C
Good
morning,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
if
I
can
ask
members
of
council
to
take
the
seat
and
members
the
public
to
take
the
seat,
we're
going
to
start
the
meeting
those
Roman
times
in
this
year
order,
please,
if
I
can
ask
members
of
the
public
to
please
take
a
seat
and
members
of
council
we're
going
to
start.
The
meeting.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
welcome
to
the
meeting
of
Wednesday
May
25th
be
every
night
Cole
same
as
Pat
levelled
up
the
waffle
events.
Thank
me,
Newman,
says
before
we
have
our
moment
of
reflection.
D
You
mr.
King-
and
we
always
just
knew
him
as
Bob-
came
on
council
with
me
in
March
Township
and
then
in
the
70s
I
served
for
several
terms
in
march
township
and
then
the
first
two
terms
of
the
city
of
Canada.
He
was
at
that
point
in
alder
memory.
We
still
had
aldermen
in
those
days,
one
of
the
things
that
he
did
was
he
and
his
family
together
actually
designed.
D
They
can
add
a
logo,
the
stylized
Maple
Leaf
with
the
K
on
the
side,
and
they
did
it
in
Kanata,
colors
of
green
and
brown
and
the
other
one
was
the
pathetic
committee
that
was
looking
at
it.
So
it's
a
nice
design,
we
don't
like
the
colors,
and
so,
if
you
look
today,
you'll
see
it
was
actually
silver
gray
and
burgundy
with
the
color
Lecter,
but
the
design
was
done
by
the
king
and
family.
Bob
was
a
lifetime
volunteer.
D
At
the
end,
he
was
volunteering
at
the
Queen's
marker
out
in
the
hospital
and
he
passed
away
very
suddenly
about
ten
days
ago,
I
was
at
this
junior
last
week
and
I
was
Chris's
condolences
to
his.
His
present
wife
rosemary
is
for
my
wife,
Mary
Lou
and
his
son,
Sean
and
and
Ian
so
I'd.
Like
turn
our
moment
of
silence,
Leigh
just
remember
Bob
and
the
service
he
did
to
God
just
to
come
out
of
it
to
the
whole
city.
Great.

As
many
of
you
know,
I
was
at
the
City
of
Vaughan
for
the
last
year
and
that
population
there
is
about
50%
Italian
descent,
as
is
the
workforce
in
the
city,
and
they
used
to
joke
when
I
got
up.
The
mayor
would
always
stand
up
and
say
we're
improving
our
diversity
here
in
Vaughan,
by
hiring
a
Greek
descent
to
fit
into
the
population.

don't
feel
so
lonely

to
ensure
a
safe
and
comfortable
place
for
residents
who
can
no
longer
live
independently.
Thank
you.

The
second
honorable

the
Ottawa
Public

illness
or
disability.
G
I
can
ask
you
if
I
can
ask
you
all
to
do
not
yell
to
come
down.
I'll
just
read

B
G
Congratulations
to
all
our
nominees
and
winners.
A
city
is
stronger
because
of
your
work
and
I
like
to
express
my
sincere
thanks
to
each
of
you
for
job
well
done
and
recognition
of
this
important
acknowledgement.
We
have
certificates
for
each
nominee
that
can
be
picked
up
right
outside
of
the
chambers.
Thank
you
very
much.
Everyone
for
attending
today.
C
Well,
congratulations
to
all
the
nominees!
Thank
you
all
very
much
for
being
with
us
today
and
for
the
good
work
that
you
do
on
behalf
of
all
citizens.
At
this
point,
I'd
like
to
call
on
my
our
colleague
at
councilor
caucus.
As
you
know,
councilor
caucus
was
appointed
as
our
special
liaison
for
Refugees
and
I
felt.
C
It
was
appropriate
that
we
have
an
update
from
councilor
caucus
on
the
activities
involving
our
new
residents
to
Ottawa
and
I,
also
thought
it
was
appropriate
that
he
bring
us
up
to
date
on
two
major
events
that
are
coming
up,
that
I
encourage
all
members
of
council
and
members
of
the
public,
we're
watching
us
here
in
the
chamber
or
on
television
to
attend.
So
we'll
just
allow
the
room
to
clear
for
a
moment
and
councillor
caucus
working
with
mr.
Burley
and
many
others
will
speak
in
just
a
moment.
C
I
Much
mr.
mayor,
I
thought
everybody
here
was
for
it
was
here
for
the
update,
but
I
guess
not
so
very
pleased
to
provide
a
update
to
colleagues
on
the
refugee
efforts
of
the
City
of
Ottawa,
and
we
have
a
PowerPoint
presentation
there.
So
we'll
walk
through
that
and
obviously
have
dr.
burrows,
been
the
lead
for
the
city
side
of
this
as
well.
Next
to
me
for
any
questions
at
the
end
of
the
presentation
start
off
with
a
quick
overview.
I
It's
important
to
highlight,
in
terms
of
the
Ottawa
context,
a
couple
of
items
and
before
I
do
that
I
think
we
should
always
emphasize
the
fact
that
immigration
and
refugees
are
a
federal
responsibility
and
the
role
that
the
city
has
been
playing
is
very
much
one
of
a
convener
facilitator
and
service
provider.
We've
started
up
refugee
six,
one
three,
that's
led
by
one
of
our
partners:
Louisa
Taylor
and
they've,
been
the
lead
on
the
communications
coordination
and
volunteer
efforts
as
well.
The
Catholic
Center
for
immigrants
is
the
federal
contractor
in
Ottawa,
so
Carl
Mickelson
I'm.
I
Sure
many
of
you
know
was
the
key
point
of
contact
for
those
folks
when
they
first
arrived
here,
they're
the
ones
that
put
them
initially
in
the
hotels
for
the
first
little
while
and
they
give
them
their
basic
information
like
their
health
cards,
their
OHIP
cards
and
all
that
basic
information
that
you
need
when
you
move
to
a
new
country
and
then
obviously
Carl
thanks
to
this
team
has
been
successful
in
housing.
Those
1,500
Syrian
refugees
that
have
arrived
in
Ottawa.
I
In
terms
of
the
fundraising
efforts,
we
worked
with
a
trusted
partner,
United
way
to
set
up
United
for
Refugees
and
very
pleased
to
our
report
that
we've
raised
under
a
million
dollars
over
a
short
period
of
time
and
we'll
have
some
announcements
coming
up
in
terms
of
where
those
dollars
are
going
for
our
partners
and
settlement
agencies
and
the
community
with
regards
to
the
service
providers.
Some
of
the
key
players
that
you
see
there
is
OSI
so
which
specializes
in
education
and
administers
ESL
courses,
buddy
programs,
as
well
as
services,
are
pertaining
to
mental
health.
I
The
Jewish
Family
Services
is
a
sponsorship
agreement
holder
and
they
as
well,
are
similar
to
the
Anglican
Diocese
and
work
with
private
sponsor
groups
to
sponsor
refugees.
And,
of
course
WorldSkills
is
the
organization.
That's
focused
on
employment
and
we
have
a
job
fair,
that's
coming
up
and
we'll
talk
about
that
later
in
the
presentation
terms
of
the
city's
efforts
to
date.
As
many
of
you
know,
the
mayor
started
the
working
group
shortly
after
the
public
forum
in
last
fall
and
I've
been
working
closely
as
quarterbacking
with
those
various
settlement
agencies.
I
We've
developed
many
internal
task
force
to
address
and
foresee
the
coming
issues
and
challenges
in
the
next
year.
I
want
to
highlight
some
of
the
important
work
that
Ottawa
Public
Health
has
been
doing,
facilitated
by
chair
Qadri
and
doctorís
levy
in
terms
of
being
really
proactive
and
I've
heard
a
lot
of
good
things
about
that
work
that
we're
doing
here
in
Ottawa
collaboratively
with
our
various
partners.
So
the
immunization
clinics,
Ottawa
Public
Health,
was
very
proactive
when
those
newcomers
first
arrived,
they
were
going
to
the
hotels.
I
I
On
slide
five,
we
talked
about
some
of
the
current
challenges,
as
many
of
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
barriers,
including
language
barriers.
A
lot
of
the
refugees
that
are
arriving
in
Ottawa
are
government
assisted
refugees,
although
the
the
most
vulnerable
part
that
is
coming
here
is
80,
90
percent
of
it
and
there's
lots
of
challenges
in
terms
of
language
barriers.
Not
only
do
they
not
speak
English,
but
a
good
number
of
them
don't
read
or
write
their
own
Arabic
language.
I
I
Of
course,
there
are
some
challenges,
because
a
lot
of
these
kids
have
not
because
of
the
war,
have
not
been
enrolled
or
not
used
to
that
kind
of
setting.
So
there's,
obviously
some
behavioral
and
health
challenges
that
come
with
that
and
being
able
to
be
enrolled
successfully
in
the
school
system.
Health
needs
as
well.
I
Obviously,
as
you
can
imagine,
coming
from
the
war
zone
and
having
loved
lived
through
all
that,
there
are
obviously
various
mental
health
needs
or
various
dental
needs,
as
well
as
physical,
we're
seeing
some
physical
disabilities
with
some
of
the
folks
that
are
coming
here
and
again
on
the
dental
front.
I
want
to
highlight
some
of
the
good
work
that
op8
staff
have
been
doing.
A
lot
of
these
families
have
not
been
to
a
dentist
in
their
life
and
I
know
dr.
I
birdies
volunteered
as
well,
some
of
his
time
to
help
with
the
treatment
and
I
visited
the
clinic
on
Merville
last
week
to
see
some
of
the
great
work
that
our
staff
have
been
doing
there
and
lots
of
people
stepping
up
from
the
private
sector
as
well
dentist
offering
to
treat
some
of
these
folks
in
their
own
clinics
and
also
taking
the
time
to
go
to
the
OPH
dental
clinics
to
help
these
refugees
in
terms
of
affordability.
Some
of
you
may
have
heard
about
the
spike
in
the
use
of
the
food
banks.
I
There's
no
question
about
it.
Just
like
any
family
here
in
Ottawa,
that's
on
social
assistance,
they're
gonna
be
finding
a
difficult
to
balance
the
books
at
the
end
of
the
month.
So
we've
seen
some
increase
on
the
men
for
food
banks
and
again
I
want
to
highlight
the
tremendous
support
that
we've
had
in
the
community.
I
know:
counselor
Tierney
pulled
off
a
last-minute
food.
Try
for
the
Gloucester
Food
Bank,
where
there's
close
proximity
to
the
Donald
towers,
where
some
of
the
refugees
have
been
housed.
I
Lack
of
systems-
knowledge,
as
you
can
imagine,
there's
a
lot
of
foreign
thanks
to
someone.
That's
coming
to
a
completely
different
country.
Some
of
the
challenges
that
you
see
with
basic
stuff,
like
the
use
of
ATM
machine
or
the
banking
system,
things
that
we
take
for
granted
or
that
second
nature
to
us.
The
time
and
the
volume
the
influx
of
refugees
that
have
arrived
has
made
it
a
bit
more
challenging
for
our
partners
in
the
community
to
be
able
to
take
the
time
in
terms
of
showing
the
proper
orientation
as
a
result
of
those
volumes.
I
Moving
forward
in
terms
of
the
medium
and
long
term
pressures,
there's
no
question
housing
and
the
portability
and
retention
of
housing
is
going
to
be
a
big
issue.
For
us.
The
average
market
rents
in
Ottawa
are
30%
higher
than
Ontario
shelter,
allowances
and
Ontario.
Works
rates
are
lower
than
the
refugee
assistant
program
rates
in
terms
of
youth.
Integration
were
very
much
focused
and
focused
on
those
efforts
in
terms
of
specific
summer
programs
that
will
be
occurring
in
refugee
six.
I
One
three
is
currently
in
the
process
of
mapping
summer
programs
and
services
for
youth
across
the
city
and
will
identify
the
gaps.
Obviously
again,
given
the
the
majority
of
the
newcomers.
Are
you
if
you
want
to
make
sure
they're
kept
busy
with
good
things
so
that
they
don't
go
on
the
wrong
path
in
terms
of
employability?
I
With
regards
to
transportation,
the
the
adults
are
funded
through
the
transit
Refugee
assistance
program,
but
their
children
are
not.
Funding
for
transit
will
cease
once
those
refugees
should
they
move
on
to
Ontario.
Works
I
also
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
here
to
highlight
the
many
OC
Transpo
drivers
who
have
been
volunteering,
their
time
to
drive
the
buses
and
to
move
large
amounts
of
newcomers
from
events
or
to
various
religious
organizations
and
community
happenings
that
are
I've,
been
having
not
alone.
I
I
want
to
thank
my
chair,
Leigh
and
manager,
John
Mahoney,
for
helping
facilitate
some
of
those
opportunities
with
OC
Transpo
on
slide
7.
We
move
into
the
big
issue
for
us
here
and
I'm
sure
many
of
you
heard
of
it
is
113
and
that's
when
the
federal
funding
ends
for
the
refugees
and
so
that's
when
they,
the
challenges
will
start
and
we'll
see.
Some
of
them
be
coming
on
to
the
social
assistance
in
the
province
and
which,
of
course,
we
start
getting
more
involved
there
and
that's
why
we
have
dr.
burry
here.
F
Thank
you.
One
of
the
things
that
we've
done
with
the
entire
initiative
has
been
very
proactive
in
terms
of
deploying
and
assisting
our
partner
organizations
I'd
like
to
thank
my
colleague,
Pierre
Poirier
and
his
group,
who
helped
with
logistics
and
a
lot
of
convening
of
meetings
particular
early
on,
so
that
we
had
a
very
clear
understanding
of
how
many
people
coming
when
we
were
coming
where
they
were
staying.
What
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
over
that
four
month,
their
team
is
actually
doing
something
that
we've
not
done
previously.
F
Typically,
federal
sponsored
or
refugees
are
largely
invisible
to
to
us
as
a
community
or
as
a
social
services
provider,
and
what
we're
doing
now
is
we're
working
very
proactive
to
be
ready
for
that
month.
Thirteen,
and
particularly
looking
at
those
individuals
who
may
need
to
transition
into
the
social
assistance
system.
We
know
that,
based
on
previous
history,
a
fair
number
will
continue
to
need
assistance,
even
if
they
work
approximately
10
to
15%
of
Ontario.
Works
recipients
do
work
and
they
do
have
income
in
addition
to
receiving
benefits.
F
So
we
are
tracking
those
individuals,
we're
looking
at
their
specific
needs
and
we
will
be
looking
at
enhanced
supports
throughout
the
beginning
in
the
fall
for
those
individuals
who
need
to
transition
into
those
systems
understand
how
they
work
with
the
primary
concern
being
that
the
total
amount
of
income
that
as
a
family
will
receive
will
likely
be
less
than
what
they
currently
save.
On
assistance.
With
respect
to
all
of
this,
we
are
planning
to
report
back
to
communion
Protective,
Services
Committee
in
in
september/october
timeframe,
with
a
lot
more
detail.
I
Thank
you
and
then.
Finally,
we
have
two
major
events
that
are
in
the
works.
The
first
one
is
coming
up
on
May
28th
and
that's
the
Welcome
event
for
Syrian
refugees.
So
it's
really
meant
to
welcome
all
the
newcomers
that
have
arrived
here
over
the
past
six
months
and
we
obviously
are
making
sure
that
we
invite
all
the
settlement,
agencies
and
the
private
sector
folks,
everyone
that's,
really
stepped
up
to
a
plate
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
people
that
have
helped.
I
This
is
really
an
initiative,
that's
about
the
city
together,
and
we
really
want
to
thank
all
of
those
people
that
have
been
involved
in
helping
the
newcomers
settle
and
feel
welcomed
and
integrated
in
our
city.
The
next
event,
that's
coming
up
too,
is
on
June
16th
and
that's
the
pathways
to
employment.
I
So
again,
we're
working
with
WorldSkills
and
are
partners
around
the
table
to
host
a
job
fair
at
City
Hall,
and
you
know
we're
really
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
do
a
lot
of
the
pre
clinics
in
advance
to
make
sure
that
the
folks
that
are
gonna
be
there
are
actually
going
to
be
matched
to
the
jobs
that
they
need
and
to
make
sure
we
understand
the
demographics
of
the
folks
that
are
coming
as
well
as
set
the
expectations
for
both
the
employers
and
potential
employees.
So
that's
that's
it
in
a
nutshell.
C
C
If
you
can
come
to
one
or
two
of
those
events,
the
Welcome
session
at
the
Aberdeen
Pavillion
or
the
job
fair
I
think
it
would
show
our
continued
interest
in
the
well-being
of
these
men,
women
and
children
that
are
new
residents
to
our
city.
So
thank
you
very
much.

The

adopt

or

The
OHS
may
Denise
says
this
is
a
motion
moved
by
Councillor
Ocean
Theory
seconded
by
Councillor
Tierney
that
will
deal
with
now
councillor
lsanty.
If
you'd
like
to
present
your
motion,
and
we
very
much
appreciate
the
council's
desire
to
have
you
here
to
speak
to
it
in
your
capacity
as
chair,
the
police
service
sports
over
the
floor
is
yours.
Thank.
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr.
Mann,
and
thanks
to
my
colleague
for
a
postponement
this
to
this
meeting.
Mr.
mayor,
this
motion
is
it's
not
unique?
It's
been
introduced
in
other
major
city
in
the
province
and
to
put
it
in
a
contact.
This
is
not
to
eliminate
pay
duty.
As
you
know,
our
city,
our
Police
Service,
receive
almost
7
million
dollars
and
pay
duties
in
2015.
J
This
is
talking
about
a
small
portion
of
what
what
we
call
is
the
Highway
Traffic
Act,
section
7,
where
we
are
asking
the
province
through
this
council
to
allow
other
than
police
officer
at
the
traffic
section.
Basically,
the
Act
today
reads
within
30
meter
from
intersection.
A
police
officer
should
be
present
if
any
construction
work
be
done
and
this
corner
so
internally
the
city
pay
o-p-s
last
year,
1
million
for
six
thousand
four
hundred
and
one
dollar.
J
J
So
this-
and
this
is
really
to
to
give
us
a
little
bit
more
flexibility
and
it's
not
to
take
away
the
responsibility
from
the
police
that,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
to
help
the
police
to
be
focused
more
on
police
work
versus
standing
on
the
side
of
the
road
one.
The
light
bob
bit
changed
on
a
traffic
light
or
for
a
street
light.
That's
what
this
is
really
talked
about
and
I
heard
all
the
construction
company
normally
pay
for
this.
The
city
does
not
that's
not.
J
What
we're
talking
here
about
this
is
specifically
the
city
internally
has
paid
the
police
there's
a
list
I
have
where
other
construction
company
have
charged
the
city
as
additional
to
the
construction
war,
and
that's
not
what
we're
talking
about
here,
because
that,
once
we
amend
the
highway
traffic
F,
then
we'll
have
the
flexibility
to
see
if
we
need
to
make
it
changes
or
review
whether
the
situation
required
a
police
officer
and
a
cruiser
or
not.
So
this
is
something
we've
been
looking
for
for
quite
some
times
and
I.
Think
that's
one.
J
If
they're,
the
second
complaint
we
receive,
one
driver
pass,
take
a
picture
of
a
police
officer
standing
at
the
corner,
really
doing
nothing
because
they
just
have
to
be
there,
because
the
Highway
Traffic
Act
asked
them
to
be
there.
So
I'm.
Looking
for
your
support
and
also
I'm,
looking
for
your
support,
mr.
mayor
to
to
work
with
the
art
colleague
and
provincial
legislation
to
expedite
the
amendment
to
the
Highway
Traffic
Act,
because
I
think
that
will
benefit
a
lot
of
municipality
including
ours.
Thank
you,
Samir.
Thank
you.
C
Others
on
this
issue,
I
just
offer
a
comment.
I
know
that
Minister
Naqvi
I
believe
will
this
motion
that
counts.
Joseon,
Tyrion,
councillor
T,
near
tyranny
of
brought
forward
because
I
to
receive
complaints
all
the
time
from
people
the
cost
of
having
a
full-fledged
first-class
police
officer,
doing
basically
parade
duty
and
these
parades,
as
you
know,
all
nonprofit
and
they're
charged
for
police
costs.
C
In
many
instances
the
police
costs
are
the
most
expensive
part
of
things
like
you
know,
Dickenson
days
and
mana
tick,
that's
coming
up
this
weekend
or
the
Pride
Parade
or
other
activities
and
I
know.
Councillor
Manette
has
been
at
the
forefront
of
helping
to
create
the
auxilary
service,
there's
also
a
role
for
the
exhilarate
expand,
because
many
of
these
parades
do
not
require
an
officer.
You
know
fully
trained
to
do.
C
C
Certainly,
if
it's
passed,
I
know
I'm
going
to
be
in
Toronto
I
believe
for
one
day
this
week
to
meet
with
some
ministers
and
I
will
raise
this
and
actively
support
it,
because
it
certainly
has
the
support
of
many
other
municipalities
and
including
a
MoU
as
well
so
on
the
motion
carried
thank
you
councilors
ocean
theory
and
tyranny.
The
next
item
on
our
agenda
is

We're
just

We

I'd,
ask
the

So
the
procedural
work
is
sad
because
that
a
bio
counselor
flurry
please.
E
Mr.
Noblet,
you
know
good
afternoon
I
would
like
to
attendance
of
some
of
our
board
members.
Obviously
we
have
members
of
council
that
sit
on
och
board,
councillor
medic
councillor,
Taylor
counsel,
McKinney
and
myself.
We're
also
joined
by
board
members
that
are
sitting
right
behind
me
here.
Kayla
do
serve.
We
have
because,
as
well
code
Lloyd
Sarah
camp
can
be
teased
and
appending
at
today's
council.
Approval
will
also
have
Monica
frenzy
who's
joined
us
as
well
and
I'll
vomit
a
twist
yeah
twists.
E
You've
heard
me
say
this
quite
often
that
och
is
the
biggest
landlord
in
the
city
with
over
32,000
residents,
15,000
units,
an
average
H
stock
of
48
years
old
2015
was
an
important
year
for
us,
under
the
leadership
of
a
CEO
with
three
key
things.
In
my
mind.
Obviously,
the
portfolio
management
framework
that
many
members
of
council
have
heard
me
speak
about
having
all
the
facts
on
our
property.
That's
that's
really
the
work
that
was
undertaken
in
year,
2015
and
and
we're
already
showing
key
partnerships
that
are
established
as
part
of
that
program.
E
Obviously,
the
maintenance
standard
review,
including
the
approach
to
pest
management
and
then
the
foundational
document
that
can
lead
us
for
the
next
10
years
as
our
strategic
plan
with
key
yearly
objectives
to
meet
for
us
now
should
pass
I'm
a
pity.
I
will
give
here.
They
see.
Oh
the
flooring
a
few
minutes.
Any
housing
is
well
positioned
in
the
sector
with
firmly
positioned
to
be
ready
if
there
are
new
private
partnerships.
E
A
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
your
worship,
deputy
mayor
council
members,
thank
you
for
having
us
today
from
Ottawa
community
housing
2015
has
been
a
year
where
Ottawa
community
housing
has
finalized
the
blueprint
that
will
guide
our
actions
for
the
years
to
come
and
in
order
to
provide
you
further
material,
there's
also
reference
in
the
comprehensive
look
och
operation
that
was
delivered
to
you,
so
invite
you
to
also
look
at
those
documents.
Here's
what
you
will
find
will
be
an
executive
summary,
creating
more
sustainable
communities
to
reduce
cost
and
environmental
footprint
is
a
long-standing
commitment
of
och.
A
Many
successors
associated
with
the
implementation
of
a
more
ecologically
friendly
and
inclusive
approach,
have
enabled
och
to
innovate
and
gradually
transform
its
operation
and
its
portfolio
with
an
aging
portfolio
using
only
the
traditional
retain
and
maintain
is
no
longer
sufficient.
This
is
why
a
new
portfolio
management
framework
was
developed
to
certain
management
of
our
properties
and
assets
by
implementing
a
holistic,
strategic
and
long
term
view
of
the
current
housing
stock
and
also
leveraging
technologies
and
relying
on
strong
data
analyzes.
A
For
example,
in
2015
we
saw
the
built
to
your
properties,
the
expansion
of
Mitchell
Heights
and
the
rebuild
of
Haiti
courts.
The
the
retrofit
measures
also
generated
benefits,
such
as
the
phase
2
of
the
LED
retrofit
program.
In
conjunction
with
the
City
of
Ottawa,
we
serve
20,000
Flores
fluorescent
lamps
being
replaced
with
LEDs,
reducing
och
costs
by
30%.
The
water
retrofit
continues
to
generate
millions
of
dollars
of
cost
avoidance
each
and
every
year
for
our
community
housing
all
reinvested
in
our
capital
repairs.
Very
important.
A
Och
remains
committed
to
deliver
to
delivering
quality
services
with
a
focus
on
the
tenant
experience.
Tenant
experience
is
the
client
experience
a
tenant
satisfaction
survey
was
conducted
in
three
areas
in
2015
the
homes,
the
community
and
the
services.
The
overall
satisfaction
score
was
75
percent.
The
survey
has
allowed
och
to
now
focus
on
key
areas
that
are
relevant
and
important
for
our
tenants.
Och
also
launched
a
new
website,
a
website
that
improve
accessibility
and
communication
to
our
tenants
in
multiple
languages.
Very
important
to
recognize
here
in
2015
or
CH
continue
to
foster
collaborative
partnerships.
A
We
work
with
private
sector
with
agencies
different
groups,
and
this
is
to
enable
our
capacity
to
deliver
a
healthier
and
safer
communities.
These
included
a
letter
of
agreement
between
all
of
our
community
housing
and
Ottawa
police
services,
from
promoting
communication
and
collaboration
between
the
agencies.
The
counting
ten'
health
resource
partnership
is
another
interesting
one
for
och,
which
will
lead
to
create
a
hub
and
providing
42
new
homes
to
older
adults
combined
with
a
medical
clinic.
A
The
community
voluntary
participation
rates
has
also
increased
in
2015
by
26%
up
to
a
thousand
volunteers
coming
in
our
communities,
helping
us
delivering
better
quality
of
life
to
our
tenants,
their
arms
as
well.
We
have
now
also
an
employee
volunteer
program
that
we
have
deployed
our
capacity
to
deliver
our
strategic
goals
and
quality
services
to
tenants
realize
on
our
people,
people
they
are
here,
leaders
and
it's
very
important
and
employee
survey
as
measure
the
overall
engagement
rating
and
shown
a
7%
increase
since
2012.
A
Again,
our
staff
och
and
our
tenants
were
also
recipients
of
corporate
awards
and
recognition
in
the
sector,
showing
and
demonstrating
that
we
are
a
leader
in
the
sector
of
our
housing
and,
very
importantly,
also
demonstrating
the
capacity
to
deliver
on
the
goals
that
our
Sharon
spoke
about
earlier.
Together,
we
work
to
operate
within
budget
through
operational
efficiencies.
Och
was
able
to
contribute
to
an
additional
six
hundred
and
fifty
four
thousand
dollars
to
our
reserves.
A
A
They
are
aligning
the
tenants
needs
and
services
ensuring
that
they
are
well
aligned,
nurturing
their
communities,
building
stronger
communities,
managing
properties
and
money
differently
and
creating
a
culture
where
people
are
inspired
to
lead
and
continuously
improve
as
a
second
largest
social
and
affordable
housing
provider
in
Ontario,
och
continues
to
innovate
and
be
recognized
as
a
leader
in
the
sector.
We
remain
on
track
to
build
a
strong
future
for
the
tenants.
We
are
thankful
that
our
shareholder,
the
City
of
Ottawa
for
being
an
engaged
partner
on
many
many
fronts.
A
F
E
You,
your
worship
and
thank
you
both
councillor,
flurry
and
Monsieur
for
your
presentation,
your
presentation,
you
highlighted
the
Carlington
project
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
for
Council
and
I,
know
councillor
Leeper
your
support
as
well,
that
this
is
a
great
initiative.
A
hub
project
has
our
full
support,
two
quick
questions
about
what
I've
read
in
the
report.
One
is
just
about
the
no-smoking
in
the
units
I
note
that
in
your
report
you
talked
about
a
no-smoking
policy
that
went
into
effect
May
of
2014.
E
A
So
two
elements:
there's
two
folds
to
your
question.
The
first
one
is
that
there's
a
conversion
happening
at
the
lease
and
a
renewal
of
the
lease.
As
you
pointed
out,
the
second
one
is
the
opt-in
as
well.
So
we
have
tenants.
Opting
in
the
ratio
is
lower,
obviously
than
the
one
that
they
are
related
to
the
lease
agreement,
but
the
lease
agreement
is
definitely
the
one
that
is
actually
increasing
the
rate
and
the
take
rate
on
the
non-smoking.
Okay,.
E
Thank
you
and
my
other
question
is
regarding
your
occupancy
rate,
which
is
very
high.
Ninety
eight
point:
nine
percent
is
the
difference
between
your
occupancy
rate
and
100
percent,
which
is
just
one
point.
One
percent
is
that
the
the
time
difference
between
when
the
tenant
leaves
and
when
you
actually
have
to
renew
the
unit.
The.
A
Answer
is
yes,
it
takes
about
usually
anywhere
between
thirty
to
sixty
days
to
the
unit
turnovers,
depending
on
the
conditions,
and
sometimes
also
we
have
situation
where
we
have
to
renew
the
entire
owner
of
the
tenants
so
for
different
reason.
So
again
we
take
that
time
also
to
do
retrofits
as
well.
So
that
way
we
can
go
on
a
going-forward
basis
aiming
towards
efficiencies
on
the
homes
as
well
that
they
are
now
left
by
tenants.
Okay,.
C
You
councillor
any
other
questions
to
the
president
of
the
chair.
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
so

the

31st
2015
for
transit
service
that
gets
yelled
approve,
are
received,
low-income
transit
pass.
We
have
a
motion
so
we'll
come
back
for
that
as
well,
and
then
we
have
bulk
consent
agenda.
I
believe
this
is
the
leanest
boat
consent
agenda.
We've
ever
had
one
item
on
it.
C
Does
anyone
wish
to
remove
the
one
item
on
the
boat
consent
agenda
as
presented
carried
all
right?
So
we'll
come
back
to
our
first
item,
where
we
have
a
motion.
This
is
on
the
proposed
capital
region,
resource
recovery
center,
councillor,
Ernest
Shenko.
If
you'd
like
to
introduce
your
motion
seconded
by
Councillor
McKenney,
please
thank.
H
You
very
much
this
was
an
item
that
needs
to
say,
has,
has
generated
and
and
did
a
committee
meeting,
some
considerable
input
and
concern
from
members
of
the
community.
The
motion
here
is
putting
into
appropriate
legal
language
direction
that
was
given
to
staff
stemming
out
of
some
of
the
concerns
that
we
heard
I
will
skip
the
whole
range
of
of
we're
asses.
There
are
three,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
items
the
City
Council
approved
the
addition
of
the
following
comments.
D
The
question
mr.
mayor,
we
didn't
have
these
brought
forward
at
the
time
that
we'd
heart
brown
Phil
is
being
done,
which
has
similar
concerns,
and
these
it
looks
to
me
like
this
being
done
to
hold
up
one,
which
is
in
the
location
that
the
city
was
actually
looking
at
using
one
time.
It's
not
near
residential
areas,
whereas
this
council
will
prove
one
when
there's
lots
of
people
living
near
it.
So
I
just
don't
know
how
they're
going
to
do.
D
Don't
think
this
is
a
right
location
for
doing
it,
and
I
would
really
like
to
see,
because
I
think
this
is
not
actually
to
do
with
the
landfill
in
itself
as
much
as
it
is
a
general
policy
statement,
I'd
like
to
see
Pepsi.
If
this
particular
motion
could
be
referred
to
the
Environment
Committee
to
look
at
making
it
a
generic
motion
and
not
tied
to
this
particular
project,
so
I
would
move
that
this
motion
itself
thought
the
pall,
not
the
whole
item.
But
just
the
motion
be
referred
to
the
Environment
Committee
for
of.
C
So
the
motion
is
to
refer
to
the
Environment
Committee.
Just
remember
it's
the
chair,
the
Environment
Committee!
That's
brought
it
forward
to
us
today,
so
it
would
seem
a
little
bizarre
to
send
it
back
the
Environment
Committee
yeah.
So
if
you
want
to
write
the
motion
of
councilor
and
Sangha
by
councilor
Qadri,
so
we're
on
now
the
motion
to
refer
councilor
blade,
the
ward
councillor
on
referral.
C
C
E
You
very
much
mr.
mayor,
it's
my
understanding
that
in
fact,
these
three
requests
that,
in
the
original
motion,
if
they
were
to
be
adopted,
were
in
fact
the
directions
provided
by
the
Environment
Committee
to
staff
at
the
Environment
Committee
meeting
and
they're
simply
being
formalized
in
the
appropriate
legislative
language.
I
do
not
believe
that
it.
E
It
requires
that
these
things
come
into
place
only
for
one
particular
proposal.
It
says
before
such
a
proposal
is
approved.
Do
these
things
and
I
believe
the
intent
is
to
do
these
things,
province-wide
and
specifically
the
city
to
have
certain
authorities
over
I,
see
and
I
in
C
and
D,
which
has
been
the
policy
of
this
council
for
a
very
long
time.
E
I
would
also
argue
frankly
that,
while
yes,
Carlsbad
Springs
is
not
as
populated
as
part
as
carp,
there
are,
in
fact
people
who
live
nearby
and,
frankly
counselor
you
insulted
them,
especially
those
members
who
are
here
today
who
are
against
this
facility
being
built
near
their
homes.
I,
don't
think
this
needs
to
go
back
to
Environment
Committee,
to
discuss
the
specifics
of
the
of
the
items
of
the
motion.
I
think
generally,
those
have
been
council
policy
for
quite
some
time.
E
H
Thank
you
very
much
following
up
on
councillor
Blais
comments,
there's
no
question:
these
were
the
results
of
the
debate
and
the
direction
that
was
given
at
committee.
The
city
has
already
submitted
a
long
list
of
comments,
or
has
already
done
so.
These
are
simply
an
addition
of
three
additional
concerns
that
are
quite
clearly
in
response
to
those
of
the
neighbors
who
have
expressed
these
concerns,
as
well
as
others
who
came
out
and
raised
these
points.
H
H
D
D
D
D
So
I
think
we
need
to
refer
it
in
order
to
make
it
a
citywide
policy,
as
opposed
to
tying
it
to
one
location.
The
principles
in
here
are
citywide
they're,
not
tied
to
one
particular
landfill.
Thank
you,
and
the
motion
says
that
just
that
motion
referred
to
the
Environment
Committee
to
be
discussed
in
a
broader
policy
statement.
Hey.
C
Thank
you.
So
this
is
moved
by
councillor
Wilkins
and
second
by
councillor.
Claude
Lee
I
would
ask
members
of
council
to
listen
to
councillor
bleh
who's,
the
ward
councillor
and
councillor
mishchenko,
who
was
the
chair
of
the
committee.
The
bees
were,
in
essence
the
reflected
directions
from
committee
that
should
be
captured
in
writing
in
essence,
so
that
the
ministry
is
clear
on
our
position
so
I
urge
you
not
to
refer
this
back
to
Environment
Committee.
It
just
came
from
Environment
Committee,
so
yeas
and
nays
plays
on
referral.
K
I
J
C
C
So
that
motion
is
defeated,
so
we're
back
now
with
the
China
Shenko
McKenney
motion.
Does
anyone
else
wish
to
speak
to
the
amendment
or
the
report
at
this
point?
So
on
the
amendment
carried
on
the
report
as
amended
carried?
Thank
you.
The
next
item
that's
been
held
is
the
low-income
transit
pass.
The
councilor
Dean's
has
a
motion
that
she
would
like
to
move
at
this
point:
counselor
Dean's,
okay,.
K
We're
very
much
mr.
mayor,
I'll,
just
read
the
motion
first
and
then
briefly
speak
to
it,
whereas,
although
the
transit
Commission's
recommendation
that
the
government
of
Ontario
provide
funding
for
a
low-income
transit
pass
is
a
good
first
step
in
helping
to
provide
affordable
transportation
for
those
members
of
our
community
living
below
the
low
income.
Cutoff.
K
The
issue
of
transportation
for
those
individuals
and
families
requires
a
broader
approach
and
whereas
the
province
of
Ontario
provides
limited
transportation
benefits,
making
access
to
public
transit
unaffordable,
even
at
a
discounted
rate
for
the
majority
of
individuals
who
receive
benefits
through
the
provincial
program
in
the
Ontario
Disability
Support
Program.
And
whereas
even
if
a
low-income
transit
pass
was
funded
by
the
province
and
adopted
by
Ottawa
City
Council.
K
There
would
be
hurdles
for
low-income
residents
being
able
to
afford
a
pass
because
transit
is
not
defined
as
Manitou
mandatory
benefit
by
the
province
and
whereas
their
additional
transportation
hurdles
for
those
low-income
individuals
and
families
who
live
live
in
areas
that
are
not
served
by
public
transit,
for
example.
Otherwise,
world
communities
or
who
live
in
underserved
areas
were
those
who
work
shift
worker
overnight
who's
commuting
hours
to
not
align
with
the
transit
services
in
their
neighbourhoods
and
where
a
low-income
transit
pass
would
not
be
of
help.
K
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that,
in
addition
to
requesting
that
the
province
provide
funding
for
a
low-income
transit,
pass,
City
Council
also
requests
that
the
government
of
Ontario
as
part
of
its
commitment
to
transform
social
assistance
in
Ontario
consider
instituting
a
mandatory
transit
and
transportation
benefit
for
Ontario
Works
in
Ontario,
Disability,
Support,
Programme
recipients
and
mr.
mayor
just
to
speak
to
this.
Briefly.
Two
weeks
ago,
we
heard
at
Transit
Commission
this
strong
desire
to
create
a
low-income
transit
pass
for
residents
of
Ottawa.
K
We
heard
from
delegations
about
all
of
the
positive
impacts
this
would
have
on
their
lives,
and
we
also
heard
from
staff
about
the
cost
of
implementing
such
a
pass
in
an
effort
to
better
serve
low-income
individuals.
The
Commission
passed
a
motion
asking
that
the
province
provide
funding
for
this
no
low-income
pass.
While
we
would
absolutely
welcome
this
partnership
with
the
province,
I
feel
as
chair
of
the
community
and
Protective
Services
Committee,
that
we
have
a
duty
to
provide
for
all
low-income
residents
and
that
the
request
does
not
go
far
enough
at
this
time.
K
The
province
does
not
include
transit
or
transportation
as
a
benefit
under
the
ODSP
and
Oh
W
programs.
This
means
that
even
if
a
low-income
pass
is
available
through
OC
Transpo,
many
individuals
living
under
the
low
income
cutoff
could
still
not
afford
to
purchase
a
pass
each
month.
For
this
reason,
I'm
asking
that
council
requests
that
the
province,
in
addition
to
providing
funding
for
the
past,
also
Institute
a
mandatory
transit
and
transportation
benefit
for
od
as
pn
o
w
recipients
and
mr.
mayor,
let's
be
clear.
K
Social
assistance
is
clearly
within
the
purview
of
the
provincial
government,
and
this
is
a
very
important
element
for
many
low-income
residents
in
our
community.
So
when
we
make
the
quest
request
to
the
province,
we
should
make
sure
that
it's
a
request
that
will
benefit
those
that
we
seek
to
serve.
Thank
you
right.
C
Social
services
are
a
responsibility
of
the
province
and
they
should
take
that
responsibility
and
they've
admitted
as
much
because
they
signed
the
upload
agreement
which
took
all
the
social
service
costs
off
the
property
tax
payer
and
broader,
where
it
should
be
to
Queens
Park.
So
I
think
this
is
timely
and
in
good
compatibility
with
item
8
from
the
Transit
Commission.
So
on
councillor.
Dean's
motion
comments,
care
on
the
motion.
Carry
on
the
motion
as
amended
all
right.
Thank
you.
C
Next
is
disposition
of
items
approved
by
committees
under
delegated
authority
sweet
that
done.
It
is
LT
clarity,
Fiat
Palio
Committee
on
felt
suit
approval.
Deleg
a
received
motion
to
adopt
reports.
Motional
Prokhorov
shown
that
up
all
council
early
Persinger
by
councillor
Moffitt
mayor
I'll,
move
that.
C
K
K
And
whereas
the
month
of
June
is
recognized
by
the
province
of
Ontario
is
a
news
month.
Therefore,
it
was
odd
that
I
was
City.
Council
declared
June
2016
to
be
seniors
month
in
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
I'll.
Just
speak
very
briefly,
mr.
mayor,
it's
not
a
secret
that
as
age
demographics
in
Canada
shift,
more
and
more
of
our
population
will
be
made
up
of
seniors.
Seniors
are
one
of
the
fastest-growing
population
groups
in
Canada.
That
shift
in
population
will
be
highly
visible
for
us
at
the
municipal
level.
K
K
That's
why,
as
the
co-chair
of
the
seniors,
roundtable
and
share
of
the
community
and
Protective
Services
Committee
I'm
an
advocate
for
the
seniors,
not
only
in
the
community
of
Gloucester
Southgate
that
I
represent,
but
for
all
seniors
in
Ottawa
we're
making
changes
to
the
accessibility
of
city
buildings
and
our
road
intersections,
recruiting
fitness
programs
geared
towards
seniors
and
we're
improving
access
to
snow
removal
and
dental
health
for
low-income
residents.
Seniors
are
a
priority
in
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
I'm.
Very
proud
of
that
I
know.
All
of
council
is
very
proud
of
that.
K
I'd
also
like
to
acknowledge
the
many
seniors
who
have
been
instrumental
in
building
our
city
many
seniors
devote
hours
each
week,
volunteering
for
our
community
through
schools,
community
association
events
and
charities,
for
example
at
the
Greenville
Community
Center
in
my
ward.
There's
a
fantastic
group
of
seniors
who
volunteer
every
day
for
the
funds
of
the
Ottawa
Public
Library
Association
use
bookstore.
Without
them
the
bookstore
wouldn't
exist.
C
H
This
motion-
aye
I,
say
this
in
the
in
the
most
positive
way,
is
a
symbolic
motion
that
stems
from
a
national
movement
of
citizens
who
would
like
to
see
environmental
health.
Environmental
rights
have
stronger
legal
protection
and
are
simply
calling
on
cities
to
endorse
this
blue
dot
movement
and
in
its
motion,
I
was
asked
by
a
few
councillors
that,
or
perhaps
it
was
suggested
that
if
I
didn't
read
the
entire
motion,
this
might
be
more
favorably
received
and
I
have
no
need
to
read
the
entire
motion.
H
I'll
just
highlight
the
key
pieces,
so
the
blue
dot
movement
is
calling
upon
municipalities
to
adopt
declarations
recognizing
their
residents
right
to
a
healthy
environment
and
calling
for
action
from
provincial
and
federal
governments
to
strengthen
environmental
rights
legislation.
It
is
that
it's
calling
on
other
levels
of
government
to
strengthen
that
legislation,
therefore
be
a
resolved
section.
I
will
highlight
that
the
city
of
Otto
I
declare
that
its
residents
have
a
right
to
live
in
a
healthy
environment.
H
I
draw
attention
to
the
fact
that
130
Canadian
municipalities
in
11,
provinces
and
territories
have
already
adopted
the
declaration,
including
Halifax,
Montreal,
Vancouver,
Toronto
and
Vancouver,
and
also
draw
attention
to
the
fact
this
does
not
tie
us
to
additional
expenditures
or
any
legal
requirements.
I
think
it
highlights
a
lot
of
the
good
work
we
are
doing,
but
does
encourage
us
at
the
city
to
to
keep
it
up.
Thank
you.
F
This
declaration
would
shift
that
policymaking
to
the
courts
were
unelected
and
unaccountable,
and
although
this
kind
of
shift
is
kind
of
popular
or
has
become
kind
of
popular
over
the
past
couple
of
years,
it
isn't
one
that
serves
democracy
very
well.
The
assumption
here
is
that
the
courts
will
always
pick
something
that
is
stronger
for
the
environment
than
the
elected
people
would
choose
and
I
think
the
history
of
court
decisions
does
not
support
that.
So,
in
a
democracy,
policy
setting
is
supposed
to
sit
with
the
elected
people
and
therefore
with
residents
and
the
voters.
F
E
You,
mr.
mayor,
it's
good
to
see
the
counselor
strategist
from
the
street
Malcolm
Gladwell's,
the
outliers
I,
think
it's
it's
quite
clear
from
what
councilor
true
Shenko
said.
The
co-sponsor
of
this
motion,
along
with
myself,
that
that
this
is
something
that
many
many
cities
many
many
provinces
have
supported
and
contrary
to
what
counsel
shirali
said
and
what
I
suspect
councillor
feebly
might
say
in
a
few
minutes,
this-this-this
motion
to
me
simply
recognizes
the
good
work
that
our
city
is
already
doing
it.
E
It
reaches
out
to
the
other
levels
of
government
and
yes,
possibly
to
the
court
system
to
say,
look
at
what
we're
doing.
We
want
to
maintain
that
good
service
for
our
residents.
We
want
to
make
sure
going
forward
that
we
continue
to
provide
good
environmental
services
to
our
residents
as
I.
Think
is
our
job
and
that's
all
it
really
does
it
states
we're
doing
a
good
job.
We
want
to
continue
to
do
a
good
job
and
want
to
work
with
as
many
levels
of
government
and
the
court
system
to
make
sure
that
continues.
E
So
I
think
this.
This
enhances
the
good
work
that
our
city
is
doing.
It
will
make
it
better
going
forward
and,
along
with
a
hundred
and
thirty-odd
cities
and
and
and
the
number
of
provinces,
I
think
it's
the
right
thing
to
do.
I
think
it's
the
pragmatic
thing
to
do
and
I
think
it
sends
a
very
positive
message,
so
I'll
be
supporting
this
motion.
F
Thank
you
counseling.
Thank
you
very
much,
deputy
mayor
I
think
counselor
I'd
like
for
his
comments,
but
no
that's
not
what
I'm
about
to
say.
I'm
surprised
that
council
arregla
wants
the
support
of
motion
from
David
Suzuki,
who
creates
more
greenhouse
gases
than
any
one
of
your
residents,
and
that's
well
documented
in
the
media,
so
I
I
don't
look
to
this
gentleman
for
any
leadership
on
real
change
in
the
environment.
My
concern
here
with
this
motion,
however,
is
we're
already
doing
a
lot
of
this.
F
We
are
water
comes
out
and
I
think
we
have
to
give
thanks
to
our
the
city
staff
for
the
good
work
they're
doing
here.
Water
comes
out
in
all
10
categories
as
measured.
It
comes
out
at
the
top
every
year,
consistently
we're
doing
very,
very
good
at
supplying
drinking
water.
This
council
and
the
previous
council
has
made
significant
investments
in
our
waste
management
to
how
we
handle
our
sewers.
Upgrading
our
sewers
and
storm
water
features
and
I
think
we're
setting
a
very
good
example
by
our
actions.
F
So
I
don't
see
the
need
for
I'm
sorry,
I'm
gonna
forget
the
the
word
that
counsel
shared
Shenko
used,
but
I'll
insert
pandering,
but
I
think
you
had
a
better
word
for
for
this
motion.
So
I'm
surprised.
We
need
to
do
this,
I
think.
Instead,
what
we
should
be
doing
is
promoting
what
we
have
accomplished,
how
we,
as
a
city,
have
reduced
our
greenhouse
gases
and
our
buildings
and
our
fleets
and
all
the
different
ways
that
we're
doing
better
for
our
environment
and
so
therefore,
I
can't
support
the
motion.
Thank
you,
deputy
mayor.
D
You
mr.
chair
I
think
this
is
basically
a
statement
of
principle.
I
agree
with
councilor,
really
we
are
doing
a
lot
of
these
things
already.
We
have
Bills
of
Rights
and
various
other
things
in
Canadian
policy
and
having
a
statement
of
principle
which
what
this
is
is
not
a
bad
thing
to
have
in
our
record,
because
we
do
have
very
good
air
right
now,
most
of
the
time,
but
we
may
not
always
have
it.
We
have
clean
water.
D
We
want
to
keep
it
that
way
and
all
the
other
things
that
are
in
here
so
I,
don't
I
think
we
have.
We
should
let
people
know
what
our
principles
are
and
that's
what
this
is
and
to
not
say
this.
It's
almost
like
saying:
we
don't
care
if
we
don't
do
these
things
and
I
think
that's
even
worse
message
to
send
out
so
I
support
this.
D
E
You
I
don't
have
any
any
statements.
I
just
have
a
question:
I
haven't
get
an
answer
to
you
and
I
was
looking
at
what
other
your
salaries
are
done
and,
yes,
I,
miss
valleys,
a
sign
that
passed
this
symbolic
gesture
and
that's
what
mr.
pallies
do
that's
what
local
councillors
do?
They
pass
them
all
gestures,
because
it
looks
good
at
the
time,
but
some
questions
that
have
been
asked
that
and
having
that
answers
to
you
have
to
do
the
this
notion
that
there's
no
financial
implications,
I'm
just
I'm
curious.
E
If
someone
is
here
to
answer
that
question,
because
the
intent
of
the
motion
is
to
lead
toward
a
change
in
the
Charter.
So
if
you
have
a
charter
right
that
changes,
what's
the
implication
of
that
charter
rights,
if
a
musicality
has
to
now
fall
within
charter
rights
and
a
right
to
clean
water
is,
it
is
a
charter
right
then,
if
you
have
someone
who
can't
get
a
clean
well
in
West
Carlton,
who
do
they
go
to
to
get
their
charter
right
fulfilled?
E
F
Mayor
I
will,
or
mr.
deputy
mayor
I,
will
attempt
to
respond
to
that
I
think
the
way
the
the
mover
and
seconder
have
put
it
with
regards
to
characterizing.
This
is
a
symbolic
motion.
I
would
call
it
an
aspirational
declaration
with
regards
to
the
recommendations
that
are
found
in
in
this
particular
motion.
F
It
talks
about
asking
the
provincial
government
to
review
its
environmental
legislation
and
the
federal
government
to
do
the
same
thing,
including
the
Canadian
Charter
of
Rights
and
Freedoms,
and
there
is,
of
course,
a
statutory
requirement
in
our
constitution
for
how
that
gets
changed,
and
if
this
was
put
in
the
environment
in
some
way
somewhere
at
some
point
in
the
future.
The
expectation
from
the
legal
perspective
is
that
all
levels
of
government,
federal,
provincial
and
local
government
would
comply
with
the
Constitution
and
comply
with
whatever
the
Charter
said.
With
regards
to
whether
or
not
mr.
B
B
I,
don't
understand
when
this
city
is
a
leader
and
it's
not
just
the
city,
it's
our
as
the
shareholders
of
hydro
Ottawa
is
an
award
winner
on
conservation
demand
management
on
our
water
on
the
advancements
we've
made
I
think
as
councillor
hubely
sat
and
counselor
sure
Ally
on
waste.
All
of
these
things
are
in
here
we're
doing
a
good
job.
We
even
take
time
to
brag
about
the
fact
we're
doing
a
good
job
from
time
to
time,
so
there
is
no
good
reason,
but
there
could
be
bad
reasons
to
support
this.
Thank
you.
C
H
H
This
is,
as
I
described
it
a
call
to
all
levels
of
government
to
give
further
protection
to
a
variety
of
rights
to
a
healthy
environment.
It
is
Ottawa
doing
well,
yes,
we
are
doing
quite
well.
Are
we
doing
great?
Are
we
doing
excellent,
not
yet,
but
we're
working
towards
that?
Similarly,
hoping
that
other
levels
of
government
will
be
doing
so
too
and
calling
upon
them
to
do
that,
so
we
can
be
doing
this
doing
this
together,
as
for
costs
sure
I.
H
Should
we
be
required
by
another
level
of
government
down
the
road
to
adopt
more
stringent
policies
and
practices.
There
would
likely
be
costs
with
that,
but
in
the
same
way
there
would
likely
be
opportunities.
Revenue,
opportunities,
cost
savings,
more
efficient
buildings,
industry
sales
opportunities.
So
there's
a
lot
that
we
don't
know
down
the
road.
