Description
Ottawa City Council — February 8, 2023
A
Now,
when
you
pull
your
bowl
out,
just
make
sure
that
it's
not
dripping,
because
you
don't
want
it
to
drip
onto
your
pan
that
can
discolor
your
chocolate
and
then
pour
it
kind
of
down
the
middle
you'll
spread
it
out
with
your
scraper
later.
So
it
doesn't
matter
if
it's
not
perfectly
even
oops
I
see
I
got
some
water
there
I'm
going
to
turn
my
paper
over.
A
A
Again
doesn't
have
to
be
perfect.
This
is
not
to
scientific,
definitely
not
professional,
chocolate,
making
flatten
down
your
parchment
paper.
If
you
need
it,
sometimes
people
say
to
make
chocolate
bark
on
foil,
but
I
find
parchment.
It's
so
much
easier
because
you
can
just
pick
it
off
the
parchment
when
it's
cooled
and
ready
to
be
broken
into
pieces,
all
right.
A
It
might
be
tempting
to
add
a
whole
lot
of
toppings,
but
if
you
add
in
too
many,
they
start
to
fall
off
the
bark,
so
I
try
to
kind
of
Hit
the
sweet
spot
in
the
middle
of
just
enough.
Toppings.
Remember
that
each
piece
is
going
to
be
an
inch
or
two
in
size,
so
the
likelihood
that
someone
will
get
a
little
bit
of
everything
is
quite
good
and
I.
Think
I'll
do
the
salt
next,
because
the
granola
looks
so
nice
on
top
a
few
flakes
coarse
salt
is
ideal.
A
A
There
we
go
and
the
Granola
and
again
I'm
going
to
do
this
by
hand
so
that
it's
fairly
even
oh,
I
realize
this
batch
has
coconut
in
it
as
well.
So
that's
going
to
be
excellent
with
the
chocolate,
so
you
want
to
be
able
to
still
see
the
chocolate
underneath,
but
have
a
pretty
good
coating
and
because
our
chocolate
is
still
so
warm,
the
granola
is
going
to
stick
to
it.
But
so
that
means
you
have
to
work
kind
of
quickly
have
everything
all
ready
for
when
the
chocolate
is
melted.
A
If
you're
using
a
commercial
granola,
if
it's
quite
clumpy,
you'll,
want
to
break
up
the
clumps
before
hand,
so
maybe
put
some
in
a
bowl
and
take
a
look
at
it
and
that
way,
you'll
have
a
nice
fine
layer
like
we
do
here
once
you've
prepared
this,
it
needs
to
sit
and
cool
down.
I,
usually
leave
it
at
room
temperature
for
about
a
half
an
hour
and
then
tuck
it
in
the
fridge
and
that's
necessary
so
that
you
can
break
it
and
a
big,
important
tip
I
have
very
warm
hands
all
the
time.
A
So
I
run
my
hands
under
very,
very
cold
water
and
dry
them
before
I
go
to
break
the
bark,
and
here
is
a
bowl
of
the
finished
bark.
That's
been
broken
into
pieces
and,
if
that's
not
just
the
most
tempting
quick,
easy
make-ahead,
dessert
I,
don't
know
what
is
I
find,
there's
something
so
relaxing
about
knowing
a
meal
is
mostly
sorted
ahead
of
time
and
then
it
can
get
on
with
the
other
tasks.
B
Emily
Bertrand,
the
owner
of
Royale
Equestrian
Center.
This
is
Diamond
she's
a
10
year
old
Thoroughbred.
She
used
to
be
a
racehorse
and
then
made
the
transition
to
a
riding
horse.
She
loves,
jumping
and
she's
used
for
our
more
advanced
students.
So
we
started
the
farm
14
years
ago
with
my
mum
and
brother.
My
brother
is
actually
driving
by
one
day
and
saw
the
sign
and
we
applied.
There
were
60
applicants
and
we
got
it
when
we
first
started.
B
There
was
not
very
much
here
so
our
property's
about
25
acres,
and
there
was
just
this
hundred
year
old,
barn
and
from
there
we
built
on
to
it
we
fixed
up
one
stall
at
a
time,
one
paddock
at
a
time
we
added
one
horse
at
a
time
and
slowly
it
built
into
what
it
is
today
coveted
hit
that
was
challenging.
I
was
pretty
stressed,
especially
the
first
few
months,
trying
to
figure
out.
How
are
we
going
to
navigate
all
of
this?
Our
business
is
based
on
people
coming
in.
B
We
don't
make
much
revenue
if
there's
nobody
coming
in
to
ride,
so
that
was
really
challenging
and
then
the
other
aspect
of
it
is
how
are
we
going
to
care
for
all
these
horses
if
we're
fully
shut
down
and
there's
no
income
coming
in,
so
we
worked
really
hard.
Some
of
our
team
were
so
kind
to
actually
just
come
in
and
volunteer
and
help
us
out
and
we
made
through
it.
You
know
we
got
through
it.

loves

Thank
you.
Merci,
as
we
begin
our
meeting
today,
I
want
to
acknowledge,
on
behalf
of
the
of
Ottawa
city
council,
that
Ottawa
is
built
on
unseated
anishinaabe,
Algonquin
territory.
The
peoples
of
the
anishinabe
Algonquin
Nation,
have
lived
on
this
territory
for
Millennia
their
culture
and
presence
have
nurtured
and
continued
to
nurture
this
land.
G
So
I
wanted
today
to
thank
and
recognize
Aiden
Baker
and
his
family
for
joining
us
today.
His
parents,
David
and
Marla
welcome
to
you
and
his
grandmother
Ricky,
as
as
many
of
you
know,
in
early
December
last
year,
Aiden
and
another
Jewish
student
were
the
targets
of
a
hateful
anti-semitic
incident
at
their
High
School.
G
Moving
forward,
proliferating,
hate
and
committing
targeted
attacks
must
not
happen
anymore
in
our
community
and
I
want
to
say
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues
on
Ottawa
city
council,
Aiden
I
stand
with
you
and
I
applaud
your
courage
in
everything
you've
done
and
in
being
here
today,
Shalom
halachem,
and
it's
now
my
pleasure
to
invite
Aiden
to
the
podium
to
say
a
few
words
Aiden.
Please
join
us.

A
comment:
thank
you,
Amer.
Yes,
just
I
want,
like
staff
to
have
the
opportunity
to
address
concerns
about
the
capacity
of
the
infrastructure
in
the
immediate
Community,
to
facilitate
this
application.
Should
it
be
built
and
I
just
think,
to
put
Minds
at
ease
if
staff
could
just
comment
on
on
the
local
infrastructure.
That
would
be
great.
Thank
you.
R
Chair
chair
staff
have
reviewed
the
the
engineering
requirements
for
the
zoning
application.
There
was
an
analysis
done
that
was
completed
by
our
senior
and
Water
Resource
engineer.
The
the
peak
flow
coming
from
this.
This
facility
is
about
0.24
liters
per
second,
and
the
nominal
capacity
for
a
13
375
millimeter
pipe
is
about
750
liters
per
second,
so
it's
a
it's.
A
very,
very
small
contribution
to
the
pipe
and
staff
are
satisfied
that
there
are
is
adequate
capacity
within
it.
O
G
G
I
just
wanted
to
open,
with
a
few
brief
remarks
about
this
before
I
invite
members
of
council
to
participate
in
the
discussion.
I
wanted
to
thank
the
members
of
the
transportation
committee
for
their
thoughtful
discussion
and
unanimous
support
toward
the
motion
regarding
Wellington,
Street
and
I
also
wanted
to
provide
a
brief
update
on
the
ongoing
collaboration
with
our
federal
partners,
but
first
I
want
to
thank
Somerset
Ward
councilor
Ariel
troster,
as
well
as
the
chair
of
our
transportation
committee,
councilor
Tierney,
for
their
hard
work
in
developing
the
short-term
plan
that
we
have
before
us
today.
G
We
still
need
to
discuss
significant,
long-term
decisions
about
who
will
own
the
street,
whether
it
will
be
open
to
vehicles
and
what
the
design
will
be.
We
can't
make
these
decisions
in
isolation.
It's
important
that
we
work
with
our
federal
Partners
through
every
step
of
this
process
and
last
week,
along
with
our
interim
city
manager,
Wendy
Stephenson
and
Phil
Landry,
director
of
traffic
Services
I
met
with
ministers,
Bill
Blair
and
Helena
jazic,
and
representatives
from
public
services
and
procurement
Canada
to
engage
with
them
on
the
future
of
Wellington
Street,
the
Parliamentary,
Precinct
and
downtown
Ottawa.
G
We
had
a
productive
conversation
in
which
we
both
shared
our
thoughts
about
the
future
and
the
federal
Representatives
reaffirmed
their
commitment
to
work
together.
As
we
develop
a
plan
that
truly
works
for
all
of
us,
there
are
a
number
of
factors
to
consider,
including
traffic
in
downtown
Ottawa,
access
for
small
business
owners
and
residents,
Safety
and
Security
public
spaces
and
access
to
those
public
spaces,
tourism,
destination,
public
transit
and
more
and
I
think
we
can
all
agree.
G
There
are
many
risks,
including
a
medium
to
long-term
scenario,
where
Wellington
continues
to
look
like
it
has
for
the
past
year
with
ugly
barricades
and
very
little
activity.
These
are
important.
Considerations
in
any
permanent
decision
will
be
fundamental
to
the
future
of
our
city.
If
we
are,
for
example,
to
transfer
ownership
of
Wellington
or
any
part
of
our
downtown
to
the
federal
government,
we
must
do
so
in
a
way.
That's
consistent
with
our
plans
for
the
city
and
the
best
interests
of
our
residents.
G
S
Thank
you
so
much
mayor
I
just
wanted
to
provide
a
little
context
to
council
about
the
work
that
went
into
this
motion
and
why
it's
not
simply
just
a
motion
to
reopen
Wellington
to
traffic.
It
is
a
motion
to
make
the
street
much
safer
than
it
was
before
we
abruptly
shut
it
down
as
a
counselor
for
Somerset
Ward
I.
My
chief
concerns
were
number
one
to
ensure
that
emergency
services
are
never
overwhelmed
ever
again
in
an
attempt
to
protect
Parliament.
S
You
know
here
we
are
at
the
one
year
anniversary
from
a
very,
very
dark
time
in
our
city
and
in
our
Wards.
So
there
have
been
three
attempts
to
reoccupy
the
city
since
the
Convoy
last
year
and
I
am
happy
to
say
that
emergency
services
were
successful
in
preventing
that
from
happening.
So
I
am
somewhat
reassured
in
that
regard
and
there's
two
elements
to
this
motion
that
I
worked
collaboratively
with
counselor
Tierney
and
with
the
mayor's
office.
One
is
to
install
a
temporary
bike
lane
along
Wellington
Street.
S
This
is
a
bike
lane
that
was
planned
and
that's
in
the
works
anyway,
but
we're
going
to
throw
it
down
temporarily
to
immediately
make
the
streets
safer
from
day
one
and
then
the
second
piece
was
language
around
a
seasonal
pilot
this
summer,
with
some
actual
resources
and
animation
attached
to
it.
So
we
can
start
to
imagine
what
a
pedestrianized
Wellington
might
actually
look
like
the
problem
now
barricades
nothing
happening,
not
a
lot
of
public
support
when
there's
nothing
going
on
so
and
I'll
also
say
as
the
board
counselor
for
this
chunk
of
Wellington.
S
My
inbox
has
been
really
divided:
The,
Pedestrian
and
cycling.
Community
is
very
excited
about
a
pedestrianized
Wellington
in
the
future
and
are
against
reopening
it
to
cars.
I
will
also
say:
I
have
residents
who
are
cyclists
and
pedestrians
themselves
in
the
north
part
of
Center
town
that
are
seeing
really
negative
traffic
impacts,
including
threats
to
pedestrian
safety
on
Bay
Street
near
Laurier,
and
where
there's
a
huge
number
of
towers,
I'm.
S
Also
hearing
people
need
to
drive
around
to
Quebec
to
get
back
through
into
certain
parts
of
the
neighborhood
which
is
problematic,
so
I
I
just
wanted
to
be
really
clear.
My
priority
is
to
see
Wellington
pedestrianize
in
the
future,
but
a
lot
of
the
solutions
that
would
allow
for
that
flexibility
of
traffic
flow
are
very
expensive.
We
all
get
very
excited
at
Transportation
committee
about
those
movable
Ballers
like
they
have
in
front
of
the
U.S
embassy.
Those
kinds
of
Investments
need
Federal
Partnerships.
S
So
if
Federal
partners
are
watching
this
meeting,
please
come
to
the
table
and
negotiate
with
us
as
equals
and
I
also
just
want
to
say,
I
understand
that
Sean
Menard
has
a
proposal
to
strengthen
the
language
about
pedestrianization
and
the
pilot
even
more
and
I'm
absolutely
open
to
hear
that
conversation.
But
I
want
to
thank
the
transportation
committee
for
working
with
me
to
try
to
make
this.
A
more
complete
motion
turns
the
street
to
a
better
State
than
it
was
in
when
we
had
to
arbitrarily
close
it
down.
Thank
you.
G
T
My
my
question
is
in
terms
of
the
cycling
when
we
talk
about
temporary
I,
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
not
just
putting
up
Flex
Stakes
that
we're
putting
up
safe
protection
for
cyclists,
the
implication
might
be
that
it's
just
Flex
takes.
We
know
that
that's
not
the
best.
So
even
though
it's
temporary
I
mean
we
talked
about
temporary,
with
stopping
cars
with
big
blocks
of
cement.
Let's,
let's
are
we
going
to
have
it
so
that
we
can
really
protect
cyclists
along
there.
U
Through
you,
Mr
Mayor,
yes,
that's
the
plan
is
to
just
not
look
at
the
portion
is
closed.
Today
is
to
look
from
Sussex
all
the
way
to
Lyon.
If
we
can
go
even
further,
that
that'll
be
there,
so
that's
that's
sort
of
our
assignment
is
how
can
we
maximize
the
the
length
of
the
second
resilient
and
make
a
connection?
That
brings
you
from
one
point
to
the
other
point.
T
V
V
There's
some
broad
Strokes
there.
What
I've
tried
to
do
is
is
get
a
little
more
specific,
with
report
back
timelines
with
some
of
the
program
activation
potential,
as
well
as
stating
very
clearly
council's
support
for
the
vision
of
a
this
day.
The
most
iconic
you
know,
visual
in
the
country
and
so
I-
think
it's
important
to
indicate
that
with
support
of
of
council,
and
so
the
motion
that
that
I've
got
has
been
distributed.
V
G
V
Please
go
ahead
thanks.
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
so
be
resolved.
That
committee
recommendation
to
be
amended
to
read
as
follows
that
the
federal
government
be
encouraged
to
advance
seasonal
or
event
specific
road
closures
for
2023
through
Dynamic
proposals
and
requests
for
Partnerships
with
the
city,
including
initiatives
with
the
spark
Street
Mall
Authority
business
groups
and
other
potential
partners
for
special
events,
and
that
the
progress
on
these
efforts
be
communicated
out
to
Transportation
committee
via
memorandum
before
July
1st
2023,
and
be
further
resolve.
That
committee
recommendation
five,
the
amended
as
follows.
V
Mayor
I'll
just
say
that
I'm
hopeful
that
colleagues
will
support
this.
It's
a
minor
Amendment,
but
one
that
gives
a
bit
more
teeth
to
the
motion
and
has
very
clear
timelines
for
reporting
back
in
Q2
of
this
year,
as
well
as
encourages
partnership
with
the
federal
government
and
other
bodies
to
make
this
street
what
we
all
think
it
can
be
through
pilot
project.
So
I
hope
that
there's
broad
support
around
the
tip
for
this.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you
very
much.
I
actually,
just
have
a
I'll
ask
my
first
question.
So
my
first
question
is
with
respect
to
the
the
recommendation
to
open
the
road
and
the
the
public
order.
Emergency
commission
is
currently
they
just
got
an
extension
on
the
report,
which
was
supposed
to
be
released.
February
6th.
It's
now
going
to
be
released,
February
20th
justice
rule
got
it
there's
an
extension.
I
wondered
how
if
that
decision,
could
potentially
implicate
the
reopening
of
the
road
and
and
how
that
would
be
taken
into
consideration.
W
V
No,
that's
that's
fine
counselor.
The
the
original
motion
is
Broad,
strokes
and
I.
Believe
staff
can
work
within
that
original
motion
to
achieve
some
of
these
things,
it's
just
putting
council's
very
clear
direction
that
we
support
a
vision
of
pedestrianization
gear
and
that
in
the
future
there
would
be
a
report
back
period.
So
that's
not
in
the
current
one,
but
right
now
we're
asking
for
a
memo
prior
to
July
of
2023
that
would
come
back
to
to
committee
and
Council
and
indicate
how
the
negotiations
are
going.
J
O
U
Through
Mr,
the
the
signal
was
removed
last
spring
and
the
reason
for
that
is,
we
didn't
there
weren't
many
vehicles
on
the
road,
so
the
lake
continued
to
cycle,
and
we
just
saw
people
crossing
the
street
back
and
forth
and
what
was
happening
is
when
there
were
Vehicles
there
and
they
had
the
like
the
green
light.
The
pedestrians
weren't
expecting
them,
so
it
just
became
a
safety
issue.
So
what
we
did
is
we
removed
the
signals
and
installed
multi-way
stops,
and
so
the
plan
would
be
if
the.
U
O
Last
year,
right:
okay,
fair
enough
part!
Three
of
the
motion
talks
about
the
work
that
the
city,
the
GM
of
planning
and
the
FEDS
are
doing
with
respect
to
talking
about
the
vision
for
the
street,
but
can
I
get
a
sense
of
what
are
the
timelines
of
this
discussion
and
what
is
the
the
venue
for
Council
or
Transportation
committee
to
at
least
get
progress
reports
throughout
2023?
What
type
of
timeline
I
think
this
is
going
to
take
a
while?
X
Mr
Mayor
in
terms
of
timelines
negotiations
or
discussions,
I
should
say,
are
ongoing.
As
as
the
mayor
alluded
to
in
his
comments,
certainly,
we
will
be
reporting
back
once
the
traffic
study
analysis
is
complete
if
there
is
anything
to
report
back
in
advance
of
that,
we
would
certainly
bring
that
forward
to
committee
and
Council,
but
I
suspect
your
right
counselor.
This
will.
This
will
take
some
time.
O
Yeah
I
I
appreciate
that,
but
if
I'm
looking
at
the
chair
of
Transportation
committee-
maybe
if
if
he
can
insist
that
you
know
at
the
mid-year
Mark,
maybe
in
June
that
the
committee
get
an
update,
that
would
be
appreciated
and
I'll
leave
that
with
him
I
guess.
My
final
comments
are
I'm.
You
know
I'm
supportive
of
this
motion.
I
think
that
I
see
this
as
an
interim
decision
Point.
While
talks
are
ongoing
and
I
think
there's
fantastic
potential
to
revitalize
and
even
redesign
the
street.
O
It's
like
a
grand
alley
in
in
many
other
World
Cup
capitals
and
what
makes
Wellington
different
is
it's
in
front
of
Parliament
Hill.
It's
the
Cradle
of
of
our
democracy
here
in
Canada,
and
the
FEDS
absolutely
have
to
be
part
of
this
discussion.
Yes,
it's
a
city
street
now,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
this
has
to
be
a
mutual
conversation
and
vision
together.
O
I
also
want
to
point
out,
with
all
the
benefits
we've
heard,
of,
of
making
this
a
much
more
pedestrian
and
bicycle
friendly,
even
public
transit.
Many
residents
have
missed
the
opportunity
of
driving
on
the
street
to
see
the
parliament
buildings
to
take
guests
who
are
out
of
town
who
are
visiting
Ottawa,
and
many
of
these
comments
have
come
from
older
residents
who
don't
have
basically
the
physical
Mobility
to
park
in
the
core
and
walk
up
the
hill
to
Wellington
and
then
the
grand
scheme
of
things.
O
That
may
not
be
a
major
point
for
some,
because
a
lot
of
other
Advocates
are
sort
of
championing
what
they
would
like
to
see
with
Wellington.
But
there
has
to
be
an
opportunity
for
people
who
physically
can't
get
out
and
walk,
who
want
to
see
sort
of
the
Parliamentary
Precinct
to
incorporate
that
into
a
final
Vision,
so
I'm,
very,
very
open
and
encouraged.
And
yes,
I
do
want
to
see
a
repurposed
Wellington
Street.
But
we
can't
forget.
It
has
to
be
a
street
for
all
people
to
enjoy
and
visit
thanks
very
much.
Q
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
So
when
will
this
site
to
reopen
oneington
Street,
they
will
discuss
it
at
that
point,
and
this
can
be
presented
in
front
of
council
when
we'll
be
talking
about
reopening
Wellington
Street.
So
if
we
need
service,
we
will
reroute
some
buses
and
we
also
want
to
have
some
protected
brake
lanes
for
the
users
just
to
confirm
when
it's
not
once
more.
There
are
no
agreement
between
the
city,
OC,
Transfer
and
sto.
Y
G
U
Yes,
Mr
smart,
that's
correct!
There's
a
lot
of
steps
that
we
have
to
take
to
reopen
the
road
and
consultation
with
the
key
stakeholders
is
something
that
would
be
included,
including
LC
transfer,
sto
we've
just
we've
already
started
discussions
in
terms
of
what
it
might
look
like,
but
again
once
we
get
approval
today.
If
that
happens,
then
we
would
have
a
team
to
work
directly
on
that
and
address
any
issues
that
might
come
up
and.
G
X
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
Certainly,
staff
can
work
with
the
existing
motion.
The
revised
motion,
the
only
key
difference,
is
the
reporting
back
on
any
temporary
seasonal
events
during
during
the
summer
of
2023,
which
could
be
a
direction
could
be
a
motion
if
it
was
canceled
as
well.
So
in
short,
yes,
we
could
work
without
it.
It
doesn't
change
the
task
for
either
motion.
Z
X
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Mr
Mayor.
Certainly
staff
can
assist,
as
we
heard
a
committee
from,
for
instance,
the
Sparks
Spark
Street
mall
authority.
There
are
costs
associated
with
that,
so
absent
of
a
financial
resources.
A
staff
would
be
having
these
discussions
with
pspc
NCC,
the
mall
authority
and
others
to
seek
Partnerships
and
funding
to
do
any
any
types
of
these
measures.
Z
Okay,
thank
you
and,
above
and
beyond
the
funding
for
the
actual
programming.
Would
it
be
a
resourcing
issue
like?
Would
you
need
to
take
anything
off
your
work
plan
in
order
to
sort
of,
as
I
said,
take
the
lead
on
looking
at
different
programming
opportunities
and
managing
that
relationship
with
the
federal
government.
X
AA
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
so
I
am
I'm
generally
supportive
of
the
of
the
the
main
motion.
The
recommendations
before
us,
I
Echo
councilor
trosters
comments
on
what
we
believe
to
be
the
intention
of
the
motion
and
I'm
generally
supportive
of
the
Amendments
proposed
by
councilor
Menard,
but
I'm
I'm,
uncertain
about
what
the
Second
Amendment
means.
So
this
is
a
question
for
for
the
Mover
for
councilmanard.
AA
If
you
can
help
me
understand
what
you
mean
by
that
first
sentence
of
a
second
amendment
that
counselor
supports
the
vision
of
Wellington
Street
as
a
sustainable,
Transportation
Corridor.
Only
because
I,
don't
I,
don't
yet
know
the
vision,
so
I'm
not
sure
about
supporting
the
vision.
If
I
don't
yet
know
it,
but
I
would
love.
It
sounds
really
good.
I
just
want
to
understand
better
what
you
mean
by.
V
Absolutely
thanks
thanks,
bear
and
thank
you
counselor
Devine,
for
the
question,
the
sustainable
modes
of
transportation.
There
are
more
some
that
are
more
sustainable
than
others.
So
when
you
look
at
those
traditionally,
those
are
things
like
walking,
biking,
scooters,
public
transport,
public
transit.
Those
are
normally
referred
to
as
sustainable
transportation,
and
in
this
case,
obviously
it's
just
proposal
for
rail,
whether
underground
or
on
the
surface.
V
Through
this
Corridor
there's
a
lot
of
potential
that
we've
got
here
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
recognize
look
we're
opening
something
back
up
after
a
convoy
occupation
that
didn't
do
well.
We
didn't
try
anything
in
this
Corridor
and
it
didn't
work
right.
Bridget,
pellerin's
words
were
exactly
right.
We
tried
nothing
and
it
didn't
work,
and
so
what
we're
getting
at
is
look
around
that
committee
table
and
the
people
have
been
running
into
us.
You
know
support
this
is
a
sustainable
Transportation
corridor
and
we
need
to
make
sure
the
council
agrees
with
that.
V
If
the
intent
here
is
to
open
this
up
and
just
keep
this
open
for
years
and
years
to
to
vehicles
on
this
main
business,
like
no
other
G7
country-
would
would
do
at
this
point.
I,
don't
think
that's
a
wise
decision
and
that's
my
concern
with
the
overall
motion
right
now
is:
there
is
no
vision.
There
is
nothing
laid
out
for
what
this
should
be
in
the
future.
It's
just
opening
it
back
up
to
cars
and
hoping
that
we
get
a
deal
from
the
federal
government
and
I.
Don't
think
that's,
sustainable
and
I.
AA
Thank
you,
councilman
I
still
got
four
minutes
yeah.
Thank
you
that
that
does
help
me
understand
a
lot,
because
I
am
supportive
of
the
fact
that
Wellington
should
be
both
a
place
for
the
circulation
of
of
of
people
and
for
and
a
place
for
people
itself,
and
your
your
Amendment
helps
clarify
to
me
that
you're
seeking
that
on
the
circulation
of
people,
aspect
of
it
you're
looking
for
it
to
be
the
most
efficient
and
sustainable
way
of
circulating
people.
Thank
you
for
that
clarity,
foreign.
G
My
view
is
that
is
that
the
motion
that
we're
dealing
with
today
is
in
in
accepting
the
fact,
as
the
transportation
committee
did,
that
the
motion
that
closed
Wellington
Street
expired
on
December
31st
2022
and
that
a
decision
needs
to
be
taken
about
Wellington
now.
I
think
this
creates
an
opportunity
to
discuss
the
vision
for
Wellington
Street,
going
forward
the
perfect
opportunity
to
do
that.
G
G
Actually
in
London
England,
the
the
road
that
continues
off
the
Westminster
bridge
by
the
Palace
of
West
monster,
which
is
where
the
House
of
Commons
of
the
United
Kingdom
is
that
road
is
open
and
it's
a
lot
closer
to
the
parliament
buildings
in
in
the
United
Kingdom
than
than
Wellington
Street
is
to
the
parliament
buildings
in
Ottawa.
There
is
no
Great
Lawn
between,
as
there
is
in
Ottawa,
between
the
Palace
of
Westminster
and
the
road
on
which
cars
can
travel.
G
So
that's
not
a
reason
to
to
keep
Wellington
Street
open
to
vehicles,
but
it
is
a
point
of
clarification.
Other
G7
capitals,
other
capital
cities
around
the
world,
have
taken
different
approaches
to
how
they've
handled
security
and
and
traffic,
so
all
of
our
options
are
open,
but
I
think
the
this
opens
the
door
to
us
having
the
discussion
about
the
vision
and
we
don't
need
to
prescribe
the
vision
in
this
particular
motion.
Let's
go
next
to
counselor
Lowe.
C
Thank
you
mayor
my
questions
for
staff.
The
NCC
has
a
lot
of
particularities
about
design
things
down
to
the
color
of
the
backing
Board
of
the
traffic
light
on
the
back
side.
Do
you
foresee
that
delaying
implementation?
Do
you
foresee
that
delaying
reinstallation
of
the
traffic
lights
in
any
way
like
where
the
existing
lights
stored
or
where
they
redeployed
it
all.
U
AB
You
Mr
Mayor
I,
would
repeat
all
the
things
you
said
and
then
what
councilor
Brockington
said
as
well
about
what
the
seniors
who
are
writing
to
me
are
saying
about
wanting
to
have
access
to
the
parliament
buildings
in
in
our
office.
We've
been
getting
a
lot
of
emails,
people
saying
that
they
would
like
it
to
be
all
pedestrian
and
we've
been
getting
a
lot
of
emails.
AB
That
say
they
would
like
it
open
and
then
we've
had
other
emails
where
people
have
said
what
about
a
similar
model
to
Lansdowne,
where
there
is
an
ability,
but
the
speed,
limit's,
20
and
people
just
Meander
through
there
are
many
options
and
I
guess.
My
overall
point,
then,
is
that
that
is
what
is
to
come.
The
discussions
on
what
is
to
come.
Not
a
decision
right
now
now
is
to
open
again
and
then
have
those
discussions.
AB
The
last
thing,
I
will
say,
is
there's
also
so
much
to
come,
not
on
Wellington
but
near
Wellington,
which
is
lebreton
flats
and
what
that
will
mean
and
and
how
the
road
work
will
go
there
and
how
the
traffic
will
flow
around
there.
That
would
affect
what
happens
on
Wellington
and
the
discussion,
questions
about
Spark
Street
and
how
that
ties
into
the
entire
area,
so
I
think
there's
a
lot
more
to
come.
Nothing
I
would
want
to
solidify
right
now
with
the
amendment,
but
I
will
be
supporting
the
main
motion.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you
very
much
Mr
Mayor,
so
I
I'm
I'm
interested
in
this
conversation
for
our
further
Transportation
master
plan
and
transportation
committee
conversations,
because
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
square
a
circle.
Wellington
Street
is
an
arterial
road,
so
its
function
is
to
move
cars.
That
is
what
it
is
designed
to
do
by
Traffic
Engineers,
and
here
we
have
it
in
front
of
this.
N
You
know
beautiful
iconic,
very
meaningful
space
and
we're
going
to
have
to
try
and
resolve
how
we
make
break
open
this
function
of
a
road
to
suit
all
kinds
of
of
modes,
and
this
is
a
conversation
that
is
going
to
come
up
again
and
again
at
Transportation
committee
and
with
the
master
plan,
so
I'm
very
encouraged
to
continue
wrestling
with
this
I'm.
Also
thinking
about
some
of
the
particularities
in
the
amendment
when
it
comes
to
the
animation
of
the
space.
N
So
we
know
sometimes
that,
like
from
The
Spark
Street
baia
that
these
things
can
be
incredibly
costly.
So
what
I
might
ask
for
staff
is
as
they're
considering
how
to
support
animation
of
this
space
is
if
we
can't
increase
revenues
for
these
Community
actors
to
animate
the
space,
what
we
might
be
able
to
do
is
reduce
their
expenses,
and
so
that
might
help
them
to
access
the
the
space
and
to
animate
it.
X
AC
Think
that
continues
I'm,
certainly
willing
to
support
this
I
I
appreciate
that
the
ask
is
for
the
federal
government
to
to
provide
funding
and
let's
hope
that,
potentially
that's
a
yes,
but
to
the
Mover.
If
the
answer
is
no
I
just
want
to
manage
expectations
that
the
ask
won't
come
back
to
the
council
table
if
we
support
this
for
city
funding.
For
this
thanks.
V
Very
much
counselor,
that's
a
that's
a
great
question.
That
is
what
we've
been
working
with.
City
staff
on
they
had
talked
to
me
about
what
activation
would
cost
in
this
area,
just
for
the
stretch
that
we're
that
we're
speaking
about
in
front
of
the
hill
and
that
their
the
funds
aren't
allocated
there.
So
that
would
have
to
be
a
future
discussion.
V
Obviously,
if
that
would
ever
come
back,
but
the
ideal
area
that
we
go
in
here
and
I
think
what
we're
trying
to
do
with
this
motion
is
specifically
ask
the
feds,
the
NCC
other
partners
to
come
to
the
table
with
us,
because
I
think
they
have
a
vested
interest
here.
That's
the
main
portion
of
this
motion
obviously
gets
Council
support
behind
that
which
we
don't
have
in
the
other
main
motion.
V
AC
G
G
Y
G
Since
this
issue
was
put
on
the
agenda
of
the
transportation
committee,
residents
and
others
have
been
talking
and
writing
about
Wellington
and
the
future
of
our
downtown
court
and
we've
started
important
and
respectful
conversations
with
the
federal
government.
I
see
all
of
this
as
healthy
and
productive
as
a
city.
We
open
and
close
roads
all
the
time
without
incident
or
without
much
concern,
but
this
time
it's
different,
obviously,
because
it's
not
just
about
a
road,
it
is
about
the
future
of
downtown
Ottawa.
G
I
know
that
members
of
council
have
heard
from
people
throughout
Ottawa
on
this
issue,
we've
heard
from
residents
who
live
in
our
downtown
and
use
Wellington
on
a
daily
basis.
We've
heard
from
the
business
Community
who
rely
on
Wellington
for
deliveries
to
their
companies
on
Spark,
Street
and
other
areas
of
the
Parliamentary
Precinct.
We've
also
heard
from
our
political
leaders
here
at
the
city
and
on
Parliament
Hill,
it's
critically
important
that
we
make
any
decisions
about
Wellington
today
and
in
the
future,
based
on
the
most
important
criteria
and
our
Collective
values.
G
We
can't,
let
fear,
Drive
our
decisions.
We
can't
base
lasting
choices
on
one
event:
we
must
Choose
Wisely
based
on
our
goals
for
the
next
several
Generations.
As
the
conversation
continues
Beyond
today,
we
must
move
beyond
the
events
of
the
past
and
focused
on
the
best
possible
future
for
downtown
Ottawa,
no
matter
what
happened
a
year
ago,
it's
important
to
remember
that
our
city
is
remarkably
safe
and
well
protected,
especially
when
compared
to
other
Capital
Cities
and
our
Democratic
institutions
remain
open
and
accessible
in
the
short
term.
G
Y
G
Open
or
close
to
vehicles,
but
under
whose
jurisdiction
it
will
fall
and
whether
or
not
it's
closed
to
Vehicles,
it
can't
look
like
it
does
today.
It
must
become
an
even
better
space
for
the
community
and
for
the
country.
Each
of
these
decisions
must
be
made
with
the
best
interest
of
the
city
of
Ottawa
in
mind.
Whatever
we
choose
long
term,
it
must
work
for
our
residents
and
for
all
Canadians
who
experience
the
capital
I
remind
you
that
the
decision
the
council
makes
today
is
not
the
end
of
the
process.
G
V
V
The
amendment
does
three
things
number
one.
It
clearly
outlines
that
the
federal
government
should
be
paying
for
this,
that
there
is
an
expectation
of
a
report
back
period
for
a
pilot
this
summer
and
that
there
is
a
vision
that
this
municipality
believes
in
around
sustainable
transportation
in
front
of
the
most
iconic
building
in
the
country.
V
I
think
it's
important
that
we
pass
this
motion,
because
otherwise
we
are
just
leaving
this
at
the
at
the
whim
of
direction.
That
has
not
been
given
without
a
vision,
and
so
this
is
a
very
basic
motion
that
if
we
can't
even
get
behind
something
we're
opening
this
road
up
again
and
can't
have
a
basic
motion
pass.
That
does
a
few
of
these
things
to
or
perceive
more
clarity
that
I'm
not
sure
what
you
know.
What
the
point
is:
I
guess
we
you
look
at
other
G7
capitals.
V
I
know
that
the
mayor
mentioned
London
England.
Well,
you
look
at
London
England,
you
look
at
Hyde
Park
and
you
know
the
region
Park
Westminster
Hall.
These
are
areas
that
the
the
the
green
space
in
front
of
that
broader
London
area
serves
that
population
very
well
for
things
like
active
transportation.
We
don't
have
that
as
much
in
this
Corridor
in
this
area
and
so
I
think
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
get
at
is
that
I
think
our
federal
Partners
really
want
this
to
happen.
I
and
I
think
this
gives
us
more
leverage.
V
To
be
honest,
if
you
start
with
a
pilot
project
of
pedestrianization
and
activation
of
that
street,
there's
only
more
leverage
for
the
owners
of
that
and
the
potential
there
not
less
opening
it
up
to
cars,
isn't
isn't
just
going
to
provide
more
leverage.
It's
the
vision
and
the
work
that
we're
going
to
do
together
to
make
this
area
truly
fantastic.
And
so
that's
that's.
V
What
I'd
like
to
underline
with
with
folks
here
today
is
you
know,
there's
a
there's,
a
real
potential
for
vision
here
and,
let's
make
sure
we're
not
leaving
on
the
table
a
report
back
period
for
a
pilot
this
summer,
a
vision
about
sustainable
transportation
and
that
that
very
clearly
Council
says
the
federal
government
should
pay
for
this,
which
is
what
this
motion
does.
Thank
you
mayor.
G
Thank
you,
councilman
Arch
again.
I
would
just
reiterate
that
I,
my
feeling
is
with
the
original
motion.
We're
able
to
do
all
of
that
and
still
have
the
flexibility
required
and
I
I
I
feel
confident
that
the
work
that
went
into
this
at
the
transportation
committee
reached
an
appropriate
outcome
but
I
respect
where
you're
coming
from
in
that
councilman
all
right.
Let's,
let's
vote
on
the
oh
sorry,
yeah
I'm.
AA
Not
even
sure
I
just
wanted
to
with
regard
to
the
Menard
amendment,
I
do
see
the
two
Clauses
in
the
Menard
Amendment
as
two
very
different
things.
The
second
Clause
definitely
asked
us
to
support
a
vision
that,
as
you
say,
Mr
Mayor
we
have
not
yet
had
and
and
the
goal
is
to
have
that
conversation
separately,
but
the
first
Clause
of
the
of
the
Menard
Amendment
just
seeks
to
put
a
little
bit
more
rigor
into
when
we
might
get
a
report
back
so
I'd
like
to
ask
I.
AD
G
G
Yeah
we're
going
to
vote
first
on
on
the
amendment
to
Point
number
two
of
the
original
motion
and
then
we'll
vote
separately
on
point
number,
five
of
the
original
motion,
the
amendment
to
point
number
five
of
the
original
motion,
so
we're
voting
first
on
be
a
resolved.
The
committee
recommendation
to
be
amended
to
read
as
follows:.
AD
O
K
L
AD
G
M
K
AD
AD
G
G
G
G
All
right
is
that
received
and
adopted,
as
amended
received,
all
right.
Thank
you
all
right,
motions
of
which
notice
has
previously
been
given,
and
we
have
a
motion
from
councilor,
King
and
I
understand.
That
motion
has
been
amended
slightly
to
adjust.
The
dates
that
are
referenced
in
the
motion
is
that
right,
counselor,
correct,
that's
correct,
yeah.
I
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Your
worship
I'm
pleased
for
the
second
consecutive
time
to
introduce
emotion,
recognizing
National
Youth
week
in
Ottawa
National
Youth
week
celebrates
youth
engagement
and
showcases
the
abilities
and
talents
of
our
youth
in
Civic
engagement,
Recreation
arts
and
sports.
Last
year,
youth
Ottawa
coordinated
a
tremendous
amount
of
programming
that
included
an
active
use
showcase
right
here
at
City
Hall,
which
highlighted
several
amazing
community-based
projects
by
students
which
include
Community,
Gardens
and
little
free
libraries.
I
Events
last
year
also
featured
the
works
of
young
artists
and
musicians
and
creative
Industries
under
youth
ottawa's
artistic
mentorship
program,
and
offered
youth
the
opportunity
to
have
their
voices
heard
through
candid
conversations
about
Community
engagement
with
the
former
mayor
and
other
Paul
makers.
Due
to
the
incredible
success
of
last
year's
series
of
events
and
youth,
ottawa's
determination
to
Showcase
even
more
amazing
and
Innovative
projects
this
year,
it
is
my
distinct
pleasure
to
introduce
a
motion
that
will
once
again
demonstrate
the
boundless
creativity
of
our
local
youth.
G
Thank
you,
councilor
King,
any
other
comments
or
questions.
This
motion
carried
good
all
right.
Thank
you
before
we
move
to
item
13.2
prior
to
dealing
with
the
motion
on
commemorative
naming.
There
is
a
motion
from
counselor
Brown
on
an
updated
commemorative
naming
for
babe
McRae
Park,
so
I'm
asking
for
suspension
of
the
rules
to
deal
with
that
motion.
First
on
suspension
of
the
rules
is
that
carried
okay,
counselor
Brown.
AG
AG
AG
Maynell
Road
in
Richmond,
Ontario
known
as
main
now
park,
retain
its
name
as
main
owl
Park
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
an
appropriate
stand
and
plaque
be
installed,
displaying
the
name
and
including
a
brief
history
of
Babe
mcrae's
contributions
and
be
it
further
resolved
at
all
costs
related
to
the
production
and
installation
of
the
stand.
Plaque
and
subsequent
event
will
be
funded
through
the
counselor's
office.
AG
Mr
mayor
council,
colleagues,
after
Council,
provided
their
approval
for
this
motion
at
our
previous
meeting
staff
in
the
planning
parks
department
did
approach
me
about
this
new
soon
to
be
constructed
Park,
and
it
was
their
request
and
suggestion
that,
instead
of
renaming
the
existing
Park
that
we
named
the
new
park
in
honor
of
Mr
McRae
I
thought
it
was
a
reasonable
request,
which
is
why
it's
coming
to
you
again
so
I
hope
I
can
have
my
Council
colleague
support
on
this.
Thank
you.
Mr
Mayor.
G
G
AH
You
mayor
Sutcliffe,
when
I
originally
read
this
in
it
didn't
have
a
date,
so
it
was
an
indefinite
amount
of
time
that
staff
were
asking
for.
I
have
now
asked
that
you
will
note
that
I'll
read
that
therefore
be
resolved
in
a
moment,
but
I
also
want
to
note
that
I
had
some
wonderful
discussions
with
counselor,
deroche
and
others
in
regards
to
just
what
this
means
and
how
this
will
impact
our
ability
to
commemorate
and
and
remember
a
lot
of
the
amazing
people
in
our
community.
AH
Through
this
process,
staff
need
the
time
to
catch
up.
There
is
a
backlog
of
28
of
these
and
they
did
not
have
the
funding
for
for
quite
some
time
to
be
able
to
do
so.
This
will
give
them
the
ability
to
to
get
rid
of
that
backlog
and
then
refocus
so
I
know.
All
of
us
have
people
in
our
community
who
deserve
recognition
and
that
will
come
forward.
AH
AH
Therefore
be
resolved
that
a
moratorium
be
placed
based
on
any
new
commemorative
names
for
municipal
Parks
streets
and
Facilities,
until
staff
report
back
to
Council
on
a
revised
commemorative
naming
policy
for
municipal
streets
parks
and
facilities
in
q1
2024,
be
it
further
resolved
that
this
moratorium
include
commemorative
names
brought
for
by
way
of
the
formal
program
applications
and
by
motions
to
city
council.
Be
it
further
resolved
of
any
commemorative
naming
applications
received.
As
of
February
8
2023
May
proceed
for
consideration
and
are
not
subjects
to
this
moratorium.
AH
Be
it
further
resolved
that
non-commemberative
street
naming
not
involving
persons,
will
continue
as
normal
as
part
of
the
street
registration
process
for
new
streets
and
be
it
further
resolved.
The
following.
The
adoption
of
the
overarching
municipal
commemoration
policy
staff
prepare
a
report
recommending
a
revised
commemorative
naming
policy
for
Parks
streets
facilities
that
is
more
inclusive,
comprehensive
and
sustainable
foreign.
O
AI
So
we
are
looking
at
that,
not
in
not
just
in
the
context
of
commemorative
namings,
but
looking
at
all
of
the
other
other
ways
that
the
city
commemorates
memorializes
its
residents.
So
the
intent
is
to
come
back
with
some
guidelines
in
terms
of
doing
that,
addressing
some
of
the
more
difficult
issues
like
removing
commemorations
that
are
in
some
cases
you
know
outdated.
Perhaps
so
a
more
comprehensive
look
at
the
policy.
O
Excellent,
it's
obviously
important
on
a
cyclical
basis
to
review
policy
and
make
sure
it's
up
to
date
and
modernized
and
reflects
the
desires
of
the
people
we
represent.
So
that's
good.
How
many
commemorative
namings
are
Community,
Based
or
Community
Driven
versus
more
of
a
corporate
driven
approach.
AI
I
I,
don't
have
an
exact
number
for
you,
but
I
can
tell
you
just
kind
of
anecdotally
that
most
that
have
come
forward
have
either
come
from
Community
nominations
or
from
the
through
counselors
offices,
where
a
resident
may
have
asked
a
counselor's
office
to
facilitate
a
commemoration.
Sometimes
that's
through
the
standard
process.
AI
O
AI
Mr
Mayor,
there
are
two
issues
here.
The
first
is
that
the
commemorative
naming
program
is
a
very
small
program
that
has
one
staff
that
spends
a
lot
of
time
on
it
and
we
do
have
as
councilor
dudas
mentioned,
we
do
have
a
backlog
of
I
think
it
is
now
over
30
nominations
that
have
been
approved,
but
not
actualized
out
in
the
community.
There's
several
reasons
for
that.
In
some
cases
it
was
the
pandemic
and
the
inability
to
move
forward
to
do
consultations
all
of
those
things
in
some
cases
funding.
AI
So
what
we
would
like
to
do
is
take
this
year.
Have
staff,
in
addition
to
working
on
the
policy,
is
to
do
a
catch-up
in
terms
of
the
the
ones
that
haven't
been
so
installing
the
plaques
having
the
events
working
with
the
counselors
offices,
those
kinds
of
things,
so
so
it
is
as
counselor
dudas
motion
speaks
to
to
to
give
us
a
bit
of
a
breather
in
terms
of
of
a
a
catch-up
year
to
to
to
do
that.
AI
AI
It
will
also
stop
the
fairly
significant
regular
flow
of
either
formal
program
applications
which
require
vetting,
affidavits
background
research,
as
well
as
the
Motions
that
are
coming
forward,
because
for
every
even
for
every
motion
there
is
a
requirement
to
then
produce
a
plaque
have
an
event
all
of
those
kinds
of
things.
So
it's
to
provide
us
with
a
bit
of
space.
O
Excellent
I
I
just
wanted
to
say,
there's
a
big
difference
between
needing
to
park
a
program
because
we
want
to
modernize
policy
and
the
application
process
versus
an
operational
challenge
because
of
Staffing
Resources
and
so
I
would
look
to
you,
Mr
general
manager.
That,
in
addition
to
bringing
a
modernized
policy
to
committee,
is
if
you
are
under
resource
that
has
to
be
addressed
as
well,
because
I
think
this
program
is
very
important
and
it
the
process
needs
to
flow
well
and
we're
certainly
looking
to
you
for
your
best
recommendations
and
Mr
Mayor.
O
My
last
comment
is
this:
should
Council
endorse
this
move
today
and
put
a
moratorium
on
the
commemorative
naming
process?
I
would
hope
that
Council
would
be
open-minded
should
that
there
be
an
urgent
need
for
a
commemorative
naming
that
a
counselor
can
articulate
well
that
we
would
be
open-minded
to
at
least
that
discussion
to
allow
that
to
go
forward.
Thank
you.
T
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
want
to
thank
the
Mover
for
putting
this
forward
I've
been
saying
for
a
long
time
when
I
was
the
liaison
on
women
and
gender
Equity
that
this
is
something
that
we
should
look
at
and
I
appreciate
that
it
is
being
looked
at
in
a
more
comprehensive
way.
I
also
appreciate
the
reaching
out
in
terms
of
looking
at
names
for
First,
Nation,
Inuit,
metis
and
other
deserving
communities,
so
I
think
it's
long
overdue
and
I
appreciate
that
it's
coming
forward.
Thank
you.
AI
Naming
is
one
one
channel
that
we
have
and
we
have
a
few
others
benches
and
trees
and
those
kinds
of
things,
but
increasingly,
what
we're
finding
is
that
others,
there
are
other
ideas
out
there
and
I.
Think
part
of
our
process
will
be
to
solicit
what
a
more
fulsome
Municipal
commemoration
program
might
look
like,
and
some
of
some
new
things
that
might
innovate
give
other
opportunities
so
that
it's
not
just
namings
and
benches
it.
AI
Q
This
file
is
very
important
to
me
because
I
sort
of
got
my
start
in
a
lot
of
Municipal
politics
with
the
Annie
paducock,
Park
and
I
know.
Daniel
are
also
involved
in
the
Annie
Paducah
Park.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
you
and
your
staff's
help
on
that
file.
But
one
thing
I
would
suggest
and
I'm
happy
to
work
with
your
office
on
this
is
a
lot
of
residents
will
sort
of
like
who
is
Annie
purugu?
Who
is
Strathcona?
Q
Who
is
you
know
the
people
that
we
name
our
Parks
after
so
if
the
actual
commemorative
naming
page
could
have
a
link
to
the
people,
their
biographies?
How
significant
they
were?
You
know.
I
was
just
explaining
to
my
son
the
other
day
who
Walter
Baker
was
because
he
was
wondering
why
we
have
a
huge
ice
pad,
an
area
named
after
him.
So
I
think
that
would
be
very
helpful
and
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
less
than
11
percent
that's
our
streets,
pools.
Q
G
AA
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
I'm,
not
sure.
If
the
emotion
the
original
motion
is
up
on
the
screen
or
not.
So
what,
with
regards
to
the
original
motion,
what
my
secondary
counselor,
Brockington
and
I
have
before
you
all
today
is
a
motion
seeking
counselor
support
for
an
initiative
being
pursued
by
a
local
member
of
provincial
Parliament,
an
initiative
to
make
it
mandatory
for
a
certain
multi-unit
buildings
to
have
emergency
backup
generators.
AA
The
reason
this
motion
is
being
pursued
is
to
protect
vulnerable
residents
from
the
dangers
and
the
indignities
that
many
have
experienced
and
will
continue
to
experience
during
long
power
outages
when
they
don't
have
access
to
an
elevator
emergency,
hallway
lighting
or
even
running
water.
The
reason
that
this
motion
was
drafted
in
this
manner
is
because,
while
the
consequences
of
inaction
are
local,
the
power
to
make
meaningful
change
falls
to
the
province,
and
so
my
motion
is
one
way
for
our
city
to
support
that
action.
During
the
past
a
week
I've
been
circulating.
AA
AA
The
CEO
of
hydro,
Ottawa,
Bryce
Conrad
has
provided
a
strong
letter
of
support
for
this
motion
and
for
the
action
that
It
ultimately
seeks,
but
over
the
past
week,
I've
also
heard
really
good
questions
raised
by
my
colleagues,
colleagues
who
are
seeking
to
properly
consider
the
motion
and
its
implications,
questions
about
the
venue
in
which
this
motion
could
and
should
be
debated,
such
as
debating
it
at
committee.
Those
questions
are
important
to
me.
The
process
to
hear
them
publicly
is
important
to
me.
AA
I
am
grateful
to
my
colleagues
to
have
urged
me
to
bring
this
debate
to
a
more
appropriate
Forum.
What's
also
important
to
me
are
the
safety
and
quality
of
life
of
the
residents
most
impacted
by
this
motion,
because
as
Bryce
Conrad
and
I
discussed
last
night
and
in
light
of
the
certain
reality
of
increased
extreme
weather
events,
these
kinds
of
dangerous
outages
will
happen
again,
and
so
in
order
to
continue
moving
this
discussion
forward,
but
also
to
ensure
that
the
discussion
happens
in
the
best
way
possible.
AA
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
refer
the
matter
to
the
emergency
preparedness
and
protective
services
committee
meeting
of
February
the
13th.
At
that
meeting
we
can
hear
public
delegations
from
all
sides
of
the
debate
and
bring
better
and
more
complete
answers
to
all
of
my
colleagues
questions,
and
so
there
is
a
motion
to
defer,
be
it
resolved
that
the
Divine
Brockington
motion
regarding
Bill
47
be
referred
to
the
emergency
preparedness
and
protective
services
committee
for
consideration
at
its
meeting
of
February
13
2023.
T
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
thank
my
colleague
for
bringing
this
motion
forward.
Anyone
who's
been
in
a
building
after
a
terrible
storm
where
they
lost
power.
We'll
know
how
important
it
is.
I
recall
this
in
2018,
where
power
was
lost
for
a
few
days
and
climbing
up
20
stories
to
go
visit,
people
whose
elevators
were
still
not
working.
This
is
really
important
and
I
hope
to
have
a
good
conversation
on
this.
It's
it's
very
much
needed
just.
T
C
AC
AD
AC
Thanks
Merit,
your
son
referral
again
I
I
have
some
issues
with
with
sort
of
the
proxy
voting
nature
of
this.
This
bill,
which
I
won't
speak
to
since
this
referral.
But
you
know
this.
The
next
meeting
is
our
budget
meeting,
where
we
should
be
focusing
on
the
city,
budget
and
I
just
am
concerned
that
again,
this
is
a
provincial
issue
and
we'd
be
debating
at
committee
on
the
day.
We
should
be
talking
about
our
our
own
budget.
The
challenges
that
we're
having
so
I
won't
be
supporting
referral
to
committee.
AC
AJ
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
in
complete
agreement
with
councilor
darash.
My
concern
would
be
that
the
next
meeting
for
Epps
is
going
to
be
discussing
the
budget.
I.
Don't
know
that
that's
the
right
time
for
this
and
I'm
not
sure
that
this
is
of
such
an
urgent
nature
that
it
needs
to
be
brought
at
the
next
meeting.
So
I
will
not
be
supporting
that
motion.
O
Thank
you
chair
as
the
Mover
articulated.
He
believes
that
the
more
are
the
most
appropriate
venue
to
allow
public
to
speak
to
the
item
and
other
stakeholders
is
committee
or
committee
can
receive
delegations.
So
for
those
who
Express
concerns
with
the
substance
of
the
motion
committee
would
be
the
most
appropriate
location.
It's
not
automatic,
based
on
council's
referral
today,
if
this
is
passed,
the
committee
must
procedurally
pass
a
motion
to
allow
the
matter
because
the
agenda
has
already
been
distributed
to
allow
this
to
go
on.
O
So
if
committee
members
have
concerns
when
this
matter
comes
to
committee,
they
can
make
that
that
decision,
but,
procedurally
it's
an
order
to
refer
the
matter
to
committee
today
and
then
the
committee
will
decide
whether
or
not
it
wants
to
handle
at
that
meeting.
There's
I
will
say
the
mayor
that
the
the
committee's
agenda
is
fairly
late.
Yes,
the
budget
is
the
main
item,
but
I
believe
there
is
room
to
accommodate
this
matter.
Thank
you.
AB
Where
would
they
put
these
generators
and
those
kinds
of
questions
which
is
really
planning
and
planning
staff
would
want
to
have
input
and
finance
staff
in
terms
of
what
we're
hearing
from
Ottawa,
Community,
Housing
already
so
I,
just
think
which
committee
like
it
seems
like
more
than
one
committee
unless
you're
going
to
have
all
these
other
staff
come
to
that
committee.
I
think
there
will
be
questions
that
are
Financial
in
nature
and
planning
in
nature,
not
just
Emergency
Services.
X
Certainly
there
is
a
Mr
Mary,
a
building
code
aspect
to
this
in
in
terms
of
location
of
generators,
but
I
would
think
the
primary
roots
of
this
are
an
emergency
access,
egress
perspective
so
subject
to
Mr
Yachts
comments.
I
think
staff
could
support
or
be
in
a
in
attendance
at
that
Committee
in
terms
of
any
planning
building
code
issues.

Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
I'll,
just
read
the
therefore
be
resolve
clause
and
provide
a
little
bit
of
context,
be
a
resolved
with
the
brown
Kelly
motion
be
deferred
to
the
next
regular
city
council
meeting
of
February
22nd
2023.
Mr
Mayor
I
appreciate
the
very
substantial
back
and
forth
on
this
motion.
I
think
our
colleagues
have
asked
some
very
good
questions
and
working
with
your
office
and
counselor
Kelly's
office
has
been
very
positive.
AG
One
of
the
things
that
councilor,
Kelly
and
I
have
done
is
had
a
few
meetings
with
Hydro
Ottawa,
and
we
feel
it's
very
important
that
as
our
major
partner
in
energy
and
electricity
here
at
the
city
that
they
have
the
opportunity
to
review
the
substance
of
this
motion
for
a
little
bit
longer.
One
of
the
challenges
brought
up
in
our
meetings
was
the
short
time
frame
between
last
week's
council
meeting
and
this
week's
council
meeting.
G
AL
AL
And
whereas
a
rating
criteria
of
the
ieso
procurement
process
is
formal
support
from
the
municipality
in
which
long-term
reliability
projects
is
proposed
to
be
located
and
whereas
the
deadline
to
submit
the
proposals
for
the
iesop
is
February.
16
2023.
therefore
be
a
result.
That
city
council
provide
a
municipal
support
resolution
for
the
solar
flow
through
funds
proposal
to
the
independent
electricity
system
operator
to
develop
a
battery
energy
storage
system
at
650
upper
Dwyer,
Hill
Road,
as
described
in
this
motion
and
in
the
appendix
below
so
I
think
this
is
a
pretty
straightforward
and
simple
one.
AL
So
I
won't
talk
too
long
about
this
and
I
know.
I've
had
a
couple
of
conversations
with
my
colleagues
and
it
did
come
up
in
councilor,
Brown
and
I's
meeting
with
with
Hydro
Ottawa
yesterday
and
I
was
happy
to
get
their
feedback
on
it
and
moving
forward
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
to
get
their
feedback
on
things
like
this
before
seeking
Municipal
support
resolutions.
AL
AL
M
AL
AL
G
Thank
you,
councilor
leaper,
any
other
questions
or
comments
is
the
motion
carried.
Thank
you
all
right.
Next,
we
have
motions
requiring
suspension
of
the
rules
of
procedure.
Counselor
Brockington
has
a
motion
on
earthquake
relief
for
turkey
and
Syria
on
suspension
of
the
rules.
Is
that
carried
okay,
councilor
Brockington?
Thank.
O
The
people
impacted
by
the
earthquake,
whereas
due
to
the
civil
war
in
Syria,
is
unclear
how
International
assistance
is
being
coordinated
at
this
time,
whereas
the
Turkish
Embassy
in
Ottawa
is
directing
interested
parties
to
donate
to
the
Canadian
Red
Cross
and
to
work
with
the
Turkish
Association
of
Canada,
whereas
the
association
is
asking
for
items
to
be
dropped
off
at
their
Ottawa
office.
That
includes
blankets,
winter
clothing,
boots,
tents,
flashlights,
shoes,
sleeping
bags,
diapers
feminine
products,
whereas
Ottawa
city
council
has
unanimously
approved
similar
motions
to
assist
with
the
Haitian
earthquake
relief
and
Caribbean
Nation.
O
G
S
Taking
into
consideration
the
involvement
of
several
city
of
Ottawa
departments,
including
building
code,
Services
planning,
Services
infrastructure
Services
among
others,
and
whereas
the
federal
government
has
launched
their
housing
accelerator
fund
with
an
aim
to
remove
barriers
and
help.
Municipalities
build
more
housing
through
measures
which
include
the
reduction
in
construction,
approval
timelines
and
the
rapid
development
of
vacant
or
underused
lands.
G
Q
The
house
recognized
that
the
Russian
Federation
is
committing
acts
of
genocide
against
the
Ukrainian
people
and
whereas
the
Ukrainian
people
and
Ukrainian
Armed
Forces
courageously
defending
their
country
from
the
Russian
Federation.
The
aggression,
whereas
the
people
of
Canada
and
people
of
Ottawa
stand
with
Ukraine
and
support
the
Ukrainian
people's
right
to
statehood,
Independence
freedom
and
self-determination.
Whereas
since
February
24
2022,
the
blue
and
yellow
flag
of
Ukraine
has
flown
outside
Ottawa
city
hall.
Q
War,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
out
on
February
24
2023,
the
city
of
Ottawa
city
council
of
Ottawa
commemorate
the
first
anniversary
of
the
Russian
federation's
invasion
of
Ukraine,
with
a
minute
of
Silence
honoring.
The
memory
of
the
victims
of
Russia's
war
against
Ukraine,
be
it
further
resolved
at
the
city
of
Ottawa
and
City
Council
of
Ottawa
resolutely
condemned
the
aggression,
crimes
against
humanity
and
acts
of
genocide
committed
by
the
Russian
Federation.
Q
Be
it
further
resolved
that
the
city
of
Ottawa
and
City
Council
of
Ottawa
reaffirm
its
complete
solidarity
with
Ukraine
Ukrainian
people
and
Ukrainian
people's
right
to
statehood,
Independence
freedom
and
self-determination.
Be
it
further
resolved
at
the
city
of
Ottawa,
the
city
council
of
Ottawa
affirmed?
They
shall
stand
with
Ukraine
until
all
internationally
recognized
Sovereign
territory.
Crane
is
liberated
from
Russia.
Thank
you.
G
S
G
G
S
Thank
you
so
much
just
a
context
of
the
inquiry
is
that,
of
course,
last
weekend
the
city
experienced
extreme
cold
temperatures
up
to
minus
42
degrees,
Celsius
with
the
wind
chill
and
many
counselors
receive
conflicting
information
from
staff
in
different
departments
on
the
communications
and
resources
in
place
to
keep
residents
safe.
It's
a
priority
for
our
offices
that
we
have
a
clear
response
to
these
issues
on
the
public
record.
So
this
is
the
inquiry.
S
Would
staff
report
back
to
emergency
Protective,
Services
committee
and
Community
Services
committee
on
the
detailed
procedure
for
when
an
extreme
weather
event
is
forecasted,
including
severe
cold
and
heat
warnings,
specifically
addressing
public
Communications
and
coordination
with
Ottawa
Public
Health
and
service
Ottawa

you.

In
terms
of
a
date,
we
don't
have
that
yet
we're
going
to
start
working
on
on
that
there's
some
work
that
needs
to
be
done
in
terms
of
getting
the
traffic
signals
reinstalled.
We
have
to
look
at
the
bike
lane
how
that's
going
to
be
designed
and
then
implemented,
and
then
we
also
have
to
work
with
our
Emergency
Services
partners
with
police
and
fire
and
paramedics
to
ensure
that
once
it
does
get
reopened
everyone's
comfortable
with
it.

But
it'll
be
after
March
1st
for
sure,
but
in
terms
of
timelines,
it's
difficult
to
say
we
will
be
updating
Council
when
we
actually
have
a
plan.
I
mean
we
have
to
meet
with
have
to
meet
with
my
team
to
sort
of
lay
out
what
the
plan
is
and
and
also
work
with,
like
I,
said
police
and
fire
paramedics
to
to
develop
that
schedule,
and
once
we
have
a
confirmed
timeline,
we'll
provide
that
to
council.
AF
Okay,
my
follow-up
is
for
the
mayor,
so
once
we
see
the
street
reopened
to
car
traffic,
I
understand
that
you're
with
the
motion
included
this
that
you'd
like
to
see
the
it
closed
temporarily
for
different
special
events.
So
can
you
kind
of
tell
us
how
that
is
a
departure
from
what
was
Wellington
prior
to
the
Convoy
protest
like
well?
How
will
it
be
different
than
how
Wellington
was
before
I.
G
Think
there's
a
couple
of
answers
to
that
question.
So,
first
of
all,
in
the
short
term,
there's
room
for
us
to
do
some
road
closures
during
the
summer,
for
example,
and
do
some
events
on
the
street
and
we're
open
to
ideas
around
that
and
a
productive
discussion
around
that.
And
then
obviously,
in
the
long
term,
which
is
the
real
decision.
AM
AF
Sorry
I
was
just
doing
something
for
a
noon.
Show
this
question
for
mayor
satcliffe
at
some
point
today,
we're
expected
the
other
Generals
Report
on
the
response
from
the
freedom
Convoy
I
know.
We
don't
know
what
it
says
just
yet,
but
what
are
you
hoping
that
we're
going
to
gain
from
it?
What
are
you
hoping?
The
city
is
going
to
learn
from
it
and
and
move
forward
from
it.
G
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
lessons
to
be
learned
from
what
happened
last
year
and
I
think
the
city's
already
been
working
hard
and
the
Police
Service
as
well,
and
the
Police
Services
Board
to
implement
important
changes
that
will
improve
how
we
handle
these
events
in
the
future
and
so
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
the
auditor
General's
reports
and
and
we'll
be
we'll,
be
reviewing
them
and
and
moving
as
quickly
as
possible
to
to
adopt
the
recommendations
that
are
that
are
appropriate
and
that
will
improve
Public
Safety.
AE
Thankfully,
I
would
actually
Echo
the
mayor's
remarks
in
terms
of
us.
Looking
forward
to
the
report,
we
have
made
several
changes
and
I'm
going
to
say,
recommendations
and
changes
in
terms
of
our
processes
based
on
our
own
observations
and
Lessons
Learned,
and
we
absolutely
look
forward
to
receiving
the
report
from
the
auditor
general
and
having
that
discussion,
not
only
at
committee
and
Council,
but
implementing
those
recommendations
in
the
near
future
is.
AE
AM
Y

Y

G

For
also
other
type
of
activities,
so
right
now
we're
starting
to
discuss
what
can
be
done
during
the
summer
of
2023..
Thank
you.
So
much
we'll
give
the
floor
to
Frederick
Pepe
Canada.
My
question
is
for
Mr
Landry
I
would
like
to
have
you
answer
in
French.
So
when
are
you
going
to
reopen
Wellington
Street
during
the
transportation
committee
meeting
you
talked
about
three
to
four
weeks
after
this
meeting
today.
Are
you
going
to
follow
the
same
timeline?
Y
Four
to
eight
weeks
is
more
for
the
the
lights.
Also,
we
have
to
put
all
of
the
needed
signs
for
the
bike
lane.
We
have
to
talk
to
our
different
partners,
such
as
the
police,
Ottawa,
Police,
Service,
Ottawa,
fire
service
and
Paramedic
Services,
because
when
we're
going
to
be
opening
Wellington
Street,
we
have
to
be
ready
to
ensure
the
safety
of
everyone.
We
do
not
have
a
specific
date
right
now,
because
we
have
to
meet
all
of
our
partners.
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
U
U
As
per
the
motion
that
was
approved
today
in
terms
of
their
timing
somewhere
with
paramedics
and
fire,
we
also
have
to
design
and
Implement
a
bike
lane,
so
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
when
we
do
and
go
out
and
and
install
all
that,
it's
all
done
in
a
coordinated,
Manner
and
and
so
in
terms
of
the
exact
dates
or
time
that's
difficult
to
say
now,
but
as
we
get
closer
and
we
go
through
the
plans,
we
will
inform
Council
in
terms
of
that
date
and
that'll
be
I'll.
Talk
to
you.
