Ottawa City Council meeting – February 24, 2016
Agenda and background materials can be found at http://www.ottawa.ca/agendas
A
A
In
his
77th
year,
mister
Reitsma
served
as
a
counselor
for
Ward
2
Fitzroy
and
a
former
township
of
West
Carlton
from
1974
to
1982
and
again
from
1988
to
2000.
I
know
that
councillor
al-sham
theory
represented
the
city
at
the
funeral
and
was
a
friend
of
mr.
Wright's
now,
and
our
thoughts
and
prayers
go
out
to
Bert's
family
and
all
those
affected
by
his
passing.
Please
join
me
in
a
moment
of
silence
and
commemoration
mr.
Wright's,
when
at
the
same
time
we
use
that
time
for
a
moment
of
personal
reflection,.
A
C
You
very
much
and
good
morning,
your
worship,
fellow
colleagues

gentlemen,
this

I
had
the
privilege

I
would
like

she
couldn't
make

very
excited

This
morning,
your

fellow
councillors,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
the
st.
Pius,
the
tenth
glee
club.
D
A
Well,
thank
you
very
much
to
the
glee
club
from
pious
and
Thank
You
counsel
Washington
for
suggesting
that
great
start
to
our
meeting
today.
At
this
time,
I'd
like
to
invite
Elizabeth,
there's
a
row
to
the
podium
for
this
meetings.
City
builder
award
presentation,
welcome,
Elizabeth
and
Elizabeth
councillor
Jeff
leaper,
also
to
join
us
as
a
little
Cecil
Cole,
see.
I
would.
A
A
Hello
to
mom,
luckily,
despite
being
25
and
five
months
pregnant
with
her
first
child
Elizabeth,
was
surprised
to
find
a
rare
genetic
mutation
which
allowed
her
to
qualify
for
alternative
forms
of
treatment
and
research
in
lung
cancer.
Elizabeth
found
that
where
it
is
the
most
frequent
killer
among
cancers,
the
stigma
attached
to
the
lung
cancers
of
smokers
disease
means
a
disproportionately
low
share
of
cancer.
Research
funding
is
allocated
to
it.
Turning
is
impasse
into
opportunity.
A
Elizabeth
decided
to
become
an
advocate
for
lung
cancer
awareness
and
to
do
all
she
can
to
change
the
image
and
the
conservation
conversation
rather
around
lung
cancer.
Elizabeth
has
offered
his
services
as
a
spokesperson
and
fundraiser
to
lung
cancer,
Canada
and
team
draft.
A
lung
cancer
awareness
and
advocacy
stationed
in
the
States,
founded
in
2011
by
NFL
player,
Chris
draft
and
his
late
wife,
Keisha
Lizabeth,
took
the
opportunity
to
raise
funds
for
lung
cancer.
Awareness
last
fall
by
designing
and
manufacturing
white
leather,
Just,
Breathe,
bracelets
and
I.
Think
you
have
one
right
here.
Thank
you.
A
A
F
Thank
you
so
much.
It
is
an
honor
to
receive
this
award
today
as
a
26
year
old
nonsmoker,
who
was
diagnosed
with
advanced
stage,
lung
cancer,
when
I
was
five
months,
pregnant
I
am
living
proof
that
anyone
with
lungs
can
get
lung
cancer.
It
is
time
to
stop
the
stigma
and
learn
about
lung
cancer.
Lung
cancer
is
a
public
health
problem
that
needs
to
be
taken
care
of
no
matter
how
it
came
to
be.
Lung
cancer
kills
more
communities
a
year
than
breast
colon
and
ovarian
cancers
combined
and
is
extremely
underfunded.
F
It
is
the
world's
number
one
cancer
killer.
It
only
receives
seven
percent
of
government
funding
and
one
percent
of
personal
donations.
Young
lung
cancer
is
on
the
rise,
particularly
in
young
non-smoking.
Women
and
research
needs
to
be
funded,
to
figure
out
why,
with
a
five
year,
survival
rate
of
only
16%
few
lung
cancer
patients
are
able
to
stand
up
here
and
advocate
for
the
funding
that
is
so
desperately
needed.

The

more
than

million
dollars
for
the
United

solid
Ottawa

raised
or
100

the
money
you
have
helped
to
raise
will
go
towards
making
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
those
in
our
city
that
need
it
most
an
extremely
pleased
to
announce
that,
as
of
February
6
2016,
the
campaign
has
exceeded
our
goal
of
here
at
seventy-five
thousand
dollars
and
has
raised
more
than
three
hundred
and
eighty
five
thousand
dollars.
The
united
way's
tells
us
that
this
is
enough
to
change.
A
1376
lives
right
here
in
Ottawa,
I'd
like
to
take
an
opportunity
to
recognize
and
celebrate
the
efforts
of
our
employees
in
making
this
year's
United
Way
campaign
a
huge
success.
Employees,
as
we
all
know,
are
the
some
hills
that
have
made
a
real
connection
with
his
important
philanthropic
campaign.
Bizarre
ploy,
so
the

Delambre
employees.

A
The
United
Way
helps
the
city,
deliver
excellent
services
to
our
residents
in
need
and
creates
lasting
positive
changes
in
our
community
running.
A
great
team
requires
great
leaders
like
Dan
Shah
and
Lisa

of
departmental
representatives
on
behalf
of
management
in
the
entire
city,
and
my
colleagues
and
city

I'd
like
to
extend
my
very
best
to
those
city
employees
for
stepping
up
as
heroes
for
United

to
make
this

And

and
thank
you

Next
is
the
OC
Transpo
ATU
settlement
I
know
that
many
members
of
council
were
here
for
the
transit
commission.
I'd
ask
a
counselor
bleh
if
he
could
introduce
the
two
motions
seconded
by
Councillor
caucus.
Thank.
J
You
very
much
mr.
mayor
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
management
team
and
the
bargaining
team
from
OC
transfer
for
the
long
hours
that
went
into
achieving
these
agreements.
Typically
getting
a
phone
call
from
John
Mahoney
at
3
o'clock
in
the
morning
is
not
good
news,
but
in
this
case
I
think
it
was
very
good
news
for
city
and
for
OC
Transpo
riders
in
particular.

A
Comments
on
the
motion,
I'll
just
start
offer
them
a
couple
of
comments
because
says:
I've
mentioned
this
item
was
dealt
with
and
we
invite
all
members
of
council
to
attend
the
transit
Commission
meeting.
But,
as
all
of
you
know,
by
now,
this
four-year
collective
agreement
between
the
city
and
local
279
of
the
ATU
offers
labor
stability
to
over
2,200
OC
Transpo
employees,
including
all
bus
operators.
The
deal
that
was
reached
is
within
the
mandate
given
by
City
Council
to
OC,
transpose
management
last
spring
and
shows
good
faith
from
all
parties
involved.

as
John
man,
Kony
and
his
team

and
the
entire

Commission.
The
fact
that
we
were
able
to
reach
a
tentative
deal
prior
to
the
expiry
of
the
current
contractor
demonstrates
our
city's
positive
relationship
with
our
union
partners
with
guaranteed
labor
stability
until
year
2020.
This
deal
comes
at
a
critical

surly
/,
please
Thank.
E
You
mr.
mayor,
as
this
machine
now
came
originally
to
committee,
it
may
have
left
the
impression
with
some
of
our
stakeholders
that
we
would
be
tools
down
in
the
run-up
to
the
final
regulations
for
the
the
waste
free
Ontario
Act
I
have
a
mending
language
that
makes
it
clear
that
we
city
is
continuing
to
work
on
some
important
parts
of
our
waste
reduction
strategy.
The
changes
have
been
done
in
conjunction
with
with
staff
as
well.
E
Approve
the
delay
of
the
service
delivery,
review
of
solid
waste
management
services,
the
completion
of
the
city's
waste
plan
and
any
related
programs
and
policies
affected
by
the
proposal
proposed
a
legislation
until
the
municipal
role
is
clarified,
on
the
understanding
that
a
staff
will
continue
to
promote
and
educate
residents
on
waste
reduction,
reuse
and
recycling.
Be
staff
will
continue
to
monitor
and
assess
the
performance
of
the
city's
waste
diversion
programs.
A
A
Finance
and
Economic
Development
Committee
report

a
nuisance
mosquito

I
know
there'll,
be
questions
on
that.
So
we'll
come
back
to
that
planning
committee
report,
number

and
the
committee
did
a
little
bit:

flurry
I.
D
Just
want
to
thank
provincial
partners
this
and
the
local
councillor.
For
for
this,
it
was
a
complex
initiative
as
it
a
health
hub
and
there's
so
elements
that
were
working
on
relating
to
the
community
garden.
So
I
want
to
thank
that
the
counselor,
but
also
our
provincial
partners,
Minister
Australian
Minister
Naqvi,
really
helped
us
in
this
regards.
Thank.

You

Does
anyone
wish
to
remove
anything
from

bulk

agenda
at
this
time?
No
on
the
boat
consent
agenda
as
presented
carried
okay,
so
we
will
come
back
to
Environment
Committee
comments
on
the
proposed
waste-free,
Ontario,
Act
and
draft
strategy.
Councillor
hubely
has
a
question
Thank.
K
K
What's
the
impacts,
if
you
recall,
at
the
end
of
the
last
term
of
council,
we
had
quite
a
discussion
about
the
need
to
play
catch-up
after
the
the
loss
of
PLAs
Co,
on
investigating
alternatives
for
managing
our
waste
and
reducing
our
waste
even
more
importantly
and
I'm,
just
wondering
what
the
impacts
on
those
initiatives
would
be
we're
going
to
not
make
any
progress
or
what
those
as
Dixon
here.
Maybe
he
can
answer.
L
But
if
I
can
explain
that
that
the
city
is
following
a
waste
management
hierarchy
that
has,
as
its
premier
first
three
steps,
the
3
R's
being
reused,
reduce
and
recycle
before
getting
into
the
residual
management
piece,
which
was
what
we
were
looking
to
PLAs
Co
to
manage,
because
those
first
three
steps
are
under
a
pretty
significant
state
of
flux.
With
the
change
to
the
waste,
freon
tale
becomes
very
difficult
to
be
able
to
predict
and
carry
out
the
analysis
on
that
fourth
step
being
the
residual
management.
So
at
this
point
what
this?
L
What
this
report
is
indicating
that,
with
Council's
approval
that
we
continue
to
participate
in
the
development
of
the
waste
free
Ontario
acts?
They
are
best,
of
course,
of
technological
change,
but
not
proceed
precipitously
or
prematurely
on
addressing
the
residual
management
piece,
because
it
is
going
to
be
very
dramatically
affected
by
the
the
provinces.
Change
in
regulation,
I.
K
L
K
L
B
Direction
of
Estes
that
said
committee
last
week,
do
we
have
a
timeline
on
when
we
expect
the
province
to
actually
do
is
over
this
side
we
had
Metz
I,
remember
meeting
with
the
minister
to
three
years
ago
about
this
and
they
were
working
on
it
then
I
know
they.
Don't
they
don't
really
move
the
fastest
when
it
comes
to
waste
matters
at
the
province
over
security,
you
know.
B
L
Correct
we
don't
believe
that
we'll
have
a
firm
understanding
because
of
course,
before
we
go
out
to
contract,
we
would
need
to
carry
out
a
service
level
review
and
then
go
to
tender
and
then
provide
twelve
months
for
the
contractors
to
procure
all
the
necessary
vehicles
and
things
that
lead
time
when
combined
with
the
two
to
five
years
that
they
currently
think
will
push
us
beyond
the
current
contract
provisions.
And
for
that
reason
we've
sought
Council's
approval
to
extend
the
two
series
of
contracts.
L
Think
other
municipalities
are
looking
at
their
own
contracts
in
their
own,
we're,
not
all,
of
course,
on
the
same
timeline
and
then
there
are
different
service
approaches.
I
do
know
that,
generally
speaking,
the
municipalities
are
taking
a
wait-and-see
attitude
towards
men,
much
of
this
change,
and
it
certainly
does
alter
whether
or
not,
for
instance,
you've
got
facilities
that
are
involved
in
these
discussions.
L
B
L
Chair
through
you
to
the
councillor
we
are,
the
province
has
recognized
the
fact
that
the
IC
and
I
sector
has
fallen
well
behind
the
residential
sector
and
is
through
this
regulatory
change,
trying
to
move
them
to
a
much
greater
cycling
participation.
Our
involvement
in
the
review
and
generation
of
the
new
regulations
will
certainly
be
coming,
or
we
will
be
providing
that
input
that,
from
a
community
perspective,
we
need
to
ensure
that
all
groups,
not
just
the
residential
with
the
Iceni
sector
as
well,
need
to
participate
much
more
readily
in
recycling
in
diversion.
So.
D
L

Because,
as
a
member
of
the
Environment
Committee
last
term,
I
recall
that
some
of
the
strategies
for
the
master
plan
actually
were
hindered
from
us
not
having
a
fulsome
approach
to
the
entire
sector.
So
I
hope
that
going
forward
as
review
components
that
we
factor
in
all
of
the
possibilities
for
the
entire
entire
diversion
possibilities,
opportunities
on
our
city,
boundaries
and.
A
M
Think
perhaps
it's
the
wire
and
me
but
I'm,
not
crazy,
but
the
wording
in
the
last
paragraph
until
the
regulations
and
statements
under
the
proposed
ways.
Free
Ontario,
active,
fully
understood.
That
seems
to
be
a
little
bit.
Loosey,
goosey
and
and
maybe
looking
the
legal
for
this-
to
give
some
sense
of
what
the
tipping
point
might
be
as
to
when
we
write
fully
understand,
because
it
seems
that's
the
catalyst
to
whether
we
move
forward
or
we
don't
move
forward.
J
C
B
Just
like
just
well
I
appreciate
the
the
members
concern
I'm
advised
that
staff
worked
on
this
if
the
number
would
like
I
will
have
a
moment
to
just
check
and
see
if
there's
something
more
suitable
than
wording
to
try
to
ensure
that
it's
not
vague
or
ambiguous
in
there
I'd
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
A
N

Yes,
it
was
brought
to
our
attention
by
at
least
one
delegation
at
Environment
Committee,
that
the
way
the
report
and
recommendations
read
at
the
time
left,
the
impression
the
city
was
just
essentially
standing
down
and
waiting
until
the
province
gave
us
clearer
direction,
whereas
in
fact
the
city
fully
intends
to
continue
doing
what
we
do
and
if
I
might
characterize
it
only
better.
So
doing
the
same
things
we
do
now,
but
continue
to
look
at
how
we
can
achieve
better
participation
rates,
better
diversion
rates
etc.
N
But
such
fundamental
changes
to
the
way
in
which
you
know
that
the
producer
may
be
full
extended
producer
responsibility
where
imagine
a
bottler,
that's
fully
responsible
for
taking
back
their
own
material.
That
would
have
a
fundamental,
create
fundamental
changes
to
what
we
collect
and
how
we
collect
it
and
the
money
that
we
do
or
don't
get
from
it.
So
any
long-term
plan
that
envisages
major
changes
like
that
would
be
foolish
foolhardy
to
go
right
through
on
at
the
moment.
N
B
A
To
the
mover
and
seconder
that
we
change
fully
understood
to
are
finalized
agreed
cut,
strangle
I
agree.
Thank
you
for
raising
that.
So
on
the
motion.
Sorry
counselor
Qadri.
Did
that
clarify
the
issue
you
wanted
to
raise?
Yes,
it
doesn't
mister
man.
Thank
you
Kay
great.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
participation
on
the
motion
carried
and
on
the
main
report,
as
amended
carried.
A
O
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
mayor.
It's
on
the
screen
now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
with
City
Council
approved
that
recommendation
to
see
the
amendment
to
read
as
follows:
that
staff
working
with
a
sponsor's
group,
consisting
of
the
chairs
of
environment,
transportation
and
planning
committees
and
the
chair
of
the
Transit
Commission,
be
directed
to
assess
ways
in
which
the
city
can
help
improve
the
energy
performance
of
new
and
existing
residential
and
commercial
buildings.
O
For
example,
a
green
building
checklist
promote
sustained
new
construction,
a
green
retrofit
renovation
checklist
to
promote
the
upgrading
of
existing
buildings,
guidelines
and
resources
for
better
building
performance
and
working
with
province
of
Ontario
to
progressively
raised
building
energy
performance
standards
mandated
through
the
provincial
Building,
Code
and
report
back
to
the
appropriate
standing
committees
and
Council
with
recommended
approaches
and
mr.
mayor,
if
I
could
just
have
a
couple
of
moments
to
speak
to
this
because
I'm
sure
that
many
people
are
wondering
why
is
John
harder?
O
Moving
this
amendment
to
motion
on
climate
change,
but
I
I
am
I've
met
with
a
counselor
and
chenko
a
couple
of
times.
Now
on
this
issue,
and
and
I
can
say
that
staff
mrs.
Sneden,
has
been
meeting
with
the
industry
on
the
building
industry
on
this
too
and
so
I
think
it's
important
that
we,
we
really
don't
put
all
of
our
eggs
into
the
built
into
the
new
bill
basket
because,
quite
frankly,
it's
already
doing
a
very
much
an
Ontrack
job.
O
So
I
look
at
this
as
a
very
holistic
approach
and
I
did
have
lots
of
questions
as
to
how
the
targets
would
be
set
and
success
is
measured
and
I
continue
to
believe
that
this
process
will
be
successful
if,
through
the
process
of
assessing
the
climate
change
impacts
and
how
we
plan
to
mitigate
those
impacts
that
we
base
the
founding
assessments
on
fact.
That
fact
not
just
a
sense
or
a
feeling
or
as
some
are
concern
of
fiction.
For
example.
O
Many
would
think
that
new
construction
could
use
a
new
regulation
or
two
in
order
to
improve
and
that
this
improvement
would
see
drastic
greenhouse
gas
emission
reductions
and,
in
fact,
development
industry
must
be
low-hanging.
Fruit,
not
true,
and
in
fact
the
new
housing
and
commercial
building
industry
is
an
underappreciated
Canadian
success
story.
Let
me
give
you
a
few
fun
facts.
Despite
having
38%
more
houses
in
Canada
than
in
1998
residential
admissions
overall
are
down.
O
11%
and
new
houses
are
47%
more
efficient
than
in
1985,
and
this
improvement
has
not
been
through
codes,
but
through
ongoing
innovation
and
voluntary
improvement.
Much
of
it
thanks
to
government
and
industry
collaboration
in
research
and
development
and,
lastly,
houses
today
use
third
of
the
energy
of
a
house
that
was
built
in
1975,
and
really
this
is
the
kicker.
O
Why
am
I
giving
you
all
these
facts,
because
I
want
us
to
realize
that
we
must
be
thoughtful
and
realistic?
With
this
motion,
we
must
identify
the
real
low-hanging,
fruit
and
action
accordingly,
we
must
set
targets
that
are
aggressive
yet
reachable
and
they
must
be
real
and
they
must
be
measurable
and
we
must
leave
preconceived
motions
notions
at
the
door
and
find
real
and
meaningful
process
to
reduce
our
footprint
for
future
generations.
O
My
amendment
calls
for
all
changes
affecting
the
greenhouse
gas
reductions
in
climate
change
to
be
considered
by
that
sponsor
group
that
I
included
in
the
motion,
which
is
to
include
the
chairs,
as
I
said
from
environment,
transit,
transportation
and
planning,
so
that
each
proposal
to
reduce
climate
impacts
in
our
city
can
be
fully
considered,
measured
and
vetted
Thank
You.
Mr.
mayor.
A
C
You,
your
worship,
just
the
questions
for
the
mover,
the
inclusions
of
the
chairs
of
Transportation
and
transit.
Obviously
they
don't
have
a
lot
of
dealings
with
the
bid,
the
buildings,
but
it's
because
the
greenhouse
gases
as
comprehensive
that
and
that's
why
they're
being
included
it's
just
I
thought
this
was
more
focused
on
on
the
existing
buildings
and
renovations.
Who
can
answer
that?
Well.
A
P
O
They
obviously
I
mentioned
the
planning
and
and
the
fact
that,
probably
you
you
may
not
be
aware
that,
for
example,
we
don't
have
the
right
to
change.
We
have
to
work
with
the
province.
Province
has
the
lead
on
the
building
codes,
but
certainly
with
transportation,
I
mean
and
everything
that
transportation
is
over,
we're
going
to
have
the
low-hanging
food
as
definitely
cars.
It's
definitely
vehicles
well
in
both
of
those
shops.
O
We've
got
quite
a
few
of
those
and
I
think
that
it's
very
important
that
we
be
looking
at
each
of
the
measures
that
it
should
come
back
to
the
committee.
That's
going
to
be
impacted
and
having
the
eyes
of
the
chair
of
either
of
those
or
myself,
for
example,
working
with
the
chair
of
the
environment,
is
absolutely
crucial,
I
think
to
having
that
measure
vetted
aerated
and
go
forward
so
that
we're
we're
all
on
the
same
page
moving
forward
and
we
can
connect
with
our
committees
as
need
be
I.
Just.
C
O
Councillor,
quite
frankly,
we
don't
know
that
yet
because
today
we
started
part
one
of
the
process,
then
staff
will
take
tante.
Their
due
diligence
mean
I,
don't
know,
maybe
haven't
been
on
a
sponsored
group
before,
but
those
of
us
that
have
been
on
sponsored
groups
can
tell
you
that
staff
work
very
hard.
They
bring
to
us
they
state
if
they
check
the
water.
If
you
will
by
saying
you
know
Yes
No,
maybe
so,
and
we
go
absolutely
not
or
you're
on
the
right
track.
O
They
come
back
and
that's
the
value
of
having
a
sponsor
group
in
place
with
the
right
people
on
it.
Mr.
mayor
and
so
I
can't
I
can't
say
that
I
mean
I.
Don't
think
that
counts.
Return
of
Jenko
can
say
that,
and
he's
certainly
been
inside
the
the
tent
working
on
this
for
quite
a
while
now
I
appreciate.
C
N
If
I
may
just
try
to
address
this
question
and
then
still
leave
myself
the
ability
to
perhaps
sum
up
in
the
main
motion-
yes,
the
short
answer
is
we
don't
know,
maybe
it
is
open-ended,
but
with
the
full
intention
to
do
it
as
efficiently
as
possible.
These
are
issues
that
I
believe
are
urgent
to
address,
so
there's
absolutely
no
benefit
in
taking
longer
than
necessary,
but
on
the
other
hand,
we
want
to
do
it
well.
So
that
leaves
us
with
no
better
answer
for
you
today.
D
Q
Just
have
two
small
questions:
I
missed
the
Environment
Committee
I'm,
sorry,
but
I
was
questioning
myself
on
two
components:
the
selection
of
the
2012
year;
I'm,
sorry,
I,
don't
really
understand,
I,
wonder
if
my
colleague
could
clarify
this
for
me
and
one
of
the
critic
was
that
we
are
targeting
a
certain
goal.
Can
we
have
firm
criteria
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
the
formula
of
a
five-year
review
is
appropriate
for
like
transportation
master
plan
or
Opitz,
where
there
are
every
five
years
a
review
process
as
this
ink
is
this
included
and
what
is
being
presented?
N
Yes,
I'll
do
my
best,
but
perhaps
I
will
turn
to
staff
to
to
remind
me
and
us
what
the
current
we
do
have
an
air
quality
and
climate
change
management
plan.
This
is
in
a
sense
meant
to
supplement
that,
but
I
would
envisage
that
on
a
regular
basis.
Is
it
every
four
years
that
the
aq
CCMP
would
we
would
typically
review,
or
has
that
decision
ever
been
made
by
a
counsel
as
to
what
its
update
period
would
be
three.
L
A
K
You
mr.
mayor
I'll
comment
on
the
main
report.
I'm
deeply
conflicted
with
this,
because
I
appreciate
the
work
of
councillor,
Shevchenko
and
and
there's
committee
on
the
efforts
except
I
was
looking
for
some
real
targets
that
we
could
achieve.
I
thought
we,
as
a
city
had
been
making
great
progress
on
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
on
our
municipal
properties
and
the
efforts
up
we
make
our
vehicles
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
K
But
I
look
around
the
country
and
I
see
cities
like
Edmonton
that
are
expected
to
reach
a
90
percent
diversion
rate
this
year
in
X,
and
we
here
in
Ottawa
struggle
to
reach
40
percent.
Why
isn't
there
targets
for
things
like
this
in
these
goals
in
Edmonton
they're,
reducing
greenhouse
gases
by
150,000
tons
a
year
and
converting
a
hundred
thousand
tonnes
of
waste
into
revenue
for
taxpayers?
K
I,
don't
understand
why
we're
not
taking
a
looking
at
serious
plans
like
Edmonton,
did
and
since
being
elected
in
2010
I've
a
staff
to
investigate
and
recommend
such
as
single
sort
programs,
which
are
well
up
and
running
in
Winnipeg
and
Fredericton.
For
example,
I've
encouraged
the
review
of
alternate
technologies
like
consideration
and
other
ideas,
and
yet
today
here
we
are
making
plans
for
2050
with
nothing
for
2020.
So
unfortunately,
I
can't
support
this
motion.
Thank
you.
Thank.
N
Thank
you,
and
perhaps
we
are
not
at
odds
as
much
as
it
may
seem,
counselor,
Bureau
or
others
who
may
have
who
did
question
the
wisdom
of
a
really
aggressive,
long
term
goal.
When
charitably,
we
have
not
been
making
particularly
good
progress
to
date
on
achieving
even
shorter
term
goals.
My
motivation,
essentially
for
bringing
this
forward
is
that
I
believe.
N
First
of
all,
we
now
know
the
best
science
is
telling
us
that
the
1.5
degree
Celsius
target
is
a
critical
breaking
point
at
which
we
are
likely
to
find
ourselves
on
a
planet
where
the
runaway
climate
change
is
something
that
fundamentally
changes
the
world
in
which
we
live.
It's
that
science
that
drives
the
target,
then
so
moving
backwards
from
that
is,
if
by
2050,
as
seems
to
have
been
internationally
acknowledged,
we
as
all
industrialized
societies.
In
fact,
all
countries
need
to
achieve
an
80%
cut.
N
Then,
let's
adopt
that
target.
So
we
are
very
clear
where
we
are
trying
to
go
so
that
that
the
ultimate
where
we
must
be
by
2050
is
set
out
there
to
as
much
as
it
can
be
carved
in
stone
or
at
least
held
up
there.
In
front
of
us,
but
then
we
have
to
work
back
from
that
and
say:
ok,
that's
great!
That's
rafty!
That's
fine,
but
we
already
have
it's
been
noted.
We
already
have
a
taq
ccmp
with
targets
for
2024.
N
We
will
be
stretching
ourselves
to
get
to
those
they're
not
were
really
working
in
opposition.
So
yes,
absolutely.
This
city
has
to
redouble
its
efforts
in
areas
like
waste
management,
the
others.
My
initiative
here
was
in
a
sense
trying
to
highlight
just
allergen
that
was
and
how
important
it
was,
so
that
we
do
do
a
better
job
in
advancing
in
the
short
term
as
well.
N
So
long
term
stretch
goal
short
term
realistic
year
by
year,
steps
the
two
ICS
complementary,
rather
than
being
in
opposition,
so
whether
that's
convincing
enough
for
councillor
hubely
to
still
has
a
chance
to
to
change
this
vote
here.
There's
absolutely
not
man
to
say:
oh
no.
We
love
this
long-term
care
target.
Forget
about
the
short-term!
No,
but
we're
going
to
have
to,
and
we
have
to
do
it
better
and
faster.
N
I
would
just
probably
use
the
five
minutes
sum
up
by
saying
aye.
We
had
an
excellent
debate.
It's
quite
clear,
at
least
by
the
delegations
and
the
and
the
public
comment
that
we
were
receiving,
that
the
citizens
of
Ottawa
are
very
much
onside,
not
universally,
never
expected
that,
but
very
much
onside
encouraging
us
and
the
hard
work
remains
to
be
done
and
I
do
want
to
thank
particularly
councillor
harder
because
she
reminded
me
something
I
knew
and
yet
was
not
reflected
in
this
motion,
which
is,
as
some
people
have
put
it.
N
80%
of
the
buildings
that
will
exist
in
2050
have
already
been
built.
Those
are
the
ones
that
need
particular
attention.
It
doesn't
mean
that
we
shouldn't
keep
trying
to
push
new
buildings
to
a
higher
standard.
What
we
should
be
doing
both
and
giving
particular
emphasis
to
the
renovation
and
retrofit
of
existing
buildings,
so
I'm
pleased
that
that
was
was
brought
forward
and
I
think
it
made
for
a
stronger,
a
stronger
motion
and
an
action
plan.
Thank
you.
A
A
Have
been
made
here,
and
certainly
at
the
Environment
Committee
earlier
this
month,
ins
I'm
not
going
to
reiterate
them,
but
they
do
show
that
we
are
taking
this
issue
seriously.
I've
had
a
number
of
meetings
in
the
last
two
weeks
with
community
groups
such
as
ecology,
Ottawa
tree
Ottawa,
the
Ottawa
Chamber
of
Commerce
Ottawa,
Centre,
eco
district,
sustainable
Eastern,
Ontario,
enviro
Centre
and
the
Ottawa
Renewable
Energy
co-op,
and
the
message
I
heard
in
these
discussions
is
much
of
the
same
I
hear
in
the
community.
A
A
Climate
change
will
be
an
even
larger
part
of
the
municipal
agenda
in
the
years
ahead
and
I
say
this
not
because
of
any
one
person
or
committee
or
project,
but
because
that's
simply
the
reality
we
face
in
the
21st
century,
there's
no
ignoring
it.
The
future
success
and
prosperity
of
any
city
will
depend
on
its
ability
to
protect
itself
from
and
adapt
to,
climate
change
and
I
think
we
are
poised
for
success.

A
Record
that
we
can
all
be
very
proud
of
were
consistently
recognized
as
a
sustainable,
livable,
bikable
walkable

we're
investing
in
zero

light
rail
transit,
which
will
bring
the
lowest
reductions
in
greenhouse

emissions
in
our
city's
history.
We're
cleaning
up
the
Ottawa
River,
we're
investing
record
amounts
and
cycling
improvements
and
road

and
we're
working

that

to
manage
this
contract,
as
described
in
this
report,
all
right
if
I
could
speak
briefly
to
all
introduce
it.
Mr.
mayor,
yep.
P
They
this
came
up
over
the
last
year,
or
so
with
the
people
that
are
concerned
about
the
number
of
mosquitoes
in
the
area.
Didn't
know
exactly
why,
but
we
do
have
a
West
Nile
Program
going
on
and
as
part
of
that
program,
they
actually
do
traps
to
catch
the
mosquitoes
in
certain
areas
of
the
city
and
they
find
the
numbers
and
the
types
of
mosquitoes
I
now
know
that
we
have
40
types
and
the
skills
here.
Four
of
them
are
involved
with
the
West
Nile
project
and
the
others
are
not.
P
What
happened
in
our
area,
for
some
reason
is
that
the
numbers
have
started
to
increase
dramatically
and
the
company
that
does
this
conference
sent
me
this
information
that
4/10
from
2010
to
2012
there
was
a
34%
increase,
but
then
you
had
compared
to
2012.
This
is
a
fairly
increases
in
2013
63%
increase
in
2014,
90
percent
increase
in
2015
63%
increase.
The
numbers
will
vary
a
bit
depending
on
the
dryness
of
the
year
etc,
but
there's
definitely
a
therm
forward.
Well,
we
don't
know
exactly
why.
P
They
also
said
that
in
collecting
mosquitoes
necessary,
then
highest
ones
were
found
in
West,
Carlton
rate
adjacent
to
Canada,
north
and
the
others
were
in
Kanata
north
and
then
the
next
one
is
in
Statesville.
So
that
area,
which
has
a
lot
of
wetlands
along
the
creeks,
it
has
natural
environment
areas,
it
has
the
Greenbelt.
Next
to
it,
we
have
a
lot
of
areas
where
mosquitoes
can
breed
and
I.
Imagine
that's
probably
why
it's
happened
so
I'm.
Looking
at
it,
we
did
some
research
with
the
city
staff,
as
I
used.
P
Dick
Stowe
has
been
and
credit
being
useful
in
looking
into
this
I
said:
I
wouldn't
do
anything
if
was
going
to
create
a
problem
to
the
environment,
because
that's
not
why
we
save
environmental
areas.
He
did
research
and
found
that
the
research
shows
that
the
use
of
this
ingredient
BTI,
which
is
a
natural
of
bacteria,
it's
actually
a
protein
that
will
affect
the
interior
of
the
mosquito
and
black
fly
larvae
because
they
have
a
very
high
pH
level
and
not
other
animals
and
other
creeks.
So
it's
a
very
effective.
It's
a
natural
material.
P
It's
not
a
chemical
and
has
been
used
for
about
35
years
around
the
world,
including
about
60
communities
in
Canada,
including
Gatineau.
It's
used
in
Winnipeg
in
their
citywide
program
as
well,
and
it's
approved
by
the
World
Health
Organization.
The
US
can
all
different
ones
for
use
in
this
brilliant.
So,
looking
into
that
aside,
the
only
way
to
do
whether
to
do
it
or
not
was
to
find
out
what
would
be
involved.
P
We
went
out
and
got
at
procurement
I
want
to
thank
the
people
in
computer
mint
who
will
helped
us
and
in
doing
that,
and
we
now
have
the
three
documents:
the
program,
the
research
program
and
the
financial
aspects.
So
we
knew
what
it
was
going
to
cost
before
I
asked
the
community
if
they
would
go
into
this,
went
out
then
to
the
community
to
get
a
feeling
for
it.
But
legally
under
this
program,
we
do
not
need
to
have
a
vote,
but
I
thought
the
community
should
have
a
say-so.
P
The
envelope
that
went
out
is
a
city
envelope
with
rather
large
words
that
say
what
it
is,
and
this
was
delivered
to
over
11,000
homes.
In
my
ward
that
pay
taxes,
some
people
say
they
didn't
get
it,
but
but
Planeta
Post
said
they
delivered
it.
So
I
had
to
take
it
that
they
did
and
we
did
about
three
or
four
hundred
hand-delivered
to
meet
them
in
other
areas.
Didn't
reach
100
percent
of
people.
P
Obviously
things
do
happen
to
these,
but
a
large
number-
and
we
have
two
thousand
five
hundred
and
twenty
five
were
returned
with
a
large
majority
in
favour.
I
had
no
idea
personally
how
at
what
was
going
to
go,
because
don't
people
like
paying
more
taxes
and
I
thought
they.
It
might
go
the
other
way,
but
it
actually,
there
was
a
strong
vote
in
favorite.
So
on
that
basis,
I
thought
for
this
recommendations
day
to
move
forward
with
the
program.
Nick
Stowe
is
here,
who's
done.
P
So
a
part
of
the
program
is
that,
with
the
University
of
Ottawa
and
independent
about
the
study
for
three
years
of
the
four-year
program
to
see
if
there
are
any
detrimental
efforts,
so
it
is
a
combination
of
the
two
programs
that
I'm
asking
for
support
with
today
and
if
they
do
get
that
they
get
this,
that's
tight
for
them,
but
they
can
get
the
permits
of
things
they
need
from
the
province.
To
actually
have
this
program
go
ahead.
This
year
they
cost
to
the
average
adult.
P
D
I
I'd,
like
to
start
by
applying
the
efforts
of
my
colleague,
I,
think
you
know
when
we
have
local
issues.
It's
it's
not
easy
to
look
into
the
matter
and
the
process
by
which
councillor
Wilkinson
one
was
the
best
one
in
front
of
us
is
really
trying
to
get
the
the
pulse
and
the
feedback
from
the
community.
D
Now
I,
you
know
unsupportive
of
the
direction
I'm
concerned
with
a
few
elements
in
the
report.
It's
too
vague
in
my
mind
the
public
health
response
in
this
I
not
aware
of
the
product,
we're
not
familiar
with
it,
hasn't
been
done
before
it's
a
use
of
a
bacteria
can.
Can
you
tell
me
more
about
the
the
health
of
you
or
their
health
component
and
the
risk
that
we
know
about
this?
Using
this
method.
H
The
three-year
mr.
mayor
I
just
have
to
qualify
and
say
that
toxicology
is
not
my
area
of
expertise,
but
in
my
review
of
the
literature
that
I
did
at
council
Wilkinson's
request.
I
did
look
at
the
the
studies
and
other
literature
regarding
the
public
health
aspects
of
the
use
of
BTI
and
the
other
BS,
which
is
the
other
larvacide
that's
being
used,
and
there
is
absolutely
no
evidence
of
any
adverse
human
health
effects
of
these
products,
which
is
not
surprising,
given
that
the
mode
of
their
action
is
so
specific
to
that
family
of
insects.
D
Yeah
I
I'm,
always
I,
recognize
you're,
not
an
expert
in
in
that
review.
I
think
that
there's
a
broader
issue
here
that
it's
something
it's
a
it's
a
something
that's
trying
to
be
leading-edge.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
no
impact
on
on
other
species
on
on
the
livelihood
of
residents,
I'm
concerned
that
we
haven't
done
more
research
with
with
chemical
gist,
and
you
know
either
from
the
health
field
like
I'm
surprised,
Public
Health
hasn't
been
more
involved
in
the
process.
H
Through
you,
mr.
chair
public
health
has
been
involved
in
the
discussions.
That
BTI
is
one
of
the
products
that
is
used
in
the
cities,
West
Nile
virus
control
program.
It
has
also
been
used
extensively
around
the
world
for
more
than
30
years,
with
absolutely
no
evidence
of
human
health
effects.
It
is
approved
for
use
in
drinking
water
in
some
areas
and
it's
been
approved
by
Canadian
American
and
other
health
agencies
around
the
world.
So.
H
E
E
What
does
that
mean
for
the
species
that
rely
on
those
as
a
food
source
I'm
taking
out
bats
specifically,
we've
had
some
lessons
raised,
concerns
around
that.
Do
we
think
that
the
the
diminishment
of
the
population
of
these
insects
is
going
to
have
any
kind
of
a
meaningful
impact
on
those
higher-order
species.
H
Through
you,
mr.
chair,
when
this
project
was
was
first
proposed,
that
is
the
concern
that
I
brought
to
the
Council
of
Wilkinson
and
which
she
asked
me
to
research
more
thoroughly
and
also
to
meet
with
with
GDG
environment,
to
assess
their
methodology
and
you're
quite
correct.
The
product
BTI
is
known
to
is
very
specific
to
a
small
family
of
insects
that
includes
mosquitoes
black
flies
and
then
a
group
called
the
non-biting
midges.
Those
non-biting
midges
form
the
basis
of
the
the
food
web.
H
Most
fundamental
level
of
the
food
web
in
most
wetland
communities,
and
so
I
did
have
a
concern
that
this
program
could
impact
wetland
communities
in
wetland,
food
chains
in
some
of
our
most
sensitive
environmental
areas,
I
went
out.
I
looked
at
the
the
research
on
that
and
first
thing,
I
established
was
that
most
studies,
the
vast
majority
of
studies,
had
shown
no
impacts
on
chironomid
that
quantum
it
is
a
Latin
for
the
the
non-biting
midges
it
had
shown
no
impacts.
Crona
meds.
H
So
my
assessment
was
that
the
the
likelihood
of
negative
environmental
impacts
was
small,
that
the
magnitude
of
any
environmental
impacts
would
likely
be
small
and
consequently,
the
risk
to
the
environment
was
low,
but
not
non-existent.
And
so
my
recommendation
to
councillor
Wilkinson
was
that
if
this
program
went
forward,
it
should
include
an
adaptive
management
program
based
upon
independent
research,
and
that,
if
that
research
program
showed
that
the
program
was
having
negative
effects
on
those
wetlands
that
the
program
should
be
discontinued
are.
E
H
Playing
with
my
mic
here,
yes,
the
the
impact
on
those
non-biting
midges
is
one
of
the
is
the
main
focus
of
the
proposed
research
program,
which
would
be
carried
out
by
a
researcher
and
his
graduate
students
from
the
University
of
Ottawa.
So
that
is
the
the
main
focus
we
would
not
likely
know
after
the
first
year.
H
The
nature
of
environmental
impacts
is
that
you
normally
have
to
monitor
over
several
years,
because
there
are
also
other
factors
that
will
influence
things
like
populations
of
midges,
so
we
proposed
a
three
year
program,
which
we
think
is
reasonable
in
terms
of
length
and
cost,
and
the
focus,
as
I
said,
is
on
those
non-fighting.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
sir
Thank.
T
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I,
just
this
is
a
very
interesting
program
that
I
know.
We've
been
all
bombarded
with
a
lots
of
email,
but
I
want
to
also
thank
my
colleague,
counselor
Wilkinson,
for
taking
interest
in
this
matter.
My
concern
is
a
little
bit
different,
a
different
angle,
and
every
time
now
we
have
an
issue
in
the
City
of
Ottawa.
As
a
council
are
we
gonna?
Are
we
setting
the
different
standard
that
we
can
fix
problems
with
a
levy?
You
know
there's
lots
of
people.
T
T
My
real
question
is:
is
this
program
we
really
wipe
out
the
whole
mosquito
issues,
or
rather
than
be
stuck
paying
this
levy
for
there
forever
and
ever,
and
that
will
never
be
able
to
the
treatment
when
you
stop
the
treatment
is
gonna
be
what's
going
to
come
back
so
these
are
like
these
are
question
and
concern
that
some
people
have.
Thank
you.
T
P
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
They
is
a
it's
a
four
year
program
because
we
wanted
to
have
the
research
program
done
also
there's
a
three
year
program,
because
that's
what
the
next
doe
had
suggested
that
we
needed
at
least
three
years
to
properly
do
that
research
program,
and
that
means
that,
at
the
end
of
that
is
one
year
left.
While
we
analyze
that
and
decide
whether
or
not
it
will
go
ahead,
it
again
be
up
to
the
residents
whether
they
want
to
continue
it.
P
I
would
I'm
going
to
be
recommending
that
we,
probably
if
they
can
have
a
vote
at
the
next
election
for
them
to
decide
whether
they
want
to
go
ahead
with
it
or
not.
Here's
something
they
are
paying
for
it.
They'd
large.
The
cost
actually
starts
to
drop
in
the
fourth
year
when
you're
not
paying
for
the
research
program
as
well,
so
the
average
cost
in
the
fourth
year
for
them
is
going
to
be
in
the
neighbor
about
fourteen
dollars,
so
isn't
but
depends
on
their
assessment.
That's
the
average.
P
So
if
it
really
is
up
to
the
residents,
they
have
asked
to
have
this
coming.
If
it
makes
a
huge
impact,
they
may
want
to
have
it
continued,
but
there's
really
not
it's
something
that
they
could
stop
at
any
time,
because
it
is
a
resident
driven
program,
not
a
personal
different
program
and
they
as
long
as
they,
the
section
of
the
Municipal
Act,
is
there
to
be
used.
P
N
Thank
you.
I
am
going
to
be
supporting
this.
This
motion,
but
I
just
wanted
to
flag
a
few
concerns
that
I
have
had
addressed,
but
really
highlight
the
importance.
First
of
all,
I
am
very
wary
of
intervention
such
as
this,
given
the
long
global
history
of
human
efforts
to
try
to
stop
one
nuisance
with
something
else
which
then
led
to
totally
unintended
consequence
and
on
and
on
the
circle
seems
to
go.
N
So
it's
absolutely
crucial
to
me
that
that
monitoring
be
in
place
and
that
there
be
a
halt
brought,
or
at
least
it
be
brought
back
to
us
quite
rapidly.
If
we
find
any
such
unintended,
you
know
consequence
coming,
particularly
in
the
area
of
as
much
as
I
could
say:
mosquitoes
they
get
no
respect.
Well,
they
probably
don't
get
any
respect
from
me.
Then
I
guess
it's
mutual.
The
fact
is
they
are
in
ecosystems.
N
They
do
play
a
role
and
so
I
think
it
would
be
unwise
of
us
to
leave,
create
an
expectation
around
this
city
that
whenever
you
have
a
nuisance
it
will
be
dealt
with.
It
will
be
dealt
with
in
some
scientific
way.
This
does
seem
to
be
a
particularly
severe
case
in
one
dare
I,
say,
isolated
or
specific
area,
and
so
I
am
prepared
to
support
this
palette.
N
We
will
certainly
learn
from
it,
but
those
are
my
real
concerns
that
we
are
monitoring
carefully
the
consequences
of
one
intervention
and
that
we
are
not
just
setting
ourselves
up
for
can
the
city
please
come
in
and
I
do
take,
and
this
is
going
to
be
funded
through
a
levy,
but
that
somehow
we
can
solve
all
nuisance
problems
which
will
never
really
be
the
case.
Thank
you.
Those
are
comments.
More
than
questions
did.
H
Yes,
three
mr.
chair,
the
intent
of
the
monitoring
program
is
to
ensure
that
we
have
the
best
chance
of
detecting
any
negative
impacts
on
those
ecosystems.
We
will
be
working
with
the
researchers
at
the
University
of
Ottawa
to
refine
the
research
proposal
to
ensure
that
it
is
as
effective
as
can
be.
B
Thank
you,
councillor,
Chaudhary.
Thank
you
very
much,
mr.
deputy
mayor,
just
a
couple
of
concerns
in
question
that
were
raised
on
the
table
the
moment
of
the
public
health.
The
item
did
go
through
our
Public
Health's
offices
and
dr.
levy
felt
that
this
was
more
of
a
nuisance
issue
rather
than
a
health
issue.
I
do
have
Martha
Robinson
from
Ottawa
Public
Health
in
the
audience.
If
the
counselor
would
like
for
her
at
the
table
to
answer
any
other
questions,
she
is
available.
So
I'll
leave
that
right
there
for
now
question
to
come.
B
P
P
If
it's
ready
in
areas
which
they
can't
get
into,
they
put
the
idiot
into
a
corn
granular
and
they
drop
them
from
the
air
as
a
granular
or
not
a
spray,
so
don't
spread
around
and
the
way
that
they
do
it
is
they
have
a
two
kilometer
area
around
the
what
they
call
a
protected
area,
which
is
the
ward.
So
there
will
be
in
the
other
areas
and
they
have
to
have
permission
of
landowners
for
any
treatment
that
they
do.
P
That
includes
part
of
a
Greenbelt,
but
they
already
have
approval
from
an
CC
to
use
this
agreed
because
they
do
the
West
Nile
program
for
them
and
from
the
city
in
the
city
will
hatbox
lands
will
be
involved
in
all
the
rest
of
it.
So
it
will
probably
have
a
positive
impact
on
the
immediate
adjacent
areas
too,
because
you
won't
be
paying
but
you'll
get
some
reductions.
That's
the
gift
to
you.
Thank.
B
K
You
mr.
mayor
I
just
want
to
say
that,
as
a
long
time,
resident
cañada
always
had
the
firm
belief
that
all
the
pests
do
come
from
cannabinoids.
So
I
really
do
appreciate
the
councillors
motion
and
I'm
happy
to
support
it
and
looking
forward
to
a
mosquito
free
summer
on
the
south
side
of
Canada
as
well.
Thank
you.
R
I
know
I
know,
that's
gonna
be
a
tough
act
to
follow,
but
nevertheless,
and
the
day
like
today
was
talking
about
a
mosquitoes.
So
we
heard
I
just
came
here
from
Rome
on
a
really
superlative
font
area
and
we
have
some
concern
about
the
bee
hives
and
the
population,
reducing
it
bee
hives
and
so
well,
because
some
of
that
recommendation
command
I
have
to
bring
it
to
the
city.
The
way
we
cut,
the
grass
close
to
the
edge
line
and
so
on.
R
So
up
with
this
pray
and
I
have
to
hallowed
my
college
david
chung
simcha
when
he
spoke
about
when
we
try
to
introduce
another
specie
to
deal
with.
One
I
still
have
a
memory
and
Constance
Bay
that
revolted
forests.
So
we
had
a
porcupine
and
was
really
doing
a
lot
of
trees.
So
we
introduced
the
fishers,
so
the
Fisher's
took
care
of
the
porcupine
guess
what
now
we
can't
get
to
the
Fisher?
H
Through
you,
mr.
mayor,
all
of
the
research
indicates
that
there
is
no
impact
of
BTI
on
outside
of
the
family
of
mosquitoes
black
flies
and
non-biting
midges.
There
is
no
evidence
of
any
impact
of
this
product
on
on
bees
or
or
in
fact,
any
other
group
of
insects
or
animals.
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
P
P
I'd
put
up
with
mosquitoes
if
I
was
going
to
do
that,
and
so
I
really
want
to.
Thank
all
that
for
it
and
I.
Thank
my
colleagues
for
the
comments
that
they
have
made
today
and
previous
to
this
on.
This
I
think
it
is
worthwhile
to
do
it
if
we're
going
to
find
some
things
out
with
this
program
that
may
impact
on
other
areas
or
may
not.
P
I
can
tell
you
that
the
procurement
people
suggested
that,
when
we
did
that
that
included
it
clauses
so
that
if
anybody
else
wants
to
do
one
in
there
away,
they
don't
have
to
go
out
in
the
procurement
they
can
do.
It
is
that
addendum
for
this
one
by
just
identifying
the
area
and
the
payment
area,
and
so
that
it
is
we'd,
be
easy
for
them
to
do
that.
P
So,
if
you
are
interested
in
doing
anything,
just
talk
to
me,
I'll
put
you
in
touch
with
what's
happens
on
this,
but
the
I
think
what
we
really
need
to
have
a
few
sailors
of
experience
well
know
whether
it
works
or
not.
It
certainly
has
in
other
communities
the
company
that
won
the
contract
is
doing
this
now
in
60
communities
across
Canada,
but
when
a
city
of
Winnipeg
does
their
own
programs
citywide
because
that's
been
known
as
the
capital
of
mosquitoes
I
think,
but
they've
been
doing
it
for
some
time
and
their
major
ingredient.
P
They
use
is
BT,
Isle
or
they'd
also
use
some
other
things
there
and
it's
being
used
in
Europe
and
such
South
African
cities
around
the
world,
actually
I
found
out
that
it's
called
Israeli
assets
because
it
was
found
in
Israel.
What
they
found
was
a
spot
that
had
no
mosquitoes,
so
they
tested
the
water
and
they
found,
but
in
there
is
a
natural
bacteria,
that's
a
protein
bacteria.
So
this
is
not
an
artificial
chemical
in
any
way
that
has
this
propensity
to
get
into
the
guts
of
mosquitoes
and
black
flies.
P
That's
why
they
didn't
have
any
and
that's
the
product,
that's
being
used.
So
so
perfectly
it's
an
actual
natural
product
that
we
find
naturally
in
the
earth.
It's
not
manufactured,
except
to
put
it
into
a
form
that
we
can
distribute
it
in
and
it
is
used
mostly
in
a
liquid
form
and
the
individual
sprayers,
and
they
you
will
see
them.
If
you
come
out
to
kanata
this
summer,
probably
and
they're
hip
waders
going
through
that.
P
But
one
of
the
recent
things
are
going
to
be
doing
is
in
sensitive
areas
and
we
do
have
some
endangered
species
with
nesting
areas.
They
will
do
those
areas
by
air
because
they're
not
going
to
do
anything
to
try
to
interfere
with
that.
So
I
just
ask
for
you
to
support
today
and
we'll
see
what
happens
with
this
program.
A
Okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
amendment
by
Kelso,
Wilkinson
seconded
by
Councillor
Koosh,
carried
on
the
amendment
on
the
main
report
as
a
men
debt
carried

Kelsey
Moffitt.
Thank
you.
A
motion
to
adopt
reports.
Most
hopeful
thought
up

up
all
don't
say:
McKenna

We
received
and
adopted
as
amended
on.
A
F
F
That
could
mean
gender
parity
around
this
council
table,
which
regrettably,
has
about
four
women
currently
and
on
boards
for
large
corporations,
post-secondary
institutions
and
other
organizations,
I
must
say
in
Canada,
we've
seen
the
positive
effects
of
gender
parity
and
our
federal
appointments
and
I
think
it's
so
refreshing
to
have
the
leadership
of
Prime
Minister
Trudeau,
recognising
the
importance
of
women
by
appointing
15
women
to
the
federal
cabinet
taking
on
such
high-profile
portfolios
as
indigenous
and
northern
Affairs,
environment,
international
trade
and
justice.
But
the
road
to
equality
is
a
long
one.
F
In
2015,
the
World
Economic
Forum
predicted
that
it
would
take
until
2133
to
achieve
global
gender
parity
and
I
can
tell
you
mr.
mayor
I,
for
one
am
not
really
prepared
to
wait.
A
hundred
and
seventeen
years
for
global
gender
parity
and
I'm
certainly
not
ready
to
wait
even
close
to
that
long
for
gender
parity.
Here
in
the
City
of
Ottawa,
and
here
at
this
council
table,
I
said
it
last
year,
but
I
think
it
really
bears
repeating
that
we
as
a
city
need
to
take
more
action
than
we
have
taken
to
date.
F
So
often
women
feel
left
out
from
male-dominated
positions
of
influence.
As
decision-makers,
we
must
encourage
Canadian
girls
and
from
all
walks
of
life,
especially
women
of
color
and
those
from
disadvantaged
backgrounds,
to
stand
up
and
speak
up.
It's
our
duty
to
challenge
conscious
and
unconscious
biases
against
women
and
high-profile
roles.
We
need
to
understand
that
women
do
not
need
to
act
or
think
like
men
to
be
successful.
F
A
Thank
You
counselor
other
speakers
on
the
motion
carried.
Thank
you
encouraged
members
of
council.
If
they
can
to
attend
my
annual
Women's
Day
breakfast,
we
have
two
federal
cabinet
ministers
who
are
coming
the
Minister
of
the
Environment
and
the
minister
responsible
for
the
status
of
women,
who
will
both
be
speaking
next
motion
is
counselor
egg,
wise
seconded
by
Councillor
flowing.
This
reflects
a
slight
revision
from
what
was
tabled
on
February
10th,
so
counselor
egg
Lai
has
the
floor.
Please
thank.
M
Mister
man,
as
pointed
out
last
meeting,
essentially
what
this
this
motion
does
is:
it
gives
staff
the
authority
to
charge
the
same
amount
for
the
street
side
spots
as
we
do
for
our
patio
fees.
Every
year
we
had
passed
a
motion
earlier
on
doing
with
patio
but
street
side
spots
at
that
point,
we're
not
a
thing
so
now
that
they
are,
we
want
parity
in
terms
of
the
cost
that
we
charge
businesses
to
operate
them,
and
so
that's
that's.
What
this
motion
does
right.
A
E
You
mr.
mayor,
the
motion
that
I'm
bringing
now
I'll
read
it
out
first
and
then
address
it,
giving
with
the
recent
crtc
decision,
whereas
in
July
2015,
the
CRTC
ruled
that
large,
cable
and
telecom
providers
would
have
to
make
their
new
fiber-optic
infrastructure
available
to
smaller
competitors.
And
whereas
the
decision
made
by
the
CRTC
aims
to
promote
competition
and
affordable
Internet
for
Canadians,
including
those
residents
living
in
the
city
of
Ottawa
and
whereas
in
the
fall
of
2015,
a
request
was
filed
with
the
governor
and
council
to
review
and
bury
the
Commission's
decision.
E
And
whereas
a
final
decision
has
not
yet
been
made
by
the
federal
government.
With
respect
to
this
request
to
review
and
very
so,
the
City
of
Ottawa
still
has
an
opportunity
to
share
its
position
and
whereas
other
major
municipalities,
such
as
Calgary,
have
expressed
their
support
for
the
CRTC
decision
and
where
the
City
of
Toronto
recently
carried
a
similar
motion
requesting
council's
support.
Competitive
and
affordable
internet
prices.
E
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
City
of
Ottawa
support
the
CRTC's
decision
to
require
the
share
in
the
five
EPIK
networks
between
large
and
small
competitors
and
the
a'.
Further
resolved
that
the
outcome
of
this
motion
be
shared
with
the
minister
of
innovation,
science
and
economic
development,
the
minister
of
infrastructure
in
communities,
the
Minister
of
Finance,
the
Minister
of
Canadian
heritage
and
Premier
Kathleen
Wynne,
and
the
Ontario
Minister
of
Economic
Development
employment
and
infrastructure
to
ensure
the
city's
position
is
known
as
recommendations
are
prepared.
Mr.
E
Maron
colleagues,
the
motion
that
I'm
bringing
today
and
asking
you
to
support
is
I.
Think
of
the
utmost
importance
to
the
residents
of
the
City
of
Ottawa.
The
Internet
has
become
integral
to
our
participation
in
the
Civic
cultural
and
economic
life
of
the
city.
It's
critical
to
residents,
well-being,
that
the
Internet's
here,
the
world-class
and
affordably
priced
last
summer,
the
CRTC
to
the
pro
consumer
decision
to
extend
its
competitive
framework
for
telecommunications
to
the
next
generation
of
Internet
divert
to
the
home.
E
The
decision
would
require
incumbent
telecommunications
companies
to
lease
their
networks
to
competitors
for
a
markup.
This
is
at
once
a
very
complex
issue,
but
also
very
simple.
When
the
telecommunications
industry
was
deregulated
in
Canada
as
around
the
world,
the
government
no
longer
told
phone
companies
how
much
they
could
charge
customers
and,
in
the
absence
of
weight
regulation,
we
rely
on
competition
to
protect
consumers.
E
Competition
is
good,
but
it's
not
easy
to
accomplish
when
incumbent
Communications
companies
have
access
to
the
capital
markets
that
are
based
on
their
existing
revenues
and
subscriber
bases
and
access
to
our
municipal
infrastructure,
capital
and
infrastructure.
Our
city
infrastructure
are
the
barriers
to
entry
that
make
the
whole
sale
regime
so
important.
The
most
easily
that
I've
been
able
to
explain.
It
is
to
ask
people
to
imagine
that
the
government
were
to
open
passenger
rail
to
competition,
no
competition
that
emerge
if
we
force
competitors
to
build
their
own
tracks.
E
It's
not
a
perfect
analogy
that
the
basics
of
it
are
right.
We,
as
an
analogy,
have
an
obvious
interest
in
these
discussions.
It's
in
the
interest
of
all
of
our
taxpayers
that
our
support
structures
and
conduits
being
used
efficiently
than
a
roads
not
be
constantly
dug
up
and
more
broadly,
we
want
Auto
our
residents
to
have
the
broadband
internet
they
need
in
their
small
offices
and
home
offices
startups
school
and
more.
We
also
have
an
interest
in
the
economic
activity.
E
The
competitors
to
connect
to
the
incumbents
create
that's
hundreds
of
jobs
in
the
Ottawa
area
alone.
The
federal
consultation
may
be
closed,
but
the
government
will
be
consulting
with
the
provinces
on
this
matter.
I
think
it's
important
that
our
voice
be
heard.
I
hope
I
can
count
on
your
support
and
I
look
forward
to
the
debate.
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
thank.
S
S
Surrounding
the
motion
and
and
and
councillor
you
alluded
to
the
complexities
surrounding
surrounding
the
whole
issue.
The
the
matter
before
the
CRTC
is
is
to
share
a
new
network,
not
an
existing
network.
On
that
basis,
I'm
not
sure
the
via
the
analogy
is
correct.
I
mean
other
questions
that
came
about
are.
S
Think
a
lot
of
entrepreneurs
have
have
access
to
capital
markets,
but
your
point
is
that
it
is
a
capital
intensive
project
and
and
in
that
there
are
risks.
There
are
risks
that
remain
solely
with
what
is
a
private
company.
In
this
case,
bail,
you
I've
read
that
suggesting
that
supporting
this
motion
is
a
way
to
ensure
faster
and
cheaper
and
more
reliable
internet.
It
might
be
a
disincentive
to
to
building
a
faster,
cheaper
and
more
reliable
Internet,
because
there
are
people
calculating.
S
We
have
to
sell
X
subscribers
at
X
amount
over
Z
years
to
to
recoup
our
investment
and
thus,
as
I
said,
it
might
be
a
disincentive
to
to
building
to
building
the
network
further
to
your
rail
analogy.
If,
if
we
were
talking
about
existing
rail,
it
would
be,
it
would
be
a
good
analogy.
But
if
we
would
like,
via,
for
example,
to
build
a
high-speed
rail
between
Quebec,
City
and
Windsor
and
we
were
to
say,
go
and
spend
twenty
billion
dollars.
S
But
after
the
the
high-speed
rail
has
built,
will
let
you
and
I
buy
a
couple
of
trains
by
a
couple
of
locomotives
and
we
could
use
it
and
and
sell
as
many
tickets
as
we
could
I,
don't
think
and
and
if
that
were
open
to
to
all
the
users
I,
don't
think
that
would
be
an
incentive
for
via
to
improve
our
high-speed
rail
capacity.
So,
on
that
basis,
I
I
disagree
with
the
analogy
not
to
objects
if
to
are
to
to
hide
our.
Q
S
Internet
and
and
lower
prices,
but
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
put
in
the
conditions
that
are
favorable
to
to
building
that
network
to
to
encouraging
our
our
second
highest
employer,
a
non
employer,
I
apologize
segment,
business
segments
in
in
Ottawa,
which
is
after
government,
the
high
tech
sector
and
so
again,
just
to
recap.
From
from
my
opening
statement.
I
wish.
We
would
have
had
a
more
substantive,
the
opportunity
for
more
substantive
conversation
on
this,
so
that
we
could
could
have
discussed
it
more
fully.
S
T
Thank
you
much
to
my
colleague
jean.
He
already
brought
lots
of
issue
I
wanna
this
touch,
but
I
will
move
on
to
also
thank
counselor
Lippert
for
his
attention.
His
interest
in
this
matter,
but
I
also
want
to
remind
everyone
here
on
this
table
infrastructure
for
Intel,
Wireless
or
telecom.
It's
not
a
small
investment.
It's
like
similar
to
our
other
team
investment
similar
like
any.
You
brought
the
train
analogy
and
I.
T
Don't
read:
I,
don't
agree
with
it,
but
this
is
the
matter
here
we're
looking
CRTC
three
years
ago
we
wanna
regulate
the
wireless
industry,
so
they
went
and
they
they
changed
all
the
evening
and
they
promised
people
that
oh
yeah,
your
wireless
bill
is
gonna,
go
chop
half,
they
won't
yeah.
You
put
the
two-year
program
and
the
company
wanna
retrieve
their
revenues,
so
they
raise
the
handsets
higher.
So
what
I'm
trying
to
say?
You
have
an
obesity
and
are
going
what
we're
trying
to
create
here.
T
I
You
mr.
mayor
I
did
very
strongly
support
the
CRTC
ruling
when
it
happened
and
I
will
be
supporting
councilor
Lepus
motion.
For
me
it
it
simply
comes
down
to
equity
and
inclusion
in
our
in
our
communities.
We,
you
know
we
have
got
to
be
able
to
provide
people
with
the
choice
that
they
need
at
an
affordable
rate,
so
that
they
can
be
part
of
a
telecommunications
community.
If
you
will,
we
have
we've
got
to
make
sure
that
that
the
networks
are
available
to
to
the
the
smaller
carriers.
I
I
It
would
create
you
know
one
group
who
could
afford
the
fiber
to
the
home
and
another
group
that
couldn't,
and
it
would
also
you
know
if,
unless
we're
making
these
networks
available
to
the
lower
cost
of
smaller
telecom
providers,
the
you
know,
the
lack
of
competition
will
mean
that
internet
will
only
get
more
expensive.
So
for
me
it
is,
you
know
it
is
a
quality
of
life
issue.
I
People
count
on
the
internet
for
for
their
news
for
seniors
to
to
stay
in
touch.
I
heard
from
many
many
seniors
who
who
tell
me
that
they
just
barely
it,
can
afford
their
internet
today,
it's
how
they
stay
in
touch
kids,
who
are
in
school,
whether
it's
in
a
primary
school
or
post
secondary
school.
It's
a
way
for
people
to
get
information,
and
it
is
it
is
that
does
make
it
a
quality
of
life
issue.
I
As
a
city,
we
do
give
up
our
right
of
way
for
the
large
telecoms
to
come
in
and
they
you
know,
come
in.
They
cut
our
roads,
they're
either
networks,
and
so,
as
a
city,
we
do.
We
have
given
something
back
to
the
telecommunications
industry
and
what
we're
asking
back
for
what?
What
I
would
like
to
see
in
return
is
that
those
networks
are
shared
so
that
everyone
can
enjoy
the
same
level
and
the
same
quality
of
affordable
Internet
service
as
as
their
neighbor,
regardless
of
of
their
own
income.
Thank
you.
I.
D
Want
to
preface
this
with
I'm
a
big
Jeff
Libra
fan,
but
I
can't
support
this
motion,
mostly
because
I
don't
think
it
belongs
in
this
room.
The
CRTC
has
already
made
a
decision
there,
the
federally
mandated
body
that
regulates
this
and
to
me
this.
This
motion
just
looks
like
a
high-five
to
them
to
say
good
job
and
with
them.
Competition
is
good,
but
you
know
it
in
Jeff
so
opening
statement
he
talked
about
hundreds
of
jobs.
M
Mr.
mayor
I
want
to
thank
councilor,
Reaper
and
councillor
Dean's
for
bringing
the
motion
forward.
Jeff
and
I
had
quite
a
detailed
and
substantive
discussion
about
it
and,
as
a
result
of
that,
I
want
to
thank
Jeff
because
I
dug
into
the
issue
a
lot
more
than
I
would
have
thought
and
like
councillor,
kuchi
I
learned
an
awful
lot
about
this
issue
over
the
last
week
or
so
from
a
variety
of
sources,
including
Jeff,
Bell,
independent
sources,
independent
research
speaking
to
a
local
MP,
and
it's
not
as
simple
as
it
first
appears.
M
M
The
big
companies
of,
if
you
will,
the
bells,
the
shah's
that
tell
us,
is
there
they're,
investing
in
the
infrastructure,
they're
investing
the
R&D
they're
producing
the
product,
the
smaller
companies
are
selling
the
product
and
I
think
there's
a
big
difference
there.
They
don't
have
to
put
the
upfront
capital
in
to
create
the
product,
but
they're
reselling
the
product.
Once
it's
been
created
by
the
by
the
bigger
players
that
doesn't
mean
I'm
a
huge
fan
of
bell
or
Rogers
or
anything
else.
M
But
if
we
want
to
incentivize
improvements
in
the
internet,
then
there
has
to
be
some
way
similar
to
the
pharmaceutical
business
world
by
the
people
who
put
in
the
R&D,
with
the
people
who
put
in
the
implementation
and
and
the
creation
and
building
of
these
of
these
networks
have
some
way
to
recoup
some
of
that
money.
So
they
can
roll
it
over
into
further
further
investments
in
R&D
and
an
inference
infrastructure.
So
it's
more
complicated
issue
then
I
think
then
you
know
do
this
and
people
will
have
cheap
internet
I.
M
Don't
think
it's
going
to
work
that
way,
it
hasn't
worked
that
way
in
other
parts
of
the
world.
As
I
say,
Europe
has
been
struggling
with
this
for
some
time
and
they
have
not
seen
the
benefit
of
it,
though
they
thought
they
thought,
like
the
CRTC,
that
this
would
be
the
Magic
Bullet,
if
you
will
to
fix
the
problem.
So
on
that
basis,
I
will
be
supporting
the
motion.
I
also,
frankly,
want
to
thank
councilor
Minich,
because
I
think
he
makes
a
very
valid
point
about
whether
or
not
this
is
in
fact
within
our
bailiwick.
M
I
wonder
why
we
didn't
do
this
at
the
IT
subcommittee
of
which
used
the
vice
chair.
It
seems
to
me
that
we
would
have
had
a
more
fulsome
opportunity
to
have
that
discussion
at
that
committee,
but
in
any
event,
it's
here
we're
having
the
debate
I.
Thank
you
for
that,
but,
unfortunately,
Jeff
I'm
not
gonna,
be
able
to
support
you
in
this.
In
this
matter,
Thank
You,
Kelsey.
Q
You,
mr.
mayor,
there
are
some
good
points
that
have
been
raised
so
far.
I
think
that
one
of
the
important
point
here
is
that
we
have
to
recognize
our
powers
here.
This
motion
is
important,
but
does
not
reflect
our
role
as
a
municipality.
You
are
alright
in
your
comments.
I
have
no
expertise
at
all
in
this
area.
The
CITC
is
a
national
organization
that
has
consultation
processes.
Q
We
can
be
consulted
on
very
many
issues
at
all
times,
but
this
issue
becomes
a
municipal
issue
in
a
way
that
we
want
to
make
sure
economic
development
in
Ottawa
is
at
its
best.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
Internet
is
free,
but
nothing
in
this
motion
today
will
deal
with
this.
So
I
have
a
very
neutral
opinion
on
this.
Q
It's
too
bad
that
we're
going
to
have
a
vote
because
it
puts
us
in
a
camp
and
it
creates
expectation,
as
my
colleague
said
as
if
internet
would
be
by
tomorrow,
freer
or
better
I
would
have
preferred
to
have
this
discussion
in
another
context
where
there
would
have
been
a
formal
consultation.
Unfortunately,
the
rest
is
not
here.
Today
is
not
listening
to
the
debate,
but
he'll
see
who
voted
for
or
against
this
motion
and
no
context
will
be
provided
to
this
listener,
so
it
will
just
confuse
people
on
the
CRTC
process
on
the
appeal.
Q
That's
now
in
front
of
the
federal
cabinet,
on
our
role
as
a
municipality
in
technology
in
IT,
so
I'm
in
a
difficult
position,
because
I
find
this
motion
is
not
going
anywhere,
but
why
wouldn't
I
support
it
in
principle
to
say?
Oh,
yes,
internet
should
be
improved
and
should
be
more
affordable.
On
the
other
hand,
I
don't
think
that
we'll
end
up
at
nowhere,
you
know
I,
don't
think
it
has
any
purpose.
This
motion,
it's
a
good
discussions
to
have,
but
the
context
is
closed.
Q
Now,
maybe
one
day
we'll
have
the
opportunity
to
comment
for
the
city
to
participate,
but
this
is
not
a
municipal
framework.
Despite
the
fact
that
municipalities
want
to
stimulate
economic
development
and
provide
opportunities
to
businesses
to
be
to
want
to
settle
in
Ottawa,
we
often
talk
about
Shopify,
which
is
at
the
cutting
edge
of
technologies
worldwide
and
in
Ottawa.
What
do
we
want
to
be?
We
want
to
be
there,
we
don't
want
to
be
on
the
back
seat
and
not
have
an
opportunity
to
compete.
Yet
I.
Q
J
Thanks
very
much
you
play
with
all
my
colleagues
who
question
why
City
Council
is
debating
something
that
is
a
decision
of
the
CRTC,
but
beyond
that
I
think
the
core
goes
back
to
innovation,
and
if
we
want
to
encourage
Canadian
companies
to
continue
to
invest
in
innovation,
we
need
to
give
them
the
opportunity
to
profit
from
that
innovation.
We
people
are
spoken
about
equity.
J
J
To
support
this
motion
means
supporting
or
being
anti
rural
Internet,
so
you're
actually
disincentivizing
access
to
the
Internet
for
thousands,
tens
of
thousands
of
rural
residents
in
our
city,
and
we
can't
ask
companies
to
invest
in
innovation
if
we're
gonna,
let
small
firms
bleed
off
of
that
investment
without
having
a
proper
opportunity
to
to
recruit
to
recoup
those
funds
and
continue
to
innovate.
So
I
encourage
people
not
to
support
this
motion.
We
have
no
specialization
in.
We
have
no
regulatory
authority
over
it
and
frankly,
it's
actually
will
achieve
the
exact
opposite
results
on
equity.
F
You
very
much
mr.
Marianne
I
am
very
proud.
Two
seconds
of
this
motion
and
I
would
just
like
to
say
to
my
colleagues
I
think
it's
absolutely
appropriate
for
council
to
take
a
policy
direction
position
on
this
important
issue.
Last
July,
after
considering
a
mountain
of
economic
evidence,
the
CRTC
made
a
landmark
decision
that
will
enable
consumers
to
have
access
to
the
fastest
internet
available
at
affordable
prices
and
to
me
internet
needs
to
be
perceived
as
a
public
good.
F
These
larger
companies
have
held
a
monopoly
on
the
ability
to
build
networks
for
decades
they've
had
access
to
a
right-of-ways
protection
from
competition,
and
it
has
allowed
them
to
grow
into
the
Giants
that
we
know
today.
So
I
say
to
my
colleagues:
don't
worry
about
that.
There'd
be
fine,
they'll,
be
fine,
and
to
my
colleague
counselor
Croce,
it's
not
a
new
network,
as
he
seemed
to
suggest.
Fiber-Optic
has
been
around
for
years
now
we're
simply
talking
about
the
last
mile.
F
That
is
the
last
piece
that
connects
to
the
home:
it's
not
a
new
network,
it's
an
extension
or
an
upgrade.
If
you
will
to
an
existing
network,
we
now
live
in
a
time
when
connectivity
is
not
only
desired
by
everyone,
but
it
is
an
essential
public
good
and
should
not
be
priced
beyond
the
reach
of
many
of
our
citizens.
F
Students
need
to
do
research,
the
unemployed
are
accessing
job
openings
and
the
citizens
here
in
Ottawa
are
being
encouraged
to
do
more
and
more
online
from
loading
their
presto
cards
to
paying
the
property
taxes
to
be
competitive
in
the
job
market
in
school
or
just
to
be
an
engaged
citizen.
You
have
to
have
affordable
access
to
the
Internet.
It's
a
public
good.
F
Unfortunately,
access
to
fast,
reliable
and
affordable
Internet
is
not
necessarily
as
available
as
it
should
be.
By
opening
up
the
networks,
we
can
open
up
the
market
to
more
competition,
which
I
believe
will
ultimately
lead
to
better
pricing
and
easier
access
for
all
Canadians.
By
allowing
smaller
companies
to
use
existing
cable,
the
city
can
also
protect
our
right-of-way,
see
every
time
you
want
to
lay
new
cable,
you're,
gonna
dig
up
our
streets.
Do
we
want
everybody,
or
do
we
want
it
to
be,
like
cell
towers,
encouraging
colocation?
F
J
J
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
So
yeah
I
guess.
So
one
of
the
questions
that
that
I
had
to
ask
myself
and
looking
at
the
calgary
submission
is
imagine
a
point
in
the
future
sounds
like
we're
at
very
early
stages
here:
Calgary,
maybe
as
little
further
along,
but
the
idea
of
a
municipal
fiber
network
addresses
a
lot
of
public
policy
issues.
Some
of
the
issues
addressed
about
rural
access
about
low-income
access,
some
of
those
can
be
addressed
by
a
municipal
fiber
network
and
from
what
I
understand
from
the
Calgary
case.
J
The
idea
is
that
any
of
the
dark
fiber
the
unused
fiber,
can
then
be
activated
in
sold
to
ISPs.
You
know
clearly
in
such
a
manner
as
to
benefit
the
residents
of
the
city,
so
that
was
an
interesting
argument
and
one
that
we
may
want
to
think
a
little
bit
about.
Even
if
we're
at
earlier
stages
do
be
see-
and
this
is
where
the
municipal
Nexus
comes
in
some
benefit
to
us-
to
leave
open
that
opportunity.
Clearly,
if
that
option
is
not
available,
you
know
there
could
be
a
loss
to
the
future
future
revenue
potential.
J
For
you
know,
I
guess
either
hydro
Ottawa
or
invest
Auto
Road
or
the
City
of
Ottawa,
but
you
know
some
combination
of
those.
The
other
argument
that
the
city
of
calgary
used,
which
again
made
me,
realize
that
there
is
a
minister
alexis
this,
this
issue
of.
Are
there
existing
legacy
rights
or
you
know,
are
we
actually
building
a
new
network
or
are
we
essentially
building
off
of
the
old
one
and
one
of
the
arguments
the
city
cavalry
used?
J
Is
that
actually
the
legacy
rights
can't
be
duplicated
because
there
are
access
to
existing
alignments
in
the
rights-of-way
and
support
structures?
And
you
think
about
the
various
polls
and
and
all
over
the
structure
there.
So
the
conduits
are
there.
The
City
of
Calgary
argued
quite
forcefully
that
those
do
represent
an
existing
legacy
right
to
the
big
players
that
were
actually
subsidized
off
the
public
purse
during
the
time
that
you
know.
In
some
cases
these
were
public
entities
and
I
thought.
That
was
an
interesting
argument
to
that.
J
It
gets
to
the
via
comparison
that
there
may
actually
be.
You
know
a
benefit
there
that
the
taxpayer
paid
for
when
these
companies
were
crowned
corpse-
or
at
least
you
know,
had
access
to
public
dollars.
So
I
guess
in
reading
the
submission
and
then
doing
some
of
the
other
research
I
came
to
the
conclusion
that
this
does
I
think
fall
squarely
within
what
municipalities
ought
to
care
about.
R
You
thank
you.
Sam
Mayer
and
after
I,
listened
to
my
colleagues
and
I.
Have
a
question
for
the
clerk
and
neighbor
should
have
asked
a
question
earlier
and
I
know
that
left
shaking
his
head?
Why
is
he
asking
me
now
the
question
to
the
clerk
is
this
motion
after
the
CRTC
already
made
their
decision?
What
this
motion
were,
what
wait
will
this
motion
care
if
whether
we
support
her
or
not
supported.
B
Mr.
mayor
I
think
what
the
council
is
referring
to
is
the
fact
that
the
candidate
is
that
notice,
which
went
out
on
and
has
been
referred
to
earlier.
Debate,
went
out
on
November
21st
of
last
year
and
asked
for
30
days
for
consultation
purposes,
so
that
window
closed.
Presumably
the
third
week
of
December
I
would
think
that
in
most
cases,
a
motion
at
this
point
would
have
a
very
little
weight
at
all
to
the
process
coming
this
late
in
the
day.
Okay,
thank
you
sue
me.
P
P
The
final
decision
is
what
you
really
wanted.
I
just
find
it
very
very
difficult.
So
it's
not
opposed
to
what
he's
trying
to
get
act,
but
I
don't
have
at
this
point
a
comfort
fielding
and
having
being
able
to
actually
vote
for
it.
I
was
wanted
to
because
I've
talked
mr.
mete.
Jeff
defensively
for
about
this
and
I
told
him
absolutely
seriously
thinking
about
it.
P
I've
talked
with
others
about
it
as
well,
who
have
the
other
view
and
like
I
can
either
do
one
of
two
things:
either
vote
against
the
motion
or
leave
the
room,
and
that's
not
a
very
good
thing
to
do
is
elect
a
person,
so
I
am
going
to
at
this
point
not
support
the
motion.
I
think
it's
not
that
I
don't
have
enough
information
to
make
it
really
clear
view
on
it
and
I,
don't
think
what
they're
say
is
going
to
happen.
H
This
forward,
it's
created
a
great
discussion
around
technology,
something
I,
really
love
I've,
looked
at
this
very
closely
and
and
the
fact
that
there's
so
many
municipalities
out
there
actually
supporting
bail
in
there.
Objection
to
the
CRTC
ruling
made
me
question:
why
you
look
at
the
Calgary
situation?
They've
got
their
own
infrastructure.
H
Today
we
would
have
made
a
fortune
that
ship
has
sailed.
Now
we
actually
have
to
depend
on
companies
to
be
able
to
do
a
lot
of
the
work
that
that,
frankly,
is
very
expensive.
It's
not
like
we're
plugging
in
an
extension
cord,
we're
ripping
up
sidewalks
we're
open
up
pathways
to
be
able
to
put
this
fiber
into
the
homes.
H
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
other
confusing
factors
that
are
involved
in
this
and
in
a
15
year,
career
of
IT,
especially
the
later
parts
in
my
years
as
a
manager,
I'd
explain
to
VPS
complicated
issues
and
try
to
make
them
in
simple
terms.
So
if
we
want
to
progress
and
be
a
technology,
savvy
city
and
I'll,
try
to
put
this
in
simple
terms,
you
see
lots
of
these
4k
TVs
hitting
the
shelves.
Now,
it's
not
your
best
buyers
or
blockbusters
and
we'll
see
future
shots
and
I'll.
Tell
you.
H
When
you
get
a
couple
of
those
in
your
house,
people
are
surfing
on
their
iPad.
You
want
to
watch
some
Netflix,
you
didn't
start
having
problems.
A
standard
Netflix
shows
is
about
five
Meg's.
That's
what
you're
using
you
want
to
use
that
4k
TV
25
makes
compound
that
with
your
kid
display
xbox.
This
all
adds
up
and
we're
watching
other
cities
all
around
us
to
municipalities,
I,
should
say,
jumping
on
and
advancing
themselves
very
quickly.
If
we
don't
take
advantage
of
this
and
support
support
dollar
in
finishing
what
they've
started.
H
This
is
a
new
technology
they're
still
working
on
it,
they're
still
pushing
through
we're,
gonna,
fall
behind
and
we'll
have
this
argument
five
years
from
now
asking
why
other
cities
across
the
river
down
the
street
or
already
advanced
and
we're
not
so
for
that
reason,
I
do
think
Jeff
for
bringing
us
forward
I!
Think
it's
great
talking
about
it.
As
a
final
note,
I
will
point
out
that
our
thirty
three
branches
do
have
free
Wi-Fi
and
internet
access
so
feel
free
to
check
those.
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
mayor
good.
D
You
Marin
I,
don't
think
we
should
be
having
this
debate,
but
since
everyone
is-
and
we
are
I'll
give
my
two
cents
on
it
and
like
most
of
my
colleagues,
I
did
meet
with
Bell
with
Jeff
and
did
get
a
better
understanding
of
the
issue.
I
think
that
the
other
day,
as
most
of
my
colleagues
pointed
out
in
councilor
cherry
just
said,
Bell
is
investing
billions
of
dollars
across
the
country.
D
So
the
last
thing
we
want
to
be
doing
with
our
whatever
our
limited
influences
and
the
appeal
process
is
to
have
them
not
do
that,
especially
in
our
in
our
city
but-
and
so
I
see
this
more
in
terms
of
the
analogy
of
R&D
in
the
pharmaceutical
industry
and
all
the
money
that
they
pump
into
that.
And
then
that's
more.
The
analogy.
I
CN,
so
Bell
is
putting
billions
of
dollars
across
the
country,
and
you
know
from
what
I'm
hearing
from
the
different
size
is
a
middle
consensus.
D
E
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
Maron
Thank
You
colleagues.
It
has
been
a
good
debate
and
I've
appreciated
the
open-mindedness
and
generosity
with
which
my
colleagues
have
approached
this
over
the
past
week.
I
would
have
liked
to
about
this
to
the
IT
subcommittee.
Our
next
meeting
won't
be
until
the
end
of
March
and
I
am
afraid
of
missing
a
window
in
which
we
can
have
a
meaningful
impact
on
this
debate.
While
the
federal
government
has
not
yet
made
its
decision,
we
have
an
opportunity
to
sway
the
decision.
E
One
way
or
another
I
do
feel
that
by
March
30th.
That
window
would
be
closed.
We
have
heard
from
Bell
and
its
lobbyists
that
the
system
that
has
been
working
well
to
foster
competition
all
the
way
through
to
the
point
where
we
are
now,
if
Barbara's
getting
push
closer
and
closer
to
the
node
to
institute
a
wholesale
requirement
on
fiber-to-the-home,
which
slow,
rollout
and
I
don't
think
that
most
of
observers
are
going
to
agree.
E
Rbc
has
stated
that
in
the
wake
of
the
CRTC
ruling,
they
expect
the
fiber
rollouts
will
continue
unaffected,
partly
because
the
incumbents
can
leverage
the
bundled
offerings
and
partly
because
of
the
somewhat
higher
markup
actions
at
the
CRTC
will
now
allow
on
wholesale
services.
I
went
back
to
the
decision
and
some
elements
around
D
aggregation,
really
complicated,
stuff
I
won't
bring
to
the
table,
also
comes
into
play.
I
think
it's
worth
noting
that
the
incumbent
telcos
in
this
country
are
behind
the
8-ball.
E
Currently
they
have
just
38
percent
of
Internet
revenues,
2
cables,
53
percent,
as
of
the
most
recent
numbers
available
from
the
CRTC
competitors
like
tech,
savvy
and
Primus,
have
just
9%
fiber-to-the-home
in
order
to
keep
up
with
cable
is
a
competitive
imperative
for
the
income
telcos
now
I
know.
The
Bell
has
spoken
with
many
of
you
to
suggest
that
the
market
for
fiber
is
going
to
be
competitive.
E
They
showed
you
a
graphic
that
includes
multiple
players,
including
Rogers
Shaw
video,
to
tell
us,
and
it's
true
that
most
of
these
will
be
Prince
end
up
providing
their
own
fiber
services
eventually.
But
the
fact
the
matter
is
in
any
given
market
the
chances
are
that
there
will
only
be
two
the
phone
company
and
the
cable
company,
and
that
still
means
that
virtually
all
residents
are
only
going
to
have
a
choice
of
two.
Very
few
would
argue
that
the
appellee
is
much
better
than
monopoly
without
companies
like
promise
or
tech
savvy
in
the
market.
E
Imagine
that
prices
might
look
like
for
Internet
today.
In
fact,
I
think
the
scenario
of
a
council
do
use.
Lasers
is
exactly
the
sort
of
situation
that
we
want
to
avoid
by
forcing
mobile
players
to
build
their
own
networks.
We've
had
very
little
competition
to
the
incumbent
providers
and
I
think
most
of
us
would
agree
that
prices
are
higher
as
a
result.
So
why
would
competitors
get
to
leverage
the
incumbents
Network
rather
than
building
its
own
I?
Think
the
best
answer
comes
to
the
CRTC
itself.
E
Now
we've
heard
that
this
may
not
be
any
of
the
city's
business.
I
personally
think
that's
natural
that
we
would
want
to
support
federal
decisions
that
help
Auto
as
residents
stay
competitive
and
the
aforementioned
municipal
access
agreements
are
critical
to
keep
in
mind.
We
the
bottle.
Next
to
competition.
We
have
a
responsibility
to
understand
how
that
affects
the
larger
public
interest
and
to
ensure
that
infrastructure
is
used
efficiently.
I
think
there
are
European
models
to
council
regulars
point
where
that's
demonstrated
quite
quite
nicely
rather
than
struggling.
E
E
Mr.
mayor
and
colleagues,
even
while
cabinet
has
closed
comments
for
its
deliberations,
it
is
now
obligated
to
consult
with
the
provinces
until
the
day
that
cabinet's
decision
is
announced.
We
have
the
ability
to
influence
our
federal
and
provincial
counterparts.
It
was
with
this
knowledge
that
appears
in
Toronto,
undertook
just
over
two
weeks
ago
to
pass
substantially
the
same
motion
as
I
am
asking
you
to
support
today.
I
hope
that
you
will
make
a
decision
in
favour
of
competition
and
consumers.
I
hope
you'll
make
a
decision
that
sees
Ottawa
evolve
into
the
Smart
City.
E
C
C
C
C
C
You
very
much
mr.
mayor
and
thank
councilor
Eagle
Eye
for
seconding
miss
with
me.
As
many
of
you
may
remember.
Bayshore
mall
and
my
ward
has
been
undergoing
significant
renewal
over
the
past
several
years,
including
a
complete
reconstruction
of
their
main
parking
deck.
They're
now
beginning
work
on
the
secondary
parking
deck
at
the
side
of
the
building,
and
they
had
come
to
us
requesting
waiver
on
a
noise
by
law.
We
sent
them
back
requesting
that
they
do
a
very
fulsome
job
of
consulting
with
the
community
right
around
it.
C
We
have
I
suppose
the
good
fortune
that
all
of
the
residents
who
live
there
are
all
under
one
landlord,
Fergus
Lee
properties.
They
worked
out
details
of
an
arrangement
whereby
they
would
make
cell
phone
number
available
to
residents
in
all
the
buildings
if
they
had
any
concerns
and
what
they're
seeking
and
they
urge
encima
begin
the
work.
Now,
while
windows
are
still
closed.
Well,
it's
still
inclement
weather
they're.
Looking
for
a
noise
bylaw
waiver,
which
I
support
it's
between
5:00
and
7:00
a.m.
C
prior
to
the
regular
noise
time
kicking
in
at
7:00,
but
and
although
that
the
timing
runs
from
March
to
November,
the
reality
is
just
like
when
they
were
doing
the
first
deck
out
front.
They'd
be
using
this
sporadically
between
now
and
November,
so
only
occasionally,
and
only
once
in
a
while
between
5:00
and
7:00
a.m.
but
they
won't
be
able
to
predict
exactly
when.
So.
This
motion
seeks
the
authority
to
allow
them
to
waive
it,
but
also
includes
the
provision
to
have
bylaw
Services
revoke
it.
A
Okay,
thank
you
on
the
motion
carried
adopt
a
belt
seat
with
any
other
motions
requiring
suspension
of
the
rules
and
diesel
commercial
notice
is
a
motion
for
consideration.
At
subsequent
meetings,
every
demotion,
Boys
ma
I
have
a
no
sub
C
cone,
counselor
brockington
sa
my
counselor
L
shan't
Erie.
Please
Thank.
C
You,
mr.
mayor,
just
a
notice
of
motion
for
our
next
meeting,
March
23rd,
it's
fairly
short
I'll,
read
it,
whereas,
despite
the
fact
that
the
city
model
uses
multiple
initiatives
to
calm
traffic
and
reduce
the
speed
of
traffic
residents,
continue
to
identify
that
the
speed
on
local
streets
is
an
ongoing
problem
in
a
significant
safety
issue
in
Ottawa.
C
And
whereas
the
auto
police
chief
has
identified
traffic
enforcement
as
one
of
his
top
three
priorities,
and
he
has
confirmed
that
he
supports
the
use
of
technology
to
help
keep
our
road
safe,
including
speed
monitoring
devices
like
Florida
radar
and
where,
as
the
province
of
Ontario,
initiated
the
use
of
photo
radar
on
provincial
highways
in
1994.
But
this
was
discontinued
following
the
change
of
government
less
than
one
year
later.
For
what
was
considered
by
many
to
be
political
rather
than
safety
reasons.
C
And
whereas
a
number
of
municipalities
in
Ontario
have
asked
the
provincial
government
to
allow
local
governments
to
use
photo
radar,
and/or
other
technology
to
address
speeding
on
local
streets
and
there's
a
benefit
to
auto
residents.
Adding
this
ability
to
the
city's
current
toolkit
to
address
traffic
and
speeding
in
our
neighbourhoods,
therefore
be
it
resolved
that
City
Council's
through
the
mayor
formally
request
that
the
province
of
Ontario
allow
municipalities
the

It's
an
awesome
motion,
but
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
my
colleague
from
the
rural
council
yourself
in
your
office
and
councillor
Dean,
the
chair
of
this
committee
on
our
staff,
especially
the
general
manager
of
emergency
services,
because
this
was
quite
concerned
to
our
resident
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
allowing
this.
Thank.
A
C
You
very
much
mr.
mayor
and
council
may
recall
that
back
in
2008,
this
council
approved
that
the
mayor
sent
a
letter
to
the
Minister
of
Finance
and
municipal
and
Minister
municipal
affairs,
with
respect
to
Ottawa
being
a
grant
the
opportunity
to
get
what
is
called
prudent
investor
status.
A
MoU
has
now
proceeded
to
the
point
where
they
are
requesting
the
same
on
behalf
of
all
municipalities.
So
this
notice
of
motion
essentially,
is
that
we
support
a
MoU
in
that
regard
and
it
has
the
support
of
our
finance
department.
So
it's
a
notice
of
motion.
