B
A
All
right,
I'm
going
to
put
these
in
the
bowl
and
then
I'll
cut
the
last
one
and
we
were
speaking
about
tomato
gardening.
The
my
favorite
variety
to
grow
for
dishes
like
this
is
one
called
Brandywine.
It's
similar
to
what
people
call
beef
steak
tomatoes
and
they
can
be
huge
and
they're,
so
so
so
flavorful.

As
we
begin
our
meeting
today
and
on
behalf
of
Ottawa
city
council
I
wish
to
acknowledge
that
Ottawa
is
built
on
unseated
anishinaabe,
Algonquin
territory.
The
peoples
of
the
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
peoples
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.
E
You
so
much
mayor,
as
many
of
you
know,
June
was
pride
month
in
Canada
and
around
the
world,
which
is
a
time
for
the
2s
lgbtq
plus
Community,
to
celebrate
who
we
are
and
how
we
love.
I
came
out
more
than
25
years
ago,
but
I
need
to
tell
you
that
this
pride
month
was
particularly
heavy
for
our
community
in
Ottawa.
E
We're
seeing
a
rise
in
hate
here
in
Canada
and
across
the
world.
A
couple
of
weeks
ago,
at
the
University
of
Waterloo,
a
professor
of
gender
studies
was
stabbed
after
an
assailant,
entered
the
classroom
and
asked
what
subject
she
was
teaching
here
in
Ottawa
earlier
in
June
I,
along
with
counselors
leaper
and
Johnson,
attended
a
counter
demonstration
in
support
of
the
queer
and
trans
community
in
front
of
a
number
of
schools
in
Westborough
schools
that
were
chosen
by
anti-trans
protesters
intent
on
targeting
children.
E
Three
young
people
assaulted
and
robbed
someone
while
uttering
transphobic
and
homophobic
slurs.
Community
members
are
now
being
called
to
continually
protect
Pride
events
and
family
programming
directed
to
kids
from
queer
and
trans
families
like
mine.
This
is
all
happening
as
the
rise
of
disinformation
is
continuing.
Unfettered
speaking
personally,
as
an
out
queer
City
councilor
I'm,
constantly
being
bombarded
with
comments
that
accuse
me
of
horrendous
acts,
a
direct
attempt
to
cast
false
aspersions
on
queer
and
trans
people
and
push
us
out
of
public
life.
E
I
was
not
able
to
be
at
the
press
conference,
but
I
want
to
acknowledge
counselors,
King
and
Johnson
for
speaking
out
as
allies
so
powerfully.
We
need
all
of
us
in
the
struggle
against
hate.
I
refuse
to
accept
that
my
daughter
is
growing
up
in
a
climate
that
could
be
less
safe
for
her,
based
on
the
identity
of
her
parents
or
her
own
gender
identity
or
sexual
orientation.
E
So
because
this
is
the
last
council
meeting
before
Capital
Pride
here
in
Ottawa,
which
we
celebrate
at
the
end
of
August
August
19th
to
27th
I
wanted
to
invite
you
to
join
me
at
Pride.
Ottawa
Public
Health
is
going
to
have
a
float,
so
please
join
us
to
help
celebrate
the
2s
lgbtq
plus
community
and
to
send
a
strong
statement
that
the
city
of
Ottawa
will
not
stand
for
hatred
of
any
kind.
Thank
you.
I
J
K
Counselor
Steve
Davis
declare
a
potential
deemed

pecuniary
interest

we
will

technical
Amendment
for

classical

D
M
Whereas
the
report
recommends
amending
the
city
of
Ottawa
zoning
by
law
to
permit
a
20-story
apartment,
building
on
the
Eastern
portion
of
Tuan,
Fria
Street
and
whereas
Clarity
is
required
for
where
one
lot
for
zoning
purposes
is
to
be
affected
and
whereas
a
holding
symbol
on
a
land
shown
in
as
area
a
and
document,
one
appears
in
document
one
but
is
absent.
From
document.
M
C
A
plant
so
is
the
motion.
The
technical
Amendment
motion
is
that
carried
and
the
bylaw
Amendment
as
amended,
is
that
carriage

bylaw
is
that
carriage
item
17
is
the
Transit
Commission
report,
17.1
Capital

and
closing

projects
is
that
carriage
all
right.
Moving
to
the
bulk
consent
agenda,
counselor
de
Raj
declared
his
conflict
on
item
18.2.1.
So
let's,
let's
vote
on
that.
C
First,
this
is
the
donation
of
the
decommissioned
ambulance
to
St
John
Ambulance.
Is
that
carried
and
related
to
that
I
have
a
a
direction
to
the
clerk's
office
that
this
item
be
shared
with
the
association
of
municipalities
and
other
Ontario
municipalities
for
information,
along
with
a
motion
approved
by
Council
on
June
14th
to
donate
a
decommissioned
ambulance
to
the
Embassy
of
Ukraine
all
right.
C
C
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
C
B
C
C
All
right
everyone
we're
going
to
resume
and
for
the
benefit
of
members
of
the
public
Ottawa
city
council
just
met
in-camera
pursuant
to
the
procedure
by
law
by
law,
number
2022-410,
subsection,
13,
1e
litigation
or
potential
litigation
affecting
the
city
and
subsection
131f,
the
receiving
of
advice
that
is
subject
to
solicitor
client
privilege,
including
Communications,
necessary
for
that
purpose.
Council
received
a
briefing
on
light
rail,
Transit
legal
update.
During
the
closed
session,
no
votes
were
taken
other
than
procedural
motions
and
or
directions
to
staff.
C
So
we
will
move
on
with
our
agenda
now
and
move
to
item
11,
which
is
the
11.1,
which
is
the
proposed
2023-20
to
2026
term
of
council
priorities,
and
there
are
a
number
of
motions.
So
I
would
suggest
that
we
introduce
the
various
motions
and
then
we
can
have
discussion
and
debate
about
the
tournament
Council
priorities.
So
I
will
start
with
the
motion
from
concierge
plant.
If
you're
ready
go
see
up
plant.
M
We
thank
you
so
much
Mr,
Mayor
I'm,
just
going
to
pull
up
my
notes,
Here
so
part
of
the
portion
of
my
motion
is
regarding
the
access
to
high
quality,
affordable
and
inclusive,
licensed
Child
Care
spaces
across
the
city,
especially
when
it
comes
to
new
immigrants.
Indigenous
families
still
support
parents,
which
is
essentially
single
moms
and
families
with
low
income
in
children
with
special
needs.
M
The
city
of
Ottawa
has
a
bilingualism,
policing
policy
governing
several
aspects
of
Municipal
activity,
noticing
the
proactive
delivery
of
services
in
both
French
and
English,
having
access
to
French
language,
child
care
and
earlier
Services
is
critical
for
francophone
families
in
Ottawa,
as
it
develops
a
sense
of
belonging,
Fosters
Community
Vitality
preserves
language
and
encourages
attendance
to
French
language
school.
Since
the
closure
of
the
song
educative
bosare
in
2016,
only
two
of
the
ten
city-run
daycare
centers
are
Uncle
fun,
one
of
which
is
scheduled
to
be
moved
in
the
near
future.
M
M
Whereas
the
following
tabling
of
the
proposed
2023
and
to
2026
term
of
council
priorities
at
City
Council
on
June
28
2022
members
of
council
have
proposed
some
amendments
to
further
clarify
language,
therefore
be
resolved.
That
Council
approve
the
following
amendments
to
the
proposed
2023-2026
terms
of
council
priorities:
number
one
amend
long-term
girl,
long-term
goal
to
ltg2
on
page

to
read
as
follows:
Auto
residence
benefit,
but
from
a
healthy,
sustainable
and
Equitable
built
environments
that
support
our
efforts
to
address
climate
change.
M
Two
and
then
the
first
paragraph
of
page
four,
to
reads
as
follows:
a
city
that
has
affordable
housing
is
more
livable
for
all.
Investing
in
services
that
affect
the
lives
of
all
residents,
including
those
most
in
need,
is
a
key
priority
for
the
city.
The
Strategic
priority
focuses
on
supporting
individuals
by
increasing
access
to
a
range
of
housing
option,
including
affordable
housing.
N
Thank

has
a
direct
impact
on
the
quality
of
life
and
also
the
economic
well-being
of
the
city
and
the
sense
of
well-being
for
all
the
residents
of
water.
Well,
we
know
it's
the
foundation
for
making
Ottawa
a
vibrant,
livable
City,
and
it's
important
that
we
have
a
culture
reflected
in
a
greater
way
in
some
of
the
objectives.
N
Indicators

ensure
cultural
programs
and

My
motion,
which
councilor

is
seconding
and
I.
Thank
him
for
that
be
amended
to
read,
align
parks,
recreation
and
cultural
facility,
new
development
and
renewal
of
existing
assets
with
population
growth
and
consideration
for
prioritizing
the
needs
of
economically
disadvantaged
neighborhoods
I'll,
just
briefly
state
that
certainly
there's
no
opposition
from
me
for
the
original
wording.
P
C
Q
Thank
you,
I'll
be
the
direction
at
its
meaning
of
June
28
2023
Council
received
and
tabled
the
proposed
2023-2026
terminal,
Council
parties
and
objective
one
States
increase
housing
options,
including
below
market
and
deeply
affordable,
near
Transit
leverage
city
land
and
seek
sustainable
funding.
While
the
Strategic
priorities
identified
in
the
2023-2026
term
of
council,
priorities
are
informed
by
and
along
with
the
city's
Master
plans
and
once
approved
are
published
in
the
city
strategic
plan.
Q
The
terms
deeply
affordable
and
Below
Market
do
not
align
with
the
definitions
related
to
affordable
housing,
as
stated
in
section
13
of
the
op
to
better
align
the
op
with
the
council
parties
and
to
promote
accountability.
I
ask
that
Canadian
social
services
staff
work
with
planning
real
estate
and
economic
development
to
align
the
terms
related
to
affordable
housing
and
develop
a
lexicon
of
these
charts.
E
Thank
you
so
much
mayor
the
reason
that
I
was
happy
to
Second
both
cancel
King's
motion
and
councilor
Menard's
amendments.
First
of
all,
on
Council
Menards
amendments.
We
really
need
to
be
ambitious
and
specific
when
it
comes
to
ending
chronic
homelessness.
It's
actually
in
the
city's
strategic
plan
to
end
chronic
homelessness
by
2030.,
so
I
really
think
we
should
be
reaching
for
much
more
ambitious
targets,
ideally
to
cut
it
in
half
by
the
end
of
this
term
and
to
eliminate
chronic
homelessness
completely
by
2030.
I'm.
E
I
also
support
the
direction
that
sorry
long
morning,
because
it's
really
important
that
we
specify
when
it
comes
to
affordability,
there's
so
many
definitions
floating
around.
We
need
to
be
really
really
specific
and
also
I.
I,
truly
believe
that
arts
and
culture
are
an
important
core
of
our
city
and
need
more
explicit
recognition
in
our
term
of
council
priorities.
So
thank
you
too
much.
So
much
to
all
the
other
counselors
who
brought
those
forward
and
I
support,
all
of
them.
R
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
and
I'm
happy
to
see
the
term
of
council
priorities
coming
to
council
today,
but
I
have
a
kind
of
a
little
few
concerns,
but
maybe
some
clarification
from
you
from
yourself.
It's
nice
to
see
all
this
initiative
and
we're
helping
the
community
in
the
need,
and
we
talk
about
housing,
economy,
development
and
I
know
in
the
report.
We
read
so
many
things,
but
people
in
rural
and
Suburban
that
they
have
to
take
their
car
and
they
have
to
use
our
road
I
think
it
was
not
enough
clarification.
R
Maybe
it's
good
for
from
the
public
to
hear
from
yourself
a
little
bit
about
our
priorities,
specifically
on
the
read
on
the
roads
and
services
we
deliver
later
in
the
last
three
four
weeks.
We
thought
about
core
services
that
to
deliver
to
the
residents
and
we've
been
just
about
other
election
and
the
people
we
heard
it
at
the
door
loud
and
cleared.
People
cannot
afford
to
pay
taxes
anymore,
but
they
need
the
services
people
in
rural
and
suburban
area.
R
They
need
their
religious
cut.
If
you
drove
the
road
in
the
city
of
Aroma,
look
around
our
ditches
they've
been
taken
over
by
the
Hulk
weeds,
our
Boulevard
and
Orleans
Riverside,
Riverside
South,
and
by
Haven
they're.
Barely
you
can
see
it
they're
overgrown
on
top
of
the
stop
sign.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
didn't
forget
that
people
that
this
operation
is
still
ongoing
and
we're
still
investing
in
our
road
and
our
core
Services.
That's
that's
what
I
like
to
hear
from
from
yourself
Mr
Man.
C
Thank
you,
councilor
jerus
I
certainly
support
that
and,
as
you
know,
at
budget
time,
we've
made
that
a
priority
in
the
in
the
2023
budget.
We
increased
the
the
road
repair
budget
by
30
million
dollars
and
and
certainly
as
you
did,
I
heard,
from
rural
and
Suburban
residents
in
particular,
but
also
some
Urban
residents
about
the
state
of
our
roads
and
the
need
for
repairs
to
core
infrastructure,
including
roads
and
sidewalks.
C
R
And
thank
you
very
much
Mr
Mayor
for
adding
those
because
I
know
they're
important,
and
we
want
to
assure
our
public
and
our
resident
that
we're
not
going
to
forget
those
Services,
because
as
much
as
you
Jana
has
this
discussion,
there
are
ongoing,
but
it's
nice
for
us
to
clear
it
and
make
sure
that
we
highlight
this
in
our
and
our
meeting
this
morning.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Mayor
always
supporting
the
initiatives.
K
Thanks
Mr
Mayor,
just
a
question
of
staff
and
a
comment
so
question
to
the
city
manager.
You
know.
Obviously
these
are
very
broad
priorities.
Very
comprehensive
and
I
think
we're
doing
a
lot
in
many
of
the
areas
already,
and
you
know
much
more
as
needed.
I
guess
how
does
this
translate
in
the
staff
level
from
time
to
time,
I
run
into
priorities
at
the
city
of
Ottawa
and
I
that
are
being
worked
on
by
staff
and
I,
say
geez.
K
H
Yeah,
thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
For
that
question.
The
alignment
will
really
come
through
the
corporate
plan
and
the
departmental
work
plans
to
ensure
that
they
are
aligned
to
the
term
of
council
priorities.
So
you're
going
to
see
that
as
we
move
through
the
term
you're
also
going
to
see
the
Pieces
come
as
we
move
through
the
iterative
budget
process
for
each
of
the
years
as
well,
aligned
to
the
term
of
council
priorities.
K
Great
and
and
I
expect
that
there'll
have
to
be
some
choices
in
terms
of
what
what
we
work
on
what's
being
worked
on
now,
and
there
might
be
some
pivoting
in
terms
of
priorities
and
I'll,
give
full
credit
to
stop
many
counselors
attended
a
recent
priority.
Setting
for
I
forget
the
name
of
the
branch
in
terms
of
of
our
real
estate,
Branch,
not
lots
of
projects
underway
and
I
think
trying
to
get
some
handle
on.
K
You
know
where
there's
consensus
on
priorities
going
forward
so
hope
that
will
will
continue
at
that
level,
just
in
the
in
the
time
that
remains
Mr,
Mayor
I
hope,
maybe
we'll
consider
sending
this.
Maybe
you'll
take
this
direction
that
we
share
this
with
local
members
of
provincial
Parliament
and
mpps,
because
we
will
need
assistance
in
advancing
some
of
these
priorities.
I
do
find
when
I,
when
I
review
this
again
I
can
support
it.
K
I
do
find
that
I
will
have
to
again
decode
this
for
my
constituency
in
terms
of
what
it
means
for
them:
I'll
be
transparent
in
terms
of
what
I
think
it
means
for
the
residents
of
Riverside,
South
and
Findlay
Creek.
I.
Think
it
means
that
we're
going
to
help
with
the
affordability
crisis
by
by
Building,
Homes
and
and
following
through
on
some
of
the
planned
growth.
That's
that's
happening
to
help
ease
pressure
on
housing
prices.
K
I
think
it
means
we're
going
to
build
much
more
self-sufficient
communities
in
this
in
in
this
area
that
have
the
retail
that
have
the
services
so
that
they're
not
leaving
to
go
to
other
parts
of
the
city
for
their
basic
shopping
needs.
I
hope
it
means
we're
going
to
finally
put
a
shovel
on
the
ground
for
a
much
needed.
Recreational
complex
that'll
serve
the
southeast
area.
We
know
that
our
pools
are
at
maximum
capacity.
K
We
have
to
provide
some
some
additional
infrastructure
there,
we're
we're
starting
finally,
work
on
Bank
Street,
that's
going
to
improve
the
road
network,
but
also
the
recycling
capacity,
also
The
Pedestrian
capacity,
and
really
take
a
rural
stretch
of
road
and
bring
it
to
its
proper
Urban
standard
to
serve
the
people
of
Findlay
Greek,
and
you
know,
I
want
to
see
that
continue,
because
additional
work
will
be
required
down.
The
road
we've
got
a
lot
of
Assets
in
the
lead,
trim
and
Finley
Creek
area
very
old.
K
Obviously,
to
move
to
to
to
to
advance
in
serving
the
growth
of
this
community,
we
need
to
to
ensure
that
applications
for
housing
or
for
retail
or
for
affordable
housing
are
processed
in
autonomy
matter,
so
that
we
can
see
again
shovels
in
the
ground
and
buildings
take
shape,
and
that
includes
projects
like
new
schools.
We
don't
want
to
have
communities
that
are
are
just
rows
and
rows
of
houses.
K
That
includes
the
tax
bill,
ensuring
that
we're
sensitive
to
the
ability
to
pay
of
our
residents
in
particular
seniors
and
recognizing
that
I
think
businesses
are
still
bouncing
back
after
the
pandemic,
and
we
need
to
be
sensitive
to
to
ensuring
that
we
have
a
budget
that
is
Affordable
to
Residents.
In
addition
to
responding
to
many
of
these
current
these
priorities.
K
P
You
mayor
I'll,
get
right
into
my
questions.
Priority
seven
is
improve
emergency
response
times.
We
don't
mention
anywhere
in
this
document
about
offload
delays
at
the
hospitals
and
I'd
like
to
know
why
that
is
considering
that's
a
significant
contributor
to
when
a
patient
receives
the
care
that
they
need.
S
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
that
offload.
Delays
are
a
concern,
as
you
know,
counselor
and
yeah
they're.
They
are
part
of
the
fabric
that
will
help
improve
response
time.
So
once
we
deal
with
offload
delays
and
how
we
deal
with
that,
it's
it's
certainly
a
provincial
issue.
It's
a
healthcare
systemic
issue
and
once
those
offload
delays
are
improved,
then
we
will
directly
improve
our
response
time.
So
it
is
a
a
method
of
us.
Improving
our
response.
Time
is
to
deal
with
that
issue.
S
H
I
may
just
to
start
in
in
terms
of
the
document
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
today,
it's
really
meant
to
be
a
very
high
level
and
strategic,
focused
document
that
will
put
the
priorities
and
objectives
as
discussed
and
collaborated
with
Council
in
front
of
you.
So
you'll
see
those
high
level
objectives
that
well,
if
you
drill
down
into
them,
could
speak
to
some
of
the
actions
or
some
of
the
things
that
we
will
do
to
improve
things
sort
of
behind
the
scenes
getting
into
those
details.
P
Okay,
we
just
spent
a
meeting
at
the
committee
I
chair
talking
about
this
matter.
It's
a
significant
issue.
It's
been
a
significant
issue
as
long
as
I've
been
a
counselor
and
if
you're
saying
Madam
acting
city
manager
that
this
is
included
in
the
sort
of
Greater
umbrella
than
I'll
accept
that
answer.
But
this
this
has
to
be
a
continued
major
priority
for
the
city.
C
Item
counselor
Brockington:
if
would
you
mind
if
I
just
spoke
to
that
really
quickly?
I
think
that
is
the
way
I
would
frame
it
is
that
you
know
strategic
priorities
are,
are
long-term
goals
that
we
have
and
what
and
I
think
reducing
offload
delays
is
a
means
toward
achieving
the
Strategic
priority
of
reducing
response
times
right.
So
it's
a
it's
a
means
towards
doing
that,
as
opposed
to
our
goal
is
not
to
reduce
offload
delays.
C
P
I,
don't
want
to
take
my
time
up
debating
you.
We
have
a
problem
getting
to
people
who
are
in
a
healthcare
emergency
within
the
prescribed
provincial
and
Municipal
Benchmark
times.
That
is
emergency
response
times.
We
also
have
separate
to
that
a
problem
when
we
get
to
the
hospital
and
offloading
those
patients
for
emergency
care
within
the
ER,
and
that
has
to
be
a
priority
as
well
that
we
focus
on
I'm
going
to
continue
item
10
is
improve
active
transportation
and
I'd
like
staff
to
elaborate
and
explain
what
the
word
improve
means.
T
Thank
you,
yeah.
Thank
you
for
the
question
Mr
Mayor
in
terms
of
improve.
We
want
to
do
better
than
whatever
you
know
we're
currently
doing
so.
We
want
to
show
more
projects
more
more
enhancements
in
terms
of
active
Transportation,
so
it
wasn't
just
I
think
the
original
wording
may
have
been.
You
know
focused
on
active
transportation.
We
want
to
build
on
it
and
improve
it.
P
T
P
T
P
What
is
the
city
of
Ottawa
plan
to
reimagine?
The
downtown
core
I
went
to
a
Board
of
Trade
event.
Six
weeks
ago.
They
actually
had
no
one
from
the
federal
government
there
to
speak
on
reimagining
the
downtown
court.
They
had
the
NCC,
they
had
Canada
lands,
but
the
actual
people
who
make
decisions
on
whether
employees
are
going
to
be
working
in
the
buildings,
whether
they're
going
to
offload
their
leased
buildings.
P
There
was
no
one
there
to
talk
to
that
piece
which
is
a
bit
of
a
head
scratcher
when
we're
talking
about
how
the
city's
downtown
core
is
going
to
evolve.
So
how
does
the
city
of
Ottawa
plan
evolve?
Who
is
championing
the
city
of
ottawa's
position
with
the
federal
government
on
what
we
would
like
to
see
the
downtown
core
evolve
into
and
I
suppose,
as
I
said
in
my
comments
to
staff
before
today
that
there's,
hopefully
a
working
group
of
multiple
parties
who
are
already
been
talking
about
this
for
quite
some
time?
T
T
P
Yeah,
if,
if
the
mayor,
I
appreciate
that
Mr
her
wire
and
if
the
mayor
can
note
that
as
well,
what
I'm
struggling
with
is
is
our
position.
We
would
like
to
attract
new
employers
to
take
over
the
buildings
where
the
federal
government
has
vacated
those
buildings
or
ever
other
private
entities
is
our
position
that
we
want
to
see
non-residential
buildings
be
now
used
for
residential
purposes.
Is
that
our
position
are
we
going
to
acknowledge
that
there
is
an
economic
depression
in
the
downtown
core
since
covid
started
how
many
businesses
have
left?
P
Who
is
championing
these
issues?
How
is
this
being
reported
back
to
council
or
through
fedco
or,
however,
you
know
mechanism
or
Channel?
We
decide
so
I
agree
with
the
Strategic
objective,
but
I
don't
know
what
the
city
of
ottawa's
position
is.
What
are
we
championing?
What
do
we
want
to
see
the
downtown
Coral?
P
Look
like
I
hear
different
positions,
and
that's
why
I
ask
it
today,
so
it
can
be
tabled
and
report
back
through
the
appropriate
committee,
but
I
am
very
concerned
about
this
and
would
like
to
see
more
information
sharing
about
what
is
being
discussed.
What
is
the
city
articulating
and
advocating
for
and
how
we
can
be
better
informed
going
forward?
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
and
to
to
staff
for
working
on
this
on
our
strategies
and
going
forward.
I
think
we
have
some
good
choices
here,
particularly
on
affordable
housing.
I
appreciate
the
emphasis
on
it
and
I
appreciate
councilman,
Arden
and
trosters
amendments
on
on
looking
at
data
of
the
number
of
households
that
are
going
to
be
assisted
from
the
registry
relative
to
the
number
of
households
on
the
waiting
list.
It'll
be
very
helpful
to
keep
track
of
these
things.
L
My
my
question
is
is
on
a
different
topic
of
active
transportation.
Is
is
metrics
to
look
at
how
we're
improving
things?
There
are
a
number
of
gaps.
That's
what
we're
talking
about
we're
looking
at
making
connectivity,
but
are
we
looking
at
at
that
kind
of
ridership?
Are
we
keeping
track
of
of
of
how
things
are
improving?
L
What
kind
of
measures
do
we
have
in
place
like
counters
Etc,
also
on
on
gender
equities?
Are
we
encouraging
all
genders
to
to
feel
comfortable
going
out
on
on
bikes,
for
example,
or
or
walking
so
I
just
want
to
know
how
we're
keeping
track
of
that
so
that
we
can?
We
continue
know
how
we're
doing
and
and
how
we're
improving.
T
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
Thank
you
for
the
question
counselor.
Certainly,
we
gotta
free,
robust
discussion
recently
as
part
of
phase
one
of
the
TMP
and
the
active
Transportation
projects,
and
certainly
there
is
accounts
and
monitoring.
I
believe
vvg
is
on
the
call
and
I'd
ask
for
Miss
chi
to
about
any
specific
metrics
that
she
could
share.
U
Thank
you
I'm
on
honestly.
For
for
the
metrics,
we
have
lots
of
policies
in
our
transportation
master
plan,
as
well
as
in
the
active
Transportation
policies
that
you've
approved,
that
sets
out
a
framework
to
make
sure
that
the
facilities
we
provide
fix
those
gaps
and
also
design
so
that
the
most
vulnerable
will
will
be
able
to
use
the
facilities
comfortably
and
safely.
We
also
have
lots
of
stats
from
our
OD
survey.
U
L
U
I
have
to
take
that
back
to
see
stats
Canada,
thus
capture
some
the
gender
of
trips
to
work.
So
there's
some
data
there
that
we
can
use,
and
we
can
have
a
look
into
that.
Our
OD
survey
also
has
captures
the
gender
you
know
for
those
that
are
responding
to
the
survey.
So
we
do
have
some
of
that
information.
L
Thank
you
very
much,
I
know
just
anecdotally.
Every
time
I
see
people
writing
on
the
sidewalk.
I
know
that
it's
because
this
infrastructure
is
missing
and
that
this
is
something
that
we
have
to
look
at.
It's
kind
of
in
the
my
informal
way
of
knowing
that
we
need
to
do
better,
but
I
appreciate
that
we've
got
it
on
the
list.
We're
going
to
improve
it.
I
just
want
to
know
if
we
can
measure
that.
Thank
you.
J
You
mate.
Excuse
me,
thank
you,
mayor
I
want
to
ask
I,
guess
a
city
manager,
maybe
what
sort
of
flexibility
do
we
have
in
terms
of
adjusting
some
of
these
priorities
in
the
future?
Let's
say
you
know,
there's
there's
some
sort
of
change
in
when
we
decide
to
look
at
some
of
our
priorities
a
little
differently.
H
So
you
can
certainly
come
back.
We
will
be
reporting
approximately
two
times
through
this
term
of
council,
so
we'll
be
having
an
open
discussion
in
terms
of
how
we're
achieving
the
priorities
that
we
have
in
front
of
you
today.
If
the
plan
is
approved,
you
also
have
the
other
Avenue
of
bringing
something
up
at
a
very
outstanding
committees,
and
remember
too,
that
there's
a
number
of
initiatives
that
will
be
dealt
with
through
the
departmental
work
plans
of
which
will
be
regularly
reporting
on
as
well
at
the
standing
committees.
J
And
there
are
a
lot
of
times
where
maybe
not
a
lot,
but
there
are
some
times
where,
where
we
say
things
or
try
to
do
things
that
end
up
clashing
with
something
we
set.
You
know
previously
like
in
priority
documents
like
these,
and
do
you
see
any
concerns
with
emotions
that
the
amending
motions
that
we
have
here,
because
I
I
mean
at
least
right
now
personally,
I
feel
some
of
these
are
pushing
into
the
prescriptive
territory.
H
Q
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Mayor
I
am
I
actually
just
want
to
say
in
my
former
life
that
I
was
a
head
of
planning
for
a
small
government.
Department
Federal,
Government
department
and
I
just
want
to
say
how
pleased
I
am
with
the
process
and
actually
having
such
a
fleshed
out
strategic
plan.
Strategic
priorities.
Q
I
know
that
when
I
arrived
and
I
looked
at
previous
term
of
council
priorities-
and
it
was
just
looked
like
a
list
of
10
10
things,
I'm
really
pleased
with
the
with
the
process
and
I
know,
there's
lots
more
work.
That
needs
to
be
done
through
our
our
operational
plan
and
I
think
you
know
we
need
to
have
a
significant
discussion
about
prioritizing
within
our
priorities
and
and
just
as
an
example,
you
saw
that
I
had
that
direction
on
affordable
housing
and
just
defining
exactly
what
we.
Q
What
we're
talking
about
in
some
cases
and
I'll
just
make
a
slight
note.
You
know
I
think
when
I
say
we
need
to
prioritize
within
our
priorities.
We
talk
about
the
need
for
housing
all
the
time,
but
really
to
me.
The
most
critical
thing
is
that,
as
of
June
5th,
we
had
100
14
people
living
in
community
centers.
We
had
985
people
living
in
hotels
and
motels.
We
had
79
youth
living
in
the
youth
shelters,
144
women,
417
men,
107
specialized
beds.
Q
Q
This
is
more
than
affordable,
housing,
I
think
is
going
to
be
our
biggest
challenge,
but
I'm
pleased
to
see
the
prominence
that
it
has
and
mostly
I
just
wanted
to
say
what
a
what
a
great
document,
what
a
great
job
City
staff
did,
and
the
facilitator
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
it
printed
up
in
a
really
nice
document
that
we
can
all
be
proud
of.
Thank
you.
C
H
W
M
C
E
E
Can
I
speak
to
this
for
a
moment?
Please,
okay!
So
thank
you
so
much
to
counselor
Bradley
for
second
in
this
motion.
If
some
of
you
listened
who
weren't
member
of
community
services
committee,
you
may
have
watched
the
meeting
where
I
spoke
passionately
about
the
the
urgent
need
for
this
alternative
crisis
response
pilot
to
launch.
As
soon
as
is
operationally
possible.
I
was
very
disappointed
with
the
initial
report.
That
said,
the
target
for
launch
would
only
be
Q4.
2024.
E
What
we're
seeing
in
the
core
is
that
a
significant
number
of
people
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
and
experiencing
the
drug
poisoning
and
addiction
crisis
in
Ottawa
they're
displaying
erratic
Behavior,
which
communities
service
providers
have
said,
is
largely
due
to
brain
damage
from
Poison
drug
Supply
and
the
impact
of
multiple
overdoses.
There
are
significant
concerns
about
Community
Security
in
the
community
that
I
represent,
and
much
of
it
stems
from
unmet
social
needs
from
the
utter
desperation
of
people
who
are
living
with
almost
nothing
and
who
don't.
You
know.
We.
E
There
was
an
article
in
the
paper
today
about
how
the
majority
of
drug
overdoses
occur
in
private
homes,
but
in
my
neighborhood,
where
lots
of
people
don't
have
a
place
to
live
or
they're
living
in
overcrowded
rooming
houses.
All
of
this
happens
out
in
the
open
and
it's
very
troubling,
it's
very
upsetting,
and
it
undermines
the
Dignity
of
of
folks
who
are
struggling
in
my
community.
So
we
desperately
need
another
place
to
call.
E
We
want
to
be
able
to
help
people
in
our
community,
so
I
really
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
Council
oversight
of
the
Guardian
Council
and
I
strongly
believe
that
by
adding
a
member
of
community
services
to
The
Guiding
Council,
it
can
help
us
expedite
this
project
because
we
need
it
so
desperately
in
so
many
of
our
communities
and
I
hope
to
see
it
succeed
and
be
something
that
we
can
then
extend
to
the
rest
of
the
city.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
X
X
So
I'll
speak
to
this
when
I
get
on
the
list
for
questions,
but
counselor,
truster
and
counselor
plant
so
well
articulate
the
issues
of
that
we're
primarily
experiencing
the
downtown
core.
Although
many
people
across
our
city
will
benefit
from
the
service,
so
my
concerns
are
largely
around
the
funding
strategy.
So
that's
where
I'll
Focus
my
questions
today.
Thank
you.
M
First
off
much
like
thank
you,
Mr
Mayo
colleagues,
I
fully
support
this
initiative.
Mental
health
responses
is
critical
for
those
who
are
deeply
distressed
and
struggling
and
I
also
fully
support
that
we're
placing
our
trust
in
the
compassion
and
the
humanity
of
our
community,
especially
those
who
may
have
felt
underserved
or
not
served
by
typical
response
mechanisms.
I
do
want
to
do
a
bit
of
myth.
Busting,
though,
because
I
have
had
some
emails
that
have
asked
questions
about
the
911
response
itself.
This
is
not
to
replace
9-1-1.
M
This
is
an
alternate
response
to
9-1-1
for
residents
who
are
struggling,
who
may
obviously
not
need
a
sort
of
police
response
and
maybe
just
having
a
mental
health
episode
and
are
in
distress,
and
it's
not
a
9-1-1
issue.
It's
more
like
I
need
help,
and
this
help
is
not
of
a
enforcement
kind.
I
also
want
to
say
I,
fully
support,
councilor
troster's
motion
on
governance,
I
believe
members
of
council
should
have
a
say
on
where
the
alternate
response
is
piloted
and
I
did
have
a
couple
questions.
M
M
Z
M
M
Yeah,
no
thank
you
for
for
clarifying,
because
I
was
really
impressed
with
sort
of
their
clinical
expertise
that
they
have
at
the
mobile
crisis.
Team
and
I
I
thought
that
may
that
may
be
leveraged
and
hopefully
can
push
things
along
and
then
my
other
question
was
who
provides
direction
to
The
Guiding
Council
to
carry
out
their
mandate.
AA
Excuse
me,
The,
Guiding,
The,
Guiding
council
is
an
independent
group,
an
organization
it's
funded
in
by
the
city
as
we
fund
other
organizations,
the
non-profit
organization,
that's
working
as
the
sponsor
to
The
Guiding
Council,
because
the
guiding
council
is
a
a
group
of
11
networks
is
cesock.
The
conse
economic
Carlton
and
our
ability
to
direct
the
work
is
through
the
service
agreement
and
funding
contract
that
we
have
with
say
talk
that
governs
that
funding.
AA
That
goes
directly
to
the
guiding
Council
The
Guiding
Council
Works
in
a
in
a
collective
impact
model.
They
work
through
consensus
and
they
work
together
to
develop
the
well
we'll
work
together
to
develop
the
next
steps
in
this
particular
initiative,
and
that's
essentially
how
the
oversight
occurs.
We're
one
of
many
groups
around
the
table,
but
the
funding
and
the
accountability
for
funding
is
governed
through
the
service
agreements.
M
Wonderful
and
then
my
last
question
is:
can
you
explain
because
I
find
myself
still
a
bit
confused
too
how
this
all
works
with
the
community
safety
and
well-being
plan?
Does
it
sort
of
fall
under
it?
Is
the
community
safety
well-being
planned
under
the
gardening
Council
I'm
I'm,
just
a
bit
confused
supportive,
but
just
a
bit
confused.
AA
Thank
you,
I
know
it's
a
wonderful
question:
Miss
mayor
I'm,
going
to
ask
Sarah
Taylor
who's,
a
director
for
the
community
safety
and
well-being
plan
to
provide
just
a
little
bit
of
the
history
it's
in
the
report,
but
maybe
it
would
be
helpful
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
the
history
of
how
the
guiding
Council
came
to
lead
our
mental
health
pillar
under
the
Community
safety
and
well-being
plan.
Sarah.
Are
you
online.
W
Yeah,
thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
so
answering
your
question
in
two
parts:
first,
within
the
community
safety
well-being
plan
under
the
mental
well-being
priority,
the
development
of
an
alternate
response
with
targeted
outcomes
is
one
of
the
commitments,
and
so
this
is
our
first
step
in
following
through
on
that
commitment
in
terms
of
The
Guiding
council's
relationship
to
the
community
safety
and
well-being.
As
Claire
mentioned
it's
outlined
in
the
background
of
the
report,
so
the
guiding
Council
was
created
initially
through
the
Ottawa
Police
Services
Board.
W
When
police
took
forward
a
report
around
developing
an
alternate
response
to
police,
responding
to
mental
health
crises
and
recommended,
given
the
disproportionate
impact
of
police
response
on
black
and
racialized
and
Indigenous
communities
that
an
arms-length
governance
body
be
established.
At
that
point
in
time
the
Police
Services
Board
agreed
to
that
and
passed
that
motion.
At
the
same
time,
the
community
safety
well-being
plan
was
being
developed
and
it
was
coming
forward
to
city
council
that
there
would
be
a
similar
sort
of
initiative
in
a
similar
priority
emphasis
placed
on
mental
well-being
and
mental
health.
W
So
city
council
directed
the
city
manager
to
approach
The
Guiding
Council.
As
a
way
to
align
efforts
across
the
municipality
specifically
around
this
initiative
around
mental
well-being
and
mental
health,
so
the
guy
the
city
manager
spoke
with
the
guiding
Council
who
agreed
to
take
on
that
responsibility
of
supporting
and
leading
the
mental
well-being
priority
based
on
the
work
they
had
done
to
date.
But
in
particular
Miss
Clara
mentioned.
The
guiding
council
is
made
up
of
multiple
networks
over
150
organizations
who
span
all
Service
delivery
for
mental
health,
substance
use
and
addictions
across
the
city.
W
So
with
that
expertise
they
agreed
to
take
that
on
the
city
manager
then
reported
back
to
Council
on
their
agreement.
To
do
so,
then,
following
that
in
April
of
2022,
the
community
safety
well-being
plan
provided
a
report
outlining
the
governance
framework
and
referencing
The
Guiding
council
is
how
it
fits
into
the
overall
framework
which
Council
received
at
that
time
as
well.
F
AB
Pause
and
say
how
important
this
alternative,
mental
health
and
substance
use
response
will
be
for
our
community
and
for
our
city.
It's
been
a
long
time
coming
and
I
know
that
there
is
a
strong
need
and
it's
been
vocalized
by
some
of
my
colleagues.
Councilor
troster
is
one
but
I
know.
Many
of
us
would
like
to
see
this
done
even
faster
and
I.
AB
Think
that
having
this
implemented
will
not
only
benefit
those
who
are
most
vulnerable
in
our
community
who
require
these
services,
but
it
would
also
free
up
police
from
attending
calls
where
they
don't
need
to
be
where
they
don't
want
to
be,
and
they
can
be
doing
other
things,
so
it
provides
a
benefit
of
multiple
benefit
in
not
having
them
respond
to
mental
health.
Specific
calls
where
we
could
use
professionals
who
specialize
in
those
areas
and
substance
use
calls.
AB
We
can
have
the
right
people
in
the
right
place,
freeing
up
our
officers
to
do
other
things
that
they're
required
to
do.
I'm
very,
very
pleased
that
staff
have
put
this
together.
I
want
to
thank
them
for
their
efforts
on
this
I
know.
It's
been
a
lot
of
work
and
effort.
We
have
wonderful
team
members
such
as
Sarah
and
Clara,
who
are
there
and
I'm
only
naming
a
couple,
but
I
also
wanted
to
thank
the
guiding
Council
too,
because
they
have
done
an
incredible
amount
of
work
to
get
us
to
this
position.
AB
The
whole
goal
is
to
make
sure
we're
putting
the
right
resources
in
the
right
place
at
the
right
time
to
help
those
who
need
it.
The
most
so
I
fully
support
this
report
and
the
committee's
recommendations
and
I
do
thank
councilor
troster
for
putting
forward
her
motion
as
well
as
the
direction
from
Vice.
Chair
Bradley,
thank
you.
Mr
Mayor.
AC
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
just
want
to
say
quickly
that
I
fully
support
this
motion
by
councilor
troster
and
thank
you
counselor
trouser
for
putting
it
Forward
I
I.
Definitely
thank
the
guiding
council
is
a
lot
of
work
and
staff.
A
lot
of
work,
I,
just
I,
feel
like
because
there
is
such
a
pressing
need,
there's
more
in
my
thinking.
Okay,
now,
let's
just
get
this
stuff
done
and
not
continue
sort
of
all
of
the
long
meetings
of
determining
the
things.
AC
AC
There
is
a
movement
by
the
provincial
health
Team,
the
four
rivers
health
Team,
to
have
an
entire
Center,
where
anyone
who
is
dealing
with
addictions,
mental
health
issues
and
is
found
and
helped
by
whoever
it
is
of
the
the
alternate
response
team
is
then
taken
to
somewhere
where
they
can
get
wraparound
care.
That
is
the
very
I
think
smartest
way
to
go
about
this.
If
you
have
a
team,
you
have
a
phone
number,
then
you
have
somewhere
to
take
them.
That
project
needs
to
be
well
understood
by
whoever's,
carrying
out
the
ongoing
work.
AC
There
are
other
projects,
there's
synergies
with
the
Ottawa
Hospital
and
paramedics.
There's
all
kinds
of
other
projects
ongoing
in
this
city.
That
I
think
that
potentially
staff
counselors
need
to
bring
to
that
group
and
then
maybe
say
we
will
take
it
from
there.
So
I'm
not
immediately
saying
it
should
stand
down,
but
I
think
there
are
other
things
that
could
be
done
more
quickly
without
having
longer
meetings.
Maybe
that
sounds
harsh,
but
I
I
do
hear
how
pressing
it
is.
AC
The
other
comment
I
will
make
is
there's
so
many
needs
in
that
document
we
receive
there's
one
mention
of
rule
and
I
think
there
I
know
this
is
a
pilot.
I
know
we
have
to
start
somewhere,
but
there
needs
to
be
a
focus
as
well
on
all
the
other
parts
of
the
city
and
I
think
that
would
come
with
more
of
a
an
understanding
by
counselors
and
staff
as
to
how
much
more
can
be
done
other
than
what's
in
this
report
anyway.
I
support
this
and
I
look
forward
to
something
actually
moving
along
here.
X
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
and
thank
you
to
to
staff
for
bringing
this
report
forward
into
the
work
of
The
Guiding
Council.
This
has
been
a
long
time
coming,
as
the
chair
actually
pointed
out,
and
the
need
for
this
service
is
desperate.
I'm
grateful
for
counselor,
truster's
motion
and
I
hope
that
we
can
expedite
the
implementation.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
I
wanted
to
wrap
a
bit
of
context
around
the
direction
that
I
provided
to
staff
today,
and
my
concern
is
larger,
largely
around
the
funding
strategy
that's
outlined
in
the
report.
X
We
know
that
this
project
will
only
be
successful
if
we
make
an
adequate
investment
and
treat
it
like
it
is
an
investment.
So
I
was
a
bit
surprised
to
see
that,
despite
the
magnitude
of
this
pilot
project
that
there's
really
no
new
funds
being
allocated
or
requested
throughout
the
three
years
so
for
year,
one
we're
using
the
tax
stabilization
fund
in
the
amount
of
2
million
or
to
just
almost
2.5
million
and
I
mean
this
is
a
bit
of
a
gray
area.
X
For
me,
I
had
talked
to
our
Treasurer
about
the
use
of
this
money
and
whether
it
was
appropriate,
because,
typically,
we
see
these
funds
being
used
for
one-time
or
unforeseen
expenses
or
to
advance
Fund
in
a
year
outside
of
a
budget
cycle.
So
I
understand
that
some
of
these
funds
will
be
used
in
2023
so
that
we
can
start
getting
a
move
on
so
I
I
can
support
that.
X
Although
I'm
a
I
would
have
rather
see
some
funds
advanced
in
2023
and
then
an
appropriate
budget
asked
to
be
made
in
2024
as
opposed
to
using
a
reserve
fund
for
2025
and
2026.
However,
the
intent
is
to
seek
upper
tier
funding,
or
perhaps
funding
that
we
might
be
able
to
advocate
for
through
Ottawa,
Police
and
I
hope
that
we're
successful
in
that.
X
But
right
now
that
2.1
million
dollars
is
being
used
to
fund
a
number
of
organizations
in
our
community
doing
work
with
vulnerable
populations,
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
the
general
manager
can
outline
Just
for
council's
information
and
reminder
what
is
that
2.1
million
dollars
that's
being
proposed
to
be
reallocated
if
we're
not
successful
in
securing
upper
tier
funds
to
this
project?
What
is
that
currently
funding
now.
AA
X
Thanks
so
much
I
guess
where
I'm
struggling
is
that
in
no
other
service
in
our
in
our
city?
Would
we
say
you
know
with
a
big
pilot
project
like
this?
Would
we
ask
them
to
cover
it
with
an
existing
resources
and
I
feel
like
we're?
You
know
cutting
off
our
our
foot
to
save
our
arm
in
this
case
and
that
a
lot
of
these
organizations
that
Clara
referenced
are
supporting
vulnerable
people,
who
you
know
which
we
need.
X
It's
a
complimentary
service
with
this
crisis
response
team,
this
crisis
response
people
help
people
who
are
experiencing
an
acute
episode,
but
these
organizations
that
provide
these
types
of
services
are
stabilizing
people
long
term.
So,
yes,
we
might
have
an
acute
response,
but
then
we
won't
have
the
capacity
within
different
organizations
to
actually
stabilize
people,
so
the
direction
that
I
had
put
forward
was
simply
that
if,
by
the
end
of
Q2
2024,
we
don't
have
upper
tier
level.
X
Funding
I
just
want
Council
to
be
aware
of
that,
so
that
we
can
have
that
conversation
in
2025
during
budget
of
whether
or
not
it
makes
sense
to
reallocate
2.1
million
dollars.
That's
helping
vulnerable
popular
now
that
will
complement
this
program
as
opposed
to
requesting
either
new
money
or
finding
an
additional
source.
So
it's
not
making
any
commitments
just
that,
let's
just
have
that
conversation.
Let's
go
into
this
with
all
of
the
information.
Did
we
get
up
or
to
your
money?

Where
is
the
city
clerk
brought
forward
recommendations
in
this

to
eliminate
the

Development
Department,
already
has
direction
to
and
is
engaging
with
a
range
of
external
stakeholders
to
advance

change?
Priorities
therefore
be
resolved
that
the
GM
of

and
economic
development,
in
consultation
with
other
GMS,
explore
the
feasibility
of
establishing

that

provide
an
update
by
way
of
a

to

including

AD
I
could
just
start,
whereas,
as

each

shall
include
one
member
of
council
and
a
non-voting

Branch

Services,
advisory

and

therefore
be
it
resolve.
AD
And
I'll
read
the
second
one,
whereas
the
process
for
Recruitment
and
appointment
for
new
members
of
the
French

and

will
begin
upon

approval
of
the

set
out
in

and
whereas,
in

with
the
appointment
policy
for

appointed
public

A
selection
panel
comprised
of
two

would
be
responsible
for

M
Interviewing
documents,
six,
which
provides
the
guidance
on
working
group
I,
realized
I,
had
a
number
of
concerns
about
how
some
of
the
groups
are
operating
when
I
perform.
I
proposed
a
large
number
of
amendments
to
the
document
in
speaking
with
the
clerk
he
and
I
chatted,
and
one
of
the
things
we
thought
of
was
doing
sort
of
a
sponsors
group
on
working
group.
M
So
we
can
see
how
many
of
these
exist
and
what
they're
all
doing
so
I'll
just
read
the
motion
right
now
and
I
wanted
to
thank
Mr
O'connor
for
helping
me
flesh
this
out,
whereas
is
outlined
in
The
Advisory
body
review
report.
Department-Led
working
groups
are
an
ad
hoc
advisory
committees
established
by
staff,
to
provide
advice
to
staff
staff
and
are
not
established
under
legislations
and
are
not
considered
to
be
local
boards
and
whereas
documents,
six
that
sets
out
procedural
guidance
for
department-led
working
groups.
M
Be
it
further
resolved
that
Council
strike
us
Council
sponsors
group
to
work
with
the
city
clerk
to
review,
comprised
of
up
to
five
members
of
council
that
do
not
form
Quorum
of
any
standing
committee
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
office
of
the
city
clerk
report
back
with
updated
recommendations
for
department-led
working
groups
for
Council
consideration
as
part
of
2020
to
2026
midterm
government's
review
message.
Yeah.
D
C
C
So
then
the
report
recommendations
as
as
mended
is
that
carried
and
then
the
motion
by
counselor
Carr
is
that
carriage,
yes
carried
can't,
and
then
there
are
two
motions
by
counselor
kits.
First
is
on
the
French
language,
Services
advisory
committee
and
the
planning
advisory
committee
and
the
community
safety
and
well-being
advisory
advisory
committee
is
that
carriage
and
then
the
second
is
on
the
planning
advisory
committee.
C
O
Whereas
this
land
was
previously
disposed
of
for
one
dollar
under
the
condition
it
would
be
used
for
non-profit
use
and
whereas
council
is
approving
its
new
term
of
council
priorities
today
and
whereas
the
first
priority
listed
in
that
document
is
affordable,
housing
and
whereas
Council
should
be
explicit,
that
the
proceeds
generated
from
the
removal
of
the
reversionary
Covenant
from
title
to
1967,
Riverside,
Drive
or
not
specifically
earmarked
to
return
to
the
animal
hospital
that
they
could
be
put
towards
other
objectives.
If
Council
so
decides,
therefore
be
resolved.
O
But
recommendation
three
be
amended
as
follows:
direct
staff
to
hold
the
estimated
12.9
million
dollar
uplift
in
value
of
the
Covenant
in
a
separate
account
until
such
time
as
the
commercial
contractual
negotiations
are
finalizing
Council
considers-
and
this
is
the
change
that
would
be
here
a
how
best
to
spend
these
funds
in
light
of
its
new
term
of
council
priorities
so
such
as
affordable
housing
and
that's,
that's.
The
entire
change
be
a
final
Direction

C
AG
Sorry
about
that,
you
worship
I,
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
about
this
quite
a
bit
at
a
committee,
so
I
won't
below
the
point.
It's
it's
before
us
today.
Prior
to
the
end
of
the
review
as
In
fairness,
this
came
in
before
we
decided
that
we
were
going
to
do
a
review
of
CIP
applications.
This
meets
the
criteria
of
the
CIP
application.
The
property
as
it
currently
stands
right
now
is
a
rusty
old
Hangar
with
zero
employment
on
it.
AG
With
this
grant,
which
it
has
been
demonstrated,
this
development
would
not
move
forward.
Without
this
grant,
it
would
not
be
feasible
we're
looking
at
upwards
of
of
75
new
jobs
in
a
traditionally
economically
depressed
area.
We
would
have
liked
to
have
seen
affordable
housing
on
the
site.
However,
zoning
does
not
allow
for
it
and
neither
does
the
secondary
plan
or
the
official
plan.
AG
I
think
that
this
is
a
good
use
of
the
property
with
quite
a
few
new
businesses
coming
in
here
and
I
would
request
that
my
Council
colleagues,
please
please
support
this
application
today.
It
did
pass
that
committee
10
to
two
so
very
strong
support
at
the
committee
level
and
hoping
that
we
might
be
able
to
see
that
strong
support
again
today.
Thank
you.
L
I
I
was
concerned
when,
when
I
asked
the
owner
of
the
property
I
apologize,
I
forgot
his
name
talking
about
Automotive
business
being
there
and
I
realized
that
it's
not
been
designated
for
housing,
but
because
of
the
zoning
right
now,
but
it
doesn't
sound
like
it's
oriented
towards
active
Transportation
or
you
know
for
either
pedestrians
or
cycling.
So
how
is
that
taken
into
account.
T
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
it's
your
question.
Counselor
the.
As
you
noted,
the
the
uses
are
permitted
by
the
current
zoning.
It's
more
of
an
employment
area.
The
one
of
the
requirements
that
would
be
implemented
through
the
site
plan
would
be
some
of
those
enhancements
in
terms
of
pedestrian
connectivity
and
improvements
on
site
relationship
to
the
streets.
So
those
would
be
those
would
be
work
through
subject
to
this
grant
being
approved
through
the
through
the
site
plan
process.
T
T
To
your
question,
we
would
not
be
eliminating
parking.
The
the
applicant
would
be
required
to
to
meet
the
zoning
Barlow
parking
requirements.
Given
its
proximity
to
Transit.
We
would
certainly
be
looking
to
minimize
the
amount
of
parking,
I'm
sure,
there's
no
oversupply
of
parking,
I'm,
sure,
there's
good
bicycle
parking
on
site
and
and
good
connections,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,.
L
T
T
L
L
O
Obviously,
the
Investments
that
we're
making
in
that
project
are
very
large
and
will
benefit
economic
activity
in
that
area.
Tremendously.
It's
it's
my
view
and
I
suspect.
A
lot
of
people
ought
was
that
we
can
likely
be
more
ambitious
than
than
subsidizing
three
one-story
buildings
for
private
commercial
use.
O
If
there's
demand
for
restaurants,
brick
and
mortar
retail
or
any
other
commercial
use
that
will
be
built
without
sacrificing
taxpayer
dollars
with
LRT
coming
to
this
land,
it's
Prime
real
estate
and
so
subsidizing
single-story
commercial
units,
just
a
stone
throw
from
a
future
LRT
is
it
might
view
a
bad
use
of
public
funds,
and
this
is
public
funds.
It's
not
free
money.
Investing
in
LRT
is
already
a
massive
multi-billion
dollar
investment
spurring
Economic
Development.
Here
we
are
also
overseeing
a
city-wide
upzoning
exercise
through
our
planning
committee,
which
I
support.
O
The
latter
will
see
the
profitability
and
value
of
land
increase
all
over
Ottawa,
especially
along
corridors
presently
targeted
by
cips
I.
Think
the
rest
of
council
also
knows.
We
have
a
review
ongoing
here.
That
review
is
supposed
to
report
back
in
less
than
a
couple
of
months
and
so
for
the
sake
of
taxpayers.
In
terms
of
funding
this
initiative,
we
should
probably
wait
for
that
review
to
be
done
and
come
back
here.
O
I
think
members
of
council
also
know
that
we've
earmarked
over
150
million
dollars
in
the
last
15
years
for
Brownfield
and
sip
programs,
with
nine
over
90
million
earmarked
in
the
last
five
years
alone,
90
million
dollars
in
the
last
five
years,
and
so
I
think
this
begs
the
question:
is
this
value
for
money
and
I?
Think
there's
likely
other
Investments
that
we
could
be
doing
this
for
such
as
the
affordable
housing
sip
that
we're
talking
about
getting
started?
O
And
so,
if
you
look
at
the
tax
increment
equivalent
grants
that
would
be
payable
here
to
trim
Works
development
following
the
payment
of
annual
property
taxes,
it
would
total
a
maximum
of
1.2
million
dollars
and
that
would
accrue
over
the
10-year
period.
The
city
is
only
expected
to
to
take
in
a
419
thousand
dollars
in
new
Municipal
property
taxes,
so
at
three
to
one
margin:
I.
Just
think,
there's
a
better
use
of
funds
here,
that's
why
we've
got
the
review
going
on
here.
O
If
the
zoning
doesn't
support,
affordable
housing,
that's
why
the
zoning
activity
is
going
on
now
to
change
those
sorts
of
things,
particularly
near
LRT,
so
more
taxpayer
dollars
for
this
sort
of
thing
shouldn't
happen,
and
we
should
wait
for
that
review
to
come
back,
which
I'll
support
and
look
forward
to
to
discussing
at
the
time,
but
I
think
in
this
case
mayor.
This
is
not
something
I'm
going
to
support
at
this
time
and
I
hope
that
we
see
in
the
future.
O
Our
staff
come
back
with
a
a
big
change
to
really
show
value
for
money,
because
right
now,
the
way
it's
structured,
every
property,
taxpayer
and
auto
would
love
love
a
grant.
They
love
a
taxpayer
rebate
on
their
property
taxes
that
they
pay,
if
they
add
an
addition
to
their
home
or
if
they
build
something
new
they'd
all
love,
one
they'd,
all
love
a
tax,
Grant
and
right
now
the
way
the
program's
structured
everyone
would.
We
would
see
benefit
in
all
of
those
with
giving
a
large
Municipal,
Grant.
O
C
Thank
you,
councilor
Menard
I'll,
just
reiterate,
as
I
did
a
committee
that
I
won't
be
supporting
this
proposal,
not
because
I'm
opposed
to
it
in
in
on
its
own
merits,
but
because
I
did
say
that
I
would
not
support
any
cips
until
we
received
the
review
which
we're
expecting
in
a
in
a
couple
of
months,
so
I'll
be
voting
against
the
motion
on
that
basis,
so
I've
heard
a
few
people
say
they're
voting
against
it.
So
can
we
please
do
yays
and
nays
on
this.

The
original
staff
report
included
a
recommendation
that
the
current
special
considerations
program
be
expanded
to
also
include
non-hazardous

This
particular
matter
was

of
our
final
decision
and
following
decision.
A
number
of
people
who
emit
hazardous
waste
inquired
with
my
office
about
whether
or
not
this
was
included,
and
it
is
not
so
working
with
staff
developed.
This
motion
to
include
households
that
produce
hazardous
medical
waste.
It's
costed,
it's
included
in
the
motion
here
and
I,
would
ask
the
full
support.
P
C
Z

AB
AB
That
was
and
focus
that
was
on
being
able
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
residents
and
I'm.
Also
taking
this
Motion
in
terms
of
being
a
former
journalist,
I
was
a
journalist
for
over
10
years.
I
worked
in
Stratford
at
the
Beacon
Herald
I
worked
at
the
Ottawa
Sun
I
worked
at
different
news
outlets
and
I
knew
how
important
it
was
for
local
reporters
to
be
on
the
ground
and
to
be
sharing
information
that
mattered
to
people,
particularly
people
who
lived
in
the
community.
AB
Whereas
in
the
past
several
years,
Ottawa
has
faced
horrendous
natural
disasters,
including
tornadoes
flooding,
a
duration,
ice
storms,
heat
waves,
as
well
as
other
emergencies
such
as
last
year's
Convoy
and
most
significantly
a
global
pandemic.
In
all
of
these
situations,
the
ability
to
share
local
news
with
residents
was
critically
essential,
whereas
meta's
decision
would
severely
impact
the
ability
of
both
the
city
of
Ottawa
and
individual
members
of
council
to
share
information
with
residents
and
eliminate
our
ability
to
share
critical
updates
from
local
media.
AB
Democracy
therefore
be
resolved
that
any
new
non-critical
advertising
campaigns
by
public
information
and
media
relations,
pimmer
at
the
discretion
of
the
chief
Communications
officer,
be
suspended
on
all
meta-owned
platforms
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
suspension
lasts
until
meta
resumes
discussions
with
the
government
of
Canada
or
reverses
its
ban
on
placing
Canadian
Media
news
stories
on
its
platforms
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
this
motion
be
shared
with
the
Ontario
premier's
office.
Local
members
of
parliament,
local
members
of
provincial
Parlin
and
all
Ontario
municipalities.
AD
AD
Thank
you
for
that
clarification.
I
would
not
be
able
to
support
this
if
it
did
include
Ottawa
Public
Health,
because
I
know
that
losing
the
ability
to
use
paid
advertising
to
boost
posts
on
Facebook
would
have
a
definite
impact
on
their
Communications
and
in
discussions
with
them.
I
know
that
the
concern
would
be
difficult
to
reach
populations
and
also
the
fact
that
Facebook
ads
are
are
so
cost
efficient,
especially
comparison
compared
to
traditional
media
list.
AI
Thank
you
for
the
question:
Mr
Mayor.
Yes,
we
do
use
Facebook,
we
do
use
it
to
reach
diverse
populations.
However,
in
the
motion
we
are
identifying
critical,
critical
Communications
as
being
exempt,
and
that
would
be
at
the
discretion,
so
we
will
be
creating
a
the
criteria
around
that.
What
does
that
mean
to
ensure
that
that
we
meet
the
greatest
needs
of
the
organization.
AG
AG
So
this
is
leading
now
to
the
crowding
out
of
moderate
content,
steeped
in
Canadian
context
in
favor
of
context
from
other
countries,
which
is
not
a
good
development
and
meta.
The
company
that
owns
Facebook
and
Instagram
has
now
banned
the
sharing
of
Canadian
news
on
its
Platforms.
In
response
to
the
passing
of
this
federal
government
legislation.
AG
You
know
when
a
child
teases,
a
dog
that
he
doesn't
know
and
the
dog
bites
the
child's
hand.
You
don't
blame
the
dog
and
so
I
cannot
support
this.
Providing
less
information
is
is
a
bad
thing.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
getting
as
much
information
out
to
the
public
as
possible
when
I'm
out,
knocking
on
doors
and
speaking
to
people
in
the
community.
AG
In
fact,
I
had
a
public
meeting
yesterday
with
a
with
a
member
of
the
public,
who
told
me
that
he
was
not
aware
of
the
Ontario
of
the
The
Orleans
secondary
plan
study
that
was
going
on,
despite
the
fact
that
we
had
Buck
slipped
and
used
the
tools
that
meta
offers
to
get
things
out.
We
need
to
bolster
our
Communications
with
residents,
not
get
ourselves
in
between
the
federal
government
and
meta.
AG
O
AB
The
process
already
of
content
blocking
basically
of
them
not
willing
to
to
have
those
conversations,
but
I
will
stress
that
you
know
once
again,
I
purposely
wrote
this
with
the
aspect
of
looking
at
our
local
media
at
the
impact
of
us
as
politicians
being
able
to
share
local
news
and
information.
We
are
only
privy
to
so
much
detail
in
our
own
work
and
lives
to
be
able
to
share
those
details
and
I
recall
during
some
of
those
instances
of
of
natural
disasters,
the
tornado
and
Orleans
and
and
different
flooding
across
our
city.
AB
Where
being
able
to
share
a
local.
You
know
CBC
Ottawa
article
or
you
know
a
citizen
article
got
the
information
out
much
quicker,
so
I
am
going
to
just
be
very
clear
that
you
know
I
am
focusing
on
the
the
impact
on
local
media.
If,
at
some
point,
we
do
wish
to
expend
expand
it
to
alphabet
and
others
I'm
happy
to
entertain
that,
but
at
this
point
in
time,
I
felt
that
this
was
the
most
prudent
and
targeted
measure.
O
I
just
understand
Google's,
taking
the
same
approach
and
again
another
area
that
that
we
advertise
on
I,
I,
guess
I,
wish
we
weren't
actually
having
this
conversation
I,
don't
think
it
belongs
at
this.
This
table
in
the
first
place,
but
I
know
we're
here
now
so
I
guess
to
to
our
colleagues
in
pimmer.
O
This
is
a
federal
government
issue.
Mayor
I
know:
we've
talked
about
this
around
this
table
of
why
we're
debating
federal
government
issues
and
I
just
I'm
struggling
to
to
to
just
even
discuss
it
because
I
don't
think
it
belongs
to
the
table.
So
you
know,
I
could
propose
an
amendment
here
to
say:
let's,
let's
try
to
push
the
federal
government
to
do
what
France
did
instead
of
what
Australia
did
but
I
just
don't
think
it's
our
place.
X
Thank
you,
Mr
Marin.
Thank
you
to
the
Mover
for
bringing
this
forward.
I.
Guess
where
I'm
struggling,
is
that
I
don't
understand
the
impact
of
what
we're
deciding
today
so
20
of
our
advertising
on
is
on
Facebook.
We
don't
have
criteria
about
what
would
be
critical
versus
non-critical.
So
would
a
Rec
program
be
a
non-critical
advertisement
that
we
would
stop
doing
and
I
assume
that
we
track
the
return
on
investment
of
these
ads
that
we
do
and
so
how
many
new
sign
ups?
X
Do
we
get
for
a
Rec
program
when
we
advertise
on
Facebook
and
are
we
looking
at
a
potential
Revenue
impact
if
we
decide
to
limit
where
we
advertise
these
things?
So
for
me,
I
I
appreciate
the
intention
and
I.
You
know
it
could
potentially
Be
an
Effective
tool,
but
I
I
don't
know
what
what
impact
it
could
have
to
the
community
to
our
Revenue
to
our
programming,
which
ads
we
wouldn't
put
forward,
which
ones
we
would
so
on
that
basis.
X
I
can't
support
it,
but
perhaps
if
if
the
Mover
was
open
to
deferring
this,
so
that
we
could
get
information
like
that
and
better
understand
the
impact
that
could
potentially
come
on
board.
But
just
in
the
absence
of
that
information,
I
I,
don't
know
what
broader
impact
it
would
have
as
an
organization.
AB
I
I
appreciate
you
know
this
is
timely,
right
and
I.
You
know:
I
go
back
to
my
comments
to
counselor
Menard
Google's
at
the
table
talking
right,
but
we
have
meta
who's
not
and
once
again,
truly
this
might
be
symbolic
right.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
pimmer
might
decide
that
there
is
a
critical
path.
They
have
to
share
information
and
they
share
it
through
meta
and
that
will
be
available
to
them
through
this
motion.
AB
I
didn't
want
to
bind
our
City's
hands
too
much,
but
frankly,
it
is
inappropriate
for
an
American
social
media
giant
to
bully
local
or
national
media
in
Canada.
I.
Just
can't
abide
by
it.
I
can't
stand
for
it.
So
that
is
why
it
is
here
today
it
is
timely.
There
are
decisions
that
are
going
to
be
made
by
our
corporate
Communications
team.
I'm.
Sorry
I'm,
not
using
camera
I,
should
have
used
I'm
using
the
old
name.
AB
That
will
sign
us
up
for
contracts
with
meta
that
if
we
don't
decide
this
today,
we'll
tie
our
hands
for
a
short
period
of
time.
So
that
is
why
I
wanted
us
to
make
a
decision
if
this
passes
I
truly
hope
for
people's
support,
if
it
doesn't
so
be
it.
But
the
fact
is
is
that
it
is
imperative
that
we
make
this
decision
at
some
point
and
I
felt
that
it
was
necessary
to
bring
it
up.
X
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
I
guess
my
question
to
Stefan
is:
do
we
track
when
we
do
a
Facebook
advertisement
for
a
recreation
program?
Do
we
track
that
return
on
investment
so
that
the
ad
cost
X
and
that
it
generated
X
number
of
signups
to
a
class
like?
Is
that
the
level
of
detail
that
we
would
track
when
we're
deciding
where
to
use
our
advertising
dollars.
AJ
Mr
Mayor
I
can
say
that
for
certain
applications
we
certainly
do
track
it,
and
the
notable
example
is
is
for
us.
Is
the
cultural
programs
theaters,
for
example,
where
using
Facebook
to
promote
things
that
are
under
selling,
for
example,
show
immediate
and
generally
pretty
positive
results.
So
it
is
especially
on
the
page
stream
a
pretty
effective
approach
to
generating
new
business
for
for
very
targeted
applications.
We
also
see
good
response,
not
necessarily
measured
in
sales,
but
certainly
for
things
like
seasonal
registration
dates
and
promoting
those.
X
And
and
obviously
we
want
to
be
able
to
support
our
recreational
programs,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
revenue
is
coming
in,
that
communities
are
aware
of
the
offerings
that
we
have
at
the
city
and
so
the
potential
for
Revenue
loss.
Here
it
could
be
impactful
and
so
unfortunately,
well
I
appreciate
the
intent
and
I
I
very
much
appreciate
the
work
that
our
journalists
do
here
in
Canada
and
want
to
support
them
as
best
that
I
can
I'm,
not
sure
that
this
is
the
right
measure
right
now.
So
thank
you
very
much.
R
To
the
mayor
and
I
I
I
also
I
would
love
to
support
the
motion,
but
I
think
it's
a
premature
and
we
I
don't
know
why?
What
why
even
we're
discussing
this
at
this
at
our
Council
table
I
understand
it's
symbolic.
We
need
to
support
our
journalism
and
everything,
but
we're
also
Gonna
Hurt,
our
our
recreational,
our
Facebook,
believe
it
or
not
yet
reach
out
to
so
many
other
demographic
and
I
gotta
agree
with
counselor
Bradley,
I'm,
councilor,
Manara
and
councilor
ruloff
like
this
is
really
it's
the
time
of.
R
It
is
not
good
now
and
I
think
we
should,
if
we
can
defer
it
for
another
time
and
I
understand
the
sense
of
the
video
of
time,
but
really
what
is
the
time?
This
is
a
federal
method
and
we're
getting
involved
in
the
federal
politics
again
symbolically.
We
do
agree
with
our
journalists
and
with
the
Canadian
newspapers
and
everything,
but
I.
Don't
think
this
is
our
place
to
to
discuss
this.
So
I
cannot
even
support
that.
So.
Thank
you
very
much.
G
Thank
you,
chair,
I,
won't
be
supporting
the
motion,
but
I
definitely
appreciate
the
spirit
and
principle
of
the
fight
that
castle
dudas
is
trying
to
wage
there.
I
I
do
appreciate
that,
but
I
agree
with
my
colleagues
that
it
doesn't
feel
that
this
is
our
fight
to
fight,
but
also
I
am
concerned
about
the
impact
on
our
residents,
so
I
just
want
to
follow
up
on
a
question
to
staff.
G
So
we
heard
just
a
while
ago.
You
said
that
this
represents
our
meta.
Advertising
represents
20
of
your
advertising
budget,
which
is
significant,
I,
guess
I'm
more
concerned
of
what
I
want
to
hear.
More
specifically,
is
not
just
what
budget
level,
but
what
reach
and
return
on
investment
does
that
20
wager
from
my
own
small
expenses
in
advertising?
My
return
on
investment
from
Facebook
has
always
been
Splendid,
so
does
the
reach
we
have
through
our
Facebook
advertising?
G
AI
G
AI
G
AK
Mr
Mayor
I'm
going
to
support
the
motion,
it's
funny
with
Facebook
and
other
social
media.
We
all
kind
of
agree:
it's
bad
for
democracy,
bad
for
local
news,
bad
for
mental
health
of
kids
and
adults,
and
yet
we're
still
reluctant
to
step
back
from
it,
whether
it's
spending
money
or
spending
time
on
it.
AK
So
I'm
going
to
support
the
motion,
and
maybe
we
should
re-look
at
the
city's
approach
to
social
media
in
general.
At
a
later
date.
I
know
we
find
far
better
engagement
and
reach
via
our
email
newsletter.
Our
community
newspaper
and
other
traditional
methods
and
I
would
encourage
staff
if
this
motion
passes
to
look
at
reinvesting
that
20
into
local
media,
whether
it's
online
or
offline,
and
support
our
local
initiatives
thanks
Mr
Mayor.
Thank.
AE
I've
I've
been
listening
back
and
forth
to
this
in
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
I'm
willing
to
support
the
motion.
The
value
proposition
of
Facebook
is
that
you
can
go
to
Facebook
and
there
are
links
from
your
friends
to
articles
that
they
think
are
interesting
and
because
the
eyeballs
are
there
they're
drawing
the
ad
Revenue
so
that
there
is
Less
ad
Revenue
available
to
support
great
local
journalism.
All
of
us
have
seen
the
size
of
the
Ottawa
Citizen
shrink.
AE
AE
That
is,
bullying
and
I,
realize
that
it's
it's
it's
hard
for
the
city
to
say
we're
not
going
to
advertise
on
Facebook
anymore.
In
response
to
that,
because
it
is
so
effective.
All
of
us
know
a
lot
of
the
best
engagement
we
have
is
on
Facebook.
If
we
want
to
tell
a
lot
of
people
something
quickly,
we
go
to
Facebook
and
we
share
that
content,
but
we're
being
bullied
into
not
being
able
to,
and
we
can't
stand
for
that.
AE

Mayor,
suspension
of
the
rules
will
be
required
unless
the

mayor
is
of
the
opinion
that
there
is
new
information
that,
if
known
at
the
time
of
the
original
vote,
would
have
led
to
a
different
decision.
But,

found
that

declared

and
were
not

not
waived
for

have
paid
roughly
3.2
million
dollars
in

whereas
the
vut
is
the
only
tax

administered
by
the

Those

no

classified
as

with

Whereas
the
vut
report
approved
by
Council
in
2022,
the
document
established
the
vut
tax
in
Ottawa
stated
that
staff
attempted
to
estimate
the
number
of
properties
that
would
be
vacant
using
various
approaches
and
data
sources.
These
approach
approaches
all
suggest
that
the
number
of
vacant
properties
in
Ottawa,
subject
to
the
residential
vacant
unit
tax
would
be
between
0.5
percent
and
0.75
percent
of
the
335
30
000
eligible
units
in
Vancouver.
AB
One
percent
of
the
eligible
properties
are
subject
to
the
tax.
Toronto
expects
the
tax
to
apply
to
one
percent
of
their
units
using
Vancouver's
results
as
a
proxy
for
measurement
City
staff
adjusted
the
results
from
multiple
factors
such
as
the
balance
between
condo
apartment
units
and
single
dwellings,
whereas
further
within
that
support
staff
anticipated
a
vacancy
rate
of
0.5
percent,
citing
the
demographics
differences
of
the
auto
market
and
staff.
AB
Further
noted
the
property
speculation
has
not
been
as
prevalent
in
Ottawa
compared
to
Vancouver
and
Toronto,
whereas
Vancouver
recognizes
the
Canadian
city
with
the
most
serious
concerns
regarding
vacant
units
only
had
2
193
of
vacant
units
out
of
1
186
000
of
the
total
units,
roughly
one
percent
in
its
first
year
of
a
vot
and
whereas
Toronto's
vut
in
its
first
year
found
that
of
775
000
households.
Only
two
thousand
one
hundred
units
were
vacant
roughly
about
0.27
percent
with
city
staff's
data.
AB
That
still
leaves
Ottawa
with
a
vacancy
rate
of
somehow
250
percent
higher
than
staff's
predictions
contrasted
against
Vancouver
and
Toronto,
where
staff
overestimated
vacancy
rates
and
whereas
either
Ottawa
is
Canada's
most
vacant
city
by
orders
of
magnitude
or
more
realistically.
The
vut
is
being
improperly
applied
to
Ottawa.

How
important
it
is
for
the
city
of
Ottawa
to
offer
this
type
of
service
and
how
would
it
be
received
by
the
population?
I
think
this
is
a
very
important
project.
I
was
a
volunteer
in
mental
health
during
25
years,
I've
heard
repeatedly
the
deed
for
a
new
system,
an
alternative,

for

people
having

Yes,
so
for
the
mayor,
you
were
in

this
morning
for
Two

hours
in
in
this
was
about
LRT
in
February.
There
was
a
note
of
court
or
you
came
to
a
mutual
agreement
with
Studio
Transit
group,
and
so
I
was
just
a
bit
surprised
to
see
that
there
seems
to
be
still
legal
issues.
I
wonder
if
you
can
comment
on
that.
The
relationship
is
it
with

the
implications

They
don't
have
to
open
the
Queen
Elizabeth
Drive
all
day
long
every
day
they
can
have
some
changes
during
the
summer
period.
There
can
be
some
closures
during
the
weekend.
Let's
see
that
this.
If
there's
an
event
at
the
Lansdowne
Park,
we
have
to
have
a
fluid
circulation
everywhere
we
can
in
the
area.
Thank
you
so
much
City.
Whatever.
Y
C
But
there's
no
question
that
when
Queen
Elizabeth
Drive
is
closed
and
there's
a
big
event
at
Lansdowne
Park
there's
an
enormous
impact
on
traffic
in
the
area
we
see
traffic
going
on
to
residential
roads
in
the
in
the
neighborhood
and,
of
course,
more
traffic
on
Bank,
Street
and
so
I.
Don't
support
any
plan
to
permanently
close
Queen
Elizabeth
Drive
to
vehicles
I,
don't
support
anything
that
would
close
it
on
major
event
days.
C
Like
when
the
red
blacks
are
playing
or
whether,
when
there
are
other
events
like
the
rugby
match
last
weekend,
I
I
would
like
to
see
it
open
more
often
than
what
the
NCC
is
proposing,
because
it
has
huge
traffic
impacts
and
because,
by
my
observation
it
it
doesn't
really.
It
I'm
not
sure
how
necessary
it
is.
C
There's
great
Pathways
along
the
canal
on
both
sides
of
the
canal,
sometimes
on
both
sides
of
Queen
Elizabeth,
Drive,
there's
a
pathway
and
when
I
run
along
the
canal
and
when
I
travel
along
the
canal,
I
see
a
lot
of
people
using
those
Pathways
and
not
a
lot
of
people
using
the
road.
That's
been
closed
to
Vehicles.
That's
my
experience,
I!
Don't
they
may
have
data
that
shows
otherwise.
C
But
you
know
I,
said
I.
Don't
support
it
being
closed
when
there's
big
events
I
also,
don't
support
it
being
closed
when
there's
a
lot
of
construction
going
on
in
the
area.
So
there's
been
construction
on
Bronson
and
there's
been
construction
on
kernel
by
drive
and
when
you,
when
those
are
affected
and
we're
closing
Queen
Elizabeth
Drive,
it
just
adds
to
the
pressure
on
traffic
in
the
area.
C
C
So
I
want
to
hear
from
staff
on
on
how
many
people,
how
many
people
have
done
the
Declaration,
how
many
people
have
declared
their
properties
vacant,
what
kind
of
Revenue
that
produces
for
the
city
of
Ottawa,
that
much
of
which
will
go
to
affordable
housing
and
also
how
much
it's
costing
to
administer
the
program.
So
we
were
going
to
hear
back
from
staff
about
that
very
soon
anyway.
C
So
I
expect
we'll
hear
a
lot
of
information
from
staff
in
the
in
the
weeks
ahead
on
how
effective
the
program
has
been,
how
many
complaints
there
have
been.
You
know
there
was.
There
was
some
response
from
the
public
in
the
early
days
of
when
this
was
introduced.
But
my
understanding
is
that,
after
the
education
period,
the
a
huge
number
of
people
completed
their
declaration
and
there
was
not
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
concern
and
frustration
expressed
by
residents
after
that.
AR
C
AR
Thanks
very
much-
and
my
next
question
is
for
staff.
It's
about
the
Mental
Health
crisis
line,
so
I
understand
that
staff
have
been
looking
at
what's
happening
in
Toronto
with
this
I
know
that
when
they
did
their
first
review,
there
were
some
concerns
about
police,
not
forwarding
many
of
the
calls
to
to
the
Mental
Health
crisis
workers
to
ensure
that
they
were
being.
AR
AA
So
with
Clara
here,
I
can
jump
in
on
this.
Our
team
looked
at
Toronto
as
one
of
the
Cities
who
have
already
launched
a
similar
program.
Toronto
has
indicated
that
at
the
beginning
there
was
a
slow
uptake
and
and
partly
because
of
a
lack
of
awareness
or
understanding
of
what
the
program
really
offered.
As
that
awareness
was
built,
the
uptake
on
the
calls
increased
they're
now
receiving
about
80
calls
in
in
each
24
hours
and
they're
doing
that
in
conjunction
with
the
Police
Service
in
Toronto,
so
it
take.
AA
It
took
a
little
bit
of
time
for
both
the
non-profits
and
the
Toronto
police
to
work
together
to
establish
a
system
that
had
a
good
uptake
on
the
part
of
the
public
there
and
that's
exactly
what
we're
learning
from
for
our
program
here
in
Ottawa,
we
are
working
very
closely
with
the
Ottawa
Police
Service.
They
are
part
of
the
guiding
Council
on
mental
health
and
substance
use
as
we
are,
and
together
working
on
our
next
plan.
AF
Hi
there,
my
city
or
my
question-
is
also
for
Clara
Who's
online
about
the
Mental
Health
crisis
line,
so
I'm
wondering
if
Claire
could
elaborate
a
little
bit
more
on
how
many
mental
health
professionals
and
Social
Service
workers
the
city
is
looking
to
hire
and
what
qualifications
they
should
meet.
Yeah.
AA
AF
Okay,
thank
you
and
my
follow-up
question
is
obviously
there
was
motions
today
by
counselor
troster,
to
expedite
the
process
to
actually
get
this
in
place.
So
I'm
wondering
what
do
you
think
the
city
can
do
to
speed
up
this
process
and
have
an
alternate
response
to
these
situations
rather
than
police.
AA
So
some
some
of
the
things
thanks
for
that
question.
Some
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
to
expedite
is
to
not
have
to
reinvent
the
wheel
so
because
other
jurisdictions
have
already
come
out
out
of
the
gate
with
something
like
this
we're
going
to
be
leveraging
not
only
what
they've
learned,
but
also
some
of
the
tools
that
they
have
in
place.
So
things
like
job
descriptions,
call
protocols
and
other
things
that
we
can
pick
up
and
sort
of
duplicate.
AA
If
you
like,
but
learn
from
and
and
make
our
own,
we
don't
have
to
invent
that.
We
are
going
to
work
internally
around
our
procurement
and
legal
functions
to
expedite
those
functions
as
well
and
to
prioritize
and
then
finally
we're
looking
at
organizations
that
already
work
in
this
space.
So
organizations
like
two
on
one
in
the
distress
center
and
ensuring
that,
if
we're
going
out
with
a
procurement
that
those
organizations
are
aware
and
ready
to
apply,
should
they
should
they
want
to
do
that.
