
in
the
house?
We
have
to
have
a
reasonable
cap,
and
that
cap
is
eight.
You
can
still
have
a
family
come
and
enjoy
the
city
of
ottawa
and
use
a
short-term
rental
and
eight
people
sleeping
it
doesn't
mean
the
number
of
people
who
can
come
and
enjoy.
The
events
throughout
the
day
is
capped
at
eight.
You
can
have
a
lot
of
people
still
come,
but
when
it
comes
to
sleeping
in
a
safe
environment,
eight
is
a
reasonable
number.
M
So
I'm
certainly
going
to
be
supporting
this.
I
had
concerns
as
well.
During
the
committee
debate
and
discussion,
we
talked
about
capping
the
number
of
nights
and
through
talking
with
staff,
I
understand
that,
having
some
teeth
to
the
bylaw
that
can
be
enforced
with
fines
pulling
the
license
in
other
ways,
then
that
is
certainly
the
way
to
go.
I
do
have
a
direction
to
staff
speaking
with
staff
and
looking
about
the
importance
of
the
committee
and
council
getting
an
update
before
the
three
year
pilot
is
over
and
sort
of
staff
agree
with
with
this
direction.
M
So
this
will
be
important
data
for
us
to
get
not
at
the
end
of
three
years,
but
after
the
first
full
year
in
change
and
for
the
concerns
or
chronic
concerns
that
we
have
that
short-term
rentals
present
we'll
actually
have
data
to
corroborate
that
concern
or
not,
and
if
we
want
to
make
additional
tweaks,
we
can
so
that
direction
is
provided.
But
overall
I
will
be
supporting
the
motion.
That's
on
the
floor,
not
just
from
counselor
dean's
today,
but
the
overall
motion.
M
D
N
N
D
N
N
That's
the
only
way
I
can
book
a
hotel
nowadays,
so
now
you're
going
to
further
discriminate
as
large
families.
It's
ridiculous
and
you
all
talk
about
how
reasonable
it
is.
That's
it
I
mean
if
you
want
to
discriminate
against
large
families.
Do
it
past
the
motion,
but
I
won't
support
it.
I
think
it's
completely
unfair.
H
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
I
I
hear
councillor
moffat's
concerns
and
and
councilor
dudas,
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
that
number
8
could
be
moved
to
10,
because
I
think
that's
a
much
more
reasonable
number.
I
know
in
recent
discussing
discussions
around
housing
in
the
community.
We
talk
about
how
families
are
getting
larger,
that
there's
more
kids
involved.
H
As
councilor
moffat
said,
I
can
speak
from
my
own
experience
when
we
travel
with
our
kids.
When
we
were
younger,
we
would
often
let
one
of
them
bring
a
friend
along
for
the
experience
of
wherever
we
were
going
to
and
you've
got
to
aid
as
a
narrow
number
to
watch
the
other
thing.
Mr
mayor,
that's
concerning
to
me
here.
I
would
support
the
motion.
Definitely
if
the
number
was
adjusted,
but
the
other
part
that's
concerning
me
is
I've
never
got
a
complaint
about
how
many
people
sleep
overnight
in
a
airbnb.
H
It's
all
about
how
many
people
show
up
in
the
evening
and
party
into
the
wee
hours
of
the
morning
that
impact
the
neighbors
extremely
hard,
and
so
I'd
like
to
hear
from
staff
how
this
motion
will
help
us
address
that
concern
that
at
least
my
residents
are
more
concerned
about
how
many
people
are
there
in
the
evening.
Is
there
a
way
we
can
limit.
Q
That
hi,
thank
you,
mr
mayor,
thank
you
for
the
question
through
through
roger
and
his
team.
This
this
bylaw
will
give
them
more
authorities,
it'll,
be
in
a
regulated
environment,
so
they
now
have
the
ability
to
apply
conditions
to
to
permits.
So
one
of
those
pieces
is
whether
it's
occupancy,
whether
it's
limiting
the
number
of
people
allowed
within
those
facilities,
but
it
gives
them
the
authority
now
to
also
have
the
property
owner
respond
in
a
sufficient
time.
Q
L
L
We
can
you
know
if,
if
the,
if
the
prop,
if
it's
a
property
manager,
that's
involved,
there
is
a
requirement
that
they
respond
quickly
to
help.
You
know,
try
and
curb
some
of
this
bad
behavior
behavior,
that's
ongoing
within
the
residence
and
as
mentioned,
we
do
have
the
ability
now
to
apply
conditions
as
well.
So
if
we
get
into
situations
where
you
know
the
the
occupancy
standard,
that's
in
there
is
is
too
high.
We
can
apply
a
new
standard,
so
we
can.
We
can
cap
it
at
four.
L
H
Roger
I
I'm
gonna,
ask
you
a
follow-up,
but
first
I
want
to
thank
you
and,
and
your
team
for
the
amazing
work
you're
doing
through
this
pandemic.
I
know
you're
getting
demands
coming
from
all
different
directions
on
your
resources
and
it's
not
your
your
normal
workload
that
you're
doing,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
upfront
how
much
I
appreciate
your
effort.
H
My
follow-up
question
to
this
is
my
concern
with
this
particular
motion.
Is
the
use
of
the
term
overnighting
or
sleeping
overnight?
Does
that
restrict
your
ability
to
deal
with
a
party
house?
If,
if
a
large
number
are
there,
would
the
renter
be
able
to
say
to
your
officers?
Well,
only
eight
of
them
are
going
to
stay
overnight.
So
the
fact
I
have
32
people,
if
that's
the
number
being
thrown
out
there
here
for
a
dinner
party
or
or
whatever
barbecue,
does
not
restrict
your
people's
ability
to
to
address
that
concern.
L
Mr
mary,
yes,
thank
you.
It's
a
great
question
and
again
you
know
I
refer
back
to
the
the
regulations
and
us
working
within
a
regulated
environment
that
gives
us
those
tools,
so
we
can
avail
different,
different
regulations,
but
you
know
it's
important.
You
know
when
it's
a
when
it's
a
party
house,
there's
still
a
noise
by
a
lot
that
we
can
enforce.
If
it's
parking
you
know,
concerns,
there's
still
the
parking
bylaw
that
we
use
the
waste
and
debris
it's.
We
still
have
property
standards
by
law
that
can
be
enforced.
L
Those
those
tools
are
still
available
to
us,
but
I
mean
the
the
the
short-term
rental
bylaw
allows
us
to
apply
those
conditions
when
we
have
those
problem
properties
that
we
haven't
had
in
the
past-
and
I
think
you
know
when
we
start
looking
at
overnight
guests,
I
mean
it's,
you
know,
as
many
of
the
council
members
have
have
indicated
here
today
I
mean
there
is
a
need.
There's
a
there,
is
a
niche
in
in
the
market
to
allow
for
for
larger.
L
You
know
two
families
coming
in
so
larger
homes
that
that
can,
you
know,
certainly
accommodate
a
larger
number
of
guests.
I
mean
you
talk
about
one
acre
lots
and
that
would
have
very
little
impact
on
on
the
the
community.
I
know
that
in
some
situations-
and
I
know
that
counselor
deans
has
raised
a
few
concerns
that
we
have
had
in
in
her
neighborhoods
in
the
last
couple
years-
and
you
know
we
do
have
the
tools
now
to
be
able
to
to
regulate
that
type
of
activity.
L
So
we
can,
we
can
apply
those
caps.
You
know
it
can
be
do
done
on
the
front
end
through
the
application
process.
We
have
the
ability
now
to
apply
those
occupancy
rates
depending
on
the
size
of
the
dwelling,
the
number
of
bedrooms
when
they
submit
the
floor
plan.
We
can
try-
and
you
know,
deal
with
some
of
these
issues
up
front,
but
certainly
as
problems
arise,
we
can
mobilize
a
lot
quicker
and
be
able
to
to
resolve.
These
community
concerns
a
lot
quicker.
H
A
E
Yes,
your
worship,
so
my
question
is
for
by
law
enforcement.
This
issue,
but
on
midterm
and
longer
term
rentals
has
been
an
issue
in
our
ward
for
over
eight
years,
and
there
are
several
chronic
offenders
in
our
area
and
the
the
response
from
bylaw
has
always
been
yeah.
If
you're
not
allowed
to
have
more
than
a
certain
number.
L
L
But
but
we
do
have
some
investigative
techniques
that
we
can
use
and
you
know
to
determine
how
many
people
are
living
there.
It's
we
often
get
permitted
access
by
knocking
on
the
door
when
we
go
in
and
do
those
investigations
and
some
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
for
to
determine
whether
it's
a
rooming
house
type
setting
it's
you
know
the
whether
it's
shared
accommodation
or
not.
Is
food
storage
in
bedrooms,
locks
on
bedroom
doors,
numbers
on
bedroom
doors,
the
setup
in
the
kitchen
set
up
in
common
areas?
L
The
washrooms
are
usually
a
good
indicator.
I
mean
in
a
rooming
house
type
setting
you
often
don't
see.
People
leave
their
towels
behind
or
some
of
their
toiletries
behind
it's
in
a
shared
accommodation.
You'll
often
see
that
towels
are
hanging
in
the
bathroom
and
people
leave,
toothpaste
and
things
that
they
share.
E
E
R
Yes,
mr
matt,
thank
you
to
both
councillor
deans
for
moving
the
motion
and
councillor
moffitt
for
for
raising
a
particular
concern.
That's
that's
the
joy
of
having
counsel
with
with
different
different
realities,
different
demographics
and
able
to
share
that
information
at
our
table
so
certainly
appreciate
the
points
that
were
raised.
Roger.
R
So
for
me,
on
that
basis,
like
counselor
dean's
motion
that
it'd
be
eight
that'd
be
ten,
the
intent
is
not
to
limit
the
intent
is
if
there
are
particular
issues
that
there
is
additional
abilities
to
enforce,
and
I
think
that's
where
councilor
dean's
was
was
going.
From
my
perspective,
the
roger.
I
know
what
committee
it
was.
We've
gone
around
the
circle,
but
I
just
want
to
clarify
if
I'm
a
property
owner
in
ottawa,
it
is
my
principal
residence,
but
I
never
physically
put
my
foot
in
my
property
throughout
the
year.
R
R
I
just
want
to
raise
that
because
we
did
a
full
circle
on
that
at
committee
and
I
thought
man
we
went
in
so
many
directions:
the
the
principal
residence
piece.
You
can
never
put
your
foot
in
a
principal
residence,
but
if
it's
the
property
you
own
in
ottawa,
you're
able
to
short-term
rent,
which
I
I
see
as
a
bit
of
a
loophole
and-
and
that
drives
me
to
my
my
further
interest,
which
is
if
they
are
to
act
as
commercial
properties.
I'd
love
to
hear
from
finance
staff.
R
The
tools
that
we
have
to
ensure
that
the
elements
of
fairness
with
the
which
were
raised
by
tourism
and
the
hotel
industry
in
terms
of
the
additional
cost
for
commercial
properties
are
upheld.
So
can
I
get
some
clarity
from
finance
as
to
how
we
and
you
know
how
we
plan
to
to
inform
in
form
of
that
commercial
change
of
for
a
particular
property.
F
Councillor
thanks
very
much
for
the
question,
I'm
happy
to
start
and
then
I'll.
Ask
mr
mahoney
also
to
provide
some
feedback
and
comments,
and
I
think
when
I
look
at
this
from
a
very
fundamental
perspective,
the
activity
that
you're
talking
about
is
really
governed
by
the
federal
income
tax
act
and
that
act
clearly
specifies
the
taxation
regimes
for
folks
who
are
collecting
rental
income.
So
whether
you
are
a
commercial
business,
whether
you
are
a
resident
living
in
your
permanent
residence,
you
are
required
by
that
act,
to
report
that
income
and
pay
tax
on
it.
S
S
So
this
is
something
that
we're
already
doing
today
and
we
will
continue
to
do
so
in
future
as
we
find
any
activity
that's
going
on.
That
might
be
suspect
that
we
feel
impact
should
or
could
review.
We
can
go
ahead
and
do
that.
However,
from
a
as
as
wendy
mentioned
from
a
residential
point
of
view,
the
fact
that
these
properties
are
deemed
to
be
principal
residences,
the
principal
residence
is
really
the
foundation
of
the
residential
tax
class.
So
I
think
we
want
to
be
cognizant
to
that.
As
we
move
forward,
we
have
short-term
renters.
S
We
also
have-
and-
and
you
know
in
in
the
case
of
long-term
renters,
long-term
renters
enjoy
the
residential
tax
class
in
some
cases
and
in
cases
where
they
do
not
on
older
properties
built
prior
to
2009
the
province,
and
the
city,
I
think,
is
making
efforts
to
sort
of
bring
them
down
to
a
more
towards
a
residential
rate.
So
I
think
we
need
to
observe
this
industry
a
little
bit
more.
S
It's
an
emerging
industry,
it's
now
just
being
regulated
here
in
ottawa
and
also
in
toronto.
So
I
think
the
fact
that
it's
now
regulated,
we
can
observe
it
more
comparisons
I
think,
are
being
drawn
between
the
short-term
rental
and
the
hotel
industry,
but
also
comparisons
could
be
drawn
between
short-term
rentals
and
long-term
rentals
which
enjoy
the
residential
rates.
So
I
think
this
needs
a
little
bit
more
time
to
observe
it
needs
to
be
observed.
It
needs
a
little
bit
more
time
to
be
studied.
S
It
needs
a
little
bit
more
time
to
develop
so
that
I
think
we
can
make
more
educated
opinions
in
terms
of
the
best
approach
or
the
best
direction
in
terms
of
handling
these.
But,
as
I
said
earlier,
any
activity
that
we
feel
should
be
referred
to
impact
we
will
continue
to
do
that
and
mpac
will
make
the
determinations
as
they
see
fit
under
the
municipal
act.
So
that's
that's
our
our
view
on
that
and
that's
our
position
with
regards
to
short-term
rentals
and
taxation.
At
this
point.
R
Q
F
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Yes,
during
the
pilot
period,
staff
will
be
tracking
data
particular
to
short-term
rentals,
so
within
the
the
regulated
system
will
be
tracking
how
many
permits
have
been
applied
for
and
received
the
information
we
obtained
from
hosts
information
that
we
obtained
from
platforms,
information
that
we
obtain
as
well
independently
through
web
surveillance,
we'll
also
be
tracking
the
volume
and
nature
of
service
requests.
R
L
R
Is
a
an
important
leap
for
the
city
and
capturing
a
number
of
issues
that
have
been
front
and
center
in
our
city
and
particularly
in
my
community.
As
you
know,
I
I'm
the
community,
where
there's
most
short-term
rental
in
the
city,
about
75
percent
of
all
short-term
rentals
are
in
in
rideau
vanier,
specifically
near
the
byron
market.
So
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
their
work.
I
think
we're
taking
that
big
big
step,
which
is
important.
R
P
P
Any
responsible,
coach
or
parent
would
not
deliberately
contravene.
I
think
a
bylaw
or
an
act
here
in
ottawa,
and
it
would
certainly
it
would
eliminate
that
possibility
of
going
into
a
neighborhood
with
a
bus,
and
I
think
I
think
that
would
address
some
of
the
issues
that
councilor
dean
is
certainly
seeing
in
her
reward.
So
I
think
that's
that's
just
a.
I
think
a
simple
thing
that
we
can
do
so
that
we
send
a
message
to
those
teams.
P
N
N
It
really
shows
that
too
often
we're
you
know
reactive
or
rely
on
our
very
thinly
stretched
bylaw
officers
to
do
this
type
of
work
reactively,
but
instead
we're
coming
in
with
a
proactive
permit
system
put
in
place
that
is
going
to
pay
for
new
ftes
to
enforce
it
and
boost
revenue
for
auto
tourism
and
and
the
city
budget.
But
of
course
those
aren't
the
most
important
things.
N
T
F
F
T
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Well,
colleagues,
this
is
this
has
been
a
pretty
spirited
and,
I
think,
very
friendly
debate.
I
think
that
the
comments
that
were
made
by
councillor
moffat
really
were
taken
to
heart
by
by
everyone
here
today.
We
don't
want
to
discriminate
against
against
larger
families,
and
I
think
that
the
scenario
that
was
laid
out
by
councillor
dudas
also
kind
of
highlights
why
it's
important
that
that
we
do
look
at
ten.
T
I
also
really
appreciate
that
she
has
accepted
as
as
a
reasonable
compromise.
I
think
that
that
everyone
here
is
being
quite
reasonable
with
this
at
this
time.
I
would
encourage
everyone
to
support
the
report,
as
amended
with
the
friendly
amendment
coming
from
from
councillor
hubley
to
the
dean's
motion.
This
is
a
three-year
pilot.
Let's
give
this
a
try
and
and
see
how
it
works,
there's
nothing
stopping
sports
teams.
You
know
from
from
looking
at
two
or
three
different
properties
across
the
city.
T
I
certainly
understand
that
you
know
if
I
was
living
beside
a
10
bedroom
home.
How
disruptive
that
could
be
one
particular
anecdote
that
really
kind
of
rung.
True
to
me
was
you
know,
living
beside
a
residence
like
that
having
a
sports
team,
you
know
coming
in
for
a
weekend
and
then
having
them
all
get
up
at
six
o'clock
in
the
morning
to
go
for
a
run.
T
T
O
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
I'm
just
seeking
clarity,
because
it
seems
every
time
the
questions
asked
and
and
and
and
counselor
flurry
asked
it
again
today.
Can
you
own
a
home,
never
live
in.
It
spend
six
months
at
your
cottage
six
months
in
florida.
Can
you
rent
it
out
continuously
365
days
a
year
we
we
broke
during
the
committee
meeting
for
staff
to
go
off
and
consult
with
legal.
I
understood
at
the
end
of
that
meeting
that
the
answer
was
no,
that
couldn't
happen.
O
It
meant
it
was
your
home
that
you
lived
there
and
you
could
rent
it
from
time
to
time,
but
you
weren't
basically
giving
people
permission
to
open
a
hotel
down
the
street
in
a
residential
neighborhood.
This
morning
we
seem
to
have
gotten
a
different
answer
again
saying
that
in
fact
you
could
not.
You
could
rent
it
out
every
day,
365
days
a
year,
and
as
long
as
that
was
the
property
you
paid,
taxes
on
and
insured,
so
can
legal.
Please
weigh
in
again
because
my
understanding
from
legal
last
time
was
that
was
not
the
case.
O
Q
Q
F
F
O
Thank
you
for
that
clarity,
and-
and
I
hope
we
don't
say
anything
more
about
it
and
that's
the
last
word
on
the
record
on
it
that
that's
the
case,
because
again,
I
think
most
people
who
had
concerns.
I
know
people,
certainly
in
my
word.
They
had
concerns
that
had
had
a
shooting
in
my
ward,
they
when
they
asked
us
to
look
at
that
they
didn't
they
weren't
asking
us
to
allow
someone
as
essentially
to
have
a
hotel
on
their
street.
So
so
thank
you
for
the
clarity.
Thank
you
for
putting
that
on
the
record.
O
T
T
A
I'll
just
offer
some
comments.
First
of
all,
I'm
going
to
support
counselor
dean's
motion
sent
by
councillor
brockington,
and
I
thank
also
councillor
hubley
for
amending
the
dwelling
unit
be
limited
to
10
and
as
opposed
to
eight,
which
is
the
last
line
on
the
motion,
because
I
think,
as
most
members
of
council
have
indicated,
when
someone
invests
in
usually
their
single
largest
investment
in
their
life,
that's
their
home.
A
A
Obviously
airbnb
and
other
platforms
are
a
disrupter
and
they're
challenging
municipalities,
the
hotel
industry,
the
tourism
and
hospitality
industry,
and
I
think
what
we've
landed
on
is
a
reasonable
compromise
that
individuals
can
use
their
primary
residence
on
an
airbnb
platform,
but
we
have
to
put
in
some
reasonable
limits.
You
know
having
25
or
30
people
on
one
sports
team
moving
next
door
to
you
for
a
weekend.
A
So
I'd
encourage
members
to
vote
for
both
the
brockington
and
dean's
motion
and
then
the
main
report-
and
I
echo
what
many
colleagues
said-
thank
you
very
much
to
our
staff,
who
put
a
lot
of
work
into
this
and
it
took
a
long
time,
but
I
think
we've
landed
on
it
very
nicely.
So
there's
the
motion
in
front
of
you
and,
as
you
note,
the
last
line
was
amended
as
a
friendly
amendment
by
councillor
hubley
at
the
council
dean's
motion
to
ten.
So
on
the
motion.
A
A
J
Thank
you:

meeting
of

be
received
and
adopted
as
amended.
R
A
T
T
Instead,
they
have
asked
and
city
staff
have
agreed
to
pay
the
city
to
construct
and
design
the
park
so
I'll
go
straight
to
the
therefore
be
resolved
I'll
just
note
this
did
come
from
staff
and
I
am
fully
in
their
hands
if,
if
they
are
in
agreement
with
this,
so
therefore
be
it
resolved.
The
council
approves
the
following
amendments
to
the
report
to
be
reflected
in
the
zoning
by-law
amendment
to
be
enacted
by
council
document.
T
Two
details
of
recommended
zone
and
clause
six
be
amended
to
remove
the
following
details,
so
sections
six
and
if
you
can
continue
scrolling
six
would
be
replaced.
So
that
is
the
the
section
of
the
report
in
which
the
developer
would
build
the
park.
It
would
be
replaced
with
a
new
six.
The
following
provisions
will
replace
the
wording
in
section
16
of
part
19
of
the
zoning
bylaw
titled
320,
mcrae
avenue
and
315
tweetmeer
avenue
and
will
set
out
the
facility
services
and
matters
that
must
be
provided.
T
Being
1.5721
million
to
the
city,
indexed
upwardly
in
accordance
with
the
construction
price
index
calculated
from
the
date
of
the
new
section,
37
agreement
b,
the
benefits
to
be
secured
are
one:
a
cash
contribution
of
747
thousand
dollars,
600
into
award
15
specific
fund
for
pedestrian
cycling.
Connectivity
improvements,
including,
but
not
limited
to
lighting
along
pathways.
A
N
N
A
Right
just
a
question
to
staff:
I
don't
know
if
it's,
mr
willis,
some
time
ago
we
had
an
issue
with
a
mural
that
was
painted
with
the
owner's
permission
on
the
side
of
a
building
in
councillor
leepers
ward,
and
I
thought
we
were
going
to
try
to
simplify
that
process.
Is
the
process
simplification
just
to
bring
emotion
or
do
we
have
something
more
broad
reaching
that
we
don't
have
to
overly?
A
A
A
N
Yes,
thanks
very
much
mayor,
and
obviously
there
is
some
new
information
here
and
other
considerations.
It
is
a
timing
issue
and
appreciate
the
suspension
of
the
rules
to
consider
it.
The
provincial
government
has
communicated
they're
they're
now
going
to
be
implementing
some
form
of
paid
sick
leave
in
ontario,
and
the
topic
is
under
immediate
consideration.
N
N
It
is
based
on
full
weeks
of
missed
work
rather
than
days
of
missed
work,
leaving
workers
ineligible
if
they
miss
less
than
a
full
week,
and
it
requires
workers
to
apply
for
the
benefit
resulting
in
a
wait
for
period
for
payment
and
the
risk
of
their
application
being
denied.
And
whereas,
at
its
meeting
of
february,
8
2021,
the
ottawa
board
of
health
considered
two
reports
from
ottawa's
medical
officer
of
health.
N
On
the
subject
of
lessons
learned
to
date
from
the
kova
19
pandemic,
titled,
lessons
learned
working
with
long-term
care
homes
during
the
cocoa
19
pandemic
and
coven
19
pandemic
response.
Looking
ahead
and
building
back
better
and
whereas
both
reports
underlie
the
importance
of
staying
home
when
sick
in
order
to
prevent
the
transmission
of
infectious
illnesses
like
open
19,
particularly
as
it
pertains
to
workers
ability
to
stay
home
when
sick
without
fear
of
lost
wages
and
whereas
the
report,
titled
coven,
19,
pandemic
response.
N
Looking
ahead
and
building
back
better
makes
both
health
and
economic
arguments
in
support
of
paid
sick
leave
for
ontario's
workforce.
Noting
that
the
covet
19
pandemic
has
underlined
that
a
healthy
population
and
healthy
economy
go
hand
in
hand
and
that
differences
in
earning
power
and
job
security
directly
impact
individual
family
and
community
health.
Some
of
ottawa's
essential
workers
are
precariously
employed,
limiting
their
ability
to
stay
home
when
ill
and
employees
attending
work.
N
While
sick
can
have
a
ripple
effect
at
the
workplace,
including
transmitting
infectious
diseases,
increasing
their
risk
of
injury
and
decreasing
productivity,
which
can
ultimately
lead
to
increased
costs
to
employers.
And,
whereas,
at
its
meeting
of
february,
8th
2021,
the
board
of
health
for
the
city
of
ottawa,
health
unit
called
on
the
province
to
implement
paid
sick
day's
legislation
and
directed
its
chair
to
communicate.
N
And
whereas,
with
the
exception
of
a
relatively
small
number
of
federally
regulated
industries,
the
majority
of
workplaces
are
provincially
regulated,
making
it
foremost
the
jurisdiction
of
provinces
to
ensure
seamless
access
to
paid
sick
leave
for
workers,
and
whereas
both
council
and
the
city
of
ottawa
are
today
april.
28.
2021,
remembering
the
lives
of
workers
lost
and
injured
in
various
workplace.
Tragedies
on
this
national
day
of
mourning,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
ottawa
city
council
joined
the
ontario
big
city.
N
G
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
mr
mayor,
as
my
colleague,
councillor
dudas
and
and
myself,
and
then
with
your
staff
and
the
team.
We
work
together
with
the
economic
recovery
task
force
and
yeah.
That's
a
great
idea.
My
colleague
put
his
motion,
but
I'd
like
to
make
sure
there's
an
opportunity
for
the
ottawa
coalition
of
the
aaa,
be
the
you
know.
G
H
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
If
this
motion
was
for
a
temporary
sick
day
system
in
response
to
the
pandemic,
which
is
what
the
bulk
of
the
motion
talks
about,
then
I
can
fully
support
that
motion.
But
this
goes
far
beyond
that.
In
order
to
it,
what
it's
asking
us
to
do
is
request
that
a
permanent
10-day
a
year
sickly
program
be
enforced
on
all
employers
in
the
province,
and
my
concern
here
is:
we
need
to
consult
with
the
employers
before
doing
something
like
this.
H
So
I'd
like
the
mover
to
consider
adding
that
in
there
that
we
actually
get
some
feedback
from
local
employers,
let's
think
of
the
mom-and-pop
shops
that
have
one
two,
three
four
employees.
If
they
need
to
implement
a
sick
leave
program
in
there,
it's
going
to
have
dire
consequences
on
their
business
for
years
to
come.
So
there's
a
way
they
have
to
look
at
that
and
I
think
they
should
be
given
some
notice.
H
A
H
A
N
Yeah,
okay,
I
was
just
going
to
say
mayor.
I
agree
with
what
you
just
said
and
and
that's
that
direction
I
I
agree
with
that
direction.
I
also
should
just
mention
that,
before
the
board
of
health
considered
this
I
did
reach
out
to
okla
bia
okabia
and
talk
to
them.
Discuss
with
them
about
this
issue
as
well,
and
the
ontario
chamber
of
commerce
has
also
endorsed
this
on
businesses
in
ontario,
because
they
see
economic
benefits
as
well
as
health
benefits.
D
Oh,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
the
motion
and
to
have
it
in
front
of
us.
It
is
a
bit
difficult
to
even
consider
that
we
are
only
considering
this.
We
are
in
the
the
throws
of
a
third
wave
of
a
pandemic
that
is
affecting
people
in
this
province
more
than
any
other,
and
it
is
affecting
workers,
people
who
have
to
go
to
work
even
if
they
don't
feel
well.
D
D
D
D
We
know
had
this
been
in
place
at
the
beginning
of
this
pandemic.
We
would
not
have
the
number
of
infections
and
deaths
that
we
do
today.
We
know
that
it's
been
shown
to
us
time
and
time
again,
so
I
I
accept
that
we
should
ask
our
partners
absolutely
what
do
they
feel
about
it.
Cobia
the
ottawa,
labor
council,
chamber
of
commerce,
but
I
think
it's,
I
I'm
not
certain.
What
what
the
direction
to
then
tell
our
local
members
of
parliament
or
our
local
mpps
would
do.
The
letter
has
got
to
be
written.
D
D
So
I
would,
I
would
encourage
people
to
to
support
this
motion
so
that
we
join
with
other
citizens,
doing
the
right
thing
and
asking
the
province
not
to
not
to
add
to
the
federal
program
that
does
not
help
what
we
need
you
get
up
in
the
morning.
You
don't
feel
well,
you
stay
home
well
the
next
day
and
you
go,
but
you
are
not
at
risk
of
being
fired.
D
You
are
not
going
to
get
less
on
your
paycheck
and
for
people
who
live
from
paycheck
to
paycheck
a
day's
work.
Two
days
work.
Three
days
work
means
they
can't
put
food
on
their
on
the
table
for
their
kids.
They
can't
buy
their
kids,
the
raincoats
or
the
boots
they
need.
I
encourage
you
please.
This
is
the
right
way
to
go.
D
O
O
Council,
mckinney,
is
correct.
A
number
of
cities
have
already
endorsed
this.
The
science
provincial
science
table
has
endorsed
it.
The
medical
community
at
large
has
endorsed
it.
We
endorsed
it
at
a
previous
board
meeting
it's
you
know
it's!
It's
simple.
If
you've
got
something,
that's
communicable
if
you've
got
something,
that's
transmissible
and
you
go
into
a
workplace
where
you're
working
in
close
contact
with
people.
O
O
You
know
everybody
wants
to
think
that
this
is
going
to
be
over,
and
I
I
want
to
think
it's
going
to
be
over
as
well,
but,
let's
not
kid
ourselves.
This
could
happen
again
and
if
anything
good
comes
at
a
covet,
it
has
to
our
ability
to
learn
from
it
our
ability
to
put
in
protections
to
put
in
some
systems
that
will
help
us
avoid
this
catastrophic
situation
happening
again
to
the
degree
that
it's
happening
in
our
country
and
around
the
world,
and
this
is
a
simple
way
of
addressing
that.
O
This
is
a
way
of
putting
a
brick
in
the
wall
to
defend
ourselves
against
something
like
this
happening
again
in
the
in
in
the
long
term
and
in
the
short
term,
it's
going
to
help
the
people
who
are
out
there
working
every
day,
it's
going
to
help
them
stay
home
when
they're
not
well,
it's
going
to
help
protect
their
workplace,
their
families,
their
communities,
all
of
us.
So
I
can't
say
it
enough.
You
know,
frankly,
in
a
perfect
world,
this
would
have
been
in
place
a
long
time
ago.
O
O
P
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
want
to
thank
the
mover
and
the
secondary
for
bringing
this
forward,
and
I
appreciate
the
the
symbolism
that
this
is
being
done.
On
the
the
day
of
the
national
day
of
mourning
for
for
workers
who
have
been
killed
or
injured
on
the
job
that
day
was
started,
it
was
based
on
people
getting
killed
in
mines
and
factories
and
other
dangerous
places.
P
I
don't
think
we
saw
what
was
coming
down
the
line
and
how
we
could
we
could
see
deaths
and
injuries
or
permanent
conditions
from
a
pandemic,
and
that
is
where
people
are
putting
their
lives
on
the
line
and
that's
why
this
is
so
important
and
it's
preventable
it's
totally
preventable
if
people
can
have
a
little
time
to
get
better
they're,
avoiding
getting
other
people
sick.
It's
about
not
getting
other
people
sick
as
well
and
to
recover.
P
I
I
fully
support
this
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
we
we've
done
our
thing
with
banging
on
pots,
etc
and
saying
thank
you
to
essential
workers.
Let's
give
them
something
they
really
need,
and-
and
that's
that's
this-
to
give
them
some
time
off
to
get
better.
When
they
get
sick
so
not
to
get
other
people
sick,
thank
you.
D
Thanks,
mr
mayor,
I've
listened
carefully
to
what
everyone
else
has
said,
and
I
don't
disagree
with
any
of
you.
I
think
that
in
this
emergency
in
this
time,
it's
something
that
we
must
do
right
now,
while
we're
debating
this
at
queen's
park
they're
talking
about
the
same,
I
would
like
to
know
what
it
is
that
the
province
is
coming
out
with.
If
anybody
does
know,
please
let
us
know
before
we
vote,
because
I
hope
that
they're
taking
on
the
responsibility
of
paying
for
the
cost
of
it.
D
I
am
more
than
a
lot
concerned
for
the
businesses,
if
it's
them
that
have
to
bear
this
cost.
It's
easy
for
us
to
sit
back
and
say:
oh
well,
I
know
that
we
don't
say
oh
well,
but
when
we
have
an
organization
locally
like
a
cobia
that
speaks
to
thousands
of
our
businesses,
I
think
it's
like
close
to
seven
thousand
businesses
that
they
represent
every
day.
D
They
should
have
a
say
in
this.
You
know
I
have
a
very
small
business
decades
old
out
here
in
bar,
even
funny
to
say
something
decades
old
in
the
business
in
bar
haven.
But
it's
true-
and
I
thought
that
this
time
in
this
closed
down
and
it's
a
food
business
that
they
had
decided,
they
just
were
too
fatigued.
It's
very
small.
You
know
the
owners
are
there
and
maybe
for
staff
or
five
staff.
I
found
out
today
that
they
have
had
an
outbreak
of
their
very
small
staff.
D
Five
people
had
coveted
and
now
they're
going
to
be
reopening
they
didn't.
You
know
they
did
the
right
thing
they
closed
down.
I
mean
they
and
I
can
tell
you
they
have
been
so
careful
because
any
time
that
I've
been
there
I
mean
the
procedures
has
been
lined
up
outside.
You
know:
well,
spaced,
etc.
One
person
at
a
time
it's
a
small
space.
D
I
don't
know
how
we
can
expect
those
business
owners
to
do
this.
I
don't
know.
I
hope
that
the
in
in
this
emergency
time
that
the
all
ontarians
will
believe
it's
important
enough
to
cover
the
cost.
That's
what
I
really
hope
I
am
going
to
be
supporting
it
today.
As
I
said,
I
don't
disagree
with
anything
anyone
said,
but
I
really
think
that
it's
important
that
we
hope
that
they
will
be,
including
in
whatever
their
announcement
is
today
and
because
it
is
the
right
thing
to
do.
D
I
D
A
D
J
J
There
are
actions
in
my
opinion
that
the
provincial
government
can
make
concerning
public
health
measures
that
would
make
a
real
impact
and
providing
paid
sick
leave
to
workers
so
that
they
don't
have
to
go
to
work.
Sick
is
such
a
measure,
along
with
other
measures
such
as
vaccinating
all
essential
workers
and
vaccinating
people
who
live
in
infection
spots
hot
spots,
as
many
in
the
medical
profession
throughout
ontario
have
emphasized
over
the
past
several
weeks.
J
M
Thanks
mayor
just
a
question
to
you:
first,
are
we
going
to
vote
on
councillor
menard's
motion
and
accept
councillor
al-shanteri's
direction
at
the
same
time,
or
are
we
considering
sending
counselor
menard's
motion
as
directed
by
councillor
el
shantiri,
for
that
consultation
to
that
large
body
and
wait
to
get
back
their
feedback
or
are
we?
Are
we
going
to
do
both?
At
the
same
time.
A
M
Okay
and
on
the
direction
the
results
were
going
to
be
shared
with
our
mps
and
mpps.
Is
there
a
plan
to
send
a
memo
or
report
back
to
council?
Yes,
okay,
fair
enough?
Okay,
so
colleagues,
this
discussion,
sort
of
unveils
some
hypocrisy,
that's
been
going
on
the
last
year,
we
champion
the
essential
workers
who
have
been
keeping
us
moving
along
the
past
year
in
the
various
industries
that
we're
working
in
and
yet
we
don't
prioritize
their
vaccinations.
M
M
I
think
the
comments
just
to
flip
the
argument.
Real
quick
about
how
fragile
certain
economies
are
within
this
province
is,
is
a
very
real
concern
that
there
are
small
businesses
and
there
are
industries
that
are
still
functioning
but
may
still
fold
even
after
covid
leaves
us
and
there's
a
concern
in
many
small
business
communities
about
the
added
cost
of
providing
this
very
much
needed
benefit
to
workers.
I
think
from
a
public
policy
side,
particularly
for
public
health.
This
makes
sense.
M
We
want
people
who
are
sick
to
stay
home
and
get
better
and
protect
those
who
are
at
work
or
in
other
environments
from
not
getting
sick,
particularly
in
a
pandemic
that
makes
sense
and
if
they
can
have
the
protection
that
their
pay
will
be
maintained,
while
they
get
better
again
that
makes
sense.
But
if
I'm
a
small
business
owner,
my
question
will
be
well
who's
going
to
pay
for
that.
M
If
I'm
not
providing
that
benefit
or
provision.
Now
to
my
workers,
there
needs
to
be
some
some
immediate
reassurance,
whether
there's
a
provincial
pot
that
employers
will
apply
to
and
can
offset
those
those
expenses
when
they
give
their
employees
sick
leave.
But
we
shouldn't
be
debating
whether
or
not
sick
people
should
stay
home.
We
all
know
the
answer
to
that
question
is
yes.
M
M
M
P
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Let
me
just
start
by
saying:
I
totally
support
the
premise
that
we
have
to
have
paid
sick
leave
in
ontario.
It's
out.
You
know
the
science
is
irrefutable.
We
need
to
have
the
ability
for
workers
who
are
sick
to
stay
home
without
the
you
know,
the
worry
about
losing
money
from
their
paycheck.
P
So
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
going
to
be
a
top
up
to
the
federal
plan,
but
there
is
a
recognition
that
much
more
is
needed
and
I
will
tell
you
just
a
sec
that
I'm
told
a
thousand
dollars
a
week
for
four
weeks
fully
funded
by
the
province
now.
This
has
not
been
confirmed,
but
if
this
is
coming
in
then
this
is
exactly
what's
needed
right
now.
So
that
gives
me
some
hope
that
we
are
we're
get
on
the
right
track.
Eventually,
I
cannot
support
the
motion
as
as
it
stands
right
now.
P
I
think
we
do
you
know.
Hopefully
this
is
going
to
come
in,
but
we
have
to
consult
with
the
small
businesses
before
we
we,
we
vote
to
add
this
on
to
their
financial
burden.
Right
now,
especially,
you
know
a
year
into
a
pandemic,
so
I'm
I'm
holding
out
hope
that
what
I'm
being
told
that's
coming
out
of
queen's
park
today
will
be
the
answer
to
to
what
we're
all
concerned
about
and
I'll
leave
it
at
that
at
this
point
so
fingers
crossed
we
want
paid
sick
leave.
P
R
R
I
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I'll,
be
brief.
I
just
wanted
to
speak
in
support
of
the
motion.
You
know
this
pandemic
is
proving
to
be
very
wily
and
tricky
and
ever-changing
and
becoming
as
the
variants
of
concern
present
themselves
becoming
more
difficult
for
our
communities
and
the
death
toll
continues
to
rise,
and
we
have
learned
a
lot
about
the
pandemic.
I
Over
the
last
year,
we've
learned
a
lot
about
how
it
spreads
in
communities
and
the
areas
that
need
to
have
focus,
and
definitely
people
that
are
sick
need
to
stay
home,
and
I
have
great
sympathy
and
concern
for
businesses
and
the
well-being
of
businesses
in
our
community.
But
the
reality
is
health
has
to
come
first,
and
we
have
to
find
a
way
to
make
sure
that
people
are
sick,
have
the
resources
that
they
need
to
stay
home
and
be
well
to
protect
themselves,
their
families
and
the
broader
community.
I
And
that,
ultimately,
is
the
challenge
that
governments
and
decision
makers
have.
And
so
yes,
the
province
of
ontario
who's,
really
in
the
driver
seat
needs
to
find
a
way
to,
through
whatever
means,
allow
people
that
are
sick
to
stay
home
for
their
own
good
and
for
the
greater
good.
And
that's,
I
think,
ultimately,
what
this
motion
is
asking
all
of
us
to
support.
So
I
would
ask
my
colleagues
to
support
the
motion.
T
Please
I
don't
want
to
extend
the
amount
of
time
that
we're
taking
before
passing
this,
because
I
do
believe
that
we
have
broad
support
for
this.
I
all
I
just
wonder
if
the
10
person
outbreak
at
my
local
metro
in
combat
glenn
could
have
been
prevented
if
the
provincial
government
had
done
this
sooner.
T
N
Okay,
thanks
mayor
just
saying,
I
don't
think
we
can
ignore
the
issue.
We,
our
medical
officer
of
health,
our
board
of
health,
have
weighed
in
adding
to
the
course
of
voices
demanding
paid
sick
days
be
implemented
in
ontario,
especially
during
this
time,
and
I
see,
city
councils
across
the
province
have
called
for
this,
and
I
think
it's
important
that
this
isn't
something
we
just
say
it's
not
in
our
jurisdiction.
N
N
That's
why
groups
like
the
ontario
chamber
of
commerce
have
reversed
their
position
on
this,
though
you
may
think
it
will
cost
so
much
more
for
businesses.
The
facts
are
not
pointing
to
that,
and
so
during
a
pandemic,
the
economic
case
is
even
clearer
with
the
province,
hopefully
stepping
up
to
help
fund
this
businesses
shutting
down
because
someone
felt
they
had
to
come
to
work
sick
is
more
costly
than
allowing
them
to
take
a
day
to
heal
without
losing
income.
N
A
Great
thank
you
very
much
to
the
mover
and
the
secondary,
and
I
think
the
important
one
of
the
important
paragraphs
on
this
motion.
That's
different
from
the
last
motion
that
council
dealt
with
is
item
three
that
says,
develop
and
implement
the
necessary
funding
and
our
financial
supports
to
employers
when
their
employees
are
accessing
the
ten
paid
sick
days,
as
described
in
the
resolution
too.
A
Sadly,
sometime
this
week,
we
will
surpass
the
500
person
who's
died
in
ottawa
as
a
result
of
covet
19.
and
while
from
day
to
day,
we
might
see
a
little
tick
downward
on
some
of
our
numbers.
We're
still
in
the
fight
of
our
lives
really
for
the
people
of
not
just
ottawa
and
canada,
but
around
the
world.
You
see
the
tragedy,
that's
taking
place
in
india
right
now,
and
you
realize
how
serious
the
the
battle
is.
A
So
I
would
also
want
to
thank
councillors,
el
shantiri
and
dudas,
in
addition
to
councillor
menard
and
mckenney,
for
bringing
forward
the
direction
to
staff
that
there
be
some
degree
of
consultation
with
the
individuals
who
are
going
to
be
responsible
for
designing
the
program
and
implementing
it
at
the
grassroots
level.
Those
small
businesses
who,
quite
frankly,
are
suffering
tremendously
financially
and
their
own
mental
and
physical
well-being,
as
they
try
their
best
to
keep
their
door
open
for
curbside
service
or
delivery.
A
So
the
direction
of
staff
is
accepted
to
go
and
there
will
be
as
councilor
barkington
asked
report
back
to
council,
and
we
think
it's
important
that
at
least
the
local
decision
makers,
namely
the
mps
and
mpps,
be
aware
of
legitimate
concerns
and
support
for
paid
sick
leaves,
as
long
as
there
is
support
from
the
provincial
government.
So
on
the
motion
by
councillor
menard,
signed
by
councillor
mckenney
carried
dissent
by
shirelli
and
mian,
and
anyone
else.
