Agenda and supporting documents available at www.ottawa.ca/agendas
A
A
Melcy,
thank
you
well
good
morning.
Everyone
I
want
to
begin
by
acknowledging
national
nursing
week
and
this
year's
theme
hashtag.
We
answer
the
call
this
week
celebrates
the
courage
and
commitment
of
nurses
in
the
many
ways
they
support
our
community.
A
Nursing
is
one
of
the
most
trusted
health
professions
and
nurses
are
a
leading
force
in
the
provision
of
health
services
decision
making
and
policy
development
nurses
provide
accessible,
evidence-based
care,
with
a
focus
on
research
and
advocacy.
They
enable
social
and
economic
productivity
and
help
individuals
and
communities
achieve
their
highest
standard
of
health.
A
As
we
celebrate
national
nursing
week
and
we
thank
the
nurses
for
all
they
do
in
our
community,
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
honor
those
nurses
who
have
been
on
the
front
line
of
our
pandemic
response.
Public
health
nurses,
especially
our
great
colleagues
from
ottawa,
public
health,
have
worked
tirelessly
to
educate,
vaccinate
and
protect
the
health
and
security
of
everyone
in
our
community.
A
Well,
this
time
in
our
council
meeting,
we
recognize
our
city
builder
award
recipients
and
because
we've
we've
had
two
years
without
the
opportunity
to
meet
in
person,
we're
doubling
up
and
we're
doing
two
awards
for
the
rest
of
this
council
term.
A
It's
my
pleasure
to
invite
dave
khalil
to
come
forward.
I'd
like
to
welcome
kitchissippi
councillor
dave's,
counselor,
jeff
fleeper,
to
join
us
as
well,
so
dave
and
jeff
welcome
the
avenue.
A
Dave
khalil
is
being
recognized
for
raising
money
for
several
charities
and
the
many
ways
he
inspires.
People
in
the
community,
through
his
music
and
entertainment,
perform
entertaining
performances.
Dave
is
a
very
talented
musician.
Aaron
can
attest
to
that
as
our
national
president
and
throughout
the
copa
19
pandemic
he's
been
holding
weekly
live
stream
concerts
to
connect
with
his
audiences
far
and
wide,
and
I
saw
one
of
those,
the
very
first
one
I
think
you
did.
It
was
excellent
for
more
than
44
years.
A
He
is
known
as
ottawa's
piano
man
and
played
all
over
ottawa
and
around
the
country
pandemic.
Lockdowns
meant
dave
was
unable
to
play
at
his
regular
venues,
but
he
was
determined
to
continue
performing
and
sharing
his
passion
for
music.
His
popular
90-minute
shows
called
take
a
break.
Come
came
to
include
a
charity
component,
focusing
on
raising
money
for
a
different
non-profit
organization.
A
Every
week
in
april,
2020,
dave's,
first
big,
take
a
break,
show
aired
on
rogers
tv
and
raised
over
13
thousand
dollars,
just
in
that
90
minutes
for
the
ottawa
food
bank
and
since
then,
dave
has
raised
an
incredible
100
000
for
various
local
charities
beneficiaries
of
his
fundraising
efforts
include
shelter,
moves
youth
services,
bureau,
the
ottawa
mission,
shepherds
of
good
hope,
and
many
more
dave
is
a
great
showman
and
a
great
philanthropist.
A
I
encourage
people
to
tune
in
to
take
a
break
and
make
a
donation
if
possible
and
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
mention
that
dave
is
also
a
golf
professional
at
the
ottawa
hunt
club.
He
was
awarded
pro
of
the
year
in
2018
the
same
year.
He
won
the
pga
canada
ottawa
zone,
senior
championships,
dave
khalil
personifies
the
qualities
of
volunteerism
and
exemplary
action
that
define
a
city
builder
for
his
exceptional
fundraising
efforts
and
his
contributions
to
community.
A
It's
my
pleasure
to
present
the
mayor's
city
builder
award
to
dave
khalil,
and
I
I
was
thinking
back.
I
think
the
first
time
we
didn't
really
meet,
but
I
saw
you
at
roosters
performing
with
khalil
and
nezrella.
Remember,
colin
ezrella
those
bring
back
memories,
so
please
give
a
warm
round
of
applause
to
dave.
Kahlel.
B
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
good
morning,
counselors
morning,
friends
and
family,
you
stole
my
whole
speech
seriously.
I
wrote
this
thing
and,
and
you
said
everything
but
you're
much
better
at
it
than
I
am
so
I
hope
so
ottawa
is
my
home.
So
I'm
very
proud
of
this.
This
award,
I'm
humbled
by
it.
When
the
pandemic
I've
been
playing
in
virus.
I'm
sure
I've
met
most
of
you
in
a
bar,
so.
B
Somewhere
along
the
way
and
when
the
pandemic
hit
well,
obviously
we
couldn't
play
anymore,
so
I
had
to
find
a
way
to
to
keep
playing,
because
it's
part
of
my
who
I
am
and
my
soul.
So
we
started
trying
a
couple
of
songs
on
facebook
live
and
people
showed
up
and
they
kept
showing
up,
and
I
kept
doing
it
and
like,
as
the
mayor
said,
I'm
going
to
repeat
everything
he
said.
So
we
all
gathered
weekly
and
take
a
break
was
born.
B
So
my
dear
friend
aaron,
benjamin
who's,
the
president,
ceo
of
the
canadian,
live
music
association.
Imagine
how
hard
her
job's
been
for
last
over
two
years
took
time
out
of
her
life
to
produce
my
show.
All
78
shows
90
minutes,
and
I
could
not
have
done
this
without
her
and
she
was
the
voice
of
the
viewers,
so
people
would
people
would
show
up
on
the
show
and
and
and
make
it
to
the
comments.
B
Section
and
aaron
would
say
well
kathy's
here
from
vancouver
and
jocelyn's
here
from
burbank,
california,
and
and
it
was
just
a
fantastic
little
community
started
building
it
and
it
was.
It
was
really
something
that
was
born
there,
spontaneously
and
and
organically
is
very,
very
cool.
How
much
time
do
I
have
25
minutes
and
then
our
friend
al
saunders
who's
here
today.
B
B
So
we
had
a
hundred
people
last
that
night
and
I
donated
100.
So
it
was
200
to
the
youth
services
bureau
and
then,
like
the
light,
went
off
it's
like
wow.
This
is
we
can
do
this,
so
it
reminded
me
of
my
uncle
terry
jabur,
who
was
a
lawyer,
a
lawyer
here
in
ottawa.
I
passed
away
a
while
ago
and
he
was
a
huge
inspiration
in
my
life
and
when
he
died.
B
I
wrote
three
words
on
a
little
scrap
of
paper
and
I
remember
putting
putting
them
on
my
fridge
and
the
three
words
were
do
some
good.
So
I
finally
had
a
purpose.
I
had
a
purpose
during
this
pandemic
and-
and
I
couldn't
play
live
anymore,
live
audiences
were
no
more
so
I
had
a
purpose.
So
I'm
a
musician
in
the
midst
of
a
global
pandemic,
46
years
playing
46,
not
44.,
I'm
older
and
I
had
way
more
hair
to
live
audiences.
B
B
So
during
the
show,
people
would
pledge
dollars
per
viewer
and
then
and
then
I'd
be
playing
along
and
then
aaron
would
interrupt
me
and
she'd
say.
B
B
I
felt
like
doing
that
too.
It
was
an
incredible
phenomenon
anyway,
so
78
78
shows
later
and
many
folks
have
not
missed
the
show,
we're
still
doing
them.
Even
though
I
can
play
live
again.
My
mom's
here,
my
sister
jody
kylie
ben
robert,
a
lot
of
people
from
my
family
carol.
Sad
mitch,
my
son,
our
little
take
a
break
community
has
donated
actually
185
000
to
local
charities.
So.
B
So
I'd
like
to
thank
everyone
who
gathered
today
and
those
who
join
us
on
every
show-
and
I
share
this
with
all
our
take
a
breakers
because
without
their
generosity,
none
of
this
would
have
happened.
I'm
I'm
honored.
B
I
am
very
humbled,
I'm
not
an
award
person,
but
I
really
appreciate
it
and
please
tune
in
for
the
next
show.
Thank
you.
Everybody.
A
Our
next
city
builder
is
presented
to
grace
thrasher
and
we're
gonna
ask
two
counselors,
because
grace's
work
covers
two
wards:
her
ward
councillor,
scott
moffatt
and
adjoining
george
derous.
We
asked
grace
to
come
forward
and
grace
has
family
and
friends
here
as
well,
and
we
welcome
you
to
your
city
hall.
Welcome.
A
For
over
a
decade,
grace
flasher
has
been
volunteering
her
time
in
numerous
capacities,
the
support
of
the
manatee
community
for
over
a
decade
early
or
rather
early
in
our
volunteering
journey,
grace
assisted
with
fundraising
and
annual
events
like
shiver
fest,
the
summer
picnic
and
one
of
my
favorites
of
the
season,
the
manatee
soapbox
derby,
which
I
hope
is
going
to
take
place
again
this
year
and
then
scott
has
the
winning
record.
I
think.
A
From
2012
to
2017,
grace
served
as
the
treasurer
of
the
manatee
community
association
and
was
elected
president
of
the
board
in
2017,
and
she
still
serves
that
capacity.
Grace
is
a
loyal
community
ambassador
and
she's
accomplished
so
much
through
her
time
in
civic
leadership
and
community
building.
That
includes
her
leadership
and
manat
takes
task
force
on
village
core
revitalization,
which
resulted
in
extensive
improvements
in
the
community.
She
also
advocates
to
city
committees
and
government
representatives
on
topics
like
the
manatee
secondary
plan,
the
transportation
master
plan
and
the
ward
boundary
review.
A
She's
also
been
on
numerous
local
committees,
where
she
championed
letters
of
support
for
local
businesses,
organizations
and
charities.
Grace
helped
create
the
local
dave
bartlett
park,
dog
walkers
association
and
led
numerous
initiatives
that
have
had
measurable
impacts
on
the
community
in
recognition
of
her
many
many
years
of
dedicated
service
to
the
community.
It's
my
pleasure
to
present
grace
thrasher
with
the
mayor's
city
builder
award.
C
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor
and
counselors.
It's
been
a
pleasure
working
with,
with
both
george
and
scott
for
for
many
years.
As
you
know,
they
will
actually
stole
a
lot
of
my
speech
as
well.
Just
so
you
know,
I
am
fortunate.
I
work
with
a
really
good
group
of
people,
some
of
whom
are
here
tonight
or
today.
C
C
I'd
also
like
to
thank
my
husband
who's
here
as
well
he's.
Basically,
let
me
spend
a
lot
of
time
at
meetings
and
be
away
from
home
and
kind
of
held
down
the
fort,
while
I've
been
doing
that.
So.
Thank
you
dear.
The
last
thing
I
wanted
to
say
was
it's
been
an
incredible
experience
for
me.
I
think
that
mo
more
people
should
actually
volunteer.
C
You
certainly
get
more
than
you
give
in
any
of
these
circumstances,
and
certainly,
as
being
part
of
a
community,
is
manitek.
There's
a
lot
of
very
strong
volunteer
commitment
in
that
community
and
it's
fortunate
to
be
able
to
work
with
a
lot
of
different
people.
I've
met
a
lot
of
great
people
in
that
community.
As
I,
as
the
mayor
said,
I
work
with
a
lot
of
other
community
organizations
and
I
think
we
all
have
to
work
together
to
try
and
achieve
the
same
goals.
C
Lastly,
I
think
manatee
as
a
rural
village
has
some
unique
challenges
being
part
of
a
bigger
city.
We
also
face
some
of
the
same
challenges
that
other
parts
of
the
city
face.
So
I
appreciate
the
city
has
been
trying
to
do
a
much
better
job
of
work,
recognizing
rural
villages,
and
I
think
I'm
hopeful
that
that
will
continue
in
the
future,
because
the
character
of
our
rural
villages
within
this
city
are
definitely
worth
preserving.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Our
recipients
and
their
guests
and
you're
more
than
welcome
to
stay,
but
no
one
ever
does
so.
E
F
G
A
Thank
you.

for
items
subject
to
the
planning
act.
Explanation
requirement
at
the
city
council
meeting
of
april
27
2022
be
received
and
considered.
A
Item
six
zoning
bylaw
amendment
two
two:
seven,
five,
mel
blue
road
councillor
moffat
and
have
a
technical
amendment.
I
think
something
was
left
off
the
report.
Counselor
gower
moffat
rather
or
is
it
I
guess
it's
gower
yep.
G
I've
got
it,
it's
a
technical
amendment
to
add,
missing,
award,
counselor
comments
and
correct
some
errors
in
the
report.
So
therefore,
be
it
resolve.
With
respect
to
the
report
that
the
comments
by
the
ward
counselor
section
of
the
staff
report,
which
currently
states
the
ward
council
is
aware
of
the
application
related
to
the
support
report,
with
the
comment
provided
by
counselor
kits
attached
as
nx1
to
this
motion
and
therefore
be
it
further
resolved
that
council
replace
the
words
in
column.
G
With
the
text
gm152156
and
therefore
be
a
further
resolve,
that
council
add
the
words
all
buildings
on.
The
lot
must
have
commercial
space
on
the
ground
floor
in
a
separate
bullet
point
in
document
2,
section
5d
and
therefore
be
it
further
resolved
that
there
be
no
further
notice
pursuant
to
section
3417
of
the
planning
act
and
the
counselor's
comments
are
included
as
an
annex
circulated
to
council.
A
A
A
H
D
Yes,
mr
chair,
we've
just
been
advised
by
staff
at
item
and
zoning
bylaw
amendment
2960
litrum
road
is
missing
a
location
map,
so
staff
is
preparing
a
technical
amendment
for
that
item
as
we
speak.
If
that
could
also
be
held
with
the
will
of
counsel.
A
So
we'll
we'll
come
back
to
both
of
those
and
then
the
interim.
The
staff
are
going
to
attach
the
map,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
okay,
so
we'll
go
back
to
the
first
item
that
was
held.
Is
the
ottawa
hospital,
civic
campus
financial
framework,
local
share
contribution,
and
I
believe
we
have
one
direction
to
staff
and
one
motion
so
councillor
gower,
if
you'd
like
to
introduce
your
direction
to
staff
yeah.
G
One
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
came
up
a
number
of
times
of
fedco
in
our
conversations
and
discussion
on
the
issue
was
to
make
sure
staff
are
being
as
creative
as
possible
and
leaving
every
door
open
to
how
our
municipality
could
contribute
to
the
to
the
local
share.
G
A
Okay,
that
direction
is
agreeable,
counselor
mean
you
have
a
motion
talking
about
counselor
brockington,
please
you'd
like
to
introduce
it
now.
I
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor.
If
staff
can
put
it
up
on
the
screen,
I
would
like
to
read
it
and
then
discuss
it.
It's
very
simple,
therefore,
be
it
resolve
the
council
direct
staff
to
explore
the
option
of
creating
a
lottery
like
other
hospital,
fundraising
lotteries
to
contribute
towards
funding
the
local
share,
including
the
requested
municipal
portion
of
the
new
ottawa
hospital
civic
campus.
I
So
I'm
introducing
this
motion
today
because
we,
I
think
we
all
agree.
Well,
I
don't
think
there's
anybody
who
would
disagree
that
this
ottawa
hospital
is
going
to
be
a
valid,
valuable
addition
to
healthcare
in
ottawa
and
it's
badly
needed.
I
The
mere
suggestion
right
now
that
the
150
million
dollars
that
is
being
requested
of
the
city
is
it's
actually
distressing.
I
have
talked
to
a
lot
of
residents
in
my
ward
who,
who
fear
what
this
might
mean
to
their
municipal
taxes,
and
that
doesn't
mean
to
say
that
they
don't.
You
know
respect
the
fact
that
we
need
this
hospital
and
funding
is
necessary,
but
the
fact
that
we're
battered
that
we're
talking
about
this
at
this
particular
juncture
when
people
are
stressed
to
the
max
budgets
are
strained.
I
People
can't
afford
their
gas
groceries
are
tight.
I
know
that
this
that
framework
discussing
the
framework
does
not
bind
the
next
city
council,
but
people
are
afraid
of
why
we're
talking
about
this
at
this
point
and
if
you
look
at
the
wording
directing
staff
to
look
at
this
right
now
is
is
scary
for
folks-
and
I
I
question
why
we're
doing
this
if
the
next
council
is
going
to
be
making
the
ultimate
decision?
Why
are
we
discussing
this
today?
I
So
I
think
if
this
is
going
to
pass
today,
we
have
to
explore
another
option,
and
that
is
a
lottery.
Much
like
the
princess
bargain
hospital
lottery.
We've
seen
these
lotteries
in
the
past
and
there
is
a
really
great
great
big
incentive
like
a
prize
or
a
cash,
a
cash
gift
or
a
prize
that
can
be
won
and
I
think
a
lottery
would
be
a
great
idea
and
would
be
welcomed
by
a
lot
of
people
who
have
maybe
deeper
pockets
of
the
average
taxpayer
in
the
city.
I
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
questions
and
debate,
councilman
art.
J
Thank
you
very
much
mayor
on
this
one.
I
think
it's
important.
We
recognize
the
amount
of
downloading
the
provincial
government
has
done
to
municipality
since
amalgamation.
J
We've
obviously
been
burdened
now
with
full
responsibility
on
the
housing
front
and,
of
course,
there's
been
many
other
services
downloaded
to
municipalities
since
amalgamation
and
requests
for
services
that
wouldn't
have
been
there
normally
within
other
jurisdictions.
I
remember
the
old
nepean,
where
I
grew
up
and
rural
areas,
which,
of
course
need
and
request
municipal
services
a
lot
of
that
changed
after
amalgamation,
with
the
expectation
based
on
the
one
municipality
in
terms
of
comments
that
have
been
made
previously
around
downloads
mayor.
J
I
know
you've
been
a
big
advocate
of
re-uploading,
some
cost
provincial
government
when
you
were
a
minister
in
in
that
government
and
did
a
good
job
of
that.
I
think
in
this
case,
provincial
government
is
responsible
for
health
care
in
its
totality
cities
and
communities
shouldn't
be
funding
this
indeed
many
communities
send
these
requests
back.
Toronto
has
done
that.
Other
municipalities
have
done
that
as
well.
This
is
a
large
request,
as
we
heard
from
the
the
cfo.
J
J
I
don't
think
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
so
I
would
encourage
us
to
you
know,
pass
the
the
direction
that's
been
put
in
front
of
us,
but
vote
against
the
the
motion,
which
would
go
to
next
term
of
council
in
2023
for
the
ultimate
decision.
We
can
make
a
choice
in
the
next
term
of
council,
but
this
is
setting
staff
off
on
that
direction.
J
So
I
would
encourage
you
to
vote
against
it
based
on
the
provincial
priorities
that
are
health
care
funding
and
make
sure
they
do
it
the
way
they
should
be
doing
it.
Thanks
mayor.
F
Thank
you
very
much
mayor.
I
am
still
vacillating
on
this
one,
even
as
we
tried
about
this
morning.
Clearly
the
the
hospital
is
important.
I
don't
feel
that
I
have
a
good
sense
today
of
what
residents
want
us
to
do.
F
The
the
amount
of
discussion
that
has
happened
on
this
so
far
has
been
inadequate,
and
you
know
we
have
an
election
campaign
coming
up
and
I
think
a
lot
of
us
will
be
talking
to
residents
about
whether
or
not
their
city
council
should
be
offering
up
a
municipal
share.
F
F
F
F
F
I'm
going
to
be
listening
really
carefully
to
the
continued
arguments
over
the
next
several
minutes.
If
the
answer
is
no,
if
this
council
knows
that
it's
not
going
to
raise
property
taxes
in
order
to
make
a
contribution
to
something
that
our
province
should
be
funding
on
the
provincial
tax
base,
that's
their
job
under
our
constitution,
then
we
should
vote
against
this
report,
but
I
am
amenable
to
voting
in
favor
of
it.
F
If
I
can
be
convinced
that
the
outcome
of
staff's
work
is
going
to
be
somehow
a
meaningful
contribution
to
the
hospital
funding
without
increasing
taxes
chair.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
councillor,
councillor,
curry.
Please.
E
Can
I
just
have
some
clarification
on
what
the
motion
is
asking
just
that
staff
look
at
a
lottery
possibility?
Is
that
what
the
motion's
asking.
K
E
To
look
at
the
possibility
and
does
staff
have
a
comment
on
that,
and
my
understanding
is
that
we
couldn't
actually
say
we
were
well.
The
ottawa
hospital
might,
in
cell
itself,
run
a
lottery
for
the
their
share,
but
I
just
was
wondering
what
staff
thought
in
early
days
here.
The
concept
of
it.
E
Okay,
so
I
think
that
if
staff
are
happy
to
take
it
away
and
look
at
it,
then
this
is
not
that
complicated.
They
can
go,
look
at
it
if
they
like
it,
if
they
want
to
the
bigger
motion,
is
to
come
after
this
motion,
because
that's
where
I
would
like
clarification
as
well
in
terms
of
what
the
burden
of
the
taxpayer
is
and
the
history
of
local
share,
because
my
understanding
this
is
historical.
E
I
Mr
mayor,
if
I
could
just
to
clarify,
if
that's
possible,.
I
Mr
mayor,
can
I
speak
mr.
I
Thank
you
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
the
questions
I
think
my
intent
was,
and
I
should
clarify
is
the
fact
that
I
I
don't
support
what
the
motion
the
original
motion
is
asking
us
today.
I
don't
believe
that
we
should
be
directing
staff
to
be
examining
the
options
right
now.
So
maybe
I
think
maybe
my
motion
should
be
a
substitute
motion
that
I
cannot
vote
for.
I
cannot
vote
for
the
motion
as
it
stands
right
now.
I
I
think
that
that
we
are
binding,
whether
we
say
it
or
not-
we're
binding
next
council
in
some
way
by
directing
our
staff
to
work
on
this
right
now.
I
would
like
to
see
this
motion
set
aside
and
perhaps
a
substitute
motion.
If
we
need
150
million
dollars,
I
think
there
are
other
ways
besides
going
to
the
taxpayers,
to
fund
this.
So
if
there's
a
way
to
make
this
a
substitute
motion,
I
would
I
would
welcome
some
input.
So
thank
you.
A
E
A
Sorry
counselor,
I
apologize
I'll
just
ask
folks
behind
me:
dude
sorry.
Could
you
just
repeat
that.
E
I
just
was
wondering
about
the
procedural
where
we're
at
here
we're
just
voting
on
the
concept
of
it,
but
now
carol.
Councillor
meehan
has
made
some
clarifications,
so
I'm
wondering
what
we
are
doing
right
now.
A
Yeah,
well
it
right
now,
as
it
stands,
it's
asking
for
staff
to
explore
a
lottery,
so
it's
not
a
replacement,
and
I
would
rule
that
this
is
not
a
replacement
because
it's
worlds
apart
between
the
main
fund
funding
required
by
the
province
and
starting
a
lottery,
so
we'll
have
to
vote
on
her
her
amendment,
which
is
to
ask
staff
that
look
into
a
lottery
and
then
we'll
deal
with
the
main
motion.
A
L
Just
a
quick
question,
mr
mayor
procedure,
before
I
I
launched
into
my
comments,
counselor
curry
seemed
to
suggest
that
we
were
just
speaking
to
the
me
in
motion
at
this
point
and
we
get
another
crack
at
speaking
to
the
main
recommendation.
L
A
As
always,
traditionally
speaking,
everything
now.
L
We
are
speaking
everything
now,
okay,
so
so
thank
you
for
that,
mr
mayor.
So,
in
terms
of
speaking,
I
I've
got
to
be
honest.
I'm
not
sure
why
we're
spending
so
much
time
talking
about
this
right
now.
L
That
is
the
working
model
in
the
province
right
now
and
personally,
I
I
trust
staff
to
be
creative
in
in
the
review
of
what
the
options
are
and
to
be
very
cognizant
of
the
impact
on
taxpayers
going
forward
when
they
bring
back
their
their
recommendations.
Pursuant
to
this
to
this
motion,
you
know
quite
clearly
this.
This
is
going
to
be
a
hospital
for
everyone
in
ottawa.
It's
going
to
create
jobs,
it's
going
to
spur
the
economy
during
the
construction
phase.
L
It's
going
to
upon
completion
is
going
to
give
the
taxpayers
of
ottawa
a
state-of-the-art
center
of
healing
and
care.
There's
not
a
person
sitting
around
this
table.
Indeed,
in
the
city
that
will
not
have
some
personal
connection
or
benefit
from
this
facility,
all
of
us
or
someone
near
and
dear
to
us,
is
going
to
end
up
at
the
hospital
at
some
point
for
treatment
or
care
or
testing.
L
L
To
dither
on
this
or
equivocate
will
lead
our
city
to
losing
its
priority
position
with
the
province
for
the
construction
funding,
there's
a
lot
of
other
cities
and
towns
and
regions.
Looking
for
hospitals
and
plans
for
hospitals,
we
don't
want
to
appear
to
be
unwilling
or
unable
to
meet
the
community
share
of
this
build.
L
L
L
L
So
I
would
urge
each
and
every
one
of
my
companions
and
colleagues
around
the
table.
This
is
an
important
vote.
It
sets
the
pathway.
It
sets
a
foundation
for
reasonable,
sound
discussion
in
the
next
term
of
council.
It
lets
the
next
term
a
council
jump
into
this
project.
Knowing
what
the
options
are,
knowing
what
the
impacts
are,
rather
than
putting
it
off
and
risking
losing
this
project
and
the
funding
priority
that
we
currently
have
with
the
provincial
government.
Thank
you.
M
M
If
you
recall
roger
greenberg,
who
is
leading
the
fundraising
efforts,
I
believe
their
goal
is
500
million
explain
to
us
that
there
is
a
big
risk
that
if
we
don't
advance
this
at
this
point,
that
the
world-class
health
care
system
that
we
want
and
services
that
we
want
in
our
city
are
at
risk.
M
There
are
other
provincial
priorities
and
if
we,
if
we,
if
we
aren't
tactical
and
strategic
about
those
investments,
we
might
lose,
I
I
think
the
spirit
of
some
of
the
elements
that
some
colleagues
are
mentioning
are
valuable,
they're
important
but
they're
important
in
the
next
step.
Let's
agree
and
let's
send
it
to
staff
to
do.
I
met
with
wendy,
let's
send
it
to
staff,
let's,
let's
do
the
review
of?
How
do
we
fund
this?
M
What's
our
contribution
keep
in
mind,
colleagues,
there's
a
lot
of
sewer
and
water
work
to
do
a
lot
of
curb
work
to
do.
There's
a
lot
of
lighting
work
to
do.
There's
a
lot
of
maybe
an
lrt
station
work
to
do
that's
our
contribution,
that'll
be
our
contribution,
so
we
don't
even
know
what
that
number
will
look
like
when
it
comes
back
in
the
framework.
So
there's
a
lot
of
internal
work,
there's,
certainly
an
understanding
from
the
city
on
the
importance
of
the
investment.
M
Let's
approve
the
framework
today,
let's
and
then
let's
sit
down
with
with
our
our
treasurer
and
the
city
and
the
hospital
to
make
sure
that
we
capture
the
value
and
the
cost
that
we
will
have
as
a
municipality,
and
I
think
that
there's
fair
points,
many
that
were
raised
by
colleagues
around
healthcare
and
now
healthcare's
funded
in
this
province,
guess
what
everyone
there's
a
provincial
election
happening
so
as
no
matter
the
party,
no
matter
the
candidate
at
your
door,
talk
to
them
about
our
local
issues
on
this
front,
talk
to
them
about
why?
M
Why
are
we
locally
being
nickel
and
dimed
on
these
things,
when
we're
really
looking
at
a
an
important
investment
for
the
future
of
health
care
in
our
city?
So
I
I,
mr
mayor,
I
would
ask,
maybe
that
the
the
motion
that
is
brought
to
the
table
by
counselor
me
and
simply
be
referred
to
the
the
working
group
or
the
framework,
because
I
do
think
it's
a
bit
early
to
consider
that
I
don't
know
if
you,
if
you
have
a
if
that
is
if
that
is
how
you
perceive
it.
A
If
you
move
the
referral
motion
of
counselor
means
motion
odd.
Second,
to
staff,
there's
been,
as
I
understand
it,
no
consultation
with
chio
that
runs
the
biggest
lottery
and
my
concern
is
this
is
going
to
come
as
a
surprise
to
them,
because
there's
usually
a
gentle
person's
agreement
within
the
hospital
sector
that
this
group
will
do
a
lottery.
This
one
will
do
a
bike-a-thon
and
so
on,
and
I
wouldn't
want
to
undermine
chio's
very
successful
lottery
so
we'll
deal
with
that
as
a
referral
a
little
later
on.
A
N
Thank
you
good
morning,
everyone
well,
for
my
part,
I
certainly
recognize
the
importance
of
state
of
the
art
healthcare
services
in
our
community.
I've
certainly
have
my
own
experience
with
the
need
for
quality
health
care,
and
I
don't
think
any
of
us
disagree
that
this
is
an
important
upgrade
to
the
civic
campus
of
the
ottawa
hospital,
much
needed
and
very
timely
and
it's
an
important
project.
But
having
said
that,
I
also
recognize
that
healthcare
is
a
provincial
responsibility.
N
That
does
not
allow
us
to
have
money
to
meet
our
own
mandate
to
to
meet
the
needs
in
terms
of
housing,
road
reconstruction,
transit
services,
building,
transit
infrastructure,
cycling
facilities,
pedestrian
facilities,
all
the
things
within
our
own
mandate
that
we
are
constantly
asking
upper
tier
governments
to
assist
with,
because
we
don't
have
enough
funding,
and
you
know
I
appreciate
that
the
city
staff
are
looking
for
innovative
ways
to
raise
this
money,
but
it's
all
money,
and
if
they
can
raise
this
money,
the
choice
is:
do
we
fund
something
much
needed
infrastructure
in
our
own
mandate
or
do
we
assist
the
province
in
meeting
their
mandate
for
health
care?
N
And
I
think
that
really
is
the
choice
before
us
and
I
frankly,
don't
buy
the
argument
that
this
project
will
be
set
aside
for
years.
If
the
municipality
doesn't
make
a
municipal
contribution
of
150
million
dollars.
The
city
of
toronto
has
chosen
not
to
make
this
contribution
because
they're
building
lrt
like
we
are
another
massive
infrastructure
projects
and
there
is
limited
amount
of
money
and
so
they're
staying
in
their
own
wheelhouse
and
and
not
conflicting
it.
N
N
We
have
to
understand
what
our
mandate
is
and
stay
within
it,
and
I
think
the
province
should
be
asked
to
move
forward
with
this
without
a
municipal
contribution
that
we
simply
can't
afford,
and
I'm
just
worried
that
this
council
is
on
a
bit
of
a
end-of-term
spending
spree
right
now,
150
million
dollars
for
the
hospital
332
million
dollars
for
lansdowne
park.
I
understand
in
the
next
few
weeks
we're
going
to
be
asked
to
give
a
benefit
to
the
airport
of
in
the
range
of
25
million
dollars.
N
We
just
don't
have
the
money
to
gift
all
of
this
to
organizations
that
are
not
with
it
firmly
within
our
mandate.
So
I
would
just
ask
council
to
really
think
long
and
hard
before
casting
the
die
in
this
direction,
because
I
think
that's
what
you're
doing.
Thank
you.
O
Thank
you,
your
worship,
I
won't
be
supporting
this
motion
since
healthcare,
as
we've
heard
time
and
time
again
is
a
provincial
responsibility.
In
the
past.
The
responsibility
for
ambulances,
social
housing
and
provincial
highways
have
been
passed
on
to
our
municipality
by
the
province.
I
believe
this
continues.
The
disturbing
trend
of
the
province
offloading
the
cost
of
health
care
by
stealth.
O
Capital
spending,
in
contrast,
is
derived
from
a
mixture
of
government
sources
such
as
provincial
budget
allocation,
specifically
intended
for
infrastructure
funds,
as
well
as
from
donations
from
individuals
and
community
fundraising
initiatives
and
foundations
and
corporations,
which
is,
incidentally,
where
fundraising
should
come
from.
If
we
are
seeking
fundraising,
I
don't
believe
that
governments
should
be
running
that
municipal
government
should
be
running
lotteries
for
a
responsibility
that
should
be
handled
directly
by
the
province.
O
While
capital
spending
comes
from
a
range
of
sources,
the
proportion
of
capital
spending
from
the
province
has
been
experiencing
a
substantial
decrease
in
recent
years.
At
one
point,
provincial
funding
for
capital
investments
in
ontario's
hospitals
dropped
by
27
percent.
It
is
therefore
evident
that
the
intention
of
the
province
is
for
these
declines
for
these
shortfalls
to
be
made
up
by
municipal
taxpayers.
O
We
know
that
municipalities,
only
control,
10
cents
of
each
dollar
in
taxes
collected
and
our
city
has
to
make
those
dollars
go
a
long
way
to
pay
for
everything,
from
police
and
fire
protection
to
parks,
roads,
sewers
and
increasingly
social
services.
Of
course,
all
these
services
mostly
are
mandated,
and
we
we
have
to
pay
for
them
by
legislation
and,
as
we
all
know,
colleagues,
we
have
little
indiscretionary
resources.
After
all,
that
spending
is
done
now.
O
O
We
all
know
that
this
is
not
sustainable
and
as
a
city,
we
did
not
explicitly
plan
for
this
spending
priority,
which
our
chief
financial
officer
has
called
the
largest
request
for
city
funding
in
the
city's
history,
with
households
also
spending
an
ever
increasing
percentage
of
their
total
income
on
out-of-pocket
expenditures,
on
health
care
services,
and,
incidentally,
as
well
long-term
care,
I'm
loathed
to
see
the
city
add
such
additional
costs
to
the
municipal
taxpayer
and
the
municipal
tax
base
as
a
consequence
I'll
be
voting
against
this
motion.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
A
P
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I've
been
listening
to
all
of
the
comments
this
morning.
As
as
we
go
through
this,
like
some
of
my
colleagues,
I've
I've
also
gone
back
and
forth.
The
city
needs
a
new
hospital.
P
This
will
serve
our
community
and
a
part
of
our
infrastructure.
However,
healthcare
is
strictly
a
provincial
responsibility.
We
don't
have
the
revenue
tools
that
our
provincial
government
has
any.
You
know
if
we
look
at
the
the
guiding
principles
for
the
financial
framework,
even
though
it's
minimal
to
no
burden
to
the
taxpayers
of
ottawa,
no
redirection
of
existing
and
committed
operating
or
capital
budget
dollars
to
the
municipal,
local
share.
P
The
money
will
come
from
somewhere.
It's
money
that
the
city
could
expend
on
it
on
our
own
infrastructure,
and
we
have.
We
have
many
needs.
We
know
that
and
and
when
we
look
at
what's
been
downloaded
to
the
city
by
the
province,
you
know
look
at
housing,
homelessness,
look
at
transit
and
paramedic
services.
P
You
know
it.
We
already
are
carrying
a
burden
that
that
our
property
tax
base
just
cannot
continue
to
to
support.
At
some
point
we
run
out
of
of
space.
We
run
out
of
runway,
we
run
out
of
money
like
our
our
property
tax
base
and
and
our
and
our
taxpayers
at
the
sea.
P
P
So
I
think
about
that.
I
think
you
know,
at
an
average
cost
say
an
average
value
of
35
000
per
tree,
which
I
think
is
pretty
conservative
that
comes
out
to
about
25
million
dollars.
So
I
wonder
if
we're
going
to
ask
and
request
for
that
25
million
dollars,
perhaps
to
be
taken
off
of
off
of
this,
ask
there's
not
I
just
again:
it's
it's
something.
That's
come
up.
It
was
not.
It
was
not
discussed
during
the
whole
site
plan.
P
It
was
not
discussed
through
the
whole
planning
process
and
it
feels
today
that
we
are
being
pushed
into
a
corner.
We
are
being
almost
threatened
with
not
getting
a
hospital
unless
we
agree
to
look
for
more
funding
from
our
property
tax
base,
and
I
have
to
say
I'm
struggling
struggling
with
that,
and
I
don't
believe
that,
after
listening
to
everyone-
and
I
will
continue
to
listen,
but
I
I
just
can't
see
how
I'm
able
to
support
the
the
recommendation
in
this
report
today.
Thank.
A
You
councillor
kittspley.
Q
Thank
you,
chair
yeah,
I
mean,
I
think,
we're
all
in
agreement
that
this
should
be
a
provincial
responsibility.
I
don't
think
anyone
around
this
table
is
thrilled
that
we're
being
asked
to
pony
up
150
million,
so
we
do
need
to
speak
to
our
provincial
representatives.
Q
We
do
need
to
advocate
and
express
that
this
ask
is
an
unreasonable
burden
on
our
municipality
and,
if
we're
successful
in
those
efforts
and
in
uploading
this
that's
great,
but
if
it
doesn't
change,
we
still
need
this
new
hospital.
We
can't
risk
being
sidelined
on
this
project
when
there
are
other
cities
in
ontario
vying
for
new
hospitals.
Q
So
let's
be
absolutely
clear
to
the
province
about
our
expectations,
but
I
think
taking
a
principled
stand
would
potentially
be
doing
a
disservice
to
our
residents,
putting
at
risk
something
that
is
so
critical
to
the
health
of
our
city
and
further
we're
not
approving
our
share.
Today
we
are
approving
our
staff
looking
at
how
we
would
do
that
if
the
rules
of
the
game
don't
change,
so
I
will
be
supporting
the
report
and
I
will
be
supporting
the
referral
of
the
motion.
I
I
think
that's
appropriate.
Thank
you.
H
H
The
hospital
is
responsible
for
raising
their
share
and
the
hospital
has
decided
that
they're
going
to
take
on
500
million
we're
going
to
ask
the
city
of
ottawa
to
contribute
150
million,
and
then
I
believe,
from
the
presentation.
Last
week
there
was
another
50
million
in
other
ancillary
revenues.
So
that's
a
decision.
The
ottawa
hospital
has
made
they've
they've
decided
how
they're
going
to
structure
this
campaign
and
they've
decided
to
ask
the
city
of
ottawa
for
150
million
dollar
contribution.
H
So
that
is
not
a
requirement
imposed
on
us
by
the
province,
despite
the
fact
that
the
province
has
decided
what
the
formula
will
be
and
that
there
will
be
a
local
share
contribution.
So
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
point.
As
other
speakers
have
indicated,
no
one
argues
the
economic
benefits
and
spin-offs.
No
one
benefits
the
fact
that
we
will
be
receiving
a
state-of-the-art
trauma
center
and
hospital.
H
That's
much
needed
in
this
city
for
both
present
day
and
and
future
needs,
as
our
city
grows
and
ages,
and
people
have
inserted
sort
of
the
personal
and
emotional
arguments
about
why
this
should
be
approved
and
really
we
need
to
focus
on
who's
responsible
in
this.
H
I
do
want
to
ask
that
the
city
treasurer
if
she
is
able
to
expand
or
give
us
some
examples
of
what
options
are
being
considered.
I
know
if
this
passes
a
report
will
come
out
a
detailed
report,
but
we've
focused
a
lot
on
what
the
financial
contribution
might
be
of
taxpayers,
and
I
do
acknowledge
again
that
in
your
own
words
in
your
report,
madam
treasury
you've
indicated
you
want
to
mitigate
this
as
much
as
you
can.
So
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that.
K
The
first
one
is
laid
out
in
the
report
in
terms
of
recommendation
for,
and
it
speaks
to,
that
special
development
charge
for
the
civic,
the
new
civic
site
and
the
structure
of
that
recommendation
and
that
particular
transaction
would
allow
the
city
to
get
acknowledgement
of
a
local
share
contribution
with
the
change
as
to
how
that
would
work,
whereas
the
way
it's
structured
today,
we
wouldn't,
we
would
not
be
acknowledged
for
the
local
share
piece,
a
couple
of
other
things
that
we
will
look
at.
We
spoke
to
them
very
briefly.
In
the
report.
K
We
may
be
able
to
look
at
the
either
the
existing
civic
site,
or
perhaps
the
riverside
site,
with
respect
to
future
development
there
and
see
if
there's
some
sort
of
easement
right
or
either
a
development
right
or
air
rate
that
we
could
carve
off
a
local
contribution
from.
So
those
are
a
couple
of
things
that
we're
going
to
explore
and
as
we
dig
into
this,
we'll
look
at
others
as
well.
K
H
Okay,
thank
you
finally
I'll
just
echo
some
of
the
comments
that
I've
heard
from
colleagues,
and
that
is
again,
my
residents
are
very
supportive
of
the
build
of
the
new
hospital,
but
at
the
back
of
their
minds
they
are
very
worried
about
inflation
and
how
this
will
impact
the
city
budget
going
forward.
We
have
a
backlog
of
infrastructure
needs
that
the
next
council
is
going
to
have
to
address
one
way
or
another.
H
We
have
a
transit
discussion
both
through
fares
and
and
the
loss
of
revenues
impacted
by
cova
that
the
next
council
is
going
to
have
to
have
to
wrestle
with
and,
of
course,
the
actual
contributions
if
any
to
the
hospital.
So
the
back
of
people's
minds,
they
don't
argue,
as
we've
all
said,
the
necessity
of
the
new
hospital.
It's
when
you
add
this
all
up
with
everything
else
that
we're
tackling
that's
where
the
concerns
exist,
and
then
you
enter
into
the
discussion
about
whose
responsibility
is
it
anyway
to
build
and
pay
for
a
provincial
hospital?
A
Thank
you,
councillor
kavanaugh
plea.
D
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
I'll,
reflect
some
of
the
comments
of
my
of.
