As

on
behalf
of
Ottawa
city
council,
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
Ottawa
is
built

anishinaabe,
Algonquin

The
peoples

anishinaabe
Algonquin
Nation,
have
lived
on
this
territory
for
Millennia
their
culture
and
presence
have
nurtured
and
continue
to
nurture
this
land.
The
city
of
Ottawa
honors,
the
people
and
land
of
the
anishinaabe
Algonquin
Nation
and
honors
all
First
Nations,
Inuit
and
metis
peoples
and
their
valuable
past
and
present
contributions
to
this
land.
C
D
B
Chair
of
the
emergency
preparedness
and
protective
services
committee
to
join
me
for
this
special
presentation-
and
we
have
two
very
special
guests
who
are

us
this

Everybody
is
very
happy
to
see
you

morning
and
we're
looking
forward
to
recognizing
your
courage
in
the
face
of
very
difficult
circumstances.
So
please
join
me
in
welcoming
the
two
recipients
of
this
year's
children's
911
Awards.
They
are
Drake
McKenzie,
who
is
10
years

Miriam

who
is
13.
E
B
Stand
there
I'm
also
very
pleased
to
welcome
both
of
their
very
proud
families
today
and
I
want
to
thank
the
leaders
of
our
emergency
services
and
the
911
dispatchers
who
have
joined
us
for
this
presentation.
I
want
to

Kimmy

general
manager
of
emergency
and
protective
services,
Pierre

chief

Ottawa

Hutt
chief
of
Ottawa
fire
Services
I
also
want
to
thank
Sandy
McDonald
for
joining
us
today.
B
B
B
An
emergency
is
a
harrowing
situation
for
any
of
us.
Nobody
wants
to
be
in
a
situation
of
having
to
call
9-1-1
but
think
about
what
that's
like
for
a
young
person
in
particular.
Today
we
are
focused
on
these
two
courageous
and
quick
thinking,
young
Ottawa
residents,
who
took
appropriate
action
by
calling
9-1-1,
Drake
and
Miriam.
Both
did
just
that
and
we're
proud
to
recognize
them
for
their
proper
use
of
the
9-1-1
system.
A

just

I.

Control

and
consider
revisions
to
respond
to
concerns
identified
at
the
18
April
2023
environment
and
climate
change
committee.
Meeting
Mr
Mayor
this.
This
is
really
about
process
and
Alignment
and
about
balancing
our
city
priorities.
J
This
is
not
trying
to
to
undermine
the
intent
of
improving
our
green
standards
for
building
codes.
This
is
simply
a
timing
issue
and
a
process
issue.
We
as
a
city
have
declared
that
building
houses
is
a
priority
to
us.
We've
got
a
pledge
that
says
that
over
the
next
decade,
we're
looking
to
build
151
000
new
units.
In
order
to
do
that,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
processes
that
we
have
from
a
development
perspective
are
as
aligned
as
possible.
J
In
fact,
one
of
the
one
of
the
three
key
actions
to
meet
that
pledge
specifically
speaks
to
streamlining
our
governance
and
approvals
processes,
to
move
from
concept
to
construction
faster
and
to
make
delivery
of
housing
opportunities.
Our
focused
across
the
corporation
this
morning,
I
read
in
the
the
Ottawa
Citizen.
Similarly,
just
across
the
the
river
in
in
Quebec
property
owner
study
says
that
Quebec
needs
100,
130,
000,
more
homes
by
2031,
and
the
government
is
calling
for
an
easing
of
housing
regulations
as
a
way
to
deal
with
the
housing
crisis.
J
The
concern
that
I
have
with
the
high
performance
development
standards
as
they're
currently
written
is
twofold.
First
off
we
do
know
that
the
government,
the
provincial
government,
as
stated
by
the
letter
that
we
received
from
the
minister
of
of
housing
on
April
or
sorry
on
February,
the
18th,
indicates
that
this
summer
we
will
be
seeing
coordination
but
also
Direction,
coming
to
talk
about
green
standards
for
bill
for
the
building
code.
J
It
just
makes
sense
to
me
that,
instead
of
moving
ahead
of
them
independently
as
a
municipality,
that
we
would
wait
see
what
those
building
codes
requirements
are
going
to
look
like,
and
then
we
coordinate
ourselves
so
that
we're
aligned
with
provincial
government
on
that
topic
so
that
we
can
continue
the
process
of
improving
our
quality
building
standards.
I
know
that
right
now,
industry
best
practice
is
improving
and
they're
doing
that
in
some
ways
with
with
or
without
elements
of
this
regulation,
different
municipalities
have
have
implemented
different
programs.
J
I
know
that
in
Toronto
they
they
took
an
approach
back
in
2008,
we're
15
years
behind
that
I
acknowledge
that.
But
my
comment
would
be
if
we
wait
three
or
four
more
months.
Perhaps
we
can
do
this
in
a
more
synchronized,
Manner
and
I.
Think
that
balancing
our
city
priorities
is
important.
As
my
grade
10
teacher
back
in
accounting
told
me,
you
can
pick
three
two
out
of
three
things:
either
time
price
point
or
quality
and
in
this
case
we're
stressing
that
that's
awesome.
I
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
want
to
thank
councilor
Hill
for
moving
that
motion.
I
know,
we've
been
working
on
this
for
a
while
and
I
think
it's
a
good
compromise.
The
councilor
Hill
highlighted
the
importance
of
this
motion
and
then
we're
working
already
closely
with
our
with
the
province
to
making
sure
they're
doing
the
work
that
implementing
and
my
comment
also
as
of
some
conversation,
happened
yesterday.
If
we
don't
like
what
the
province
are
proposing,
then
at
that
time
let's
do
the
work
and
spend
the
money
in
also
we're
talking
about.
I
We
keep
talking
about
affordability
and
that's:
let's
wait
on
what
the
province
comes
with
and
and
then
we'll
Implement
what
we
need
to
do
to
making
sure
we
have
a
green
Energy
building.
So
I'm
not
gonna,
drag
this
a
lot
but
I
think
it's
I
I
urge
my
colleague
to
support
this
to
see
what
the
problem
is
going
to
come
up
with
and
it's
coming
in
the
summer.
It's
not
what
we're
asking
for
a
year
and
I
think
that
will
be
great
compromise.
So,
thank
you.
K
Thank
you
mayor,
good
morning
to
you.
My
question
is
for
staff,
because
I
just
want
to
seek
their
clarification
on
their
position.
This
came
through
committee.
My
understanding
is
staff
were
supportive
of
the
original
timelines
for
this
to
be
approved
by
committee
and
Council
and
to
proceed
forward.
Staff
knew
and
continues
to
know
that
the
province
May
release
additional
direction
or
guidance
on
this
matter
at
some
point
later
this
year,
but
can
staff
clarify
that
their
original
position
remains?
That
is,
they
believe.
Council
should
pass
the
recommendations
coming
out
of
committee
today.
L
K
L
K
How
do
you
address
the
concern,
given
that
your
recommendation
is
for
us
to
retain
the
the
existing
timelines
that
go
with
the
the
recommendation
that
was
approved
by
committee?
How
do
you
address
the
concern
that
you
know
the
province
might
release
some
pretty
substantial
changes?
We
will
have
just
implemented
our
own
building
standards,
and
now
we
have
to
go
back
and
make
some
significant
changes.
Do
you
think
that
holds
weight,
and
should
that
be
considered
in
our
deliberations
this
morning,.
L
Mr
hair.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Yes,
it's
certainly
a
a
matter
of
balancing
uncertainty
at
this
point
right,
we
don't
know
exactly
what's
coming
forward
from
The
Province
they've
indicated
as
councilor
Hill
noted
a
summer
end
of
summer
timeline,
but
we
don't
know
when
that
could
be
implemented
quite
often
there's
a
gap
in
terms
of
the
regular
implementing
regulations,
so
on
balance,
staff
felt
that
the
appropriate
approach
was
to
get
started.
It's
a
tiered
approach.
L
Parts
of
it
are
are
still
voluntary
until
till
January
of
next
year
to
start
building
that
staff
capacity
and
Industry
familiarity
with
the
process,
so
that
on
balance,
staff
felt
that
it
was
appropriate
to
move
forward.
We
would
certainly
respond
when
that
additional
information
in
terms
of
building
code
changes
come
forward.
Okay,.
M
Thank
you
so
much
mayor
I'm,
not
supportive
of
this
motion.
I
serve
a
rapidly
identifying
Ward
and
we
often
hear
that
simply
adding
density
will
fight
climate
change.
This
is
partly
true,
but
45
of
ottawa's
emissions
come
from
homes.
We
have
to
respond
to.
What's
there
now
and
I
know,
the
committee
worked
very
very
hard
on
this
process.
Better
building
standards
are
much
cheaper
than
retrofits.
M
Later
there
are
developers
and
architects
who
are
pursuing
inventive
Net
Zero
projects
and
they're
already
rising
to
the
challenge,
but
they're
the
exception
and
not
the
rule
and
also
I,
don't
know.
Many
of
you
maybe
have
heard
the
term
energy
poverty
which
refers
to
people
who
can't
afford
to
pay
their
Hydra
bills,
which
is
a
real
issue.
M
In
my
ward,
when
high
performance
building
standards
are
met,
it
reduces
the
costs
for
tenants,
so
at
Ottawa,
Community,
housing's
Mosaic,
building
on
Gladstone
tenants,
pay
extremely
low
energy
costs
15
a
year,
not
a
month
a
year
because
it's
a
net
zero
building.
This
is
one
of
the
ways
we
can
actually
make
it
a
more
affordable
City,
because
that
passes
the
savings
onto
residents
and
tenants
I.
M
Just
can't
see
delaying
this
when
staff
have
already
accounted
for
provincial
delays
when
Council
has
already
approve
this
in
principle
and
when
Ottawa
is
15
years
behind
Toronto
when
it
comes
to
these
standards,
so
I
would
like
us
to
move
forward
today
to
approve
these
really
important
environmental
building
standards.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you,
mayor,
yeah
I
went
back
to
my
notes
from
last
year
because
we
did
approve
this
set
of
standards
in
April
of
2022
and
understanding
that
that
it
wouldn't
come
into
full
effect
or
move
forward
until
the
official
plan
was
approved.
Obviously,
the
official
plan
took
quite
a
bit
longer
than
we
anticipated
to
approve,
and
there
are
so
many
benefits
to
these
standards.
N
Mr
herwire
mentioned
preparing
the
industry
for
the
change
that
is
coming.
Inevitably,
it's
good
for
public
health,
it's
good
for
resiliency
of
buildings
to
extreme
weather,
healthier
tree
canopy
is
is
something
this
Council
has
been
very
supportive
of,
and
of
course,
buildings
are
the
largest
source
of
greenhouse
gases.
So
I'm
concerned
about
any
delay
that
we
continue
to
add
to
this
process.
I
do
understand
the
province
may
be
introducing
their
own
changes
to
the
building
code.
N
I
think,
regardless
of
what
the
province
comes
at,
we
shouldn't
accept
that
as
a
baseline,
we
should
be
going
above
and
beyond
the
provincial
standards,
because
we
are
able
to
as
a
city
and
I
do
understand
the
concern
about
about
regulation
over
regulation
or
or
reducing
the
amount
of
regulations.
As
a
concern
around
the
housing
crisis,
but
I,
don't
think
weakening
the
building
code
or
diluting
environmental
standards
is,
is
the
way
this
the
type
of
Regulation
that
we
should
be
minimizing
I
want
to
get
a
clear
sense,
though,
from
staff.
N
This
motion
the
first
therefore
be
it
resolved.
What
does
this
really
mean
in
terms
of
number
of
months?
If
we
don't,
we
don't
know
when
the
province
is
going
to
be
implementing
these
changes,
but
how
soon
could
staff
come
back
with
their
recommendations?
I
guess
I'm,
trying
to
get
a
sense
of.
Is
this
going
to
be
back
in
front
of
Council
in
three
months
and
six
months
and
nine
months
in
a
year?
What
what's
realistic
in
terms
of
the
impact
of
this
motion
for
having
this
back
in
front
of
council.
L
Thank
you
for
the
question
Mr
Mayor,
so
the
the
motion
indicates
no
later
than
q1,
so
in
terms
of
the
Gap
I
guess
between
a
provincial
decision.
You're
looking
at
you
know,
probably
a
couple
months
before
we
could
come
back
to
committee
too
much
I
would
say
two
months
after
that.
Provincial
decision
is
landed.
I'd,
ask
Mr
wise
if
he
has
anything
to
add.
J
Mr
Mayor
I
agree
with
Mr
her
wire.
It
would
take
some
time
for
staff
to
absorb
what
that
might
mean.
It
all
depends
on
the
extent
of
those
changes.
If
those
changes
are
such
that
they
may
require
a
vision
to
the
tier
one
criteria
that
Council
and
the
committee
have
passed
from
last
year,
then
that
would
be
something
that
we
would
need
to
come
back
with
and
restructure.
J
If
these
are
changes
that
are
more
changes
to
the
procedural
mechanisms
of
the
of
how
to
do
and
implement
the
the
hbds,
then
those
would
be
things
that
staff
could
take
care
of
at
through
the
terms
of
reference
level.
So
it
really
does
depend
upon
what
the
Province
does
and
the
extent
to
which
those
changes
might
occur,
and
the
timing.
N
Okay,
because,
if
it
is
q1,
q1
could
be
pushing
to
March,
although
I
get
the
sense,
it
might
not
be
that
far,
but
it's
at
least
18
months
after
I
think
we
anticipated
these
might
be
implemented
when
Council
passes
last
year,
and
my
other
question
is
on
the
motion.
The
second
set
of
directions
to
staff
under
the
B,
therefore
be
it
resolved.
Can
those
be
accomplished
without
the
first?
Therefore
be
it
resolves.
D
J
N
Okay,
thank
you,
I
I,
at
this
point,
I
would
mind
the
the
second
Clause
I
think
these
are
things
worth
worth
directing
staff
to
review
I'm,
not
convinced,
yet
that
delaying
to
after
the
provincial
guidance
comes
through
is
a
good
idea,
but
I'll
listen
to
the
rest
of
the
discussion.
Today,
thanks
Mark.
G
Much
mayor,
I,
very
bluntly,
I,
believe
that
this
motion
is
a
rear
guard
action
against
the
implementation
of
Green
Building
standards,
on
which
the
city
of
Ottawa
is
very
far
behind
the
results.
The
outcome
of
implementing
the
kind
of
Green
Building
standards
that
we
are
contemplating
here
is
going
to
be
able
is
going
to
be
to
create
housing
that
is
actually
more
affordable
over
the
total
cost
of
of
that
housing
over
the
lifespan
of
it.
G
As
long
as
an
owner
owns
that
house
and
I
want
to
be
really
clear
that
the
province
has
said
very
explicitly
that
they
they
have
contemplated
that
cities
will
continue
to
use
section
41
of
the
planning
act
in
order
to
implement
various
aspects
of
Green
Building
Code.
If
we
take
a
look
at
the
letter
that
they
sent
us,
the
the
note
is
I
also
wish
to
clarify.
This
is
coming
from
The
Minister's
office.
G
I
also
wish
to
clarify
that
aspects
of
green
standards
that
are
not
brought
into
Ontario's
building
code
because
they
do
not
involve
building
construction,
including
green
infrastructure,
cool
Paving
biodiversity
tree
plantings.
Etc
will
continue
to
be
optional
standards
that
can
be
required
through
Municipal,
bylaw
and
implemented
through
site
plan
control.
We
need
to
get
moving
on
those
we're
behind
on
them.
The
housing
that
is
being
created
is
not
as
affordable
as
it
could
be
because
they're
not
built
to
these
sort
of
standards
and
we're
not
addressing
the
climate
crisis
with
which
we
are
faced.
G
As
long
as
we
continue
to
delay
implementing
Green
Building
standards,
colleagues
staff
have
built
in
timelines
to
adjust
to
whatever
Province
may
do
on
this
issue.
In
the
meantime,
it
behooves
us
to
continue
moving
forward
to
ensure
that
the
housing
that
we're
going
to
create
is
more
sustainable
and
more
affordable
for
the
long
term
mayor.
Thank
you.
O
You
Mr
chair
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
say
that
I'm
impressed
that
councilor
Hill
can
remember
what
his
grade
10
teacher
said,
and
this
is
gives
me
a
lot
of
Hope,
so
I
want
to
thank
Ottawa,
Community,
Housing
and
hydro
Ottawa
for
weighing
in
on
this
I
think
that
was
very
helpful,
because
I
didn't
expect
anything
different
from
them
really
I.
Just
think
that
we
should
always
consult
with
them
on
issues
that
really
affect
their
operations
and,
as
we
know,
both
organizations
were
in
favor
of
the
standards
and
really
I.
O
O
I
think
that's
a
great
idea,
and
we
should
be
doing
that,
but
I
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
waiting
just
a
little
bit
to
hear
what
the
province
has
to
say
and
sending
them
the
message
that
we
do
actually
care
what
they
put
forward
on.
On
and
I
on,
every
issue
May
translate
into
a
better
working
relationship
as
well.
I
would
know
anyway.
Thank
you.
P
P
P
Chemphill
has
everything:
it's
got:
schools,
it's
got
modern
homes,
it's
got
recreational
facilities.
Why
can't
our
Suburban
communities
look
like
this
and
I
think
we
really
have
to
pay
attention
to
this
bleed
because,
with
the
hybrid
work
environment
that
you
know,
the
unions
are
pressing
for,
and
many
colleagues
here
support
that
that
drive
I
think
we're
going
to
see
a
bigger
challenge
there
to
keep
the
housing
growth
within
the
boundaries
of
the
city
of
Ottawa,
so
that
we
can
then
manage
the
growth
property.
P
So
I
want
to
see
what
the
province
has
to
say
on
this
again
we
made
a
lot
of
pledges
to
build
homes
and
to
build
them
as
quickly
as
possible.
Already
the
site
plans
circulate,
circulate,
circulate
and
staff
are
doing
their
best,
but
you
know
we've
got
to
be
moved
quicker
if
we're
going
to
sort
of
address
some
of
the
the
rising
prices
that
show
no
relief.
P
Q
J
J
Those
hpds
policies
were
in
turn,
the
implementation
of
which
has
been
delayed
for
for
the
past
year,
pending
the
approval
of
the
official
plan,
and
we
are
also
looking
at
currently
within
the
package
that
staff
recommended
to
environment
committee
delaying
the
actual
requirement
to
implement
energy,
modeling
and
Community
energy
plans
until
January
of
2024
further
to
recognize
the
provincial
provincial
future
actions.
The
this
means
as
well
to
that
the
condition
of
approval
is
something
that
happens
at
the
tail
end
of
any
development
application.
J
So
when
a
site
plan
application
is
made,
there's
a
pre-submission,
it
goes
through
condition
of
approval.
That's
when
the
energy
model
would
be
required,
so
that
is
already
being
shifted
into
2024.
The
challenge
of
forces
is,
as,
as
we
add,
further
timeline
shifts.
The
question
then
comes
down
to
is
when
will
we
require
an
energy
model?
At
a
site
plan
level,
when
will
we
require
a
community
energy
plan
at
a
plan
of
subdivision
level?
J
When
will
those
kick
in
and
when
will
those
in
turn
have
Downstream
impacts
on
improving
Energy
Efficiency
of
the
product
that
we
see
built?
So
in
terms
of
the
the
risk
to
the
timing
and
delay,
it
really
does,
as
commented
before,
depend
upon
when
we
bring
in
place
the
requirement
for
expanded
Energy
Efficiency
requirements
for
our
built
environment,
and
that
in
turn
also
reflects
the
extent
of
the
provincial
changes
and
what
the
timing
of
implementation
might
subsequently
be
for
staff
to
come
back
and
provide
that
new
recommendation.
Q
Okay,
so
I'm
hearing
that
there
already
has
been
substantial
delays.
We
are
adding
an
additional
risk
of
potential
delays.
Can
you
comment
on
what
the
implications
might
be
for
construction
seasons
and
the
number
of
houses
like
what
kind
of
construction
Seasons
might
be
captured
in
some
of
these
delays?
I
guess
we've
already
seen
two.
L
Yeah,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Mr
Mayor.
So
in
terms
of
actual
construction,
as
Mr
wise
indicated,
a
lot
of
this
gets
implemented.
You
know
post
approval
or
as
a
condition
of
subdivision
approvals,
so
it
wouldn't
be
a
2024
issue.
It
could
substantially
affect
2025
and
26
and
Beyond.
So
it's
going
to
start
impacting
and
delaying
implementation.
Q
Okay,
so
I'm
just
trying
to
clarify
that,
in
fact,
although
we
are
looking
at
what
might
appear
to
be
a
two
and
a
half
month
delay,
we
have
implications
both
reaching
back
and
Reaching
Forward.
That
creates
a
different
perspective
on
timelines
and,
if
I
might
bring
in
a
a
different
perspective,
you
know
having
worked
for
a
non-profit
housing
developer,
who
had
to
break
ground
and
had
to
build
buildings.
Q
The
non-profit,
Housing
Industry
has
been
working
on
green
standards
of
practice
to
cut
down
on
operating
costs
for
years,
they've
been
really
advancing
that
kind
of
work
as
a
mechanism
of
affordability,
so
I
don't
understand.
The
equivalency
of
delaying
housing
starts
based
on
green
standards.
I
think
there
are
other
ways
of
doing
it
and
we
have
other
actors
that
are
doing
it
to
to
bring
that
affordability
forward
I'm
concerned
also
about
some
of
the
conflations
with
red
tape.
Specifically
for
these
standards.
L
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
yes,
yeah
you've
been
paying
attention
at
some
of
the
briefings,
so
we
will
be
bringing
a
report
forward
in
reports
for
it
in
June
on
the
bill.
109
and
Bill
23
implications
impacts
on
our
development
review
processes,
condensing
those
timelines.
As
as
council
members
are
aware,
it's
you
know
a
60
and
90
day
turnaround
cutting
pretty
much
in
half
what
our
our
historic
timelines
have
been.
So
there'll
be
a
report
playing
a
housing
Committee
in
June
and
Council
on
that
very
matter.
L
Q
Q
I
understand
that
we
are
creatures
of
the
province.
I
absolutely
understand
that,
but
we
do
have
the
authority
and
we
did
have
an
official
plan
process
that
approved
some
of
this
opportunity,
and
we
do
have
the
timeline
in
place
to
make
amendments,
but
we
within
our
own
wheelhouse-
and
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
say.
Q
Yes,
we
do
hold
ourselves
to
this
standard
and
we
will
continue
to
hold
ourselves
to
this
standard
I'm
concerned
about
the
risk
introduced
by
delaying
because
I
don't
know
as
a
builder
whether
I
want
to
continue
waiting
in
that
respect
either.
I
want
to
know
what
my
proformas
are
going
to
look
like
for
this
construction
season
and
for
next
construction
season.
Q
H
J
Mr
Mayor
the
consultation
process
for
the
high
performance
development
standards
has
been
extensive.
The
staff
last
year
conducted
extensive
negotiations
and
discussions
with
stakeholders
from
across
from
the
ministry
of
course,
consulted
quite
quite
closely
with
our
colleagues
in
Toronto
who
have
been
working
on
green
development
standards
since
2008.
J
extensive
consultations
across
the
board
with
Community
associations,
residence
industry
this
year,
as
well.
In
the
interest
of
transparency
and
fairness,
we
did
elect
to
bring
back
the
hbds
to
open
that
up
for
consultations
for
discussions
further
with
with
industry
as
well
this
year.
So
there
has
been
quite
a
bit
of
of
discussion,
I'm.
H
Glad
to
hear
that
sounds
like
extensive
consultation
on
this
just
a
question
to
the
Mover
Council
Hill.
This
is
coming
very
late
in
the
day
a
delay
tactic
I'm
just
wondering
who
you,
which
public,
did
you
consult
with
to
bring
this
motion
forward
after
it
was
consulted
with
extensively
by
City
staff
and
a
committee.
J
Sir,
just
by
late
in
the
in
the
game,
this
is
the
first
opportunity
that
I've
had
to
discuss
this
at
Council
after
our
committee
meeting
and
environment.
So,
as
you
know,
we
had
an
extensive
discussion
at
environment
committee
on
this,
where
this
did
pass.
Six
to
five
I
was
one
of
the
folks
that
was
concerned
about
this.
Just
based
on
the
timeline
that
we
had.
You
know
summer
23
to
me
it's
a
nice
day
outside
today
we're
getting
pretty
close
to
that.
J
So
I
I,
just
don't
see
the
the
stress
issue
here
with
waiting
a
few
months
in
order
to
be
aligned
with
another
government
Department
in
that
so
I
don't
see
this
being
a
late
in
the
game
opportunity.
For
me,
this
is
the
first
opportunity
that
I've
had
at
Council
to
be
able
to
discuss
this,
since
this
went
through
planning
committee.
Sorry,
since
this
went
through
environment
committee
in
the
first
place,
yeah.
H
J
I
think
no!
No,
it
was
a
question,
though
so
just
to
respond
to
that
in
terms
of
consultation
with
the
public
I
take
this
back
counselor
to
the
consultation
that
was
done
for
the
affordability
issue
of
the
of
the
of
the
of
life
in
the
city
of
Ottawa,
which
I
think
was
the
election
issue
in
the
last
campaign.
People
are
concerned
about
the
cost
to
live
in
this
city,
and
a
big
part
of
that
is
the
is
the
is
the
housing
prices
which
this
will
increase.
J
B
H
Thanks
so
much
thanks,
so
much
mayor
and
I
think
the
counselors
that
are
talking
about
cost
of
living
are
ignoring
the
cost
that
this
saves
residents
over
time,
renters
and
homeowners.
Because
of
building
efficiency.
It
actually
saves
more
money
than
the
cost.
I
think
any
Builder
will
tell
you
makes
more
sense
to
build
up
front
to
build
those
costs
in
instead
of
expensive
retrofits.
Later
it's
a
savings
for
residents.
Let's
not
pretend
it's
any
different,
I
think
questions
to
Legal
staff
mayor
in
the
letter
that
we
sent
back
to
the
province.
H
R
Mayor,
obviously,
there
may
be
differences
from
other
parties,
but
the
the
restrictions
that
were
imposed
by
Bill
23
do
provide
exceptions
for
things
like
sustainable
design.
So
it
would
appear
that
there
is
room
for
the
municipality
to
impose
these
kinds
of
requirements,
at
least
under
the
existing
scheme.
H
Perfect
thanks
so
much
for
that
and
I
guess
a
question
to
staff
as
well
the
if
Council
passed
the
hpds
today.
Do
you
feel
confident
that
you
could
Implement
potential
provincial
changes
and
be
able
to
incorporate
those
potential
provincial
changes
in
the
plan?
Have
you
already
been
planning
for
that.
J
And
Mr
Mayor,
the
staff
recommendation
from
the
environment
committee
meeting
did
recommend
that
the
energy,
modeling
and
Community
energy
plans
would
not
kick
in
as
a
requirement
to
their
condition
approval
until
January,
and
that
was
done
to
provide
the
opportunity
to
reflect
upon
what
changes
the
province
might
bring
forward.
So
there
there
is
mechanisms
that
have
been
built
into
that
recommendation
that
flow
from
environment
committee.
H
Fantastic
thanks
so
much
I,
guess,
mayor,
I'd,
surmise
that
this
is
not
about
harmonization
in
any
way
shape
or
form.
It's
clear
from
the
arguments
we're
hearing
around
the
table
today.
That
will
happen
if
we
pass
the
report
here
today,
harmonization
will
occur.
Staff
are
telling
you
that
clearly.
So
if
it's
about
harmonization,
it's
going
to
happen,
staff
are
going
to
do
that,
but
I
guess
what
it
is
about
is
eroding
the
principle
underpinning
these
changes.
It's
political
nature
and
it's
very
clearly
a
delay
tactic.
H
It's
why
several
of
the
beat
resolve
Clauses
have
actually
weakened
the
HPT
hpds
within
that
motion.
It's
why
the
motion
speaks
to
q1
2024
instead
of
the
summer,
which
we
say
they
would
come
to.
Why?
Why
putting
Q
on
2024
then
and
so
I
guess
instead
of
you
know,
saying
let's
defer
or
pretend
that
this
somehow
builds
favor
with
the
province.
Who've
made
it
clear
its
Municipal
responsibility.
H
We
should
instead
be
saying,
let's
defer,
to
the
good
work
of
our
staff
team,
who
have
consulted
extensively
on
this
program
and
have
had
approval
of
the
public
and
stakeholder
on
this
and
have
made
changes
for
stakeholders
over
time
have
made
significant
changes
for
stakeholders
already,
let's
defer
to
the
good
work
of
our
committee
and
our
team
here
in
Ottawa.
This
is
about
Ottawa.
Let's
make
sure
that
we
build
favor
with
the
residents
of
our
city.
H
Let's
build
favor
with
them,
who
overwhelmingly
support
changes
at
the
build
face,
overwhelmingly
support
that
because
they
know
it
saves
them
money
over
time.
They
know
that
it
reduces
emissions
at
the
same
time
and
let's
end
up
supporting
our
city
on
this,
the
city
of
Ottawa
who's
done
extensive
work.
Our
staff
team-
that's
worked
for
years
on
this
policy,
only
to
have
a
last-minute
delay
tactic,
which
is
really
about
eroding
the
policy.
At
the
end
of
the
day.
That's
what
it
is,
and
so,
let's
not
buy
into
that.
That's
I
think
cynical
politics.
H
Let's
pass
the
good
work
that
our
team
has
done
here
in
Ottawa
they're
sitting
here
in
front
of
you
saying:
let's
pass
this
now
we'll
harmonize
the
changes
that
the
province
brings,
which
could
be
a
year,
could
be
two
years
for
all.
We
know
that
guidance
could
be
two
more
years
when
you
lose
that
time.
It
could
just
be
Guidance
with
the
legislature
coming
back
sometime
in
the
fall
potentially
passing
some
more
changes,
we're
going
to
come
back
with
building
code
changes
anyway
and
I
guess
to
staff
as
well.
H
We
come
we're
coming
back
on
potential
changes
that
we
see
as
the
program
program
on
on
roles
right,
we're
going
to
see
the
program
working
and
staff
are
bringing
us
back
to
committee.
It's
coming
back
to
committee
anyway,
based
on
the
changes
that
we're
seeing
and
how
it
works
within
that
first
year.
So
this
is
really
cynical.
This
motion,
I'm,
really
disappointed
I,
have
to
say
in
seeing
it
come
forward
so
late
without
any
consultation
with
the
public
whatsoever.
H
S
I
will
not
be
supporting
the
deferral
motion
and
I
I
strongly
urge
my
colleagues
to
to
join
all
voices
who
will
not
be
supported
into
deferral
motion.
As
the
Mover
of
the
motion
said
in
his
introduction,
the
industry
building
standards
are
shifting,
and
so
the
question
is:
why
are
they
shifting
they're
shifting?
Because
other
jurisdictions
are
leading
and
mandating
change?
They're
shifting?
Because
other
cities
are
leading,
we
have
an
opportunity
to
join
other
cities
in
being
leaders
on
this
front
and
it
feels
like
we
are
being
once
again
followers
worst.
S
S
S
So
who
is
going
to
fix
this?
If
not
us,
because
people
are
demanding
that
people
are
going
to
fix
this
they're
asking
whether
or
not
industry
will
fix
this
they're
asking
whether
or
not
non-profit
advocacy
groups
are
going
to
fix
this
they're
asking
whether
or
not
the
marketplace
is
going
to
fix
this
and
they're
asking
those
questions.
I
believe
because
they're
losing
faith
that
we
government
are
going
to
fix
this,
because,
unfortunately,
it
feels
like
we
are
pausing
pumping
the
bridge
on
exerting
the
political
will
to
fix
this.
But
my
college,
that's
our
job.
S
S
E
E
Let
me
remind
you
that
Ottawa
Community
Housing
has
participated
in
this
high
performance
development,
standard,
they're
developers
of
affordable
housing.
They
get
what
costs
are
and
they're
supporting
it,
because
they
understand
that
in
the
new
construction
projects
that
Ottawa
Community,
Housing
and
I'm
very
proud
to
be
the
chair,
we're
building
performance
standards
that
are
resulting
in
less
cost.
This
is
really
important.
E
We're
doing
it
now
we're
not
waiting.
This
is
this
is
crucial.
We
also
are
hearing
from
haido
Ottawa
and
they
get
it
too
to
reduce
costs.
We're
not
waiting
we're
doing
it
now.
I
I,
don't
have
faith
in
in
terms
of
the
timeline.
I
think
that
we
have
to
go
with
all
the
work
that
we've
done.
We
have
to
be
proactive
and
take
on
a
responsibility
as
a
municipality
and
take
it
seriously
and
not
wait
for
somebody
else
to
put
standards
on
us.
I
will
not
be
supporting
this
motion.
Thank
you.
T
Great,
thank
you
very
much
Mr
Mayor
and
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
this
discussion.
I
just
have
two
questions.
One
for
staff
and
one
for
the
Mover
of
the
motion
to
stuff
has
the
province
or
your
counterparts
at
the
Province
expressed
concern
with
us
implementing
these
standards
now
have
they
asked
us
to
delay
to
wait
till
they
come
forward
with
their
recommendation.
L
T
Sorry,
the
province
has
encouraged
the
city
to
proceed
with
implementing
today
it
could
ask
for
the
delay-
that's
interesting,
I
guess
to
the
Mover.
My
question
is
so
if
the
province
doesn't
come
back
by
summer
of
2023,
which
they've
given
us,
no
indication
that
that's
a
definite
is
your
intent
to
delay,
as
until
it
takes
them
to
come
back
or
regardless.
If
they
come
back
with,
you
know
their
standards.
Are
you
prepared
to
have
staff
bring
this
back
in
q1
of
2024,
so
I,
just
it's!
J
J
The
ministry
plans
to
update
its
online
on-site
site
plan,
guided
stir-flect,
Green
Building
standards,
early
23,
and
this
will
be
achieved
through
an
interim
building
code
amendment
by
the
summer
of
2023.,
so
I
acknowledge
that
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
about
it
may
be
well
into
the
future
and
such.
But
that
is
what
the
minister
himself
has
said.
T
L
T
T
B
Thank
you,
counselor
Bradley,
I'll,
just
add
as
a
as
a
point
of
information,
just
as
a
follow-up
to
what
councilor,
Bradley,
asked
and
and
spoke
of
I
did
receive
communication
from
the
Minister
of
Housing
and
Municipal
Affairs,
asking
asking
me
to
hang
on
so
to
wait.
So
I'm
not
sure
what
communication
was
received
from
Ministry
staff,
but
the
minister
himself
requested
of
me
that
we
wait
until
the
provincial
guidelines
were
in
place
before
we
proceeded
so
I'm.
Just
adding
that
as
a
point
of
information.
Okay,.
B
T
B
U
L
U
L
L
U
And
who
determines
when
they
notice
other
municipalities,
especially
in
Ontario,
is
it
the
city
manager?
Is
it?
Is
it
a
very
professional
State,
and
this
is
not
a
slight
at
staff
that
bring
forward
hey
guys?
We
should
really
look
at
this
and
press
on.
That
is
that
who
makes
that
determination,
because
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
more
of
these
things
in
the
future
and
I
want
to
ensure
we're,
always
you
know:
Leading
Edge,
not
15
years
behind.
L
U
U
L
Thanks
for
the
question
I'm,
certainly
not
aware
of
that
last
year,
when
this
came
forward,
goba
provided
a
letter
of
support
to
council
I
will
acknowledge
that
they
did.
I
still
have
concerns
with
the
with
the
program,
and
you
know,
concerns
about
potential
delay
on
processing
of
applications
and
review,
but
largely
they
were
supportive.
U
They've
certainly
been
involved
in
developing
the
standards
correct,
but
they
were
not
aware
of.
Let's
face
it.
The
provincial
government
coming
forward
saying
we're
going
to
lay
out
a
set
of
Standards
too
and
I
think
that's
what
the
game
changer
is,
and
they
are
fully
supportive.
I've
spoken
to
Jason
many
times.
J
Yeah
and
Mr
Mayor
there's
there's
a
bit
more
there's
some
Nuance
to
that
I
mean
there's
a
few
things
that
are
that
are
at
play
here.
We
do
know
that
the
Ontario
government
has
committed
to
harmonizing
the
Ontario
building
code
with
the
National
Building
Code
energy
tiers.
That
is
something
has
that
has
been
in
The
Works.
Industry
is
fully
aware
of
that.
Everyone
has
always
been
fully
aware
of
that
and
that
harmonization
is
anticipated
to
occur
by
no
later
than
March
of
2024
next
year.
J
The
most
significant
change
to
that
energy
to
your
modification
will
be
to
part
nine
buildings
which
are
smaller,
low-rise
buildings,
the
kind
of
missing
middle
stuff
that
we
see
there
with
lesser
changes
to
to
part
three-
and
those
are
things
that
we
know
an
industry
knows-
are
coming
we're
also
aware.
An
industry
is
well
aware
as
well
that
there
have
been
discussions
with
respect
to
improving
Energy
Efficiency,
currently
right
now.
J
Those
standards
that
are
in
the
hpds
are
set
at
25
greater
than
the
20
2017
Ontario
building
code,
so
those
will
be
still
higher
than
what
the
national
energy
code
tiers
will
be,
but
those
are
also
things
that
are
again
clearly
understood
and
known.
So
in
terms
of
surprises
or
changes
there,
there
has
been
a
long
signaling
that
there
are
changes
in
the
building
code
that
are
coming,
that
those
changes
are
going
to
be
coming
regardless
of
an
interim
measure.
J
U
Okay,
great
thank
you
for
that.
So
I
think
I
think
I've
heard
a
lot
of
words
solid
here
today
and
it's
a
little
frustrating
because
I
know
our
staff
have
done
a
tremendous
job
working
on
this.
It's
just
I
feel
we're
way
behind,
but
at
the
same
time
we're
caught
in
a
quandary
because
it's
a
battle
of
the
emergencies.
B
You
councilor
Tierney,
just
before
I,
go
back
to
counselor
Hill
to
wrap
up
on
this
I'll
just
make
a
couple
of
quick
comments
and
ask
one
question:
I
just
want
to
be
clear
that
I
support
the
the
high
performance
development
standards
and
my
goal
is
to
see
them
implemented.
I
did
receive
communication
from
the
minister
in
a
conversation
that
I
had
that.
The
that
his
preference
in
the
province's
preference
would
be
for
us
to
wait
until
the
summer
when
their
guidelines
are
introduced.
B
Before
we
proceed,
that's
not
the
only
consideration,
but
it
is
a
consideration
and
just
on
that
point,
I
Mr
herwire,
if
you
could
just
clarify
who,
in
the
ministry
you
heard
from
about
that
just
so
because
you
know
I
heard
one
thing.
You
obviously
heard
something
else
so
I
just
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
clarify
that.
L
B
B
I'm
hopeful
that
if
we
see
the
guidelines
from
The
Province
or
even
if
we
don't
that,
we
can
move
forward
as
quickly
as
possible
after
after
the
recommendations
in
the
motion
are
addressed
and
all
the
questions
are
answered.
So
that's
why
I
will
be
supporting
councilor
Hills
motion,
but
it's
not
because
I
don't
support
the
standards.
It's
not
because
I'm
trying
to
delay
or
or
prevent
this
from
happening.
B
J
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
bear
and
I
appreciate
the
the
discussion.
I
appreciate
the
work
that
was
done
by
staff
and
I'll.
Just
reiterate,
I
know,
I
said
it
in
my
opening,
but
I
don't
want
it
to
get
lost.
Certainly
I
personally
am
supportive
of
improving
our
green
building
code
standards
and
I
appreciate
Mr
Mayor
you
reinforcing
that
that
you
are
as
well.
The
intent
of
this
is
not
to
undermine
the
improved.
J
You
know,
building
code
standards
that
we're
going
to
be
seeing
in
the
city
of
Ottawa
the
current
High
hdps
program.
It
incorporates
processes
that,
as
it
is
currently
written,
it
will
increase
housing
costs
and
it
will
slow
down
Housing
Development
processes.
I
just
want
to
confirm,
perhaps
from
staff.
J
Do
we
have
an
estimate
of
the
per
housing
unit
cost
that
the
current
model
looks
to
to
to
impose
on
a
new
build
Mr
Mayor
Ford
developer,
who
is
fully
building
to
the
minimum
building
code
requirements
and
is
not
conducting
any
other
passive
measures
with
respect
to
Energy
Efficiency,
but
is
purely
Reliant
upon
a
mechanical
solution.
Those
costs
can
be
up
to
ten
thousand
dollars
per
unit.
J
Okay
and
and
so
that's
building
to
the
minimum
standard
that
we
would
be
talking
about
in
the
in
the
hdps
as
it's
written
right
now.
That
is
correct.
That
is
why
the
range
is
anywhere
between
one
percent
to
ten
percent
of
a
cost.
It
all
depends
upon
the
level
to
which
the
Builder
chooses
to
do
a
purely
mechanical
solution
or
whether
they
work
to
implement
other
means
of
providing
passive
energy
efficiencies,
and
when
you
speak
to
the
one
percent
to
ten
percent
sorry,
could
you
just
clarify
what
that
means?
10
percent!
J
That's
that's
what
I
mean
up
to
10
up
to
ten
thousand
dollars
for
someone
who
is
doing
a
minimally
code
compliant
so
so
I
would
like
to
clarify:
is
it
ten
thousand
dollars
per
unit
or
ten
percent?
It
is
it
again.
It
depends
upon
the
evaluation
of
the
unit.
There
was
a
material
that
was
circulated
to
council.
That's
part
of
that
part
of
that
package
that
did
provide
a
more
fulsome
cost
recovery.
J
The
said
Mr
Mr
Mayor,
that
information
was
included
in
a
fairly
detailed
appendix
that
was
provided.
I.
Don't
have
that
with
me
right
at
the
second,
but
those
cost
ranges
were
in
the
order
of
ten
thousand
dollars
for
someone
who
was
doing
a
minimally
code
compliant
building.
No,
thank
you
very
much
and
just
in
terms
of
delay
for
a.
A
H
J
I'll
continue
Mr.
No
thank
you
very
much.
The
I
guess
the
point
I'm
getting
at
there
is
there's
going
to
be
a
cost
increase
with
what's
written
here,
but
I
want
to
speak
also
to
the
process.
So
I
know
the
community
energy
plan
certification
process
is
a
component
of
the
existing
https
Pro
program.
Could
you
please
speak
to
the
the
two
times
that
that
would
be
incorporated
in
the
application
process
for
a
new
development
and
the
approximate
timeline
that
that
could
take
for
that
process
to
happen
so
Mr
Mayor?
J
Could
you
just
repeat
the
first
part
of
the
question?
Again
apologies.
My
understanding
is
that
there
is
a
a
requirement
for
additional
certification
that
would
be
required
as
a
part
of
the
https
program.
That
would
include
a
consultant
that
would
be
paid
by
the
developer
in
order
to
get
a
certification
of
those
energy
standards,
and
then
from
that
that
once
we
receive
that
application,
the
city
would
then
be
doing
its
own
independent
consultation
on
the
exact
same
process.
Is
that
a
correct
understanding
of
that
certification.
A
J
J
The
applicant
has
the
choice
of
three
different
mechanisms
by
which
to
achieve
those
industry
targets
they
can
either
achieve
total
energy
equivalent
units,
a
certain
threshold
of
that
they
can
achieve
20
25
greater
than
the
2017
Ontario
building
code,
or
they
can
also
go
for
one
of
the
certification
standards,
such
as
a
lead
or
or
energy
star.
So
there
are
different
Pathways
by
which
they
can
achieve
that.
These
third-party
review
process,
so
I'm.
B
V
B
B
J
Mr
Mayor,
so
there
will
be
an
increase
in
cost.
There
will
be
an
increase
in
process
and
to
be
clear-
and
you
know
to
be
clear
what
we've
seen
in
the
last
you
know,
20
years
is
a
fairly
substantive
Improvement
in
the
overall
building
quality
that
we've
seen
in
structures.
We've
heard
earlier
today
that
45
percent
of
emissions
come
from
our
structures,
but
that
includes
the
Kanata
wave
pool
that
includes
the
Walter
Baker
facility.
That
includes
buildings
that
were
built
in
the
70s
and
the
80s.
J
If
you
look
at
our
new
developments,
if
you
take
our
ZB
site,
for
example,
that's
a
site,
that's
been
built,
it's
got
sewage
waste
to
energy,
and
this
isn't
because
of
an
imposed
new
government
regulation.
This
is
because
Industries
moving
in
this
direction-
and
we
can
harmonize
with
that
through
our
high
performance
development
standards-
that
we
would
do
in
concert
with
provincial
green
standards.
J
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that,
because
it's
not
a
fair
statement
to
say
that
we're
not
moving
into
the
direction
of
having
Greener
building
code
standards.
We
are,
and
we
can
continue
to
do
that,
and
my
argument
is
if
we
wait
a
few
months,
we
can
do
this
in
concert
with
the
province,
and
this
is
not
a
significant
weight,
given
the
amount
of
time
that
we've
that
we've
been
looking
at
this
problem.
J
I
do
appreciate
the
effort
and
time
that
the
that
staff
has
put
into
to
doing
this
and
I
do
Envision
that
in
due
course,
we're
going
to
be
seeing
some
form
of
this
Pro
this
program
being
implemented.
It's
just.
It
makes
sense
to
me
that
we
would
do
this
once
as
a
collaborative
provincial
Municipal
entity.
That's
that's
looking
to
to
run
this
in
a
in
a
concerted
way,
as
opposed
to
the
municipal
government.
Moving
ahead
of
the
province,
so
Mr
Mayor
I,
would
encourage
you
know.
J
J
Y
Z
N
C
B
M
So
this
is
an
amendment
to
the
night
life
economy
action
plan.
So
where
is
The
Nightlife
economy
action
plan
has
identified
the
need
for
new
mid-sized
Performing
Arts
venues
in
Ottawa
through
extensive
consultation
with
industry
professionals,
including
local,
independent
Talent
buyers
and
promoters,
whereas
members
of
the
independent
local
industry
have
raised
concern
about
the
lack
of
financially
accessible
venues
in
Ottawa
and
whereas
recommendation
10
of
The
Nightlife
economy
action
plan
includes
opportunities
to
support
the
development
of
a
new
of
new
mid-sized
venues.
M
Six
through
ten,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
following
changes
be
made
to
The
Nightlife
economy
action
plan
under
recommendation
for
priority
actions,
replace
select
nightlife,
Ambassador
council
members
that
represent
nightlife
businesses,
key
organizations
and
residents
with
select
nightlife,
Ambassador
council
members
that
represent
ottawa's
independent
music
industry,
nightlife
businesses,
key
organizations
and
residents
and
under
recommendation
10
priority
actions
and
ensure
any
new
spaces
developed
to
promote
the
importance
of
being
financially
accessible
to
Independent,
ottawa-based
promoters
and
talent.
Buyers.
M
So
I
don't
need
to
tell
you.
We've
lost
a
lot
of
small
venues
in
Ottawa,
specifically
in
my
Warden
and
cancer
plants.
Ward
at
Mercury,
Lounge,
zafods,
Barrymore's
Babylon
is
now
a
dollar
store,
so
I
do
think
it's
really
exciting
to
have
this
nightlife
economy
action
plan.
It's
a
step
in
the
right
direction,
where
I'm
excited
to
to
support
the
spirit
of
the
plan,
but
we
want
to
protect
that
we
protect.
M
We
want
to
ensure
that
we
protect
the
independent
promoters
and
venues
that
have
been
here
for
decades
and
where
a
lot
of
artists
get
their
start.
So
independent
stages
like
live
on,
Elgin
House
of
targ
and
the
Brass
Monkey
are
where
many
artists
have
honed
their
skills
and
they'd
like
to
move
up
to
a
bigger
venue,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
accessible
to
them
not
only
do
independent,
bennies
and
promoters
provide
huge
cultural
benefits
to
the
city.
But
the
economic
case
is
very
clear.
M
A
study
by
the
Chicago
Loop
Academy
found
that
for
every
dollar
spent
on
a
ticket
for
a
show
at
an
independent
venue,
12
in
local
economic
activity
is
created.
So
this
amendment
is
simply
intended
to
ensure
that
independent
and
smaller
music
promoters
get
a
chance
to
benefit
from
our
investment
in
in
our
nightlife
and
to
ensure
that
if
City
money
goes
towards
building
amid
size
venue
or
any
tax
breaks
or
other
incentives
that
these
performers
get
a
chance
to
take
the
stage.
Thank
you
very
much.
E
A
lot
of
this
activity
and
the
whole
focus
is
tourism
and
been
making
money,
which
is
you
know
something
that
has
to
be
done,
but
I
am
concerned
about
youth.
There
is
very
few
activities
for
youth,
as
we've
seen
in
unsanctioned
events
that
are
popping
up
in
places
like
Britannia
and
even
Mooney's
Bay.
E
It's
it's
there's
a
gap.
There's
there's
an
there's,
something
that
we
need
to
do
in
terms
of
offering
more.
For
for
youth.
We
need
non-alcoholic
events,
we
need
things
that
go
into
the
night,
and
this
is
something
that
I'm
concerned
about
for
both
Youth
and
families.
There
are
things
in
Montreal
such
as
the
night
ride
that
they
have.
They
have
a
bicycle
ride
at
night.
Everyone
wears
tons
of
lights
and
goes
goes
around.
E
I
want
to
make
sure
that
families
are
included
and
youth
have
a
role
right
now.
I've
had
discussions
with
boys
and
girls
club
well
BG
Ottawa,
as
it's
called
now,
and
they
would
love
to
do
more
events
at
night,
but
their
funding
is
very
limited,
and
this
is
when
youth
want
to
play
basketball
want
to
do
things.
E
E
These
things
happen
because
you've
got
a
lot
of
bored
people
around
and
we're
not
looking
at
the
issue
at
all
we're
focusing
on
on
on
the
the
the
financial
side,
the
economic
side
and
and
it
has
its
place,
but
if
we
don't
do
something
with
our
growing
youth
population,
we're
we're
we're
going
to
have
more
problems.
We
need
to
look
at
this
as
a
preventative
as
a
positive
and
so
I'm
asking
that
this
be
a
focus
of
our
plan
as
well.
Thank
you.
Z
Yeah,
thank
you
so
much
I
listened
very
intently
to
the
discussion,
Around
The
Nightlife
economy.
Obviously
this
affects
my
ward
to
a
very
large
extent,
but
I
just
want
to
reiterate
what
I
said
in
committee
today,
which
is
The.
Nightlife
economy
could
not
be
sustained
without
a
lot
of
Frontline
essential
workers,
whether
that
be
waitresses.
Z
Women
who
work
in
retail
people
who
work
in
hotels,
police
officers,
ambulances,
nurses
and
I
really
hope
that,
as
we
look
at
a
nightlife
strategy,
we
consider
them
in
these
discussions
in
something
like
a
24-hour
daycare
would
be
really
helpful
in
helping
them
keep
some
sort
of
work
life
balance,
because
we
know
that
you
know
they
have
personal
lives
as
well
and
helping
them
achieve
their
full
potential
would
be
really
helpful
and
I
appreciate
very
much
this
report.
Thank
you
so
much.
K
V
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
for
the
question.
The
the
motion
before
you
from
councilor
troster
I
think
is
really
it's.
It's
well
framed
to
ensure
that
any
investment
that's
made
in
mid-sized
venues
creates
opportunity
for
local
Independent
Artists
to
access
those
facilities.
I
think
it's
important
to
understand
that
a
private
sector
developer
of
a
venue
will
have
a
business
pro
forma
and
we'll
have
an
approach
to
business,
and
certainly
the
city
may
be
able
to
communicate
certain
preferences.
K
Foreign,
so
I
think
the
answer
is
yes,
that
staff
believe
this
provides
greater
Clarity
as
far
as
the
intentions
and
and
embrace
it
and
I.
My
next
question
was:
are
we
missing
anyone
else?
Are
we
missing
any
other
group
that
could
be
included
with
this
new
nightlife
action
plan
that
we
want
to
ensure
is
not
left
out,
because
I
would
hope
that
the
staff
motioned
before
us
is
all-encompassing,
that
it
is
not
exclusive
of
anyone?
V
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
certainly
is
not
the
intention
of
staff
to
exclude
any
group
from
participating
in
the
implementation
of
The
Nightlife
economy
action
plan
we
are
not
opposed.
Staff
is
not
opposed
to
the
counselor's
motion.
Clearly,
the
music
industry
is
a
vital
stakeholder
in
the
implementation
of
The
Nightlife
economy.
V
Action
plan
and,
frankly,
would
be
at
the
table
anyway,
as
part
of
the
Ambassador
Council
that
will
be
developed
by
The
Nightlife
commissioner
office
in
in
due
course
in
2024,
but
the
principles
of
inclusivity
and
diversity
and
opportunity
are
well
embedded
in
the
action
plan,
and
the
counselor
should
feel
comfortable.
That
staff
is
well
aware
of
this.
K
Thank
you
at
committee
staff
confirmed
that
adopting
the
recommendation
before
us.
The
the
staff
recommendation
does
not
commit
the
city
to
a
financial
contribution
to
a
small
venue
and
I
just
want
to
confirm
at
this
stage.
That
is
still
correct.
That
is
correct.
Okay,
my
last
Point
mayor
is
the
part.
K
Three
of
the
motion
of
the
staff
motion
says
that
a
report
comes
back
to
fedco,
but
the
outcomes
of
the
action
plan
by
the
end
of
Q4
2026-
that
is
the
end
of
the
term
of
this
Council
and
I,
want
to
make
sure
that
we
receive
this
report.
While
this
council
is
still
serving
its
mandate,
that
is,
it
doesn't
come
after
this
term
of
council
ends.
Can
I
receive
a
commitment
from
staff
that
we
will
receive
that
report
before
this
term
of
council
ends.
V
Q
Thank
you,
I'm,
going
to
do
the
thing
that
you're
not
supposed
to
do
and
ask
a
question:
I,
don't
know
the
answer
to,
but
I
actually
don't
know.
The
answer
to
this
I
believe
there
was
a
like
an
arts
and
culture
strategy
that
we
also
had
that
sort
of
lapsed
a
while
back
and
I
and
I
want
to
understand
how
this
nightlife
economy
action
plan
relates
to
you
know
our
ongoing
interest
and
investments
in
the
arts
and
culture
sector
sector.
Pardon
me.
V
Thank
you
for
the
question
Mr
Mayor.
There
has
been
a
lot
of
tremendous
work
done
with
our
colleagues
in
rcfs
related
to
arts
and
culture,
including
an
arts
and
culture
strategy
which
I'm
not
equipped
to
speak
to
directly
and
perhaps
Mr
chanye.
Would
care
to
speak
to
I
will
say,
though,
that
our
colleagues
in
rcfs
were
engaged
throughout
the
entire
process
of
developing
The
Nightlife
action
economy
plan
and
that
we're
certainly
not
working
in
isolation
from
any
work
that
may
be
going
on
with
our
culture.
Colleagues,
in
rcfs.
X
X
Q
Okay,
yes,
because
you
know
the
Arts
and
Heritage
culture
policy,
World
extends
far
beyond
the
more
downtown
Wards
and
so
I'm
not
really
I
want
to
be
sure
that
we're
not
voting
to
support
something
that
we'll
end
up
drawing
from
or
absorbing
resources
that
could
be
applied
across
the
city
more
broadly,
even
though
I
understand
the
market
is
you
know
a
great
tourism
industry
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
I
just
want
to
understand
what
we're
voting
on
today
and
how
much
is
this
plan
going
to
cost
this
this
nighttime
economy
action
plan?
V
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
The,
Nightlife
economy
action
plan
contains
10
recommendations.
The
first
three
recommendations
are
for
implementation
in
2023,
with
an
existing
staff
and
budgetary
resources
and
with
the
development
and
implementation
of
The
Nightlife
commissioner
office
in
2024
recommendations.
V
Four
through
ten
will
be
handled.
Through
The
Nightlife,
commissioner
office.
There
is
currently
no
budget
attached
to
any
of
those
actions.
Many
of
them
are
advocacy
related
working
cooperatively,
with
Partners,
pulling
together
information
and
and
partners
and
stakeholders
around
tables
to
sort
of
move
forward
in
a
coordinated
way.
In
the
event,
there
were
any
budget
implications
on
a
go
forward.
They
would
come
through
the
normal
budget
process,
annual
budget
process
or
accommodated
within
the
existing
Economic
Development
budget
envelope
and.
Q
I
and
I
wonder,
then
you
know
what
what
what
in
the
in
the
governance
structure
of
it
all
the
the
nighttime
commissioner,
what
if
they
make
recommendations
that
have
implications
across
other
committees,
because
I
know
when
we
were
at
the
community
and
Social
Services
committee
budget
meeting
or
budget
2023
meeting
we
had
I,
don't
know
if
it
was
25
delegations
from
business
owners
in
the
market
area
that
were
all
crying
out
for
supports
for
housing
in
the
opioid
crisis.
So
as
much
as
I.
Q
Imagine
that
you
know
governmental
intervention
here
from
the
top
down
is
going
to
solve
for
XYZ
I
want
to
understand
that
if
the,
if
the
pain
points
for
why
people
want
don't
want
to
go
to
the
market
which
are
related
to
safety
and
perceive
Safety
and
Security.
If,
if
those
are
are
going
to
be
addressed,
does
The
Nightlife,
commissioner,
have
the
opportunity
to
to
make
suggestions
for
future
budgetary
commitments.
V
In
2023
we'll
develop
the
the
framework
of
responsibility
and
and
sort
of
the,
what
we'll
sort
of
stand
up
and
outline
for
the
office
in
2023
for
implementation
in
2024,
as
it's
presently
conceived,
The
Nightlife
commissioner
office
will
be
a
business
line
of
economic
development
services
under
the
leadership
of
planning,
real
estate
and
economic
development.
So
it's
an
internal
office.
It
is
not
external
to
the
city.
V
So
clearly
the
opportunity
to
engage
with
you
know
cross-departmentally,
as
well
as
with
external
Partners,
would
be
very
similar
to
the
posture
we
have
already
in
economic
development
services.
One
of
the
key
deliverables
in
the
action
plan
is
the
development
of
a
Safety
and
Security
program,
working
in
collaboration
with
Ops
oph,
nightlife,
Security,
Experts
and
and
other
stakeholders,
so
to
speak
specifically
to
your
point
around
dealing
with
some
root
causes
and
barriers
to
people
engaging
in
a
positive
way
with
the
nightlife.
V
V
My
note
and
comment
about
the
Safety
and
Security
plan
isn't
about
an
enforcement
strategy.
It's
about
creating
an
environment
where
people
who
work
at
night
experience
the
night
and
manage
the
night
can
coexist
in
a
safe
and
responsible
way.
Clearly,
we
wouldn't
stand
up
a
table
around
developing
that
strategy
without
engaging
with
our
emergency
and
protective
services
department
and
with
Ops,
but
also
with
oph
and
and
others,
to
try
and
deal
constructively
with
those
barriers
that
you
are
identifying.
Q
Y
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
worship.
I
can
say:
I
was
lying
awake
at
night
last
night
in
bed.
Thinking
about
the
nightmare
position,
and
my
question
was
already
asked
and
answered
by
my
colleague
and
staff
have
indicated
they
don't
have
a
full
costing
for
the
role
or
the
office
that's
to
be
created,
but
perhaps
they
have
information
as
to
what
other
jurisdictions
pay
for
the
role
in
the
office.
V
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
for
the
question.
I
can't
speak
specifically
to
how
other
jurisdictions
are
currently
paying
for
this
position
as
we
work
through
the
next
six
months
and
establishing
that
that
framework,
we
will
have
more
information
in
that
regard,
but
would
not
want
to
speculate
on
what
that
number
looks
like
today.
But
to
be
clear,
we
are
looking
to
fund
one
full-time
position,
so
we
use
nightlife
commissioner
office,
but
we
are
funding
one
position.
Y
And
I
can
appreciate
that.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
answer.
I
think
we
absolutely
have
a
role
as
a
city
in
this
I'm
supportive
of
the
plan
overall,
but
I,
don't
think
hiring.
Another
bureaucrat
is
the
best
way
to
do
it.
I
think
Private,
Industry
and
business,
or
best
positioned
to
continue
their
advocacy
efforts
without
having
to
create
this
role.
Y
So
I'll
support
the
plan,
your
worship,
but,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
it's
incumbent
on
industry
to
work
with
us
on
reducing
barriers,
cutting
red
tape
and
creating
the
favorable
conditions
for
business
to
do
what
they
do
best
and
that's
grow
the
economy,
but
certainly
I,
think
Ottawa
is
only
big
enough
for
one
mayor.
Thank
you
very
much.
G
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
excited
that
this
is
moving
forward.
There
is
a
an
important
role
to
be
played
by
a
bureaucrat
in
our
nightlife
as
Matt
and
I
can
attest
from
some
of
our
experience
around
music
over
the
last
two
terms
of
council.
There's
a
lot
of
help
that
the
industry
needs
from
the
city,
bureaucracy
and
I'm
thinking
about
some
of
the
phone
calls.
G
We
fielded
around
helping
navigate
noise
issues,
helping
to
navigate
a
festival,
garbage
issues,
helping
to
navigate
zoning
issues,
helping
to
navigate
sometimes
with
with
police
and
and
issues
around
policing
and
over
policing.
The
noise
complaints
I'm
I'm
really
pleased
that
the
music
strategy
is
going
to
be
succeeded
by
a
broader
nightlife
strategy,
something
that
takes
into
account
that
you
know
the
Entertainment
Tonight
goes
beyond
just
music.
G
There's
food,
there's
festivals,
there's
theater,
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
we
could
be
encouraging
to
help
people
and
enjoy
their
nighttimes
in
the
city
and
right
across
the
city.
I've
noticed
that
some
of
the
discussion,
Around
The
Nightlife
strategy,
has
tended
to
focus
on
byword
market
and
I.
Think
a
lot
of
our
thoughts
go
there.
But
if
we
take
a
look
at
some
of
the
successes
of
the
music
strategy,
you
know
your
bias
were
hosting
concerts
in
in
the
local
spaces
and
making
use
of
non-traditional
music
venues.
G
I
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
around
security
in
the
the
security
plan
that
The
Nightlife,
commissioner
is
going
to
come
up
with.
There
are
things
that
go
well
beyond
just
sort
of
policing
the
market
that
we
need
to
take
into
account.
I
think
one
of
the
successes
of
the
music
strategy,
for
example,
was
baking
in
a
sexual
assault.
Training
for
festival
volunteer
at
festivals,
and
we
can
certainly
broaden
that
even
further.
G
So
all
of
this
is
really
exciting
and
even
if
you've
never
been
to
the
market
for
nightlife
I
think
you
should
be
excited
about
this
plan,
because
I
think
it's
going
to
make
for
a
more
vibrant,
Bar.
Haven,
a
more
vibrant
Orleans,
a
more
vibrant
Westborough
and
kitchen
sippy
Ward
I
will
just
note
one
of
the
big
successes.
I.
Think
of
the
music
strategy.
G
Was
the
we've
successfully
achieved
a
capital
Music
Awards
and
I
just
want
to
note
that
on
June
1st
at
the
Bronson
Center,
the
capital
Music
Awards
will
be
held
and
for
album
of
the
Year
Pony
girl,
Amanda,
rayon,
Yao,
Alana,
Sterling,
Angelique,
Francis
and
fatal
vision
will
be
competing
for
that
prize.
So
we've
got
some
amazing
talents
in
this
city.
G
S
So
having
been
a
I
I
was
and
hope
to
still
continue
one
day
to
be
a
practicing
member
of
the
non-profit,
Performing
Arts
sector,
which
has
always
played
a
vital
role
in
contributing
to
the
vibrancy
of
a
city.
But
what
I
also
so
from
having
grown
up
in
Montreal
and
spent
time
in
Vancouver
those
cities
both
had
vibrant
nighttime
arts
and
culture
sectors
and
in
very
specific
instances
in
Vancouver
when
they
had
the
Olympics
I,
can't
remember
exactly
when
and
in
Ottawa.
S
My
question
is
for
the
successful
implementation
of
this
program
and,
if,
knowing
that
having
the
Arts
play,
a
vital
role
in
it
is
key
to
its
success.
Is
there
the
opportunity
now
or
in
the
2024
budget,
to
designate
specifically
targeted,
Project
funding
from
the
city
so
that
our
non-profit,
Performing
Arts
sector
can
be
an
active
and
paid
proponent
of
this
strategy?.
V
S
Can
I
ask
the
follow-up
if
it
was
not
cons?
If,
if
it's
not
part
of
the
plan
now
and
so
I'm,
going
to
assume
that
the
strategy
would
love
to
see
people
going
to
festivals?
You
know
way
past
normal
hours
or
oh,
my
gosh
a
play
happening
in
a
bakery
at
three
in
the
morning.
I'll
go
see
that
and
I
can
assume
that
the
city
would
like
those
to
be
professionally
pay.
People
doing
that
as
because
those
will
be
our
residents
contributing
to
this
economy.
S
X
I
think
if
that
starts
to
be
reflected
in
the
applications
that
come
forward,
that
we
can
make
some
headways
under
the
existing
policy,
and
we
can
certainly
take
away
as
as
part
of
the
cultural
plan
and
the
review
of
funding,
making
sure
that
the
nightlife
aspect
to
this
is
is
well
reflected
in
future
iterations.
Thank
you
and.
S
S
I
can
only
apply
for
two
project
grants
per
year:
I'm
not
going
to
take
a
risk
on
my
one
grand
to
do
a
3
pm
show,
but
if
they
offered
me
more
money,
heck
I'll,
do
it
so
I
hope
that
it
can
be
contemplated
for
a
future
funding
Cycles,
because
it
will
I
I
guarantee
you.
It
will
lead
to
the
success
of
of
your
goals.
Thank
you.

It's
important
to
name
the
ongoing
violence
that
members
of
the
2s
lgbtq,
plus
Community
experience
every
day
and,
as
many
of
you
may
know,
attacks
against
our
community
have
been
increasing,
whether
it's
at
a
story
time
in
the
library
or
at
a
school
board
meeting.
So
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
affirm
our
commitment
to
equality
and
to
justice
for
the
2s
lgbtq
community.
B
E
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Mayor
and
I
appreciate
the
consultation
I've
had
with
with
the
city
staff
on
this
I'm
going
to
read
the
motion,
because
I
think
we
were
probably
not
aware
of
this,
whereas
the
government
of
Ontario
has
put
forward
Bill
98
the
better
schools
and
outcomes
act
which
includes
a
section
and
schedule
two
on
the
disposal
of
surplus,
School
properties
and
whereas
schools
are
fundamental
part
of
the
fabric
of
a
community
serving
not
only
to
educate
children
but
as
a
center
for
after-school
community
activities.
E
Meeting
places
providing
Green
Space
and
sports
Fields,
including
outdoor
Community
ranks
Etc.
Whereas
the
current
provincial
procedure
for
a
school
board
to
dispose
of
a
closed
school
is
to
offer
it
to
its
co-term
Municipal
board.
Then
to
municipality
then
to
the
provincial
government
and
then
to
the
federal
government
before
selling
it
on
the
open
market.
E
If
the
property
is
not
needed
to
meet
current
or
future
pupil,
accommodation
needs
of
the
board,
whereas
this
provision
would
eliminate
the
ability
of
the
municipality
to
obtain
a
closed
School
site
to
meet.
Community
new
needs
therefore
be
resolved
that
the
city
of
Ottawa
indicate
to
the
minister
of
education
and
to
the
Ontario
legislator.
Its
interest
in
having
municipalities
retain
the
ability
to
obtain
a
closed
School
site
before
it
goes
on
the
open
market
and
further
resolved
that
the
Ottawa
area
mpps
and
the
association
of
municipalities
of
Ontario
be
informed
of
the
city's
position.
E
In
this
regard,
and
as
you're
aware,
we
were
not
consulted
on
this,
but
this
is
very
important
for
us
to
to
keep
this.
This
is
part
of
community
communities,
especially
on
inner
urban
areas
where,
if
a
school
closes,
this
is
very
valuable
space
that
fits
very
much
into
our
official
plan
of
using
for
green
space
and
possibly
even
affordable
housing.
So
and
I
want
to
thank
my
my
colleague,
councilor
King,
for
secreting
this
motion.
Thank
you.
Thank.
K
K
And
as
a
former
school
trustee,
I
can
tell
you
that
the
public
is
very
concerned
when
a
school
closes
and
the
site
is
deemed
Surplus
to
its
needs,
because
they
would
like
to
see
a
public
asset
remain
in
public
hands
that
there
are
many
different
uses
that
that
public
facility
could
be
used
for
and
the
public
wants
to
make
sure
that
all
levels
of
government
at
least
have
an
equal
opportunity
to
review
their
needs
before
they
say.
No,
thank
you
and
what
this
bill
does.
K
It
takes
municipalities
out
of
that
equation
and
I
can
cite
examples
within
my
own
Ward,
where
we've
used
closed
facilities
for
Community
use
before
a
final
decision
was
made
and
put
to
good
use
in
that
regard.
So
I
support
the
motion
before
us.
I
do
think
municipality
still
need
an
opportunity
to
consider
acquiring
a
surplus
site
if
it
doesn't,
then
at
least
we've
had
that
opportunity
and
it
can
then
go
on
the
open
market,
but
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
speak
up
and
let
the
province
know
where
we
stand
on
this
matter.
P
O
Mr
Mayor
I
just
have
a
few
questions.
I
mean
honestly.
My
memory
of
the
school
board
was
that
if
a
site
wanted
to
be
disposed
of,
it
was
offered
to
other
school
boards
for
a
dollar,
but
when
it's
offered
to
so
the
school
boards
all
say
no
and
then,
if
it
comes
to
the
city,
it's
not
for
a
dollar
right.
It's
a
fair
market
value.
O
We
would
the
city
would
have
to
buy
it
at
fair
market
value
from
the
school
board.
Correct,
yeah,
I'm,
honestly
trying
to
wrap
my
head
around
why
the
province
is
doing
this
I
mean
they're
trying
to
keep
education,
money
and
education.
I
guess
I
mean
you
think
about.
We
sold
a
site
for
21
million
dollars
once
and
it
was
huge.
Then
we
were
able
to
build
more
schools.
We
sold
another
site
for
150
000
bucks,
which
was
like
nothing
for
a
seven
acre
school
elementary
school
I
mean
it
was
pathetic.
O
What
do
we
do
with
that?
Nothing
so
I,
just
what
is
the
province
trying
to
do
here?
That
I
understand
I
understand
what
councilor
Kavanaugh
is
trying
to
say
here
that
we
would
want
it
for
Green,
Space,
potentially
building.
We
want
to
have
a
say,
but
if
we
were
to
be
offered
it
still,
we
still
have
to
buy
it
for
a
lot
of
money.
O
O
Oh,
what
which
way
shall
I
go
but
I
understand
I,
just
try
to
figure
out
what
the
province
is
trying
to
do
this.
If
we
were
still
be
able
to.
If
we
were
able
to
take
the
sites,
we
would
just
get
them
potentially
for
less
money.
School
Board
would
get
less
money,
but
right
now
we're
cut
out
of
it
entirely.
So
we
want
to
at
least
say
we
don't
want
to
be
cut
out
of
it
entirely.
B
C
W
D
D
First
posterity's
sake,
whereas
the
costs
of
the
tree
planted
in
Fall
2022
will
be
paid
by
return,
whereas
planned
to
hold
an
event
at
40,
Corbett
Street
to
officially
celebrate
this
commemoration
in
Spring
2023,
be
it
resolved
that
the
city
council
approved
the
installation
of
a
plague
at
40,
Coburn
Street,
on
land
belonging
to
the
city
of
Ottawa,
to
celebrate
the
25th
anniversary
of
retreatane,
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
plague
reads:
25th
anniversary
1997-2022
in
both
official
languages.
Thank
you
very
much
for
concert.
Kavana
for
supporting
this
motion
considered
us.
AA

Whereas
many
Canadian
cities
have
taken
up
the
annual
challenge
of
encouraging
promotional
physical
activity,
whereas
the
city
of
Ottawa
offers
a
multitude
of
recreation
and
Leisure
programming
and
promotes
active
and
healthy
living
through
a
number
of
initiatives,
whereas
the
city
has
previously
offered
an
incentive
to
Residents
to
embrace
physical
activity

by
providing
two-for-one

And
many
of
these
cities
are
currently
using
various
Technologies,
such
as,
but
not
limited
to
incineration
and
other
waste
diversion
methods
that
convert
waste
to
energy
and
whereas
it
is
prudent
for
the
city
of
Ottawa
to
address
the
long-term,
solid
waste
needs
of
our
city,
that
both
benefit
residents,
taxpayers
and
the
environment.
And
whereas
there
are
numerous
examples
of
modern,
efficient
and
environmentally
friendly
waste
to
Energy
Technologies,
which
reduce
pollutants
and
which
generate
heat
and
electricity.

And
she
had
further
resolved
that
staff
conduct
a
request
for
interest
to
determine
which
companies
would
be
interested
in
partnering
with
the
city
of

to
test

prove

of
their
