C
Good
morning,
mr.
mayor
and
colleagues,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
it
is
my
great
pleasure,
mr.
mayor,
to
introduce
to
you
a
member
of
the
West
cotton,
a
Glee
Club,
who
will
be
singing
the
national
anthem
today.
So
there
was
caught
in
glee.
Club
has
four
remember.
We
didn't
bring
them
August
this
morning.
Mr.
no
only
brought
25
of
them
and
it
is
directed
on
the
the
teacher
also

Jennifer
Britton
Jennifer
had
to
leave
home
6
o'clock
this
morning
to
get

City
Hall.
On

C
Remember
of
the
Greek
cup
of
sugar
from
grade
1
to
grade
8
student
meet
once
a
week
to
practice
different
song
leading
up
to
the
final
concert.
So
what
today
they're
going
to
sing
to
us,
the
national
anthem
and
I'm,
looking
forward
to
hear
from
them?
Mr.
mayor,
the
the
great
children
and
I
think
a
few
of
them,
not
even
from
this
world
here
with
us
this
morning,
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
our
Miss
Britton.
B
Well,
that
was
terrific.
Thank
you
very,
very
much
Celso
Center
for
inviting
these
special
guests
from
West
Carlton
and,
as
you
mentioned,
I
think
even
some
came
in
from
Stitz
Phil
shad
without
a
passport,
so
it's
great
to
see
no
wall
being
built
between
Statesville
and
West
Carlton
and
great
cooperation
they're
great,
a
great
addition
to
our
meeting
this
morning.

to
the
single

who
are
working
tirelessly

sometimes
don't
even
have
the
privilege
of
seeing
those
sons
graduate
to
the
contrary.
They
always
have
the
unfortunate
news
of
hearing
that
their
son

involved

a
crime
and
may
be
spending
many
years
of
his
life
behind

many
more
opportunities
not

to
receive
awards
but
to
sit
at
table
with
you
and
discuss
matters
that
are
pertinent
to
the
communities
that
I
serve
particularly
the
matter

This
morning
it
was
almost
a
year
ago
that
Danny
and
I
officially
launched
the
United
Way
campaign
as
co-chairs,
and
let
me
just
say
what
a
inspiring
and
momentous
year
it
has
been.
E
E
The
training
that
I
did
with
the
kids
of
the
Russell
Heights
QE
Center
for
my
half
marathon
during
the
Toronto
Marc
auto
race
weekend
in
supporting
hideaway
I,
was
running
with
kids
for
kids,
like
Caroline,
edwin
and
morgan,
who
rely
in
the
Russell
Heights
Community
House
in
Airway
Parker
in
Alta,
Vista,
Ward,
I
and
many
others
ran
the
race
so
that
these
kids
could
be
good
to
have
someone's,
certainly
safe,
to
go
to
learn
and
grow
experience.
Might
let
me
get
to
see.
A
G
Far
from
early-morning
workplace
launches
to
community
events
like
the
Gen
X
moves
fast
visiting
homework.
Clubs
around
the
city,
we've
had
a
lot
of
fun
doing
a
lot
of
really
good
work
together
this
year.
This
experience
is
certainly
show
me
the
need
that
exists
here
in
our
city
and
also
the
dedication
compassion
and
commitment
that
exists.
Some
of
those
who
want
to
help
make
our
neighborhoods
and
our
communities
stronger
together
for
more
toward
the
work
of
United
Way
can
be
seen
in
every
corner
of
the
community.
G
These
investments
are
Criss
crossing
our
city
and
are
there
to
help
our
fellow
neighbors
be
stronger
as
a
community
I'm
proud
of
our
accomplishments
during
the
campaign,
and
it's
an
honor
to
say
that
we
played
an
important
part
in
helping
United
Way
reach
at
school
to
change
the
lives
of
57,000
people
in
the
City
of
Ottawa.
This
year,
the
chief
and
I
wish
to
thank
the
city's
co-chairs,
Dan
Chaney
and
Lisa
Alera
for
leading
the
city's
United
Way
campaign.
G
E
So
now
it's
the
time
for
us
to
pass
on
the
torch.
The
two
people
that
are
taking
our
place
are
amazing
people

have
contributed

Mr.

B
N
You
mr.
mayor
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
brief
comment
on
the
main
item
and
then
I'll
just
have
a
brief
comment
on
the
motion
as
well
on
the
main
item.
Although
I
don't
sit
on
Transportation,
Committee
I
did
attend
the
meeting,
because
this
is
an
issue
of
great
interest
to
the
whole
city
of
Allah,
but
in
particular
residents
of
my
award
and
one
of
the
issues
which
I
raised
before
the
meeting
and
council
I
and
I
and
others
had
constructive
discussions
on
related
to
the
concerns
I
had
with
regard
to
the
southern
portal
portal.
N
Essentially
the
way
in
which
the
connection
between
the
tunnel
and
the
417
happens
on
the
south
end
I
was
encouraged
by
the
fact
that
the
committee
approved
the
language
that
I
have
put
forward
on
just
making
sure
that,
in
the
next
steps
were
looking
at
mitigation
measures,
modifications
to
that
portal
I
think
it
would
be
useful
to
look
again
at
whether
or
not
a
direct
connection
is
possible.
And
if
not,
what
are
the
other
modifications
which
can
be
put
forward?
N
So
I
just
want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
committee
for
passing
that
language
and
with
that
change,
I'm
confident
moving
ahead,
that
we
can
address
the
concerns
of
the
community
as
we
move
forward
on
the
tunnel
project
as
I
say
it's
an
important
project
for
the
whole
city
with
regard
to
councilor
hughley's
motion,
I.
Think
the
last
Clause
calling
on
staff
to
look
at
the
feasibility
of
banning
all
trucks
from
the
core
I
think
that's
an
excellent
idea.
N
O
Cba.
Thank
you
mr.
mayor
Jin,
on
the
report
that
was
discussed.
The
Transportation
Committee
page
5
of
the
report,
but
one-third
down
says
that
the
the
auto
River
has
five
interprovincial
bridges
and
that
we
expect
that
it's
expected
that,
in
spite
of
improvements
to
transit,
a
new
bridge
will
be
a
new
span
will
be
required
by
2031.
O
P
G
O
So
the
the
EA
that
is,
that
is
anticipated,
will
it
be
looking
at.
It
will,
of
course,
look
at
the
the
routes
that
were
looked
at
in
the
the
$750,000
report,
but
the
options
that
that
will
that
will
all
be
asked
about
as
part
of
the
as
part
of
the
fallout
of
the
EA,
be
it
the
extension
of
the
Vanier
Parkway
or
other
routes
for
a
tunnel
or
whatever.
O
J
We
go
mr.
Mehra,
the
the
EA
that
is
being
envisioned
here,
as
the
next
steps
is
purely
focused
on
the
downtown
traffic
tunnel,
the
issue
of
other
crossings.
Again,
that
would
be
a
federal
issue
for
them
to
address,
because
interprovincial
crossings
over
rivers
are
a
federal
under
federal
mandate.
So
that
would
be
a
separate
discussion
in.
O
J
O
J
J
J
Mr.
Mir,
the
it's,
the
EA
of
a
new
crossing,
but
the
reference
facto
will
have
to
be
part
of
several
steps.
We'd
have
to
go
through
confirm
that
work
with
the
the
federal
government,
the
NCC
and
the
two
provinces
of
mehness
ministries
of
transportation
to
pursue
that,
if
that
is
the
their
priority,.
O
Would
it
be,
would
it
be
something
that
the
the
department
would
contemplate
that
we
would
build
to
the
objective
being
and
and
I
recognize
the
issue?
My
colleagues
and
I
recognized
the
issue
of
truck
traffic
in
downtown
Ottawa.
Would
it
be
desirable
to
to
look
at
building
that
span
earlier
rather
than
later,
since
it's
necessary
for
2030
one?
Would
it
be
desirable
to
to
look
at
that
span
earlier,
rather
than
later.
P
Mr.
mayor,
the
very
good
questions,
although
the
challenges
all
of
those
are
speculative
until
you
do
the
refresh
of
the
transportation
master
plan
and
that's
as
Vivi
explained
kicks
in
once,
all
the
appeals
are
done
in
the
appeals
are
not
done.
You'd
be
crystal
balling,
making
a
bunch
of
assumptions,
and
you
could
end
up
tripping
over
yourself
in
terms
of
that
so
and
it
would
not
be
staffs
recommendation
to
start
doing
that
speculation.
In
terms
of
that,
we
would
recommend
you
wait
for
your
refresh
of
the
TMP.
O
The
the
current
master
plan
to
be
refreshed
in
2020
is
is
two
years
old
and
it
does
state
that
a
new
span
will
be
needed
by
2031
and
by
the
time
we
get
shovels
in
the
ground
on
this,
this
EA
will
take
years
and
then
financing
so
I'd.
Perhaps
we
could
discuss
it
a
little
bit
more
and
see
what
what
else
is
how
we
could
avoid
you
use
the
term
and
mr.
O
B
M
You
miss
thang
1st
Mariner,
see
I
just
want
to
confirm
that
the
motion
that
was
just
tabled
this
morning,
we
didn't
have
that
in
front
of
us
at
committee.
Have
you
had
a
chance
to
consider
it
from
a
staff
perspective,
and
can
you
work
with
it
or
there's
some
tweaks?
You
need
to
it
just
not
saying
I'm
against
and
also
just
want
to
make
sure
it's
it's
something
that
staff
were
able
to
deliver
on
before
we
vote.
G
You,
mr.
mark,
basically,
the
issue
you're
dealing
with
today
is
an
issue.
That's
meant
we've
been
dealing
with
for
decades.
This
is
not
only
about
the
tunnel
issue,
it's
about
the
bridge
issue
and
if
you
remember,
there's
been
a
lot
of
studies.
Environmental
assessments
done
on
different
options
from
her
from
the
branches
and
right
back
to
the
grabber
report
in
the
1960s.
G
As
a
council,
we
felt
quite
strongly
that
we
needed
to
find
a
better
option
in
the
bridge,
and
that
is
why
we
are
and
decided
to
look
at
Natonal
option.
This
is
not
something
new.
It
seems
since
10
years
being
on,
council
we've
been
dealing
with
this
fall
and
that
moving
forward
when
an
environmental
assessment
is
the,
but
we
will
see
when
an
environmental
assessment
is
the
total
total
actions
that
will
be
required
to
go
forward
with
a
tunnel
option.
G
If
we
do
not
go
through
to
a
tunnel
option,
then
we
will
be
right
back
at
the
table
discussing
the
bridge
issue
again
and
there's
been
four
sevens
on
the
bridge.
Every
time
it's
been
kennel
Island
recently,
I
do
not
wish
to
go
back
to
that
debate.
I
believe
that
the
tunnel
option
is
the
way
the
goal
for
the
future,
and
you
know.
G
Basically,
we
need
to
find
a
solution
once
and
for
all
for
the
trucks
on
King
Edward,
Canyon
Road
trucks
does
not
work,
so
we
need
to
be
proactive
as
where
I'm
in
proactive
on
many
falls
on
this
council,
so
I
will
be
supporting
the
motion
and
I
also
do
support
to
the
councillor
blames
motion
to
study
about
keeping
trucks
completely
off
of
King
Edward,
except
for
Nintendo
and
and
except
for
delivery
to
local
streets,
Thank
You.
Mr.
mayor.
K
You,
mr.
mayor,
but
we've
had
this
truck,
this
is
the
said
problem
for
a
long
time,
and
even
if
we
do
this
study
I've
been
told
it'll
take
about
four
years,
and
if
you
decide
to
build
it
then
and
have
the
money
it's
going
to
be
eight
to
ten
years
before
you
could
ever
get
a
tunnel
built
and
operational.
So
we
still
have
the
truck
problem.
Mr.
K
mayor
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
by
doing
this
I
don't
think
we
should
shell
the
problem
of
what
we
already
have
and
I
think
there
does
need
to
be
some
actions
taken
whether
it
is
like
when
I
see
a
truck
full
of
lumber
coming
and
going
through
the
downtown
to
cross
the
bridge.
There's
no
reason
why
that
truck.
K
Couldn't
we
said
you
can't
go
through
here,
they
have
to
go
further
up
the
valley,
which
is
where
they're
coming
from
in
the
first
place,
I
think
we
should
be
taking
a
look
at
our
turnit
of
ways
of
getting
at
least
some
of
the
truck
traffic
that
is
not
designed
for
the
urban
area
of
Ottawa
at
all
to
cross
at
locations
closer
to.
Where
they're
actually
coming
from
even
though
then
they'll
have
to
go
on
a
well,
it
isn't
quite
as
nice
of
going
through
Ontario.
K
That's
not
that's
their
problem,
not
ours,
and
we
do
have
to
do
something,
but
otherwise
this
problem
is
only
going
to
get
worse.
The
city
is
growing,
so
many
more
trucks
and
more
things,
and
over
the
next
ten
years,
I,
don't
think
that's
fair
to
have
that
problem.
Staying
there
so
I,
don't
know
whether
that
this
could
something
I
just
want
to
make
it
as
a
suggestion
that
we
looked
into
in
the
future.
Mr.
mayor
that
way,
I
think
we
should
do
a
study
of
alternatives
that
could
reduce
the
existing
truck
traffic.
K
That's
going
through
that
area.
Now,
while
we're
doing
this
study
in
determining
whether
we
can
go
ahead
with
it
in
the
future,
because
that
depends
on
funding
and
I've
been
told.
This
does
not
interfere
with
existing
priorities,
such
as
as
the
LRT
program,
which
will
be
going
as
the
program
is
for
it
eventually
to
go
to
Canadian
Tire
place,
but
there
is
some
unlimited
amounts
of
money
for
all
of
these
programs
and
it's
so
it's
going
to
be
difficult
for
future
councils,
I
think
to
as
well
as
now
to
deal
with
all
of
this.
K
What
we've
done
so
far
when
we
improve
King
Edward
a
little
bit
it
made
a
little
bit
easier
on
King
over,
but
getting
to
King.
Edward
is
not
very
great
and
it's
still
a
very
dangerous
situation
on
King
Edward
and
to
live
without
for
the
eight
to
eight
to
ten
years
and
to
take
no
actions
at
all.
It's
not
smart.
There
are
some
other
bridges
that
could
be
used
for
some
of
the
truck
traffic.
K
There
are
pup's
alternatives
up
the
valley
or
down
the
valley,
and
I
would
like
to
see
some
of
that
work
going
on
in
the
future.
So
just
raising
this
as
a
point,
because
I
don't
want
to
say
we
solved
the
problem
because
we're
looking
into
a
tunnel
we
haven't
solved.
The
problem
is
still
there.
Thank
you.
Q
You
mr.
mayor
just
I,
know,
I
sat
on
a
Transportation
Committee
and
we've
done
a
lot
of
conversation
offered
this
tunnel
and
the
EA
and
I
just
want
all
so
echo
my
colleagues,
councillor
Manette
and
your
leadership
on
this
at
least.
Let's
move
on
and
do
something
and
I
know
I
understand
the
environmental
studies.
Gonna
cost
us
some
money.
I
just
want
to
go
on
record
and
then
to
making
sure
the
assurance
of
this
ei
study
the
money
that
we're
going
to
spend
on
it.
Q
It's
not
going
to
delay
any
project
and
it's
going
to
be
an
issue
any
other
commitment.
The
city's
done
with
a
massive
transportation
plan
to
making
sure
that
we
have
enough
money
and
not
a
stuff,
delayed
and
delayed.
As
we
know,
the
already
we
have
the
delay
on
MTP
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
there
is
an
assurance
that
this
money
is
going
to
be
not
reflecting
or
delaying
any
project
and
that
will
be
and
I
think.
P
L
L
We
we
do
dig
in
and
Sandy
Ale
is
called
Sandy
Hill
for
a
reason
and
there's
risks
with
moving
forward
with
a
complicated
plan
and
for
half
the
cost.
We
can
get
an
interprofessional
bridge
that
will
deal
with
the
traffic
problem
with
the
truck
problem
downtown
and
would
deal
with
the
future
forecasting
and
capacity
issues
that
we
have
on
the
existing
bridges,
but
we'll
also
have
the
benefit
of
pathways
cycling
and
pedestrian
connectivity
as
well.
So
for
half
that
cost.
L
We
can
do
something-
that's
more
sensible,
that's
more
feasible
from
an
engineering
perspective,
rather
than
do
what
is
politically
convenient
and
there's
an
opportunity
to
do
that
with
new
representatives
at
the
provincial
and
federal
levels
in
venue.
So
you
know
I'd
like
to
usually
be
a
team
player,
but
I
just
can't
support
this.
It's
just
not
the
sensible
and
right
thing
to
do
so.
I'll
be
dissenting
on
this
item.
R
J
R
B
Well,
I.
Let
me
just
comment
on
that,
because,
obviously
it's
predicated
on
a
third,
a
third,
a
third
and
if
one
of
the
partners
or
both
of
the
partners
don't
come
forward.
We
don't
have
the
money
to
do
it,
so
it's
either
finding
the
money
somewhere
else
and
do
you
know
how
to
present,
which
I
fundamentally
disagree
with
I
think
this
is
such
a
big
project
and
I'll
speak
to
it.
In
my
closing
comments
that
we
need
all
three
partners
at
the
table:
okay,.
R
So
what
question
that
counselor
kuchi
asked
concerns
me
a
bit,
because
it
was
always
my
understanding
that
environmental
assessment
also
weighed
other
options
that,
through
the
environmental
process,
you
basically
have
to
prove
that
what
is
being
proposed
is
the
best
option
and
the
environmental
assessment
just
doesn't
just
look
at
the
environmental
impact,
but
that
other
potentially
viable
options
are
going
to
be
considered
and
through
that
a
you
bleed
or
you
hammer
out
all
those
options.
But
I
heard
today:
that's
not
the
case.
J
Moon,
the
IEA
through
the
EA
Act,
we
defined
the
scope
of
it
and
then
you
could
look
at
the
options
based
on
the
problem.
That's
identified
so
in
this
case
it's
the
problem
of
truck
traffic
and
the
potential
to
put
it
into
a
tunnel.
So
that
would
be
the
scope
of
the
EA.
So
we
would
look
at
what
a
corridor
has
been
identified
from
this
feasibility
study.
So
the
work
that
was
done
in
this
feasibility
will
feed
into
the
next
stage
of
the
EA
was
for
the
bridge,
studying
that
that
was
defined.
J
The
problem
was
a
new
interprovincial
crossings
and
that
was
defined
by
the
province
and
the
federal
governments.
So
they
looked
at
options
across
the
city
across
inaudible
River.
There
were
10
corridors
that
were
examined,
so
we
can
scope
our
EA
to
address
an
issue
and
that's
for
this
particular
EA.
It's
about
the
the
tunnel
through
the
downtown,
but.
R
If
I
take
a
step
back,
I
think
we
all
acknowledge,
there's
a
problem
with
heavy
trucks
in
the
downtown
core.
Maybe
we
all
don't
agree
whether
or
not
you
need
to
proceed
with
a
tunnel,
but
as
a
member
of
Council
and
I
raised
this
at
committee,
I
need
a
better
understanding
of
what
all
the
viable
options
are.
R
I
asked
for
information
I
received
a
report
back
from
you
that
looked
at
the
EAS
for
the
bridges
but
I,
don't
know
what
else
has
been
looked
at
as
far
as
time:
restrictions
or
an
elevated
roadway
or
an
elevated
highway
rather
than
a
tunnel,
and
so
my
concern
is
this:
EA
will
proceed.
You'll
come
back
with
much
more
details
about
how
we
do
it,
the
feasibility
of
a
truck
tunnel.
But
when
does
this
council
weigh
all
the
other
potential
options,
because
the
previous
speaker
said
the
bridge
option
can
alleviate
that
program.
R
P
So
mr.
mayor
I,
I
think
I
have
to
ask
the
question:
are
we
talking
bridge
crossing?
Are
we
talking
to
tunnel
the
report
before
you
deals
with
the
truck
tunnel
and
it
listed
all
the
options
that
Miss
Qi
and
the
experts
walk
through
happy
to
follow
up
in
terms
of
sub
assumptions
within
those
assumptions?
But
this
is
the
my
response.
Early
on
is
I,
think
we're
mixing
a
river
crossing
with
a
truck
tunnel
so
I
just
if
we
want
to
talk
bridge
crossings.
That's
not
what
this
report
is
about.
P
This
is
about
the
mandate
that
we're
given
in
terms
of
luck
of
the
truck
tunnel
feasibility,
and
we
followed
all
the
rules
of
the
environmental
assessment,
and
we
can
certainly
debrief
you
on
all
the
details
that
you
know
even
further
than
what's
in
the
report.
But
I
can
assure
you
that
the
environment
assessment
process
or
the
the
the
study
process
was
followed
through,
as
required
by
his
Chi
and
the
professionals
that
we
hired
I.
R
Understand
that
the
scope
of
the
EA
that
we're
debating
right
now
talks
about
a
tunnel
to
alleviate
the
truck
traffic.
But
what
I'm
saying
is,
if
you
take
one
step
back,
if
you
put
yourself
in
my
shoes
and
from
what
I've
heard
from
my
constituents,
the
concern
is:
they
want
to
get
handcuffed
that,
when
this
EA
is
finished,
counsel
will
have,
in
their
opinion,
a
viable
option
that
the
only
solution
possible
will
be
to
use
that
truck
tunnel
being
a
fairly
new
member
of
counsel.
R
I
put
my
support
today
in
doing
an
EA
for
an
underground
truck
tunnel
I'm,
not
convinced
that
we've
let
out
other
possibilities,
and
so
that's
why
I
can't
support
moving
forward
with
an
eh
they
on
the
truck
tunnel,
because
there
could
very
well
be
other
options
and
I
believe
the
bridge
is
another
viable
option,
but
that
doesn't
mean
I'm,
convinced
that
the
bridge
is
because
I
think
there
are
other
possibilities
that
still
need
to
be
discussed.
So
that's
the
dilemma
that
I'm,
having
so
I
mean
if
the
EA
goes
forward.
R
C
C
Now,
in
discussing
this
with
the
mayor,
the
mayor
indicated
that
there
is
a
possibility
of
getting
the
upper
levels
of
government
to
fund
a
much
greater
share,
maybe
even
up
to
a
hundred
percent
of
the
cost
of
the
bridge.
Sorry
of
the
tunnel.
Well,
if,
if
that
is
the
case,
if
there
is
some
chance
of
that,
despite
the
fact
that
I
wouldn't
support
the
tunnel
at
this
point,
I
will
support
this
phase
of
the
inquiry
and
in
the
EA,
because
it
does
make
sense
to
invest
that
much
money
into
it.
C
If
there
is
a
potential
for
the
upper
levels
of
government
living
up
to
their
responsibilities
in
this
area
to
a
significantly
higher
amount
than
a
third,
a
third
a
third.
So
although
I,
certainly
not
guaranteeing
that
I
would
support
the
tunnel
when
it
comes
time
to
look
at
that.
I
will
support
this
level
of
it,
because
I
think
it
makes
sense.
I
I
So
that
leads
me
to
this
whole
question
of
the
toll
motion.
That's
here
today
we
heard
the
mayor
say
at
the
committee
last
week
that
the
tolls
would
go
for
the
maintenance
and
operation
general
maintenance
of
this
tunnel.
But
if
it's
an
upper
tier
Road,
why
would
we
be
maintaining
it
anyway?
So
I
I'm
just
trying
to
follow
the
dots
on
this?
P
Mr.
mayor,
that's
a
good
question.
Now:
there's
there's
two
streams
to
that:
there's
the!
What
what
are
you
building
and
then
the
how
on
the
execution,
both
design
build,
maintain
operate.
What
we're
going
to
do
is
bring
you
the
information,
so
you
go
into
that
eyes
wide
open
and
there
I
am
confident
that
there
will
be
different
options
and
scenarios
that
you're
going
to
want
to
consider
and
all
that,
including
the
total
aspect
of
it.
Why.
I
Would
we,
as
a
city,
be
looking
at
that
like?
Why
would
we
let
out
of
the
gate
say
we
want
to
like?
Oh,
where
are
we
agreeing
with
what
the
mayor
said
committee,
which
was
this?
The
tools
would
be
simply
for
the
maintenance
of
it
or
would
you
see
the
tools
is
being
consideration
of
the
construction
of
it.
P
I
believe
the
motion
directs
us
to
look
at
the
impacts
of
tolls
and
that's
what
we
want
to
bring
to
you
would
bring
you
that
information.
So
again,
you
can
be
informed
to
make
the
right
decision.
There
are
various
scenarios.
You
could
consider
under
that
that
what
the
mayor,
acknowledged
and
said
could
be
a
good
option
or
a
viable
option
to
pursue
and
we'll
bring
bring
all
the
scenarios
forward
for
you.
So.
P
G
J
Mr.
man,
the
it
was
in
the
EA
phase,
they
reached
a
point
where
they
developed
a
corridor.
They
had
to
find
the
corridor
and
they
were
working
on
the
functional
plan
of
that
corridor
and
where
it
stopped
was
that
that
went
out
for
public
consultation
and
the
next
step
would
have
been
to
take
the
issues
and
mitigate
the
those
issues
through
the
next
step
of
the
design
and.
G
G
G
J
The
TMP
looked
at
the
transportation
network
across
the
city
based
on
demand
and
forecasted
demand
and
based
on
information
from
the
origin
destination
survey.
So
it
pointed
out
that,
to
the
end
of
this
planning
horizon
to
2031,
there
would
be
a
need
for
another
crossing,
and
basically
that
is
just
to
give
an
indication
of
where
we're
headed.
This
would
all
have
to
be
reviewed.
Each
time
we
do
a
refresh
of
the
master
plan,
I.
G
Get
that
I
guess
might
put.
The
point
was
councilor
kuchi
asked
if
the
position
of
the
department
is
that
we
still
need
a
crossing
by
2031,
and
the
answer
was
that
speculative
and
so
I'm
wondering
if
everything
in
the
TMP
is
now
speculative,
it's
only
two
years
old
right.
It
was
based
on
assumptions
when
we
passed
it.
The
only
things
that
have
changed
are
the
things
that
we've
built
so
far,
which
is
not
quite
much
given
that
we're
only
two
years
into
it.
So
I'm
just
wondering
is
every
project,
that's
forecasted
as
needed.
J
It's
it's
based
on
analysis
and,
and
it
was
over
a
20
year
time
frame,
so
things
are
further
out-
will
need
to
be
reviewed
to
see
that
still
a
consistent
assumption,
and
this
master
plan
is
also
an
active,
dynamic
document,
so
we're
we're
taking
in
all
sorts
of
input.
The
growth
is
a
consideration
where
developments
taking
place
is
another
consideration.
So
all
this
come
into
place,
so
I
would
not
agree
that
it's
all
speculative
in
our
transportation
master
plan
so.
G
Just
the
need
for
interprovincial
crossing
is
speculative
I,
guess
I'm,
trying
to
understand.
If
what
we
said
two
years
ago
is
still
true
or
not
right.
If
we're
two
years
ago,
we
said
we
should
be
planning
for
thinking
of
the
knee
fur
and
in
every
and
interprovincial
crossing
by
2031,
which
I
agree
is
still
quite
a
long
way
away.
Why
is
that
now,
only
two
years
later,
no
speculative,
that
we'll
still
need
that
so.
P
Everything
that
staff
put
in
that
report
was
the
best
information
they
had
at
the
time
and
it's
a
forward-looking
document.
I
responded
that
into
that
question
from
councilor
couch
a,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
variables
in
this
bridge
discussion
that
has
you've
heard
over
the
many
many
many
many
years
and
for
staff
to
sit
here
and
say
that
that
is
100%
bankable
that
it
you
will
need
that.
I
cannot
give
you
that
assurance.
P
So
no,
not
everything
in
the
and
the
TMP
is
speculative
and
no
not
the
TMP
is
up,
but
a
lot
of
things
happen
over
a
decade
or
15
years
and
with
respect
to
the
bridge
crossings.
There's
been
a
lot
of
dialogues,
as
you
know,
and
for
staff
to
sit
here
and
say
that
that
is
an
absolute
right
now
with
what
we
know.
I
cannot
give
you
that
guarantee.
Q
G
I
guess
I
don't
want
to
guarantee
it
just
it.
It
makes
me
question
than
a
project
in
our
TMP
that
we
say
is
needed
for
28
28.
If
that
is
now
speculative,
because
it's
still
so
far
away,
even
though
it's
in
the
Affordable
framework
like
I,
guess
it
just
it
calls
into
question
all
of
our
longer-term
projects.
P
Actually,
it
depends
because
some
are
so
obvious,
they're
right
in
front
of
you
and
the
data
supports
that
decision,
and
some
of
them
are
again
at
that
point
in
time
what
you
had
and
then
what
you
shaped
that
plan
for
so
I
think
you
would
agree.
Councilor,
there's
a
bunch
of
projects
in
there
that
you
don't
need
any
further
analysis
that
they're
there
they're
needed
it
and
it
depends
on
as
she
talked
about
the
data
that
feeds
all
those
projects.
G
S
S
I
think
it
would
be
I
think
we
have
the
evidence
to
show
how
effective
that
really
is.
It
saves
a
lot
of
time
and
money
on
both
sides.
We've
got
people
that
are
inside
the
tent
that
actually
are
leading
different
departments,
the
staff,
the
counselors,
the
local
folks,
and
it
makes
you
better
able
to
maneuver
faster
and
when
necessary.
So
I
was
thinking
about
moving
such
a
motion
today,
but
I
really
think
it
is
premature.
We
need
to
see
whether
we
get
the
funding
first.
S
As
the
mayor
said,
when
councilor
brockington
was
asking,
are
we
going
to
go
forward
with
this?
If
we
don't
get
the
partnership
and
the
mayor
was
very
clear
and
saying
we
don't
have
the
money
to
do
that,
and
that
would
not
be
where
he
would
go.
So
I
am
comfortable
that
once
we
do
have
the
funding
that
we
will
have
that
process,
which
has
been
proven
very,
very
successful
in
all
of
our
major
policy
pieces,
since
actually
the
transportation
master
plan,
I
think
is
where
it
started
and
the
official
plan
and
the
development
charges
well.
A
M
Some
are
speaking
of
you
know
what
other
options
are
on
the
table
I
I
would
share
this.
Is
that
there's
an
overall
frustration
on
behalf
of
the
community
and
and
business
community
on
behalf
the
resident,
but
also
of
the
business
community,
that
there's
been
40
years
of
study
for
that
corridor?
There's
been
14
bridges
and
14
crossings
that
have
been
looked
at.
Those
reports
are
available,
but
we
could
not
get
five
levels
of
government
to
agree.
We
could
not
get
five
levels
of
government
to
agree
in.
That
was
why
there
was
no.
M
There
was
no
proceeding
on
the
bridge
portion
at
kettle.
Island
the
province
removed
their
support,
and
so
so
did
our
support
follow.
So
now
we
work
closely
at
the
time
we
had
five
levels
of
government.
Now
we
have
two:
this
is
an
Ottawa
issue.
That's
an
Ottawa
solution,
too
we're
working
closely
with
the
province
on
the
feasibility
study.
I
want
to
thank
Vivian,
her
team
on
the
report.
I
think
it's
really
well
thought
through
it's.
The
analysis
was
complete
and
and
now
we're
in
a
position
where
the
province
isn't
surprised
by
the
findings.
M
M
Addressed
the
the
overall
theme
for
the
next
steps,
which
the
first
point
I'd
like
to
summarize
them
by
saying
that
the
entrances
of
the
tunnel
off
the
MacDonald
calcio
bridge
be
looked
at
same
thing
with
the
Overbrook
connection
to
minimize
the
impacts
on
community.
The
second
point
was
really
looking
at
the
existing
truck
routes
through
a
downtown
and
what
an
infrastructure
like
that
could
mean
in
terms
of
further
restrictions
overall,
and
the
third
point
was
the
March
28
2011
report,
specifically
looking
at
the
future
of
King
Edward
once
that
infrastructure
is
built
and
again
I'm.
M
Supportive
of
today's
motion
from
from
councilors
oubli
I
would
just
speak
of
two
elements
of
that,
though,
the
toll
portion
is
really
much
further
than
what
we're
asked
to
look
at
today.
I
personally
believe
that
that
infrastructure
should
be
a
provincial
one.
I
believe
that
it
is
a
provincial
mandate
to
connect
the
400
I
ways
to
an
intra
provincial
Crossing.
M
A
B
Thank
you
very
much
calcium
FC
Costa
like
to
offer
us
some
comments
on
this
particular
proposal
as
before.
First
of
all,
Thank
You,
councillor,
hubely
and
Moffat
for
the
thoughtful
suggestion.
With
respect
to
your
motion,
we
as
staff
last
term
of
council,
explore
the
feasibility
of
a
truck
tiller
between
the
McAuliffe
koichi
bridge
and
the
417.
That's
the
mandate
that
we
gave
staff
and
I
thank
Vivi
and
her
team
and
mr.
Mahoney
and
his
team.
That's
what
they
set
out
to
do
was
a
Valda
Mondeo
Kelson.
Additionally,
as.
A
B
Today,
we're
being
asked
to
take
the
next
logical
step,
which
is
one
to
take
a
detailed
environmental
assessment
that
would
provide
the
City
of
Ottawa
with
a
much
clearer
sense
of
how
much
such
a
tunnel
would
cost
and
the
specific
routing,
though
some
were
walking
today
at
the
price
tag
for
a
project
that
could
be
built
many
years
down
the
road
now
as
we're
in
the
final
stages
of
negotiating
stage,
two
of
LRT.
Let's
remember
a
couple
of
facts
six
years
ago,
I
would
suggest
to
you.
B
A
B
Be
up
and
running,
we
saw
the
way
to
go
until
final
completion,
but
I
do
our
ability
to
get
things
done
as
a
city
is
increasing
between
now
and
twenty
26.
As
an
example,
over
fifty
billion
dollars
will
be
spent
on
transportation
and
transit
infrastructure
projects
in
the
Greater
Toronto
and
Hamilton
area,
including
the
replacement
of
the
Gardiner
Expressway.
B
The
most
recent
estimate
to
fix
the
crumbling
Gardiner
Expressway
alone
is
over
1
billion
dollars
and
during
that
same
time,
window
of
time,
the
Government
of
Canada
will
spend
close
to
five
billion
dollars
to
replace
the
Champlain
Bridge
in
Montreal
and
billions
more
to
build
a
second
crossing
to
get
goods
across
the
Windsor
Detroit
trade
corridor.
So
the
next
10
to
15
years
will
see
historic
and
transformative
infrastructure
investments
in
Ottawa,
Ontario
and
other
parts
of
Canada
as
government's
act
on
the
need
to
invest
for
the
long
term
and
at
the
same
time
create
jobs.
B
This
is
just
the
EA
request:
what's
your
alternative,
it's
either
a
bridge
or
a
tunnel.
It's
not
a
gondola!
It's
not
attaching
wings
on
trucks,
it's
a
bridge
or
a
tunnel,
and
we've
said
no
time
and
time
again
to
the
bridge,
Kettle
Island,
farther
east
and
Beacon
Hill
serval
or
in
Orleans,
and
it's
clear
that
the
City
of
Ottawa,
the
province
of
Ontario
and
the
people
of
Ottawa
generally
have
rejected
that
idea.
Shikaka
do
prove
all
sambala,
ecology,
I.
B
Is
not
about
the
long
term
investment
of
paying
for
the
tunnel
today,
I'm
seeking
your
support
to
allow
me,
as
head
of
council,
to
seek
funding
from
the
province
of
Ontario
and
from
the
Government
of
Canada
to
equally
share
the
cost
of
the
environmental
assessment,
because
I
truly
believe
that
they
do
have
a
stake
in
this,
as
I
believe
councillor
flurry
said,
there's
a
provincial
obligation
to
connect,
inter
provincial
routes,
to
the
400
series
highways
and
obviously
because
of
the
vast
majority.
All
of
these
trucks
are
coming
from
a
different
province.
B
There's
a
federal
responsibility
as
well
and
I.
Look
at
projects
like
the
Champlain
Bridge,
there's
no,
inter
provincial
connectivity
there,
but
the
federal
government's
at
the
table
supporting
that
project,
and
this
EA
will
give
us
the
data.
We
need
some
time
in
2019
or
20
to
decide
whether
or
not
we
want
to
continue
exploring
this
option.
So
some
have
said
well.
Why
are
we
wasting
this
money
on
this
this
process?
Well,
because
you
have
to
walk
before
you
can
run,
we
have
to
do
the
EA
in
order
to
find
out
what
the
true
cost
is.
B
B
That
particular
neighborhood,
in
fact,
I,
believe
that
we
have
an
obligation
as
a
council
to
do
so
so
I
thank
members
for
their
constructive
comments
and
input.
We
have
a
motion
by
councillor
cube
Lee
seconded
by
councillor
Moffat,
on
the
motion
carried
on
the
report,
as
amendment
carried
to
set
all
right,
yeas
and
nays
have
been
calls
on
the
full
report.
As
amendment.

You,
mr.
mayor,
and
they
did
when
vice
vice
chair
deputy
chair,
a
deputy
mayor
Manette,
was
in
the
chair
and
I
think
it
was
well-received.
Certainly,
the
local
councillors
are
interested
in
that
and
we've
seen
how
successful
sponsor
groups
have
been
since
we've
incorporated
them
so
I.
Thank
you
for
that
opportunity.
Thank.
B
You
for
your
initiative,
lifted
from
the
book
consent
agenda,
is
item
number
L
on
public
transit
infrastructure
funding.
I've
asked
the
treasurer
and
general
manager
of
corporate
services
to
provide
us
with
an
overview
of
how
the
city's
response
to
the
federal
transit
infrastructure
program
was
developed
and
then
opened
it
up
to
questions.
It's
similar
Thank.
H
You,
mr.
mayor,
so
most
of
you
will
remember
that
last
March,
when
the
federal
government
announced
a
budget,
they
announced
that
they
were
going
to
be.
They
had
identified
sixty
billion
dollars
over
ten
years
nationally
to
be
spent
in
priority,
including
public
transit,
social
infrastructure
and
green
infrastructure.
Shortly
after
that,
the
budget
was
announced.
We
as
staff,
who
got
together
to
start
thinking
about
what
would
we
put
forward
as
projects
when
in
the
criteria
for
what
was
being
considered
would
be
announced?
We
knew
there
was
going
to
be
for
the
public
transit
fund.
H
H
We
basically
refined
that
list
and
worked
on
it,
but
we
never
had
any
criteria
and
on
July
25th
we
had
a
phone
call
from
the
province
who
the
money,
as,
of
course,
is
typical,
with
the
federal
government
has
to
go
to
the
province
and
then
to
the
municipalities.
It
doesn't
go
directly
to
us.
The
province
contacted
us
to
request
that
we
put
together
or
provide
them
with
a
list
in
basically
a
three
day
turnaround
time.
H
The
reason
for
the
list
was
the
federal
government
wanted
to
sign
the
agreement
with
the
province
of
Ontario,
and
they
had
requested
that
50
percent
of
the
funds
that
they
were
transferring
to
the
province
of
Ontario
have
identified
projects
with
it.
So
the
province
approached
the
city
of
Toronto.
They
approached
Ottawa
and
a
couple
of
other
municipalities
to
accumulate
a
cumulative
Lee
made
up
50%
of
the
funding
of
the
initial
allocation.
So
using
the
criteria
they
established
and
the
criteria
were
a
little
bit
different
than
we
had
imagined.
H
They
would
be
first
of
all,
we
knew
it
had
to
be
transit
and
when
we
had
thought
there
would
be
active
transportation
on
there
and
that
was
confirmed,
but
the
active
transportation
has
to
be
linked
to
transit,
can't
be
active
transportation
that
has
no
linkages
to
either
a
a
transit
station
or
transit
way.
The
second
thing
was
that
they
wanted
the
the
works
have
to
be
completed
by
March
31st
of
2018,
so
that
really
reduce
the
amount
of
projects
that
we
had
up
on
the
list
because
of
the
time
frame.
H
So
the
only
exception
to
that
was
the
phase
two
Light
Rail,
which
we
had
already
identified
in
the
2016
budget
as
requiring
federal
funding,
but
everything
else
had
to
be
incremental
spending
and
we
have
to
attest
for
that
and
they
will
audit
for
it
over
the
life
of
this
agreement.
So
we
put
together
our
list.
H
Our
list
was
made
up
of
all
of
the
plans
and
processes
and
projects
that
you
have
seen
before
through
the
transportation
master
plan,
the
transit
master
plan,
the
cycling,
pedestrian
master
plans
through
the
budget
forecasts
that
were
there
before
plus
things
that
we
knew
we
were
going
to
have
to
add
in
the
2017
budget
as
a
result
of
Confederation
line.
So
we
looked
at
all
of
those
projects
applied
the
criteria,
and
that
is
the
list
that
is
in
front
of
you
today.
H
Our
allocation
from
the
federal
government
is
a
hundred
and
fifty
five
point:
nine
million
dollars
and
that's
what
this
list
represents
the
minister
of
infrastructure
minister.
So
he
has
signed
off
on
this
list.
So
if
there
are
substitutions,
we
will
have
to
go
back
and
ask
for
those
they
are
now
in
the
process
of
asking
all
the
other
161
municipalities
who
are
receiving
money
to
submit
their
project
lists.
So
I
think
if
we
go
back
at
this
point
in
time
and
ask
for
substitutions
are
getting
a
contribution.
Agreement
with
them
will
be
delayed.
H
B
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
staff,
because
I
know
how
hard
they
worked
on
this
and
I
met
with
the
minister
yesterday.
As
a
matter
of
fact
who
was
very
complimentary
about
the
types
of
projects
that
we
have
included
in
this,
this
list
that
have
a
direct
connection
to
transit,
so
appreciate
all
of
the
extra
work
in
the
depths
of
the
summer
to
get
this
list
prepared.
Councillor
Dean's.
I
Thank
you
and
mr.
Marin.
Let
me
I
just
start
by
expressing
how
very
beneficial
I
think
it
is
to
have
upper
two
governments
who
are
actually
willing
to
participate
in
funding
a
public
infrastructure,
and
so
my
goal
in
lifting
this
item
today
is
not
to
hold
up
the
process
or
to
any
way
impede
it.
Obviously
we're
not
going
to
look
a
gift
horse
in
the
mouth,
we're
very
happy
to
have
partners
that
are
willing
to
fund
that.
But,
having
said
that
and
I
understand
that
there
was
a
very
tight
turnaround.
I
There
is
not
a
lot
of
information
here
that
even
informs
me
now
what
exactly
we're
doing
and
where
these
funds
are
coming
from,
where
they're
going
and
how
it
affects
our
current
budgets.
So
I
do
have
a
lot
of
questions
both
about
the
process
and
also
about
the
content.
So
just
starting
with
process
I
know,
you
said
it
was
a
three
day
turnaround,
but
did
it
ever
occur
to
you
that
we
all
have
email
and
that
you
could
have
at
least
sent
a
list
and
said
we
have
a
tight
turnaround.
I
H
Mr.
mayor,
we
were
in
discussions
with
the
mayor's
office
on
this.
The
process
that
we
actually
ended
up
following
was
rather
iterative.
We
supplied
a
list
to
the
province.
We
thought
this
list
initially
was
going
to
be
just
indicative
of
where
we
wanted
to
spend
the
money.
That
council
would
in
fact,
have
a
full,
an
opportunity
to
look
at
that
list
and
and
review
it
and
question
it,
and
we
would
have
the
normal
person
debate
that
we
have
on
these
types
of
issues.
H
What
happened
was
is
when
we
provided
our
first
list
to
the
province
and
said
this
is
indicative
council
still
going
to
review
it.
They
came
back
to
us
and
asked
us
to
basically
dot
every
I
and
cross
every
T.
It
became
it
moved
from
being
an
indicative
list
to
being
a
definitive
list.
We
were
even
out
to
the
point
where
we
had
the
original
list
we
submitted.
We
were
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
over
allocation.
They
asked
us
to
come
back
and
bring
it
in
within
the
allocation.
H
They
asked
us
to
to
justify
every
project
that
it
was
linked
to
transit,
so
this
reiterative
process
I,
would
not
have
wanted
to
send
out
the
first
list
to
you,
because
the
criteria
we
were
I'm
guessing
I
have
to
say
we
misinterpreted
what
the
provincial
government
wanted
from
us
initially,
but
it
became
clear
as
the
list
kept
on
coming
back
to
us
with
questions
inquiries
about
why
we
hadn't
filled
in
all
the
geographic
information.
Why
was
this
project?
How
did
it
link
to
transit?
Could
we
demonstrate
that
this
was
all
incremental?
H
It
moved
very
quickly
within
that
timeframe,
from
being
just
indicative
and
that's
why
we
didn't
that's
why
we
didn't
talk
to
the
rest
of
Council
at
that
time,
because
we
thought
it
was
indicative
and
by
the
time
we
found
out
it
wasn't.
The
deadline
was
already
there,
so
the
decision
was
made.
We
would
bring
it
to
fedko.
H
I
Okay
but
I
mean
the
problem
with
the
process
is
going
to
fed,
go,
are
coming
to
council.
We're
basically
told
you
can't
change
it
because
you'll
be
at
the
bottom
of
the
list
of
you
do
so
you
know.
Take
it
or
leave
it
is.
Is
the
choice
that
this
council
has
and
I
understand
that,
but
I
do
think
from
midterm
governance
perspective.
I
We
need
to
look
at
putting
some
rules
around
how
councils
inform
because
the
Board
of
Directors,
a
corporation
city
of
Ottawa,
is
24
people,
it's
not
just,
and
when
it
comes
to
us
at
green,
tacitly
to
spend
one
hundred
and
fifty
five
point
nine
million
dollars
of
our
money.
We
should
at
least
have
some
more
say
than
than
a
rubber
stamp
and
that's
in
terms
of
process.
I
have
a
real
problem
with
that,
but
let's
move
on
I
did
send
some
questions
to
mr.
I
Moser
appreciate
getting
the
answers
to
those,
but
in
some
ways
is
still
not
very
informative.
I
was,
for
example,
asking
about
the
details
of
funding
envelopes
that
are
included
in
here,
and
one
of
them
was
about
multiple
multi
use
pathway,
renewal
program.
It's
five
million
dollars
in
total
and
I
was
just
asking
simple
question
where
the
green,
where
a
pathway
system
and
my
award
be
included
in
that
the
answer.
Was
we
don't
know
yet,
because
we
haven't
finalized
those
lists,
so
my
question
is:
will
counsel,
at
least
at
that
level?
M
Know
we
have
a
biggie
of
a
list
of
that
as
what
we
say
in
the
there's
once
I
provided
two
chair
Dean's
that
we're
still
evolving
you
that
list,
most
of
it
I
think,
would
be
covered
off
in
the
in
the
budget.
That's
coming
forward!
It's
coming
very
quickly
in
terms
of
the
budget
process.
I
think
we
would
I
think
I
know
we'll
be
identifying
those
project
in
there,
but
you
know
we
can
certainly
put
a
call
out
to
to
councillors
if
they
you.
I
I
very
much
think
councillors
would
like
to
have
some
say
in
those
line
items.
So
if
you
can
make
that
happen,
that
would
be
great.
I
also
want
to
have
a
question
about
the
money
identified
for
Phase.
Two
and
part
of
it
is
the
money
for
preliminary
engineering
work,
90
million
dollars
so
I
recall
at
fedko
we
approved
a
sole
source
contract
for
Phase,
two
LRT
in
the
amount
of
sixty
million
dollars
so
source
to
the
RTG
group.
So
now
there's
90
million
dollars
for
Phase
two
engineering.
So
how
does
that
square
we
approved
sixty?
I
M
60
million
dollars
is
an
estimate
for
the
preliminary
engineering,
as
well
as
some
of
the
early
activities
associated
with
stage
2.
That
is
a
part
of
the
total
budget.
Back
in
the
2016
budget,
the
council
approved
40
million
dollars
toward
all
stage
2
activities
above
and
beyond.
Material
engineering,
and
the
estimated
budget
for
2017
was
47
million.
M
I
M
Mr.
mayor,
that
50%
funding
contribution
toward
the
ninety
million
dollar
on
the
part
of
the
federal
government
is
yes
their
contribution.
We
still
expect
the
provincial
government
to
make
their
one-third
share
of
those
total.
Ninety
million
dollar
costs
for
the
overall
State
Street
budget.
To
answer
your
earlier
question,
the
ninety
million
dollars
is
part
of
the
overall
three
billion
dollar
capital
program
to
deliver
stage
two.
So
in
a
sense,
those
eligible
costs
from
the
present
is
actually
slightly
higher.
M
Short,
it's
better
than
what
we
were
expecting
for
their
portion
of
the
ninety
million
dollars,
so
the
federal
government
will
pay
half
of
the
ninety
million
dollars
or
up
to
a
half
in
terms
of
eligible
costs.
We
are
still
expecting
the
province
as
they
indicated
last
July
in
their
funding
announcement
to
contribute
one
third
of
eligible
costs
towards
the
overall
Stage
two
program.
That
90
million
is
part
of
that
program.
I
H
Mr.
Mira,
none
of
these
projects
are
completed
with
this.
We
have
to
actually
prove
incrementality
to
the
federal
government
in
order
to
get
this
funding,
so
none
of
this
work
can
be
completed.
I
think
you
might
be
referring
to
the
Tunney's
bus
loop,
you're
thinking
that's
completed,
and
my
understanding
is
is
that
the
project
we've
put
forward
is
additional
work
there.
It's
not
the
interim
work,
that's
already
been
completed.
So
is
this
putting
money
back
into
our
coffers
in
for
those
projects,
for
example,
that
mr.
H
swale
was
just
referring
to
where
we
now
have
a
larger
federal
contribution
than
we
were
anticipating?
Those
do
actually
provide
us
with
a
little
bit
of
relief,
but
we
have
added
projects
on
here
to
be
funded
from
the
federal
government.
The
example
I
would
give
you
is.
We
have
added
on
here,
I
think
it's
15
or
17
new
buses,
so
those
were
not
in
your
in
the
forecast.
H
Those
have
been
added
on
to
basically
use
up
the
room
and
to
allow
us
to
live
up
to
a
commitment
we
had
to
fund
buses
in
growth
areas,
so
the
savings
that
we've
actually
had
from
projects
like
stage
two
of
light
rail
are
actually
being
used
to
fund
our
share
of
the
new
projects
that
were
put
on
this
list.
So
the
end
result
is
that
we
in
fact
will
rule
recommending
that
you
use
debt
financing
for
our
share.
H
As
an
interim
measure,
only
we
will
refinance
that
in
the
years
that
the
budgets
would
actually
be
coming
forward
to
you
to
be
approved,
and
we
anticipates
that
other
debt
that
we
are
asking
to
be
authorized
right
now
will
actually
only
have
to
issue
ten
million
of
it,
so
everything
else
is
being
is
being
offset
by
savings
in
other
projects.
Okay,.
I
Thank
you
for
that
answer.
I'm
just
wondering
in
a
memo
I
received
from
Steve
clips
I
was
told
that
four
and
a
half
million
dollars
from
the
PTI
F
fund
would
be
allocated
back
to
our
contingency
fund.
So
I
guess
a
couple
questions.
How
does
that
support
the
the
criteria
that
were
given
to
us
by
the
province
and
then
in
a
memo
from
mr.
Moser
I
received
this
week?
He
said
the
number
is
actually
four
point:
seven
five.
So
what
is
the
number
and
how
does
it
meet
the
criteria.
H
The
number
would
be
the
number
of
the
four
point:
seven
five
for
the
contingency
and
what
we
have
done
is
because
there's
a
number
of
works
that
have
to
be
advanced
in
light
rail
in
stage
one
that
we
didn't
have.
We
would
either
use
contingency
forward
or
we
would
add
it
into
the
2017
budget.
These
works.
The
contingency
fund
was
actually
being
used
almost
as
a
bit
of
a
loan.
H
We
would
use
the
money
from
there
temporarily
to
allow
the
works
to
advance,
but
with
the
announcement
of
this
particular
fund
and
the
fact
that
it
was
going
back
to
April
1st
of
2016
for
expenditures-
and
it
was
all
linked
to
transit
those
particular
projects.
We
took
the
opportunity
to
have
them
as
in
instead
of
having
them
100%,
funded
by
City
dollars
from
contingency
to
have
them
half
funded
by
the
federal
government
and
then
the
rest
will
either
be
contingency
or
it'll,
be
identified
in
the
2017
budget.
I.
F
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
just
have
a
question
about
the
Prince
of
Wales
bridge
and
when
we
removed
it
as
our
priority
in
favor
of
clay,
which
I
fully
supported,
say
that
out
because
that's
a
fantastic
link
but
the
Prince
of
Wales
bridge
as
a
pedestrian
and
cycling
link
is
still
part
of
our
transportation
master
plan
priorities
and
I.
F
Just
I
was
surprised
that
you
know
didn't
make
it
onto
this
list
it
it
does
link
to
transit,
it's
especially
from
from
the
other
side
of
the
river
it
links
nicely
to
transit
for
what
could
be
potentially
thousands.
You
know
getting
consonants
of
cars
from
crossing
well
booth,
Street,
Bridge
and
others.
Other
bridges
into
into
the
downtown
I
know
that
at
the
time
the
cost
had
escalated.
F
It
was
approximately
10
million
and
at
the
time
there
wasn't
much
interest
from
the
NCC
and
and
Gatineau,
but
those
times
have
changed,
certainly
with
respect
to
a
new
federal
government.
So
I
just
wonder
why
Prince
of
Wales
wasn't
included
in
in
the
list,
given
that
it
is
still
a
priority
in
our
TMP
for
pedestrian
and
cycling
linkages.
F
P
F
Okay,
well
thanks
for
that
I,
because
I
just
asked
them
do.
We
have
like
an
estimate
of
what
the
timing
would
look
like.
I
think
that
you
know
it
is
still
a
priority
if
we
could
somehow
you
know,
because
for
right
whale
we've
got
pedestrian
and
cycling
links
east-west
from
the
south,
but
we
really
have
nothing
from
the
north,
and
you
know
our
discussion
around.
You
know
truck
tunnels
and
and
the
traffic
patterns
in
the
downtown.
F
That
also
includes
you
know
thousands
of
cars
that
come
over,
that
we've
seen
with
other
good
cycling
infrastructure
that
we
can
remove.
You
know
in
the
summer
months,
certainly
thousands
of
vehicle
trips
per
day
and
even
in
the
winter
hundreds
so
I,
just
wonder
what
the
timing
would
be
so
that
we
are
prepared
for
you
know
if
we
have
another
opportunity,
I
think
that
we
really
should
be
prepared
to
ask
for
funding
for
Prince
of
Wales
Bridge.
P
T
You
mayor
the
just
to
quickly
echo
the
comments
made
by
both
councillors,
Dean's
and
McKenney.
Had
there
been
some
kind
of
an
email
going
out
with
respect
to
councillors.
Wish
lists
for
new-money
Prince
of
Wales
certainly
would
have
been
one
of
the
things
that
the
at
the
top
of
my
list,
the
discussion
with
respect
to
how
we're
going
to
get
that
built
I,
would
love
to
know
that
there's
going
to
be
some
kind
of
a
shovel-ready
plan.
T
So
when
an
opportunity
arises
like
this
again
that
we're
able
to
take
advantage
of
it,
I
still
don't
quite
understand
how
that
ten
million
dollar
ten
and
a
half
million
dollar
figure
was
arrived
at
for
the
Prince
of
Wales.
Bridge
would
be
good
to
take
a
look
at
those
studies.
This
morning,
though,
I
did
want
to
take
a
look
at
one
line
item
that
will
help
me
understand,
maybe
a
bit
better
about
the
incrementality
of
the
the
projects
that
are
on
this
list.
T
That's
the
transportation
demand
management,
30
million
dollars
worth
for
stage,
1
detours,
the
the
detours,
as
many
of
us
have
noted,
who
are
cycling,
walking
and
taking
the
bus
through
that
corridor
are
working
very
well.
There
are
multi-use
paths
that
have
been
added
onto
the
project.
What
more
is
to
come?
What
is
the
incremental
work
to
be
done
on
multi-user?
Sorry,
on
the
your
TDM,
particularly
as
listed
in
the
document
between
Tony's
pasture
and
lebreton.
P
P
This
is
the
best
estimate
that
we
were
able
to
pull
out
in
terms
of
not
only
what
and
what's
left
to
do,
but
also,
what's
required
to
sustain
it
and
because
major
in
terms
of
some
of
the
adjustments
that
we
did,
we
also
accelerated
some
of
the
work
you'll
recall
in
terms
of
earlier
closures
and
so
forth.
So
staff
have
put
forward
an
estimate
for
the
treasurer
to
again
mitigate
any
future
cost.
So
this
is
the
arch,
our
portion
of
the
50%
portion
of
the
costs
of
all
the
extra
work.
P
That's
been
done
on
the
detours
to
make
sure
that
we
didn't
have
some
of
the
disastrous
results
that
people
were
forecasting
like
on
Scott,
Street
and
so
forth.
So
we
had
great
estimates
going
into
this,
and
we
put
you
know
the
best
teams
together
to
hold
those
twenty
detours
together.
So
this
is
the
estimate
of
what's
been
done
and
what
will
be
needed
to
be
sustained
to
2018
would.
T
It
be
possible
to
get
that
outlook
of
what
more
work
is
yet
to
be
done.
That
is
incremental
to
the
work
that
has
already
been
done
because,
again,
you
know
the
document
specifically
representing
pasture
to
lebreton
detour
as
something
where
there
is
incremental
work
to
be
done.
I
would
love
to
get
some
insight
into
into
what
that
is
going
to
be
and
I.
Think
there's
a
I
still
don't
quite
understand
how
some
of
this
work
will
be
incremental.
T
We
know
during
the
procurement
phase
of
the
various
bidders
the
proponents
were
invited
to
tell
the
city
how
they
would
manage
the
the
TDM
through
the
construction
I
think
it's
it
should
have
been
included
in
the
original
contract.
There's
a
really
good
lesson
here
for
us
in
terms
of
Phase
two
to
make
sure
that
we
have
which
detour
plans
that
they
have
well
thought-through,
that
we
don't
have
to
scramble
after
a
contract
has
been
signed
to
add
safe
connections
for
pedestrians.
T
P
Merrick
just
comment
on
that:
I
just
actually
RTG
and
design
team
did
a
phenomenal
job
in
forecasting.
The
detours
I
think
it'll
be
a
model
for
other
municipalities,
but
to
make
it
very
real
for
you,
councillor,
you'll
recall
in
giving
your
community
assurances
that
the
Scott
Street
detours
were
going
to
work
even
better
than
what
was
planned.
We
stepped
up
and
gave
your
community
innuendo
users
things
that
were
never
contemplated,
such
as
additional
bus
stops,
additional
service
and
and
I
think
we
can
all
agree
that
that
was
the
best
thing
for
the
community.
P
Nobody
with
even
the
best
transit
mines
or
best
construction
detour
mines
in
North
America
could
have
forecasted
some
of
those
things
that
came
from
the
community,
which
is
the
grassroots
ideas
that
we
want.
So
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
walk
you
through
all
the
ideas
your
community
brought
forward.
People
like
mr.
genes
and
so
forth.
Mr.
deeds
that
brought
forward
which
brought
some
that
incrementality
to
which
we
would
all
agree,
is
the
right
thing,
because
we
wanted
to
keep
things
very
operationally,
sound
and
sustainable
and
for
those
communities
that
were
receiving
some
disruption.
T
I
guess
my
point
would
be
those
discussions
all
took
place,
post
contract
signing
moving
into
phase
2
a
discussion
before
we
signed
the
contract
would
be
well
in
order
to
ensure
that
those
additional
measures
don't
have
to
be
incremental
to
what
we're
paying
the
contractor
to
do
in
the
first
place.
So
I
think
a
good
lesson
for
us
there
in
Phase,
two
still
struggling
to
understand
the
the
20
projects.
T
E
For
watching
mr.
mayor,
a
number
of
my
colleagues
are
asking
quite
important
questions
clarifying
details
about
some
of
the
items
that
are
in
this
list,
and
that
is
important
to
do
and
I
know
those
those
answers
are
of
either
being
provider
or
will
to
us,
but
I
quite
simply
wanted
to
speak
out
in
support
of
the
process
that
was
followed
that
got
us
here.
E
E
So
when
the
City
of
Ottawa
was
given
an
extraordinary
opportunity
to
put
together
a
list
for
funding
on
short
notice
and
with
very
recently
defined
criteria-
and
it's
at
that
point
that
I
expect
our
senior
staff
to
do
their
work
and
take
the
list
that
we've
given
them
and
put
together
that
list
that
matches
and
fits
those
criterion
and
that's
exactly
what
I
saw
happening.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
doing
that.
I'm
sure
it
was
a
very
difficult
job.
E
I,
don't
see
this
as
an
opportunity
to
go
back
to
Council
and
ask
if
we
want
to
change
our
wish
lists.
I,
don't
see
this
as
being
about
wish
lists.
This
was
about
plans
that
we've
put
together
and
although
some
items
on
those
lists
might
have
been
reordered
because
the
criterion
of
this
infrastructure
project
said
no
we're
not
taking
those
and
we
are
taking
these
and
we
went
looking
at
how
we
match
those-
that's
really
the
work
that
was
done
so
newsflash
when
I
am
on
vacation
in
summer.
You
can't
reach
me.
I.
E
Don't
have
reception
of
any
kind
at
my
cottage
that
when
I'm
on
a
bike,
tour
I
don't
carry
any
kind
of
electronics.
So
you
know
some
of
us
approach
our
vacations
that
way
and
I'm
glad
to
know
that
when
important
decisions
need
to
be
taken
of
this
kind,
that
it
can
be
done
and
we
don't
have
to
call
all
of
Council
back
I
didn't
see
this
as
a
case
where
any
sort
of
emergency
council
meeting
might
have
been
necessary.
So
that's
all
I
feel
I
need
to
say
here.
E
M
You,
mr.
mayor,
it's
just
a
few
comments.
It's
my
understanding
and
and
mr.
mank
oneor,
mr.
Moser,
or
whoever
can
jump
in
if
I've
got
this
wrong.
But
all
the
projects
that
went
forward
on
that
list
are
projects
that
we've
already
discussed
a
committee
or
council
that
we've
already
proved
in
some
way,
whether
it's
for
the
TMP
or
other
policies
and
plans
at
the
city.
So
there's
nothing
new
on
this
list
and
and
I
frankly,
I
want
to
thank
staff
because
you
had
an
extremely
short
timeline.
M
You
had
a
dense
amount
of
criteria,
complicated
grouping
of
criteria
to
deal
with
to
determine
which,
out
of
the
many
many
projects,
we've
got
in
the
queue
in
the
city,
what
fit
into
the
box?
What
didn't
fit
into
the
box
to
make
sure
that
we
got
the
utmost
we
could
out
of
the
funding
envelope
available.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
time
that
you
put
in
you
know
we
are
City
Council,
but
we're
not
engineers
we're
not
traffic
experts,
we're
not
accountant
as
well.
M
M
There
was
no
queue-jumping,
there
was
no
cherry-picking
of
projects.
There
was
no.
This
is
why
this
should
be
in
my
ward,
or
that
should
be
in
that
ward.
What
it
was
was
an
exercise
in
city
building.
It
was
looking
at
what
was
on
the
plate.
What
was
available
for
the
funding?
What
operate
made
the
most
sense,
and
then
staff
went
ahead
and
made
that
happen.
M
We
tried
to
make
that
or
they
tried
to
make
that
happen
$100,000
more
than
they
were
entitled
to,
and
they
were
slapped
down
for
that,
but
they
made
it
happen
so
that
the
most
money
that
was
available
to
the
city
was
was
received
by
the
city.
So
we
could
go
forward
with
those
projects
that,
as
a
council,
as
a
committee,
we
had
already
discussed,
we
had
already
looked
at
and
we
had
already
approved
so
again
working
on
a
very
short
timeline,
with
a
very
complex
set
of
criteria,
two
different
funding
partners.
M
If
you
will
that
they
had
to
deal
with
I
think
that
they
did
an
excellent
job
I.
Thank
them
for
that,
and
again,
I
really
see
this
as
a
citywide
opportunity
that
they
took
full
advantage
of
for
the
residents
of
Ottawa
and
I.
Think
they've
served
as
well
over
the
summer
in
doing
this
I.
Thank
them
for
that
and
I
look
forward
to
these
projects
coming
forward
to
fruition.
C
You
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
I.
Think
it's
a
it's
a
good
meaning
today
and
as
a
historical
to
his
council,
Schenker
and
I
were
going
to
agree
on
something
very
much
so
one
of
the
item
and
that's
a
question
to
to
our
staff
and
I,
don't
think
there's
a
weekend.
We
don't
got
the
police
involved
or
city
involved
with
the
cyclists
in
the
rural
area
and
I,
see
here
you're
cycling
routes
in
this
location.
So
we're
talking
about
two
million
dollar
investment.
C
J
Yes,
that
rule
pathways,
one
is
for
paving
shoulders
in
the
rural
area
and
but
the
projects
would
need
also
to
connect
somehow
to
transit.
So
we
have
some
a
candidate
project
for
that
and
it's
the
old
montreal
Road
that
wouldn't
connect
to
trim
Road.
So
that
is
that
that's
the
account
for
them
or
the
project
for
that.
Okay,.
C
N
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and,
like
others,
very
happy
to
receive
a
gift
of
one
hundred
and
fifty
five
point:
nine
million.
It
doesn't
happen
every
day,
so
useful
to
understand
a
little
bit
about
how
this
is
going
to
affect
the
corporation's
finance
is
moving
ahead,
and
so
my
first
question,
which
I
think
the
treasurer
answered
in
part,
was
given
that
the
parameters
of
the
agreement
or
payment
up
to
fifty
percent
for
each
of
these
projects,
I
think
the
treasurer
said
that
the
idea
would
be
since
these
were
not
incremental,
meaning.
N
We
weren't
anticipating
spending
this
money
that
we're
going
to
take
on
additional
debt
in
order
to
pay
up
to
the
50
percent.
Share
that
we're
going
to
have
to
provide
if
the
province
is
not
kicking
in.
So
it
was
that
correct
that
the
idea
would
be
between
now
and
March
1st
2018
whenever
we
need
to
pay
the
50
percent
on
these
projects
that
will
take
additional
debt
up
to
the
hundred
fifty
five
nine.
H
Mr.
Mehra,
actually,
that's
not
what
I
said
what
I
said
was
we're
putting
death
on
these
projects
right
now
to
allow
them
to
advance,
because
your
bylaws
basically
say
you
have
to
have
the
full
funding
authority
in
place
before
you
can
start
capital
works.
What
we
will
be
doing,
though,
is
between
now
and
basically
2019.
We
will
be
refinancing
that
debt
with
the
projects
when
the
work
was
supposed
to
happen.
For
example,
in
I'll,
take
cycling
path,
renewal.
In
the
next
four
years,
you
were
going
to
spend
eight
million
dollars.
H
The
federal
government
has
now
given
you
an
additional
1.5
million,
so
in
the
next
four
years,
you're
actually
going
to
spend
9.5
million
dollars,
but
some
of
that
work
would
have
been
done
in
2018
or
2019
is
now
being
advanced
in
those
years.
You
will
not
be
doing
more
work.
You
in
fact
be
doing.
We
will
be
taking
the
money
that
she
would
have
approved
for
those
works
in
20,
18
and
19
and
using
it
to
substitute
for
the
debt.
H
N
H
Will
include
that
particular
project
in
the
2017
budget
and
we
will
show
the
sources
of
financing
for
it
at
that
time.
Part
of
it
will
be
development
charges,
because
these
are
growth
buses.
We
did
not
put
any
development
charges
on
it
at
this
point
in
time
that
we
will,
in
the
budget
the
other
portion,
the
actual
the
cash
portion
of
it
will
come
from
other
transit
projects
where
we
now
have
federal
funding
on
which
we
hadn't
anticipated,
which
frees
up
some
of
our
money
to
use
towards
those
buses.
N
Thank
you.
I
want
to
come
back
to
something
councilor
leaper
asked,
which
was
the
TDM
measures
during
phase
1
of
LRT
construction
and
just
trying
to
square
the
answers
that
he
got
to
that
question
with
the
idea
that
these
are
not
to
be
incremental
funds,
and
so
I
guess.
The
question
is,
with
the
50
million
that
the
feds
gave
us
for
bus
the
choice
during
LRT
construction
had
it
not
being
for
that
contribution.
What
would
the
difference
on
the
ground
have
been.
N
H
H
H
H
This
is
to
be
incremental
spending,
so
we
will
be
spending
30
million
more
on
those
detours
than
we
had
originally
planned
to
do
so.
This
is
incremental
spending,
so
all
of
these
projects
have
to
be
incremental
spending,
and
this
one
would
have
been.
We
would
be
adding
this
to
the
2017
budget
and
asking
you
to
approve
30
million
dollars
more
for
the
detours.
Now
we're
going
to
be
coming
forward
and
asking
you
to
approve
30
million
half
of
which
at
that
which
will
be
funded
from
the
federal
government,
so.
H
It
was
identified
just
in
within
the
last
year
and
a
half
once
we
started
with
the
detours,
and
mr.
Mann
Corning
was
able
to
see
what
it's
actually
costing
us
and
we
made
changes
to
it.
So
your
original
budget
that
you
approved
for
it
we
had
determined,
was
insufficient
so,
and
that
is
why
we
will
be
going
back
in
2017
and
asking
for
more
money
for
it.
H
N
Be
spent
in
14
months
between
January
1st
2017
and
March
1st
2018,
we
were
going
to
spend
an
additional
30
million
dollars
for
bus
detours.
That's
correct!
Okay!
Thank
you!
So,
just
in
terms
of
some
of
the
other
questions
and
again
just
try
to
understand
the
relationship
between
the
long
term
plan,
the
long
term
forecast
and
and
the
additional
money.
Let's
take
something
like
bus
stops
and
shelters.
We
got
just
over
half
a
million
dollars
for
it.
We
had
planned
in
2017
to
spend
six
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars,
so
are
the
feds
going
to.
H
Actually,
if
you
look
further,
you'll
see
worse
you're
planning
on
spending
in
eighteen
and
nineteen,
so
the
works
that
are
being
advanced
as
a
result
of
this
most
likely
would
have
been
in
eighteen
or
nineteen.
So
we
will
use
the
money
in
those
years.
Seventeen
will
most
likely
stand
on
its
own
and
not
be
adjusted.
So
we
will
be
doing
the
additional
work
as
a
result
of
this
program
plus
the
seventeen,
and
it
will
most
likely
be
the
eighteen
or
nineteen
budgets
that
are
adjusted
to
allow
us
to
refinance
the
debt.
Okay.
N
So
essentially,
the
benefit
really
for
us
is
going
to
be
seen
more
in
the
eighteen
and
nineteen
capita
budgets.
When
will
seer
withdraw
of
some
of
the
expected
liabilities
and
that
hopefully,
will
free
up
all
sorts
of
money,
particularly
in
the
OC
transfer
budget,
where
we
were
expecting
to
spend
a
certain
amount
of
money
that
money
will
be
advanced.
Half
of
it.
I
understand
is
going
to
have
to
be
paid
for
by
by
debt,
but
is
it
fair
to
say
that
we
will
realize
some
benefit,
particularly
in
the
capital
budget,
in
the
1819
timeframe?.
H
N
H
Train
sets
were
actually
part
of
the
three
billion
dollars
for
Stage
two,
so
they
would
have
been
forecast
in
the
long
range
financial
plan
as
being
one-third
funded
by
each
level
of
government.
We
are
now
have
50%
on
from
the
federal
government.
We
have
assumed
the
provincial
government
will
come
forward
with
their
one-third
share,
which
reduces
the
city
requirement,
which
is
the
money
we
would
be
using
them
to
fund
either
the
new
buses
or
the
detours
or
all
the
other
projects
that
were
being
added
on
that
weren't
part
of
the
original
forecast.
H
N
H
Two
trains
were
actually
part
of
the
original
cost.
So
they're
not.
This
is
not
a
new
expenditure
item.
They
were
already
identified,
they're
part
of
the
three
billion
dollars
so
we're
just
able
to
because
of
this
program,
to
advance
the
purchase
and
to
have
them
funded
50
percent
by
the
federal
government,
as
opposed
to
one
third,
but.
H
Budgets,
the
federal
government
actually
hasn't
budgeted
anything
for
this,
yet
they
were
still
waiting
for
commitment
on
them.
They're
working
on
phase
2
of
this
phase
2
is
where
we're
going
to
get
the
rest
of
the
funding
for
stage
2
low
trill.
So
we
anticipate
that
when
they
have
their
next
budget
announcement,
they
will
provide
more
details
on
stage
2
and
that's
where
we'll
get
the
rest
of
the
funding
for
the
next
stage
of
light
rail,
okay,.
N
Thank
you
and
my
my
last
question
relates
to
some
of
the
money
not
so
much
transit
but
more
active
transportation.
There's
money
for
Rio
river
crossings,
both
at
Confederation
heights
and
at
Bank
and
Riverside
775,000
and
1
million
I
presume
those
are
for
design
studies
or
something
to
the
like.
Is
that
correct
and
since
that
wasn't
envisioned
I
think
in
the
affordable
part
of
of
the
TMP?
N
Is
that
again
another
example
of
well
we'll
take
on
debt
to
pay
our
share
of
lows
and
the
hope
that
well
I,
guess,
although
it
wasn't
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
where
is
again
the
50%
contribution
from
the
city
gonna
come
from
the
design
work
for
those
two
bridges,
I
think
they're,
a
wonderful
idea.
I
should
add,
but
I'm
just
curious
how
the
financing
is
going
to
work
for
it.
H
Again
mr.
Merrill
said
we're
putting
dead
on
for
our
share
at
this
point
in
time,
we
will
bring
it
forward
in
the
budget
and,
if
there's
development,
charges
that
we
can
use
we'll
use
those,
but
otherwise
we'll
be
looking
to
refinance
the
debt
on
those
particular
projects
with
savings
that
we've
generated
in
other
areas.
Okay,.
C
H
J
H
I'm
not
aware,
we
only
know
when
they
approached
us,
they
didn't
ask
every
city.
They
asked
only
a
handful
from
my
understanding
because
they
needed
to
get
that
50%
of
funding
projects
identified
for
50%
before
the
feds
would
agree
to
signing
off
the
agreement
with
the
province.
So
I'm
not
aware
of
the
timelines
that
that
they
gave
other
cities
well.
H
H
H
R
I
appreciate
the
further
information
and
clarification
from
the
treasurer
earlier
at
this
presentation
and
through
the
Q&A,
because
I
think
there
was
a
lot
of
misunderstandings
over
the
last
few
weeks
and
maybe
a
you
know,
a
technical
briefing
or
some
sort
of
info
session
with
members
of
council
when
this
first
came
out
could
have
alleviated
some
of
that
and
steered
the
messaging
in
the
media.
A
bit
better
did
I
understand
correctly.
R
That
direction
was
given
to
the
city
clerk
to
to
review
future
opportunities
where
we
can
engage
council
so
that
these
types
of
concerns
won't
happen
again,
where
we
don't
necessarily
open
the
list
up,
for
you
know,
multiple
amendments,
but
again
get
City
Council
on
board.
As
a
heads
up
can
that
be
added
to
our
mid-year
governance
review
as
an
item.
M
M
He
recently
posted
one
last
week
with
regards
to
one
of
the
challenge:
ships
south
of
us,
where
members
of
council
had
engaged
in
a
series
of
email
exchanges
with
regards
to
a
zoning
application,
and
he
found
that
was
in
breach
of
the
Municipal
Act
closed
may
be
his
investigation
because
you
are
required
to
have
those
type
of
meetings
in
open.
So,
as
one
of
the
members
mentioned
earlier,
your
option
is
yes.
Mr.
mayor
always
you
could
call
a
special
council
meeting
or
a
committee
meeting
in
the
middle
of
summer.
M
R
M
Mr.
mayor,
most
of
our
technical
briefings
invite
all
members
of
council,
as
we
did
most
recently
with
the
eh
I,
see
a
review
report
and
we
actually
invite
the
media
and
invite
members
of
the
public
to
attend.
So
we
don't
think
their
meetings
under
the
legislation
but
in
any
event,
being
very
open
and
transparent.
R
But
it's
that
balance
between
having
the
elected
members
of
this
council
provide
input
versus
redoing
everything
that
a
lot
of
the
plans
and
studies
have
gone
through
in
the
past,
and
we've
done
that
before
we've
been
asked
our
opinion
to
provide
last
year,
the
Canada
150
infrastructure
dollars,
where
we
were
asked
to
identify
projects
in
our
wards,
which
then
got
fed
into
a
city
submission.
And
of
course
we
do
that
at
budget
as
well.
So
I
support
mr.
R
mayor,
the
the
list
before
us
I
did
have
a
number
of
questions
that
I
sent
to
staff
over
the
last
couple
weeks
and
I
appreciate
the
detailed
response
that
I
got
back
from
them.
One
thing
that
I'll
just
repeat:
I'm,
not
gonna,
obviously
go
through
all
the
questions,
but
one
that
I
want
to
underline
is
there's
a
specific
project
in
my
wor
that
talks
about
a
very
specific
bicycle
link
on
Hunt
Club
Road
Hunt
Club,
of
course,
is
a
very
busy
road.
R
Q
You
mr.
mayor
I
think
I'm
the
last
guy
on
the
list
here.
I'll
make
it
very
short
and
quick,
but
I
just
want
a
second
consolation
theory
addressing
that
we're
very
happy
to
see
safe
cycling
for
our
rural
areas
and
I'm,
not
meaning
because
I'm
a
resident
in
my
world
and
many
resident
in
the
City
of
Ottawa
always
give
us
compliment,
compliment
and
comment
about
the
road
and
safe
cycling
so,
and
we
have
answered
in
an
accident
all
the
time.
Q
Q
Most
of
them
is
coming
to
getting
some
funding
for
them,
and
my
colleague
John
Kitty
and
I
were
just
talking
just
before
the
comment
that
we're
really
impressed
and
we'll
be
talking
to
staff
and
we'll
be
asking
staff,
since
we
knew
about
the
funding
coming
to
be
prepared
and
to
put
all
the
document
or
making
sure
having
older
project
together.
So
we
are
be
able
to
deliver
on
making
sure
we
receive
as
maximum
money
from
the
funding,
and
we
can
so
pretty
myself
were
very
happy.
We're
very
pleased.
Q
We
thank
staff
for
their
hard
work
or
the
short
time
that
the
provincial
for
the
governing
line
that
gave
them
for
them
to
put
all
these
lists
together.
So
we're
very
happy
to
see
the
list
was
very
happy
to
see
the
funding
coming
to
really
appreciate
all
their
hard
work.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
mayor
great.
B
Thank
You
councillor,
Therese
and
just
very
briefly,
I
too,
want
to
echo
what
the
councillors
have
said
about
the
staff
effort
under
very
tight
timelines.
They
produced
the
list
and
in
every
single
case
it
was
a
council
approved
policy,
TMP
cycling
plan
items
that
have
been
in
the
wish
list,
if
you
will
for
some
time,
but
we've
ever
had
the
funding
for
it.
So
this
has
been
a
great
example
of
the
new
cooperative
approach
between
levels
of
government
and
we
see
government
that
brought
to
the
table
and
I
think
Minister
McKenna
for
the
announcement.
B
A
number
of
you
were
at
that
announcement
on
on
5th
Avenue
I
thank
her
and
I
thank
her
in
the
national
capital
caucus
and
Minister
Sohee
yesterday,
when
I
I
met
with
them,
because
a
lot
of
these
projects
have
been
on
the
wish
we
could
do
list
for
a
long
time
and
well
not
every
project
is
on
the
list.
We
also
understand
that
there
were
a
number
of
criterias
that
the
Government
of
Canada
established,
particularly
the
tight
timeline,
because
this
is
really
an
economic
stimulus
program
to
get
people
to
work
as
quickly
as
possible.
B
We
know
that
there's
some
extremely
fast-growing
areas.
You
know
I
can
name
office
and
some
of
them.
You
know
Riverside
self
bar
Haven
cañada,
where
there
is
tremendous
growth
but
they're,
not
enough
buses.
We
know
in
Orleans
highest
use
of
bus
transit
per
capita
in
the
entire
city.
Often
people
will
never
get
a
seat
on
the
bus
because
it's
so
crammed.
So
this
is
a
particular
project
that
benefits
all
parts
of
the
city.
I
think
the
rural
paving
area
was
something
that
I
certainly
am
very
supportive
of,
as
are
the
rural
councillors.
