Description
City Council Meeting - March 23, 2022
Agenda and supporting documents available at www.ottawa.ca/agendas
A
Good
morning,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
bonjour,
my
name
is
welcome
to
the
city
council
meeting
for
march
23
2022.,
as
my
late
mother,
used
to
say,
you're
a
sight
for
sore
eyes.
It's
nice
to
see
so
many
of
you
here
in
the
council
chamber,
along
with
our
staff
members
of
the
press
and
council
staff
at
albie
avenue.
A
A
People
who
have
demonstrated
an
extraordinary
commitment
to
making
our
city
a
better
place
through
volunteerism
or
exemplary
action
through
her
actions
during
the
occupation
of
ottawa.
Mrs
lee
demonstrated
exemplary
commitment
to
the
well-being
of
her
neighbors
and,
in
fact,
the
entire
community,
like
others
in
downtown
neighborhoods.
She
felt
growing
frustration
as
residents
were
subjected
to
relentless
honking
fireworks
and
choking
diesel
fumes
from
the
convoy
of
trucks,
clogging
the
downtown
core
with
governments
at
all
levels,
paralyzed
to
see
a
peaceful
and
quick
end
of
this
occupation.
A
Ms
lee
stepped
up
and
took
action
when
the
public
needed
it
most.
The
occupation
disrupted
the
daily
lives
of
residents
and
caused
incredible
hardship
for
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
community,
especially
for
those
with
health
and
mobility
issues.
Ms
lee
wanted
to
do
something
to
help
people
in
her
community
who
were
suffering
and
she
emerged
emerged
as
a
brave
community
leader
who
stood
up
for
justice
and
peace
in
the
face
of
some
very
angry
people.
A
She
was
introduced
to
ottawa
lawyer
paul
champ,
who
now
leads
the
legal
team
representing
downtown
residents
in
a
class-action
lawsuit
against
the
self-proclaimed
freedom
convoy
demonstrators.
Mislea
is
an
articulate
21
year
old
public
servant,
who
became
a
community
spokesperson
and
the
face
of
the
class
action
lawsuit.
Her
actions
brought
an
injunction
that
prohibited
participants
in
the
protest
from
using
vehicle
horns
in
the
vicinity
of
the
downtown
area.
A
Downtown
restaurants
join
the
class
action
lawsuit,
raising
its
claim
to
306
million
dollars
in
damages
for
the
disruption
of
their
lives
and
livelihoods.
By
the
drawn
out
demonstration,
the
plaintiffs
included
the
residents
of
downtown
ottawa,
represented
by
ms
lee
businesses
and
employees
who
lost
wages
whose
businesses
were
forced
to
shut
down
due
to
the
protests.
A
B
A
B
A
Ms
lee,
for
her
significant
contributions
to
the
community
and
the
entire
city
at
a
very
difficult
time
in
our
city's
history.
It's
my
pleasure,
ms
lee,
on
behalf
of
your
colleague,
your
counselor
councillor,
mckinney
and
all
members
of
council
are
here
here
to
present
you
with
the
mayor's
city
builder
award
for
a
job
very
well
done.
Congratulations.
C
A
I'd
like
to
welcome
our
colleagues
who
are
joining
us
virtually
and
those
joining
from
the
council
chamber,
including
those
members,
are
here
for
the
first
time.
I
think
that
would
be
councillor
kitts
and
thank
you
counselor
for
the
wonderful
cupcakes
from
a
local
bakery
in
cumberland
councilor
curry.
For
the
first
time.
I
think
we
missed
anyone
for
their
first
time.
No,
so
maybe
a
round
of
applause
to
welcome
our
two
new
colleagues.
A
As
this
is
our
first
hybrid
meeting
of
council
I'd
like
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
their
patience
as
we
work
through
any
technical
changes
that
may
come
about
over
the
course
of
the
meeting
before
we
begin
I'll.
Ask
the
deputy
clerk
to
go
over
the
main
points
to
ensure
the
meeting
runs
as
smoothly
as
possible.
Caitlin.
Please.

counselor
fleury.
A
F
And
whereas
a
technical
correction
to

is
required
to
distinguish
between

So
that
the
amendment
to

may
be
enacted.
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
council
replaced
the
words
document

the
end

with
the

document
nine
and
therefore
be
it
further
resolved.
That

hold

Our

their
patio

repulso
las
vegas.
A
You
know,
there's
a
group
in
my
neighborhood
that
every
year
paints
the
road,
but
then
it
just
vanishes.
I'm
wondering:
is
there
not
some
kind
of
paint
we
can
use
so
that
they
put
the
paint
down
and
it
stays
for
a
couple
of
years?
It
seems
like
a
bit
of
a
waste
of
money
to
to
paint
it
every
year.
It's
beautifully
done
on
what
street
is
that
teresa?
I
think
it's
on
ancaster
yeah.
I
just.
A
A
B
A
I
wondered
you
know,
I
don't
want
a
big.
You
know
study
on
this,
but
if
someone
could
look
at
you
know
if
there's
some
kind
of
varnish
or
something
because
they
do
this
beautiful
work
and
every
year
it
gets
it
evaporates
because
of
salt
and
grime
and
everything
else.
So
maybe
staff
can
just
look
at
that.
A
A
So
on
the
bulk
incentive
end
is
presented
carried
all
right,
so
we'll
go
back
to
the
first
item
that
we
held.
This
is
residential
vacant
unit
tax,
councillor,
eglai
and
kitts
have
worked
with
a
number
of
members
of
council.
I
know
council,
hubley
and
tierney
and
others
to
bring
this
forward,
and
we
thank
them
for
that.
So
councillor
igle,
if
you'd
like
to
introduce
the
amendment-
and
this
has
the
support
of
ms
stephenson,
our
treasurer.
H
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you,
ms
stephenson
and
her
team
for
being
flexible
on
this.
I
think
most
people
around
around
the
horseshoe
think
that
we
have
to
get
a
handle
on
the
issue
of
vacant
units
in
the
city.
However,
equally
I
think
there
are
a
number
of
us
that
were
concerned
about
the
penalty
piece.
H
H
While
we
have
people
looking
for
housing,
and
so
I
think
I
think
the
motion,
I
hope
the
motion
that
that
councilor
kits
and
I
have
put
forward
balances
those
two
concerns
addresses
the
vacant
units,
but
also
doesn't
put
an
undue
hardship,
financially
or
otherwise,
on
the
majority
of
our
residential
property
owners,
who
don't
own
more
than
one
home
and
and
may
have
missed
it
as
they
say
for
for
no
fault
of
their
own,
so
leave
it
at
that.
For
for
now,
mr
mayor,
I
may
want
to
do
wrap
up,
but
that's
the
introduction.
B
B
Okay,
thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
putting
forward
a
motion.
I've
heard
from
residents
who
are
concerned
particularly
seniors,
who
do
their
banking,
their
property
tax
through
a
bank,
and
they
don't
see
paper
so
I'm
very
very
concerned
about
missing
the
deadline
not
being
aware
of
the
deadline.
B
So
I'd
like
to
get
some
answers
on
what
we
can
do
for
those.
I
appreciate
the
the
number
of
circumstances
that
have
been
covered
off,
but
one
of
the
concerns
I
have-
and
we
do
have
the
highest
number
of
seniors
in
in
the
city
in
in
bayward
to
prevent
just
not
realizing
this
happened
and
being
caught
out
totally
innocent.
B
D
B
K
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
forgive
me
madam
treasurer.
I
know
you
answered
that
question,
but
we
didn't
hear
nothing
earlier.
So
the
question
we
get
asked
time
and
time
again:
if
people
dealing
with
the
banking,
how
would
they
be
able
to
be
notified?
That's
the
question
we
we
we
receive
many
time
and
the
other
question
is:
why
do
they
have
to
do
it
every
year?
D
Thank
you
councillor.
I
think
your
first
question
was:
how
do
we
deal
with
the
banking?
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
so
just
the
communications
are
not
going
to
go
specifically
like
and
directed
with
the
tax
bill.
They
will
be
part
of
that
communication
plan.
However,
we're
going
to
send
several
communications
via
letter
format
and
inserts
and
notifications
to
people
well
in
advance.
D
So
we've
kicked
off
the
campaign,
we're
going
to
send
probably
five
or
six
different
communications
to
a
person
outside
of
that
property
tax
bill.
So
they
are
well
aware
of
everything
that
they
need
to
do.
We're
also
going
to
leverage
all
kinds
of
other
tools
that
we
have
in
terms
of
using
our
social
media,
the
city's
website.
D
You
know
twitter
and
things
like
that
and
then
also
leveraging
local
associations,
community
groups,
the
real
estate
association
to
really
get
that
message
out.
So
we're
going
to
take
a
very
a
wide
stance
in
terms
of
those
communications
to
make
sure
that
everyone
knows,
if
someone's
paying
with
their
mortgage
institution,
which
is,
I
think,
some
of
the
questions
that
we
have
received
from
different
people
is.
How
are
they
going
to
know
that?
Because
they
don't
get
a
property
tax
bill
and
remember,
the
communications
will
not
be
specific
to
a
property
tax
bill.
H
K
A
K
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
want
to
thank
our
treasurer,
wendy
and
and
joseph
from
her
team
for
their
work
on
this,
because
I
support
councillor
aguilar's
motion.
I
appreciate
that
staff
have
recognized
the
concerns
that
my
residents
and
other
residents
across
the
city
have
brought
forward
to
their
counselors
with
not
the
program.
I
think
we
have
general
consensus
here
that
there's
a
need
to
address
the
program
here,
we're
always
looking
for
ways
to
get
more
funding
into
affordable
housing.
So
I
support
that
as
well.
K
K
So
I
appreciate
that
staff
have
recognized
that
there's
going
to
be
those
challenges,
they're
going
to
make
improvements
to
the
communication
plans,
they're
going
to
have
the
ability
to
to
waive
penalties
if,
if
deemed
appropriate-
and
so
I
will
support
this
motion
today,
given
the
changes,
if
this,
if
this
motion
goes
through,
I
will
support
the
program
going
forward.
Thank
you.
H
Great.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Thank
you
very
much
wendy,
and
I
want
to
thank
my
colleague
keith
for
putting
this
forward,
because
I
think
of
a
lot
of
us
were
under
the
assumption
that
we
were
going
to
target
people
with
multiple
homes
and
that
wasn't
the
the
case
and
the
explanation.
Why
and
I'm
looking
at
wendy.
H
D
Yeah,
thank
you
for
the
counselor
and
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
that,
because
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
questions
with
respect
to
the
recommendation
you
have
before
you
today
around
the
mandatory
reporting
and
that's
really
key
in
terms
of
getting
compliance
to
this
program.
That's
what
we've
heard
from
all
the
municipalities
worldwide
who
have
implemented
this.
You
look
at
three
options
that
are
available.
D
One
of
the
unfortunate
things
is
municipalities
and
the
city
of
ottawa
does
not
know,
say
counselor,
you
know
if
you
own
five
homes.
We
necessarily
don't
know
that
those
five
are
yours
and
which
one
is
your
principal
residence
and
that's
why
you
see
that
recommendation
before
you
today?
We
have
us
for
that
annual
declaration.
D
H
Okay,
great
so
on
that,
let's
say
hypothetically
as
a
city
councilor
we're
in
the
first
year
of
the
program,
and
I
have
a
rate
constituent
that
emails
us
is
that
appropriate
channel
where
you'd
send
them
off
to
your
department
and
say
clearly,
there's
a
mistake
now
in
light
of
keith's
motion,
it
can
be
reversed
and
how?
How
immediate
would
that
be
because
seniors
don't
like
partner
with
their
money?
And
I
don't
blame
them.
D
Yeah,
thank
you
counselor.
Definitely,
that's
for
something
for
staff
to
take
care
of,
and
they
will
action
that
via
we're
gonna
have
a
a
very
specific
communication
box.
That's
gonna
be
set
up,
it's
gonna
be
an
email
box
where
they
can
send
an
email.
So
you
can
flip
that
off
there
or
you
can
simply
have
them
reach
out
to
us
via
phone
and
we
will
take
care
of
it.
H
H
I
Thank
you
very
much
mayor.
I
support
the
egg
lie
and
kitts
motion
appreciate
that
I
also
support
the
main
motion.
Like
the
province
has
given
municipalities
very
limited
tools.
We've
got
the
provision
of
public
goods
and
services
that
has
been
increasingly
downloaded
to
the
municipal
order
of
government
from
other
orders,
and
we
need
to
augment
those
city
revenue
generating
powers
that
results
in
you
know
ever
increasing
upward
pressure
on
the
city's
main
source
of
revenue,
which
is
the
property
tax.
I
This
is
a
practical
way
for
the
city
to
start
to
reallocate
that
property
tax
burden
in
a
more
progressive
way,
and
so
to
put
it
succinctly,
paying
to
create
a
bed
in
a
non-market
housing
unit,
will
always
be
the
cheaper
option
for
taxpayers
than
paying
for
a
bed
in
a
shelter,
a
hotel,
a
hospital
or
prison.
We're
able
to
see
to
allow
more
units
to
come
on
the
market.
This
way,
not
addressing
the
growing
unaffordable
of
housing
costs,
costs
the
public,
including
the
municipality.
In
other
ways
too.
I
The
increasing
cost
of
housing
contributes
to
impoverishment
and
the
other
social
ills
that
come
with
it,
which
means
in
a
greater
need
for
health
services,
protective
services,
social
services,
social
security
and
the
bureaucracy.
That
comes
with
all
of
that,
and
so
I
guess
in
other
words,
the
consequence
of
growing
housing
and
affordability
in
ottawa
and
beyond
is
really
costing
us
more
than
it
would
if
we
were
to
instead
better
invest
in
the
creation
of
affordable
housing.
I
Now
not
making
this
investment
will
put
upward
pressure
on
taxes
at
every
other
level
of
government,
and
so
the
current
vacancy
tax
proposal,
I
think,
puts
us
on
a
path
that
sees
us
pay
less
overall
and
will
target
those
most
able
to
pay.
I
would
also
just
say
that
it's
important
that
this
is
mandatory.
I
We've
seen
it
we've
heard
from
staff.
If
it's
not
mandatory,
it
doesn't
work
in
jurisdiction
after
jurisdiction.
The
research
that
they've
done
shows
that
it
doesn't
work
unless
it's
mandatory,
I
think
ticking
a
box
is
a
fairly
easy
thing
to
do
for
the
benefit
that
will
come
with
this
program.
I
appreciate
staff's
efforts
on
this
and
council's
efforts
in
moving
this
forward
and
yours
mayor
and
we'll
be
happy
to
vote
for
this
today.
B
D
Yeah
there'll
be
deadlines
with
respect
to
it
and
those
will
come
in
the
communications
that
we
set
up.
They
were
outlined
in
the
report
as
well,
with
the
first
deadline
being
around
the
interim
tax
billing
and
again
it's
going
to
be
a
simple
log
into
my,
so
we
really
encourage
that.
We
also
respect
the
fact
that
not
everybody
can
do
their
business
that
way,
but
again,
very
simply
check
the
box.
B
J
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
I
didn't
realize
everyone
was
going
to
say
what
they
said,
so
I
could
have
I'll
make
this
brief,
because
I
agree
with
a
lot
of
what
I've
already
heard,
but
mandatory
requirements
for
reporting.
We
have
that
for
our
income
tax,
as
counselor
tierney
said,
people
are
used
to
that
in
the
canada
north
office.
I
think
we've
only
gotten
three
or
four
emails
on
this.
J
However,
I
feel
like
when
it's
in
place
we'll
get
more,
but
I'm
hearing
assurances
that
that
will
be
managed
well
and
easily,
and
we
have
a
role
to
play
too
in
making
sure
people
understand
what
they
have
to
do,
if
they're
wrongly
charged
how
they
can
get
that
reverse.
So
I
think
we
can.
We
can
do
a
lot
just
even
as
city
councilors,
and
I
agree
with
everything
councillor
menard
said
about
the
the
reason
for
this
in
the
first
place.
E
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
wendy,
just
to
just
a
couple
of
clarifying
questions.
If
you
don't
mind
for
for
myself
and
for
the
public,
if
I'm
you
know
a
colonel
in
the
canadian
forces
and-
and
I
realize
that
it's
discussed
in
the
motion,
but
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
clear
on
this,
if
I'm
a
canadian
armed
forces
colonel
I'm
posted
to
england
for
three
years
and
I'm
not
comfortable
renting
out
my
home
here
in
orleans,
am
I
going
to
have
to
pay
this
tax.
D
E
Okay,
thank
you.
Let's
say
I'm
a
small
landlord
and
right
now
the
landlord
tenant
board
has
backed
up
for
about
two
years
and
I
have
no
protection
on
my
investment.
So
I
keep
my
unit
vacant
until
the
backlog
is
cleared.
How
long
am
I
free
to
keep
that
unit
vacant
after
this
comes
into
force
before
I'm
charged?
This
tax.
D
E
Okay,
I've
bought
a
victorian
home
in
in
the
glebe
and
it
requires
quite
a
bit
of
updating
like
it's
all.
Let's
say
it's,
you
know
it's
all.
You
know
tube
wiring.
It
needs
a
a
massive
massive
renovation
before
I'm
able
to
rent
it
out.
Do
I
have
to
complete
those
renovations
within
six
months
or
if
there's
you
know,
eight
months
worth
of
renovations.
That
need
to
be
done
and
will
I
be
free
and
clear
of
this
tax,
or
am
I
gonna
have
to
pay
it
after
six
months.
D
E
That's
that's
an
excellent
clarification.
I
do
really
appreciate
that.
So
you
know
homeowners
that
only
own
one
home
are.
We
gonna
have
to
check
this
box
every
year,
or
can
we
not
simply
assume
that
you
know
residents
that
have
only
one
home
in
the
city
that
that
it's
that
it's
checked
after
the
first
year?
If
there's
no
change
so
do
we
have
to
come
back
only
if
there's
a
change?
E
Are
we
going
to
have
to
check
this
box
every
year,
because
I
do
have
the
same
concern
that
counselor
kavanaugh
raised
where
you
know
my.
My
tax
role
is
paid
through
my
mortgage
and
at
my
bank.
So
am
I
going
to
have
to
log
in
every
year
or
can
I
check
it
off
this
year
and
then
just
be
safe
until
perhaps
there's
a
change?
D
I
appreciate
your
question
on
that.
We
are
requiring
a
mandatory
declaration
every
year
and
I
say
that
because
the
city
doesn't
know
what's
happening
at
that
property,
you
may
sell
it.
You
may
move
something,
may
change
and
we
don't
have
that
information.
So
we
are
recommending
that
mandatory
annual
declaration
process.
As
I
said
earlier,
we
will
be
reporting
back
annually
and
two
times
next
year
and
if
there's,
if
we're
seeing
issues
or
have
changes
to
that
process,
we
will
bring
that
back
to
council.
E
D
F
F
F
I
think
it's
reasonable
to
ask
homeowners
to
take
a
simple
administrative
step
of
checking
a
box
once
a
year.
The
advantage
that
people
who
own
property
owned
homes
have
right
now
over
people
who
do
not
is
significant.
I'm
glad
to
see
councillor
eglise
motion
and
thank
you
counselor
kits
for
second
again,
and
I
think
these
are
good
questions
around
how
the
mechanics
of
this
will
work.
F
I'm
also
glad
to
hear,
I
think,
general
support
for
this
vacant
unit
tax
around
the
council
table
balancing
the
simple
administrative
process
of
attesting,
whether
or
not
you
own
a
vacant
property
is
a
very
small
thing
to
ask
of
homeowners,
especially
with
the
benefits
that
we'll
see
from
this.
We
we
will
see
more
units
going
on
the
market
that
are
currently
vacant.
F
It's
a
strong
incentive
to
property
owners
to
keep
livable
homes
and
available
to
people
who
are
looking
for
somewhere
to
live,
and
it
also
directs
revenue
from
the
tax
to
affordable
housing
initiatives,
which
is
significant
too.
There
is
no
one
policy,
no
one
bylaw,
no
one
exercise
that
will
solve
housing,
affordability,
it's
going
to
be
a
whole
suite
of
policies,
and
this
is
a
very
useful
one.
So
thank
you
to
staff
who
have
put
this
together
and
I'll
be
supporting
councillor
aglai's
amendment
and
the
and
the
entire
report.
Thank
you.
L
It
says
if
the
property
owner
was
unable
to
return
to
canada
from
abroad
due
to
extinction.
Continuating
circumstances
during
the
declaration
period
upon
presentation
of
the
proof.
So
I
understand
this
could
be,
for
example,
a
snowboard,
snowbird
or
swan.
I
respect
the
intent
of
that
motion.
I
want
to
take
it
a
bit
further
and
understand
if
one
of
the
affordability
measures
is
not
to
see
foreign
buyers
of
homes
in
ottawa
and
obviously
the
vacant
tax
would
is
that
intense.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
we
don't
miss
misstep
here.
L
So
if
someone
has
a
property
in
ottawa,
could
they
and
but
say
they
they've
said?
Oh,
you
know
I
plan
to
come
back
to
ottawa
this
month,
but
was
unable
to
and
can't
fill
that,
how
do
we
capture
the
difference
between
someone
who
actually
lives
here,
rather
than
as
abroad,
and
sort
of
excuses
themselves
from
for
not
being
back
in
time
for
filling
that
box?
So
I
I
just
I
understand
the
intent
of
that
box.
D
Great
question
councillor
and
I
can
certainly
provide
some
clarification
to
that.
That
is
not
the
intent
with
respect
to
that
bullet
that
you
see
there,
the
the
property
must
be
your
principal
residence.
So
if
there's
someone
who
is
living
abroad
and
has
a
residence
elsewhere,
this
is
not
their
principal
residence.
D
L
D
A
B
F
Yeah
it's
a
short
motion.
I
could
probably
just
read
that,
therefore,
be
it
resolve
and
explain
what
this
is
therefore
be.
It
resolved
that
council
replaced
document
one
with
the
revised
document.
One
attached
clarifying
the
city's
response
to
the
55
ontario
housing.
Affordability
task
force
recommendations,
so
we
spent
four
hours
discussing
this
at
planning
committee
two
weeks
ago
and
in
order
to
capture
that
discussion
as
well
as
subsequent
feedback
from
counselors,
steve
willis
and
his
team
have
made
some
changes
to
their
report.
Recommendations
to
reflect
these
discussions.
L
A
I
think
we
just
passed
it
so
we'll
be
sent
to
them
today.
Mr
channel
actors,
mr
willis,
we
can
send
this
to
the
province
today.
Mr
mary
will
be
sent
today.
Okay,
thank
you.
Next
is
transportation
committee
number
report
number
twenty
six,
our
polynomial
event
system,
brian
coburn,
cumberland,
transit,
way.
Extension.
L
I
I've
I
asked
for
the
item
to
be
held.
I
will
dissent
today
and
I
shared
with
eastern
colleagues,
that
it's
not
that
I
don't
support
staff
recommendation.
I
do
support
counselor
kits's
motion
on
a
100
day
solution.
I
hope
that
through
that
solution,
the
agreement
comes
forward
and
at
that
point
I'll
review
the
report.
So
I
wanted
to
explain
publicly
my
dissent,
many
of
your
residents
reached
out
and
and
looking
for
clarification,
so
I
thought
for
the
record
that
it
was
important.
L
H
B
B
H
No,
I
I
appreciate
what
transportation
committee
did.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
staff
wasn't
going
to
be
put
through
filing
the
ea
and
then
maybe
at
the
end,
100
days
having
to
figure
out
how
to
unfile
the
ea
and
file
an
amended
ea,
but
you're
telling
me
that's
not
going
to
happen
so
so
that
I
appreciate
that
clarity.
Thank
you.
H
M
Yes,
thank
you
I'll
be
brief.
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
and
thank
city
staff,
but
as
well
as
the
community.
This
has
been.
This
has
been
decades
in
the
making
in
terms
of
public
consultations
and
conversations
about
how
to
address
a
sustainable
need
for
sustainable
transportation
networks
in
the
east
end.
M
As
it's
been
said,
there
is
a
lot
of
work
left
to
do,
there's
a
lot
of
need
for
further
consultations
and
conversations
with
the
ncc,
and
I
do
respect
their
stance
in
regards
to
maintaining
the
environment
and
and
protecting
the
green
space
that
we
all
enjoy
in
the
east
and
across
the
city.
However,
I
will
point
out
that
this
connection
is
the
preferred
option,
by
not
only
staff
but
by
the
community
as
large.
M
It
has
been
a
long
time
in
the
making,
as
I've
really
previously
stated,
and
it
is
truly
only
catching
up
to
the
extent
of
residential
development
we
have
already
seen
in
south
orleans
and
the
east
end
in
particular.
So
I
wanted
to
just
state
that
I
do
appreciate
very
much
the
many
many
years
that
have
gone
into
this
development,
and
I
wanted
to
also
thank
previous
politicians
as
well
as
current
politicians
in
the
east
end,
who
have
unanimously
stood
behind
option
seven.
So
thank
you
very
much.
I
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor.
I
I
too
I'm
going
to
support
the
kip's
motion
for
negotiation
with
the
ncc.
We
did
have
a
lengthy
discussion
about
this
at
committee,
so
I
won't
go
too
much
into
it,
but
we'd
received
a
submission.
I
think,
just
today
or
yesterday
from
pat
thiolis
who's.
The
president
of
the
chateauneuf
community
association
in
orleans
and
his
letter
really
outlines
some
of
the
issues
that
we're
seeing.
I
We
don't
have
an
agreement
with
the
ncc,
and
yet
we
are
moving
forward
with
an
ea
for
the
option
that
they
haven't
agreed
to.
In
this
motion,
and
for
years
the
city
worked
with
communities
and
the
ncc
to
find
an
appropriate
route
for
this
project
and
in
2013
and
again
in
2016
option,
one
was
identified
and
agreed.
I
I
don't
have
a
a
stake
in
the
option
that
that
is
selected
except
that
option.
Seven
has
large
environmental
impacts
and
the
ncc
hasn't
agreed
to
it.
We
are
in
a
climate
emergency
and
the
expansion
of
our
roads
for
car
traffic
isn't
the
way
we
need
to
be
going
in
the
future.
We
need
to
be
building
bus
ways.
I
support
the
residents
in
this
area
who
need
another
connection,
and
it's
unfortunate
that
this
was
built
without
that
connection.
I
I
You
can
see
that
in
los
angeles
or
any
other
city
across
the
world,
one
more
lane
does
not
fix
the
problem,
and
so
I
think
it's
it's
irrational
for
us
to
push
forward
a
plan
when
we
haven't
even
had
that
hundred
days,
negotiation,
which
counselor
kits,
I
think
rightly
put
on
the
table
to
have
that
negotiation
so
I'll
be
voting
for
the
kids
motion
and
then
the
separate
item
voting
against
the
overall
plan
until
we
can
come
back
with
an
agreement
with
the
ncc
thanks
mayor.
Thank
you.
Councillor.
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
You
know
you've
all
heard
me
speak
at
length
about
this
in
various
committees.
One
of
the
most
pressing
issues
facing
the
south
end
of
orleans
is
that
development
has
outpaced
infrastructure
and
development
in
the
south.
End
of
orleans
has
been
absolutely
explosive.
In
the
last
15
years,
we
just
had
a
great
debate
around
the
vut,
where
we
acknowledge
that
housing
stock
in
ottawa
is
needed.
C
There
is
land
in
south
orleans
slated
for
development,
but
the
lack
of
transit
and
active
transportation
infrastructure
creates
this
untenable
situation,
where
we
are
forced
to
create
more
car
centric
developments,
which
really
flies
in
the
face
of
the
goals
we're
trying
to
achieve
as
a
city.
So
I
was
very
pleased
to
get
unanimous
support
at
committee
for
my
motion,
which
directs
the
minister
responsible
for
the
ncc
to
strike
a
joint
committee
with
the
city
and
the
ncc
to
report
back
within
a
hundred
days
for
a
path
forward
for
this
impasse.
C
The
ncc
certainly
hasn't
been
shy
about
their
position,
and
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
misinformation
about
option.
Seven.
It
does
not
cross
the
bog,
it
would
actually
remove
cars
from
a
section
of
renault
road
which
does
cross
into
the
ramsar
border.
It
has
less
habitat
fragmentation
than
option,
one,
which
is
one
of
the
ncc's
preferred
option,
less
impact
on
core
natural
areas,
meaning
the
results
in
the
loss
of
fewer
trees
and
and
the
cost
is
significantly
less.
C
So
we
did
have
a
really
great
conversation
about
this
at
planning
committee,
but
option
seven
would
expand
an
existing
east-west
corridor
that
would
include
bus,
rapid
transit,
a
safe
cycling
commuting
option
through
south
orleans,
which
simply
does
not
exist
at
present,
and
you
know
I
won't
repeat
everything
my
my
council
colleague,
counselor
dudas
said,
but
this
is
a
long-standing
issue.
It's
critical
infrastructure
and
I
urge
my
colleagues
to
support
it
today.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
All.
E
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor.
You
know
we
can't
walk
to
a
grocery
store
here
in
orleans
and
we
can't
walk
to
work.
We
built
up
our
south
without
the
proper
infrastructure
to
support
it
and
this
option.
Seven
is
writing
a
historical
wrong,
listen
to
what
our
residents
are
saying
and
listen
to
what
our
staff
are
saying.
Counselor
kitts
is
right.
E
The
environmental
impacts
are
nowhere
near
what
they're
being
trumped
up
to
be
and
friends
of
the
mayor
blue
bog,
who
are
tasked
and
have
taken
it
upon
themselves
to
protect
this
incredible
gem
are
in
agreement
that
option
seven
is
the
best
way
forward.
The
city
is
bending
over
backward,
giving
up
land
to
support
our
preferred
option.
E
A
I
A
I'll
just
read
it
out
item
one
approve,
prove
the
functional
design
for
the
brian
coburn
cumberland
transit
way.
Extension
navin
road
to
blair,
road
at
innis
for
the
ultimate
road
and
transit
way
plan
option
seven,
as
outlined
in
in
the
report.
I
encourage
members
to
support
our
colleagues
in
the
east.
End
yays
and
nays
have
been
asked
for
this.
N
O
H
I
E
B
G
A
A
G
G
I
want
to
start
by
saying
that
it's
no
secret,
that
I
love
scooters
and
I
think
everybody
should
take
scooters
to
move
around
whether
battery
powered
or
leg
powered
their
micro
mobility.
That
allows
us
to
expand
our
distance
to
get
to
things
like
transit.
It's
it's.
You
know.
We
know
that
they're
used
for
for
leisure,
but
also
to
get
to
work
and
just
getting
around
our
neighborhoods.
G
However,
up
until
now
it's
it's
been
unfortunate
that
we
have
not
had
the
outcomes
that
I
had
hoped
we
would
have
after
the
first
season
two
seasons
ago.
It
got
better,
but
the
companies
involved
can
do
much
better.
The
the
issue
really
it's
two
key
issues:
one
is
sidewalk
riding,
which
is
dangerous,
especially
for
anyone
with
an
accessibility
issue.
If
you're
vision
impaired
if
you're
using
a
wheelchair,
a
walker
if
you're
a
senior
to
have
these
scooters
riding
on
the
sidewalks
is,
is
unsafe.
G
G
All
over
the
city,
there
is
no
furniture
zone
so
when
they're
parked
they're
parked
in
a
manner
that
doesn't
allow
somebody
to
get
by
if
they're
pushing
a
stroller
on
the
street,
if
they're,
using
a
walker,
if
they're
in
a
wheelchair,
they're
blind,
they
could
just
fall
over
them
and
not
just
not
enough
has
been
done.
I
want
to
put
pressure
on
the
companies
to
do
better.
G
I
believe
that
the
the
companies
profit
you
know
their
their
aim
for
profits
will
certainly
compel
them
to
figure
out
how
to
keep
people
from
riding
their
scooters
on
the
sidewalks.
They
can
be
geofence,
but
it's
going
to
cost
them
a
bit
more
money.
It's
going
to
take
extra
technology
and
then
you
know
the
the
issue
of
parking.
G
G
G
But
when
I
look
at
the
when
I
look
at
the
accessibility
advisory
committee,
what
came
back
when
I
hear
people
who've
come
to
us
who
who
are
very
concerned
because
of
their
accessibility
with
the
scooter
program?
I
just
cannot
in
good
faith,
say
yes
again.
I
hope
that
with
enough
nays
around
the
table,
it
will
compel
and
push
these
for-profit
companies
to
go
back
and
to
do
better
and
to
come
back
with
a
product
that
does
not
put
anyone
especially.
A
G
P
Thank
you,
your
worship
and
I
would
like
to
concur
with
what
my
colleague
has
just
stated
to
to
council.
While
there
has
been
a
significant
improvement
in
this
program,
has
clear
benefits
to
reaching
our
climate
and
transportation
goals.
It
is
difficult
to
support
this
report,
given
the
accessibility
advisory
committee's
position,
no
matter
how
many
of
our
residents
are
being
challenged
or
endangered
by
e-scooters.
Those
experiences
cannot
be
discounted,
no
matter
how
fast.
The
response
time
is
by
the
vendors
participating
in
this
pilot
to
address
a
miss
parked
scooter.
P
It
only
takes
a
few
minutes
for
a
scooter
parked
in
the
wrong
place
to
create
a
hazard.
While
I
would
like
to
see
this
technology
work
and
be
used
safely,
I
believe
it
is
our
responsibility
to
listen
to
our
most
vulnerable
members
of
our
community
and
hence
I'll
be
voting
against
this
report.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
B
B
B
B
The
companies
have
to
do
a
lot
more
to
ensure
that
they
cannot
be
used
on
sidewalks,
that
there
is
a
place
to
park
them
and
other
things,
but
so
I
would
I
would
love
to
support
it
again
and
to
see
us
go
forward
with
this
project,
because
we
do
need
active
transportation
and
it
is
a
good
way
to
get
around.
But
that
said,
I
find
the
nuisance,
and
the
hazard
is
just
makes
it
impossible
for
me
to
support
this
report
today,
so
I'll
be
voting.
No.
Thank
you.
Thank.
L
And
I
want
to
start
by
thanking
the
chair
of
the
committee
and
staff.
I've
been
extremely
hard
on
on
all
of
them
over
the
last
the
last
year
that
the
pilot
was
not
successful
and
staff
captured
that
in
the
report
and
with
the
recommendations
that
are
in
front
of
us,
we
at
committee
also
did
the
work
the
way
the
writing
of
these
will
happen
is
clear.
You
can't
write
the
sidewalk.
The
motor
will
be
shut
down.
L
It's
a
requirement
of
the
new,
whoever
successfully
wins
this
and
then
the
city's
getting
organized
around
the
complaints
around
how
to
get
those
complaints
internally
to
3-1-1
and
penalize
financially
penalize
the
operators
who
are
not
respecting
or
respecting
our
clear
way,
respecting
our
pedestrian
realm.
So
I
guess
you
know.
I
understand
some
colleagues
concern.
I
I
unders
I
share
them,
but
I
think
that
what
we
have
in
front
of
us
is
a
report
that
changes
that
I
think
it's
difficult
when,
when
we
vote
on
in
favor
of
climate
change,
we
want
a
modal
shift.
L
We
want
to
encourage
these.
What
are
disruptive
technologies,
but
we
also
have
to
manage
them
better,
and
I
actually
think
the
report
does
that.
So
you
know
I
I
I
understand
that
concerns
we
have
to
be
on
top
of
it
and
ultimately
it's
staff
that
will
need
to
procure
and
sign
the
agreement
to
another
pilot,
which
means
it
will
come
back
to
committee,
so
I
I
just
want
to
I.
I
want
to
bring
the
context
of
the
work
that
led
to
the
updated
report
and
the
motions
that
were
presented
at
transportation.
L
I
I
think
with
that
we
do
bring
in
the
safeguard
it's
again
a
pilot.
So
if
I
I
hope
that
council
members,
who
will
be
here
to
review
the
outcome
of
the
the
the
pilot
stay
true
to
the
objectives
today,
which
is,
we
have
an
unsuccessful
pilot,
two
main
issues,
writing
and
parking
when
when
we
come
back
or
when
the
report
comes
back
at
the
end
of
the
year,
if,
if
these
issues
remain,
then
you
have
real
tough
questions
to
ask
and
perhaps
the
pilot
never
extends.
L
B
Thank
you
very
much.
One
of
the
concerns
I
had
was
the
parking,
the
parking
of,
and
even
though
the
there's
a
commitment
to
pick
them
up
within
15
minutes,
or
so.
I
still
feel
that
that
is
a
hazardous
time,
I'm
thinking,
particularly
of
those
with
sight
loss
of
sight
and
using
guide
dogs
etc.
This
is
this
is
still
problematic
and
that
that's
I
I
we
have
to
listen
to
our
accessibility
advisors
and
we
have
an
advisory
committee.
B
N
Thank
you.
I
just
was
thinking
back.
You
know
we
started
this
in
june
of
2020.
I
think
I
was
one
of
the
only
two
counselors
to
vote
against
it
at
that
time.
I'd
seen
this
these
scooters
piloted
elsewhere
and
a
lot
of
the
concerns
that
you're
you're
hearing
today
from
members
of
council
were
concerns
then
as
well.
N
Of
course,
it
was
like
a
20
to
two
vote
in
favor
of
proceeding
with
the
pilot,
but
it's
a
pilot,
and
when
it
came
back
last
year,
I
think
I
saw
a
willingness
from
the
service
providers
and
some
diligence
by
the
city
to
try
to
address
those
concerns
and
work
toward
those
a
tortilla
of
solution
that
works
better
for
ottawa.
I
think
we're
seeing
that
again
here
we
just
heard
counselor
fleury
speak
to
you
know.
We
heard
one
counselor
say
that
they
can't
ride
on
sidewalks,
because
they're
fully
addressed
that.
N
I
think
counselor
tyranny's
gonna
address
that
too.
Talking
about
that,
they're
they're
working
to
fix
those
problems-
and
I
think,
if
we're
a
year
from
now
and
we're
hearing
all
the
same
concerns
and
all
the
same
problems
and
we're
talking
about
a
permanent
situation
here
with
permitting
e-scooters,
then
that's
the
time
to
vote
against
it.
N
But
I
think
when
we
have
operators
that
are
willing
to
sort
through
issues
and
come
back
in
a
year
and
look
at
this
again
because
we
know
there's
a
benefit
to
scooters
from
that
mobile
transportation
perspective
from
that
that
alternative
option
and
and
they're
widely
popular
in
in
communities
I
like
downtown,
where
they're
used
all
over,
I
see
them
around
landsdowne.
Yes,
there's
no
question
that
some
of
them
are
used
in
appropriately
and
parked
inappropriately
and
those
are
the
things
that
need
to
be
addressed.
J
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
You
know
listening
to
all
these
various
comments.
Counselor
king
makes
some
very
good
points.
Counselor
me
and
makes
some
very
good
points,
and
I
think
we
have
to
be
cognizant
of
that
when
I
hear
counselor
fleury
saying
that
we
have
been,
then
that
makes
me
feel
that
we
should
support
this,
because
that
you
know
counselor
king's
points
are
very
important.
We
have
to
make
sure
that
we
have
listened
to
what
we
learned
in
the
pilot,
and
I
think
we,
this
motion
is
indicating
that
we
have.
J
I
met
with
the
account
with
the
scooter
company,
and
I
made
those
very
points
and
what
about
these
people?
You
know
driving
on
the
sidewalks
at
high
speeds,
what
about
people
leaving
their
scooters
everywhere,
and
they
had
very
good
answers:
the
geofencing,
the
continuing
to
charge
people
until
they
actually
officially
park
it
and
park
it
properly,
like
those
are
pretty
significant
solutions,
I
feel
so.
J
H
H
Look
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
he's
brought
forward
over
the
last
couple
of
years
are
certainly
things
that
we've
all
seen
what
staff
have
done
is
nothing
more
than
miraculous
by
putting
the
screws
to
these
e-schooner
companies
by
forcing
them
to
change
what
they're
doing.
Just
a
quick
reminder,
we're
actually
in
the
report
and
people
had
attended
a
very
lengthy
and
good
debate,
a
transportation
committee.
H
Thank
you
because
you
heard
a
lot
of
the
points
you
won't
be
able
to
ride
the
new
generation
scooters
and
that's
what
they're
required
to
bring
to
the
table
on
the
sidewalks.
You
won't
be
able
to
park
them
illegally
if
you're,
if
you're
riding
in
a
regular
fashion,
you
can
be
canned
from
the
app
very
quickly.
We've
also
put
some
big
constraints
on
the
fact
that,
instead
of
from
one
hour,
they
have
15
minutes
to
pick
up
their
scooter.
Otherwise
it's
going
to
the
pound
and
they're
gonna
have
to
pay
to
get
it
out.
H
We
also
are
going
from
1200
scooters
down
to
900,
so
they
have
to
be
more
agile
and
get
out
there
and
pick
up
their
scooters.
If
there's
any
problems,
we've
come
up
with
a
reporting
system.
That's
centralized!
There's
a
lot
of
points
in
here
that
support
one
more
year
of
a
pilot
project,
we'll
see
how
it
goes
with
the
new
technology.
We've
told
them
all,
don't
bother,
bringing
your
old,
antiquated
technology,
it
won't
work.
The
two
that
come
through
the
gate
are
going
to
be
tested
by
city
staff.
H
I
even
asked
during
committee
if
staff
would
be
able
to
meet
with
counselors
and
show
them
the
technology
to
show
that
it
actually
works.
We
have
a
lot
of
gates
in
this
one
before
they
actually
get
rolling
on
the
streets
of
ottawa,
so
I
feel
very
confident
I
think
the
most
important
question
I
asked
was:
if
a
company
does
not
live
up
to
the
reputation,
can
we
pull
their
car?
H
H
E
H
G
A
O
As
you
know,
bill
21
prohibits
persons
from
wearing
religious
symbols
while
exercising
their
functions
in
workplaces,
in
schools
and
in
government
institutions.
This
predominantly
targets
religious
and
ethnic
minorities
who
wear
religious
symbols
such
as
hijabs,
kippahs
and
turbans.
The
most
recent
example
of
bill
21
being
exercised
was
right
next
door
in
chelsea
quebec,
where
a
grade
3
teacher,
a
much
loved
grade,
3
teacher,
was
removed
from
her
classroom
for
wearing
a
hijab.
This
is
nothing
other
than
discrimination
and
as
canadians
we
cannot
stand
by
and
let
our
rights
be
eroded.
O
Having
said
that,
mr
mayor,
I
have
been
asked
by
members
of
the
community's
most
impacted,
most
adversely
impacted
by
bill
21,
to
withdraw
the
motion
today
to
allow
those
community
groups
to
have
more
time
the
time
they
believe
they
need
to
organize
around
this
very
important
issue
for
them.
So
with
that
said,
counselor
king
and
I
have
discussed
it
and
have
decided
to
withdraw
the
motion
today
and
we
will
bring
it
back
at
a
later
date
when
community
organizations
believe
that
they're
ready
to
have
this
debated
on
the
floor
of
council.
Thank
you.
A
L
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
wonder
if
it
clerk,
if
it
could
be
added
to
the
screen,
while
that's
being
done,
I
want
to
thank
steve
k
and
and
the
the
city's
senior
management
office
for
following
last
council
meeting,
helping
with
some
of
the
warning
to
be
more
comprehensive
and
capture
both
the
the
the
political
and
city
needs
in
this
effort
of
reviewing
its
governance.
L
I
also
want
to
thank
colleagues
specifically
councillor
king
councillor,
duda
councilor
gower
councillor
kitts
for
meeting
over
the
over
the
march
break
really
to
go
over
a
number
of
these
elements.
I
we
we
want
to
show
unity
in
this
matter.
If
we
are
going
to
speak
about
serous
capital
city
governance,
we
need
unity
at
council.
L
If
we
can
get
unity
on
this
vote,
then
when
we
speak
to
our
provincial
counterparts
and
federal
counterparts,
we
can
have
a
serious
conversation
about
tools.
We
need
of
governance
in
the
capital
city
so
because
it's
been
amended,
mr
mayor
I'll,
read
the
motion
and
then
I'm
certainly
open
for
any
for
additional
context
of,
if
steve
or
or
other
council
members
want
to
to
to
add,
as
they've
helped
me
draft
and
to
get
to
today's
amended
motion
which
reads.
L
And
whereas,
over
these
many
weeks,
the
scope
and
complexity
of
the
occupation
required
more
workforce,
more
workforce
and
more
legislative
tools
than
just
the
ottawa
police
services
and
the
city
of
ottawa
could
provide.
And
whereas
the
requirement
to
deal
with
the
illegal
occupation
resulted
in
the
ottawa
police
needing
to
pull
officers
from
neighborhoods
leaving
local
communities
vulnerable,
whereas
ottawa's
first
response
and
responsibilities
should
be
to
the
ottawa
residents
and
businesses
to
properly
serve
and
protect
them.
L
Consistent
with
all
local
government
and
local
police
forces,
whereas
the
ultimate
dismantling
of
the
occupation
required
integrated,
policing
efforts
for
multiple
policing
jurisdictions,
as
well
as
additional
legislative
tools
from
the
federal
and
provincial
governments.
And
whereas
the
occupation
also
highlighted
the
risk
inherent
in
the
current
addock
approach
to
dealing
with
the
unique
multi-jurisdictional
challenges
of
emergency
operations
through
ottawa,
but
most
particularly
in
the
parliamentary
precinct,
the
downtown
core
and
the
inter-provincial
crossings.
L
And
whereas
the
occupation
highlighted
the
need
to
have
a
better
and
common
understanding
of
the
dual
nature
of
ottawa
and
the
risk
that
come
with
being
a
capital
and
the
risk
of
pressures
that
go
well
beyond
the
city's
responsibility
and
ability
to
respond.
Whereas
such
pressures
include
monitoring
and
responding
to
the
federal
precinct
and
the
most
recent
proposal
proposal
to
look
at
the
feasibility
of
permanent
closures
of
wellington
street.
L
Whereas
the
local
property
tax
base
residents
and
businesses
should
not
be
expected
to
be
accountable
to
the
cost
of
activities
that
go
beyond
our
responsibilities
as
a
local
government.
And
whereas
it's
become
became
clear.
That
the
establishment
of
a
formalized
structure
which
integrates
and
clarifies
the
roles
and
responsibilities
of
the
various
jurisdictional
bodies
that
govern
ottawa
and
the
national
capital
region
will
ensure
a
timelier
coordinated
response
to
emergent
threats
and
crises.
L
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
council
requests
that
the
federal
government
strike
a
working
group
of
both
administrative
and
elected
officials.
From
all
four
all.
I
think
I
believe
it
should
say
all
three
levels,
but
I
think
the
fourth
level
is
the
city
of
gatineau
just
to
clarify
senior
staff
agencies,
including
pspc,
the
national
capital,
commission,
indigenous
leaders
and
representatives
from
the
city
of
gatineau
to
propose
a
plan
to
modernize,
clarify
and
strengthen
the
integration
of
ottawa's
capital,
jurisdictional
responsibilities
and
security
needs
to
a
remove
the
financial
burden
of
the
capital.
L
Events
from
residents
and
businesses
in
ottawa
b.
Renew
and
redefine
the
capital's
responsibility
and
clarify
further
authorities
and
any
related
legislative
changes
and
see
strengthen
the
security
of
the
national
capital
through
timely,
coordinated
responses
for
future
or
emerging
emergent,
emergent
threats
and
crisis.
L
Be
it
further
resolve
that
the
working
group
report
back
to
city
council
and
all
members
of
the
provincial
and
federal
parliament
parliaments
with
the
working
groups
finding
by
july
2022?
And
if
you
might,
mr
mayor,
I
did
catch
an
minor
mistake
there.
It
should
say
three
levels
of
government
and
that
therefore
be
resolved.
If
that
could
be
quickly
amended.
I
would
appreciate
that.
P
Thank
you,
your
worship,
I'm
pleased
to
support
and
second,
this
motion
calling
for
the
creation
of
a
jurisdictional
working
group,
because
in
times
of
crisis,
all
governments
must
work
together,
efficiently
and
effectively
in
order
to
ensure
adequate
emergency
response.
Whether
during
a
natural
disaster
or
a
crisis
precipitated
by
mass
civil
disobedience,
effective
intergovernmental
relations
is
key.
P
Coordination
of
government
response
is
a
core
purpose
for
emergency
management
and,
as
a
result,
I
agree
with
councillor
fleury's
initiative
to
propose
a
plan
to
modernize
emergency
response
in
our
city.
It
is
also
important
that
we
remove
the
financial
burden
of
national
events
from
residents
and
businesses
in
ottawa.
Currently,
the
formula
is
determining
compensation
for
policing
national
events,
for
example,
are
completely
inadequate
and
require
reassessment.
P
A
A
therefore
be
it
resolved
that
the
cfo
be
directed
to
implement
a
2022
property
tax,
hardship,
deferral
program
for
city
of
ottawa,
commercial
and
retail
owners
in
accordance
with
the
eligibility
criteria
identified
in
schedule
a
and
schedule
b
as
soon
as
possible.
Following
the
adoption
of
this
motion
and
being
further
resolved,
the
cfo
provide
eligible
businesses
and
with
information
on
their
tax
deferral
options
as
soon
as
possible.
A
Following
the
adaptation
of
this
motion,
be
it
further
resolve
that
landlords
be
required
to
pass
the
property
tax
deferral
onto
their
commercial
retail
tenants
and
finally,
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
associate
associated
costs
of
any
tax
referral
under
the
program
be
funded
from
the
tax
stabilization
reserve
and
that
the
city
seek
to
recover
the
cost
from
other
levels
of
government
and
the
request
for
compensation
for
the
occupation.
I
want
to
thank
those
three
colleagues
who
we
work
with
on
small
business
items.
A
Counselors
do
to
ask
el
shanterian
harder
for
their
help
on
this
and
counselor
kids
for
seconding
the
motion.
This
is,
as
I
think,
councilor
menard
pointed
out
a
little
while
ago.
We
have
very
few
tools
in
our
toolkit
to
help
businesses
in
a
direct
fashion.
This
is
one
of
the
ways
we
can
do
it
by
deferring
the
property
taxes
for
those
small
businesses
in
the
area
affected
and
really
many
many
instances
devastated
by
the
complete
shutdown
of
the
downtown
core
and
byward
market
and
rito
street.
A
So
attached
is
a
list
of
the
criteria,
as
well
as
the
map
of
the
area
under
under
consideration
by
you.
As
members
of
council
and
I'd
encourage
members
to
support
this
initiative,
it's
a
small
gesture,
but
it
will
allow
these
small
businesses
to
deal
with
a
number
of
cash
flow
problems
that
they're
experiencing
now
post
the
occupation.
A
K
D
D
What
we've
done
in
terms
of
putting
this
motion
and
this
program
in
front
of
you
today,
is
extensive
consultation
with
the
ottawa
board
of
trade
acobia
our
partners
in
economic
development
who
have
actually
taken
the
information,
the
draft
motion
and
shared
it
with
all
of
the
partners
and
businesses
downtown,
so
they're
well
aware
of
what's
happening,
and
so
that
will
give
a
communication
stream
to
those
tenants
up
to
their
landlords
and
owners
to
say
hey.
You
need
to
apply
for
this
to
help
us.
K
A
A
The
next
motion
requiring
suspension
of
the
rules
of
procedure
by
councilor
dudas
secretary
councillor,
el
shantiri,
with
respect
to
national
capital,
police
national
capital
region.
Police
jurisdictions
has
some
overlap
with
the
flurry
motion
that
we
just
saw
so
councillor
dude.
Ask
if
you'd
like
to
introduce
this
and
seconded
by
councillor
al-shantiri.
M
You,
as
you
noted
there
is
some
overlap,
certainly
with
counselor
flurries
motion
that
we
just
passed.
However,
I
think
that
we've
all
been
trying
to
find
a
way
to
address
the
issues
with
jurisdiction
that
we
saw
arose
during
the
recent
occupation
of
our
city.
This
motion
specifically
speaks
to
police
jurisdiction
and
the
difficulties
we
saw
between
communications
of
the
multi-levels
of
policing
in
our
city,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
the
federal
government
needs
to
fully
step
up
and
recognize
that
we
are
a
nation's
capital
and
these
types
of
demonstrations.
M
These
types
of
engagements
with
you
know,
legal
and
non-legal
protests
need
to
be
taken
in
a
very
serious
manner
in
a
democratic
manner,
but
certainly
it
cannot
all
be
on
the
burden
of
the
city
of
ottawa
from
a
resourcing
level
from
a
financial
level
and
also
on
the
burden
of
our
downtown
residents,
who
really
shouldered
this.
So
I
want
to
thank
counselor
al
shantiri.
M
He
and
I
had
both
been
working
on
independent
motions
that,
when
we
determined
that
they
were
both
complementary
to
each
other,
that
we
decided
to
collaborate
together
on
this,
I
will
read
it.
It
is
in
parts
a
little
bit
complementary
and
redundant
to
what
counselor
fleury
had
mentioned,
but
I
think
it's
important
that
we
recognize
that
this
needs
to
be
re-looked
at
and
it's
the
obligation
of
the
province
and
the
federal
government
to
take
over
this
responsibility
at
looking
at
policing
jurisdiction.
M
Therefore,
it
be
resolved
that
the
city
of
ottawa
petitioned
the
government
of
canada
to
initiate
formal
discussions
with
the
provinces
of
ontario
and
quebec
and
the
cities
of
ottawa
and
gatineau
to
put
in
place
a
new
policing
and
security
model
for
the
national
capital.
That
acknowledges
the
unique
status
of
the
city
of
ottawa
as
the
seat
of
the
government
of
canada
and
serves
to
ensure
the
safety
and
security
of
residents
and
of
the
critical
infrastructure
of
our
municipality.
A
P
Thank
you,
your
worship,
I'm
bringing
forward
this
motion
to
recognize
national
youth
week.
I'm
doing
that
in
conjunction
with
multiple
youth
organizations
in
ottawa,
including
youth
ottawa,
in
doing
so,
and
recognizing
national
youth
week
we'll
be
joining
many
other
municipalities
and
recognizing
the
contributions
and
the
potential
of
our
youth
in
our
communities.
P
I've
asked
for
the
rules
of
procedure
to
be
waived
so
that
we
can
confirm
our
support
well
ahead
of
may
1st,
allowing
time
for
any
interested
organization
or
community
group
to
plan
events
or
communications
around
this
time
and
I'll
read
the
motion
into
the
record.
Whereas
recreation
benefits,
individuals,
families,
neighborhoods
and
communities
and
the
city
of
ottawa
provides
high
quality
programs
and
leisure
opportunities
for
residents
to
lead
healthy,
active
lives
through
recreation
and
to
make
our
community
a
great
place
to
live,
work
and
play.
P
And
whereas
there
is
an
increasing
interest
in
intentional
youth
development
through
recreation
in
canada.
That
is
founded
on
a
substantial
and
growing
body
of
research.
To
support
the
role
of
recreation
in
the
positive
development
of
youth.
And
whereas
canadian
youth
are
often
unrecognized
for
the
valuable
contributions
they
make
to
communities
in
canada's
social,
economic
and
civic
landscape.
And
whereas
it
is
vital
to
uplift
youth
voices,
particularly
during
times
of
crisis,
as
they
are
the
generation
most
deeply
impacted
by
the
civic,
social
and
environmental
outcomes
of
our
decisions.
P
And
whereas
meaningful
youth
engagement
through
recreation
emphasizes
access,
equity
and
social
justice
and
leads
to
positive
youth
development.
And
whereas
national
youth
week
reminds
us
all
of
the
valuable
contributions
that
recreation
and
park
can
make
to
youth
development
and
that
youth
can
make
to
community
development.
P
A
child-friendly
city
in
canada,
therefore
be
it
resolved
that
in
recognition
of
its
benefits
and
values,
and
to
provide
a
focal
point
within
the
year
for
increasing
awareness
concerning
youth
development,
the
city
of
ottawa
hereby
proclaims
may
1st
through
7th
2022
as
national
youth
week.
Thank
you,
colleagues
for
your
consideration.
P
A
A
L
L
As
you
know,
many
students
have
access
to
the
u-pass,
so
this
should
have
come
to
the
the
council
that
was
cancelled
all
earlier
in
march
and
is
required
for
a
vote
today,
because
universities
are
going
into
exams
and
for
this
to
actually
have
any
purpose.
It
needs
to
be
executable
or
presentable
before
april
16th.
L
Whereas
the
motion
adopted
by
council
on
february
16th
made
those
detour
routes
no
charge
for
30
days
after
the
state
of
emergency
was
lifted,
whereas
the
motion
adopted
by
council
on
february
23rd
extended
to
no
charge
service
to
the
o
train,
whereas
the
university
of
ottawa,
carlton
university
and
university
students
rely
on
those
routes
every
day,
but
as
the
u-pass
holders
do
not
benefit
from
the
no
charge
routes,
whereas
at
all
routes
near
the
main
campus
and
lee's
avenue.
Campus
of
the
university
of
ottawa
and
the
university
post
are
currently
no
charge,
therefore
be
resolved.
L
Therefore,
be
it
for
be.
It
further
resolved
that
the
estimated
cost
of
up
to
730
000
be
offended
from
the
transit
operating
reserve
and
the
city
seek
to
recover
the
foreground,
revenue
from
other
levels
of
government
in
the
request
for
compensation
for
the
occupation
and
be
it
further
resolve
that
staff
consult
with
the
university
of
ottawa,
carleton
university
and
university
stanford
regarding
the
implementation
of
this
program
so
remember
before
I
turn
it
over.
I
just
want
to
add
two
contexts.
This
is
simply
a
matter
of
fairness.
L
Colleagues,
we've
waived
fees
for
residents
who
did
not
have
to
buy
a
pass
or
renew
their
pass
or
add
to
the
purse.
It's
not
the
same
ability
for
the
u-pass,
which
was
paid
at
the
beginning
of
the
the
the
term
and,
as
you
know,
we
are
approaching
the
end
of
the
term,
and
many
students
will
continue
to
to
stay
in
ottawa
and
and
work
over
the
summer.
This
is
not
a
perfect
solution.
I
want
to
be
clear
about
this.
L
I
Thanks
very
much
mayor
I'll,
just
just
reiterate
the
importance
of
this
in
terms
of
fairness,
the
students
that
would
normally
be
taking
these
routes
that
we
made
free
in
the
core
as
a
result
of
the
occupation
had
paid
for
them.
In
fact,
they'd
be
the
only
people
is
students
paying
for
transit
that
take
these
routes
in
the
core,
the
buses,
six
and
seven
in
particular,
that
affect
carlton
and,
of
course,
many
of
the
others,
new
st
paul
and
university
of
ottawa.

Notwithstanding
the
provisions
included
in
the
commemorative
naming
policy
and
whereas
former
stittsville
resident
constantine
luty
was
a
long
historical
significance
to
the
community
and
in
canadian
history
and
whereas
in
the
1940s
constantine
set
out
to
become
a
fur
trader
where
he
ran
a
trading
post
in
the
northern
part
of
the
hudson
bay
and
whereas
this
led
him
to
working
and
living
closely
with
the
local
inuit
grading
furs
and
supplying
food.
A
long-standing
tradition
in
canadian
history
and
whereas
later
in
life
constantine,
would
travel
within
canada
gathering
stories
and
photos
contributing
to
the
book.

Poplar

that
is
included
within
the
national
archives
of

therefore
be
it
resolved
that
paysiana
park
located
at
852
paisiana
place,
be
named
the
constantine
looty
park
and
be
it
resolved
that
an
appropriate
stand
and
plaque
be
installed.

L
L
Connectivity
east
of
the
bridge
proposed
extremely
wide
lane
widths
through
the
construction
area.
That
would
encourage
speeding,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
all
work
on
this
project
be
deferred
until
staff
submit
a
report
to
the
next
transportation
committee
and
subsequent
council
meeting
on
how
the
design
deficiency
deficiencies
identified
above
will
be
addressed.
I
I
And
we
need
to
make
sure
that
our
intersections
are
safe
and
that
they're
adhered
to
in
all
cases.
We've
also
approved
here
today,
an
ea
that
could
lead
to
a
328
million
expenditure
of
new
roads
and
other
transit
facilities.
But
meanwhile,
while
we've
done
those
things,
we've
got
unsafe
intersections
that
already
exist
in
our
city,
we
have
74
that
were
identified,
30
locations
were
screened
in
for
further
review
and
then
29
intersections
had
designs
already
being
produced
by
city
staff.
I
I
We
need
to
be
able
to
do
these
things
given
what's
occurred
in
our
city,
so
I'll
just
read
that,
therefore,
be
it
resolve
that
staff
investigate
funding
options
to
advance
the
implementation
of
the
29
priority
intersections
and
that
staff
report
back
with
an
update
during
the
2023
budget,
that'll
be
for
consideration
next
council
meeting.
Thank
you
mayor.
