Sue

my

went

took
lessons
there,
just
to
put
it
in
perspective
of
the

the

D
Choir
is
a
triple-threat
program
designed
to
offer
advanced
students
a
unique
opportunity
to
grow
as
musicians
and
performers.
The
competitive
group
has
students,
grades
9

they're
from
all
over
Ottawa,
not
just
from
Bar
Haven,
but
these
young,
ladies,
are
all
from
Bar
Haven
and
go
to
schools
there.
The
choir,
along

has
just
returned
from

Mayor,
Watson
comes
from
outfit.
Consider,
ease
and
deeply
touched
by.
This
award
is
a
privilege
for
me
to
play
a
role
in
building
the
magnetic
village
and
surrounding
community
in
partnership
with
our
two
local
councillors
and
with
other
community
associations.
The
BIA
is
here
as
well:
dönitz
tenet.
F
F
B
So
all
of
the
participants
in
the
innovation
project,
Bruce,
sad
and
the
sponsoring
managers
I'd
also
like
to
invite
councillors,
Blay
hubely
and
tyranny,
to
come
forward
because
last
summer,
together
with
these
counselors-
and
this
was,
as
you
may
recall,
an
initiative
and
innovation
of
councillor.
Hubely
I
had
the
pleasure
of
announcing
the
launch
of
our
innovation
pilot
project
program,
making
Ottawa
one
of
the
first
municipalities
in
Canada
to
create
a
program
dedicated
to
finding
and
testing
new
and
innovative
approaches
to
delivering
municipal
services
so
welcome.
B
B
B
This
program,
the
city,
sought
the
counsel
of
partners
at
the
build
in
Canada
innovation
program
and
the
National
Research
Council
located
here
in
Ottawa.
We
also
worked
with
entrepreneurial
groups
like
invest,
Ottawa,
ty
Ottawa
and
our
post-secondary
institutions,
I'm
delighted
today
to
announce
that
we
have
selected
eight
exciting
pilot
projects
that
will
be
tested
by
the
City
of
Ottawa.
The
successful
pilots
are
a
void
shield
and
Ottawa
based
company
will
be
piloting
their
voice
audio
audit
software,
which
is
an
important
link
in
ensuring
the
security
of
voice
over
IP
phone
systems.
B
Gamma
fee,
the
innovative
startup
based
out
of
Carleton
University,
will
be
running
a
pilot
to
gamify
some
of
our
upcoming
staff.
Mental
health
awareness
training
sessions
with
interactive
contests
like
videos
and
quizzes.
So
gamify
is
right.
There,
local,
startup,
synchro
data
will
pilot
their
trend,
defy
live
social
media
monitoring
and
analytical
tool,
whereas
our
friends
right
here
welcome
savvy
darts
will
test
a
cloud-based
document,
collaboration
solution
that
will
manage
the
application
process
for
the
innovation
pilot
project
right
here.
B
Signor
Dee
has
developed
an
e-signature
tool
that
will
manage
the
authorization
process
for
the
negotiation
of
our
pilot
agreements
with
successful
applicants
right
over
there
and
our
friend
came
with
us
in
our
trade
mission
to
Beijing.
So
congratulations
I'd
like
to
note
that
both
Savi
Docs
and
Sigma
Sigma
T
are
House
locally
at
invest.
Ottawa
millennium
Inc
is
a
start-up
based
out
of
Waterloo,
whose
product
lace
labs
is
an
online
forum
where
municipalities
can
share
information
regarding
pilots
that
they
have
undertaken
so
millennium.
Is
it
couldn't
make
it?
B
Our
eight
pilot
project
comes
from
key
to
access
in
partnership
with
Canadian
Nashville
Institute
for
the
blind.
They
have
developed
a
product
that
will
assist
people
with
visual
and
motor
impairments
in
activating
the
pedestrian
walk
signal
at
traffic
intersections.
This
is
really
quite
fascinating.
Tomorrow,
at
2
p.m.
everyone
is
invited
to
attend
a
demonstration
by
key
to
access
and
CNIB
of
their

of
elegance

and
Waverly

our
friends
behind
me.
The
mayor,
deserve
tomorrow.
C
B
Several
months
at
which
point
the
city
will
validate
the
performance
and
provide
feedback
to
these
entrepreneurs
as
they
seek
to
launch
and
grow
their
businesses,
where
a
potential
improvement
is
found
to
a
city
process.
These
companies
may
then
be
moved
into
our
traditional
procurement
process
to
compete
for
work
on
an
ongoing
basis.
All
over
city
is
not
required
to
purchase
any
of
the
products
or
sign
any
contracts.
This
is
a
significant
opportunity
for
these
entrepreneurs
to
test
the
products
in
a
real-life
scenario
and
build
the
reputation
as
a
credible
business.
B

The
city
would
also
highlight

The

pride
that

all
feel
to
be
recognized
not
only
by
your
peers,
by
the
organization
and
by
our

today
for
the
incredible
things
you've
done
over
the
past
year
and
I
know
you're
all
sitting
here
with
incredible
pride
and
almost
a
little
bit
of
nervousness
in
terms
of
being
here
in
front
of
the
mayor
and
council
to
receive
this
reward.
So
such
an
honor
for
us
to
have
you

and
recognize
the
people
that

the
city
run
and
make

So

I
also
want

I
The
great
achievement
that
that

for
today,
it's
critical
to
organizational
success
to
recognize
our
colleagues
for
exceptional
contributions
that
directly
benefit
the
city,
its
residents,
its
businesses
and
its
visitors.
I
returned
to
the
City
of
Ottawa
after
being
away
for
a
year
with
a
strong
appreciation
of
how
leadership,
through
our
staff
within
an
organization
could
set
the
foundation
for
the
results.
We
aim
to
achieve.
We
work
in
a
world-class
City
and
it
should
not
come
as
a
surprise
that
the
City
of
Ottawa
was
right.
I
The
best
place
to
live
in
Canada
by
money,
sense
magazine,
and
that
doesn't
happen
by
accident,
happens
in
the
box
and
the
hard
work
that
we
put
into
the
city
every
day
to
make
our
contribution
in
making
this
a
bit
city
in
which
to
live.
All
the
winners
were
celebrated
today
have
demonstrated
this
leadership.
By
going
above
and
beyond
the
regular
duties,
they
found
ways
to
innovate,
set
the
bar
higher
and
take
risks
and
innovators
are
critical
in
any
organization.
I
I've
been
talking
a
lot
about
that
to
the
1,400
employees
has
spoken
to
in
the
last
couple
weeks
how
it's
critical
that
we
have
innovators
and
organization
that
push
the
bar
forward,
take
risks
and
accept
challenges
and
to
move
forward
as
an
organization.
We
must
continue
to
innovate,
find
new
solutions,
make
the
lanes
and
empower
change,
and
that
takes
you
to
ship
among
their
staff
and
all
levels
of
the
organization
as
needles
and
innovators.
That's
why
you're
here
today,
because
we
recognize
and
celebrate
where
you
bring
to
the
table.
I
Your
individual
contributions
come
together
to
create
a
strong
and
successful
work,
force
and
organization.
You've
heard
me,
say
and
I'll
say
it
again:
we're
one
city
and
we're
one
team
which
is
fundamental
to
a
collective
success.
All
the
incredible
work
being
honored
today
reflects
the
pride
you
have
in
our
city.
I
In

some
to
try
yet
as
a
caretakers
of
our
organization,

important
role

servants

I've
been

lot

passive
street
outreach
and
emergency
shelter
services

a
housing

approach.
This

focuses
on
transitioning

which
is
one
of
the

led
three
major

Thank
You

anko's
Ward,
who
are
going
to
Jonah
join
us
in
just
a
moment
and
while
we're
waiting
for
them
I
thought
I.
Would
let
members
of
council
of
public
know
that
on
June
8
Chris
Phillips
and
myself
hosted
a
Ottawa
for
Fort
Mac
western
themed
fundraiser?
That
was
in
support
of
Canadian
Red
Cross
United
Way's
relief
appeal?
B
Dozens
of
local
businesses
answered
the
call
and
they
donated
their
good
services
and
products,
and
over
700
people
were
in
attendance,
but
I'm
very
pleased
to
report
that
a
total
of
128
thousand
five
hundred
and
eighty
dollars
and
forty
four
cents
was
raised
for
the
Fort
Mac
effort
to
help
those
residents

So
congratulations
to
all
who
participated
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
performers.

Carried

You

when
this

becomes

Where
is
the

One
contain

the
above?
Not
staff
report
as
presented
to
them
for
the
finance
economic

was
incorrect
and
reference
the
incorrect
provincial
regulation
and
where
the
English
version
of
that
recommendation
won't
contain
and
said,
report
reference.
The
correct
regulation
bill,
Ontario
regulation,
438
97,
therefore
bit
resolved
the
French
recommendation
1
and
be
corrected
to
accurately
reflect
the
warden
in
the
English
recommendation
as
follow
John
beneath

event.
I
think.
B
It
saw
before
us
and
councillor
Al
Shean
Terry
as
a
challenge
with
his
voice,
so
I
think
we
can
concur
with
item
1
carried
and
on
the
report.
Is
amendment
carried.
Thank
you
Thank
You
councillor.
So
in

There
were

so
by
Councillor.
Tierney
has
a
motion
with
respect
to
the
missing
schedules:
Council
harder!
Please!
It's.
D
Not
before
you
on
the
screen,
so
basically
what
it
was
where
we
have
through
the
negotiations
of
mr.
mark
and
the
people
involved,
the
various
talents
we
had
come
to
an
agreement
which
Planning
Committee
did
support
and
they
weren't
included
in
your
package.
So
this
adds,
though,
that
goes
to
this,
and
it
goes
to
mr.
mark
will
report
to
I
think
July
10th
to

Okay,.

Thank

This

For

and
mr.
mayor
just
quickly.
I'd
like
to
thank
staff
who
have
been
working
on
this
from
the
planning
department.
I
know:
Don
Moores
been
the
lead
on
the
CDP
for
the
past
year
and
I
joke
about
him
moving
his
retirement
date
a
few
times
because
of
some
of
the
delays
and
he's
been
great,
coming
out
to
the
community
and
meeting
with
residents
and
addressing
their
concerns.
J
One
also
thank
Derek
moody
and
Leanne
as
well,
for
helping
behind
the
scenes
and
councillor
John
Arthur
who's,
helped
to
facilitate
some
of
his
discussions
and
closing
the
deal
as
well
and,
of
course,
to
rsdc,
which
is
comprised
of
Urbandale
and
rich
crap
for
their
generous
contribution
to
the
community
to
advance
the
recreational
opportunities,
which
is
a
big
priority
for
money
of
my
residents
in
her
sights.
Thank
you
great.
B
So

We
have

people
would
like
to
speak
on
that.
B
Does
anyone
wish
to
remove
anything
from
the
bulk
consent
agenda
on
the
boat
consent
agenda
as
presented
carried?
So
it's
now
my
pleasure
to
ask
our
chair
of
hydro,
Ottawa,
Jim
burrow
and
the
CEO,
Konrad
and
I
know.
Jeffrey
Simpson
is
here
with
us
from
Hydra
as
well.
They
have
a
presentation
and
then
we
will
open
it
up
for
questions.
Mr.
Durell
thank.
N
You,
your
worship
and
members
of
council,
in
addition
to
Bryce
and
Jeff
here
with
us.
Today
we
have
the
Lance
Jeffries,
who
are
as
our
chief
electrical
distribution
officer
and,
of
course,
Tina,
who
takes
good
care
of
us
all
behind
the
scenes,
I'm
going
to
assume
I.
First
of
all,
I
would
like
to
thank
councilor
hunter
and
councillor
Wilkinson,
who
you
appointed
to
sit
on
the
board
of
hydro.
As
you
know,
you
we
are
totally
owned
by
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
I'm,
very
thankful
for
their
input
and
their
attendance
at
meetings.
N
It's
been
excellent,
I'm
going
to
assume
that
you've
all
read
the
annual
report
and
had
a
chance
to
peruse
our
strategic
plan
and
so
I'll
touch
in
some
of
the
highlights.
Bryce
will
touch
on
some
of
the
strategic
plan
highlights
and
then
obviously
we'll
throw
it
open
to
questions.
If
you
have
any,
there
was
a
great
year
quite
clearly
for
hydro
Ottawa
and
for
the
City
of
Ottawa.
N
We
had
a
record
30
2.4
million
in
net
income
and
because
of
that
were
able
to
pay
a
dividend
to
the
City
of
Ottawa,
which
was
paid
on
April.
The
29th
of
nineteen
point
four
million.
This
exceeded
considerably
the
14
million
that
you
were
guaranteed
back
when
we
did
our
strategic
plan
five
years
ago
and
is
a
foundation
upon
which
our
new
strategic
plan
and
dividend
strategy
is
being
built.
Every
year
we
get
asked
the
question:
why
pay
a
dividend?
Why
not
use
it
to
reduce
rates
and
I?
N
Think
I
could
safely
tell
you
as
I
have
in
previous
years
that
most
of
you
know
that
hydro
is
a
very,
very
regulated
business
and
that
our
rates
and
everything
we
do
is
ostensibly
set
out
by
the
OEB,
the
Ontario
Energy
Board
81%
of
our
bill.
Almost
eighty
one
point:
nine
percent
of
our
bill
frankly
is
flow.
Through
its
we
buy
energy
from
the
independent
energy
operator.
We
move
through.
We
pay
for
transmission
fees.
So
when
your
share,
our
customers
and
your
shareholders
receive
a
bill
from
hydro
Ottawa
only
about
eighteen
point.
N
One
percent
of
that
bill
is
something
that
we
can
actually
manage
internally
and
that
doesn't
diminish
our
role
and
responsibilities.
It
still
represents
a
lot
of
money,
but
it's
something
to
recognize
and
in
that
18.1%
the
OEB.
Again
through
its
regulations
only
allows
us
to,
we
have
two
forms
of
operating
costs,
operating
and
capital,
and
the
operating
costs
are
flow
through
cost
that
we
have
it's
just
we
there's
no
profit
made.
There's
nothing
done
the
capital
costs.
On
the
other
hand,
the
money
that
we
use
to
sustain
and
grow
hydro.
N
And
if
you
have
further
questions,
we
would
be
happy
to
answer
them
as
we
go
as
we
go
along.
Some
of
you
would
have
seen
the
announcement
on
Monday.
It
was
a
historic
day
for
us
in
the
province
and
the
Mayor
was
in
attendance
and
we
were
able
to
purchase
the
final
one.
Third
of
the
shoddy
air
falls
from
hydro-quebec.
N
This
now
gives
us
100%
of
the
Falls,
and
this
makes
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
hydro
Ottawa,
the
largest
municipal
generator
of
clean
energy.
If
you
wish
to
call
it
that
in
the
province
and
that's
something
you
should
be
very
very
proud
of,
and
it's
something
we're
proud
of
as
well,
and
if
you
have
an
opportunity
by
next
year,
when
we
celebrate
our
cesky
centennial,
you
will
see
not
only
a
whole
new
generating
station
but
Plaza
to
honor
our
First
Nations,
and
we
will
bring
the
Falls
back
to
the
people
of
Ottawa.
N
In
addition
to
providing
an
excellent
renewable
energy
source
for
the
city
as
we
continue
to
grow
and
cooperate
with
the
City
of
Ottawa
we've.
Also
through
councils,
recognition
have
taken
over
your
LED
lighting
conversion
and
in
four
years
time
that
will
start
to
save
the
City
of
Ottawa
four
million
dollars
a
year,
which
is
substantial,
and
we
hope
that
that
type
of
cooperation
will
allow
us
to
do
further
things.
As
the
city
explores
new
efficiencies.
N
N
Improvements
will
only
go
to
further
keep
us
down
in
that
bottom.
Quartile
place,
we'll
talk
briefly
about
the
strat
plan,
but
a
key
part
of
our
strategic
plan
is
obviously
our
new
dividend
policy.
The
policy
that
was
in
existence
previously,
that
was
approved
by
City
Council
paid,
basically
60%
of
our
net
income
or
a
base
floor
of
14
million.
We
have
exceeded
that
14
million
every
year.
N
The
new
plan
going
forward
recognizes
a
number
of
things
and
in
particular,
that
the
money
that
we
give
back
to
the
city
is
invested
in
municipal
services
and
often
in
services
that
benefit
hydro.
So
it's
a
win-win
not
only
for
the
City
of
Ottawa
but
for
hydro
Ottawa.
So
our
new
policy
will
do
two
things:
one
it
will
own.
N
It
will
break
out
the
regulated
part
of
our
business,
the
hydro
Ottawa
part
of
it,
and
it
will
pay
the
City
of
Ottawa
60
percent
of
our
net
income
the
same
as
previously,
but
with
a
new
floor,
a
guaranteed
amount
of
a
minimum
of
20
million
a
year.
This
allows
your
mayor.
It
allows
you
as
Council,
and
it
allows
your
city
management
to
plan
and
know
that
you're
going
to
have
a
base,
get
guaranteed
dividend
every
year
of
20
million.
N
Should
our
net
income
be
higher
than
that,
and
the
60
percent
shows
that
you
will
then
get
that
increased
amount
by
breaking
out
the
regulated
part
of
our
business,
not
to
make
this
overly
complicated.
We
are
obviously
subject
to
constant
credit
ratings
by
both
Standard
and
Poor's
and
the
Dominion
bond
rating
service.
They
view
our
regulated
business.
N
Much
like
a
city
has
looked
at,
and
that
is
that
you
have
a
really
a
guaranteed
source
of
income
and
and
then
the
ability
to
tax
people
as
you
desire
our
regulated
business
in
a
sense
does
that
for
us,
but
when
we
move
into
the
generating
business
while
we
think
it's
it
and
it
fulfills
everything
that
Otto
is
trying
to
do
as
a
clean
City.
It's
the
provinces,
Green
Energy,
Act
it.
It
does
all
of
those
great
things.
N
G
Thank
you,
mr.
chair,
just
to
hit
on
some
of
the
high
notes
that
you
have
before
you
our
new
revised
strategic
direction
for
2016
to
2020.
As
many
of
you
may
recall,
the
previous
strategic
direction
started
in
2012
and
as
part
of
that,
the
fundamental
shift
for
the
corporation
was
to
make
the
corporation
more
customer
centric
to
put
the
customer
at
the
center
of
everything
we
did.
G
This
is
obviously
a
journey.
This
plan
that
we're
tabling
here
today
sort
of
doubles
down
on
that
existing
plan.
We
want
to
further
digitalize
the
relationship
we
have
with
our
customers
to
put
them
in
control
of
their
energy
consumption,
give
them
the
tools,
digital
tools
and
wherewithal
to
manage
their
energy
consumption
on
a
daily
basis.
It's
also
future
proofing.
The
company,
for
the
sake
that
you
know
should
electronic
electric
vehicles
become.
G
Should
electric
vehicles
and
electrification
in
general
become
de
rigueur?
The
system
is
in
place
for
it.
We
have
strategy
to
embrace
that.
It
also
speaks
again
to
the
few
two
additional
generation
requirements
and
generation
assets
that
we
will
look
to
pursue,
obviously
in
the
clean
green
area.
And,
finally,
our
goal
through
this
entire
plan
is
to
be
the
tried
trusted
and
true
energy
management
adviser
to
the
citizens
of
Ottawa.
Both
the
citizens
and
small
businesses.
N
We
are
appointing
KPMG
as
our
auditors,
which
is
a
change,
as
you
would
see
in
your
report.
After
10
years
with
e
&
y
ey,
we've
moved
to
KPMG.
We
would
ask
as
well
at
your
point,
reappoint
to
two
of
our
board
members
Gail
Craig
&,
Collect
lation,
who
have
served
us
extremely
well
in
the
first
term
and
of
course
then
instruct
the
mayor
to
do
this
so
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
your
attention
and
I'd
be
pleased
your
worship
to
throw
this
open
to
questions.
If
there
are
any
right.
B
Let
me
just
thank
you.
Mr.
Durell
and
the
board
members
I
know:
I
represent
those
councillors,
Wilkinson
and
harder
very
much
appreciate
all
of
the
extra
hours
that
you
put
in
as
chair
of
the
board
and
to
Bryce.
That
was
a
very
wonderful
and
exciting
and
historic
moment
at
the
shaji
air
falls
and
we
had
the
outgoing
Energy
Minister
and
the
new
Energy
Minister,
along
with
many
other
representatives
of
the
community
and
I,
think
people
will
be
pleasantly
surprised
when
the
Falls
finally
are
open
back
up
to
the
public.
B
L
You
raised
the
the
issue
of
your
delivery
of
the
the
LED
conversions
of
our
street
lights
to
to
LED
and
the
phenomenal
amount
of
savings
that
are
available
to
us
from
that.
That's
just
one
example
to
me
of
an
important
partnership
between
us
formally
as
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
an
hydro
and
I
just
want
to
put
on
record
as
chair
of
the
Environment
Committee
that
none
of
the
work,
our
air
quality
and
climate
change
management
plan,
both
reductions,
conservation
initiatives
in
the
city
rely
heavily
on
that
department,
partnership
and
the
delivery
that
is
done.
L
Minh
siddur,
ibly,
bye-bye
hydro,
Ottawa
staff
and
now
our
work
on
the
renewable
energy
strategy.
The
participation
of
a
number
of
your
staff
in
our
early
work
has
been
very
valuable
because
who
knows
better
what
the
current
state
of
energy
use
is
than
a
major
and
one
of
the
major
utilities
in
the
city.
I
look
forward
to
to
meeting
directly
with
with
you
Bryce
in
a
couple
of
weeks
time
to
update
you
on
on
that
renewable
energy
strategy.
I
did
have
a
question
eyes
indicated
you
touched
on
briefly
preparation
for
electrification.
L
We
see
a
global
trend
where
the
shift
towards
using
electricity
to
charge
batteries
for
all
kinds
of
purposes,
whether
so-called
power
walls
in
people's
homes
or
vehicles
or
possibly
municipal
fleets,
is
a
likely
trend.
That's
going
to
grow
significantly,
so
I
was
interested
in
how
how
carefully
you're
tracking
that
trend,
how
rapidly
there's
the
chicken
and
egg
right
now
until
we
see
the
vehicles
wanting
to
charge
we're
not
going
to
put
in
too
much
infrastructure,
but
if
that
comes
really
quickly,
can
we
get
that
up
and
running?
L
G
And
thank
you
for
question
counselor
and,
and
thanks
for
the
support
we
get
from
you
and
your
committees
on
the
environment,
with
respect
to
the
electrification,
I
would
argue,
there's
a
with
electric
cars
as
the
chicken
and
the
egg.
The
charging
station
versus
the
car
there's
also
the
Fox
in
the
room,
which
is
the
price
of
gas
today,
which
is
ridiculously
cheap
comparison.
G
So
we're
not
seeing
the
rapid
uptake
in
electric
vehicles
as
many
of
expect
at
least
not
in
Ottawa
I,
think
I
can
probably
count
it
on
it's
probably
less
than
500
would
be
my
honest
assessment,
that's
not
to
say
that
it
won't
grow
and
boom
as
it
goes
forward.
The
problems
has
launched
their
climate
action
plan,
climate
change,
Action
Plan,
which
obviously
forecast
by
2020
for
that
there
will
be
a
electric
or
a
hybrid
vehicle
in
every
multi
car
household.
So
with
that
in
mind,
our
system
is
is
well
prepared
for
it.
G
We
have
worked
with
that
Natural
Resources
Canada
we've
worked
with
a
number
of
stakeholders
to
sort
of
anticipate
where
the
growth
will
be
from
electric
vehicle
charging
stations.
Where
that
that
additional
Road
will
come
from
the
good
news
from
our
perspective
Council-
and
you
can
appreciate
this-
is
the
system
Peaks
during
the
day,
people
don't
charge
their
cars
during
the
day.
They
would
be
charging
the
cars.
You
know,
ostensibly
at
night,
between
midnight
and
5:00
a.m.
sort
of
thing,
when
the
system
has
plenty
of
surplus
loads.
G
So
our
view
is
in
the
short
and
immediate
term.
We
have
no
issues,
no
concerns
whatsoever.
The
system
is
robust
enough
to
handle
it.
If
it
ever
got
to
a
point
where
we
did
have,
you
know
the
dream
of
2024,
where
you
would
have
multiple
electric
vehicles
on
a
single
feeder,
the
system
again,
the
technology
is
there
we
can,
we
can
absolutely
adapt
to
it.
We're
prepared
and-
and
obviously
my
engineers
stay
up
at
night
thinking
about
these
sorts
of
things,
so
I'm
a
thousand
percent
comfortable,
we're
ready
for
it
all.
L
Right,
thank
you.
I
make
I,
don't
wish
them
to
stay
up
at
night,
but
at
least
during
the
day
time
to
be
putting
their
attention
to.
That
is
much
appreciated.
Now.
The
flipside,
of
course,
is
that
they're
still
on
the
utility
level,
you
are
involved
in
in
growth
in
cleaner
generation,
which
is
fantastic,
they're
still
pent
up
pent-up
demand.
L
There
are
plenty
of
people
who
would
love
to
be
involved
in
generation,
whether
it's
home
rooftops
or
others,
I
anything
that
hydro
can
do
to
to
reduce
paperwork
and
the
approvals
and
fees
associated
with
that
is
always
appreciated
by
those
who
want
to
do.
That.
Is
that
something
that
you've
raised
us
with
you
before?
As
you
mean
any
progress
there.
G
G
It
used
to
be
it's
it's
dramatically
lower,
so
a
payback
on
those
installations
is
dramatically
longer
than
it
used
to
be
so,
but
as
the
province
again
embarks
on
its
climate
action
planned
and
they,
you
know
very
clearly-
have
made
a
commitment
to
sort
of
household
generating
power
generating
as
much
powers
are
using
again.
Our
system
is
built
to
support
it.
O
You
mr.
chair
and
thank
you
for
being
here,
I
just
want
to
talk
about
the
money.
A
little
bit.
I
just
want
to
understand
the
dividend
policy
change
that
you
are
recommending.
So,
first
off
in
the
report,
you
indicated
that
that
hydro,
Ottawa
Holdings
Inc
is
projecting
significant
growth
in
net
income
from
the
2016
to
2020.
On
what
basis
are
you
projecting
that
significant
growth.
G
O
Okay,
I
don't
know
if
they
heard
that,
but
but
mr.
Conrad
said
that's
correct,
so
I
just
want
to
understand
what
you're
really
asking
for
for
the
change
in
the
policy.
So
right
now
target
dividends
at
the
greater
of
60%
of
the
myth:
net
income
of
the
corporation
or
14
million
dollars,
so
you're
willing
to
go
basically
to
guarantee
20,
which
is
probably
guaranteed
anyway.
O
But
the
difference
is
that
it's
60%
of
the
annual
net
income
of
the
regulated
business
so
and
I
and
I
see
that
your
credit
ratings
been
downgraded
and
you're
concerned
about
that
and
I
can
understand
why
you'd
be
concerned
about
that,
but
want
to
understand
the
impact
on
the
dividend
that
the
city
receives
from
our
investment
in
hydro
Ottawa
by
this
change
in
policy.
If
we
were
to
graph
those
two,
what
difference
would
it
be?
How
much
I
presume
it's
less
than
we
would
have
gotten
under
the
old
policy?
So
how
much
less.
N
That's
a
very
good
question
counselor
and
you
are
correct
that
if
we
did
nothing
and
change
this,
the
city
would
receive
substantially
more
than
the
20
million
that
we're
showing
you
one
of
the
things
and
the
biggest
challenge
that
we
faced
and
if
I
could
give
you
a
single
answer.
I
would
it's
somewhat
complex
and
so
bear
with
me
as
I
cross.
N
A
number
of
fields
in
this
answer
first
and
foremost,
is
as
chairman
of
the
board
and
the
board
itself
representing
you,
the
city,
our
fiduciary
responsibility
is
to
not
only
ensure
that
we
stay
in
that
bottom
quartile
up
there
of
frequency
and
duration
of
outages,
but
to
do
so
in
a
fiscally
responsible
manner.
In
the
course
of
our
show
holder
agreement
with
the
city
and
through
the
regulators,
they
require
a
debt
equity
ratio
that
is
critical
to
our
go
forward.
N
N
If
we
continued
on
the
same
and
continue
to
borrow
to
pay
the
excess
dividends
in
a
very
short
period
of
time,
the
bond
rating
agencies
would
downgrade
hydro
Ottawa
to
probably
triple
B.
That
would
instantly
trigger
a
twenty
five
million
dollar
extra
payment
that
we
would
have
to
make
to
the
independent
energy
or
electric
rate
just
to
show
them
that
we
were
financially
solvent.
It
would
not
be
a
pretty
picture
if
I
were
you
as
a
city
councilor
or
any
of
you.
N
N
So
that
is
a
very
long-winded
answer.
The
bottom
line
is
yes,
you
are
correct.
This
is
not
that
we
sat
down
with
the
city
manager
with
the
treasurer.
This
is
not
us
trying
to
pull
a
fast
one
on
the
city.
This
is
the
city,
a
hydro
Ottawa,
ensuring
that
you,
as
our
shareholder,
have
a
very
well-run
company.
N
That's
financially
solvent
that
keeps
your
customers
in
that
bottom
quartile,
that
little
green
and
at
the
same
time
allows
us
to
continue
to
invest
in
infrastructure
in
a
responsible
way,
continue
to
buy
new
generating
stations
if
we
can
etc.
Jeff
fobb,
Bryce,
I,
don't
know
if
I
there's
a
long-winded
answer.
If
I
missed
something.
Please.
G
The
only
additional
color
I
provide
is
that
there
are
75,
plus
electric
distribution
companies
like
ourselves
in
the
province.
All
of
them
have
a
dividend
policy,
that's
either
50/50
or
60/40.
We
are
unique
in
the
sense
that
ours
is
on
the
holding
company.
Everybody
else
is
on
the
regulated
assets
as
we're
moving
here
today.
So
we're
trying
to
move
ourselves
into
that
that
layer
of
predictability,
okay,.
O
N
Yeah
in
the
next
five
years,
very
little
extra
that
you
wouldn't
get
already,
because
the
generating
business
is
growing
and
shot
is
just
coming
on
in
17
in
the
following
five
years
projected
out
and
again
it
would
be
in
the
vicinity
of
35
million.
They
would
eventually
grow
to
over
the
next
15
years.
N
I'll
put
an
asterisk
on
that
as
well,
that
this
is
a
five-year
plan
and
we
will
be
back
in
front
of
you
with
a
strategic
plan
in
front
of
the
council
of
the
day,
with
our
next
strategic
plan
in
2020
and
at
that
particular
time.
Quite
clearly,
at
the
dividend,
policy
will
be
revisited
and
a
whole
series
of
things,
because
you
know
councillor
Trinity
code
talked
about
the
green
energy
plan
and
the
impact
the
the
number
of
changes
coming
down.
N
Presently
so,
five
years
from
now,
we
will
revisit
the
dividend
policy,
but
I
can
tell
you
with
complete
assurance
that
this
is
what
we're
doing
today,
short
term
will
have
relatively
little
impact
and
what
the
city
would
get
matter
of
fact,
you're
getting
more,
but
secondly,
and
more
importantly,
it
preserves
the
financial
integrity
of
haidle,
hydro
Ottawa,
with
the
bond
rating
agencies,
with
our
banks
and
with
the
OEB
and
that's
critical.
Now.
O
I
I
We
understand
the
relief
they
need
from
the
perspective
of
of
securing
the
bond
rating
agencies
supports
and
how
that
is
so
important
to
the
business
and
the
continuation
of
the
growth
that
we're
going
to
expect
in
the
future.
So
in
the
treasurer
looked
at
it
and
we
looked
at
it
from
the
perspective
of
war
recommendation,
we
would
make
we've
accepted
the
premise
that
20
million
dollars
is
better
than
what
we've
been
doing.
I
O
D
J
Thank
you,
your
worship
and
good
morning,
and
thank
you,
gentlemen,
for
the
reports
this
morning
and
your
efforts
of
hydro,
auto
I,
do
want
to
state
that
I
support
the
the
governance
and
team
at
hydro,
Ottawa
and
I'm
generally
satisfied
with
the
direction
that
things
are
going
and
mr.
doar
I
want
to.
Thank
you
for
recognizing
and
acknowledging
that
one
of
the
main
questions
I'm
sure
you
hear,
and
certainly
my
residence
here
is
the
recognition
that
this
public
utility
does
generate
a
profit
and
some
people
question
why
so
much
of
that
is
being
generated.
J
In
my,
why
not
return
some
of
that
back
to
the
customers,
but
you
have
acknowledged
that
and
I
want
to
appreciate,
and
thank
you
for
that.
Can
you
just
paint
a
brief
picture
over
the
next
few
years,
when
you
take
into
account
some
of
the
direction
that
both
the
provincial
and
federal
governments
are
going?
What
can
the
customer
expect
with
respect
to
rates
not
just
challenges
that
hydro
Ottawa
may
be
facing,
but
any
known
additional
expectations
or
regulations
that
those
two
bodies
may
be
enforcing
going
forward?
N
The
OEB
counselor
has
approved
a
plan
and
I
would
say
that
in
the
next
five
years
they
will
see
an
average
increase
of
about
2.6
percent
a
year
and
that's
obviously
a
little
more
in
some
year
and
a
little
less
than
others,
but
over
a
five
year
period.
An
average
is
a
worthwhile
thing
mentioning
and
talking
about.
So
that's
what
they
can
expect.
It's
been
approved
by
the
OEB
and,
and
so
we
operate
accordingly,
has.
J
Hydro,
Ottawa
ever
considered
issuing
a
dividend
directly
back
to
the
customer
in
years
where
your
your
net
profit
may
have
exceeded.
Expectations
has
that
ever
been
considered,
rather
than
monkeying
around
with
the
actual
price,
which
is
difficult
hard
to
budget
hard
to
predict
going
forward.
If
you
do
generate
32
million
in
that
income,
have
you
as
a
board,
considered
issuing
money
back
to
the
customer
at
some
point,
it's.
N
A
good
question:
first
of
all,
we
do
in
many
respects
hydro.
Water
was
one
of
the
most
highly
recognized
corporate
citizens
in
Ottawa
and
across
the
country.
And
then,
if
you
look
in
the
annual
report,
which
I
know
you
have,
you
will
see
number
of
awards
that
have
been
won
by
hydro
Ottawa,
the
money
that
we
have
given
back.
For
instance,
when
we
re
billing
was
introduced
with
re
billing,
it
was
obviously
financially
was
very
beneficial
to
us,
but
to
encourage
people
to
do
that.
We
contributed
to.
N
In
this
case,
we
handed
over
a
check
for
ninety
four
thousand
dollars
to
the
max
keeping
foundation
and
fund
a
cheer.
We
raised
older
over
a
quarter
of
a
million
dollars
annually
for
United
Way
and
what
we
do
with
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
and
Christy
Lake,
and
on
and
on
and
on,
and
that's
to
me
the
best
way
that
we
can
return
monies
to
our
citizens
by
being
a
good
corporate
citizen.
N
Our
you
know
the
rest
of
it
quite
frankly
is
way.
As
I
said,
we
pay
our
dividends
out
of
borrowing
and
we
have
to
get
our
data
equity
ratio
into
effect,
and
we
have
to
invest
that
half
a
billion
dollars
in
the
next
five
years
in
ensuring
that
our
tree
maintenance
policies
are
good,
so
you're
not
losing
hydro
when
there's
a
storm
and
all
of
those
other
things
and
the
bottom
line
is
I.
Think
the
average
customer
when
I
turn
my
lights
on
in
the
morning
or
my
coffee
maker
I
want
them
to
work.
M
Briefly
into
the
treasurer
I
am
pleased
to
see
the
change
in
the
dividend.
Policy
consistently
exceeding
projections
from
a
financial
planning
standpoint
can
be
just
as
problematic
as
consistently
missing
them.
I
just
want
to
find
out
from
the
treasurer
whether
that
new
dividend
level,
with
that
higher
floors
can
be
baked
into
the
city's
budget
assumptions
and
whether
you're
comfortable
that
that
doesn't
pose
any
risks
on
our
side.
With
respect
to
the
certainty
of
our
revenues,
moving
forward.
D
Mr.
Muir,
this
actually
helps
because
we've
always
we've
had
to
rely
on
a
policy
that
said
14
million,
and
we,
even
though
we've
always
gotten
more
than
that,
we've
been
very
reluctant
to
increase
it
to
reflect
what
the
actual
is.
Now
that
the
policy
will
say,
20
million,
we
will
be
able
to
adjust
that
account
in
the
budget,
increase
it
and
know
that
those
revenues
are
coming
in,
so
it
is
actually
advantageous
for
the
city
and
with
respect
to
a
counselor,
James's
question.
The
answer
is:
4.8%
is
the
return
and.
M
D
F
Thank
you
very
much,
mr.
right.
Thank
you
guys
really
perkell,
so
you'd
be
pleased.
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
Mehra
I
I,
just
want
to
speak
from
my
ward,
was
one
the
wards
that
back
in
2010
was
suffering
a
lot
from
no
teachers
and
what
was
ordering
on
reliable
service,
and
so
today,
I
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
Bryson
and
his
people
because
knock
on
wood,
but
we
don't
have
those
problems
anymore.
They've
done
a
lot
to
fix
the
and
stabilize
the
service,
as
mr.
F
H
H
The
question
because
we
know
negotiation,
the
question
was:
can
the
government
or
future
government
order
hydro,
one
to
transfer
the
utility
to
hydro
Ottawa
and
who
will
compensate
that
I
just
want
to
know
what
is
the
answer
to
this,
because
if
there's
one
help
one
one
percent
hope
waters
in
the
hoping
for
if
there's
no
percentage
of
Hope?
Let's
be
honest
about
that,
because
some
people
playing
this
as
a
political
game
with
people's
emotion
here.
N
Thank
You
councillor
and
you
are
correct
and
I
think
the
councillors
who
were
involved
with
hydro
one
recognize
the
extensive
work
that
we
did
Brice
and
myself
and
a
few
others
working
with
hydro
one
to
try
and
bring
everybody
into
the
into
our
tent.
The
bottom
line
is
the
OEB,
the
Ottawa,
the
Ontario
Energy
Board
was
created
not
to
so
much
bother
or
the
other
LD
sees,
but
to
protect
the
citizens
of
Ontario
from
I
guess:
poorly
run
hydro
operations
if
I
could
use
a
better
word
than
that.
N
I,
don't
know
what
it
is,
but
as
a
result
of
that,
they
any
transaction
would
look
at
the
deal
and
say
if
hydro
one
were
to
in
their
magnanimous
private
sector
position
say
you
know
what
we
feel
badly
for
the
people.
You
can
buy
them
at
a
reduced
rate.
The
OEB
wouldn't
approve
that
they
would
say
that
was
to
the
detriment
of
the
other
hydro.
One
customers
who
were
out
there
and
I
do
not
know
of
a
government.
Today,
that's
going
to
overrule
a
regulator,
it's
a
little
like
the
government
telling
the
judge.
N
I
want
you
to
come
down
with
this
opinion.
What
the
hell
is
a
judge.
Therefore
you
know,
and
so
the
OEB
is
put
there
to
protect
you
and
me
as
customers
against
LD
seas
like
hydro
Ottawa,
doing
something
nefarious
or
doing
something
behind
the
scenes
in
theory
to
help
people
yes,
but
at
the
expense
of
others.
And
so
would
any
government
do
it?
N
I
don't
know,
but
to
do
so
in
fly
in
the
face
of
a
regulator
who
you've
appointed
to
oversee
every
resident
of
Ontario
I
can't
imagine
any
any
any
politician,
I
sure
wouldn't
do
it
and
you
know
I
would
say
to
the
LDCs
and
work
out
your
own
problems,
so
the
bottom
line
is:
could
they
do
it
sure
governments
have
the
ultimate
power
to
do
anything?
Would
they
do
it
and
fly
in
the
face
of
the
regulator?
N
H
B
B
P
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
shot.
Mr.
mayor
yeah,
we
had
a
very
comprehensive
and
useful
discussion
on
the
revival
on
a
series
of
recommendations,
including
the
proposed
revised
fare
table
last
week
at
the
Commission
and
the
Commission
voted
to
refer
one
of
the
items
that
I
put
forward
there
to
counsel.
So
that's
why
this
is
before
council
now,
and
let
me
start
by
saying
that
you
know
staff
have
done
an
extraordinary
job,
bringing
all
of
this
information
to
the
Commission
and
to
Council,
which
I
very
much
appreciate
and
there's
some
fantastic
work
in
there.
P
This
was
problematic
so
essentially
right
now
we
have
38,000
regular
monthly
pass
holders
and
the
way
the
first
structure
was
proposing
that
the
elimination
of
the
Express
service
would
affect
them
on
January.
1St
2017
would
be
such
that
between
the
June
2016
monthly
pass
in
the
January
2017
pass
those
folks,
those
38,000
loyal
customers
would
see
a
price
increase
of
10%
in
the
monthly
pass
in
just
seven
months.
So
again,
if
you
compare
the
price
of
a
June
2016
pass
compared
to
the
proposed
January
2017
pass
assuming
a
one
point.
P
So
again,
so
the
reason
why
we
were
struggling
with
this
and
why
I
was
struggling
with
this-
is
a
10%
increase
over
seven
months
and
the
cost
of
affair,
a
loss
of
six
hundred
and
seven
hundred
regular
monthly
pass
holders,
and
at
least
some
seven
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
lost
in
annual
revenue
now
separately.
We
heard
that
there
issues
with
the
express
routes
and
I
think
the
argument
made
last
week
was.
P
These
are
problems
that
exist
now,
and
one
of
the
rationales
for
ending
the
price
premium
was
to
address
the
fact
that
the
Express
routes
have,
as
the
argument
goes,
lost
some
of
their
distinctive
value
and
I'm
not
here
to
dispute
that
that
argument.
If
that's
the
case,
that's
fine,
but
I
would
say
that
the
problem
of
our
Express
routes
between
now
and
2018
is
not
a
problem
that
ought
to
be
borne
by
a
regular
monthly
passengers.
P
If
this
is
an
irritant,
and
if
this
is
something
that
we've
known
about
for
some
time,
I
mean
it
probably
should
have
been
raised
in
the
context
of
the
budget
last
year.
But
I
think
we've
got
an
opportunity
and
the
lead-up
to
budget
2017
to
see
if
we
can
fix
that
problem
so
again,
I'm
not
necessarily
against
ending
the
Express
for
sooner
rather
than
later.
But
the
point
is
I,
don't
think
during
on
January
1st
2017
on
the
shoulders
of
the
regular
monthly
pass.
P
Holders
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and,
given
that
the
value
proposition
of
the
LRT
isn't
going
to
be
apparent
to
them
for
another
18
months,
you
know
I,
guess
I
would
be
comfortable
or
more
comfortable,
saying
look.
This
is
going
to
happen
in
2018,
but
this
year
you're
going
to
see
the
value
of
the
LRT
system,
and
for
that
reason
the
increased
fare
could
be
justified,
but
I
think
I.
Think
the
18-month
issue
is
a
problem
and
again
I'm
not
arguing.
P
We
shouldn't
solve
the
Express
fare
problem,
but
I
really
think
we
shouldn't
do
that
on
the
backs
of
our
most
loyal
and
important
customers.
So
that's
the
nature
of
the
motion.
I
would
hope
that
if
this
were
the
past,
we
could
still
find
an
opportunity
in
the
budget
2017
to
see
if
we
can
address
the
Express
fare
issue,
and
if
that
means
we
can
eliminate
them
sooner
rather
than
later.
I
would
absolutely
have
no
problem
with
that.
So
there's
a
bit
of
an
introduction
to
the
motion.
Mr.
Elsa.
A
Like
to
ask
staff
just
to
go
over
some
of
the
things
they
did
at
the
Commission
meeting
about
why,
in
fact,
people
are
paying
express
fares,
but
they
do
not
get
express
service.
Their
service
is
the
same
as
those
who
don't
pay
express
service
and
therefore,
for
years
and
years,
because
this
has
happened
for
some
years
ago,
people
have
been
paying
more
than
they
actually
should
have.
I
think
this
app
would
explain
that
first,
it
would
help
and
no
I
don't
want
to
say
further.
A
J
John
mr.
chair
mr.
mayor,
the
some
of
the
changes
that
have
occurred
over
the
30
years
since
the
transit
way
has
been
built
as
the
transit
way
has
been
expanded
into
new
areas
and
as
rapid
transit
service
using
the
transit
way
has
been
greatly
expanded
into
into
suburban
and
other
areas
of
the
city.
Some
of
the
things
that
have
changed
are
that
the
express
route
is
no
longer.
The
only
service
that
provides
the
transfer
free
service
to
downtown
to
rapid
transit
service
also.
J
Does
that
the
limited
stop
service
that
the
express
routes
provided
historically
is
also
provided
by
the
transit
way
routes.
The
express
routes
are
no
longer
consistently
available
in
all
suburban
areas,
because
some
newer,
suburban
areas,
we
have
not
been
able
to
add
Express
service
because
of
our
current
capacity
constraints,
downtown,
there's
no
longer
a
guaranteed
seat
on
express
routes.
J
A
That
the
importance
of
getting
more
serious
and
having
an
improvement
in
there
I
just
brought
home
again
to
me
on
Tuesday
when
I
had
an
email
for
a
meeting
held
in
I
picked.
A
HR
professionals
in
the
cadet
know
that
business
part
with
said
they're
unable
to
hire
young
people
because
they
can't
get
to
work
because
we
don't
have
service
and
much
that
is,
we've
been
able
to
get
some
rush
hour
service
in
there,
but
it's
in
it's
not
adequate
enough,
and
that
doesn't
happen
all
day.
Long
I
think
I.
A
A
So
it
will
work
well
when
we,
the
LRT,
and
that
if
we
have
a
problem
with
the
fares,
work
on
those
over
the
summer
and
come
back
at
budget
time
and
see
if
there's
some
ways,
we
can
work
to
make
those
work
a
little
better
and
that's
not
part
of
this
recommendation
at
all
as
something
we'll
be
dealing
with
in
the
fall.
Thank
You.
Mr.
mayor.
B
Q
Think
there's
very
positive
news
in
the
report
that
need
to
be
highlighted
and
then
I
do
have
questions
and
comments
for
for
further
review.
I
think
that
the
one
of
the
really
great
things
that
we
have
is
the
multi-day
pass.
That's
presented,
I'm
looking
forward
to
to
see
the
the
amount
that
that
will
be
but
I
think
as
a
capital
city,
a
city
that
prides
itself
on
being
green
on
having
good
transit
that
multi-day
pass
will
be
really
well
received.
Q
Hopefully
we
can
do
it
like
certain
jurisdictions
like
in
Rome,
where
we
can
work
right
through
the
hotels
and
as
soon
as
the
first
tap
comes
in
that's
the
start
time.
Hopefully
we
get
to
to
have
that
level
I'm
a
bit
concerned
by
some
of
the
changes,
I'd
like
to
say
that
you
know
the
the
conversation
specifically
to
the
Express
routes.
In
my
mind
you
know
we
have
a
new
system
starting
in
2018
when
the
LRT
kicks
in.
Q
So,
let's
make
sure
that
we're
ready
for
and
I
think
that
it's
fair
to
say
that
the
customers
in
that
are
using
the
Express
routes
will
have
a
different
experience
at
that
time.
I
also
want
to
thank
mr.
man
Kony
for
his
memo,
specifically
for
the
ramp
up
for
us
to
understand
the
complexity
of
making
sure
we're
ready
for
the
start
date
of
LRT
I.
Q
Think
that
that's
an
important
understanding
beyond
the
fees
and
the
rates
that
there
there's
the
entire
back
system
needs
to
be
ready,
so
that
not
only
the
customer
experience
in
terms
of
the
look
and
feel
of
stations
the
service,
but
also
that
payment
can
all
be
seamless
well,
I'm
concerned
a
few
elements.
One
I'm
concerned
that
we
currently
have
Wednesday
free
seniors
which
are
well
receives
our
seniors
are
using
them.
Q
We
keep
getting
very
positive
feedback
on
that,
but
at
the
same
time,
when
I
see
the
rates
the
table
fare,
I
see
no
increase
in
the
senior
portion.
I
recognize
it's
a
smaller
pour
think
it's
around
seven
thousand
passes
but
I
think
that
sends
the
wrong
message,
because
we're
increasing
all
the
others
and
we're
saying
well
wait
a
minute
there's
a
Wednesday
for
free,
which
is
great,
let's
not
touch
that,
but
why
don't
we
Inc?
We
have
an
increment
in
the
in
your
seniors
portion.
Mr.
mank
only
is
it
possible
to
understand
where
that
came.
Q
K
Yes,
mr.
mayor,
if
you
have
an
older
adult
plan
that
has
consistently
reminded
us
to
apply
the
lens,
the
equity
inclusion
lens
on
seniors
and
the
free
Wednesday,
is
there
it's
an
attractive
offering?
And
this
rate
that
applies
to
you
know.
The
customer
uptake
on
our
deck
is
about
7,000
seniors.
You'll,
recall
that
when
you
did
your
last
fare
table
adjustment,
you
did
take
away
from
the
seniors
the
the
free
Friday
morning.
So,
from
my
perspective,
the
seniors
have
contributed.
At
this
point.
My
recommendation
is
on
the
seniors
piece.
K
If
down
the
road,
you
want
to
look
at
some
incremental
changes.
You
do
it
in
that
context,
but
we're
aligning
ourselves
to
the
overarching
objectives
are
your
strategic
priorities
of
being
an
all
inclusive
City
and
the
seniors
community,
which
we
had
really
good
dialogue
in
the
last
time
we
talked
about
this.
They
contributed
both
in
the
press
to
roll
out
adjustment,
Affairs
and
the
elimination
of
a
Friday
benefit
that
they
had
so.
Q
Now
I
have
two
questions
and,
and
those
relate
to
what
I
believe
is
the
biggest
part
of
user,
which
is
the
adult
adult
pass
and
the
their
cash
payment
I'll
start
with
the
cash
payment.
So
I've
set
this
stream
that
uber
debate
and
I'm
sorry
to
bring
that
this
back
up
to
the
table.
But
if
any
of
you
have
used
uber,
it's
very
affordable
and
I
think
that
at
the
price
point
we're
putting
the
cash
payment.
Q
Q
I'm
concerned
that,
if,
if
our
fees
are
just
out
at
a
point
where
we're
at
risk,
we
might
lose
ridership,
and
then
that
also
plays
with
the
fee
table,
so
you
know
I
what
I
would
like
us
to
look
at
is.
If
we
were
to
you
know,
the
price
point
at
3:30
is
something
I'm
uncomfortable
with,
and
also
the
the
annual
regular
fee.
I'd
like
us
to
promote
a
yearly
user
I,
let's
say
you're
a
regular
adult
and
you
use
the
bus
ten
months
of
the
year.
Q
We
should
have
an
incentive
for
you
to
use
it
12
months
of
the
year,
not
half
that
month.
The
impact
portion
so
I'd
like
to
mr.
franconi
I,
know
that
you,
you
sort
of
talked
about
this
briefly
but
I'd
like
to
understand
how
you
see
the
impact
on
ridership.
If
we
were
to
install
a
yearly,
ID,
I'll
pass,
which
would
discount,
obviously
some
of
the
months
but
overall
would
give
us
the
gains
if
we
say
that
an
average
user
uses
the
bus
for
10
months
of
the
year.
K
Mr.
mayor,
you
used
to
have
an
adult
yearly
pass.
You
got
rid
of
that
and
I
believe
it
was
2011.
You
used
to
have
what
was
called
an
eco
pass
used
to
have
a
bunch
of
other
subsidies
on
top
of
subsidies,
and
you
wanted
a
transit
system
that
was
financially
sustainable.
You
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
long-range
plan
of
plant
transit
affordability
plan
was
there.
K
So
you
know
we
did
a
good
job
last
time
of
eliminating
subsidies
on
tops
of
subsidies
and
here
you're
again,
looking
at
all
the
right
pieces
in
terms
of
the
affordability
envelope,
I
will
say
this
riders
do
do
the
math.
They
do
figure
out
what
their
options
and
cereals
are.
When
you
rolled
out
presto,
you
gave
them
very
big
incentives
and
there
are
people
that
set
it
and
forget
it
in
terms
of
an
auto
reload
or
they
do
the
math
as
to
when
they're
off
on
holidays.
K
And
that's
when
we
talked
about
the
Eco
pass
holders
when
we
eliminated
that
there
was
a
bit
of
concern
from
them,
and
we
said
it's
very
very
simple:
you
can
do
your
monthly
pass
and
if
you
have
fun
holidays
in
July
for
a
couple
of
months,
you
can
go
to
a
press
note
our
process
for
that
month,
so
I
I
know.
We
know
that
your
customers
do
that
math
and
they
look
for
the
various
options
and
scenarios
that
best
fits
their
travel
patterns
and
also
their
affordability
views.
K
Q
That's
what
I'm
saying
I'm
saying
the
same
thing
you
are
I'm
in
the
I
think
we're
in
a
game
of
increasing
writers,
of
creating
that
experience.
That's
affordable
and
I
think
that
keeping
it
month
by
month
might
actually
hurt
us
into
the
overall
usage,
because
if
we
were
to
create
a
small
incentive
that
same
user
might
instead
of
using
a
pass
for
eight
months
or
renew
it
for
ten
months,
would
then
extend
it
for
for
the
twelve
month
period
and
and
bite
the
bullet
on
that
price.
Q
R
Thanks
very
much
mr.
mayor
I'm
concerned
that
that
the
debate
so
far
is
losing
the
focus
of
why
we're
doing
this
I'm,
seeing
urban
and
core
versus
suburban
and
rural
I'm,
seeing
discussions
about
Express
riders
versus
regular
riders,
that's
really
not
what
this
is
about.
This
is
about
being
ready
for
the
opening
and
the
launch
of
the
single
biggest
infrastructure
project
we've
had
in
the
City
of
Ottawa,
it's
about
being
ready
for
the
LRT.
R
We've
talked
about
nothing
but
in
the
last
six
years
accounts
whether
it's
a
Transportation
Committee,
whether
it's
at
Fed
correlates
a
full
conce
or
transit.
It's
a
single
biggest
project.
We
can't
to
have
it
fail.
The
the
memo
that
mr.
man
Kony
and
his
team
prepared
after
the
after
the
transit
Commission
meeting,
responding
to
the
concerns
raised
by
councillor
Nussbaum
I,
think,
is
very
helpful
in
making
that
point
very,
very
clear.
R
R
We've
talked
about
the
any
number
of
reasons
why
LRT
is,
can
be
positive,
the
city
from
reducing
greenhouse
gases,
to
reducing
congestion,
to
making
the
ride
better
and
more
efficient
and
more
comfortable
for
our
users
for
attracting
more
tourism,
and
it
goes
on
and
on
and
on
that's
what
this
is
about.
That's
what
the
recommendation
is
about.
We
pick
mr.
man
Kony
and
his
team
to
lead
us
through
this
transition.
R
Everybody
has
had
the
experience
around
christmastime
or
knows
someone
around
Christmastime
you're,
very
busy
you're
running
around
you
go
and
you
buy
the
presents
for
the
kids.
It's
late,
Christmas
Eve
you
sit
down,
you
open
the
box.
You
try
and
build
the
toy
for
your
kid
to
open
on
them
on
Christmas
morning
and
guess
what
it's
two
o'clock
Christmas
morning
and
you're
missing
apart
or
the
instructions
aren't
there
or
you
don't,
have
the
batteries
and
then
what
happened
twist.
R
This
morning's
you've
got
a
crying
child
because
they
didn't
get
what
they
expected
to
get
or
a
frustrated
spouse
or
whatever
I.
Don't
want
us
to
have
that
kind
of
Christmas
morning
for
LRT
I
want
our
our
LRT
to
be
ready,
and
the
only
way
we
to
be
ready
is
if
we
give
John
and
his
team
the
appropriate
ramped
up
time
that
they
need
to
make
sure
that
the
fare
structure
is
in
place,
that
the
the
transfer
points
are
working,
that
the
technology
that
we're
going
to
need
to
use
is
going
to
work.
R
R
So
we
asked
him
to
lead
us
through
this
transition.
We
said
we
think
you
can
do
it.
Let's
support
John
Mahoney
and
his
team
in
going
forward
and
chair
blade
in
going
forward
in
making
this
transition
successful
for
all
the
residents
of
the
city
of
Ottawa,
and
so
I
will
be
definitely
supporting
these
recommendations.
Thank.
D
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
just
want
to
clarify
before
I
begin.
If
we
adopt
your
recommendation,
the
first
one,
the
adoption
of
a
new
fare
structure
is
outlined
in
this
report
and
illustrated
in
document
one
On,
January
1st.
You
will
be
basing
that
all
of
your
plans
on
those
numbers
in
document
one
I,
take
it.
That's.
D
So
then,
we
do
know
that
if
you
are
one
of
the
38,000,
I
wrote
pass
holders
and,
let's
just
let's
just
put
aside
for
now
the
fact
that
you
know
it
does
cost
more
to
move
somebody
further
than
you
know.
Ten
kilometers
15
kilometers
than
it
does
to
move
somebody
ten
blocks,
and,
let's
just
put
aside
for
a
moment
the
fact
that
it
does
that
I
could
ask
you
that.
Does
it
cost
more
to
move
somebody
20
kilometres
than
it
does
to
move
somebody
half
a
kilometre?
It
can.
Thank
you.
D
What
we're
asking
the
38,000
regular
adult
pass
holders
to
do
is
to
pay
for
18
months
six
dollars
more,
so
I'm
not
a
mathematician,
but
that's
just
over
$100,
a
hundred
and
four
dollars.
Many
of
these
38,000
are
part-time
workers.
I
would
say
that
our
low-income
residents,
who
actually
were
actually
trying
to
find
a
solution
with
the
community,
pass
for
fall
into
that
number
of
38,000.
So
those
folks
we're
asking
them
today
to
pay
104
dollars
extra
over
the
next
18
months
is
that
accurate,
I.
K
K
You
mentioned
cash:
fair,
we've
reduced
the
cash,
therefore,
or
you
mentioned
low-income
people,
one
of
the
things
we
heard
over
and
over
and
over
again
from
many
counselors
and
the
public
is
do
something
with
your
cash
fish
so
that
we
do
create
the
opportunity
that
you're
talking
about
and
by
approving
the
report,
you're
doing
exactly
that
cash
fares
are
going
down
from
515,
335,
365
down
to
35
and
so
forth.
So
we
are
reducing
the
cash
flow
for
those
people
that
do
have
limited
incomes
and
so
forth.
K
D
D
Why
today
I'm
not
talking
about
in
18
months
from
now,
but
I'm,
not
able
to
explain
to
those
38,000
residents
why?
Today,
they
should
be
paying
six
dollars
a
month,
more
then
than
other
transit
riders,
why
their
increases
going
up
and
why
104
dollars
is
coming
out
of
their
pocket.
So
for
that
reason,
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
support
the
recommendation,
I
will
be
supporting
the
motion
from
Council,
miss
Baum,
Thank,
You.
M
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
councilor,
miss
Baum
specifically
said
that
he
was
not
to
challenge
the
assertion
that
there
is
no
value
in
the
Express
bus
I
will
the
Express
bus
the
express
routes
are
door-to-door,
they
are
dependable.
They
are
transfer
free
from
the
suburbs
to
downtown.
They
are
a
significant
improvement,
overtaking
a
local
bus
to
the
Lok,
closest
transit
way
stop
and
coming
in.
They
still
have
value
the
notion
that.
M
Define
the
collapse
of
the
pay,
the
fare
classes
until
28
2018
is
going
to
create
risk
is
not
one
that,
in
the
memo
that
you
saw
me,
I
saw
sent
to
us
recently
that
I
saw
adequately
explained
I
didn't
see
any
quantification
of
the
risk.
I
didn't
see
any
technical
details
of
what
would
be
required
in
order
to
accomplish
that
in
the
switchover.
M
I
tend
to
trust
that
if
we
mandate
OC
transfer
to
accomplish
a
phased
approach
to
the
collapsing
of
the
fare
across
our
classes
in
2018
that
you
will
be
to
handle,
it
I
believe
that
if
this
council
mandates
you
to
hold
off
the
collapse
of
the
fare
increases
until
2018
that
you
will
be
able
to
do
so
in
a
way
that
works
for
the
residents
of
Ottawa
pending
any
evidence.
Otherwise,
I
am
more
than
happy
to
suggest.
M
B
O
You
and
mr.
mayor
my
first
question
to
you.
Mr.
Mahoney
is
about
the
presto
card
system
and
there
was
a
request
from
presto
to
have
a
different
post
structure
with
the
City
of
Ottawa
for
the
services
and
I.
Understand
that,
because
I
know
we're
probably
under
paying.
But
having
said
that,
have
we
negotiated
a
new
payment.
K
K
It's
too
early
to
tell
what
they've
signaled
to
us
is.
There
is
a
an
increase
coming
and
we're
having
very
good
dialogue
with
them
in
terms
of
the
Ottawa
model,
we're
fortunate
and
that
we
have
a
very
good
system
and
what
you've
decided
on
as
a
council
with
the
Fairgate
system
is,
could
lead
to
some
efficiencies
that
Metrolinx
is
now
being
apprised
of.
So
we're
having
good
discussions,
and
it's
just
too
early
to
say
what
the
order
of
magnitude
would
be
so.
O
K
O
Won't
ask
you
what
they
are
I
get
that
so
I
had
to
disagree
with
my
colleague
here
who
said
this
is
all
about
the
introduction
of
LRT
and
being
ready
in
2018
and,
of
course,
that's
a
huge
consideration.
We
do
need
to
be
ready
in
2018,
but
it's
not
just
about
that
anytime.
You
have
a
major
change
in
your
fare
structure.
O
It's
it's
not
very
many
that
just
have
I
simplified
fare
structure
which
is
being
put
in
front
of
us
now
so
I
mean
I,
guess
for
me
the
question
really
boils
down.
Have
we
done
the
analysis?
Have
we
done
the
focus
groups?
Have
we
done
the
public
consultation
and
have
we
ensured
that
there's
really
fairness
in
this
new
system.
K
Mr.
mayor
a
couple
comments
on
that
on
the
work
that
Metrolinx
and
TransLink
are
doing
there,
you
know
the
fair
by
distance
in
options
and
policies
stuff.
That
is
very
good
work.
You
made
that
decision
many
many
years
ago
when
you
proceed
with
the
LRT
fare
by
distance,
is
not
an
option.
That's
on
the
table.
You
approve
the
design
of
the
LRT
system.
You
subsequently
approve
the
fare
gate
process
and
so
forth,
so
that
decision
has
gone
past
us
many
many
years
ago.
What's.
K
Of
the
platform's,
the
hallways,
the
corridors,
the
entire
configuration
of
the
stations
are
not
designed
for
fair
by
zone
infrastructure
and
your
bus
systems
and
the
stations
you
were
either
gonna
go
poof
of
purchase
or
fare
gates,
and
we
brought
a
report
to
you
a
few
years
ago,
last
term
of
council
and
you
proved
fare
gates.
So
you
can't
do
fair
by
zone
that
has
the
LRT
that
ship
has
sailed.
So
what
Metrolinx
and
what
TransLink
are
doing?
K
Is
they
have
integrated
systems
that
they
need
to
connect
the
dots
on
they
got
the
go,
transit
commuter
rail
they've
got
in
the
g
th
area.
They've
got
eight
or
nine
jurisdictions
they're
trying
to
get
them
onto
common
fare
points.
They
have
not
integrated
their
pesto
like
you've
done
with
sto.
They
actually
talked
to
us
about
the
work
we've
done
with
fair
integration
of
Sto
and
the
consultation
and
dialogue
that
you
talked
about
is
what
you
did
last
term
with
council
when
you
adopted
the
fare
table
with
the
Presto
with
all
the
alignment.
K
So
and
then
everyone
else
in
Canada
is
on
a
flat
rate
so
that
nobody
else
is
doing
fair
by
distance
and,
quite
frankly,
those
that
have
it.
Ie
Vancouver
on
the
bus
side
have
eliminated,
because
the
problems
for
the
customer
interface
and
the
infrastructure
with
the
new
store,
smart
card
and
TransLink,
is
now
looking
at
whether
they
should
eliminate
fare
by
distance
for
their
Ella
for
their
rail
system.
Also,
so.
K
K
People
understood
that
it
needed
to
be
done.
They
understood
the
complexity
of
making
sure
that
everything
is
aligned,
because
we
also
at
the
time,
talked
to
them.
What
the
wayfinding
and
the
other
elements
of
the
reports
that
let
the
last
Commission
meeting
and
there
was
mixed
reaction
as
to
the
timing.
O
Okay,
I
pulled
out
a
report
that
I
had
I
think
from
the
time
that
I
was
the
chair
of
the
transfer
Commission
back
in
2012,
from
course
strategies
and
at
the
time
they
had
done
some
focus
group
testing
on
on
this
very
concept
and
here's
the
conclusion
this
is
from
2012.
But
the
conclusion
then
was
the
one
concept.
O
K
We
one
of
the
projects
getting
ready
for
on
track.
2018
is
we
did
journey
mapping,
so
we
have
spent
the
last
year
and
a
half
assembling
customer
groups
and
taking
them
through
the
current
state,
the
2012
year
that
you
just
talked
about
and
the
future
state
of
LRT
in
what?
What
is
amazing
about
that
is.
K
We
found
out
over
a
year
and
a
half
ago
that
our
customers
truly
didn't
know
what
LRT
was
bringing
to
them
and
once
they
understood
that
all
our
tea
was
bringing
to
them
how
the
system
is
going
to
work,
the
two
things
that
are
very,
very
important
to
them:
reliability
and
the
frequency
of
service
and
so
forth.
The
discussions
started
to
change
completely
into
into
a
value
proposition
of
we
did
not
know.
This
is
all
coming.
This
is
exciting.
This
is
transformational.
This
is
no
reliable
transit
system
and
they
start
to
have
a
different
conversation.
K
So
that
view
that
you
have
there
I'm.
Definitely
with
that
report
was
a
snapshot
in
2012
when
we
were
just
starting
the
LRT.
Now
those
focus
group
that
some
members
of
our
Transit
Commission
have
participated
in.
They
have
a
better
understanding
and
the
dialogue
is
different
than
what
we
were
seeing
in
2012.
They,
they
talk
more
about
the
value
proposition
on
reliability
and
service
frequency.
K
O
O
I'd
like
to
see
that
my
last
question
is
around
the
impact
on
ridership,
because
I
do
worry,
that
with
such
a
significant
increase
to
our
bread-and-butter
customers
so
far
out
from
the
change
that
it
will
adversely
impact
our
ridership
and
I.
Just
wonder
what
studies
have
been
completed
to
indicate
what
impact
this
is
going
to
have.
K
K
If
it
was
a
fare
increase
in
isolation,
you
could
apply
that
when
you
layer
on
the
transformation
that
you're
doing
many
things
have
just
talked
about
in
terms
of
the
benefits
of
LRT
I
would
I
would
struggle
to
find
anyone
on
staff
and
externally
that
could
give
you
an
accurate
forecast
as
to
what
this
fare
table
recommendation
would
do
when
you
layer
on
all
the
other
things
as
you
choose
massive
transformation.
So
there's
a
wall
levers
that
would
push
in
poll
councillors.
K
K
K
You're
gonna
have
to
see
the
rollout
of
a
V
LRT
and
see
what
that
does
things
could
go
up?
Things
could
go
down,
there's
other
things.
If
you
look
at
the
report
and
the
SGS
study
that
we
sent
out
with
my
memo,
there
are
many
many
factors
that
used
to
ridership
and
there's
many
new
factors
that
affect
ridership.
So
we
would
certainly
look
a
look
at
it
and
happy
to
talk
about
seniors
that
we'd
have
to
do
but
again,
I
emphasize
the
transit
affordability
plan,
which
is,
is
a
critical
component
to
your
strategic
agenda.
P
P
That's
the
number
applied
to
the
increases
over
inflation
that
we
would
see
on
January,
1st,
2017
I
think
we
need
to
do
what
we
can
to
stabilize
ridership,
and
the
other
thing
that
came
out
in
the
report
last
week
is
that
we
know
that
decreasing
fares
will
not
bring
back
riders
according
to
the
same
expert.
So
if
we
find
ourselves
in
the
conundrum
of
having
lost
riders,
it's
going
to
be
difficult
to
get
them
back
now.
P
If
we
can
hold
on
to
these
folks
until
mid
2018,
then
I
think
we're
in
excellent
shape,
because
we
know
we're
gonna
get
expected,
increases
in
comfort
and
convenience
at
that
time.
So
really,
our
job
in
my
mind,
is
to
hold
on
to
our
riders
between
now
and
summer
of
2018
and
then
and
then,
hopefully
see
some
growth.
So
for
that
reason,
I
do
think
we
need
to
do
something
about
this
fare
table.
P
I've,
put
forward
the
idea
of
holding
off
for
now
and
agreeing
to
the
phase
of
the
express
routes
and
in
order
to
find
a
solution
to
that
problem
that
doesn't
have
the
regular
monthly
pass
holders
bearing
the
brunt,
which
is
going
to
lead
to
the
losses
I've
already
identified.
That
said,
you
know
I'm,
certainly
open
to
seeing
how
we
can
solve
the
problem
of
the
express
routes
in
the
context
of
our
upcoming
budget
and
if
we
find
one
that
works
that
equitably
distributes
the
cost
of
eliminating
the
express
routes.
P
18
months
before
the
LRT
comes
online.
I
would
absolutely
be
opening
I'd
be
open
to
supporting
such
a
solution
for
a
January
1st
2017
implementation
date.
But
what
I'm
positing
through
this
motion
is
we
can't
send
out
a
signal
now
that
we're
going
to
expect
a
regular
monthly
pass
holders
to
injure
a
10%
increase,
10%
increase
in
the
price
of
the
Monthly
Pass
between
June
2016
and
January
2017.
So
that's
my
wrap-up
and
thanks
for
for
the
I,
think
important
and
robust
conversation
so.
F
S
Late
I,
thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
mayor
is
certainly
been
an
interesting
discussion
this
morning
and
and
frankly
for
the
last
year
and
a
half
since
the
term
of
council
began,
we've
been
working
to
implement
much
since
this
term
of
council
began,
we've
been
working
to
implement
much
of
the
change
residents
and
the
representatives
in
this
place
of
an
asking
for
OC
Transpo
in
2015,
we
implemented
a
million
dollars
in
new
service
improvements,
notably
on
Bank
Street,
with
shorter
waiting
times
and
increased
capacity
for
Saturdays,
Sundays
and
holidays.
S
We
provided
new
transit
access
in
the
hyung
club
area.
We
budget
budgeted
to
provide
an
additional
5,700
trips
on
para
Transpo.
We
improved
the
service
on
the
old
train
Trillian
line,
leading
to
a
23%
increase
in
ridership.
The
first
of
our
new
double
deckers
arrived
all
equipped
with
CCTV
cameras
to
make
our
system
safer
and
passenger
counters
to
help
us
plan
the
best
possible
network.
The
leadership
team
at
OSI
transfer
was
planned
and
implemented.
S
The
first
bus
transit
way
conversion
to
light
rail
in
North
America,
tens
of
thousands
of
daily
trips
affected
doom
and
gloom
predicted
by
many
around
this
table
and
what
was
the
result
near
perfection?
Certainly,
there
were
some
speed
bumps
along
the
way,
but
even
the
harshest
critics
have
complimented
the
team
on
how
well
it's
gone.
S
Essentially,
when
our
new
council
took
office,
we
look
at
Calgary
reported
in
the
Calgary
Herald
May
16th
of
this
year.
Their
ridership
is
down
4.8%
reported
in
the
in
the
Toronto
Star.
The
TTC
has
a
30
million
dollar
deficit
awaiting
them
this
year.
I
think
we
should
be
complimenting
our
management
team
at
OC
Transpo
for
doing
a
very,
very
good
job.
During
the
2016
budget,
we
heard
a
number
of
concerns
of
affairs,
particularly
from
our
most
vulnerable
and
community,
with
the
support
of
the
mayor
and
Transit
Commission
members
we
set
out
to
address
these
concerns.
S
We
heard
that
cash
fares
were
too
high.
This
recommendation
reduces
the
cash
fare
we
heard.
Odsp
recipients
and
seniors
could
not
afford
the
same
increases
as
others.
This
recommendation
keeps
both
those
rates
the
same.
We
heard
that
parents
were
having
a
tough
time
bringing
their
kids
on
the
bus.
This
recommendation
reduces
the
child's
fare.
We
worried
that
youth
in
our
community,
who
were
undecided
about
their
future
or
pursuing
a
non-academic
path,
were
being
discriminated
against
with
high
fare
prices.
This
report
recommends
bringing
1,400
more
young
people
into
the
youth
discount
category.
S
We
heard
for
years
for
residents
on
ODSP,
arguably
amongst
the
most
vulnerable
citizens
in
our
city,
that
paying
more
or
topping
up
to
use.
Para
Transpo
was
a
burden
they
could
not
bear.
After
years
of
hearing
this
concern,
this
recommendation
eliminates
the
top-up.
All
of
these
measures
are
being
done
within
the
long
term
financial
framework
for
transit,
which
makes
both
stage
one
and
stage
two
of
the
Confederation
line,
viable
implemented
in
Confederation
line
and
transitioning
to
a
multi
modal
operation
is
arguably
the
most
important
issue
facing
our
city.
S
There
are
huge
risks
that
the
management
team
at
OC,
Transpo
and
departments
across
the
corporation
have
been
working
to
mitigate
today's
recommendations
are
critical,
our
critical
part
of
that
work.
It
informs
the
timeline
and
facilitates
the
transition
to
ensure
that
2018
goes
as
well
as
we
all
want
it
to
and
as
well
as
we
all
need
it
too.
There's
been
discussion
about
the
connect
WA
T
with
the
Express
issue.
S
One
of
our
challenges
is
that
the
premium
that
we've
been
offering
the
premium
service
that
we've
been
offering
has
been
eroding
over
time
and
beyond
that
we
have
that
same
service
in
neighborhoods
who
are
not
paying.
The
Express
fare
the
number
40
in
blossom
Park.
Does
the
neighborhood
goes
direct
downtown
on
the
trans
away?
They
pay
a
regular
bus
fare
that
is
wholly
inequitable.
Mr.
mayor,
we
have
a
dedicated,
professional
and
highly
competent
leadership
team
at
OC
Transpo.
They
managed
one
of
the
biggest
and
most
efficient
public
transit
systems
in
North
America.
S
They
have
demonstrated
repeatedly
that
when
we
put
our
trust
in
them,
they
will
deliver.
They
have
recommended
this
new
fare
structure
as
the
best
thing
for
the
city
and
for
public
transit,
they've
recommended
it
be
implemented
in
January
of
2017,
and
they
have
detailed
why
it
is
a
colossal
mistake
not
to
I
urge
everyone
to
vote
for.
The
recommendation
has
presented
not
to
delay
and
let's
get
on
with
building
a
world-class
public
transit
system.
Great.
B
Thank
you
very
much,
I'd
like
to
say
a
few
words
on
this
issue.
We
make
a
lot
of
decisions
around
this
table,
some
of
them
very
big,
some
of
them
not
so
big
and
I.
Think
you'll
agree
that
the
few
qualifiers
true
city
building
decisions
and
the
last
term
of
council
we
had
to
make
some
tough
decisions
to
optimize
routes.
Your
honor
Delia
members
of
all
pleaded
last.
B
The
venture
of
transit,
our
colleague
councillor
Dean's,
convinced
council,
that
on
balance,
this
was
good
for
the
long
term,
financial
sustainability
of
OC
Transpo,
and
we
supported
her
through
a
very
tough
decision
making
process.
Today
the
motion
he
put
forward
we're
being
asked
to
carve
out
a
large
part
of
our
general
manager
of
transits
recommendation
of
the
transit
Commission
and
to
vote
on
just
that
piece.
B
If
you
compare
today's
debate
with
route
optimisation-
and
that
would
be
like
saying,
let's
take
all
of
the
savings
and
carve
out
all
of
the
route
changes,
we
don't
like
and
vote
on
them
separately.
The
vast
majority
of
changes
proposed
by
transit
staff
were
unanimously
carried
by
a
transit
Commission
on
June
15th
of
this
year,
when
members
of
the
transit
Commission
had
a
close
look
at
the
work
staff.
