I'm
starting
a
twitter
war,
so,
let's
get
through
this
committee
right
decorations
of
interest.
I
was
going
to
ask
about
former
counselors
who
still
refer
to
themselves
as
counselors
we're
in
the
in
the
weeds,
I'm
muting
for
the
record.
I
set
up,
doug
thompson's
twitter
account
and
it
hasn't
changed
since
I
set
it
up
so
just
so
decorations
of
interest.

Responding
to
a
recommendation
by
the
auditor
general
as
part
of
the
2018
review
of
the
source
separated
organics
business
case,
which
informed
the
enhanced
program
approved
by
council
in
march
2018
and
launched
in
july.

helps
our
smaller
neighboring
municipality
to
keep
organic
waste
out
of
the
landfill
and
reduce
their
waste
disposal
costs
alliance
with
strategic
direction
and
future.
E
Following
this
audit
staff
undertook
a
program
review
as
part
of
an
effort
to
resolve
the
outstanding
disputes
to
be
fair
to
both
parties
and
to
see
how
the
contract
could
be
amendment
to
address
the
deficiencies
identified
by
the
auditor
general
while
serving
the
needs
of
the
city's
program.
This
program
review
resulted
in
the
sso
program
update,
which.
B
In
june
2018,
the
oag
tabled
its
review
of
sso
business
case,
which
ultimately
informed
the
recommended
approach
approved
by
council
in
march.
One
of
the
recommendations
from
the
review
was
that
the
city
monitor
the
tonnage
of
source,
separate
organics
versus
the
put
or
pay
limit
on
an
ongoing
basis
and
begin
changing
its
collection
and
processing
methods
for
leaf
and
yard
waste
when
cost
effective
to
do
so
before
getting
this
proposal
alliance,
this
proposal
that
we
are
presenting
to
you
today
aligns
with
this
recommendation.
E
B
Exceeding
the
minimum
annual
tonnage
guarantee
of
75
000
tons
can
be
attributed
to
new
material
being
allowed
into
the
grey
bin
potential
increases
in
program
participation
and
or
the
collection
of
leaf
and
yard
waste
continuing
to
make
its
way
in
the
sso
processing
stream
of
note,
we
have
increased
the
tonnage
of
leaf
and
yard
waste
sent
to
our
barnsdale
facility
during
the
same
period.
Almost
doubling
the
typical
annual
tonnage
with
over
9000
tons
collected
in.
C
G
G
Under
the
city's
amendment
agreement
with
convertus,
the
city
has
the
ability,
at
its
sole
option
and
discretion,
to
obtain
and
send
other
sso
material
to
convert
us
for
processing
with
the
tonnages
counted
towards
the
city.
Put
her
pay
threshold
in
may,
2020
staff
in
the
municipality
of
north
grenville
contacted
ottawa,
solid
waste
services
to
inform
them
that
they
had
issued
a
tender
for
their
waste
collection
contracts
and
two
of
the
three
options
tendered
included.
The
addition
of
source
separated
organics,
which
the
municipality
currently
does
not
offer.
G
North
grenville's
council
approved
the
establishment
of
their
own
municipal
source,
separator
organics
program
as
part
of
that
approval
staff
were
directed
to
continue
to
investigate
partnership
and
other
opportunities
to
address
processing
of
blue
box
materials
and
source.
Separate
organics
with
the
mutual.
B
Desire
to
partner
on
this
initiative,
ottawa,
solid
waste
services
staff
have
developed
a
framework
for
council's
review
and
consideration,
which
would
help
guide
negotiations
with
north
grenville.
The
framework
consists
of
mutually
desirable
terms
and
conditions,
as
well
as
requirements
based
on
the
existing.
G
C
And
60
cents,
a
ton
north
grenville
will
be
responsible
for
all
aspects
of
collection
and
transportation.
At
this
time,
it's
estimated
that
this
would
involve
two
trucks
per
day.
Making
a
single
trip
to
convertus
facility
on
hawthorne
road
accepted
materials
will
be
consistent
with
those
accepted
in
ottawa's
program
and
be
subject
to
change
based
on
ottawa's
program.
C
A
put
or
paid
threshold
would
be
considered
after
year,
one
to
allow
for
better
operational
planning
by
the
city.
At
this
time,
north
granville
expects
to
send
between
one
thousand
and
two
thousand
tons
of
organic
materials
per
year
for
contacts.
This
amount
of
material
is
equal
to
what
the
city
would
send
to
converters
each
week
for
processing
during
spring
and
fall
peak
periods
for
north
granville.
C
B
Despite
the
collections
contract
beginning
on
november
1st,
it's
the
city's
current
understanding
that
the
organics
collection
and
processing
would
likely
begin
in
2021
to
allow
sufficient
time
for
public
education
and
promotion
from
a
risk
mitigation.
Standpoint.
Staff
are
confident
that
this
proposed
arrangement
presents
minimal
risk
to
the
city
and
provides
a
number
of
mutual
benefits
that
will
be
touched
on
in
the
next
slide.
H
Between
the
city
and
convertus
are
included
as
part
of
this
agreement
with
north
grenville,
the
main
risk
to
this
agreement,
which
staff
have
deemed
as
extremely
low
and
already
identified
in
mitigation
strategy.
Four
is
the
requirement
to
frequently
and
continuously
monitor,
processing
tonnage
at
the
facility
to
ensure
ottawa
maintains
sufficient
future.
I
I
And
the
option
to
divert
leaf
and
yard
waste
that
is
currently
being
commigled.
It's
not
expected
that
this
risk
will
materialize
during
the
contract
term.
This
risk
would
apply
as
well
to
other
potential
future
agreements
with
nearby
municipalities
and
the
review
of
any
such
agreements
would
include
a
fulsome
analysis
of
forecasted
tonnages
between
the
date.
The
arrangement
would
come
into
effect
and
the
end
of
the
contract
term,
with
convertus
to
ensure
that
sufficient
processing
capacity
always
exist
to
meet
ottawa
anticipated
processing
needs
next
slide.
Please.
I
If
approved
by
council,
it
is
expected
that
this
arrangement
would
provide
a
number
of
mutual
benefits
to
both
parties.
These
benefits
include
for
the
city
of
ottawa
financial
savings
between
80
000
to
160
000
annually,
through
the
diversion
of
more
leaf
and
yard
materials
from
converters
to
trail
roads,
barnsdale
facility.
I
B
B
There
are
no
anticipated
impacts
on
the
trail
road
facility,
as
the
residuals
from
convertus
are
currently
taken
to
another
another
landfill
and
not
trail
road
for
north
grenville.
There
is
an
estimated
savings
of
approximately
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
annually
from
diverting
the
organic
material
from
a
landfill
to
a
source
separated
organics
program
by
diverting
organics
from
the
landfill
would
will
result
in
a
reduction
of
landfill
gas
emissions.
B
In
march
2019,
a
survey
was
released
in
north
grenville
and
61
of
the
residents
surveyed
indicated
a
desire
to
establish
and
participate
in
an
organics
program
by
entering
into
into
an
agreement.
It
supports
both
the
city
and
the
municipality
of
north
grenville,
aligning
with
the
provincial
priority
of
keeping
food
and
organic
waste
out
of
the
disposal
stream.
B
It
is
for
these
reasons
that
staff
are
very
excited
about
this
opportunity
to
help
our
neighboring
municipality
and
potentially
other
nearby
municipalities
in
the
near
future,
while
continuing
to
deliver
a
high-quality,
value-focused
diversion
program
for
the
residents
of
ottawa.
This
concludes
our
presentation
this
morning
and
would
be
pleased
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
at
this
time.
I
C
To
discuss
this
potential
partnership,
I
think
personally,
I
think
it's
it's
a
positive
step.
It's
it
shows
that
this
type
of
initiative
doesn't
just
happen
within
municipal
boundaries
and
that's
there
are
opportunities
to
work
with
with
our
partners
on
a
on
a
common
goal,
and
certainly
north
granville
is
one
of
our
our
our
good
neighbors.
So
it's
it's
nice
to
be
able
to
try
to
do
something
with
them,
and
I
appreciate
the
effort
that
staff
have
made
to
work
with
north
granville
and
to
bring
this
forward
today.
C
Thank
you,
chair.
The
municipality
of
north
granville
reached
out
to
us
in
order
to
explore
what
might
be
possible
back
in
may
and
you're
right
that
the
second
recommendation
of
this
report
is
is
calling
for
delegated
authority
to
be
provided
to
both
the
gm
of
public
works,
environmental
services
and
the
city
solicitor
in
order
for
us
to,
if,
if
others
reach
out
to
us,
depending
on
our
current
capacities
at
convertus,
to
be
entering
to
a
similar
type
of
an
arrangement
and
agreement.
C
Thank
you
very
much,
counselor
coutier.
Yes,
mr
president,
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you.
Shelley.
For
for
the
presentation,
north
grenville
is
not
obligated
to
run
a
source
separated
organics
program.
Are
they
they're
under
a
certain
level
of
population
chair?
That
is
correct,
so
the
the
current
policy
statement
indicates
that
municipalities
or
cities
larger
than
50
000
residents,
are
required
to
enter
into
a
source
separator
organics
program.
Currently
north
grenville
is
under
that
threshold.
J
K
Sending
our
our
organics
to
convert
us-
okay,
the
and
the
only
benefit
that
not
only
not
the
benefit
to
the
city
is
that
we
would
save
80
to
100
000
dollars
per
year
and
that
savings
is
by
being
able
to
divert
some
leaf
and
yard
waste
that
is
currently
part
of
the
75
000
ton
put
or
pay
limit.
We
could
divert
that
to
another
facility.
K
K
Currently
so,
based
on,
based
on
our
analysis,
we
think
approximately
45
percent
of
that
tonnage
that
goes
to
convertus
is
leaf
and
yard
materials.
Okay,
great.
So
the
the
more
that
we
can
divert
that
to
the
other
facility
and
process
it
at
a
lesser
cost,
the
the
better
advantage
to
the
city,
great
the
the
cost
of
126
per
ton.
K
K
Chair
great
question:
so
cpi
is
applied
every
year,
and
so
we
work
closely
with
our
colleagues
in
in
procurement
in
order
to
to
validate
that
amount,
and
then
that
amount
then
is
applied
to
our
rate.
Moving
forward
and
okay
and
just
my
last
question:
that's
subject
to
consumer
price
index
benchmarking,
not
their
cost
of
not
convertus
is
cost
of
processing.
It
is
a
cpi
increase.
Is
that
correct?
K
K
Thank
you
so
much.
I
appreciate
it
when
you
call
me,
mr
president,
it
feeds
my
massive
ego,
so
counselor
menard
thanks
very
much
chair
thanks
to
staff
for
the
report.
I
support
the
recommendations
in
the
report.
It's
a
few
questions
about
it.
It's
it's
indicating
that
the
current
capacity
of
the
convertis
plant
is
is
100
000
tons
per
year,
and
last
year
we
delivered
around
82
000
tons.
K
That's
on
page
seven
of
the
staff
report-
and
that's
where
I
really
want
to
question
is-
is
how
many
other
municipalities
in
eastern
ontario
may
feel
like
they
want
to
expand
their
own,
their
own
programs
and
possibly
utilize
ottawa.
It
could
be
approach
for
that
and
what
protections
will
be
built
into?
You
know
the
contract
to
make
sure
that
you
know,
as
north
grenville
and
potentially
other
partners
come
on
board.
K
Our
own
sso
takes
precedence.
If
we're
going
to
be
exceeding
the
100
000
tons
per
year
capacity
of
the
plant,
I
don't
anticipate.
We
will
obviously
with
this
it's
a
small
amount
comparatively,
but
as
we
get
more
to
the
length
to
to
convert
us
and
potentially
other
partners
come
on
board,
that
could
become
an
issue.
So
I
just
wanted
to
hear
staff's
response
on
that
chair.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
So
at
this
at
this
time
there
has
been
one
other
municipality
reached
out
to
us
inquiring.
K
No
explicit
proposal,
no
explicit
interest
was
shared,
we're
not
intending
to
to
solicit,
but
basically
by
by
having
a
council's
approval.
With
with
the
second
recommendation,
it
certainly
provides
the
opportunity
to
explore
if
people
do
reach
out
to
us.
As
mentioned
in
the
presentation,
we
are
continuously
monitoring
our
tonnage
in
order
to
make
sure
that
we
are
able
to
meet
today
and
into
the
future
that
the
citizens
of
ottawa
needs
and
as
we
we
craft,
the
agreement
we'll
ensure
that
there
is
appropriate.
K
Thank
you
yeah.
I
think
I
think
it's
important.
I
know
when,
when
staff
spoke
to
me
that
that
north
grenville
was
also
aware
of
our
our
situation
with
the
contract
and
where
that
contract
ends
and
that
we
would
have
potentially
partners
going
forward
as
well
when
it
comes
to
the
post
2030,
you
know
horizon
when
it
comes
when
we
look
at
where
do
we
go
with
our
organics
and
that
we'd
actually
be
potentially
looking
at
that
together?
K
Mckinney,
thank
you,
chair
honorable,
chair
how's,
that
it's
fantastic,
it's
fair,
I'm
trying
to
outdo
you.
You
have
one
painting
behind
you.
I
I
have
two
thank
you
for
this
shelly.
You
know
I
obviously
support
the
recommendation
in
front
of
us.
I
think
it's.
It
is
a
win-win,
certainly
diverting
waste,
no
matter
where
it
is.
It's
is
positive.
I
just
had
a
couple
of
questions
now
that
we
have
the
opportunity.
It's
have
the
discussion
around
our
organic
diversion.
K
K
K
So
so
far
this
year
we've
sent
about
4,
700,
tons
of
leaf
and
yard
materials
to
barnsdale,
and,
as
I
mentioned
last
year,
we
sent
over
9
000
tons
to
barnsdale.
So
the
desire
as
we're
getting
ready
for
this
fall
is
to
try
to
reach
the
capacity
of
our
barnsdale
facility,
which
is
15
to
17
000
tons.
So
we're
working
closely
in
order
to
see
about
diverting
more
of
that
leaf
and
yard
material
to
barnsdale
for
the
for
our
composting
facility
there.
K
J
K
So
chair
as
part
of
the
the
phase,
two
solid
waste
master
plan
report,
which
is
coming
soon,
we
will
be
reporting
on
on
the
the
performance
of
the
enhanced
green
bin
program
with
the
introduction
of
allowing
plastics
as
as
well
as
as
dog
and
and
dog
waste,
so
that
will
be
specifically
spoken
to
as
part
of
the
phase.
Two
report:
okay.
Okay,
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you
very
much
councillor
derus.
Thank
you
chair.
I
know
I
had
the
same
concern.
Councillor
mckenzie
just
asked
the
question,
and
I'm
I
hear
you
shelley
we're
looking
forward
to
get
that
report
to
see
the
enhanced
program,
how
it's
pro,
how
it's
performing-
and
I
want
to
add
my
comment
also
to
the
chair-
that
I'm
very
happy
and
welcoming
this
agreement.
K
I
know
that
it's
always
good
to
help
our
small
municipality
around
us,
our
neighboring
and
also
if
we
can
help
them
keeping
those
waste
and
those
stuff
out
of
their
out
of
their
place
where
they
throw
their
garbage,
which
is
to
help
their
landfill.
That
will
be
great
and
welcoming
by
us.
So
thanks,
mr
chair
and
thanks
staff
for
a
great
job.
K
K
There's
environmental
savings
and
environmental
reasons
why
this
is
a
good
deal,
and
I
think
that
if
there
are
opportunities
to
as
staff
talk
to
our
neighboring
staff
to
say,
hey,
you
know
we're
open
to
future
possibilities
here.
If
you
don't
have
an
organics
program
that
this
is
something
we
could
have
a
conversation
over
to.
Let
our
staff
know
that
we
are
supportive
of
those
conversations.
K
So
chair,
currently
north
granville
doesn't
have
a
source
separated
organics
program,
so
all
of
their
materials
that
are
collected
at
curbside
are
going
to
landfill
right.
Okay,
very
well!
So
this
is
certainly
good
news
in
that
regard,
and
are
you
aware
of
again
through
the
chair,
any
provincial
push
to
encourage
smaller
municipalities
to
talk
with
larger
municipalities
to
do
exactly
what
we've
done
here
chair?
K
No,
I'm
not
aware
at
this
time,
and
certainly
I
I
I
welcome
you
as
chair
of
amo,
to
possibly
see
some
of
those
opportunities
moving
forward
yeah.
I
certainly
think
there's
an
opportunity
for
the
province
to
give
some
seed
money
to
encourage
folks
to
have
those
conversations.
But
I've
certainly
noted
your
suggestion
and
would
be
happy
to
raise
that
edema
thanks
sure.
K
C
We
know
what
the
city
went
through
to
enter
into
a
an
organics
program
and
had
that
how
long
that
took
and
we're
a
city
now
of
a
million
people,
it's
it's
not.
I
know
that
other
municipalities
have
reached
out
in
the
past
to
try
to
because
they've
been
trying
to
get
solutions
to
waste
processing
their
municipalities,
but
they
need
a
big
partner
themselves,
which
means
they
actually
want
our
garbage
so
that
they
can
do
something
in
their
municipality.
C
So
it's
it
is.
It
is
something
that
that
is
important
and
small
municipalities
will
need
to
have
good
partners
in
order
to
find
successes
on
this
on
this
file.
Counselor
cavanaugh
thanks
for
joining
us
today.
Oh
thank
you,
I'm
a
little
late
to
the
party.
I
was
just
out
of
breakfast,
but
always
one
of
my
favorite
topics
here.
I
appreciate
the
report
on
the
on
this.
G
G
Is
there
anything
that
we,
as
counselors
can
do
to
encourage
people?
Is
that
something
that
we
should
be
working
on
chair
as
part
of
the
enhanced
program
there
was.
There
was
quite
a
communication
campaign
that
was
launched
last
year
with
with
the
onset
of
covet.
Certainly,
there
have
been
lots
of
messaging
when
it
comes
to
to
waste
collection
that
had
been
put
out
there
as
we
explore
how
we're
wanting
to
plan
for
fall.
Certainly,
we
would.
E
H
J
Well,
personally,
I
would
be
happy
to,
and
I'm
sure
my
colleagues
would
agree,
especially
because
we
can
talk
about
not
just
the
environmental
impact,
but
it's
it's
cost
saving
in
the
long
term
as
well,
and
I
think
that
it's
it's
good
to
give
that
information
out.
So
I'd
love
to
work
with
you
on
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
J
Thank
you
and
counselor
king
thank
you
jumped
on
the
list
and
thank
you
shelley
for
the
excellent
presentation
and
even
the
pre-consultation,
the
the
information
that
you
provided
my
office
before
this
meeting
has
been
very
helpful.
One
of
the
questions
I
had
was,
I
know
that
you
know
staff
is
indicating
that
they
are
not
going
out
and
and
undertaking
outreach
to
municipalities
to
participate
in
in
this
program.
G
Pursue
obviously
you
know
I'd
acknowledge
that
the
city
has
to
obviously
take
care
of
its
own
programs
and
its
own
requirements,
but
I
was
just
wondering
if
that
is
something
that
we
are
looking
at
and
I
guess
a
question
that's
linked
to
that
as
well
is.
This
is
obviously
a
two
percent
increase
in
the
amount
of
tonnage
that
is
collected.
Is
there
an
internal
number
for
external
groups
that
might
that
we
might
be
working
with
external
municipalities?
G
So
so,
chair
great
question
the
when,
when
we're
taking
a
look
at
the
numbers,
since
2015
we've
seen
the
the
program
grow
and
once
we
have
some
better
insight
from
the
participation
studies
as
well
as
the
folsom
audit,
we
will
probably
have
better
intel
in
order
to
know
more
definitively
what
that
possible
ceiling.
Percentage
might
be
at
this
time.
K
K
K
K
You
know
we're
we're
a
massive
city
amidst
a
bunch
of
small
municipalities
and
often
often
we're
seen
as
the
the
big
bad
city,
and
I
think
would
be
interesting
to
see
how
that
conversation
would
go
if
if
it
was
going
the
other
way-
and
it
was
us
engaging
in
us
advocating
to
smartest
parties
to
come,
do
something
with
us-
I'm
not
sure
it
would
be.
I'm
not
necessarily
sure
it'd
be
received
the
same
way
as
when
north
grenville
comes
to
us,
just
a
just
a
just
a
thought.
K
So
I
see
nothing
else
on
this.
So
again,
thanks
to
staff
for
their
effort
on
this,
and
thank
you,
I
should
say
thanks
to
north
grenville
as
well,
for
their
efforts-
and
I
know
their
council
for
taking
a
step
in
this
direction
and
to
to
work
with
the
city
and
to
to
advocate
for
this
on
behalf
of
their
municipality.
G
K
G
K
Delegate
authority
to
the
general
manager
of
public
works
and
environmental
services
in
consultation
with
the
city
solicitor
to
negotiate
finalize
and
execute
contracts
with
other
potential
partners
where
the
terms
and
conditions
are
consistent
with
the
proposed
agreement
framework,
as
detailed
in
this
report.
So
is
that
item
carried
gary?
G
I
I
J
Of
that
recommendation,
following
walkerton
a
series
of
regulations,
fairly
comprehensive
ones,
were
released
in
ontario
under
the
safe
drinking
water
act
which,
notably
for
counselors,
includes
a
standard
of
care
provision
that
it
is
your
duty
as
the
owners
of
our
water
system
to
be
informed,
to
be
aware
of
any
shortcomings
or
challenges
within
those
systems
and
to
be
vigilant.
Providing
oversight
and
direction
to
staff,
and
our
report
today
is
is
part
of
fulfilling
that
duty.
J
J
Our
quality
management
system-
it's
similar
to
you,
you've,
probably
heard
of
iso
9000
and
similar
systems.
It's
a
very
comprehensive
framework
that
governs
everything
to
do
with
safe
drinking
water.
There's
21
elements,
every
aspect
of
operation,
monitoring,
maintenance
staff,
as
well
as
continual
improvement,
is
covered
in
in
the
quality
management
system,
and
I
would
say
it's
a.
It
requires
a
lot
of
work
from
staff.
I
can
say
that
personally,
but
we
feel
good
having
the
framework.
J
J
J
We
meet
for
about
four
days
reviewing
the
contents
of
the
report,
but
it's
a
very
important
part
of
reflecting
on.
How
are
we
doing?
What
are
the
gaps?
Are
there
any
challenges
and
things
we
need
to
to
be
addressing,
but
I'll
give
you
the
short
version
today
we
report
not
we
report
up
to
a
senior
management
team
and
it's
that
report
that
we're
bringing
forward
to
you
today.
J
J
Just
to
remind
you,
we
have
eight
water
systems
that
we
operate
in
ottawa.
Ninety
percent
of
our
residents
get
their
water
from
the
central
supply.
You
can
see
the
two
plants
britannia
the
mew
island
who
draw
water
from
the
ottawa
river,
but
we
also
have
six
communal
well
systems
in
some
of
the
rural
areas
of
the
city,
and
in
that
case
we
provide
water
from
a
standalone,
well
system
and
we
have
a
new
one.
You
can
see.
We
gave
birth
to
richmond
west
wells
system
in
2019.
I
I
Now
this
graph
just
out
of
interest
last
year,
we
we
pumped
an
average
of
285
million
liters
of
water
per
day
into
the
city,
and
this
graph
shows
sort
of
the
trend
in
our
water
production.
Over
the
last
50
years,
you
can
see
a
gradual
incline
over
the
60s
and
70s
and
80s,
resulting
in
kind
of
a
flat
lining
during
the
90s.
J
I
A
Nitrate
levels
have
occurred
in
the
shadow
ridge
well
system.
Since
it
was
started.
You
can
see
over
the
first
10
years
a
gradual
increase
in
levels
of
nitrate,
but
in
the
last
few
years
it
has
lined
out
and
currently
is
sitting
around
3.5
milligrams
per
liter
of
nitrate,
which
is
well
within
the
safe
drinking
water
standard
of
10
milligrams
per
liter.
But
it's
still
a
concern
long
term
and
for
that
reason
deeper
wells
are
currently
in
development.
J
J
In
addition
to
all
the
audits
that
take
place,
we
get
inspected
every
year
by
the
ministry
of
environment,
it's
a
comprehensive
inspection
ever
since
walkerton
these
have
been
taking
place
so
each
of
our
systems.
It's
about
a
two-day
inspection,
reviewing
records,
interviewing
operators
looking
at
trends,
documents,
water
quality
data,
they
issue
a
report
and
the
report
includes
a
percentage
rating
and
you
can
see
that
we've
consistently.
A
J
A
J
Next
last
year,
you
I'm
sure
recall
that
there
was
pretty
severe
flooding
in
the
river.
This
graph
shows
you
know
over
the
year
from
january
to
december
that
the
dotted
black
line
is
sort
of
the
long-term
average
flow
that
the
ottawa
river
would
exhibit.
You
can
see
the
2019
battered
it
clearly
out
of
the
park,
so
we
had
unprecedented
flows.
You
know
three
two
to
three
times
higher
than
normal,
and
so
next
slide,
please
in
response.
A
J
Well
and
staff
stepped
up,
we
have
a
very
robust
treatment.
The
river
quality
was
not
a
challenge
at
all
for
the
plants
to
handle.
Maybe
next
slide
shows
a
picture.
This
is
inside
our
pump
house,
our
low
lift
pump
house
at
lemieux
island,
where
we
also
deployed
some
sandbagging
to
keep
any
flood
water
from
coming
into
the
treatment
basins
directly.
It
never
did
come
in,
but
we
wanted
to
be
to
be
sure
next
slide.
J
J
J
Also,
each
year
there
seem
to
be
new
concerns,
or
issues
raised.
Drinking
water
of
course
affects
our
health,
so
there's
always
new
studies
and
research
ottawa.
These
are
some
of
the
things
that
that
came
up
last
year
and
ottawa
always
prides
itself
in
being
ahead
of
the
curve.
So
in
each
one
of
these
substances
of
concern.
A
We've
already
been
monitoring
these
things
for
three
or
four
years,
and
none
of
them
posed
a
challenge
or
a
threat
to
the
safety
of
our
water
quality.
So
that's
something
that
we're
constantly
looking
for
any
emerging
issues
so
that
when
regulations
come
we're
prepared-
and
we
know
if
we
need
to
alter
treatment
or
adjust
our
operations.
A
J
A
large
amount
of
staff
effort,
but
we're
very
proud
of
our
water
system
in
ottawa
and
the
quality
of
our
water.
We
I'm
going
to
go
on
the
limb
and
say
that
we
are
known
quite
well
across
canada
as
one
of
the
leaders
in
drinking
water,
but
we
don't
rest
on
our
laurels
and
so
that
the
management
system
keeps
us
looking
inward
looking
to
see.
Are
there
any
gaps?
Are
there
any
concerns
or
issues
that
that
we
can
improve
on?
J
J
J
Thank
you
very
much,
ian
and
and
lisa
and
tammy
for
your
work,
appreciate
that
that
presentation
and
the
work
that
you
do.
I
know
that
richmond
that
richmond
facility
has
been
open
for
a
little
while
now
and
it's
over
200
homes
there,
but
actually
the
the
build
out
of
that
community
on
that
well
system
is,
is
upwards
of
over
2
000
units.
J
Eventually,
so
it
could
become
the
largest,
the
largest
communal,
well
system
that
we
operate
and,
of
course,
when
we
did
our
growth
plan
a
few
months
ago,
richmond
is
the
community
that
will
see
the
most
amount
of
growth
over.
The
next
has
the
most
capacity
the
potential
addition
of
5
000
units
in
all
of
richmond,
which
is
quite
something
when
there's
only
2000
units.
There
currently.
C
F
F
So
this
is
very
good
to
see
both
the
present
day,
challenges
that
you
have,
but
you've
also
identified
some
of
the
future
challenges
going
forward.
So
thank
you
are
sandbags
our
best
defense
mechanism
for
lemieux
island
going
forward.
Are
we
thinking
about
building
a
concrete,
berm
or
a
wall?
Are
we
thinking
about
protecting
that
facility
better
than
relying
on
the
army.
K
Young,
mr
chair,
so
it's
an
excellent
question.
Obviously
you
know
there
are
some
concurrent
emergencies
going
on
right
now,
and
so
the
availability
of
the
military
to
to
come
in
these
times
is,
you
know,
maybe
difficult,
and
so
we
are
working
with
our
partners
in
planning
infrastructure
and
economic
development,
so
through
the
climate,
resiliency
piece
of
for
the
city.
As
you
know,
we've
seen
through
this
committee
there's
been
an
update
through
julia's
work
on
the
climate
projections
for
this
area.
K
K
What
we
think
is
not
necessarily
the
worst
case
scenario,
but
what
we
think
is
a
likely
scenario
in
in
terms
of
flooding,
so
we
will
continue
to
to
work
with
julia
to
to
move
forward
and
then
move
into
vulnerability
assessments,
and
we
will
be
working
with
our
partners
in
our
asset
management
group
to
to
look
at
options
and
then
start
implementing
them.
The
the
cost,
though,
to
build
a
concrete
wall,
is
small
compared
to
lemieux
island.
F
J
Going
to
get
more
and
lemieux
island
will
probably
be
threatened
again.
So
you
know,
the
levees
in
new
orleans
were
fixed
right
after
katrina
because
they
foresaw
more
hurricanes.
We
are
foreseeing
more
flooding
in
our
future,
so
I
I
just
don't
want
ottawa's
drinking
water
to
be
threatened
when
we
know
what
some
of
the
risks
are
out
there,
so
I
just
wanted
to
plant
that
the
other
risk
I
I
just
wanted
to
to
mention
or.
F
H
There's
no
lead
in
it,
but
you're
correct
that
when
the
water
travels
from
the
the
main,
typically
in
the
middle
of
the
street,
to
the
service
post
at
the
property
line
and
then
further
into
the
house
for
about
30
000
homes,
that
initially
was
a
lead
pipe
that
was
installed,
and
so
you
know,
trace
amounts
of
lead
can
be
absorbed
or
solubilized
during
that
transport,
and
so
to
counteract
that
we
use
corrosion
control.
We
adjust
the
chemistry
of
our
water.
We
adjust
the
ph
currently.
K
K
H
For
ontario
for
lead
and
drinking
water
can
some
homes
have
higher
than
that
lead
levels.
Yeah
that's
possible,
and
in
those
cases
we
encourage
people
to
use
filters
are
very
effective
at
removing
lead
and,
secondly,
to
strongly
consider
removing
those
lead
pipes.
The
lead
pipes
are
the
primary
exposure
point
for
lead
that
they
are
the
primary
contribution.
Can
you
remind
the
committee
we,
the
city
of
ottawa,
has
contacted
homeowners,
who
we
believe
have
lead
pipes
to
alert
them
to
this
fact,
encouraging
them
to
look
into
replacement.
H
K
We
are
issuing
about
30
000
letters
and
pamphlets
to
those
homes
that
we
feel
are
likely
to
have
lead
services
and
there's
an
incentive
of
about
a
thousand
dollars
to
encourage
them.
We
assist
them
in
finding
the
contractor
and
getting
the
work
done
so
that's
underway.
We
also
have
that
information
on
our
website
to
encourage
that,
but
it
did
get
paused
a
little
bit
during
covid
and
now
we're
back
running
again.
K
So
those
letters
are
about
to
go
out
or
have
they
gone
out.
I
think
the
first
batch
of
about
8
000
went
out
and
I
believe
we're
now
mobilizing
to
do
the
second
batch.
Can
we
just
get
a
copy
of
that
letter,
because
I
know
I
think
about
a
year
ago
a
number
of
inquiries
came
through
my
office.
I
have
residents
with
some
residents,
have
lead
pipes
and
just
to
make
sure
I
understand
what
you're
communicating
with
them,
so
my
staff
can
be
able
to
respond.
C
Essential
services
continued
so
water
continued.
I
mean
that
was
absolutely
important.
Our
garbage
services,
waste
removal
continued
and-
and
I
really
at
often
at
many
opportunities,
I
really
thank
staff
for
the
hard
work
that
they
that
they
undertook
as
the
community
went
into
precautionary
lockdown.
C
C
Measures
back
in
the
spring,
there
were
a
lot
of
unknowns
every
day,
every
hour
it
seems
we
were
getting
new
information
and
new
updates
and
and
the
government
shutdowns
and
things
were
moving
so
fast
and
so
and
we
had.
Obviously,
there
were
also
issues
with
health
and
safety
supply
chains
and
ppe.
So
proactively,
we
want.
We
went
on
to
a
staff
rotation
in
order
to
minimize
people
working
together
as
much
as
possible.
C
We
also
took
the
measure
of
employees
that
can
work
from
home
should
work
from
home
and
we
continue
to
have
that
implemented
to
this
day.
What
we've
been
able
to
do
since
march
is
stabilize
the
health
and
safety
and
ppe
requirements
so
that
our
staff
can
work
safely
together.
Not
all
of
the
work
that
we
do
is
done
independently.
A
lot
of
a
lot
of
it
is
done
in
a
crew
base.
So
it's
very
important
for
us
to
make
sure
that.
I
I
This
coming
fall
we're
all
watching
to
see
what
is
going
to
happen
with
schools,
reopening
and
you
know,
we're
starting
to
see
rises
in
cases
in
in
ottawa
and
gatineau.
So
we
are
monitoring,
I'm
going
to
say
absenteeism
on
a
regular
basis
to
see
if
there
are
any
trends.
Currently,
the
the
ontario
government
has
emergency
orders
that
affects
water
and
wastewater
services,
so
because
we
have.
C
We
run
complex
systems
and
we
need
licenses
and-
and
our
employees
need
licenses
to
to
do
some
of
the
work,
and
so
what
the
government
has
allowed
us
to
do
is
waive
that
requirement,
provided
that
we
can
vouch
for
that
person's
training
and
competency
and
and
put
them
at
work.
So
our
worst
case
scenario
is:
we
would
have
to
go
again
and
reduce
the
number
of
employees
that
we
have
working
at
any.
Given
time.
C
We've
been
able
to
show
that
that
we
can
sustain
operations
at
a
level,
probably
before
below
50
percent,
but
it
does
come
at
at
an
operational
and
infrastructure
costs.
So
from
a
maintenance
perspective,
we
can't
keep
going
at
those
levels
for
for
very
long,
so
we
would
have
to
bring
people
back
into
the
workplace,
so
at
least
with
the
emergency
orders
from
the
province.
We
have
the
flexibility
to
bring
in
people,
train
them
up
and
and
ensure
that
they
have
the
competency
to
do
that
work.
C
So
essentially,
we
are
confident
and
we
have
also
identified
employees
that
may
not
be
in
water
services
right
now,
but
may
have
worked
with
us
in
the
past
or
have
the
the
training
and
the
knowledge
in
order
to
do
that.
So
through
the
work
with
human
resources,
this
spring
we've
identified
a
list
of
those
employees
that
we
can
ask
to
to
get
the
conduit
to
water
services
if
we
reach
those
critical
staff
levels,
this
coming
fall
and
winter.
I
C
C
E
C
Increase
in
covered
cases,
there
have
been
preliminary
research
that
have
shown
that
you
can
actually
see
that
increase
in
wastewater
days,
ahead
of
any
impact
to
hospitals
and
and
the
actual
test
results
coming
back
from
from
people
getting
tested.
So
we've
been
involved,
most
importantly
with
the
university
of
ottawa
and
and
they
also
have
epidemiologists
from
from
chio
and
and
they
have
a
number
of
research
partners.
C
B
So
so
that
work
continues
today.
I
appreciate
that
and
it'd
be
wonderful
if
you
can
at
some
point
get
a
get
a
report,
whether
that's
formal
or
informal,
about
about
those
efforts.
I
think
that
that
would
be
helpful
for
us
as
decision
makers
and
and
also
to
get
a
sense
that
there
are
extra
tools
that
are
actually
being
utilized
to
to
really
measure
rates
of
infection
within
our
community.
B
Thank
you,
counselor
clutie.
Thank
you
very
much
chair
and
tammy
ian.
Thank
you
very
much
and
and
like
council
brockington
said
like
councillor
king
said
thank
you
for
your
work
and
sustaining
this
essential
service
throughout
the
pandemic
and
and
in
the
years
prior
to
it,
keeping
this
system
going
from
just
picking
up
on
counselor,
king
and
and
kovid.
So
I
understand
that
the
pandemics
had
an
impact
on
your
operations
with
respect
to
supplying
the
employees
with
personal
protective
equipment.
Is
that
correct.
B
B
Has
the
pandemic
or
the
border
closure
and
the
interruption
of
economic
activity
had
any
impact
on
parts
chemical
supply
chain
and
anything
like
that
that
comes
either
from
within
canada
or
from
from
elsewhere
yeah.
Mr
chair,
that
is
a
very
good
question,
so
that
was
something
that
we
were
monitoring
very
closely
in
the
spring
and
as
the
borders
were
closing,
and
so
with
our
critical
suppliers
such
as
our
chemicals,
they
have
alternate
ways
to
getting
supply
into
canada,
so
some
of
them
were
coming
from
the
states.
B
B
That
hasn't
been
an
issue
for
us
in
ottawa,
and,
and
you
have,
can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
the
contingency
plans
if,
if
there
is
a
second
wave
and
another
subsequent
shutdown,
what
what
the
plans
of
the
department
are
to
to
ensure
that
we
have
the
chemicals,
the
expertise,
the
parts
that
we
need
to
to
maintain
and
sustain
the
system
yeah?
So
there
is
no
there.
There
was
no
supply
chain
disruption
in
the
spring
and
we
are
not
anticipating
any
supply
chain
disruptions
coming
up
as
well.
B
If
there's
a
capital
project
or
our
maintenance
workers
or
our
24
7
shift
operators,
everybody
else
is
asked
to
stay
at
home,
so
we
have
to
maintain
the
the
integrity
of
the
health
of
the
facilities
and
our
employees.
So
we've
taken
a
number
of
precautions
to
to
make
sure
that
those
employees
stay
safe,
that
there
were
masks
in
common
areas.
Even
though
there
are
less
people
in
the
facility
they
they
must
be
wearing
those
masks
as
well.
B
We
talked
about
kovid,
counselor,
brockington
talked
about
lemur
island
and
how
to
best,
protect
it
in
in
the
event
of
a
flood.
What
is
the
greatest
vulnerability
of
the
the
the
safe
water
drinking
system?
Is
it
flooding?
Is
it
supply
chain
interruption?
Is
it
lack
of
well-trained
employees?
What's
the
greatest
vulnerability?
B
Mr
chair,
it's
you
know.
In
the
last
five
years
we've
been
thrown
into
various
floods,
tornadoes
sinkholes
pandemics.
You
know
I
can't
wait
to
see
what
21
2021
brings
us,
but
I
think
what
we've
been
able
to
see
is
that
we
have
very
robust
systems.
We
have
robust
programs,
infrastructure
and-
and
we
have
people
in
place
as
well-
that
are
very
knowledgeable
and
very
dedicated
to
the
work
that
we
do
so
we
do
weather
those
storms
to
pardon
the
pun
and
and
we've
been
able
to
make
improvements
as
we
go
along.
B
So
at
this
point
in
time,
it's
difficult
to
say:
if
any
one
emergency
could
could
really,
you
know,
have
have
a
significant
impact,
but
to
date
we've
we've
had
you
know
world,
you
know
not
world,
but
you
know
historic,
floodings
and
and
a
one
in
one
here,
sort
of
a
100
year
pandemic
and
and
we've
been
able
to
to
maintain
our
services,
and
so
you
know
as
part
of
the
the
quality
management
system
there.
There
is
a
philosophy
within
our
service
around
continual
improvement.
B
Okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you,
chair,
thank
you,
councillor
cliche,
and
we
move
on
to
councillor
deruse
home
of
the
shadow
ridge
drinking
water
system.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
After
counselor
kluty
asked
all
this
question.
I
don't
know
if
we
have
any
question
left,
but
I
still
have
a
small
question
ian.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation.
I
know
that,
like
the
chair
mentioned,
I
have
a
question
concerning
shadow
ridge
too.
I
know
I
know
we're
idling
at
3.5
nitrate
level
right
now
and
that's
within
the
drinking
safety
water.
B
That's
fine,
and
I
know
that
we-
you
mentioned
a
little
bit
about
that
the
testing
well
and
about
some
the
the
deeper
wall.
Can
you
we
please
give
me
a
quick
update.
I
know
time
is
here
ready,
probably
to
answer
some
of
the
question.
Can
you
give
me
kind
of
a
little
update
on
what
we
are
and
if
there
is
any
good
news
with
the
testing
world
that
we
already
implemented
last
year
and
give
me
some
new
time
frame,
I
know
that
probably
covert
delayed
you
a
bit.
B
B
I
just
got
an
update
yesterday
from
our
hydrogeologist
and
they're,
currently
drilling
a
full
test.
Well
that
allows
them
to
evaluate
the
water
deeper
in
the
aquifer
and
also
design
the
well
even
a
drilled.
Well
has
to
be
designed.
So
that's
taking
place
right
now.
I
think
he
said
the
results
are
expected
in
the
fall.
B
So
fairly
soon,
the
indications
are
that
once
they
get
to
the
lower
aquifer,
we're
not
seeing
any
nitrate
at
all
it'll
be
much
deeper
and
more
secure
water
source
long
term,
whether
it
be
nitrate
or
you
know
some
other
contaminant,
that's
that's
long
term
the
best
solution.
There
was
a
little
bit
of
concern
about
iron.
There
might
be
a
little
bit
of
iron
in
the
middle
aquifer,
so
we
prefer
to
get
deep
enough
to
avoid
the
iron
it's
a
bit
of
an
aesthetic
problem.
B
You
might
know
about
that
in
munster
and
a
few
of
our
other
source
wells.
So
my
understanding
is
that
the
work's
proceeding
well
and
this
fall.
We
should
have
results
and
be
ready
to
design
the
new
wealth.
So
you
think
by
the
fall,
we
will
be
able
to
kind
of
give
some
update
to
the
community.
Just
because
I
know
we've
been
having
lots
of
questions
people
concerned
yeah.
B
So
so
until
that
increased
capacity
is
in
place
at
the
water
treatment
plant,
so
there
there's
probably
not
going
to
be
any
building
permits
at
this
time.
I
know
that
I
appreciate
that,
but
also
do
we
know
because
those
well,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
they
also
have
the
capacity
for
future
development,
and-
and
I
remember
that
we
were
talking
about
that
last
year,
but
we
did.
I
didn't,
get
the
full
update
if
we
were
hoping
that
we
have
enough
capacity.
I
just
want
to
know
that.
B
Oh
yeah,
sorry,
I
think
I
misunderstood
your
question.
So
yes,
yes,
as
part
of
the
the
design
of
the
the
new
wells
that
that
we
are
digging
and
drilling
in
shadow
ridge,
is
to
ensure
that
it
is,
it
is
for
future
growth
as
well,
not
just
for
the
existing
system.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much,
mr,
and
thank
you
for
the
update,
thank
you
councillor
and
now
councillor
kavanaugh
home
of
the
britannia.
B
Yes
very
much
very
much
the
home
of
britannia,
I'm
so
proud,
I'm
one
of
your
biggest
fans
for
sure
we're
very
proud
to
have
britannia
filtration
plant
right
there
in
my
backyard,
practically
up
until
recently,
I
was
swimming
just
outside
of
it.
So
with
one
of
your
engineers.
Actually
so
it's
I
can
tell
you
it's
clean.
B
B
Thank
you,
chair
to
my
knowledge.
We
haven't
been
involved
in
that,
but
I
should
mention
that
we
do
monitor
bacteria
and
water
quality
at
britannia's
intake
daily
and
in
fact
we
take
some
continuous
readings
as
well.
So
it'll
be
interesting
for
us
to
see
if
there's
any
disruption
in
terms
of
changes
to
the
river
water
quality.
B
I
can't
see
anything
there
that
wouldn't
be
handled
by
the
treatment
barriers
we
have
in
place,
whether
we
get
floods
or
heavy
wind,
storms
or
tornadoes
the
river
gets
stirred
up.
There's
no
problem
for
the
treatment
that
we
have
engineered
at
the
plant,
but
to
my
knowledge,
we,
I
don't
think
we've
been
involved
in
that
and
we're
aware
of
it,
but
we'll
be
monitoring
the
water
quality
as
things
move
forward.
Okay,
thanks,
I
just
want
to
let
residents
know
about
it.
B
Maybe
I
can
respond
quickly
and
tammy
may
want
to
add
to
it,
but
yeah,
there's
a
psychology
piece
that
has
sort
of
been
built
into
our
culture,
that
having
a
bottle
of
water
is
something
that
you
have
to
have
at
all
times
and
that
it's
safer.
It
has
a
picture
of
a
mountain
on
the
on
the
bottle
and
people.
You
know
associate
that
with
purity
and
what
have
you,
but
I
agree
that
the
tap
water
is
extremely
high
quality
and
is
tested
rigorously.
B
B
There
was
also
talk
of
perhaps
partnering
to
get
like
a
water
truck
to
go
to
different
events
branded
potentially
with
city
of
ottawa,
this
great
water,
so
that
people
at
sports
events
running
events,
cultural
events-
could
just
see
that
constant
use
of
of
our
city,
water,
rather
than
bottles
being
distributed,
so
that
I
believe,
is
in
the
works
with
our
public
and
of
outreach
team
may
have
been
paused
a
little
bit
because
of
covert,
though
yeah
well
put
me
on
the
list.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Thank
you,
sorry.
I
said
to
respond
to
a
text
from
my
son.
Who's
texting
me
from
school,
showing
me
his
new
mask.
I
texted
him
back,
I
said
get
to
work,
get
an
education,
put
your
phone
away,
sheesh.
Of
course
I
shouldn't
be
looking
my
phone
either.
I'm
sharing
a
committee
all
right.
So
thank
you.
I
see
no
further
questions
from
members
of
committee.
Thank
you
again.
B
Ian
tammy,
I
know
lisa
juniak
is
on
as
well
so
appreciate,
appreciate
your
work
again
and
another
standard
quality
report
here,
just
off
the
charts.
I
assume
that
99.3
score
resulted
in
someone's
firing,
though
I
mean,
let's
be
honest:
let's
maybe
we
could
say
that
the
logbook
entries
are
just
a
little
bit
better.
Now,
that's
good!
I
expect
nothing
short
of
hundreds
from
here
on
out
all
right,
so
the
recommendation
for
committee
is
that
the
committee
received
the
2019
management
review
report
received
the
drinking
water
equality
management
system
received.
B
B
B
So
we'll
start
there
excellent
thank
you
chair
and
I
just
wanted
to
submit
an
inquiry
surrounding
clean
water
supply
and
private
wells.
The
questions
that
I'm
going
to
pose
in
the
inquiry
are
what
legal
obligations
does
the
city
have
to
ensure
that
citizens
on
private
wells
have
a
continuous,
clean
water
supply?
B
What
studies
must
be
conducted
when
blasting
is
required
within
500
meters
of
a
private,
functional,
well
and
septic
system?
What
will
the
city
do
if
the
water
table
is
affected
and
water
is
not
available
or
becomes
polluted?
What
additional
protections
are
afforded
by
city
residents
in
ottawa
when
an
area
is
deemed
a
drinking
water,
protected
zone?.
B
Thanks,
do
you?
Are
you
talking
about
like
the
source
water
protection
area?
Yes,
yeah,
okay,
okay,
that's
good!
That's
good!
There's
a
lot
of
information
on
that
from
the
root
of
eye
conservation
authority.
Well,
I
guess
the
various
conservation
authorities
that
we
have
they
work
together
on
the
source,
water
protection
plans
for
the
city
and
beyond
any
other
queries.
I
think
I
I
recall
only
seeing
the
one
from
councillor
king
am
I
correct
all
right.
B
Thank
you,
so
other
business,
I
will
say
that
I
know
council
regulate
had
to
leave
us
and
join
us.
He's
rejoined
us.
After
doing
some,
some
board
health
work
and
even
though
we
actually
did
touch
on
a
lot
of
covet
stuff
here,
I
guess
it's
the
nature
of
the
beast.
You
know
interesting,
though.
Yesterday
I
saw
the
numbers
for
today
yesterday
we
did
28
000
tests
in
the
province
of
ontario
conducted
28,
000
tests.
B
The
country
of
guinea
has
done
28
000
tests
over
the
entire
course
of
the
pandemic,
and
they
have
ten
thousand
cases.
Ontario
only
has
forty
four
thousand
cases
proven
cases
since
the
start.
It's
good
numbers.
I
mean
the
population
of
ontario
compared
to
american
states,
we'd
be
the
fifth
highest
populated
state
if
we
were
in
america,
but
we'd
rank
35th
in
terms
of
overall
cases,
so
ontario's
doing
great
work
and
ottawa's
doing
good
work.
I
know
it's.
B
It's
tough
right
now,
with
the
with
some
new
cases
51
confirmed
today,
but
but
appreciate
the
work
of
the
board
of
health
and
and
council
regulate
and
everyone
over
at
ottawa
public
health.
If
I
just
jump
in
thanks
for
the
kind
words
chair
and
and
just
everybody,
you
would
have
got
to
notice
last
night
that
there's
a
technical
briefing
tomorrow
on
the
testing
process
in
ottawa.
B
So
anything
you
want
to
know
need
to
know
have
to
know
please
tune
in
tomorrow
afternoon
and
we'll
have
well
somebody
from
ottawa,
hospitals
there
and
crick
and
able
to
answer
all
your
questions
thanks.
I've
heard
I've
heard
some
rumblings
that
there's
there's
no
testing
center
in
orleans.
I
don't
know
if
that's
just
I
I
keep
seeing
that
on
twitter.
I'm
not
sure
if
that's
true.
B
But,
conversely,
there's
not
one
in
barham
or
canada,
so
nothing
else
I
think
we
do
have.
We
do
have
a
immediate
availability
following
this
meeting,
we'll
start
15
minutes
after
in
case
anyone
wishes
to
discuss
the
items
today
are
primarily
the
first
two
items
that
we
that
we
dealt
with
today,
so
I'll
stick
around
for
that
all
right.
Thank
you.
So
much
appreciate
that
enjoy
the
rest
of
your
day.
Everyone,
oh
on
adjournment,
other
business.
There
was
none.
That
was
just
me
talking
so
anna
german
adjourned.
