Description
Ottawa City Council meeting of Wednesday, October 28, 2020
Agenda and background materials can be found at http://www.ottawa.ca/agendas.
A
Well,
thank
you
that
that
list
of
challenges
is
one
that
I
think
could
be
read
in
any
small,
medium
or
large
size,
jurisdiction
from
british
columbia
all
the
way
out
to
newfoundland.
But
it's
certainly
present
here
in
the
nation's
capital
and
means
that
we
in
the
ottawa
police
service
myself
as
the
office
holder
of
chief
of
police.
A
I
have
to
recognize
that
as
one
of
our
top,
if
not
the
top
issue,
in
fact
I
I
will
very
comfortably
say
here
and
now,
as
I
have
in
the
past,
public
trust,
I
believe,
is
the
mission
of
policing,
more
so
than
public
safety.
Without
the
trust
and
confidence
of
the
public.
They
won't
call
us,
they
won't
participate
as
witnesses.
They
will
not
come
to
court.
A
They
will
not
police
their
own
neighborhoods
in
terms
of
informal
community
engagement
around
advancing
community
safety
and
well-being.
Ultimately,
they
won't
seek
to
join
this
police
service.
So
if
you
don't
have
the
trust
and
confidence
of
all
ottawans,
and
particularly
those
who
are
often
most
marginalized,
victimized
and
usually
racialized
in
terms
of
indigenous
and
black
brown
and
other
asian
communities,
then
we're
going
to
struggle.
A
That
said,
I
have
had
in
my
365
days
in
office
a
huge
amount,
even
in
these
most
difficult
and
recent
days,
a
huge
amount
of
inreach
from
community
leaders
from
across
the
spectrum,
all
geographies
and
all
demographics
saying
we
want
better
policing,
but
we
want
the
ottawa
police
service
to
succeed.
We
want
better
from
you,
chief
and
you're
doing
well,
but
we
want
you
to
succeed
and
we're
going
to
work
with
you
and
that's
the
most
important
thing
for
me
in
the
equation.
A
A
No
none
of
the
above.
What
we,
what
we
have
is
committed
resources
and
a
committed
set
of
priorities.
The
board
that
hired
me
had
already
established
its
priorities
of
modernizing
the
police
service,
advancing
equity
diversity
and
inclusion,
advancing
community
policing
and
improving
the
health
and
wellness
of
our
members.
I
believe
those
priorities
are
the
right
priorities
for
today
and
for
tomorrow
they
were
gleaned
from
canvassing,
the
community
at
large
and
our
membership
at
large,
and
I
think
they're
as
relevant
on
day
one
as
they
are
on
day
366.
A
For
me,
the
plan
is
to
resource
those
areas,
and
that
means
putting
people
money
time
and
focus
to
advance
those
areas.
So,
for
instance,
coming
out
of
the
events
of
the
last
several
weeks,
we
have
committed
ourselves
to
significant
investment
in
addressing
how
we
provide
mental
health
services,
not
just
as
a
police
service,
but
more
broadly,
across
civil
society.
For
instance,
we
have
put
more
people
and
money
into
improving
our
members,
health
and
wellness.
A
We
have
doubled
the
number
of
neighborhood
resource
teams
and
expanded
that,
from
and
in
the
next
year,
we'll
expand
that
from
the
urban
downtown
into
the
suburban
and
rural
areas
of
the
city.
So
if
it's
a
priority,
we
need
to
resource
it
as
such,
and
I
think
the
priorities
that
were
articulated
by
the
board
are
the
ones
that
address
the
core
issues
of
public
trust
and
confidence
and
effective,
progressive,
equitable
policing.
Okay,.
B
B
A
I
think
it's
an
excellent
proposal,
if
you
read
through
the
entire
document,
you'll
see
that
it
references
where
we
should
spend
most
of
our
time
and
efforts
as
civil
society,
which
is
actually
preventing
people
from
going
into
crisis.
In
the
first
place,
the
less
people
that
are
in
crisis,
the
less
need
to
call
police
fire
ambulance
to
to
take
up
scarce
hospital
resources
and
hospital
beds,
long-term
incarceration
within
the
hospital,
the
the
health
care
system,
all
those
things
we're
trying
to
avoid.
A
So
I'm
very
much
in
favor
of
that.
What
I'm
not
in
favor
of
is
any
concept
of
defunding
the
police
and
taking
that
money
away
at
some
arbitrary
number
and
handing
it
over
to
some
other
group
of
people
who
are
not
currently
in
place
to
provide
a
24,
7
365
capability
for
the
largest
municipality
in
canada.
Okay,.
B
This
is
something
I've
wanted
to
ask
you
for
quite
some
time
and
I'm
asking
it
because
I
think
this
is
something
a
lot
of
people
are
they're
talking
about.
I've
had
conversations
with
listeners
about
it
on
the
air.
I've
had
conversations
in
my
own
social
circle.
If
I'm
having
these
conversations,
I
know
other
people
are.
C
A
No,
it's
not
an
important
conversation.
It's
certainly
one
that
police
leaders
and
and
frontline
officers
have
across
the
board.
Let
me
put
in
the
context
whether
it's
the
police,
it's
the
military.
It's
the
firefight,
firefighters,
paramedics,
law
firms,
big
consulting
firms,
there's
a
certain
type
of
person
that
gets
drawn
to
a
certain
type
of
activity.
They
can
be
male
or
female,
it
doesn't
really
matter.
But
if
it's
high
action
high
pressure
high
power
types
positions,
it
doesn't,
it
doesn't
exist
just
in
policing.
A
These
are
priorities
for
the
health
and
wellness
of
our
police
service,
our
members
and
for
their
ability
to
go
out
and
keep
the
community
safe.
The
reality
is
even
with
all
the
angst
and
anger
around
policing,
locally
and
internationally.
The
ottawa
police
service
is
still
an
employee
of
choice.
We
have
record
numbers
record
numbers
of
applicants
in
the
year
2020,
who
want
to
join
the
ottawa
police
service,
who
want
to
become
police
members.
We
have
record
numbers
of
people
wanting
to
join
us
at
the
executive
ranks.
A
So,
despite
all
of
what
we're
hearing
around
the
kitchen
tables
and
the
journalistic
tables,
people
still
see
policing
as
a
invaluable
profession
as
a
valuable
source
of
employment
and
a
place
where
they
want
to
spend
the
majority
of
their
working
life.
The
diversity
of
our
applicants
has
gone
up
significantly:
we've
hired
to
date,
79
officers
over
35
percent
are
female.
Over
35
percent
are
from
racialized
communities.
A
Well
I'll
tell
you
the
11
people
that
we
just
approved
the
command
and
I
just
approved
to
hire
every
single
one
of
them
came
in
with
some
sort
of
post-secondary
education
from
college
all
the
way
through
masters,
the
average
age
is
in
the
range
of
28
to
30..
We
had
some
north
of
that
and
we
had
some
south
of
that,
but
the
average
age
tends
to
be
in
that
range.
A
They
have
previous
life
experience,
which
includes
a
work
experience
every
one
of
them,
every
single
one
of
them
of
the
79
that
I've
hired
in
my
time-
and
I
suspect,
before
that,
had
extensive
volunteer
experience.
Their
voluntary
and
educational
experience
range
from
sociology
criminology
social
services.
They
have
volunteered
at
boys
and
girls
club
the
salvation
army,
the
shelters
down
in
the
market
area.
Every
single
one
of
them
are
required
to
demonstrate
a
track
record
of
continuous
improvement,
continuous
education
and
volunteerism,
and
yes,
some
significant
and
relevant
work
experience
for
life
experience.

There.
Congratulations
item
number
four
ottawa
paramedic
service.
I
know
counselor
suds
would
like
to
offer
comments
we'll
come
back
to
that
item
number
five
letter
to
request
restricting
residential
rental
evictions
during
pandemic.
There's
replacement
motion
so
we'll
come
back
to
that
as
well.
F
B
F
F
C
H
H
So
at
committee
we
heard
from
gm
de
monte,
as
well
as
chief
poirier
talk
about
the
impacts
of
offload
delay
to
our
residents
and
to
the
city
for
families.
This
can
mean
and
has
meant
that
a
child
with
a
broken
leg,
for
example,
could
be
waiting
for
up
to
an
hour
for
a
paramedic
to
respond
for
our
city.
It
is
meant
a
loss
of
64
ftes
at
an
annual
cost
of
7.7
million
last
year
and
for
our
paramedics
it
means
spending
over
53
000
hours
in
offload
delay
instead
of
out
in
the
community.
H
So
I'm
happy.
This
has
been
an
all
hands
on
deck
approach.
To
try
to
make
progress
on
this
issue
the
province,
including
premier,
ford
and
minister
elliott,
excuse
me-
have
been
very
receptive
on
the
need
to
tackle
the
issue.
As
some
of
you
may
recall,
the
mayor
and
I
sent
a
letter
to
the
province
back
in
september,
outlining
our
serious
concerns
with
offload
delays,
and
I
know
the
mayor
also
raised
the
issue
directly
again
with
the
premier
when
they
spoke
in
september
on
two
separate
occasions
at
their
meetings.
H
H
So
this
is
being
put
forward
as
a
trial
program
that
will
be
put
in
place
to
reduce
offload
delays
and
the
hospitals
are
committed
to
having
this
implemented
in
december
of
this
year.
Also,
if
the
program
is
successful,
they
do
look
to
expand
it
to
other
hospitals
in
our
city,
which
of
course,
we
know,
is
needed.
H
H
This
problem,
I
know,
has
gone
on
for
many
years
and
I'm
sure
it
won't
be
solved
overnight,
but
I
believe
this
is
a
positive
step.
I'll
continue
to
follow
this
and
work
on
this
issue,
with
both
gm
demonte
and
chief
corriere
to
assess
what
we
hope
will
be
the
positive
impact
of
this
pilot
on
offload
delays.
F
Great,
thank
you
very
much
councillor
suds.
I
know
you've
been
working
on
this
for
some
time
and
I
appreciate
all
of
your
efforts
and
that
of
all
members
of
council,
because
this
is
a
serious
issue
both
from
a
response
time
and
the
public's
well-being
and
you're
correct.
We've
raised
this
a
number
of
times
the
premier,
and
I
know
that
there's
going
to
be
an
announcement
on
friday.
F
E
G
G
I
think
it's
a
very
good
solution
to
this
issue,
we'll
see
what
the
results
are.
If
they're
positive
like
we
expect,
we
will
ask
this
to
be
expanded
to
other
hospitals
to
the
general
and
the
mulfa
hospital,
because
there's
more
problems
at
the
general
than
at
the
civic,
but
I
think
it's
a
good
beginning,
we'll
start
with
this
pilot
project
and
we'll
see
what
we'll
get
for
the
future.
G
G
G
G
F
This
is
probably
the
not
the
first
step,
but
the
second
significant
step,
because
many
years
ago,
as
you
know,
the
province
agreed
to
our
request
to
have
offload
nurses
available.
Obviously
there
were
too
few
and
it
did
not
solve
the
problem
because
we
just
had
too
many
code
zeros,
and
so
this
is
the
next
significant
step
and
as
councillor
suds
and
coaster
fleury
have
both
said.
We
appreciate
the
province
intervening
because
this
was
really
a
matter
of
life
and
death.
F
When
someone
calls
9-1-1,
you
expect
a
reasonable
time
frame
for
someone
to
come
with
a
paramedic
unit
to
help
yourself
or
a
loved
one,
and
this
was
becoming
increasingly
more
difficult
with
a
growing
population
and
an
aging
population.
So
I
think
the
initiative
by
the
province
and
the
work
of
the
hospital
is
a
good
good
step
forward.
But,
of
course,
we'll
monitor
the
results,
and
then
we
have
to
expand
it.
F
Obviously,
there's
more
than
one
hospital
in
the
city
to
ensure
all
regions
of
the
city
are
treated
equitably,
so
appreciate
the
comments
and
counselor
suds.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
this
on
the
report
received,
see
you
and
I
think,
councilor
deans.
You
were
dealing
with
this
back
at
cps
many
years
ago,
so
we're
building
on
what
you
started
a
while
ago.
This
has
been
a
long
journey
and-
and
I
appreciate
everyone's
support,
it's
so
important
that
we
get
this
right.
F
C
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
to
councillor
mckinney
for
your
for
your
work
on
this
and
your
motion.
Aids.
You
know
this
wouldn't
necessarily
be
a
replacement
motion
where
not
for
procedural
matters
that
require
it
to
be
a
replacement
motion.
It's
generally
a
friendly
amendment
from
previous
discussions
with
counselor
mckenny.
So
just
I'll
just
read
it
be
resolved.
C
Recovery
benefit,
canada,
recovery,
sickness
benefit
or
the
candidate
recovery.
Caregiving
benefit
due
to
covenant,
19
related
job
loss
and
c
failing
the
adoption
of
the
measures
stated
in
a
and
b
that
the
provincial
government
restricts
residential
rental
evictions
due
to
tenants
inability
to
pay
their
rent
due
to
cover
19
related
income
losses
and
maintain
that
moratorium
on
such
addictions
until
the
copen
19
pandemic
is
effectively
contained.
Essentially,
this
merely
clarifies
a
bit
more
and
makes
sure
that
the
focus
is
where
it
where
it
belongs.
F
B
My
questions
are
actually
really
quite
simple.
I
think
signing
on
to
the
climate
emergency
was
a
was
a
very
good
step
for
this
council
and,
while
I
I
do
support
many
of
the
projects
that
we
are
moving
to
fund
as
a
result
of
this
motion,
I'm
just
wondering
57.4
billion
dollars
is
it's
that's
an
awful
lot
of
money,
like
that's
almost
the
equivalent
of
14
city
budgets,
so
my
question
simply
is
like
how
realistic
is
it?
B
H
H
B
H
G
G
Phases,
it's
important
that
we
use
the
federal
and
provincial
programs
for
the
community,
but
can
you
be
more
specific,
for
instance,
the
example
of
the
building
national
building
code?
I
don't
know
if
mr
willis
is
available,
but
he
had
talked
to
me
about
this
in
the
past
that
some
basic
policies
such
as
this
one
that
could
have
a
global
influence
on
our
plan.
G
Okay.
My
second
question
mr
mayor,
is
mr
manconi.
When
we
look
at
the
plan
we're
saying
that
a
bus
can
last
14
or
15
years,
that's
what
mr
mancone
said
in
the
past.
That
would
mean
that
in
the
plan
the
last
year
that
we
will
buy
a
new
bus,
non-electric
bus
would
be
non-fuel
and
that
would
be
in
2025.
G
D
There's
an
opportunity
with
the
canada
infrastructure
bank,
but
without
money
we
can't
move
to
to
an
aggressive
change
out
of
our
diesel
buses.
We
have
a
pilot,
that's
rolling
out
that
I've.
Given
you,
the
update
on
we've,
been
clear
with
the
folks
from
the
canada
infrastructure
bank.
The
federal
government
has
to
come
back
with
three
conditions
that
the
the
city
manager
and
I
and
the
treasurer
articulated
to
the
man
price
from
from
hydro
ottawa.
D
They
have
to
get
rid
of
the
stacking
rules,
otherwise
the
funding
model
won't
work.
They
have
to
give
us
the
delta
on
operations
and
maintenance
and
they
have
to
commit
to
a
long
term,
irrespective
of
what
government
is
in
power
a
deal
and
arrangement.
Otherwise
you
can
get
yourself
caught
in
the
situation.
You
did
with
the
hybrid
where
the
operations
and
maintenance
was
killing
you
on
that
technology.
D
D
It's
the
transition
cost
on
operations
and
maintenance,
everything
from
training
to
equipment
fit
up
no
different
than
when
you
acquire
the
double
deck
or
buses,
and
it's
a
commitment
that
secures
future
councils
that
the
funding
is
there
and
the
payback
on
the
savings
get
reinvested
back
to
the
infrastructure
bank
for
their
loan.
So
the
treasurer
the
city
manager
myself
and
the
ceo
hydra
ottawa
met
with
them.
We
like
what
we
saw.
We
were
very
clear.
Those
are
the
three
conditions
that
I
changed
with
the
transit
commission.
I
know
many
counselors
counselor
menard
councillor.
D
Mckinney
are
all
asking
me
when,
when
you
need
the
money
with
the
money,
if
you
want
to
achieve
any
of
those
targets
and
it
needs
to
move
quickly,
we
do
have
a
fulsome
report
coming
to
you
at
the
end
of
next
year,
with
the
treasurer
in
terms
of
what
that
funding
gap
would
look
like,
and
the
layer
of
complexity
is
now
covered
and
what's
happening
in
terms
of
ridership
and
the
delta
on
that.
So
budget
needs
to
come
together.
D
E
E
E
All
of
our
new
builds
are
passive
house
standards
and
and
obviously
we're
continuing
conversations
with
hydro
ottawa
in
terms
of
various
retrofit
programs
and
district
energy
solutions.
So
we're
I
want
to
see
all
the
partners
at
the
city,
including
och
and
others,
taking
taking
this
effort
collectively.
I
also
want
to
find
finally
on
this
point
is
every
day
the
city
invests
in
infrastructure
or
on
procurement.
E
We
make
decisions
and
there's
an
opportunity
now
that
this
plan
will
be
approved
to
to
ship
some
of
the
way
we
do
business
and
some
of
the
way
not
invest
less,
invest
more
but
invest
in
ways
that
makes
our
city
more
resilient
and
are
in
line
with
the
plan.
So
I
applaud
the
effort.
It's
it's.
A
journey
that
that's
beginning
and
and
and
and
council
will
need
to
stay
hyper
focused
in
the
same
way.
D
Yes,
thanks
very
much,
mr
mayor-
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
this:
this
is
a
good
plan.
It's
a
detailed
plan,
it's
supported
by
by
many
community
allies
and
industry,
including
ecology,
ottawa
cafes,
enviro,
center
orec,
the
auto
community
foundation,
windmill
developments,
ottawa,
green
building
council,
auto
biogas,
enbridge
goba,
invari,
portage
power
and
hydro.
One-
and
it's
been,
you
know
a
real
pleasure
to
work
with
chair
moffitt
on
this
and
and
the
whole
committee
to
get
this
done.
D
I
think
it
was
important
to
see
council
come
together
and
pass
the
climate
emergency
motion
in
the
spring
of
2019..
It's
a
huge
level
or
it
affects
us
all
and
as
the
recent
climate
projections
for
the
ncr
show,
these
effects
are
going
to
be
more
extreme
in
the
future
and
together
we're.
You
know,
committing
to
ambitious
climate
targets
right
now:
net
zero
emissions
for
the
corporation
by
2040
and
for
the
community
by
2050,
and
that
plan
really
lays
out
how
we
can
get
there.
D
There
are
items
to
counselor
meehan's
question
with
enter
within
our
energy
evolution
that
will
begin
to
save
us
money
almost
immediately
and
there
are
returns
on
investment
here
and
so,
as
you
start
to
achieve
those
savings,
one
model
that
other
cities
have
implemented.
Is
you
roll
those
savings
back
into
other
emission
reducing
activities,
but
also
have
a
return
on
investment?
D
You
think
about
building
retrofits
and
a
five
seven
year
return
transportation
changes
where
you
save
on
your
operational
costs,
energy
generation
that
we
start
to
do
through
rollback
in
other
areas,
local
energy
generation.
So
there's
still
a
lot
of
work
to
do,
and
we
need
to
consider
some
of
the
creative
ways
of
of
financing
this
type
of
investment.
But
it
is
an
investment.
D
It
does
show
savings
at
the
end
of
this
and
we
need
to
start
with
those
savings
as
soon
as
possible
to
integrate
that
climate
lens
throughout
our
our
transportation.
Our
land
use
decisions.
So
this
plan's
not
an
end.
It's
a
it's
a
strong
beginning
and
I
commend
staff
in
the
applied
department.
Who've
worked
so
hard
at
providing
us
with
a
robust
model
and
direction,
and
now
it's
really
our
time
to
take
this
forward
back
to
you,
mayor.
B
D
F
E
F
F
B
B
F
C
C
D
B
Okay,
so
the
other
thing
I'd
like
to
see
on
this
is
towards
quoting
to
support
this
today.
It
is
to
acknowledge
it
as
the
road
map
we
are
not
making
funding
commitments
today
that
individual
projects
that
will
require
tax
dollars
will
come
back
to
council
separately.
Is
that
correct?
Is
this
just
voting
to
say
that
this
is
a
reasonable
roadmap
towards
these
things,
that
this
is
what
we're
going
to
do.
F
H
H
B
H
B
H
H
H
So
it's
the
city
of
ottawa's,
piece
of
that
58
billion,
is
significantly
less
it's
actually
7
billion
in
net
present
value
over
the
30-year
plan,
so
the
funding
pieces
will
be
coming
through
future
master
plans
that
will
be
coming
to
canadian
council
as
those
plans
plans
come
clear
or
come
to
their
fruition
and
also
in
our
lrfp.
So
those
master
plans
will
be
aligning
with
our
long-range
financial
plans
so
that
we
can
achieve
our
goals
for
the
future.
F
C
B
F
I've,
given
you
an
extra
15
seconds,
we'll
have
to
go
on
to
the
next
speaker,
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
Councillor
brockington
and
I
think
council
hubley
councillor
moffat,
could
answer
one
of
your
original
questions
when
he's
on
next
so
councilman,
brockington
and
then
councilor
moffat.
Please
hey
counselor.
F
B
I
Over
the
course
of
30
years,
net
increases
to
projects
that
we
have
to
prioritize
to
put
into
our
our
budget.
So
I
think
our
taxpayers
need
to
have
a
better
understanding
that
yes,
city
of
ottawa,
will
not
be
on
the
hook
for
57
billion
dollars.
But
when
you
put
that
number
in
a
report,
people
are
concerned
about
how
we're
going
to
achieve
that
over
the
30
years.
So
I
just
wanted
to
underscore
that
point
that
there's
legitimate
concern
out
there.
I
I
understand
how
we're
going
to
do
that,
and
I
appreciate
the
city
manager's
intervention
now
that
staff
are
going
to
do
what
we
approve
and
we're
going
to
be
engaged
every
single
year
on
those
budgets.
So
this
is
a
energy
transition
strategy.
Four
plus
years
in
the
making
very
happy
to
be
here,
we
as
a
council
took
a
bold
step.
We
said
that
the
climb
there
is
a
climate
emergency
and
we
declare
that
as
such.
I
I
think
this
is
the
biggest
threat
that
threatens
future
generations
and
we
have
to
make
a
bold
stand
now
and
it's
not
just
financial
costs.
There
are
social
costs
and
geopolitical
costs
for
future
generations.
By
doing
nothing,
so
the
car
costs
far
outweigh
investments
over
the
next
30
years
that
we
don't
do
anything
I'm
comforted
by
the
fact
that
we
will
get
an
update
every
single
year
at
the
environment
committee
and
there'll,
be
a
refresh
of
the
methodology
every
five
years
to
make
sure
that
we're
on
track
and
will
be
actively
engaged
in
that
process.
I
I
think
once
this
has
passed
and
we've
got
some
time
to
let
the
dust
settle
through
the
leadership
of
the
chair
of
this
committee.
I
do
believe
this.
There
needs
to
be
a
road
show
where
a
delegation
of
of
the
city
of
ottawa
meets
with
local
mpps
mps,
amo,
fcm
reps
and
really
take
ottawa's
plan
and
inform
our
partners
in
the
different
levels
of
government
where
we
are
and
where
we're
going
and
the
type
of
partnerships
we
need
to
create
in
the
coming
years.
I
For
this
to
be
successful,
because
if
we
can't
do
that,
then
we're
not
going
to
achieve
our
own
targets
here
in
ottawa,
so
I
know
the
chair
opened.
That
was
welcome
to
that
a
committee
and
maybe
scott
you
can
speak
to
that
in
a
second,
but
I
will
be
supporting
this
bold,
ambitious
plan
and
I
hope
all
of
council
does
today
as
well.
So
thank
you.
F
C
Thank
you
so
much
I'll
try
to
wrap
up
everything
into
my
into
my
comments
here,
because
there's
a
lot
of
comments
from
a
different,
a
lot
of
different
directions.
First,
obviously,
as
marilyn
general
just
said,
this
is
not
something
that
we
that
we
do
alone.
This
is
something
that
will
be
done
by
multiple
parties.
Now
I
said
it's
at
committee.
I
said
it
before.
C
I
don't
think
the
federal
government
should
come
up
with
a
plan
to
deal
with
climate
change.
I
think
they
should
just
fund
the
plan
that
we
created
and
other
municipalities
can
look
to
us.
I
know
vancouver
is
working
on
a
plan
right
now
to
bring
forward
a
very
similar
to
what
we've
we've
done
right
here.
We
are
one
of
the
first
in
canada
to
bring
forward
a
plan
like
this
that
particularly
details
what's
needed
over
the
next
30
years
to
get
to
the
goal
that
we
set.
C
Everyone
set
the
goal,
the
goal
setting
is
the
easy
part
actually
having
the
document
that
says
how
to
get.
There
is
the
part.
That's
that's
tougher
and
it's
it's
more
bold
for
councils
to
support
that
plan
than
just
just
setting
a
target.
Anyone
can
set
a
target.
We
do
it
all
the
time,
but
it's
it's
it's
across
the
board
as
to
how
we
get
there.
One
of
the
biggest
parts
is
transportation.
C
If
you
look
at
general
motors
alone,
they
have
a
plan
to
make
sure
every
vehicle
they
produce
is.
Electric
is
an
electric
vehicle
that
right
there
puts
us
toward
toward
our
goal.
It's
not
something!
We
do
it's
something
that's
happening
in
the
industry
on
its
own.
It's
a
private
sector
initiative,
but
it's
happening
and
it'll
help
us
get
to
our
goal
that
we've
set
forward
in
this
plan.
C
Just
in
terms
of
the
support
from
the
others
from
the
other
groups,
it's
all
available
on
the
shared
drive
under
the
committee
meeting
in
alphabetical
order,
the
canadian
renewable
energy
association,
the
canada,
green
building
council,
the
canadian
biogas
association,
enbridge
and
vari
envirocenter,
goba,

ottawa,
jail,
richards,
ncc,
oreck,
auto
importer,

auto
community
foundation,
portage

treasury
board
and
windmill
developments.
All
letters
all
available
all
right
there
for
the
agenda
at
committee
last
week.
C
Just
thank
councillor
menard.
You
know
he's
bang
on
when
he
said
when
he
mentioned
these.
These
letters
of
support
and
the
importance
of
those
so
appreciate
his
work
as
the
vice
chair,
his
advocacy
over
the
last
couple
years
and
of
course,
as
councilor
fleury
mentioned,
my
predecessor,
councillor
trinishenko,
getting
us
down
this
path.
I
know
councillor
newspap
and
counselor.
Brockington
were
also
on
a
sponsors
group
earlier
on,
with
myself
and
and
david
that
got
us
to
this
point
and
staff.
C
I
I
can't
I'm
not
we're
not
here
this
there's
no
report
without
the
staff
that
get
this
job
done.
You
heard
from
maryland
today
steve
willis,
of
course,
but
really
andrew
flowers,
jen
brown,
jen
brown
was
phenomenal
at
committee
and
during
the
enduring
the
technical
briefing
again,
there
is
no
report
without
the
efforts
of
our
team
and
andrea
and
jen's
team
that
brought
us
to
this
point.
So
I
really
want
to
thank
them.
Thank
everyone
involved
and
appreciate
support
members
of
council
showing
committee
and
again
today,
thanks.
I
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor.
I
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
to
thank
thank
you,
moffett
and
and
and
vice
chair
menard,
along
with
with
our
staff
at
the
committee
meeting
in,
in
addition
to
what
what
the
shares
set
out.
There
are
a
number
of
delegations
all
very
supportive
of
of
the
path
forward,
and
yes,
it's
going
to
be
expensive
and
yes,
it's
going
to
be
challenging,
but
you
know
we
have
to
be
part
of
that
puzzle.
I
Sometimes
it
takes
a
little
bit
of
money
to
generate
even
more
money,
through
federal
and
provincial
programs
to
get
to
get
things
going.
I'm
very
supportive
of
this
project.
I'm
very
supportive
of
I
know
how
hard
at
the
again
the
chair
and
the
vice
chair
have
worked
on
this
along
with
staff.
It's
a
complicated
plan.
It's
a
far-reaching
plan
over
the
next
30
years
for
the
city,
but
it's
it's
absolutely
a
necessary
plan.
I
We
don't
start
doing
something
now
we're
going
to
be
too
late
and
lots
of
moving
parts,
but
I
feel
quite
confident
with
chair
moffett,
leading
the
way
that
we're
going
to
make
real
progress
in
this
term
of
council
and
going
forward
in
responding
to
these
very
real
environmental
needs
in
our
city.
So
again,
thank
you
very
much
and
I
will
absolutely
be
supporting
this
project.
B
F
I'll
give
you
a
one-word
answer.
Yes,
absolutely
yes,
and
I
thank
you
for
raising
that
counselor,
I'm
just
going
to
offer
a
couple
of
comments
thanks
to
members
of
the
committee
for
their
hard
work
and
heavy
lifting
and
members
of
the
community
who
came
out
to
support
the
project.
It
is,
of
course,
a
very
ambitious
project
and
there's
nothing
wrong
with
aiming
high.
My
mother
used
to
say
aim
high,
there's
plenty
of
room.
F
This
is
spread
out
over
a
large
a
long
period
of
time,
30
years,
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
two
examples
and
council
hubley
brought
up
one
of
the
examples.
Lrt
electric
lrt
is
our
single
biggest
weapon
against
greenhouse
gases
in
our
city's
toolbox,
and
it's
once
we
get
to
phase
two
which
is
under
construction.
F
Now,
we'll
see
significant
drops
in
ghgs
and,
of
course,
phase
three
is
the
next
council
priority
for
transportation
or
transit
projects
that
will
serve
the
people
of
bar
haven
as
well
as
the
people
of
stittsville
and,
of
course,
canada,
all
fast-growing
parts
of
our
city?
Another
example
that
I
often
use
when
people
talk
about.
Well.
Why
are
you
spending
money
on
this?
How
much
is
it
going
to
cost?
F
Is
the
led
light
replacement
program
from
hydro,
a
partnership
with
the
city
of
ottawa,
hydro,
where
all
of
the
lights,
the
street
lights
in
the
communities
of
ottawa
have
been
or
in
the
process
of
being
replaced
with
led
lights,
which
not
only
saves
us
in
terms
of
energy
costs
and
greenhouse
gases,
but
also
saves
us
money.
I
think
the
payback
time
is
approximately
seven
years.
So
as
a
number
of
members
of
council
councillor
menard,
I
believe
in
councillor
moffett
and
egg
lion.
Brockington
all
raised
the
issue
that
you
know.
F
Sometimes,
when
you
spend
this
money,
there
is
a
very
positive
return
on
investment.
I
think
the
led
program
is
a
great
tangible
example
to
use
with
constituents
who
are
asking
about
energy
evolution.
This
is
a
great
example,
as
was
the
project
the
process
we
did
with
ottawa
community
housing.
In
terms
of
retrofitting,
we
got
federal
provincial
money
for
energy,
efficient
windows
and
doors
and
patios,
and
so
on
that
there
was
a
payback
to
the
greater
community
because
of
course,
energy
bills
would
go
down.
F
The
quality
of
life
of
those
people
living
in
och
communities
would
improve.
So
I
encourage
people
to
support
this.
This
is
not
giving
staff
a
blank
check
to
go
off
and
do
whatever
they
want
to
do.
Everything
has
to
be
checked
by
committee
and
by
council
and
and
through
various
budget
processes
over
the
next
30
years.
So
on
the
report
as
presented
carried.

F
F
H
Terrific
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
As
everyone
would
know
earlier,
in
the
summer,
we
enacted
the
temporary
mandatory
mask
bylaw,
which
required
the
wearing
of
masks
on
transit
property
and
in
enclosed
public
spaces,
and
that
operators
of
such
spaces,
post,
signage,
notifying
of
the
the
mask
requirements,
provide
hand
sanitizer
as
well.
H
The
bylaw
is
temporary
in
nature,
and
it
also
contains
a
sunset
clause,
meaning
that
council
is
required
to
renew
the
bylaws
if
the
needs
still
exist
to
extend
the
bylaws
application
beyond
the
sunset
date,
based
on
public
health
advice
as
well
so
later
in
the
summer
we
did
in
addition
to
approve.
We
did
approve
amendments.
Excuse
me
to
the
bylaw
to
include
enclosed
common
areas
of
condominiums
and
multi-unit
residential
buildings
and
designated
unenclosed
public
spaces.
Under
delegated
authority,
council
extended
the
sunset
date
of
the
bylaw
from
august
26
to
november
first
and
of
course,
november.
F
H
E
F
I
asked
that
question
of
the
our
solicitor
at
six
to
one
half
dozen,
the
other,
I
suppose,
because,
ultimately
we
either
have
to
reinstate
it
or
withdraw
the
the
motion,
so
we
have
to
do
some
action
either
way
and
we
chose
to
be
more
proactive
and
and
set
a
date.
You
know,
I'm
not
sure.
If
we're
going
to
be,
I
suspect,
we'll
probably
have
to
extend
that
beyond
the
first
meeting
in
january,
given
the
state
of
copen.
Now,
mr
white,
you
have
any
other
comments
to
add
on
that.
F
D
F
I
Thank
you,
your
worship.
I
wish
fervently
that
I
didn't
have
to
bring
forward
this
motion,
but
the
reality
is
that
racism
exists
in
many
forms
and
in
all
places.
Unfortunately,
coven
19
has
only
reinforced
and
accelerated
what
we
all
know.
Racism
continues
to
impact
our
city
and
to
be
clear.
The
motion
before
us
today
about
anti-east
asian
racism
doesn't
diminish
the
other
forms
of
racism
that
being
anti-black
racism,
islamophobia,
anti-semitism
and
racism
against
indigenous
people,
which
have
long
existed
in
canada.
I
Increasing
reports
of
instances
of
racism
against
people
of
asian
descent
began
to
emerge
early
on
in
2020,
as
covet
19
began
to
take
hold
even
before
the
declaration
of
a
pandemic.
Chinese
and
other
asian
restaurants
in
our
city
saw
drops
from
patrons
businesses
run
by
asian
canadians
reported
instances
of
patrons
questioning
whether
it
was
safe
to
be
there.
Despite
many
of
these
people,
never
having
set
foot
in
wuhan
accelerated,
no
doubt
by
the
extremist
rhetoric
in
the
united
states.
I
More
overt
acts
of
racism
began
to
be
reported
throughout
canada,
the
canadian,
the
chinese,
canadian
national
council
for
social
justice
in
conjunction
with
other
groups
with
funding
from
heritage.
Canada
has
been
collecting
data
about
racist
incidents
across
canada.
This
community-led,
national
collaboration
of
data
collection,
is
the
first
of
its
kind.
In
its
report
released
in
september,
it
cataloged
600
incidents
reported
since
the
onset
of
colvin
19.
worryingly,
women
are
impacted,
most
reporting
60
of
all
incidents.
The
angus
read
institute
surveyed,
500,
canadians
of
chinese
ethnicity.
I
Statistics
canada,
wider
sample
in
september,
has
indicated
that
28
of
participants
in
their
surveys
have
reported
experiencing
discrimination
during
the
pandemic
with
women
encountering
this
more
than
men.
It
is
consistent
with
earlier
reporting
in
may
that
demonstrated
that
one
in
five
respondents
identified
as
a
visible
minority
had
encountered
harassment
or
attacks
double
that
of
the
rest
of
the
population.
I
What
do
these
instances
of
hate
look
like
name-calling,
spitting
harassment
and
physical
assault
graffiti
on
businesses?
Phrases
such
as
you
brought
the
virus
here
and
go
back
to
where
you
came
from
the
chief
public
health
officer
of
canada,
dr
teresa
tam
had
her
ability
and
loyalty
questioned
by
a
member
of
parliament
simply
because
she
is
a
chinese
descent.
I
All
of
these
instances
serve
to
continue
the
perpetual
foreigner
myth
that,
no
matter
how
long
you've
been
here
if
you've
been
born
in
canada,
your
family
has
been
here
for
generations.
It
didn't
matter
anymore
because
of
how
you
look
at
its
core.
This
is
what
racism
is
about
is
about
judging
someone
purely
by
the
appearance
by
their
appearance
by
the
color
of
their
skin.
I
Before
anybody
tells
us
that
this
didn't
happen
in
ottawa,
it
does
latest
statistics
from
ottawa
police
indicate
that
there
have
been
at
least
14
instances
this
year
of
reported
hate
crimes
due
to
someone
being
of
east
or
southeast
asian
descent.
This
is
a
600
increase
on
the
year
to
date,
statistics
and
the
number
of
non-reported
cases
is
likely
much
higher.
While
I
understand
the
apprehension
of
some
to
report,
the
ottawa
police
has
asked
that
all
instances
of
hate
crimes,
regardless
of
how
trivial
they
may
seem,
are
reported.
I
Asians,
I
remind
my
colleagues
that
these
are
the
incidents
we
hear
of
and
just-
and
these
are
just
recent
examples
long
before
these
recent
state
of
hate
research
done
by
our
friends
at
somerset,
west
community
health
center
in
focus
chinese
seniors
told
us
that
people
are
racist
and
aggressive
to
them
on
public
transit.
Today's
motion
follows
similar
emotions
made
by
city
councilors
city
councils
in
toronto,
montreal
and
vancouver.
It
echoes
the
call
to
action
that
our
colleagues
in
toronto
have
made
to
bring
attention
and
the
need
to
combat
racism
in
the
city.
I
As
community
leaders,
we
have
the
obligation
to
set
the
tone
for
our
city.
We
have
the
responsibility
to
take
action
and
encourage
all
citizens
of
our
city
to
be
part
of
the
solution.
I
asked
my
colleagues
to
join
myself
and
counselor
mckinney
in
stating
that
we
unequivocally
denounced
these
instances
of
anti-east
asian
racism
and
that
we
do
not
tolerate
racism
in
any
of
its
forms
in
asking
our
city
staff
to
launch
a
public
information
campaign,
we're
calling
on
every
single
citizen
of
ottawa
to
actively
be
involved.
I
B
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
I
just
want
to
thank
counselor
king
for
his
work
on
this
motion.
The
only
request
I
would
have
I
would
hope
it
would
be
a
friendly
amendment,
we've
heard
from
probably
each
of
us
have
heard
from
residents
within
our
community,
but
we've
also
heard
from
the
japanese
community
association.
B
F
B
B
And
I
really
really
appreciate
this
and
particularly
bothered
by
the
fact
that
women
are
are,
are
a
target
and
frankly,
there's
evidence
and
I'm
very
grateful
that
this
is
being
brought
forward,
because
it's
very
necessary
to
call
it
out.
So
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
and
thank
you
to
staff
for
their
contribution
on
this.
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
to
my
colleague
councillor
king
for
this,
this
motion.
As
the
representative
the
councillor,
I
represent
an
area
of
the
city
that
includes
chinatown.
It
includes
areas
of
the
city
where
people
settled
who
came
here
from
asian
countries,
from
china,
from
vietnam
from
korea,
and
I
always
always
point
out
that
we
would
not
have
the
downtown
that
we
have
today
without
without
those
members
of
our
community,
we
would
not
have
the
population
that
supports
the
parks.
J
We
have
the
businesses,
we
have
the
traditional
main
streets
that
we
have
the
recreation
centers,
everything
that
that
makes
a
downtown
and
hampton
city
strong
and
vibrant.
So
every
time
I
have
an
opportunity
to
thank
the
chinese
community,
the
vietnamese
community,
the
korean
community,
east
asian
community.
J
I
always
want
to
do
so
because
we
do
owe
them
a
debt
of
gratitude
and
so
to
see
this
turn
today
to
to
know
what's
happening
in
the
city,
with
the
heightened
racism
against
our
our
neighbors.
Our
friends,
our
business
owners
of
of
east
asian
descent
is
is
really
heartbreaking
and
it
does
harm
to
our
entire
city.
J
B
D
D
F
D
D
So,
whereas
our
our
city,
province
and
country
are
currently
dealing
with
continued
anti-black
racism
and
the
indigenous
racism
systemic
racism,
including
in
our
police
services,
and
whereas
there
is
widespread
recognition
that
mental
health
calls
can
be
addressed
more
effectively.
Reducing
the
criminalization
of
poverty,
drug
use
and
mental
illness,
and
whereas
alternative
models
of
community
safety
have
been
studied
and
implemented
in
other
jurisdictions
with
success.
D
Increased
training
for
all
members
and
community
members
involved
in
mental
health
related
calls,
and
whereas
the
opsb
and
ops
are
committed
to
significant
change
in
delivery
of
mental
health
services
and
have
identified
the
need
to
work
with
the
broader
community
to
achieve
this
change
and
whereas
the
city
of
ottawa's,
community
safety
and
well-being
plan
has
identified
mental
health
as
a
key
priority
and
the
city
should
play
a
role
in
advancing
this
work,
therefore
be
it
resolve.
The
council
support
the
opsb
and
ops
in
their
plan
to
develop
a
comprehensive
mental
health
strategy.
D
D
The
council
support
the
ops
and
opsb's
stated
intention
to
include
in
its
mental
health
strategy
consultations
and
corresponding
reports,
discussion
of
potential
alternative
models
of
community
safety
response,
including
those
that
allow
for
a
non-police
response
when
warranted,
and
so
I
thank
councillor
deans
for
for
working
on
this
motion
and
the
other
information
that
came
forward
on
monday.
I
also
believe
the
chief
slowly
has
been
made
aware
of
this
motion
as
well.
D
This
replacement
motion
sees
some
revisions
and
it
changes.
It
really
strengthens
the
motion.
The
motion
affirms
and
clarifies
the
intention
to
move
forward
with
important
reforms,
and
this
is
city
council's
opportunity
to
demonstrate
support
for
that
important
work.
We
know
there's
appetite
in
the
community
for
these
changes.
We
know
that
you
know
over
two
thousand
people
have
now
signed
on
to
a
petition
calling
for
it
there's
been
gatherings.
D
F
B
B
Not
just
you
know
have
the
motion
even
and
in
front
of
me
it's
almost
it's
two
different
motions.
He
was
my
colleague
was
reading
a
motion.
It
doesn't
even
is
in
the
package
we
received
the
other
day,
so
I
believe,
I'm
not
sure
if
the
chair
would
agree
to
it,
but
maybe
I
should
go
to
the
police
port.
I
think
that
the
police
board
is
the
place
to
to
discuss
this
issue
not
on
and
not
just
let
it
pass
through
us
and.
F
That's
my
thought.
Thank
you
yeah!
Thank
you
for
that
counselor.
My
understanding
is
obviously,
since
we're
passing
this.
We
actually
are
sending
it
to
the
the
police
board
and,
as
you
know
better
than
most,
they
have
that
public
delegation
period
at
the
beginning
and
this
if
this
is
on
their
agenda,
so
maybe
we
can
just
ensure
counselor
menard.
Since
it's
your
motion
that
this
motion
be
circulated
to
members
of
the
police
services
board.
F
J
Mr
mr
mayor,
if
I
could
just
for
a
second,
what
this
motion
does
is
just
support
the
work
of
the
psp
and
the
ops.
It's
asking
council,
as
representatives
of
the
public,
to
support
the
good
work
that
the
psb
and
the
os
ops
is
doing.
I've
already
circulated
this
motion
to
members
before
they're
aware
that
council's
addressing
this
today,
I
think
it's
absolutely
appropriate
that
council
address
it
today.
F
No,
I
I
have
no
problem
addressing
it
today,
but
I
just
want
I
think
councillor.
Al
shantiri's
point
is
if
councillor
menard
is
amenable
to
ensuring
that
this
be
put
on
the
agenda
so
that
the
public
can
speak
to
it
at
a
future
board
meeting
as
well
just
to
have
that
public
input.
Councilman.
Are
you
okay,.
F
Okay,
so
this
motion
will
appear
on
their
agenda,
then
a
future
meeting
I
just
want
to
make.
I
think
councilor
al
shanteria's
point
is
the
public
have
had
no
input
in
this
resolution
because
it
came
directly
to
council,
but
if
it
goes
to
the
police
services
board
at
the
public
delegation
period,
public
can
speak
to
it,
support
it
and
so
on.
F
D
I
think
what
we
need
to
do
is
pass
this
past.
This
motion
here
today
to
make
sure
that
council
supports
the
direction
that
we're
heading
in
and
once
we
pass
that
motion.
This
will
flow
back
where
the
public
has
an
opportunity
to
speak,
both
as
the
police
board
and
the
public
consultations
that
occurred,
but
it's
important
we
passed
it
today
at
council
and
that
all
councillors
support
this
direction,
given
what's
happening
in
our
country
and
around
the
world.
So
I
I
would
urge
us
to
pass
this
to
the
instrument.
F
J
F
I
Thank
you,
your
worship.
I
commented
in
june
at
ottawa
police
services
board
meeting
that
the
police
service
should
work
more
to
enhance
mental
health
crisis
services,
especially
concerning
the
coordination
of
crisis
response,
which
should
primarily
focus
on
intervention
with
health
professionals
rather
than
relying
on
sworn
officers.
I
This
is
why
I'm
pleased
that
the
proposed
mental
health
crisis
response
strategy
in
the
proposed
2021
police
budget
will
look
towards
community
and
social
service
organizations
to
take
the
primary
lead
to
address
mental
health
response
at
the
police
services
board
meeting
held
just
this
monday.
She
slowly
acknowledged
that
a
different
model
is
required
to
transition
current
crisis
response
options
to
primarily
involve
professional
mental
health
practitioners
in
front
line
response.
I
I
believe
that
the
best
type
of
response
detached
sworn
officers
and
the
police
service
from
being
the
key
responder.
Such
an
approach
would
shift
mental
health
crisis
response
to
primarily
involve
professionals
that
can
better
assist
individuals
experiencing
a
mental
health
or
addictions
related
crisis.
I
As
the
police
service
moves
towards
this
change,
the
city
of
ottawa
also
needs
to
allocate
appropriate
resources
to
address
emergency
mental
health
response.
Our
city
needs
to
fund
new
mobile
mental
health
crisis
intervention
programs
so
that
we
do
not
primarily
need
to
rely
on
the
police
service
to
respond
to
people
in
crisis.
Ottawa
should
emulate
cities
in
the
united
states
and
europe
that
have
developed
mental
health
crisis
assistance
models
that
work
independently.
I
I
While
I
applaud
chief
slowly
for
proposing
changes
to
policing
concerning
mental
health
in
ottawa,
community
members
also
want
to
ensure
that
a
meaningful
public
consultation
process
concerning
the
strategy
emerges
so
that
they
can
have
their
say.
It
is
therefore
essential
that
we
seek
the
widest
possible
public
engagement
in
this
effort
to
bring
together
community
members,
along
with
the
broadest
range
of
social
agencies
and
other
stakeholders,
especially
from
racialized
and
indigenous
communities.
I
As
we
move
towards
systemic
change,
we
must
move
together
as
a
community,
especially
if
we
intend
to
build
trust
and
mutual
understanding
within
our
community
in
the
aftermath
of
the
grief,
trauma
and
suffering
that
the
black,
somali
and
muslim
communities
have
experienced
along
with
the
city
at
large.
I
thank
councillors,
monardan
mckinney,
for
moving
this
motion
and
I
intend
to
support
it
today.
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
mayor.
C
See
mr
matt,
thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
to
council
menard,
whom
I
saw
in
the
hallway
this
morning
and
councilor
mckenney
for
working
with
chair
deans.
On
the
revised
motion,
I
was
reassured
with
what
was
shared
by
chair
deans
and
chief
slowly
and
by
deputy
bell
at
monday's
free
services
board.
Meeting
this
motion
is
is
more
effective.
It's
more
nuanced
and
I
appreciate
the
changes
that
have
been
made
from
the
previous
version
that
we
that
we
got
on
october
14th.
C
C
C
It's
a
community
strategy,
it's
a
strategy
that
will
transcend
a
lot
of
services
here
at
the
city,
council,
suds
department
and
and
committee
and
and
others
and
many
departments
here
in
the
city
in
ottawa.
The
community
partnership
and
dialogue
is
not
just
appropriate
or
desirable
or
beneficial.
It's
absolutely
essential.
It's
absolutely
fundamental
to
to
for
this
issue,
and
it
involves
a
lot
of
community
partnerships
and
many
organizations
here
in
the
city
and
outside
of
our
our
city
government,
with
our
service
providers,
with
our
community
associations,
with
individuals
to
what
council
regulates
said.
C
It
needs
to
be
discussed
at
police
services
board,
but
we
also
need
to
reach
out.
So
I
encourage
police
services
board
ottawa
police
to
to
involve
to
exchange
with
with
black
indigenous
and
people,
people
of
color
collectives
and
organizations
now
not
not
a
year
from
now,
so
that
we
could
carve
out
a
plan
and
a
process
to
move
forward
and
involving
them
will
of
course
build
trust
and
transparency
and
lend
itself
to
a
better
outcome.
That's
built
by
and
for
our
community
members.
C
So
we
as
elected
officials
with
our
extraordinary
privilege,
need
to
continue
to
have
those
difficult
conversations
with
our
communities
to
understand
the
lived
experience
to
further
deepen
the
lived
experience
as
individuals
and
in
our
communities
to
get
on
to
the
path
forward.
How
we
build
our
social
infrastructure
to
be
robust
and
responsive
to
the
needs
of
our
residents.
So
I
will
support
the
motion.
I
hope
the
motion
passes
unanimously
so
that
we
can
continue
on
that
path
forward.
Yes
see,
mr
mata.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
J
And
I
think
we
also
have
to
recognize
that
as
a
city,
we
have
not
kept
up
our
part
of
the
bargain
in
terms
of
funding,
community
and
social
services,
funding,
pay
programs,
funding
health
services,
funding
the
types
of
services,
even
recreation
services,
that
people
need
that
our
communities
need
to
stay
well
to
stay
housed,
to
stay
out
of
poverty,
to
be
able
to
approach
their
day-to-day
lives
in
a
in
a
healthy
way.
And
we
know
that
that
the
consequences
of
that
are
systemic.
J
They
they
affect
racialized
communities
in
a
much
greater
proportion
than
they
do
others
and
they
affect
our
indigenous
community
at
a
far
greater
proportion
than
any
other.
So
we
have
our
work
to
do
too.
We
have
to
remember
that
going
into
the
budget,
we
have
a
community
well-being,
safety
plan
that
needs
funding,
just
not
words.
We
need
to
put
a
funding
attached
to
it.
So
I
look
forward
to
the
ongoing
consultation.
J
Thank
you
to
councillor
deans,
chair
of
police
services
board
for
all
of
the
the
work
that
we've
been
able
to
do
in
the
past
week
to
ensure
that
we
got
to
a
place
where
I
think
we
all
really
believe
that
we
are
going
to
help
communities
inform
us
what
they
need
so
that
we
can
move
ahead
and
make
real
differences
in
how
we
respond
to
them.
So
thank
you.
B
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor.
I
want
to
thank
councillor
menard
and
I
want
to.
I
want
to
thank
and
councillor
mckinney
for
the
motion,
but
also
for
working
cooperatively
with
with
chair
deans
on
this.
The
the
important
part
is
that
we
show
the
cooperation
and
the
and
a
certain
amount
of
trust
of
to
show
that
we
get
that
that
ops
is
signaling,
a
change
of
direction
and
it's
a
very
positive
change
of
direction,
and
it's
one
that
we
wanted.
B
I
listened
on
monday
evening
to
the
board
meeting
and
I
I
felt
that
it
was.
It
was
a
very
a
big
step
and
that
there's
commitment
behind
it
I
want
to.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
council
for
for
this,
because
this
is.
This
is
a
signal
that
we're
working
together,
but
we're
also
showing
trust
and
support
that
a
direction
is
being
taken.
I
I
That
was
a
traumatic
experience
for
the
black
and
somali
and
hintonburg
community
as
a
whole
and
last
week,
regardless
of
your
feelings
on
the
verdict,
I
know
that
everybody
around
this
table
sympathizes
with
and
understands
the
re-traumatization
that
occurred
with
the
verdict.
The
relationship
between
police
and
council
is
a
difficult
one
to
explain
to
people,
but
we
have
the
opportunity
to
exercise
our
moral
suasion
and
we
have
the
opportunity
to
use
our
voice.
I
I
Thanks
very
much,
mr
mayor,
you
know
I've
been
sitting
around
this.
This
table
live
and
virtually
now
for
10
years
or
so,
and-
and
I
have
to
say
this
motion
in
this
discussion
is
reminding
me
of
how
we
can
get
things
done
at
council
collaboratively
cooperatively,
different
counselors
from
different
backgrounds,
different
perspectives,
sitting
down
identifying
a
problem
focusing
on
how
we
can
fix
it,
focusing
on
who
our
city
partners
are
with
ops
and
and
oph
and
and
all
the
other
organizations.
I
So
I'm
very
heartened
by
the
discussion
that
we're
having
this
morning
and-
and
I
think
the
only
way
to
make
it
better
is
when
you
call
for
the
vote
each
and
every
one
of
us
unanimously
accepts
this
particular
initiative
and
direction,
and
I
would
suggest,
mr
mayor
this
is
one
of
those
motions
where
we
ask
for
yeas
and
nays
and
make
it
very
clear
on
the
record
where
we
all
are
on
this
particular
issue.
Thank
you.
F
J
I
also
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
counselors,
mckenny
and
menard
for
the
motion
that
you
see
here
today
and
all
of
council,
including
you,
mr
mayor,
for
the
work
that
all
of
us
together
have
put
into
getting
this
motion
where
it
is
today.
What
this
motion
says
to
me
is
that
city
council
fully
supports
the
work
that
the
employee
services
board
is
doing
with
ops
in
driving
a
change
agenda,
and
I
think
that's
a
very,
very
important
message
for
this
community
to
hear
that
we
have.
We
recognize
the
need
for
change.
J
We
have
heard
the
calls
for
change.
We
want
better
outcomes
in
this
city
and
we
are
going
to
work
as
collaboratively
and
as
hard
as
we
can
as
a
city
and
a
police
board
to
bring
about
better
outcomes
in
the
future.
You
know
it's
on
all
of
us
as
a
community.
This
is
not
just
a
police
issue.
In
fact,
many
of
the
calls
that
we
see
coming
into
police
that
involve
mental
health
calls
should
never
get
there.
We
should
be
dealing
with
the
upstream
issues.
J
J
We
should
be
supporting
those
so
that
they
don't
end
up
in
police
outcomes
at
the
end,
that's
the
failure,
so
I
think,
as
a
city
we
all
recognize.
There
is
a
lot
of
work
to
do
that.
We
can't
do
it
alone.
We
need
it
to
do
it
collaboratively.
We
need
to
be
open
to
listening
to
the
experts,
to
organizations
and
to
individuals
in
this
community
so
that
we
can
have
a
truly
made
in
ottawa
solution.
J
That
will
be
the
best
for
this
city
that
we
can
be.
The
police
services
board
is
ready
to
adjust
the
sales.
We
are
ready
to
move
forward
and
make
a
huge
difference,
and
I
have
to
tell
you
that
city
council's
unanimous
support
for
the
work
the
board
is
doing
is
very
uplifting
to
all
of
us,
and
I
just
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to.
Thank
you
all
for
your
support
today.
Thanks
mr
mayor.
F
Great
thank
you
very
much
counsellors
to
all
who
spoke
and
all
members
of
council
for
their
participation
and
particularly
pleased
that
this
emotion
is
very
much
aligned
with
chief
slowly's
vision
on
what
has
to
be
done.
Also
he's
been
very
clear
that
he
wants
to
work
collaboratively
with
us
from
a
financial
point
of
view,
of
course,
which
is
important,
and
the
board's
alignment
with
the
chief,
which
is
aligned
with
the
city
and,
ultimately
the
greater
community,
is
a
very
positive
thing.
F
I
also
want
to
thank
my
chief
of
staff,
serge
arpan,
as
well
as
robin
guest
director
policy,
who
has
the
police
file
in
my
office
for
their
work
with
councillor
deans
and
to
also
thank
councillors,
menard
and
mckinney,
for
bringing
forward
and
being
open
to
changes
to
make
the
the
motion,
I
think,
stronger
and
better
and
more
acceptable
to
all
members
of
council.
So
yeas
and
nays
have
been
called
on
the
motion.
Please.
C
H
C
I
G
F
F
Thank
you.
Merci
next
is
a
motion
by
counselor
tierney
seconded
by
myself,
and
I
just
before
I
asked
councillor
tierney
to
speak
to
this
item.
A
counselor
was
just,
I
believe,
yesterday,
a
re-elected
for
his
eighth
consecutive
term
as
the
chair
of
the
ontario
caucus
of
the
federation
of
canadian
municipalities.
So
councillor,
tierney,
congratulations
and
the
floor
is
yours
to
introduce
this
motion.
D
D
Would
not
only
see
great
tourism
coming
to
our
city,
but
also-
and
I
think
it's
very
timely-
the
debate
we
had
today
about
a
climate
and
looking
for
those
federal
funds.
The
importance
of
having
over
2000
member
municipalities
from
across
the
country
in
our
city
of
ottawa
spending
their
money,
but
also
getting
to
mingle
with
the
federal
elected
representatives
that
all
come
to
this
city
to
work
so
therefore
be
resolved.
F
Often
I'm
asked
by
members
of
the
public:
what's
what
are
these
motions
they're,
often
time
sensitive,
and
that's
why
we
have
to
suspend
the
rule
because
there
there's
a
time
element
to
them.
So
first
is
councillor
brockington
and
kavanaugh
with
promotion
of
outdoor
recreational
activities.
Obviously
winter
is
soon
before
us.
We
saw
some
snow
today
so
on
suspension
of
the
rules
carried
all
right.
Councillor
brockington,
please.
I
I
I
Winter
has
a
number
of
challenges,
a
lot
of
people
spend
more
time
indoors
and
that
that
is
not
necessarily
a
healthy
proposition
for
a
lot
of
people.
We
have
a
lot
of
great
amenities
in
the
city.
Outdoor
amenities
in
the
city
city
of
ottawa
certainly
embraces
winter,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
organized
and
unorganized
activities
that
people
can
take
part
in.
I
Three
publicly
identify
associations
and
our
community
partners
that
govern
or
oversee
snowmobile
trails
and
ice
fishing
locations
and
be
further
resolved
at
the
mayor.
Right
to
the
ceo
of
the
ncc
to
affirm
council
support
for
the
rideau
canal
gateway
2021
season,
and
so
I
think
this
is
fairly
clear
and
straightforward
and
I'll
end.
My
introduction.
F
B
B
It's
important
to
do
it
right
with
physical
distancing,
and
I
want
to
thank
my
colleague,
councillor
rockington,
for
bringing
this
forward.
This
is
really
important.
We
got
to
get
through
this
winter
and
stay
healthy
and
also
mental
health
is
a
very
important
part
of
this.
This
isn't
just
about
physical
health.
We
need
to
get
out
a
bit,
but
we
have
to
follow
the
rules.
So
thank
you
very
very
much
and
I
hope
you'll
support
it.
F
Okay,
thank
you
on
the
motion
carried
adopt
a
thank
you
right.
Next
motion
requiring
suspension
of
the
rules
is
by
councillor
kavanaugh,
signed
by
councillor
deans
on
the
end,
gender
based
violence,
activism,
16
days
of
activism,
on
suspension,
carried
adaptday
carried;
okay
counselor
kavanagh.
If
you
want
to
introduce,
maybe
just
the
some
of
therefore
be
resolved
or
speak
to
the
whole
item.
Your
choice.
B
B
B
I
want
to
give
a
special
thank
you
to
the
grandmother's
advocacy
network
who
got
this
started
five
years
ago,
where
they
asked
us
to
to
work
as
another
city
on
a
u.n
motion
of
shining
the
light
on
violence
against
women,
and
they
they
worked
hard
to
get
attention
on
this,
and
I
want
to
give
a
special
thank
you
to
hydro
ottawa
and
to
to
bryce
conrad
for
for
the
support
that
they
are
giving
on
this.
This
is
fantastic.
B
It's
a
it's
a
wonderful
gesture,
so
I
appreciate
their
support
on
it's
very
appropriate
light
and
it's
an
orange
light
and
it's
something
that
is
being
done
in
other
countries,
so
I'm
glad
that
ottawa
is
looking
to
to
join
in
and
mr
mayor,
I
appreciate
that
this
is
going
to
declare
16
days
of
activism
to
end
gender-based
violence
in
the
city
of
ottawa.
Thank
you
very
much.
F
B
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
my
colleague
councilor
al
shantiri,
and
I
are
happy
to
support
this
initiative
that
came
from
your
staff.
Who's
been
working
hard
with
the
industry,
matt
gravel,
so
I
want
to
give
shout
out
to
matt
the
this
would
extend
the
the
ability
to
with
the
economic
partners
task
force
extension
to
november
15th
of
what
we've
already
approved
on
october.
B
The
14th
should
help
restaurants
get
over
the
current
28-day
closure
of
indoor
dining,
and
so
when
we
approve
that
on
october
14th,
we
also
continue
to
work
with
the
patio
operators
to
encourage
cafe
seating
options
as
an
alternative
option
to
sidewalk,
patios
and
street
side
spots
so
therefore
be
resolved.
The
council
approves
that
the
building
permit
fee
is
required
to
have
a
patio
tent
structure,
be
waived
from
october
9th
to
december
31st
to
allow
restaurants
to
provide
alternative,
dining
arrangements
to.
F
E
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
then
thank
you
for
the
motion.
I'll
certainly
be
supportive.
I
just
want
to
bring,
as
you
know,
councillor
mckinney
and
I
have
90
of
the
right-of-way
patios
in
ottawa
and
and
want
to
thank
steve
willis
and
his
entire
team
for
being
responsive
and
flexible
during
the
economic
recovery
for
our
important
business,
local
business
community.
I
want
to
raise
one
point.
B
I
was
just
going
to
answer
council
fleury
with
with
the
same
answer,
mr
mayor,
but
I
would
encourage
all
pad
your
owner,
mr
mayor.
They
should
reach
out
to
our
staff
and
has
that
dialogue,
because
that's
helpful
to
make
sure
we
keep
the
roads
open
and
safe
and
and
and
we
help
them
to
to
do
the
right
thing.
But
I
mean
mr
rose
answered
the
counselor's
question.
Thank
you
and
I
hope
we'll
get
your
support
on
the
motion.
F
B
Thank
you.
So
I
think
that
there's
been
a
few
times
in
this
term
that
I've
asked
for
this
exemption
is
part,
lock,
control
exemption
delegation
of
authority,
and
it
has
to
do
with
homes
for
new
owners
being
registered
and
when
there
is
a
hiccup
in
time
you
know
with
our
council
meetings
not
being
on
an
every
two
week
rotation.
B
There
are
a
couple
that
we
know
of,
and
there
may
be
a
few
more
where
delegation
of
authority
needs
to
be
given
to
our
acting
director
of
planning,
which
we
approve.
That
process
I
think
earlier
this
year
or
late
last
year.
So
this
would
allow
the
director
of
planning
to
with
approve
with
the
concurrence
of
the
local
councillor,
who
in
this
case
the
two
that
we
know
is
myself
and
counselor
kids
to
give
the
convey
the
title
and
the
new
homes
to
the
new
owners.
F
B
H
H
B
Is
needed
and
so
I'll
skip
ahead,
therefore,
be
it
resolved.
The
council
approved
that,
pursuant
to
section
45
of
the
planning
act,
an
application
to
the
committee
of
adjustment
be
permitted
in
respect
to
the
property
at
2128
trim
road
for
a
minor
variance
associated
with
the
proposed
development
limited
to
the
location
of
parking
spaces
permitted
in
a
front
yard.
As
per
section
109
3
a
I
of
bylaw
2008.
I
C
I
F
E
Yes,
mr
math,
this
is
regarding
renovictions.
I
don't
know
if
it's
on
the
screen,
I
don't
know
if
the
clerk
can
go
on
the
screen.
Yes,
thank
you
where,
whereas
on
january,
20,
29
2020
city
council
unanimously
endorsed
a
resolution
that
declared
an
affordable
housing
and
homelessness
crisis
and
emergency,
and
whereas
on
july,
21st,
2020
royal
ascent
was
given
to
bill
184
being
the
protecting
tenants
and
strengthening
community
housing
act,
2020,
which
the
provincial
government
stated
would
seek
to
end
renovations.
F
J
J
F
I
Thank
you
mayor
since
april,
the
province's
emergency
regulations
to
deal
with
kovid
have
allowed
construction
to
begin
at
six
a.m.
On
construction
projects,
that's
seven
days
a
week.
We
know
that
a
motion
is
probably
coming
forward
at
queen's
park
in
the
next
few
weeks
to
ask
the
province
to
give
cities
control
of
the
noise
bylaw
back
to
cities.
I
think
most
people
are
aware.
Normally
it's
only
allowed
starting
at
7.
00
a.m
with
a
9
a.m,
start
on
weekends.
F
F
I
F
We've
received
no
inquiries.
I
do
want
to
congratulate
councillor
lulaf,
who
launched
the
veterans
task
force
yesterday
with
a
great
zoom
conference,
and
we
wish
him
the
very
best
as
he
continues
to
work
for
veterans,
particularly
those
veterans
who
are
homeless
and
seeking
employment
and
greater
opportunities
in
our
community.
So
I
appreciate
that
councillor
egg
lai
chairman,
please.
