City Council

Andrew S. Haydon Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, and by electronic participation
A
A
We're
just
going
to
let
these
sit
for
a
few
minutes
while
we
prepare
the
rest
of
our
ingredients.
So
of
course
we
want
some
great
toppings
I've
got
some
roasted
sunflower
seeds
here,
I've
done
this
with
pumpkin
seeds
with
chopped
walnuts.
Anything
Crunchy
just
to
offset
the
tender
vegetables
is
great
and
I,
always
like
a
pop
of
color.
So,
as
you
may
know,
my
go-to's
are
always
chives
or
green
onion.
A
A
And
although
the
vegetables
are
seasoned,
they're
going
to
be
even
better
with
a
little
bit
of
dressing
on
top,
so
just
a
simple
vinaigrette
with
rice,
vinegar,
apple,
cider,
vinegar
would
be
great
as
well.
Some
more
of
the
smoked
paprika
to
Echo
the
notes
that
are
already
there
from
The
Roasting
and
salt
and
pepper.
A
B
C
B
I
really
didn't
appreciate
how
versatile
squash
are
until
I
started,
purchasing
them
regularly
at
local
farmers
markets,
there's
so
many
different
varieties,
each
with
distinctive
flavors
and
up
next
I'm
going
to
show
you
how
easy
it
is
to
quickly
pan
fry
sliced
butternut
squash
for
a
super
tasty
side
dish
on
Thursday's
daytime
Ottawa
Joe
Calabro
from
his
fabulous
Italian
pastry
shop.
I
was
going
to
tell
you
the
name
but
I'm
going
to
wait
for
Joe
to
share
it
because
he
says
it's
so
beautifully.
B
It's
right
down
there
in
Little
Italy
he's
going
to
share
some
fabulous
fabulous
things
that
they
have
to
offer.
We'll
also
tell
you
how
you
can
help
yourself
get
around
the
February
Blas
I
know.
Some
of
us
are
lacking
a
little
bit
of
energy.
Well
we're
going
to
bring
the
energy
up
all
that
more
on
Thursday.
B
B
Butternut
squash
is
so
versatile.
I
do
cook
it
a
lot,
but
I'd
never
tried
pan
frying
it
until
recently,
I
usually
oven
roast.
It
I'm
really
happy
with
this
method,
so
we've
already
cut
the
bulb
and
off
the
squash.
It's
just
a
little
tiny
bit
soft
here
where
the
seeds
were,
but
we're
just
going
to
work
with
this
part.
For
now
the
bulb
end
can
easily
be
chopped
up
and
roasted
added
to
soups,
whatever
I.
B
Never
let
that
go
to
waste
and
we're
looking
for
uniform
rounds,
I'm
going
to
cut
them
about
maybe
a
quarter
of
an
inch
thick
foreign,
and
you
should
always
have
quite
a
firm
vegetable
if
it's
soft.
That
means
it's
probably
starting
to
spoil
and
contrary
to
what
you
might
think.
It
is
a
good
idea
to
keep
butternut
squash
in
the
fridge
if
you're,
storing
it
for
a
week
or
more,
preferably
in
a
low
humidity
drawer.
B
It's
about
a
tablespoon
and
a
half
and
then
we're
going
to
add
the
butter
second
and
there's
an
important
reason
for
that.
If
you
put
butter
straight
in
the
pan
on
its
own,
it
doesn't
do
well
under
high
heat,
it's
going
to
Brown
or
burn.
But
if
you
put
the
butter
in
some
olive
oil,
the
olive
oil
seems
to
insulate
the
butter
and
it
prevents
that
burning
situation.
B
B
B
One
of
the
reasons
I
love
butternut
squash
is
the
color.
If
you
have
a
plate,
that's
kind
of
pale
with
say,
for
example,
chicken
and
maybe
you're
going
to
have
some
potatoes
with
it
all
of
a
sudden.
You've
got
this
great
big
pop
of
color
and
I.
Think
that's
just
great.
Now
we're
going
to
put
some
more
salt
and
pepper
on
the
other
sides.
B
D
Thank
you
on
the
next
fit
over
50.
Come
join
me
for
a
high
intensity
interval,
training,
cardio
workout.
Yes,
it
does
sound
challenging
and
it
is,
but
it's
also
a
lot
of
fun
looking
forward
to
seeing
you,
then,
as
the
fighting
continues
in
Ukraine,
thousands
of
people
are
fleeing
for
their
lives,
forced
to
leave
everything
behind
you
can
help
them.

Contributions
to
this
land,
this
Friday
February
24th
marks
a
very
significant
and
tragic
anniversary,
the
one-year
anniversary
of
the
invasion
of
Ukraine
by
Russian
forces.
It
is
a
critical
and
important
reminder
that
while
we
have
been
carrying
on
our
normal
lives,
the
Ukrainian
people
have
been
facing
Terror
and
suffering
for
an
entire
year.

A
minute
of
Silence
happens,
the
people
of
Ottawa
city
council
will
commemorate
the
first
anniversary
of
the
invasion
of
Ukraine,
with
a
minute
of
Silence

Invite
those
who
can
stand
to
please
do
so
and
I
ask
that
you
keep
the
people
of
Ukraine
in
your
minds
and
in
your
hearts
as
we
reflect
on
the
victims
of
this
brutal
and
senseless
War.
B
J
B
The
Ukrainian
people
and
armed
forces
are
courageously
defending
their
country
in
a
war
where
tens
of
thousands
of
people
have
been
killed
and
millions
have
been
displaced
from
their
homes.
The
Ambassador
today
shared
with
me
some
incredible
stories
of
the
amazing
resilience
of
the
Ukrainian
people
and
the
hard
work
of
their
elected.
K
Ukrainian
Society
is
defined
by
a
love
of
freedom
and
democracy
and
we
have
all
been
inspired
by
the
honoree,
the
honor
and
bravery
of
the
citizens,
the
soldiers
and
leaders
of
Ukraine,
the
people
of
Ottawa
stand
with
Ukraine
and
support
the
Ukrainian
people's
right
to
Independence
freedom
and
self-determination.
We
stand
in.
B
And
honor
the
victims,
the
city
of
Ottawa
and
city
council,
condemn
the
crimes
against
humanity
and
the
acts
of
genocide
committed
by
Russia
plant
will
bring
forward.
Emotional
Council
today
condemn
the
aggression
and
honor
the
victims.
The
city
of
Ottawa
and
city
council
condemn
the
crimes
against
humanity
and
acts
of
genocide
committed
by
Russia.
B
B
L
One
of
our
closest
friend,
Ally
and
partner,
as
we
are
facing
the
21st
of
February,
that
will
be
one
year
since
Russia,
brutally
invaded
into
my
country,
bringing
a
lot
of
pain
to
all
of
our
people,
killing
a
lot
of
innocent
people,
but
also
bringing
the
world
the
understanding.
What
is
the
resilience
is,
what
is
the
Ukrainian
resilience?
L
What
is
what
are
those
values
that
we
all
took
for
many
years
for
granted,
peace,
security,
human
rights
and
the
rule-based
Order
of
the
world
that
sometimes
we
a
bit
of
underestimate,
and
we
to
the
ukrainians
fighting
against
this
brutal
aggression?
We
are
paying
the
highest
price
for
these
values,
the
price
of
all
of
our
ukrainians.
L
M
A
basement
underground
for
the
protection,
those
people
who
were
walking
on
the
streets
to
their
offices.
They
are
moving
to
the
subway
stations
that
almost
for
a
year
were
turned
to
be
as
the
Brazilian
hubs,
the
places
where
people
can
hide
and
the
places
where
people
can
stay
when
the
Russia
is
hitting
our
cities.
M
B
Power
station
in
the
city,
the
Syrian
is
still
here,
but
the
Emergency
Services,
whether
this
is
firefighters,
ambulances,
doctors,
electricity,
Engineers.
They
are
already
going
to
these
places
and
they
start
to
put
the
water
on
the
fire.
They
start
to
fix
all
the
infrastructure
that
have
been
hit
because
for
cave
and
for
many
other
cities
in
Ukraine
to
restore
the
normal
life
of
ukrainians
as
quickly
as
possible.
B
K
Have
no
water
had
no
Heating
and
the
city
council
is
launching
the
resilient
hubs,
but
the
people
can
get
warm.
The
people
can
get
food.
The
people
can
get
access
to
the
internet,
because
the
information
for
the
people
in
the
wartime
is
most
the
precious
asset
to
know
what
is
happening
with
their
beloved
ones,
with
their
families.
N
The
challenges
for
Ukrainian
municipalities
are
immense
because
they
are
on
the
ground
and
they
are
the
ones
who
are
protecting
their
cities
and
their
communities
from
the
very
first
hours
of
the
invasion
and
keep
on
doing
this
to
serve
their
people,
and
many
of
them
got
their
friends
from
around
the
world
and
being
here
today.
I
also
would
like
to
introduce
Ottawa.
K
Would
also
kindly
ask
you
to
consider
supporting
some
of
Ukrainian
municipalities,
whether
it's
the
school
buses,
where
it's
ambulances,
whether
it's
fire
brigades
and
the
equipments
for
them,
because
they
are
the
ones
who
are
addressing
these
big
challenges.
And
this
support
is
mostly
needed
now
to
try
to
keep
the
life
of
the
people
a
bit
of
easier.
If
that
could
be
easier
during
the
work
time
and
I'm
very
grateful
for
you.
I'm
grateful
for
the
warm
welcoming
of
many
ukrainians
who
are
fleeing
the
war
and
they
arrived.
B
Russian
invasion
to
Ottawa
and
warm
welcoming
for
them.
I
would
also
like
to
thank
you
for
your
gesture
of
solidarity
and
flying
Ukrainian
flag
near
the
city
council
in
in
Ottawa,
and
also
naming
the
some
place
in
north
of
them
how
it
should
be
named,
and
thank
you
for
that,
and
it's
my
big
honor
to
be
with
you
today
and
was
my
closing
remarks.
I
would
like
to
urge
you
to
to
keep
supporting
Ukraine.
B

Thank
you
again
to
the
Ambassador
and
to
the
many
representatives
of
the
Ukrainian
Community,
who
are
here
with
us
today.
You
will
continue
to
have
our
support
before
we
go
any
further.
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
to
thank

after
the
explosion
that
occurred
in
her

I
P
Q
We
did
not
receive
any
regrets,
although
I
I
note
that
councilor
Brockington
is
not
with
us
today.
Let's
move
to
the
motion
to
introduce
reports.
Councilor
Menard,
it's
very
much
mayor
that
the
report

the
Police
Services
Board
entitled
board
activity,
training
and
performance

The
reports
from
the
city
clerk
entitled.
B
K
K
B
M
Received
then
received
all
right
item
13.2,
we
will
hold
item
13.3.
Is
the
auditor
General's
report
on
the
auto
Police
Service
in
the
auto
Police
Service
Board
Convoy
response
that
Council

the
following
reports?
Is
that
carried

under
build
Heritage

designation
of
former

dignity

during
power?
Outages-
and
this
is
a
committee
recommendation-
is
that
carried.
M
M
One
of
its
final
report
entitled
what
we
heard
with
part
two
of
the
report
anticipated
to
be
released
in
March
2023,
which
will
offer
further
analysis
and
recommendations
for
action
and
where's.
The
city's
archives
is
already
building
a
historical
file
on
these
events
and
we'll
include
these
Community
generated
reports
as
part
of
that
historical
context,
and
whereas
these
documents
and
the
diverse
perspectives
they
reflect
are
also
a
value
to.
R
Learned
from
this
period
in
the
city
of
ottawa's
History,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
final
reports
from
the
Ottawa
people's
Commission
on
the
Convoy
occupation
be
posted
publicly.
Alongside
the
city's
response
to
the
public
order,
emergency
Commission
on
the
disclosure
of
executed
contracts.
M
Thank
you,
counselor
Gower,
a
motion
is
seconded
by
councilor
troster
counselor
troster.
Thank
you
so
much
mayor
I
want
to
thank
councilor
Gower
for
putting
this
motion
forward.
For
those
who
don't
know
the
Ottawa
people's
commission
into
the
Convoy
occupation
focused
exclusively
on
the
experience
of
residence
and
spoke
to
and
heard
from
more
than
200
people.
So,
whereas
the
other
inquiries
into
the
Convoy
took
a
look
at
operational,
Services
police
response,
you
know
a
broader
range
of
perspectives.
M
P
P
P
Municipalities
such
as
Clarence,
Rocklin,
Toronto,
Markham,
Saga,
Oshawa
and
Waterloo
adopted
amps,
and
one
of
the
benefits
of
the
system
is
that
it
enables
bylaw
officers
to
send
parking
tickets
by
mail
to
the
vehicle
licensed
plate
owners.
Last
known
address
in
lieu
of
physically
handling
a
ticket
out
in
person,
the
city
of
Ottawa
has
not
yet
adopted
amps,
as
there
are
other
effective
mechanisms
in
place
to
keep
cases
out
of
the
provincial
courts.
T
And
so
I
guess
the
the
question
to
staff
is
really
what
what
is
the
plan
for
the
city
of
Ottawa
to
look
at
amp
PSB
being
implemented
here?
Is
it
a
desired
function
for
for
the
city
and
through
bylaw,
Services
I
know,
we've
had
trouble
with
following
up
on
bylaw
complaints
in
the
courts?
Often
these
get
thrown
out,
and
so
would
this
allow
us
some
more
flexibility,
as
other
municipalities
are
doing
across
the
province.
B
Lot
more
Administration
and
a
lot
more
resources
to
administer.
However,
that
being
said,
it's
something
that
was
brought
up
through
the
audit
as
a
recommendation
and
we
are
taking
it
seriously
and
we
will
be
reviewing
it
and
bringing
it
back
to
a
committee
and
Council
for
approval,
depending
on
what
the
recommendations
are.
Okay
is
that
is
that
part
of
the
the
bylaw
review
that
it.
U
Item
that
would
come
to
committee
I,
don't
see
it
as
the
bylaw
review
process
as
part
of
the
biology
okay
review
process.
Sorry,
okay,
just
to
say
I,
think
I.
Think
there's
a
lot
of
advantages
to
the
system
for
the
city
and
as
I
say
that
there's
I
think
a
lot
of
counselors
know
that
often
these
bylaw
tickets
in
when
you
go.
H
V
Allow
for
a
system
where
bio
officers
are
safer
being
able
to
use
a
license
plate
as
we
do
with
other
ticket
ticketing
systems
in
the
city
so
fully
in
support
of
that
work
and
hope
this
does
come
back
for
some
changes
this
term.
Thank
you,
mayor
and
Mr
Mayor.
If
I
may,
for
clarity,
it
is
being
reviewed
by
service,
Ottawa
and
and
it
would
be
brought
up
through
their
respective
committees
with
regards
to
recommendations,
not
Epps
thanks.
So
much.
V
M
M
Yeah,
it's
not
the
greatest
audio.
Is
this
a
little
bit
better?
Mr
Mayor?
Yes,
that's
great!
Thank
you,
perfect
colleagues.
I
do
apologize,
I'm,
trying
to
troubleshoot
a
technical
issue,
Mr
Mayor,
if
it's
acceptable

M
Be
sent
to
the
premiere
of
Ontario,
the
Ontario
minister
of
energy
and
the
association
of
municipalities
of
Ontario,
so
Mr,
Mayor
and
Council
colleagues
I
appreciate
the
collaborative
effort
shown
by
many,
certainly
through
staff
and
hydro
Ottawa.
This
motion
has
been
under
the
work
progress
through
my
office
and
counselor
Kelly's,
along
with
staff
since
early
December.
So
many
positive
and
fruitful
conversations,
the
intent
of
this
motion
is
to
ensure,
as
Ottawa
moves
forward
with
its
energy
Evolution
plan
and
climate
change
master
plan
that
we
fully
account
for
energy
generation
infrastructure
and
the
associated
infrastructure.
M
M
It
made
sense
to
ensure
that
they
had
a
carved
out
piece
to
ensure
that
those
programs
and
projects
that
they
have
coming
online
aren't
hindered
through
any
additional
zoning
that
may
come
forward
and
that
we
recognize,
as
those
single
shareholders
there's
inherent
value
in
assisting
them
move
forward.
The
other
positive
piece
to
this
motion
is
asking,
or
rather
directing
staff
to
engage
with
Hydro
Ottawa
in
the
development
of
these
updated
zoning
regulations.
M
There
are
in-house
experts,
if
you
will,
and
so
it
just
makes
sense
to
ensure
that
we
include
them
in
these
discussions
as
we
move
forward
and
Mr
Conrad,
who
I've
spoken
to
several
times,
has
indicated
that
I
am
able
to
express
Hydro
ottawa's
support
for
this
motion.
So
with
that
Mr
Mayor,
if
there
are
any
questions
from
our
Council
colleagues,
I
look
forward
to
receiving
them.
M
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you.
Councilor
Brown
I
do
want
to
thank
councilor
Brown
for
the
good
discussions
that
we've
had
over
the
the
past
day
or
so
to
help
me
understand
better
what
this
motion
is
and
and
what
it
is
not
I,
don't
have
any
fundamental
concerns
with
it
at
this
point,
but
I
do
want
to
ask
our
staff
for
their
comments
on
the
implications
of
this
motion.
M
W
W
W
W
Mr,
Mayor
and
I
think
this
will
be
a
first
step
towards
making
the
relationship
more
clear
and
not
to
say
that
there
won't
be
more
conversations
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
very
clear
but
I
really
want
to
thank
councilor
Brown
for
all
the
leg
work.
He
did
on
this
to
make
sure
that
this
was
part
of
this
motion.
Thank
you.
W
Thank
you.
Counselor

B
U
Thanks
so
much
mayor,
so
as
we
all
know,
the
workforce
has
significantly
changed
in
the
last
three
years,
even
with
a
federal
mandate
for
public
sector
workers
to
return
to
work
a
couple
of
days
a
week,
nine
to
five
five
day
a
week.
Commuter
traffic
is
not
likely
to
return
anytime
soon
to
the
downtown
core,
and
that
represents
a
loss
on
a
daily
basis
of
about
80
to
100
000
people
that
were
customers
for
many
of
the
businesses,
particularly
in
the
north
part
of
Centertown
and
I.
Believe.
U
The
most
up-to-date
statistic
is
that
about
13
of
office
space
in
downtown
Ottawa
is
now
not
being
used.
So
the
obvious
question
is:
what
can
we
do
with
those
buildings
and
to
create
great
spaces
for
people?
We
need
more
people
to
live
in
our
downtown
core
and
I
can
tell
you
from
talking
to
Residents.
B
K
A
A
lot
of
email
about
this
in
my
office
there's
a
huge
interest
in
business
to
residential
conversions
as
a
part
of
downtown
revitalization.
There
are
a
couple
really
interesting
projects
that
are
already
happening.
One
of
them
is
on
Albert
Street
by
clv
group
called
the
Slate
I
recommend
that
you
go
take
a
tour
they've
converted
a
former
office
building
where
I
believe
Council
Carr
used
to
work
into
housing
and
Cornerstone
housing
for
women
received
money
from
the
rapid
Housing
Initiative
to
transform
a
former
office
building
on
Eccles
into
Supportive
Housing,
which
is
very
exciting.
A
So
the
entire
intent
between
this
motion
is
just
to
create
a
working
group.
So
we
can
take
a
look
at
what
we
can
do
as
a
city
to
to
encourage
conversions,
they're,
expensive,
they're
hard,
but
I
do
think
that
it's
worth
exploring
and
I
know
that
the
development
Community
has
already
started
coming
to
us
with
some
suggestions
about
policy
levers
that
could
make
this
easier
and
I'm
also
really
grateful
that
this
motion
has
some
language
in
about
the
need
for
at
least
20,
affordable
housing.
I
think
there's
a
huge
opportunity
to
take
a
look
at.
A
What's
being
done
in
other
parts
of
the
country
and
around
the
world,
and
to
try
and
build
more
housing,
well
convert
more
housing
in
the
downtown
core,
the
building's
already
standing
there.
So
thank
you
very
much
mayor
for
supporting
this
motion
and
I
hope
we
can
all
get
behind
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Councilor
truster,
councilor
Johnson.
A
A
So
my
understanding
is
that
the
federal
government
is
committing
to
do
an
inventory
of
unused
buildings
in
the
downtown
core
and
to
work
with
the
city
to
try
and
figure
out
how
they
can
be
repurposed
in
a
way
that
works
for
the
downtown.
So
this
is
very
much
in
line
with
the
tasks
for
strategy,
and
this
is
sort
of
an
exploratory
piece
to
figure
out
what
we
can
do
in
the
city
side.
A
But
our
federal
partners
are
certainly
at
the
table
having
conversations
about
this,
so
it
all
comes
together,
but
it's
it's
more
for
us
to
take
a
look
at
what
are
the
city
level
policy
levers
that
can
help
us
make
this
happen?
Okay.
Well,
thank
you
for
that
clarification.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
not
doubling
up
on
efforts
and-
and
you
know,
putting
staff
resources
to
something
that's
being
executed
elsewhere.
Thank
you.
A
A
Thanks
for
the
question,
Mr
Mayor,
the
in
terms
of
a
SWAT
team,
as
as
counselor
troster
noted,
we
have
had
one
application,
that's
gone
through
the
process
and
we
have
a
couple
more
in
the
pipes.
So
we've
we've
learned
some
issues
through
that
process.
So
it's
really
getting
building
code
development,
review
staff
together
to
prioritize
and
apply
any
Lessons
Learned
on
the
previous
application.
So
it's
not
a
it's,
not
an
extensive
Endeavor.
A
A
A
I'll
I'll
speak
to
the
development
charge
component
and
perhaps
Cyril
you
want
to
weigh
in
on
the
assessment
side
of
things.
So
certainly
what
we've
seen
through
a
couple
of
these
development
charges
paid
are
higher
on
the
commercial
side,
so
there's
a
credit
applied
to
any
conversion
to
residential.
So
there's
no
development
charge
Revenue,
except
for
the
educational
provincially
mandated
charge.
The
assessed,
assessed,
value
and
taxes
paid
would
would
be
a
function
of
you
know
the
value
of
the
property
and
I
defer
to
Wendy.
A
Thank
you,
Don
I
think.
The
difference
here
would
be.
We
collect
a
payment
in
lieu
of
Taxation
on
these
properties.
Currently,
the
city
retains
the
education
portion
of
that,
as
well
as
the
commercial
taxes,
so
if
they
were
converted
to
residential
when
you
look
at
the
tax
rates
just
a
little
bit
lower,
but
it
would
depend
on
what
the
assessed
value
is
so
really
too
soon
to
actually
say
what
the
impact
would
be.
A
A
A
A
Well,
it's
it's
already
been
introduced,
so
you
don't
have
to
read
it
again,
but
no
I
just
wanted
to
thank
everybody
who
came
today
to
listen
to
the
singing
Who,

yourself
to
the
ambassadors.
It
really
means
a
lot
to
the
Ukraine

included,
not
Ukrainian.
My
husband
is
to
see
the
support
from
Council
today,
if
you're

afterwards,
there
will
be

your

X

What
Ukrainian
people
are
feeling
today
and
every
day
in
the
last
year,
I
grew
up
in
the
war
zone
and
I
understand
living
in
shelters,
very
access,
small
access
to
electricity
and
water,
we're
very
fortunate
to
be
living
here
in
Canada
that
we
appreciated
day
in
and
day
out,
I
just
want
to
feel
how
strongly
I
feel
about
seconding
emotion,
our
prayers
and
thoughts,
not
in
the
last
year,
but
every
day
to
moving
forward
with
European
and
people.
So
I
know
most
of
counselors
here
work
with
our
community.
X

Thank
you
very
much
mayor
I'm,
happy
to
bring
this
motion
forward

Declaration
of
international
women's
day
for
the
first
time
in

new

Affairs
International
women's
day
draws
on
a
long
history
of
feminist
activism
and
advocacy,
but
there's
a
few
issues
I
wanted
to
highlight,
while
Canada
recovers
from
the
covid-19
pandemic,
women
have
still
been
left
behind
in
a
lot
of
the
economic
recovery.
At
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
many
more
women
than
men
left
the
labor
force
and
their
participation.
X
Our
participation
in
the
labor
force
has
not
recovered
in
Ontario
Twice,
as
many
women
as
men
work
in
low-wage
sectors
and
generally
have
a
lot
more
precarity.
So
lack
of
job
stability,
women,
who
are
over
55
they've,
been
effectively
forced
out
of
the
labor
force
in
Greater
number
members
through
a
combination
of
illness,
increased
caregiving
responsibilities
and
oftentimes
the
accumulated
stress
of
working
in
essential
Services
during
the
pandemic.
X
Working
mothers
have
seen
a
significant
drop
in
employment,
with
employment,
for
single
mothers,
dropping
36
percent
from
free
pandemic
levels
and
with
economic
precarity
comes
so
many
other
kinds
of
precarity.
The
housing
crisis
impacts
a
huge
range
of
people,
but
women
and
2s
lgbtq
plus
people
feel
the
impacts
more
acutely.
X
X
I
know
that
this
Council
stands
behind
the
urgent
need
to
create
as
much
affordable
housing
as
possible
services
that
help
level
inequality
and
I'm
very
proud
to
introduce
this
motion
today
and
I
also
look
forward
to
the
mayor's
breakfast
on
International
women's
day
and
I
hope
you
can
all
make
it.
Thank
you.

Thank
you
as
the
first

gender
Equity,
I'm
really
proud
to
that.
Counselor
troster
is
now
taking
it
on
and
appreciate
all
the
work.
There
is
so
much
work
to
be
done
and
I
wanted
to
give
a
shout
out
to
former
counselor
Deans
who
got
this
started
and
worked
very,
very
hard
on
these
issues.
X
Unfortunately,
we
still
have
a
long
way
to
go
in
our
city
and
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
the
city
is
focusing
on
gender
equity
and
is
making
it
a
priority
and
I
hope
to
continue
to
see
that
so,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
know
that
this
has
been
worked
on
for
years
and
we
still
have
a
long
way
to
go.
Thank
you.
X
X
Some
of
you
may
have
heard
of
the
inquiry
that
happened
in
a
community
very
close
to
us
in
Renfrew
Ontario
after
Carol
cullerton,
Anastasia,
kuzik
and
Natalie,
a
warmer
Den
were
murdered
on
the
same
day
by
the
same
former
partner.
There
was
an
inquest
that
concluded
in
June
of
last
year
and
it
includes
recommendations
to
combat
intimate
partner
violence.
So
this
motion
is
intended
as
a
response
to
that
inquest
and
to
encourage
other
municipalities
to
address
the
recommendation,
so
we're
really
taking
the
lead
from
the
county
of
Renfrew
and
this.
X
The
request
for
emotion
of
this
nature
came
from
organizations
that
address
intimate
partner,
violence
and
violence
against
women
in
Ottawa.
So
I
will
just
read
the
motion
to
get
it
on
the
record,
whereas
Renford
County
delivered
86
recommendations
in
a
unanimous
verdict
on
the
deaths
of
three
local
women
who
were
killed
by
their
former
partner
on
a
single
morning
in
2015.
And
whereas
these
86
recommendations
speak
to
oversight
and
accountability,
system
approaches,
collaboration
and
communication
funding,
Education
and
Training
measures
addressing
perpetrators
of
intimate
partner,
violence,
intervention
and
safety.

context
of
such
cases,
and
to
what
extent
does
the
city
practice
align
with
emerging
principles,
including,
for
example,
the
Canadian
bar
association's.
B
H
H
Cindy
Tran
of
the
Canadian
press
always
Cindy.
First,
maybe
we'll
randomize
this
honestly.
It
would
help
me
a
little
bit,
but
my
questions
are
going
to
be
in
regards
to
the
public
order.
Emergency
commission
and
the
first
one
is
to
you
Mr
Mayor.
So
one
of
the
recommendations
was
contemplating
expanding
the
role
for
the
Parliamentary
Protective
Services
to
include
Wellington,
Street
and
I,
wanted
to
maybe
hear
your
thoughts
on
maybe
what
specific
actions
the
city
is
taking
and
do
you
agree
with
that
recommendation
about
the
PPS
I've.
B
If
there
are,
for
example,
break-ins
or
are
there
other
events,
there's
still
the
the
Police
Service
that
would
have
to
respond
to
those.
So
it
doesn't
really
change
the
workload
for
the
Ottawa
Police
Service,
and
if
there
are
demonstrations
in
downtown
Ottawa,
quite
often
as
we've
seen
in
recent
weeks,
they
will
start
on
Wellington
or
on
Parliament
Hill
and
then
they'll
move
to
another
part
of
the
city
or
vice
versa.
So
the
same
level
of
coordination
and
and
work
has
to
be
done.
So
the
first
point
that
I'll
make
is
it.
B
It
doesn't
change
a
whole
lot.
If
you
move
the
line
between
the
Parliamentary,
Precinct
and
and
the
jurisdiction
of
the
city
of
Ottawa,
it
doesn't
change
a
whole
lot
if
you
move
the
line,
but
we're
open
to
having
those
conversations
with
the
federal
government
and
and
and
there's
there's
a
lot
to
discuss
there
in
terms
of
the
future
Wellington
Street,
and
so
those
those
conversations
are
continuing
and
we're
open
to
whatever
will
provide
the
most
Safety
and
Security
for
the
people
of
Ottawa
excellent
and
going
back
to
I
guess.
B
B
We're
going
through
the
reports
and
and
staff
are,
are
looking
at
every
recommendation
and
and
and
they'll
be
coming
back
with
their
thoughts
and
and
will
make
decisions
on
how
we'll
we'll
move
those
recommendations
forward.
But
there
hasn't
you
know
there.
We
don't
have
anything
new
to
reports
since
Friday,
except
that
the
process
is
underway.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
B
H
It
lots
of
things
you're
checking
off,
maybe
not
some
others.
Maybe
if
you
can
discuss
what
your
first
hundred
days
has
been
like
the
things
you've
achieved
the
things,
maybe
that's
going
to
take
a
little
longer
on
a
point
of
order.
I
think
technically,
a
hundred
days
is
tomorrow.
So
that's
correct,
I
apologize,
February
23rd,
so
so
we're
we're
still.
You
know
it's
day,
99,
there's
a
lot
of
times,
still
lots
of
time
to
get
things
done,
I'm
very
happy
with
how
the
first
hundred
days
is
gone.
H
First
and
foremost,
I'm
really
pleased
with
the
level
of
collaboration.
That's
been
happening
with
with
city,
council
and
and
I.
Think.
That's
that's
something
that
was
expected
of
us.
I
heard
a
lot
about
it
during
the
election
campaign
that
people
felt
there
was
some
dysfunction
during
the
last
couple
of
years
at
city,
council
and
I
made
it
a
priority
to
engage
with
all
the
city,
councilors
and
I'm
grateful
for
their
collaboration
and
cooperation
and
the
efforts
at
consensus
building
over
the
last
three
months.
So
I'm
very
pleased
about
that.
H
I.
Think
if
you
look
at
the
list
of
commitments
that
we
made
during
the
campaign
for
the
first
hundred
days,
we're
doing
pretty
well
on
that
list,
most
of
the
most
of
the
issues
are
or
most
of
the
objectives
are,
are
either
have
been
achieved
or
they're
underway.
The
process
is
underway
to
achieving.
X
Them
a
lot
of
them
obviously
are
tied
to
the
budget
which
we
look
forward
to
debating
next
Wednesday,
but
I'm
pleased
with
with
how
it's
gone
in
the
first
hundred
days.
It's
been
busy
and
there
have
been
quite
a
few
surprises
and-
and
you
know,
we've
been
spending
time,
responding
to
inquiries
and
and
reports
and
other
events,
but
in
spite
of
that,
I
think
we've
gotten
a
lot
done
in
the
first
in
the
first
hundred
days.
It's
not
my
follow-up
follow-up.
X
What
is
like,
what's
been
the
most
surprising
thing
to
you
in
your
first
few
months
here,
the
most
surprising
thing
is
the
number
of
times
I
get
asked.
What's
the
most
surprising
thing?
That's
that's
happened,
honestly.
Everybody
everybody
asks
me
that
question.
What's
the
most
surprising
thing,
there
have
not
been
a
lot
of
surprises:
I've
I've
been
following
city
council
for
for
30
years
and
and
so
so
I
know
I
know
you
know,
I
knew
what
I
was
getting
into
I.
X
X
X
Put
that
on
you
put
that
part
on
hold
waiting
for
that
report,
but
that
you
would
perhaps
go
back
to
audit
and
and
look
at
Look
at
police
operations
if
you
thought
that
was
necessary
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
you've
had
a
chance
to
think
about
that.
Yet
thank
you
for
your
question.
Joanne,
obviously
I
can't
say
I
know
all
2000
Pages
intimately.
X
That
being
said,
I'm
very
comfortable
with
the
scope
that
we
did
take
I
would
say
our
three
audits
seem
to
complement
very
well
the
public
order,
emergency
commission
report,
the
areas
that
we
didn't
touch
upon
when
it
comes
to
the
police
service,
that
I
was
hoping
would
be
answered,
I
believe
have
been.
They
did
dive
into
the
planning
and
preparation
of
the
Ottawa
Police
Services.
They
dove
into
intelligence,
gathering
usage
and
sharing
and
I
think
those
pieces
were
very,
very
key
and
there
seems
to
be
some
very
fulsome
recommendations
in
that
area.
X
X
X
X
X
X
X
X
X
X
So,
just
before
the
election,
this
was
referenced
earlier.
You
did
release
a
list
of
priorities
for
the
first
100
days
and
two
of
those
items
on
there
were
initiate
plans
for
a
storefront
neighborhood
operations
center
in
the
byword
market
and
review
the
Mandate
and
operations
of
the
city
services
corporation.
That
runs
the
Byron
market
and
begin
the
process
of
making
the
buyer
Market
a
Crown
Jewel
of
the
city
that
is
safe,
clean
and
welcoming.
X
When
you
speak
to
what,
if
anything,
you've
done
on
these
two
priority
items-
and
you
know
if
you
haven't
achieved
the
progress
that
you
had
intended
to.
Why
not
in
simple
terms,
the
conversations
have
begun.
Those
are
long-term
objectives
and-
and
my
goal
in
the
first
hundred
days
was
to
get
the
process
started
and
I
think
we've
done
that
and
we're
having
the
conversations
that
will
lead
to
the
outcomes
we
need
on
on
both
those
issues.
X
So
I've
I've
had
a
couple
of
conversations
with
the
police
chief
and
and
with
others
about
about
what
it
will
take
to
establish
an
operations
center
in
the
byword
market
and
what
else
would
be
included
in
that
I've
spoken
with
the
community
and
Social
Services
Department
about
that
as
well,
and
there
are
other
conversations
that
are
underway
about
some
of
the
other
parts
of
of
the
solution.
So
I
don't
think
anybody
was
expecting
and
certainly
I
wasn't
committing
to
getting
it
all
done
in
the
first
hundred
days.
X
But
getting
the
process
started
and
that's
that's
what
we've
been
working
on
and
what
about
that
mandate?
Review
of
the
the
the
corporation
that
runs
the
byword
market.
Have
you
have
you
started
any
work
on
that
one?
So
we
we've
started
to
talk
about
the
future
of
the
byword
market
at
a
broad
level
and
and
there's
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
people.
There
are
a
lot
of
stakeholders
in
that
discussion.
So
we'll
continue
to
have
those
conversations.
It's
really
important
that
we
we
get.
X
We
get
the
byword
market
back
to
what
it
was
before.
We
have
the
200th
anniversary
of
the
byword
market
coming
up
in
a
few
years
and
I
think
I've
spoken
with
a
lot
of
business
owners
and
many
residents
of
the
byward
market
and
and
people
who
visit
the
byword
market
on
a
regular
basis
and
people
who
have
stopped
visiting
the
byword
market
on
a
regular
basis
and
I
think
everybody
wants
the
same
thing,
which
is
to
restore
the
byword
market
to
a
safe
and
attractive
place
to
visit.
X
There's
still
lots
of
people
visiting
lots
of
activities
there,
but
I
think
we
know
it
can
be.
It
can
be
even
better
and
so
we've
started
the
work
on
that.
We've
started
the
the
the
discussions
and
consultations
and
there's
a
lot
more.
That
needs
to
be
done
in
the
days
ahead.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
Taylor
Canada.
X
X
X
X
So
it
was,
it
was
difficult
to
you
know
to
see
the
contrast
between
what
the
people
of
Ukraine
are
experiencing
and
and
the
the
comfort
and
safety
of
life
in
Ottawa,
so
I
hope
that
we
can
do
more
for
the
people
of
Ukraine
and
I
had
a
great
conversation
with
the
Ambassador
prior
to
us.
Coming
to
the
council
meeting
about
a
couple
of
things
that
that
we
might
be
able
to
do.
X
X
X
X
So,
let's
see
if
you
have
under
the
same
roof,
you
can
share
your
bus
pass.
So,
let's
see
if
one
of
the
partner
Works
in
during
daytime
the
other
one
can
use
a
bus
passing
at
night
time
with
the
team
we're
trying
to
find
other
Solutions
to
improve
loyalty
of
the
workers,
even
though
they're
coming
only
a
few
days
a
week
downtown.
So
we
will
have
new
initiatives.
