What
we
have
before
us
now
we
have
just
before
lunch.
We'd
finished
all
of
the
questions
that
we
are
now
into
speaking
and
motions
understanding.
There
will
be
a
lot
of
emotions
and
we're
gonna
proceed
is
fairly
slowly,
so
everybody
can
grasp
the
amount
of
motions
that
are
coming
forward.
The
clerks
are
diligently
trying
to
make
sure
everything
is
in
order.
C
C
So
and
now
we
have
two
more
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
everyone
was
very
clear
about
the
what
we
had
in
terms
of
offsets
for
some
of
these,
these
additions
that
are
being
considered
so
just
to
go
through
the
list
to
be
really
crystal
clear.
When
we
launched
the
budget,
we
said
that
we
had
an
expense
item
in
the
non
program
budget
from
the
vacancy
rebate
program
elimination.
They
were
sitting
there
at
five
point:
five
million
to
be
used
towards
poverty
reduction
and
retail
distress.
C
So
if
we
have
recommendations
here
that
actually-
which
we
do
to
fund
those
kinds
of
initiatives,
that
five
point
five
is
dedicated
to
those
expenditures,
we
identified
the
last
time
that,
by
going
to
one
point,
one
percent
to
reach
inflation,
that
gave
us
initial
three
point:
seven
million.
We
highlighted
the
last
time
that
our
final
assessment
role
generated
another
thirteen
point:
almost
three
million
dollars
since
we've
last
met.
We
went
back
and
confirmed
all
our
non-program
estimates.
C
We
are
able
to
adjust
our
tax
penalties
revenue
by
another
2.2
million
and
again
since
we
last
met
our
land
transfer.
Tax
at
year-end
actually
came
in
ten
million
dollars
higher
than
when
we
were
projecting
when
we
launched
the
budget.
So
by
matching
our
land
transfer
tax.
To
our
actual
experience,
then
there's
another
ten
million
dollars
available
to
the
committee
for
2018,
so
in
total
that
provides
the
equivalent
of
thirty
four
point:
seven
million
dollars
against
your
list
of
enhancements
that
you're
considering.
D
Just
for
clarity's
purposes,
charities
purpose,
1.1
percent
inflationary
tax
increase.
So
is
it
that
fair
to
assume
to
count
that
a
one
percent
tax
increase
would
the
yield
us
thirty
seven
point:
two:
five
one
percent
at
point:
one
is
three
million
seven
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand,
then
a
one
percent
tax
increase
is
thirty,
seven
million
that
fair
math.
It's.
E
B
C
Three
mr.
chair,
what
we,
what
I
did
not
do
this
morning
was
to
recap
the
editions
in
terms
of
changes
to
estimates
that
were
that
are
identified
on
page
two
of
the
green
sheets.
It's
the
last
two
items
that
were
not
there.
The
last
time
we
met
the
2.2
million
in
revised
tax
penalty
revenues,
as
well
as
increasing
land
transfer
tax
based
on
the
2007
year
and
projected
year-end
experience.
So.
B
F
F
C
F
C
And
that's
this
number
so
it
the
implementations
been
delayed,
so
we
were
only
able
to
reflect
50%
of
what
we
thought
we
were
going
to
get
this
year
and
that's
the
5.5
because
we
didn't
get
the
regulations.
So
this
is
the
amount
available
we
still
will
be
paying
rebates
into
that
least
the
first
quarter
of
2018.
So
we've
had
to
hold
back
about
6.5
million
of
that
50%,
which
would
become
available
to
fund
the
balance
of
the
poverty
reduction
and,
if
there's
any
additional
distressed
retail
in
2019.
So
we.
F
C
Through
you,
mr.
mr.
chair,
we
did
not
reduce
the
budget
by
this
value
and
kept
the
expense
in
the
budget
as
a
placeholder
right
until
such
time
that
you
were
getting
to
this
pin
point
in
the
prop
and
the
process.
So
we
can
now
reduce
that
expense.
That
provides
five
point:
five
million
dollars
room
in
the
budget
below
zero
below
the
balanced
budget.
C
C
We
didn't
cut
the
budget
until
now,
because
we
knew
that
we're
going
to
offset
this
with
additional
ads.
Now
we
can
reduce
that,
because
council
directed
that
it
be
that
it
be
used
to
fund
poverty
reduction
and
distress,
retail
on
your
list
of
41
million
things
are
in
the
41
League
in
the
Omnibus,
correct
and
so.
C
G
C
B
C
G
G
Now
semantics
pointed
at
me
his
question
and
you're,
assuming
that
0.1
percent,
if
you
use
the
font
of
a
property
tax
point,
if
you
use
the
final
rule,
is
3.7
million.
There
is
no
math
in
the
universe.
That
doesn't
mean
that
if
you
had
done
1%,
it
would
have
been
37
million,
so
his
30
set
is
1%
37
billion,
or
is
it
29
million
its.
G
They
find
little
amounts
in
the
final
role.
What
you
mean
is
just
manner.
Tax
base
has
increased
by
a
small
amount.
Yes,
and
so
that's
so
that's
assessment
growth
through
a
backdoor
or
what
is
that
it
is
assessment
growth.
It's
considered,
okay,
so
now
we're
to
the
meat
of
the
thing.
So
our
assessment
growth
right
now
we
provide
services
to
everyone
in
Toronto
out
of
a
tax
base
and
then,
when
we
can't
make
it
all
add
up,
we
take
the
assessment
growth.
Isn't
that
a
de
facto
reduction
in
service
per
capita.
F
B
G
Year
after
year
after
year
after
year
after
year,
we
take
unsustainable
revenues
at
the
at
the
final
hour
in
order
to
make
it
look
as
in
we
are
meeting
the
service
needs
of
Torontonians.
But
the
thing
that
everyone
forgets
in
this
moment
in
the
conversation
is
that
next
year,
because
many
of
the
revenue
sources
involved
in
solving
this
problem
and
the
budget
generally
were
unsustainable,
we're
gonna
start
out
in
a
deeper
hole.
Then
we
started
out
in
in
the
previous
year.
G
It's
because
there's
this
fetish
on
keeping
taxes
low.
If
we
were
honest
from
the
very
beginning
about
with
Toronto
nians
that,
if
we
want
taxes
here,
we
can
only
provide
services
here,
we
wouldn't
play
this
elaborate
game
and
make
the
whole
we're
in
bigger
every
year
and
that
habit
for
the
last
eight
years
of
mismatching.
G
Our
real
ability
to
pay
for
services
with
the
services
that
we
deliver,
so
that
we
can
tell
people
were
good
guys
has
created
a
slowly
widening
gap,
and
you
see
that
slowly
widening
gap
in
the
way
that
Torontonians,
actually
experience
services.
We
tell
everyone
we're
not
falling
behind
in
public
transit.
Well,
the
fact
that
matter
is
with
40,000
people
a
year
moving
into
the
city
of
Toronto.
G
G
Similarly,
you'll
recall
when
we
were
debating
the
short-term
rental.
I
asked
a
question
of
staff:
are
we
building
affordable
rental
units
as
fast
as
we
are
losing
them,
and
the
answer
is
no.
So
on
the
issue
of
affordable
housing,
we
are
also
falling
behind.
Those
are
three
of
the
services
the
Torontonians
rely
on
most
transit
childcare,
housing
there's
some
of
the
most
important
things
we
do
and
on
each
and
every
one
of
them.
The
experience
for
the
average
Torontonian
in
trying
to
access
that
service
or
the
price
that
they
pay
for.
G
G
That's
been
done
by
the
Canadian
Center
for
Policy
Alternatives
shows
very
clearly
80%
of
Torontonians
get
more
value
in
public
services
on
a
dollar
than
they
pay
in
tax,
the
20
percent,
who
are
very
wealthy
people
and
owned
very
large
homes
and
don't
consume
as
much
as
many
public
services
as
those
of
us
who
are
either
middle
income
or
lower
income.
Do
we
fall
further
behind
so
that
we
can
protect
that
20
percent,
the
wealthiest
Torontonians?
G
That
is
why
you're
here
today
doing
unsustainable
things,
because
you
know
you
can't
tell
that
80%
that
you're
cutting
the
services
we
continue
to
govern
for
the
benefit
of
the
people
who
own
the
most
expensive
properties
and
the
on
deliver
in
our
key
service
areas,
declining
quality
of
service.
We
make
it
better
for
the
wealthiest
Torontonians
and
worse
for
the
80%
of
us
who
work
and
pay
and
live
and
breathe
in
this
city.
It's
terrible
budgeting
and
you've
just
made
it
worse
by
being
unsustainable.
F
Haven't
had
a
chance
to
look
at
the
motion.
I
know
this
motion
has
been
wrapped
up
and
tied
up
with
a
bow
for
some
time.
I
wish
we'd
had
really
realistic
opportunity
to
be
able
to
understand
what's
proposed
today.
I
I
do
want
to
say,
while
the
budget
has
become
more
streamlined
and
I
want,
to
give
first
credit
to
Josie
and
her
team
for
the
work
they
do
to
try
and
make
it
more
comprehensible
for
the
majority
of
people.
F
It
is
still
a
total
challenge
to
explain
to
our
constituents
what
is
in
it
and
what
is
not
and
I
have
to
say
this
year.
While
there
was
some
rationale
provided
for
why
things
were
out
and
some
things
were
in,
it
made
absolutely
no
sense
to
me.
95
million
dollars
outside
the
budget,
but
actually
there
was
56
million
of
revenues
so
childcare.
We
know
that
I
haven't
looked
here,
but
I
know
those
those
825
spaces
are
now
in
the
budget
and
we're
gonna
announce.
There's
825
new
subsidies
in
the
budget.
Money
was
always
there.
F
What
was
not
in
the
budget,
100
percent
provincial
dollars
for
the
Family
and
Children
centers-
that
we're
mandated
to
provide
on
January
1st,
not
in
the
budget
resource
for
special
needs
home
child
care,
inflation
costs,
affordability,
cost
things
that
were
there
full
funded
by
the
province.
Not
in
the
budget
I
mean
how
do
we
go
out
and
consult
on
a
budget
that
is
a
fake
budget.
We
knew
all
along
all
these
things
were
going
to
come
in
so.
F
Anyway,
I
thought
that
part
of
it
has
been
very
frustrating.
The
second
part
is
on
the
childcare
piece
that
we
committed
to
20%
municipal
dollars
to
match
provincial
and
federal
dollars.
We
did
twice.
We
received
56
million
dollars
from
the
federal
and
provincial
government
and
there's
two
million
in
this
budget.
Yes,
there's
a
plan,
a
promise
for
this
next
term
of
office,
maybe
phase
it
in
by
2020
by
then
there'll
be
more
federal
and
provincial
dollars.
How
do
we
match
those
and
to
achieve
our
affordability
targets?
We
need
a
lot
more
money.
F
F
That's
one
thing
as
far
as
all
the
other
things
that
are
not
getting
funded,
we
have
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
people
waiting
for
recreation
programs
in
the
City
of
Toronto
not
being
funded,
we
have
crowded
transit,
not
being
funded.
There
are
many
things
in
this
budget
that
do
not
reflect
the
needs
and
the
growth
of
the
population
in
our
city,
and
we
have
to
be
doing
that.
F
F
We
use
that
money
to
underwrite
low
tax
increases.
That's
what
we
did.
We
used
it
to
absorb
into
the
budget,
250
million
dollars.
It
didn't
get
reinvested
in
social
programs.
It
didn't
get
reinvested
in
recreation
programs.
We
used
it
to
keep
our
tax
rate,
the
lowest
in
the
province
and
I
just
want
to
say.
I
read
the
KPMG
report
and
I
talked
about
this
morning.
F
Toronto
is
the
lowest
out
of
a
hundred
and
eleven
cities
in
terms
of
its
tax
rate
and
its
tax
environment,
a
hundred
and
eleven
cities.
We
can
do
better,
we
should
do
better
and
we
should
be
investing
in
the
city
both
for
its
needs
currently
and
its
growth
for
the
future,
and
we
are
not
doing
that.
Thank.
B
You
councillor
Davis,
seeing
no
outside
speakers,
we're
gonna,
be
moving
to
committee.
I'm
gonna,
be
so
that
I've
had
requests.
We
just
want
to
let
you
know
the
how
we're
gonna
be
moving
the
motions-
and
this
is
partly
to
to
assist
clerk's
because
there's
a
huge
volume
that
we
have
to
do
so
I'll
be
I'll,
be
moving
my
motions
and
speaking
first
followed
by
council,
Annunziata,
Burnside
and
havoc,
and
then
Campbell
part
of
that
has
to
do
with
just
volume.
So
we're
trying
to
make
sure
this
is
what
clerks
have
kind
of
requested.
B
I
have
now
I
know.
Do
we
have
I'm
going
to
put
my
motions
first?
So
if
and
I
think
everybody
has
a
package
now,
because
there
is
quite
a
few
of
them.
So
I'd
like
to
at
least
I'll
move
them
on,
will
allow
clerk's
to
move
for
word
and
you
can
have
a
look
at
them
just
so
we
can
ease
get
them
on
the
table.
So
I
will
you,
if
you
want
to
ask
me
questions
on
on
the
motions?
That's
an
order.
B
B
It
will
be,
it
will
be
in
by
the
sorry,
okay
just
so
that
they're
there,
as
you
said,
there
are
a
number
of
counselors
moving
some
motions.
Some
of
the
items
may
or
may
not
be
in
this
larger
motion.
Some
of
the
other
counters
may
move
other
portions
of
the
recommendations,
so
that
is
the
first
motion.
The
large
motion,
I.
B
B
B
I
have
can
I
have
everybody
calm
down,
there
is
a
if
you
get,
they
are
all
my
motions
are
distributed.
I
have
given
the
clerk's
permission
to
distribute
all
of
mine,
the
other
Clerk,
the
other
counselors,
have
to
give
permission
as
normal
process,
so
mine
are
all
out
there
right
now.
You
have
a
copy
of
all
my
motions,
so
motion.
One
is
in
front
of
you
and
again.
If
you
want
to
follow
through
in
the
package
I've,
given
you
it's
all
there.
H
B
H
E
B
H
B
Are
these
this
particular
one
is
a
motion
that
was
moved
on
behalf
of
another
counselor,
which
is
normal?
What
we
do
in
all
of
our
committees,
counselors,
do
move
motions
on
behalf
of
other
counselors
as
the
practice
that
we
have
done
in
this
committee
and
other
committees,
and
this
is
exactly
what
this
is
so
this
this
would
be
on
behalf
of
a
another
Council
and
I
believe
this
has
counsel
Palacio.
B
H
Chair,
if
you
I,
you
know
I'm
not
going
to
apologize
for
interrupting,
because
we
veered
from
process
I'm
speaking
now,
because
I'm,
following
on
my
point
of
order,
because
I
hear
an
objection.
Ordinarily,
we
are
very
much
used
to
having
someone
come
and
advocate
for
something
that
is
a
random
motion.
That
is
in
fact
going
to
increase
the
budget
and
is
coming
from
funding
sources
that
may
be
already
earmarked
for
other
things,
and
so
my
interruptions
points
of
orders,
whatever
you
want
to
talk
to
whatever
you
want
to
call
them
are
in
that
nature.
H
So
if
we
could
know
the
funding
source
and
whether
or
not
I've
been
briefed
on
this
by
staff
through
the
green
sheets
or
any
other
method
in
the
budget
process
as
I'm
going
through
them,
that
would
lower
my
blood
pressure,
pleasure
and,
and
allow
me
to
be
fiscally
responsible
with
the
city's
money.
Thank.
B
You
councillor
and
I
will
endeavor
as
we
go
through
these
motions
to
let
to
let
you
know
that,
and
I
will
be
clear.
We
are
following
the
proper
process
with
regard
to
this.
Whether
a
councillor
is
here
or
not,
they
have
the
right
to
move
motions
and
members
of
the
committee
do
have
a
right
to
move
the
or
to
ask
councilors
to
move
them,
whether
they
are
here
or
not
as
part
of
the
process
for
their
right.
So
motion
number
three.
B
This
is
general
manager,
parks,
forestry
and
Recreation
to
take
necessary
steps
to
require
and
execute
capital
delivery
agreements.
I
believe
this
one
as
and
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
rely
on
Josie
here
as
we're
moving
through
this
was
already
part
of
so
some
of
these
are
technical
in
nature.
Some
of
these
are
part
of
the
green.
This
is
one
that
is
part
of
the
green
pages.
B
Okay
and
again,
motion
number
five,
which
is
the
acceleration
of
the
vision.
Zero
road
safety
plan
is
in
the
green
sheets.
This
is
one
of
the
yeah,
so
that's
their
motion.
Number
six.
The
Capitoline
council
increased
the
twenty
eighteen
to
twenty
seven,
proclaiming
the
capital
budget
plan
for
transportation.
That
is
also
part
of
the
wrap
up
and
again
to
to
work
with
for
transportation
services
to
work
with
parks,
forestry,
recreation
to
do
an
assessment
of
Brimley
Road
self.
B
That
is
actually
my
motion
that
is
to
deal
in
the
future,
not
this
particular
year
to
deal
with
Brimley
problems
on
Brimley
road
cells,
so
that's
2019
at
City
Council
and
we're
on
number
eight.
Now
that
the
council
increased
the
twenty
eighteen
to
twenty
seven
preliminary
capital
budget
and
plan
for
a
Toronto
Transit
Commission
in
the
total
project,
cost
of
five
million
dollars
and
I'll
leave.
The
rest
of
Josie
had
just
mentioned
that
that's
a
five
million
dollar
amount
that
was
part
of
the
wrap-up.
B
B
B
That
is
my
motion
that
is,
to
increase
starting
in
2019,
depending
on
the
reports
coming
back
to
continue
the
2
million
dollar
investment
we've
been
doing
over
the
last
four
years.
Again,
that's
coming
back
in
2019
has
no
2018
impact
again.
This
is
part
of
the
wrap-up
notes
as
well.
The
Toronto

B
B
Motion
number
15:
this
is
a
receipt
of
a

the
United
Way
York
Region,
as
a
concept
contribution
to
the
black
youth
leadership
grant
in
confronting
anti
black
racism,
and
this
is
also
in
the
wrap-up
notes
to
put
the
funds
towards
the
anti
black
racism.
That's
all
zero
motion
number.
Sixteen

Council

there's

more
that
has
to
go
in
before
I

As
part
of
my
remarks,
the
first
thing
I
have
to
do
is
number
one.
B
I
want
to
thank
all
the
budget
committee
members
and
counselors
who
have
been
involved
in
this
process
for
the
last
couple
of
months
and
who
have
actually
come
out
and
councillor
Davis
I'll,
recognize
you
and,
of
course,
council.
The
perks
that
has
pretty
much
been
out
to
all
the
meetings
and
I
want
to
recognize
you
for
the
work
that
you've
been
doing
also
want
to
thank
our
city
staff.
B
We're
making
and
we're
reporting
out,
but
in
all
the
work
that
they've
done
in
trying
to
balance
the
budgets
trying
to
bring
in
efficiencies,
look
in
different
ways
to
modernize,
to
transform
this
huge,
huge,
complex
organization,
and
that
has
given
us
the
ability
to
actually
do
the
kind
of
investments
that
we're
doing
here.
But
from
my
perspective,
this
is
a
very
good
news
budget
in
the
forth.
B
It's
a
fourth
year
in
a
row
that
we've
kept
property
taxes
at
or
below
the
rate
of
inflation,
and
we
are
keeping
life
in
Toronto
fordable
for
the
residents
of
this
city.
Now
what
we're
also
doing
in
keeping
taxes
low
and
affordable
for
the
residents
of
the
city,
we're
also
investing
in
new
services.
B
There
are
in
this
budget
what
you're
going
to
be
seeing
what
I
have
moved
and
what
a
few
other
councils
will
be
moving
over
50
million
dollars
of
investments,
while
at
the
same
time
keeping
property
taxes,
low
I
think
that's
an
incredible
achievement
that
we've
been
able
to
do
and
I
can
run
down
a
whole
list.
You've
seen
them
in.
In
my
my
motion
and
other
counsels,
but
I'm
just
going
to
highlight
some
of
them,
we
of
course
we've
avoided
any
cuts
to
the
TTC.
We've
avoided
fare
increases.
B
We
are
having
a
TTC
fare
freeze
this
year
for
or
for
low-income
residents
transform
tÃo,
even
though
it's
not
in
my
and
my
motion
will
be
totally
totally
supported
and
funded
vision.
Zero
is
going
to
be
totally
we're
going
to
be
accelerating
that
we
have
the
anti
black
racism
strategy
and
indigenous
offices.
We
have
a
lot
of
stuff
here
that
we
are
putting
into
this
budget
and
I
think
it's
incredibly
ambitious
and
what
we've
been
doing,
even
though
other
councillors
will
disagree.
B
I've
heard
time
and
time
again,
we
have
to
raise
taxes
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
people
in
this
city,
while
we're
showing
here
that
we
can
keep
taxes
low
and
affordable,
but
we
can
also,
at
the
same
time,
do
the
investments
that
are
needed
again
over
fifty
million
dollars
of
new
investments
is
in
here
and
again.
How
are
we
balancing
this?
That
is
always
the
the
struggle
when
we're
looking
at
balancing
and
we
come
down
at
the
end
of
the
year.
B
We
started
with
a
budget
that
was
in
essence
balanced
by
the
city
manager,
which
was
something
we
have
not
done
in
many
many
years.
So
we
started
off
at
a
very
good
state
and,
as
we
went
through
the
process,
there
were
additions
made.
There
were
41
million
dollars
that
we
put
or
left
outside
of
the
budget
process,
because
the
city
manager
felt
that
those
are
policy.
Decisions
are
decisions
that
council
had
to
make.
That
is
why
they
became
on
the
outside
of
that
not
part
of
the
new
and
enhanced.
B
Through
the
process
we
added
a
lot
more
new
and
important
investments,
and
then
they
add
up
to
that
that
50
million
dollars.
So
when
we
look
at
over
the
50
million
dollars
and
how
do
we
pay
for
this?
There
are
three
main
categories
that
we
looked
at
doing
this
and,
of
course,
assessment
growth
was
part
of
that.
There
is
an
amount
of
assessment
that
Josie
did
mention
of
thirteen
point
three
million
dollars.
That
enabled
us
to
add
to
more
of
the
put
in
more
of
the
investments
we
have
taken.
B
Some
from
the
the
parking
authority
shown
a
parking
authority.
There
is
an
increase
in
the
MLT
T
of
ten
million
dollars
and
there's
the
vacant
unit
rebate,
and
there
is
an
amount
that
we'll
be
taking
from
our
reserves,
but
understanding
the
reserves
are
there
for
a
purpose
there
is
reserves
are
there
for
when
we
need
them.
We
went
through
in
the
last
four
or
five
weeks,
incredible
work
and
challenges
with
our
shelter
system.
B
We
needed
to
make
decisions,
we
needed
to
add
money
into
the
budget
that
wasn't
there
initially
and
those
are
the
kind
of
monies
that
I
think
we
needed
to
add
as
part
of
the
process,
but
we
used
and
we
are
using
certain
reserve
funds
to
enable
us
to
do
that
and
we're
using
them
for
the
purposes
that
they
were
there.
Those
reserve
funds
every
year
get
replenish
based
on
a
number
of
different
factors.
It's
in
the
budget,
but
it's
also
part
of
the
part
of
the
surpluses
that
we'll
be
getting
so
there's
a
way.
B
There's
it.
They
work
the
way
they're
supposed
to
be
working,
so
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
it's
an
incredibly
good
budget.
We've
added
a
lot
and
we've
managed
to
keep
taxes
low,
which
I
think
is
a
critical
component
of
why
I
know
my
residents
voted
me
in
to
be
a
counselor.
Thank
you.
Next,
we
have
councillor
Annunziata.
A
A
B
A
A
It
was
very
clear
that,
at
all
the
consultation
meetings
that
we
had
was
that
the
deputy
instead
D
puted,
asked
us
to
put
the
money
back
in
on
the
new
enhanced,
and
that
was
a
total
of
41
million
and
we're
doing
that
and
even
much
more
than
that,
so
what
we're
doing
is
exactly
what
the
community
and
what
the
people
asked
us
to
do.
That's
what
this
budget
budget
is
all
about.
Counselor
perks
mentioned
well.
A
In
the
past
eight
years
we've
been
taking
money
out
of
reserve
Wow,
it's
not
just
been
in
the
last
eight
years.
It's
been
since
amalgamation.
When
David
Miller
was
mayor
every
year
he
balanced
the
budget
by
taking
money
at
reserve
and
a
tax
increase.
So
it's
not
just
in
the
last
eight
years,
so
I
had
to
clarify
that
so
I'm.
A
As
far
as
the
child
care,
growth
strategy
and
I
moved
that
motion,
because
it
was
very
clear
through
the
deputations
in
councilor
Davis,
you
spoke
as
actually
at
one
of
the
meetings
that
we
had
in
East
York
I'm.
Putting
that
money
back
into
the
body
and
there's
this
plan
notes
in
2018,
we
will
provide
825
subsidies.
E
D
A
D
D
You
from
what
I
heard
at
the
budget
consultations
and
from
what
I've
been
hearing
over
the
past
month
month
and
a
half
related
to
this
shelter
crisis
is
that
people
in
Toronto
want
us
to
invest
in
the
city
that
we
are
building
they
want
us
to,
and
it
was
speaker
after
speaker
in
all
the
sessions
that
I
went
to
and
I
went
to
three
of
them.
They
want
us
to
be
bold
and
have
some
political
courage
in
in
the
services
that
we
offer.
D
The
themes
that
emerged
are
around
inequality
and
around
poverty,
the
growing
distance
between
the
haves
and
have-nots.
They
want
us
to
invest
in
the
area
of
a
housing.
They
want
us
to
invest
in
the
air,
shelter,
shelter
and
housing.
They
want
us.
They
want
us
to
invest
in
mobility
and
in
public
Trent
includes
public
transit.
They
want
us
to
invest
in
climate
change
and
they
want
us
to
invest
in
strong
public
services.
You
know
they
want
us
to
adopt
a.
We
can
do
it
kind
of
approach.
D
I
I
would
say
that
there
are
a
lot
of
good
things
in
this
budget
and
there
are
things
that
need
to
be
fixed.
My
list
of
motions
was
a
lot
bigger
and
I
certainly
appreciate
that
a
lot
of
things
have
been
covered
by
councillor
my
other
councillor,
colleagues,
but
here's
what
here's,
what
where
I
am
right
now,
mr.
chair,
the
deal
for
me
being
on
this
committee
was
that
I
would
put
my
nose
to
the
grindstone
work
diligently.
D
Do
the
best
I
could
inside
this
committee
structure
and
I
would,
if
I
put
forward
reasonable
proposals
on
additional
amendments
that
they
would
be
reasonably
considered
and
looked
at.
So
it's
in
that
context
that
I
put
forward
these
motions.
The
first
one
was
actually
from
from
staff
to
give
to
give
voice
to
the
changes
in
the
shelter
system.
D
It's
very
small
dollars,
and
the
commitment
here
would
be
that
public
health
would
try
to
find
for
2019
a
new
funding
source
for
this,
but
this
basically
supports
at
risk.
At-Risk
youth
and
our
Children's
Aid
Societies
have
called
us
and
said
that
they
want
that
monies
restored
the
next
one
is
it's:
it's.
D
The
staff
need
this
to
basically
allow
for
the
farmers
markets
not
to
be
charged
a
different
rate,
and
if
we
want
to
support
farmers
markets,
this
is
three
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
worth
and
staff
have
said
that
they
are
able
to
to
absorb
that
that
cost
the
next
one.
Thirty
three
we
have
been
having
an
ongoing
debate
at
the
TTC
on
the
on
the
overcrowding
on
the
system.
D
You
will
note
from
briefing
note
number
39
that
the
cost
of
implementing
on
a
full
year
basis,
so
that
we
don't
have
crowding
according
to
our
own
standards,
is
twelve
point:
five
million
dollars.
Twelve
point:
five
million
dollars
in
that
covers
peak
in
off
peak
in
consultation
with
staff.
The
amount
for
one
third
of
the
year
when
the
buses
are
starting
to
arrive
this
coming
as
spring
and
summer
would
be
four
point
two
you've
already
put
in
one.
This
is
the
outstanding
amount.
This
will
allow
people
frankly
to
get
to
work
on
time.
D
There
are
so
many
of
us.
So
often
I
am
stuck
on
more
platforms
and
at
more
bus
stops
because
I'm,
a
regular
user,
the
TTC
and
I'll
tell
you.
People
are
deeply
frustrated
by
the
lack
by
by
the
overcrowding
on
the
system.
The
next
one
number
34
it
was
in
the
appendix
staff
have
done
good
work
on
this.
If
we
believe
in
making
sure
that
all
our
departments
look
like
the
city
we
represent
and
serve,
this
helps
the
fire
department
do
that
the
fire
department
is
trying
their
best
to
diversify.
D
What
they
agree
is
a
pretty
monolithic
fire
department
in
terms
of
color,
race
and
so
on.
This
will
allow
some
good
work
to
be
done
in
in
that
area
and
it's
$200,000,
and
it's
only
one
time,
money
it's
to
hire
an
outside
consultant
to
look
through
their
systems
to
improve
how
they
are,
they
hire
how
they
recruit,
how
they
educate
and
so
on.
This
is
one
time
money.
The
next
one
is
around
the
advancing
social
procurement
objectives.
D
D
D
This
is
to
cover
our
piece,
not
the
whole
piece
for
all
community
agencies
across
the
city
that
are
hit
because
of
bill
148
and
the
and
minimum
wage
increases.
This
is
for
this
is
to
respect
our
piece
of
that
pie.
Staffs
are
say
that
they
need
80,000
to
do
that.
So
that's
what
that
is,
and
the
last
second
last
one.
D
Second
well
notes:
my
last
one
is
154,000
to
do
face
for
a
Swint
swim
to
survive.
It
is
an
absolute
catastrophe
for
us
as
a
city
living
in
a
country
that
is
25%
of
the
freshwater
of
the
entire
world,
that
we
don't
have
everybody
learning
how
to
swim.
Staff
have
indicated
that
they
can
do
face
board.
D
They
can
do
a
good
piece
of
phase
4
and
that
would
advance
the
progress,
the
the
program
so
that
we
don't
have
the
program
of
endless
phase
and
forever
and
ever,
but
we
really
try
to
do
it
by
2019
2020
at
the
latest.
Thank
you.
That's
that
one
so
I
hope
you
can
support
these.
These
motions
mr.
chair
I,
think.
H
Oh,
it's
still
on
the
screen
motion.
36,
aye
I
would
love
to
support
this,
but
I
am
wondering
if
you
would
consider
it
a
friendly
amendment
to
remove
the
bill
138
language
at
the
end
of
it,
because
my
reason
for
supporting
it
would
be
the
support
of
the
cpap
community.
I
heard
loud
and
clear
from
mr.
Brill
injure
that
he
was
concerned
about
equity
issues,
grant
applicant
uproar
if
he
tied
it
specifically
to
bill
138.
H
B
You
Thank
You
councillor
Carol,
any
other
questions.
I
just
have
a
just
one
question:
counselor
I,
don't
except
for
motion
4,
which
is
the
first
one
in
motion
32,
which
is
the
reduction
in
the
farmers
market
that
understands
can
be
absorbed
in
the
the
actual
budget.
Did
you
do?
Have
you
considered
any
offsets
for
any
of
these
increases
that
you
want
to
do?
There's
no
I'm
noticing,
there's
no
offsets
in
your
gonna.
Raise
taxes.
Are
you
gonna
order?
You
can
just
have
you
considered
what
the
offsets
would
be.
E
You
mr.
chair
I
have
a
motion
that
looks
to
the
next,
the
next
session
of
council
2018
to
2022
that
would
restrict
outside
offices,
offices
of
counselors,
outside
of
City
Hall
to
the
Civic
centers
or
other
agency
owned
buildings,
where
the
rent
is
comparable,
comparable
to
Civic
Center
space.
That's
a
that's
an
impact
of
about
one
hundred,
sixty
two
thousand
dollars
that
we're
paying
right
now
for
counselors
to
have
offices
on
storefronts,
so
I'm
not
gonna,
speak
any
further.
To
that,
that's
that's
self-explanatory,
but
I.
E
H
I
just
have
my
motion
is
a
small
housekeeping
motion
I'm
not
making
major
changes
to
this
to
this
budget.
This
is
simply
because
we
are
once
again
going
to
try
removing
the
the
street
receptionists,
as
we've
done
three
times
in
my
tenure
here
in
City
Hall
and
once
again,
people
complain
about
it,
but
at
the
very
least
this
time
I'd
like
to
have
signage,
it
goes
beyond
just
the
10th
card
at
the
desk.
H
On
the
second
floor
that
says
no
one's
here,
so
I've
asked
that
we
actually
put
signage
on
the
main
floor,
telling
people
where
they
must
go,
because
there
will
only
be
one
person
to
go
to
on
the
second
floor.
If
this
budget
passes,
councillor
perks
has
already
spoken
to
the
things
in
the
budget
and
and
that
they're
unsustainable,
I
call
the
councillor.
Campbell
is
happy
that
they're
all
there,
but
but
how
I
would
characterize
this
budget?
Is
it
this
budget
provides
a
temporary
chicken
in
every
pot.
H
It's
a
temporary
chicken,
we're
gonna,
pull
it
out
of
the
pot
at
some
point.
In
time,
interest
rates
have
begun.
Their
climb
we've
had
an
interest
rate
increase,
so
councillor
Campbell's
thinks
it
might
stop
one
day
he
posts
that
differently,
we'll
stop.
It
should
come
as
no
surprise
that
that
one
of
the
biggest
pressures,
one
of
the
things
we
heard
loudest
at
at
our
deputation
events
in
four
corners
of
the
city,
that
childcare
was
a
huge
pressure.
H
It
should
come
as
no
surprise
that
other
governments
are
falling
all
over
themselves
to
invest
in
it
right
now.
It's
there
they're
simply
responding
to
the
electorate.
Millennials
are
in
their
baby-making
years,
there
ages
21
to
35
right
now.
This
is
when
they
make
babies
and
those
babies
need
care.
H
Next,
they'll
need
houses
and
we
think
oh
well,
that's
more
land
transfer
tax,
but
what
what
also
happens
at
that
point?
Is
you
stop
moving
around
you
buy
that
house
and
then
you
hunker
down,
because
you're
going
broke
paying
for
childcare
and
you
can
barely
afford
to
improve
upon
the
house,
let
alone
stage
it
and
sell
it.
So
the
fun
times
we've
had
well.
H
These
guys
were
graduating
from
University
and
and
spending
their
first
little
windfall
on
their
tiny
little
condo
is
soon
gonna
dry
up
and,
and
you
are
going
to
stop
having
that
eight
hundred
million
there's
really
nothing
in
the
reserves
to
replace
it.
There,
there
isn't
800
million
sitting
in
the
property
tax
stabilization
reserve
for
the
day
the
land
transfer
tax
start
coming
in
and
last
but
not
least
to
the
to
the
idea
of.
H
We
should
be
able
to
keep
adding
things
and
have
an
economy
of
scale
and
not
really
apply
services
to
assessment
growth
that
runs
out
as
well,
because,
basically,
the
CBA
policy,
when,
when,
when
the
provincial
government
of
the
day
set
the
the
the
the
thing
that
replaced
mill
rate
and
set
set
the
breadbox
size,
they
really
took
into
account
what
it
was
gonna
cost
to
run
cities
and
what
we
should
be
getting
from
economy
of
scale.
They
actually
factored
economy
of
scale
in
when
they
handed
us.
H
Our
mitigation
funds
in
school
boards
and
cities
put
it
here,
so
any
economy
of
scale
that
we
could
achieve.
We
achieved
and
after
that,
in
every
budget
town
hall
of
every
counselor,
someone
stands
up
and
says
you
should
be
rolling
in
dough.
Look
at
all
these
condos
and
every
one
of
us
gives
them
an
answer.
That
is
a
lie.
H
Every
councilor
says
no,
no,
it's
not
a
windfall
because
for
every
new
rate
payer
they
want
services
just
like
yours
and
we
equally
spread
it
out
and
we
give
everybody
services
as
soon
as
they
start
paying
property
taxes.
So
there's
no
windfall
at
all.
That's
a
lie
you
are
lying.
I
did
not
lie
to
my
residents
this
year
and
I.
Won't
because
we
don't
increase
services
for
every
rate
pair
exponentially.
We
plug
the
hole
in
the
budget
with
it.
We
just
plug
the
hole.
H
So
you
didn't
put
a
chicken
in
every
pot
when
you
put
in
the
41
million
you
put
a
temporary
chicken
in
every
pot
and
you're
gonna
have
to
pull
it
back
out
next
year
or
you're.
Gonna
have
to
be
honest
with
people,
and
the
only
way
to
do
that
we
heard
from
the
youth.
They
would
like
us
to
ask
them
how
they
want
this
city
run
before
we
start
the
budget.
You're
gonna
hear
it
all
through
the
election.
H
They
want
to
be
consulted
before
you
start
the
target
letters
rollin
before
you
set
a
property
tax
rate
and
say
this
is
the
rate
go
away?
Look
away
now
you
don't
need
to
follow
the
process,
because
the
rate
will
be
this
and
we
won't
change
it.
No
matter
what
comes
up
during
the
process,
they
don't
want
that
anymore
and
I'm,
not
offending
the
city
manager
or
the
CFO
or
the
senior
financial
planner
in
saying
this,
because
they
would
like
to
do
it
that
way.
H
For
the
first
time
in
ten
years,
ask
people
what
the
city
they
really
want
is
and
are
they
prepared
to
pay
for
it,
but
do
it
beforehand,
because
if
there
really
are
multitudes
out
there,
that
will
come
forward
and
say
please,
please,
please
don't
raise
my
taxes,
that's
a
meeting
they'll
come
to
because
it
will
still
be
up
in
the
air
and
they
will
have
a
reason
to
come
and
tell
you
their
input.
Thank.
B
Okay,
thank
you,
Thank
You
counsel,
as
we
we
are
now
ready
any
of
the
speakers.
Okay.
Now
we
are
now
going
to
begin
the
voting
and
I'm
going
to
ask
for
some
patience
with
this,
as
there
are
quite
a
few
motions
that
will
have
to
be
read
and
I
would
also
request
that
counsels
make
sure
they
put
up
their
hands
or
indicate
the
preference,
so
I
can
see
them
as
we
move
forward.
C
B
B
B
A
E
B
E
G
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
You,
okay
counselors,
just
let
you
know,
as
I
mentioned
getting
we
had
two
items.
The
one
item
we're
dealing
with
right
now,
just
clerks
are
gonna
go,
but
there
was
a
second
item
that
I'd
like
to
move.
It
is
item
bu,
forty
point
two,
which
is
the
additional
City
of
Toronto
act,
reporting
requirements
as
a
result
of
recording
of
tangible
capital
assets.
B
B
B
The
list
is
right
there.
