A
C
I'll
be
moving
to
order.
This
is
a
continuation
of
the
meeting
from
yesterday
november
20th
and
carolyn.
I
heard
you
I'm
sorry
that
that
is
happening
and
we
have
a
responsibility
as
a
board
to
work
through
difficult
issues
with
the
community,
and
hopefully
we
can
get
to
a
more
respectful
place
in
the
future,
where
we
don't
have
these
kinds
of
issues
tonight
we
are
dealing.
C
Our
first
order
is
the
continuation
of
the
consideration
of
the
2021
budget
last
night,
when
we
recessed
for
the
evening,
we
had
not
called
the
two
members
of
council
who
had
registered
to
speak,
so
I
have
offered
them
both
an
opportunity
to
address
the
meeting
today.
First,
so,
if
they're
on
the
line,
I'm
going
to
call
on
riley
brockington
to
address
the
board
now.
D
Thank
you
chair
so
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
chief,
slowly
and
all
other
guests.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
at
your
two-day
budget
hearing
for
the
2021
budget.
My
name
is
riley
brockington,
the
counselor
for
riverwort,
the
residents
and
business
owners
of
my
ward
appreciate
the
work
that
the
auto
police
service
does
in
our
city.
D
However,
they
also
recognize
that
important
reforms
are
needed
and
needed
now
following
significant
public
outcry,
particularly
in
2020
as
a
result
of
tragic
incidents
in
north
america
between
the
police
and
private
citizens,
some
of
which
lost
their
lives.
I
issued
a
public
statement
this
past
spring
that
acknowledged
the
existence
of
systematic
racism
within
our
society,
including
our
police
services,
and
I'm
committed,
like
you,
are
to
supporting
immediate
changes
that
will
address
a
number
of
chronic
systematic
issues.
D
Earlier
in
june,
my
colleague,
counselor
king
wrote
in
the
ottawa
citizen
quote.
Canadians
ought
not
make
the
assumption
that
our
country
has
not
been
impacted
by
the
same
currents
of
racial
injustice
and
entrenched
systematic
inequality.
Canada
is
also
confronted
by
the
same
major
and
historical
challenges
which
include
anti-black
racism,
police,
brutality.
The
controversial
practice
of
karting
and
the
wide
economic
disparities
encountered
by
indigenous
communities
and
people
of
color
end
quote.
He
is
correct.
D
First,
I
wish
to
state
that
we
as
a
society
need
the
police
full
stop.
Police
culture
needs
to
change,
and,
although
challenging
to
do
so,
even
an
air
craft
carrier
can
turn
around.
It
does
not
happen
fast,
but
it
can
be
done
and
it
must
be
done.
The
board
must
encourage
the
chief
to
preserve
the
good
and
root
out
the
bad.
D
D
The
basic
premise
of
defunding
the
police
is
something
that
I
understand
and
believe
we
need
to
model
more
towards
in
that
as
patrick
shark.
The
sorry
patrick
sharkey,
a
professor
at
princeton
state's
quote
when
neighborhood
organizations
engage
young
people
with
well-run
after-school
activities
and
summer
job
programs.
Those
young
people
are
dramatically
less
likely
to
be
involved
in
crime
when
local
organizations
reclaimed
abandoned
lots
and
turn
them
into
green
spaces.
D
So
reflecting
on
the
most
recent
election
campaign
in
the
states,
president-elect
biden
said
he
supports
the
urgent
need
for
reform
and
even
bernie
sanders
calls
for
reforms.
Not
not
abolishment
quote
sanders
says
quote.
I
think
we
want
to
redefine
what
police
departments
do
give
them
the
support
they
need
to
make
their
jobs
better
defined,
well-trained,
well-educated
professionals
in
police
departments,
in
a
quote.
D
So,
what's
the
challenge
for
me
as
a
counselor,
without
knowing
where
the
ops
is
headed,
it's
difficult
for
decision
makers
to
make
drastic
decisions
on
the
budget
in
the
same
breath.
Continuing
with
the
status
quo
or
a
slightly
different
version
of
the
status
quo,
ignores
those
screaming
for
much
needed
reforms
simply
put.
This
is
not
a
win-win
budget
for
all
residents
of
ottawa.
D
D
These
have
widely
been
embraced
by
members
of
council
in
the
community,
but
even
after
a
year,
a
lot
of
what
they
do
is
still
unknown,
and
I've
asked
the
chief
and
and
others
for
this
very
important
data
and
finally
reach
out
to
city
council
for
two
sessions
in
2021
that
provide
a
genuine
opportunity
to
learn
about
the
ops,
the
direction
you're
headed
in
the
short
term.
The
vision
for
the
long
term,
how
you
plan
to
get
there.
D
C
C
The
police
would
come
back
with
a
comprehensive
draft
plan
that
would
ultimately
be
approved
by
the
board
that
would
establish
the
new
hires
and
who
they
would
be,
but
instead
of
in
the
past,
where
they
would
all
be
sworn
officers
this
year,
they
would
be
a
mix
of
something
that
I
think
is
more
reflective
of
what
the
community
is
looking
for.
So
that's
the
first
one.
The
second
one
publicly
share
the
metrics
for
the
nrts,
I'm
looking
at
steve
bell,
but
I
don't
see
any
reason
why
we
couldn't
publicly
share
that.
C
So
we
will
and
the
third
one
reach
out
to
city
council
for
two
sessions,
sort
of
educational
sessions
and
maybe
lunch
bag
sessions
on
on
the
police
service,
and
I
would
be
happy
to
do
that.
I
think
that
makes
absolute
sense.
So
thank
you
very
much
councillor
brockington
for
your
thoughtful
input
and
we're
always
happy
to
see
you
at
the
police
services
board.
C
C
I
know
all
the
members
of
council
are
super
busy
right
now,
so
unfortunately
it
appears
that
councillor
fleury
has
not
been
able
to
join
us
and
they
were
the
only
two
members
of
council
that
had
registered
at
this
time
to
address
the
board.
So
we're
now
going
to
open
the
floor
for
questions
to
the
service
from
members
of
the
board
regarding
of
the
2021
budget.
E
E
C
E
E
E
E
As
a
board,
we
represent
the
public's
interest
in
the
function
of
policing
in
the
city
of
ottawa
and
as
a
board
member,
I
do
want
to
state
very
clearly
that
I
recognize
the
important
role
and
function
that
ottawa
police
service
place
in
our
community
and
despite
some
very
real
challenges
that
we
continue
to
address.
The
ops
does
make
this
city
better
for
us
all.
E
I
understand
that
as
a
police
budget
is
such
a
large
component
of
the
city's
budget,
we
tend
to
focus
on
it.
Having
said
that,
the
larger
goal
for
us
all
is
a
safe,
healthy
and
inclusive
community,
and
that
requires
the
coordination
of
efforts
in
sectors
well
beyond
policing,
social
services,
the
health
and
mental
health
systems,
education,
housing
to
name
only
a
few.
I
don't
want
us
to
lose
sight
of
our
role
as
a
board
to
advance
these
discussions
as
well.
Otherwise,
the
singular
focus
on
policing
will
be
of
a
limited
value.
E
The
reality
is,
the
majority
of
the
police
budget
represent
fixed
and
inflationary
cost,
the
salaries
of
our
civilian
and
swan
members,
the
cost
of
equipment
and
fuel.
There
is
very
very
little
that
is
discretionary
in
the
budget
for
us
to
debate
when
it
is
presented
in
this
format,
and
yet
there
can
be
a
role
for
greater
public
input
and
comment
on
policing
and
the
role
of
the
auto
police
service
through
the
budget
process.
E
Madam
chair,
the
next
year
that
is
2021
budget.
I
would
like
us
to
consider
as
a
board
how
we
might
be
able
to
do
this
in
coordination
with
the
chief
and
his
team.
For
example,
we
have
heard
the
concerns
of
advocates
around
the
police
response
to
gender-based
crimes,
such
as
sexual
assault
and
domestic
violence.
E
Can
we
have
a
discussion
on
what
the
community
expectations
are
of
the
police
response
in
this
area
and
then
consider
a
zero-based
budgeting
approach
to
right-size
these
units
and
the
resources
they
are
provided?
Hate
clients
have
community
impacts,
far
beyond
those
that
are
directly
affected
and
they
can
produce
other
forms
of
intolerance
and
incivility
in
our
community.
E
Can
we
have
a
discussion
on
what
the
public
expects
the
police
response
to
be
and
what
that
would
cost
as
a
portion
of
the
police
budget?
Road
safety
has
always
been
a
key
issue
for
many
neighborhoods.
What
should
the
traffic
enforcement
response
be
from
the
ottawa
police?
What
standard
of
enforcement
and
police
intervention
are
we
willing
to
pay
for,
or
do
we
want
to
recommend
other
options,
such
as
red
light
cameras
and
photo
radars?
E
E
E
C
E
C
F
G
G
There's
a
further
1.7
million
dollars
included
in
the
growth
category
that
relates
to
wage
annualized
wages
for
the
30
growth
officers
that
were
hired
in
2020..
So
you
include
those
two
numbers
together
that
equates
to
13
million
dollars
of
13.2
million
increase
is
related
to
as
related
to
inflation.
H
F
G
F
G
G
G
The
sexual
violence
and
harassment
project
is
targeted
at
180
000
and
additional
de-escalation
and
intercultural
competency.
Anti-Racism
training
is,
is
costed
at
two
a
little
over
two
hundred
thousand
dollars,
there's
an
additional
2.7
million
dollars
of
efficiencies
which
are
savings.
These
are
base
budget
reductions
that
reduce
the
total
size
of
the
budget
increase
and
then
there's
a
small
amount
of
150
000
of
revenue
increases
for
user
fees.
B
Five
of
those
positions
will
go
to
add
an
additional
five
crime
prevention
officers.
Again
that
advances
our
ability
to
deliver
community
policing,
neighborhood
policing
across
the
city,
but
particularly
in
the
rural
and
suburban
areas,
two
positions,
five
additional
positions
go
into
our
sexual
assault
and
and
partner
assault.
B
B
B
F
B
This
is
in
support
of
the
joint
board
and
service
initiative,
co-chaired
by
myself
and
chair
deans,
to
advance
this
larger
strategy
in
the
organization.
It
is
funding
to
accomplish
that
priority
and
it
relates
directly
to
the
board's
edi
priorities,
as
well
as
the
health
and
wellness
of
our
members.
Two
priorities
of
the
board.
B
Sorry,
mental
health
strategy
that
is
a
clear
statement
that
we're
making
in
terms
of
funding
and
and
joining
a
large
group
of
community
members
from
across
the
city
to
design
that
strategy.
I'm
actually
going
to
turn
that
portion
of
the
answer
over
to
deputy
bell
to.
I
don't
want
to
preclude
a
presentation
that
was
coming
to
the
december
meeting.
But
in
answer
to
your
question,
I
think
deputy
bell
can
talk
about
the
framework
of
consultation
and
then
I'll
come
back
and
conclude
the
longer
term
vision
of
the
impact
of
that
investment.
Deputy
bell.
I
Yeah,
thanks
chief,
so
member
suede,
where
we're
landing
on
that
or
where
we're
trying
to
work
with
our
community
on
that
is
around
bringing
to
the
december
board
meeting
a
consultation
plan
for
approval
by
the
board,
as
we've
had
in
many
discussions
previously,
it's
a
really
important
issue
to
to
look
at
from
a
policing
perspective,
to
not
only
be
able
to
address
some
response
to
to
crisis
response.
So
how
do
police
better?
Do
that?
I
We've
been
been
involved
with
some
preliminary
discussions
with
several
mental
health
networks
within
the
city
and
the
resounding
information
we
get
back.
Is
it's
going
to
be
vitally
important
that
this
isn't
an
ottawa
police
decided,
directed
and
implemented
strategy?
We
need
to
really
make
sure
that
we
bring
in
those
community
members
to
help
us
identify
exactly
how
they
can
best
support
us.
I
We're
we're
being
very
deliberately
intentional
in
taking
this
to
the
community.
Listening
to
our
community,
because
they've
been
loud
and
clear
with
us
that
police
organizations
of
the
past
have
very
actively
jumped
to
conclusions
and
jump
to
exactly
what
they
want
to
do
to
implement
and
that's
not
going
to
work
in
this.
We
need
to
actually
make
sure
it's
a
a
whole
of
service
whole
of
city
approach
in
terms
of
how
we
best
respond
to
it.
B
Thank
you,
steve
and
members.
Wait
if
I
could
just
add
the
longer
term
vision,
we'd
like
to
be
involved
less
and
less
in
all
aspects
of
this,
except
where
the
police
are
most
needed
and
still
necessary,
particularly
around
those
responses
where
there
is
clearly
at
the
start
of
it
or
any
part
of
it,
an
element
of
violence
or
criminality.
B
The
best
models
that
we've
seen
anywhere
in
the
world,
from
scotland
to
the
cahoots
model
in
eugene
oregon,
still
have
a
component
of
police
response
significantly
reduced,
far
more
integrated
across
the
school.
The
full
spectrum,
far
more
focused
on
prevention
and
health
outcomes
that
preclude
the
necessity
to
even
reach
out
to
health
care
providers
or
certainly
emergency
service
providers.
B
F
B
I
think
on
two
fronts:
if
the
demand
shifts
the
resources
should
shift,
if
the
demand
increases
for
a
whole
bunch
of
reasons
another
another
pandemic
covet
another
version
of
opioid,
we
can
anticipate
a
range
of
health
care
challenges.
However,
the
demand
increases.
The
resources
should
go
in
that
direction.
B
There
is
a
police
chief
in
canada
that
I
know
that
wants
to
continue
to
maintain
the
current
levels
of
service
delivery,
around
mental
health
and
addictions,
and
there
are
a
variety
of
efforts
across
this
country,
some
of
them
more
mature
than
others.
Our
intent
is
to
learn
from
those
efforts
nationally
and
internationally
to
inform
our
efforts
here,
but
our
goal
is
to
reduce
the
demands
that
we
are
currently
delivering
on
and
enable
other
areas
to
pick
them
up,
including
the
resources
to
deliver
on
them.
F
B
Pretty
well
everyone,
including
us
here,
in
fact,
the
mental
health
unit
that
we're
working
on
here
is
an
example
of
reducing
demand
factor
on
us.
But
the
best
examples
are
some
of
the
better
examples
are
in
vancouver
edmonton
right
now.
We
know
that
toronto
police
service
are
looking
at
embedding
a
mental
health
practitioner
within
their
communications
operations
center
to
do
triage
and
prioritization
right
at
source.
J
You
thank
you
chair
deans,
and
I
did
have
a
few
questions
for
mr
letourneau.
I
guess
just
to
really
reiterate
the
the
point
made
by
a
member
of
soyza.
I
wanted
to
just
confirm
that
the
8.8
million
dollars
is
what
is
necessary
in
terms
of
an
increase
to
meet
statutory
employment
obligations
and
collective
agreement
increases
just
want
to
confirm
that.
G
Well,
in
terms
of
interfacing
with
city
staff,
I
think
there
wouldn't
be
an
impact
we
we
work
quite
closely
with
city
staff
and
in
terms
of
the
budget
development
process,
so
so
that
that
work
would
would
continue
as
it
currently
does
in
terms
of
impacts
on
the
organization,
as
the
board
is
in
collective
bargaining
with
with
both
associations.
Right
now,
it
would
depend
on
the
outcome
of
of
of
bargaining.
H
Thank
you
very
much.
I
want
to
just
go
back
to
something
that
counselor
brocklington
said
earlier
and
I
think
certainly
resonates
and
it's
kind
of
on
the
bigger
picture
thing,
and
certainly
the
chief
has
touched
on
it
as
well,
about
redefining
what
police
are
doing
and
chief
you've
talked
about
that.
H
H
These
are
priorities
for
the
board
and
they
are
directions
we
want
to
go
in
and
I'm
hoping
that,
to
a
certain
extent,
some
of
this,
that
we
would
be
working
towards
a
reallocation
of
resources
internally-
and
I
think
the
chief
has
alluded
to
this-
that
we
would
accomplish
these
these
board
priorities,
not
necessarily
by
hiring
more
sworn
officers.
Certainly,
if
that's
necessary,
so
be
it.
We
have
an
additional
number
of
officers
every
year
that
turn
over.
H
We
have
growth
officers,
but
we
also
have
replacement
officers,
and
I
would
like
to
think
that,
within
those
replacement
officers,
we
may
be
able
to
be
getting
the
the
the
requirements.
The
the
skill
sets
that
the
chief
has
referred
to
with
respect
to
the
board's
priorities,
so
that
maybe
that
we
can
be
looking
at
instead
of
hiring
additional
growth
officers,
we're
looking
at
outreach
into
the
community
and
seeing
how
we
can
provide
the
whether
it
be
the
police
or
it
be
the
police
supporting
some
other
external
independent
group.
H
We
could
be
supporting
what
I
think
we
all
acknowledge
is
critically
required,
which
is
mental
health.
Outreach
crisis
response
things
things
that
that
I
think
have
been
clearly
identified
as
as
really
not
what
the
police
are
best
trained
to
do.
So
I
think
that's
a
fundamental
direction
that
that
I
hope
we
are
embracing
and
with
respect
to
councillor
king's
comment,
I
was
planning
on
putting
a
motion
forward
that
we
look
at
a
freeze
for
the
2022
budget,
and
my
thought
would
be
that.
H
I
know
that
con
that
ciel
eternal
has
talked
about
a
pressure,
but
once
again,
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
look
at
some
of
this
being
addressed
through
an
a
reduction
in
in
the
needs
for
new
hires.
So
we
remove
that
budget
pressure
and
looking
at
a
reallocation
of
resources
internally.
So
I
think
these
things
are
doable,
but
I
think
we
should
never
lose
sight
that
our
goal
should
be
community
safety
and
well-being
and
that
it's
what
we're
really
looking
for
is
an
absence
of
crime.
However,
we
can
best
direct
the
resources
to
achieve
that.
C
B
Thank
you
for
your
patience.
Remember
johnson,
chair.
Thank
you,
member
smallwood.
Thank
you
for
your
comments.
First
of
all,
let
me
just
recognize
your
comments
around
the
what's
commonly
known
as
a
cop
to
pop
stat.
Actually,
it's
actually
more
accurately
reflected
as
member
to
population
stat,
because
the
statistic
actually
is
calculated
by
the
total
number
of
members,
as
opposed
to
just
the
officers.
B
B
It
moves
us
from
a
reactive
model
to
a
more
proactive
model,
we're
in
partnership
with
community
and
working
in
community.
We
have
the
best
chance
to
improve
relationships
with
the
community
to
earn
the
trust
and
respect
of
the
community
and
as
I've
canvassed
within
the
community
and
as
a
canvas
within
the
police
service.
B
The
other
distinguishing
factor
is
that
almost
30
percent
of
the
crime
guns
that
have
been
seized
this
year
came
from
the
community,
calling
us
not
from
us
finding
those
crime
guns
the
trust
and
faith
in
the
community
that
they
should
be
part
of
a
co-production
of
public
safety.
They
should
have
the
confidence
to
call
the
police
and
expect
that
the
police
will
come
and
receive
these
dangerous
items,
remove
them
from
the
street.
B
It
is
a
combination
of
the
change,
significant
change
in
our
operating
model,
the
significant
change
in
the
deployment
of
our
particular
police
resources,
the
embedding
them
in
communities
where
they
have
enough
time
and
opportunity
to
earn
the
trust
of
the
community
and
to
engage
them
in
that
co-production,
partnering
role.
That
is
why
we're
seeing
such
substantially
different
operational
outcomes,
safety
outcomes,
community
safety
and
well-being
outcomes.
B
I
reference
this.
At
the
last
board
meeting,
we've
had
a
five-year
low
five-year
half-decade
low
for
shootings,
a
five-year
half-decade
low
for
homicides,
an
almost
100
percent
clearance
rate
of
the
homicides
that
we've
had
by
way
of
arrest,
which
includes
the
community's
support
in
achieving
those
arrests
of
those
violent
individuals
and
we've
had
a
five-year
high
in
terms
of
the
crime
guns
seized
through
a
combination
of
our
investigative
units,
our
frontline
neighborhood
resource
teams
and
front
line
officers,
as
well
as
the
community
themselves,
literally
in
equal
proportions.
B
K
Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
wanted
to
just
comment
about
the
nearly
hundred
people.
We
heard
speak
at
our
meeting
last
night
and
their
words
were
very
impactful
to
me
and
I've
thought
a
lot
about
it
today
and
I've
looked
through
my
eight
pages
of
notes.
I
took,
and
I
have
spoken
to
other
board
members
into
our
chair
and
you
know
to
choose
slowly
and
to
other
people,
and
we
were
all
it
has
impacted
us
all,
we're
all
thinking
about
it
and
your
words
matter
what
you
said.
K
Your
experiences
you
shared-
and
I
want
to
thank
you.
Thank
you
all
for
taking
the
time
to
do
that,
and
one
of
the
you
know,
ideas
that's
coming
discussion
today
is
that
the
board
would
really
like
to
with
the
support
of
a
mediator,
try
to
restore
our
relationship
with
the
community,
so
emotion
will
follow,
but,
but
I
thought
that
was
one
of
the
more
important
things
I
wanted
to
say
today.
K
K
K
B
B
Every
one
of
us,
like
you,
were
riveted
to
all
the
different
delegations,
all
of
them
as
well
as
the
many
many
many
other
consultations
that
took
place
across
this
city
of
a
million
people,
the
largest
municipality
in
canada,
over
the
course
of
the
full
year
since
the
last
budget
was
approved
and
we
are
committed
to
doing
the
best
we
can
with
the
people
that
have
come
forward
to
making
those
necessary
changes.
But
thank
you
for
raising
it
and
we
have
our
full
support.
The
board
has
our
full
support
to
move
this
forward.
B
B
G
Chief,
I
I
I
don't
actually
have
those
numbers
right
in
front
of
me.
I
can.
I
can
find
them
very,
very,
very
quickly.
I
apologize
in
term
but
in
terms
of
overall
in
terms
of
the
96
we're
talking
about
33,
female
35,
racialized
and
three
percent
indigenous.
I
can.
I
can
track
those
numbers
down
very
quickly
and
and
and
answer
them
shortly.
A
Thank
you,
chair
I'll,
make
this
brief.
I
wasn't
going
to
speak
tonight,
but
I
would
I
would
just
like
to
highlight
one
of
the
reasons
that
we,
I
think
we
as
a
police
board
work
as
hard
as
we
can
and
do
on.
These
issues
is
because
we
care
I'm.
I
can
only
speak
on
behalf
of
myself,
but
I
think
we
live
in
a
wonderful
community
and
the
police
are
needed.
A
That
said,
we
recognize
that
things
have
to
change.
That's
one
of
the
reasons
that
we've
undertaken
the
task
and
we've
taken
this
budget
very
seriously,
but
as
as
a
member,
I
am
heartened
by
the
fact
that
we
are
addressing
many
of
the
changes
that
I
certainly
thought
needed
to
be
addressed.
When
I
joined
the
board
there
were,
I
felt
there.
We
were
doing
some
things
not
right
and-
and
I'm
so
pleased
that
she
slowly
has
initiated
so
many
things
that
I
think
are
going
to
make
a
difference
in
our
city.
A
I
would
love
to
see
traffic
maybe
dealt
with
with
a
specialized
force
that
are
not
uniformed
officers,
but
that
again
is
in
the
provincial
purview,
but
it
is
an
idea
that
we
have
been
discussing
and
trying
to
see
if
we
can
change
so
we're
dealing
with
all
kinds
of
ideas
and
different
solutions
to
what
we
think
is
a
burden
on
on
the
police
budget,
we're
trying
to
bring
it
down.
So
I
would
hope
that
people
recognize
that
what
we're
doing
here
today
is
not
easy.
A
We
recognize
that
change
is
necessary,
we're
taking
the
steps
but
to
just
throw
this
budget
out
when
so
many
good
things
are
in
it.
We're
going
to
be
bringing
amendments
today
to
maybe
to
make
some
changes
to
to
what
we're
going
to
be
doing,
but
I
would
just
ask
people
to
please
be
patient
with
us.
I
believe
we're
really
on
the
right
track,
but
we
hear
people
we
hear
you.
A
A
A
We
have
a
good
force.
We
have
a
lot
of
good
people
in
that
police
force
here,
let's
say
force,
but
the
police
service
here,
and
they
need
our
support
too.
We're
trying
to
support
the
community
and
the
police
force.
The
police
service
is
trying
to
come
to
convince
to
support
us
as
well.
I'm
sorry
really
emotional
right
now,
but
there's
a
lot
of
things
going
on
in
the
city.
That's
making
it
very
challenging
it's
a
challenging
time
for
everyone,
and
I
just
hope
that
we
can
get
each
other's
backs
here.
A
We're
in
this
together
we're
in
a
challenging
difficult
tense
time
and
we're
not
going
to
achieve
anything
if
we
continue
to
fight
with
each
other,
we're
listening,
I'm
listening.
I
know
what
I
do
wrong.
I
admit
when
I
make
mistakes,
but
joining
this
police
board
has
not
been
a
mistake
and
I'm
glad
and
proud
to
be
part
of
it
and
whatever
happens
here
tonight,
know
that
we
will
continue
to
work
on
your
behalf.
So
thank
you.
C
B
It
was
actually
we're
still
getting
that
final
set
of
responses
from
member
johnson,
but
I
I
do
want
to
echo
councillor
means
comments.
You
know
when,
when
you
unpack
a
lot
of
what
we
have
heard
along
the
way
in
this
difficult
year
and
in
this
difficult
budget
process,
there's
more
common
ground,
it
sometimes
feels
like
we're
choosing
a
battleground
when
we
actually
have
common
ground.
So
I'll,
just
echo
those
comments.
G
G
B
K
Okay,
okay
and
thank
you
jeff
that
does
answer
my
question
and
I
think
there
is
value
to
the
diversity,
the
equity
and,
I
think,
on
its
own.
It
will
bring
change,
so
I
I
that
gives
me
sort
of
maybe
hope's,
not
quite
the
right
word.
Oh
well
hope
for
more
change,
actually
yeah!
So
that's
fantastic!
Thank
you
that
answers
my
question.
C
F
F
F
My
daughter
saw
me
struggling
with
the
decisions
that
were
that
were
faced
with
and
she
came
in
and
gave
me
a
kiss
and
said
I
love
you,
daddy,
we're
all
a
family
here,
there's
a
lot
of
emotions
and
passion.
It's
truly
humbling
to
see
how
passionate
members
of
the
public
have
been
fighting
for
what
they
believe
in
the
courage.
They
have
to
speak
their
truths
and
their
experience,
no
matter
how
difficult
it
was
for
them
tells
me
how
strong
they
really
are.
F
F
F
I
know,
because
of
all
the
hurt
that
is
burning
inside
you,
it's
hard
to
think
that
the
board
and
the
ops
have
your
best
interest
in
mind,
but
I
want
to
say
that
everyone
is
really
trying.
I
consider
our
city,
one
family
and
just
like
look
just
like
how
I
fight
with
my
siblings,
our
citywide
family
fights.
F
F
F
This
was
the
first
step
in
achieving
the
change
that
is
sought
after
chief,
I
know
you
are
dealing
with
many
issues
and
I
know
you
are
giving
it
all
giving
it
your
all,
just
as
the
community
is
dealing
with
many
issues
and
they
are
giving
it
their
all.
I
am
asking
you
and
all
members
of
the
ops
to
give
a
little
more
to
address
the
many
issues
that
so
passionately
have
been
discussed.
F
E
Thank
you
chair.
I
will
be
brief
and
I
would
like
to
echo
what
member
meehan
and
member
suiter
has
recently
said.
I
want
to
assure
all
the
members
of
the
community
the
service
that
we
are
here
to
work
collectively
for
common
goal
and
not
against
each
other.
I
can
assure
and
sphere
that
we
are
listening
and
doing
whatever
is
constructive
for
the
community
for
our
service
members
and
all
the
stakeholders,
thanks
to
all
the
members
of
the
community,
the
service
for
your
immense
support
and
keeping
us
all
under
check.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
E
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
chair
deans,
I'd
like
to
associate
my
comments
with
those
that
have
been
made,
especially
concerning
the
number
of
delegates
who
came
out
yesterday.
We
did
hear
from
from
them
and
we
did
a
feel
of
their
pain
as
a
new
member
of
the
police
board.
It
is
my
intention
to
work
to
improve
the
strategic
direction
of
the
police
service
and
I
opted
to
join
this
board
of
the
mirror.
J
The
service
has
also
committed
to
work
towards
the
transformation
of
emergency
mental
health
crisis
response
through
an
independent
consultative
process
that
would
be
inclusive
of
community
and
social
services.
Organizations,
equity,
diversity
and
inclusion
is
key
to
modernizing
this
police
service
and
it's
the
central
theme
driving
this
budget,
and
I
would
acknowledge
the
the
work
that
the
staff
has
done
to
to
to
make
that
happen
and
the
work
that
chi
slowly
has
done
to
make
that
happen
and,
and
obviously
this
this
is
important.
J
J
In
order
to
achieve
overarching
and
realistic
changes,
the
police
service
will
require
not
just
the
appropriate
financial
resources
to
undertake
modernization,
but
underlying
support
from
the
racialized
communities
that
will
be
the
ultimate
beneficiaries
of
that
work.
It
will
be
impossible
to
address
systemic
issues
that
exist
within
the
police
service.
If
there
is
that
trust,
I
supported
the
budget
direction
at
council
because
of
a
need
to
reimagine
the
role
of
the
police,
which
includes
a
sustained
commitment
to
equity.
C
C
C
Okay,
so
I
want
to
talk
about
that
motion
a
little
bit,
because
yesterday
I
introduced
a
motion
that
would
effectively
ask
the
instead
of
going
ahead
with
the
new
hires
to
come
back
and
to
this
board
and
provide
a
change
that
would
look
at
a
hiring
other
than
just
foreign
officers,
but
a
selection
of
maybe
mental
health
workers
or
youth
workers
or
whatever,
in
consultation
with
the
community.
That
seemed
appropriate.
C
But
I
heard
an
answer
from
chief
slowly
that
kind
of
confused
me
a
little
bit
because
you
seem
to
enumerate
how
all
of
those
30
sworn
officers
would
be
deployed
into
the
organization
and
I'm
I'm
not
seeing
it.
I
think
my
colleagues
aren't
exactly
seeing
that
that's
what
we
would
do
with
those
30
sworn
officers
that
in
fact
they
might
not
be
30
sworn
officers.
So
can
you
just
clarify
for
this
board
if,
if
you're
saying,
if,
if
this
motion
that
I
put
yesterday
didn't
pass,
that's
what
you
would
do
with
the
money?
C
B
C
It's
adopted
it's
too
late,
I
mean
we
can
go
through,
there's
a
number
of
motions.
We
can
take
them
one
by
one,
but
counselor
king
raised
this
as
sort
of
a
pivotal
piece
for
him
in
supporting
the
budget,
and
I
think
it's
pivotal
to
all
of
these
board
members
who
see
have
heard
loud
and
clear
the
calls
for
change
and
want
to
demonstrate
the
commencement
of
that
change
process
through
not
just
hiring
new
sworn
recruits.
C
B
I'd
be
willing
to
examine
what's
in
that
motion,
yes,
that
we
would
look
at
ways
instead
of
just
going
with
officers
looking
at
combination
of
officers
and
civilians
and
even
within
civilians.
I
know
remember
me
and
talked
about
different
models
that
are
used
in
different
jurisdictions
where
non-police
officers,
in
this
case
special
constables,
be
used
in
traffic
enforcement
as
they
do
in
the
province
of
alberta,
for
pay
duty
and
and
public
order.
J
I
am
raising
my
hand
if,
if
you
permit
me,
I
would
also
be
curious-
and
I
don't
know
if
this
is
the
right
time
to
speak
to
this,
but
in
terms
of
the
motions,
the
the
costing
of
the
motions
and
asking
mr
letourneau
whether
these
motions
could
be
accommodated
in
terms
of
the
dollar
amounts.
If
we
were
to
constrain
the
growth
just
to
our
statutory
operations.
G
G
C
E
C
G
C
B
Here
I'll,
just
it's
it's
an
important
question.
You're
asking.
I
understand
that
without
understanding
what
the
design
will
be,
what
the
process
of
implementation
and
evaluation
would
be
and
again
we're
doing
our
best
to
not
not
sketch
that
out
and
lead
that
out
we're
trying
to
let
the
community
and
the
mental
health
community
in
particular
lead
that
out.
So
could
we
anticipate
after
after
some
portion
of
next
year,
an
implementation
that
starts
to
see
demand
shift
that
there
could
be
a
reduction
in
cost?
B
C
C
The
motion
that
we
did
to
the
province
asking
to
be
able
to
dismiss
people
for
egregious
crimes
that
are
still
on
the
payroll
of
police.
Through
the
review,
the
board
is
doing
on
the
workplace
on
the
use
of
force,
dynamic
entry
review.
All
of
those
things
I
think
are
adding
up
to
hopefully
an
indication
that
we
want
change.
We
don't
want
to
do
business
as
usual.
C
We
recognize
that
we
need
to
move
a
long
way
and
I
think
every
member
of
this
board
is
dedicated
to
doing
that,
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
signal
is
even
if
we're
not
getting
as
far
as
fast
this
year
as
the
passion
voices
we
heard
yesterday
want
us
to
move,
but
we
still
want
to
go
there
and
we
want
to
get
there
too,
and
so,
and
I
think
we
want
to
push
the
envelope
and
we
want
to
push
hard.
We
we
don't
want
to
do
business
as
usual
anymore.
C
We
want
to
push
hard
to
change
the
way,
we're
doing
policing
and
to
make
it
better,
and
we
recognize
that
a
lot
of
upstream
issues
are
causing
downstream
costs,
expensive
costs
in
policing
and
a
place
response
is
not
it's,
it's
a
latent
process
response
and
it's
reactive,
not
proactive,
and
we
want
to
get
to
a
more
proactive
place
as
a
community.
So
we
recognize
that
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done.
It
goes
way
beyond
this
board.
It
goes
into
our
funding
for
mental
health
and
addictions
or
funding
for
housing.
C
A
lot
of
other
things
lifting
up
communities
in
need
all
of
those
things.
I
think
the
province
needs
to
be
much
more
engaged
in
mental
health
strategy
than
they
have
in
the
past.
I
mean,
I
think
this
started
20
years
ago,
when
the
province
made
changes
to
their
mental
health
and
put
a
lot
of
people
suffering
from
mental
health
and
addictions.
Issues
on
the
street
and
we've
never
really
recovered
as
a
community
from
that.
C
So
I
think
what
we're
saying
is
we
want
to
get
on
with
this,
and
we
want
to
signal
that
we
want
to
get
on
with
this,
and
what
we
do
tonight
is
a
start
for
what
is
coming
in
the
months
ahead,
and
we
recognize
I
mean.
I
recognize
that
getting
to
the
budget
day
or
the
day
before
budget
is
not
when
we
can
make
that
change.
We
have
to
start
the
day
after
we
pass
this
budget
looking
to
next
year's
budget
and
how
we're
going
to
get
there
and
how
we're
going
to
make
that
difference.
C
That's
the
time
that
it
takes
it's
not
the
the
day
before
you
pass
a
budget
that
you
can
make
these
wholesale
changes.
We
have
to
work
at
that
and
I
think
we
want
to
signal
loud
and
clear
to
you
that
that's
where
this
board
wants
to
take
this
community
and
so
and
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
get
there.
So
I
think
we're
going
to
turn
to
the
motions.
B
The
questions
were
designed
to
explore
my
vision
for
change
my
resilience
and
ability
to
drive
that
change
my
commitment
to
making
a
commitment
to
this
city,
this
community,
not
just
a
personal
professional
commitment,
but
a
family
commitment.
I
gave
you
that
commitment.
I
started
working
on
change
from
the
day
that
you
offered
me
a
contract.
B
We
have
been
working
hard
to
prepare
this
organization,
not
just
to
move
forward
under
our
own
initiative,
but
to
move
forward
through
the
community
safety
and
well-being
through
a
broader
set
of
partnerships
that
our
neighborhood
response
teams
and
crime
prevention
officers
will
be
able
to
form.
There
have
been
other
changes
at
the
city.
There's
a
new
head
of
our
oc
ottawa
district
carlton
school
board,
we're
having
substantive
conversations
with
my
colleagues
of
public
sector
leaders,
dr
vera
etches.
B
So
this
is
a
change
that
we've
been
preparing
for
within
the
police
service
with
our
partners
with
other
leaders
in
civil
society.
This
budget
will
allow
for
greater
change,
deeper
change,
broader
change,
more
integrated
change,
but
I
share
your
fierce
urgency
of
now.
I
want
it
all
done
yesterday.
I'm
a
realist
though,
and
I've
been
in
this
business
for
a
long
time.
It
won't
happen
yesterday.
B
A
lot
will
happen
over
the
next
year.
The
budget
will
enable
it
to
happen
to
a
greater
degree,
quite
frankly,
the
hard
work
and
dedicated
work
of
compassionate
men
and
women
in
this
police
service
and
their
similar
desire
for
a
better
police
service,
a
better
working
environment,
a
safer
city,
a
healthier
career.
It
is
driving
them
to
work
with
me
and
my
command
team.
We
have
made
real
change.
We
will
make
more
real
change
and
we'll
do
it
best
with
the
board
and
with
the
community
support
we're
absolutely
committed
to
that.
C
J
C
C
C
C
It
further
resolved
that
the
ops
work
in
consultation
with
key
community
partners
to
determine
where
and
how
these
individuals
could
be
deployed
to
best
serve
the
community
and
therefore
be
further
resolved
that
the
ops
report
back
to
the
board,
with
a
final
plan
on
how
they
will
leverage
civilian
members
to
further
support
community
policing
prior
to
issuing
any
offers
of
employment
and
member
johnson
has
her
hand
up.
So
member
johnson.
K
Thank
you
thank
you
and
sandy,
and
I
have
a
friendly
amendment
for
that.
I'm
sorry.
If
there's
background
noise,
I'm
having
some
computer
problems
here
in
canada,
so
I've
got
two
devices
on.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
we
can
yep
okay,
so
it's
to
the
last.
Therefore,
so
our
friendly
amendment
is
therefore
it
further
resolved
that
the
obs
in
consultation
with
the
ottawa
police
service
board
and
that's
really
to
follow
the
next
motion
about
the
restorative
mediation.
H
B
C
J
C
K
K
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
member
johnson.
I
think
it's
a
very,
very
well
motion,
but
what
will
be
the?
I
am
just
curious
to
know
once
we
hire
that
what
will
be
the
budgetary
provisions,
the
limitations
for
hiring
that
third
and
what
will
be
the
mandate
of
this
all
those
issues
have.
Can
you
just
enlighten
broadly.
C
C
So
we
just
passed
a
motion
that
gave
the
board
an
extra
150
000
for
the
change
in
the
scope
of
work
that
we're
going
to
do.
I'm
going
to
make
the
assumption
that,
within
that
new
budget
envelope
that
we
have,
we
can
accommodate
this,
and
if
we
can't
we
will
come
back
mid-year
and
ask
for
some
extra
funds
from
the
service.
But
I
think
we
can
accommodate
it
for
now.
C
C
C
G
G
H
H
So
I
can
give
you
a
motion
to
that
effect.
If
that
would
help,
whereas
the
ottawa
police
services
board
heard
from
close
to
100
delegates
at
their
meeting
of
november
23rd,
and
whereas,
though
many
of
those
who
participated,
spoke
to
a
desire
to
see
the
ottawa
police
budget
either
frozen
or
reduced,
whereas
the
board
is
determined
to
bring
meaningful
change
to
the
ottawa
police
services
and
ensuring
that
it
reflects
the
community
that
it
serves.
H
C
Thank
you
and
I
I
do
believe
that
the
time
to
start
working
on
significant
change
budget
is
now
so
I
think
this
is
the
appropriate
time
to
signal
that
that
is
the
direction
we
would
like
to
take
the
police
service,
and
so
I
think
it's
appropriate
that
we
carry
this
motion.
So
can
we
carry
that
motion.
