A
B
Madam
Speaker
I
have
the
motion
now
and,
and
the
only
thing,
that's
not
in
it
to
clarify
if
we
you're
asking
for
a
portion
of
and
I
would
assume
that
that
you're
just
asking
for
that
negotiation,
and
so
how
much
that
would
be
is
is
up
to
the
province
if
they
grant
it.
But
when
you
go
on
in
number
two,
if
not
granted,
if
we
were
to
collect
it
ourselves,
do
you
have
an
idea
of
what
that
would
net
the
city.
C
Yeah,
whether
there
are
a
number
of
estimates
based
on
a
report
by
key
PMG
that
was
brought
to
executive
committee
in
2016-
and
it
really
all
depends
on
what
the
what
the
rate
would
be
set
so
I'll
give
you
an
example.
If
it
was
0.5%
it
s,
it's
estimated
at
one
hundred
and
twenty
four
point:
nine
million
a
year
at
one
percent.
It
could
be
two
hundred
and
sixty
one
point.
Four
million
one
point:
five.
It
could
be
three
hundred
and
ninety
one
point
four
and
a
two
percent.
C
It
could
be
up
to
five
hundred
and
fourteen
point
nine
million,
and
this
same
report
suggests
that
they
refer
to
us
study
that
says
that
that
that
a
general
sales
tax
grows
approximately
at
the
same
rate
as
at
the
personal
income.
So
it's
the
most
stable
revenue
tool
to
use
in
the
long
term
in
comparison
to
others.
C
The
other
thing
that
you
should
be
aware
of
is
that,
if,
if
we
are
going
to
consider,
if
we
have
the
ability
to
have
our
own
retail
sales
tax,
we
have
the
ability
to
make
what
is
by
nature
a
regressive
tax.
Do
a
lot
of
good
progressive
things,
so
we
have
the
ability
to
exempt
things
like
children's
clothing,
pharmaceuticals,
etc
for
lower
income.
Middle
class,
like
in
New,
York
and
other
cities,
do
right.
B
I
see
that
in
in
Clause,
6
e
and
you're,
using
in
in
those
numbers
you're
using
the
more
conservative
of
the
estimates
we
receive
using
the
KPMG
you're
aware
that
hamsun
predicted
that
basically
Toronto
could
net
every
year
five
hundred
million
dollars
of
new
money
in
a
moderate
income
and
the
the
the
whole
of
the
GTA
was
a
billion.
The
other
half
of
a
half
a
million
half
a
billion,
would
would
be
spread
amongst
the
three
regions
of
the
GTA
you're.
C
C
D
Under
the
provisions
of
the
City
of
Toronto
act
to
provide
for
a
sales
tax,
but
then
in
Part
B,
you
say,
coordinate
with
other
creative
or
other
municipalities
on
a
sales
tax,
but
they
don't
have
the
same
conditions
of
the
City
of
Toronto
line.
Well,
I
believe
they
should
I.
Have
a
question
is
to
councillor
Matt
look
good.
So,
sir.
C
I
threw
you,
madam
Speaker
I,
believe
they
should,
and
if
you
I
believe,
if
you
spoke
with
mayor
Crombie
of
Mississauga
or
mayor
burden
of
Oakville
and
others,
they
would
concur
that
they
need
something
like
a
sales
tax
for
their
municipalities.
I.
Believe,
though,
that,
if
is
that,
if,
if
we,
if
we
are
granted
the
opportunity
to
have
a
city
retail
tax,
we
should
take
a
leadership
role
in
bringing
along
our
partners
to
mitigate
the
possibility
of
sort
of
a
cross-border
concern.
So
we
want
it.
A
D
What's
going
on
you're
raising
budgets,
you're
you're,
you're,
you're
spending
like
fiends
and
you're,
not
getting
our
blessing
to
do
it
and
and
what
I
think
needs
to
happen
and
I've
said
this
for
a
long
time
is
for
us
to
take
a
step
back
considerable
step
back.
We
have
now
increased
Toronto's
budget
by
two
billion
dollars
since
2013
and
our
services
are
not
gotten
better.
Our
constituents
are
not
happy.
Our
constituents
want
to
go
back
to
the
basics
and
run
a
municipality
the
way
it
should
be.
They
want
the
roads
repaired
cleaned.
D
D
Mike
mice,
my
community
does
out
does
not
want
pay
for
TDC
anymore.
They
don't
want
it
to
be
a
municipal
issue.
They
they
want
it
to
be
the
provincial
government
to
pays
for
it.
Ask
them
they'll
tell
you
that
they
don't
want
this.
All
we're
doing
is
is
is
going
crazy
with
these
debates
and
figuring
out
which,
which
subway
we
should
have
them
in
which
and
which
LRT
we
can
afford
on
8
cents
on
the
dollar.
It's
not
about
it's
not
about
anything
councillor.
Madol
stands
up
and
says
you
know.
D
People
are
phony
they're
there,
they're,
not
real.
Yet
the
reality
of
the
situation
is
it's
the
services
that
don't
match
the
dollars
and
we
increase
and
we've,
and
we
vote
in
favor
of
the
two
billion
dollar
increase
over
the
last
four
years,
with
nothing
to
show
for
it.
Nothing
except
an
increase
in
our
social
costs.
My
community
doesn't
want
to
pay
for
those
social
costs,
anymore,
they're,
saying
enough.
They're
saying
give
the
province
back
the
the
TC
HC
units.
D
Let
them
manage
them
because
we
can't
these
are
the
sorts
of
things
that
we
have
to
cut
back
on
and
do
it
do
it
in
these
kinds
of
settings
with
our
budgets
and
then
start
over
again
and
figure
out
what
our
priorities
are
in
the
city.
We
have
lost
touch
with
the
taxpayer.
We
think
we're
bigger
than
them
in
this
chamber
this
cockiness.
That's
going
on
with
politicians
with
staff,
it's
getting
ridiculous
and
people
are
getting
sick
of
it.
I
certainly
am
and
I'm
not
going
to
I'm
not
going
to
shut
up
folks.
D
E
D
A
D
G
D
D
So,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
there
will
be
more
attempts,
but
by
individuals
like
mean
I,
think
believe
it
or
not.
It's
gonna
grow
from
one
person
to
a
few.
After
this
election,
I
think
most
people
are
going
to
hear
what
what
we've
done
wrong
in
this
chamber
for
the
last
four
years.
A
poodle
Clark
is
not
the
way
to
run
a
city.
A
three
billion
dollar
poodle
park
when
I
can't
even
get
a
swing
set.
D
I
cannot
get
a
swing
set
replaced
in
my
ward,
because
because
we
don't
have
the
money,
I
can't
get
the
weeds
pulled
out
of
our
sidewalks
in
our
roads,
because
we
don't
have
the
resources,
but
we
do
have
the
three
billion
dollars
it's
going
to
cost
for
for
a
park
and
councillor
crises
for
it.
We
have
that
these
are
the
sorts
of
things
that
we're
going
to
hear,
but
we're
already
hearing
about
them.
I'm
hearing
about
them.
I
said
at
the
beginning.
This
is
an
11
billion
dollar
boondoggle,
that's
the
that's!
H
D
I
Madam
Speaker
I
have
a
motion
if
the
staff
could
put
it
up
on
the
screen.
It's
a
I
hope
that
you
can
all
support
this,
and
it's
that
City
Council
increase
the
2018
TTC
operating
budget
by
two
million
dollars
to
provide
additional
funding
towards
overcrowding
and
also
to
a
report
back
both
to
the
TTC
and
so
the
Budget
Committee
and
the
in
the
second
quarter
of
this
year.
I
So
I,
don't
think.
I
have
to
tell
anyone
in
this
chamber
about
the
overcrowding
problem
that
we
have
on
the
TTC.
There
are
the
major
disruptions
that
make
the
news
daily
and
the
overcrowding
on
the
many
routes
and
stations
that
actually
take
their
toll
on
the
residents
of
the
city
and
I
am
sure
that
you
like
me,
get
the
calls
and
emails
from
your
residence
and
when
there's
a
major
delay,
it
has
a
ripple
effect
all
through
the
city.
I
So,
yes,
there
are
investments
in
projects
in
the
works
to
make
the
TTC
better,
but
I
think
we
need
to
do
more.
The
budgeted
TTC
ridership
for
2018
is
539
million
rides.
It
really
is
the
lifeblood
of
our
city.
The
money
in
my
motion
asks
for
is
not
a
lot
given
the
size
of
TTC
operations,
but
I
actually
think
it'll
help
to
improve
TTC
service.
To
be
sure,
more
money
would
probably
help,
but
I
hope
you
can
support
this
request.
I
There's
some
other
important
investments
that
I
we
need
in
order
to
create
a
more
livable,
sustainable
and
attractive
City,
so
I'll
be
supporting
some
motions
today
that
address
issues
like
child
care
and
poverty
reduction
and
I
would
agree
with
those
that
suggest.
Our
federal
and
provincial
partners
should
do
more
to
help
Torontonians,
but
I
also
worry
about
how
much
we
ask
of
our
staff
and
whether
or
not
departments
can
meet
the
challenges
ahead,
because
we
have
new
technologies
and
new
residents
and
there's
greater
and
greater
complexity.
That
needs
to
be
managed.
I
So
I
actually
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
the
staff
who
helped
with
this
budget
and
also
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
the
budget
committee
and
chair
Crawford
and
all
the
residents,
the
civil
society
partners
that
came
out
over
these
last
few
months
to
all
of
the
various
meetings
and
community
consultations
to
help
with
the
budget
process.
The
latter
often
don't
get
the
congratulations
that
they
deserve
for
contributing
meaningfully
to
the
deliberations
here
at
City,
Hall,
okay,.
J
I
J
A
B
B
A
J
You,
madam
Speaker
I,
have
three
motions
if
we
could
put
them
on
the
screen.
The
first
first
one
is
to
for
council
to
approve
the
extension
of
the
participatory
budgeting
initiative,
which
we
brought
to
Budget
Committee
I,
believe
in
December
2015.
The
three-year
pilot
has
been
completed
and
we're
making
that
subject
to
the
2019
budgetary
process.
J
Second
relates
to
a
four
point:
nine
five
million
dollar
in
Toronto
water
they've
asked
for
an
extra
three
million
dollar
for
tree
planting.
The
big
problem
that
we
find
across
the
city
is
when
Toronto
water
fixes
to
some
capital
work
on
a
Boulevard
or
on
the
public
right-of-way
or
on
someone's
front
lawn.
The
complaints
come
in
about
the
remediation
and
the
sod
planting
the
grass
planting,
and
we
bring
to
run
our
water
to
talk
about
what
they're
willing
to
do,
and
they
say
they
don't
have
the
money.
J
So
we
like
that
spread
over
front
lawn
repair
after
construction
work
as
well
as
tree
planting
and
finally
I'd
like
to
move
a
motion
to
delete
recommendation
203,
which
is
an
attempt
to
close
our
constituency
offices
in
the
inner
suburbs,
where
they're
vitally
important,
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
a
budget
cheep
Crawford
for
the
remarkable
work
he's
done
on
this
package.
I
like
to
thank
the
Budget
Committee
and,
of
course,
our
finance
staff.
J
J
When
you
look
at
the
various
departments
that
are
under
my
committee,
receive
dramatic
investments,
shelters
were
sheltering
more
people
than
ever
before,
we're
saving
more
lives
than
ever
before
and
we're
providing
more
support
services
in
conjunction
with
the
provincial
government
than
ever
before
and
Children
Services.
We
are
on
the
road.
J
It's
not
now
creating
more
spaces
than
ever
before,
more
subsidies
than
ever
before,
making
sure
that
families
with
with
children
have
various
options
before
them,
either
to
return
to
the
workforce
to
go
back
to
school,
so
that
there's
no
there's
no
closed
doors,
there's
no
glass
ceilings
and
in
recreation.
I
can
also
say
that
we've
had
more
expansion
of
our
recreation
programs
with
20,000
new
spaces.
Our
pfr
staff
have
done
a
remarkable
job
at
making
sure
that
we
were
building
capacity
across
our
system
and,
of
course,
we
have
more
froat
free
programming
than
ever
before.
J
These
investments
as
well
as
many
others,
are
crucial
to
make
the
city
livable
to
attract
people
from
all
over
the
world
who
want
to
settle
here
to
make
sure
our
community
is
safe
or
secure
to
make
sure
that
the
homeowners
have
their
houses
protected
through
flooding,
Mitigation,
making
sure
that
we're
very
aggressive,
enhancing
and
expanding
our
park
system
preserving
our
ravine
system
and
making
sure
that
tree
planting
remains
robust.
These
are
the
things
that
that
make
a
strong
city.
J
The
package
before
you
is
it's
very
strong
in
that
regard,
and
I
just
wanted
to
once
again
commend
all
the
people
behind
it.
I
left
out
the
mayor,
my
first
go-around
and
thanked
the
mayor
very
much
for
supporting
what
I
think
is
a
very
responsible
budget
which
is
very
strong
when
it
comes
to
city
building
and
will
set
the
pace
for
years
to
come.
Thank
you.
E
J
A
message
the
message
I
got
back
was
that
its
cost
and
revenue
neutral
and
no
offset
is
needed.
How's
it
how's
it
revenue,
neutral.
Sorry,
it's
cost
neutral,
cost
neutral
and
that's
that's
the
answer.
I
got
back,
I
mean
what
the
real
issue
is.
Is
the
inner
suburbs?
No,
no,
that's
sorry,
sorry
not
to
interrupt,
but
the
issue
is
what
the
cost
is
and
I
understand
how
its
cost
neutral,
I
understand
where
you're
coming
from
I
understand
but
I'm.
Simply
this
is
a
budget.
We're
talking
much
to
understand
the
cost
implications.
J
J
K
K
A
L
L
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker.
I
do
have
a
motion:
the
City
Council
director,
deputy
city
manager,
chief
financial
officer
report
to
the
April
17
2018
executive
committee,
meeting
on
reinstating
the
personal
vehicle
tax,
as
described
in
Municipal
Code
Chapter,
seven,
six,
five,
with
the
examination
of
implementing
a
decrease
fee
for
hybrid
and
electric
vehicles
and
an
exemption
of
residents
aged
65
and
older,
and
that
this
revenue
will
be
dedicated
to
improving
the
TTC
service
capacity
and
to
general
road
maintenance
and
upkeep
now.
L
I
know
as
long
as
I've
been
here,
we
have
been,
or
some
of
us
been
wanting
to
bring
back
the
personal
vehicle
tax.
We
heard
from
a
city
manager
today
that
this
is
something
we
can
do,
and
we
can
do
it
immediately
without
going
anywhere
in
2010
the
last
full
year.
This
was
in
place.
We
bought
it
bought
in
48
million
dollars.
So
my
belief
is
my
first
budget.
L
My
staff
come
in
by
TTC
one
couldn't
get
to
work
today,
because
the
buses
weren't
running
she
was
also
stuck
on
st.
John.
Well,
it
was
on
Jane
Street,
so
there
was
no
bus
at
that
point.
She
was
also
stuck
at
st.
George
subway
on
that
first
they
went
everything
which
ones
could
go
wrong
did
go
wrong.
She
said
it
was
terrifying.
When
she
texted
me
I,
said
watch,
says:
I
can't
get
out
of
a
subway.
L
L
This
is
the
first
year
go
moving
forward
that
the
city
will
be
paying
for
crossing
guards.
I
hope
that,
with
this,
that
our
local
Police
Department
no
longer
have
to
step
in
when
a
crossing
guard
is
on
vacation
or
crossing
guard
is
sick,
but
I
know
we
can
reallocate
these
officers
to
traffic
enforcement.
A
lot
of
our
residents
say
to
us.
L
You
heard
me
asking
questions
of
the
park
staff
regarding
the
parks.
Ambassador
I
feel
that
this
is
a
very
important
program
which
we
should
be
enhancing.
As
you
also
heard
this
program
started
downtown
several
years
ago,
because
we
had
a
lot
of
homeless
people
living
in
our
parks
downtown.
This
is
now
spread.
As
you
know,
I
look
after
High,
Park
I
represent
High
Park
area.
We
have
men
and
women
who
live
in
the
park.
L
They
have
nowhere
else
to
go,
and
these
ambassadors
go
into
our
parks
and
they
meet
with
these
people
and
they
don't
kick
them
out.
They
work
with
them
to
meet
with
streets,
to
homes,
to
meet
with
other
community
groups
who
can
help
them
find
accommodation,
help
them
find
employment,
get
them
into
a
shelter
one
person
and
a
couple
of
part-time
people
miss
summer
are
not
enough
to
do
this.
We
need
to
enhance
that
program.
I
would
just
also
like
to
thank
all
the
staff
who
have
put
together
this
budget.
I
would
like
to
thank
counts.
L
The
Crawford
and
I
may
not
have
been
up
all
your
budget
meetings,
but
I
was
listening
to
you
and
I
ran
in
when
I
had
some
input.
So,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
your
your
the
way.
You've
handled
the
budget
for
the
last
four
years,
I
really
appreciate
that
I
also
want
to
thank
the
energy
environment
staff
for
working
food
transform
tio.
This
is
something
we
should
have
done
years
ago,
but
now
we
are
going
to
do
it.
We
are
going
to
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is.
L
We
are
looking
forward
to
the
future.
We
are
going
to
make
this
about
a
city
for
people
to
live.
As
you
heard
me
say
in
part,
one
of
today's
meeting
I
do
have
some
concerns
about
this
election
budget,
this
band-aid
budget
and
this
unsustainable
budget,
and
we
will
have
to
deal
with
that
this
time
next
year
when
we
sit
in
this
council
chamber.
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker.
Thank
you.
M
See
thank
you.
Madam
Speaker
I
have
a
motion
on
the
screen
that
City
Council
increased
parks,
forestry
and
recreations
2018
executive
committee
recommended
operating
budget
by
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
better
meet
service
needs
in
2018
by
adding
one
permanent
full-time
parks,
ambassador
three
seasonal
positions
and
increasing
all
seasonal
positions
from
six
to
nine
months,
and
that
the
increased
expenditure
be
offset
by
a
contribution
from
the
tax
rate
stabilization
reserved.
M
These
staffing
levels
would
allow
for
three
crews,
including
one
dedicated
crew,
to
respond
outside
of
the
downtown,
as
we
all
know
that
this
is
a
citywide
issue.
This
program
is
critical
to
providing
safe
parks
and
ravines
throughout
our
city.
I
wanted
to
bring
it
up
as
a
motion
because
I'm
very
passionate
about
this
program.
It
is
most
effective
in
out
reaching
to
our
homeless
and
keeping
our
parks
and
ravines
very
safe.
M
So
I'll
give
you
some
background
on
the
park
ambassador
position
because
in
2003
as
a
parks,
manager
of
community
engagement,
I
created
this
position
in
2003
when
we
had
to
deal
with
the
ongoing
issues
in
wards,
20,
27
and
28
on
the
whole
on
homeless.
So
I
wanted
it
to
be,
in
fact
a
homeless
outreach
worker,
but
it
end
up
being
titled
the
parks
ambassador,
because
I
don't
think
the
city
was
ready
for
that
title
at
the
time
in
2004.
M
It
was
so
successful
that
we
increase
that
FTE
to
two
FTEs
and
for
seasonal,
and
it
still
was
only
for
those
three
downtown
locations
in
2008.
This
initiative
won
the
gold
award
from
the
province
of
Ontario,
and
it
was
also
the
initiative
that
gave
other
divisions,
the
thought
of
creating
streets
to
homes
initiative
in
2009.
M
M
We
need
to
get
back
to
that
because
the
numbers
in
which
the
parks
ambassadors
are
reporting
is
just
increasing,
especially
last
year
in
this
year,
we're
seeing
such
high
volumes
of
homeless
in
our
parks
and
people
in
camping
in
our
ravines.
So
I'd
ask
for
your
consideration
for
this
motion.
Thank
you.
C
You
speaker
we're
just
last
minute
check
here
with
the
clerk's,
but
I've
got
two
motions
if
I
could
just
get
them
on
the
screen
all
right.
So
the
first
is
a
change
to
11
point
1
million
dollars
in
funding
related
to
the
two-hour
transfer
and
it's
basically
the
effect
of
the
motion
is
to
ask
the
TTC
to
fund
that
through
fares
and
I'll.
C
And
what
happens
if
the
real
estate
market
makes
a
change
and
I
I
wonder
if
there's
a
better
way
to
structure
some
of
the
policy
around
that
I'm
not
going
to
try
to
do
that.
On
the
council
floor,
I'm
gonna
ask
the
CFO
and
the
city
manager
to
come
back
in
time
and
think
about
how
we
can
do
that,
and
I
would
really
ask
councillors
to
think
about
how
we
match
em
l
TT
spending
to
something
that
is
more
scalar
so
that
we
can
protect
herself
I'll.
C
Go
back
to
the
original
motion
on
on
the
TTC.
I
asked
some
questions
here
about
the
briefing
note
about
how
some
of
the
ridership
numbers
were
calculated.
I
use
the
TTC
a
lot
I've
done
this
for
a
long
long
time
when
I
travel
from
the
West
End
into
the
city,
I
can
say
in
like
25
years.
There
are
very
few
instances
when
I've
ever
tried
to
make
multiple
stopovers
I
find
I.
C
Do
it
at
a
business
at
either
end
of
my
route,
but
not
necessarily
in
the
middle,
so
I'm
really
having
a
hard
time
understanding
how
the
estimates
were
generated
and
they
had
some
information
that
came
up
here,
but
I'll
take
the
staffs
argument
about
presto
being
very,
very
complicated.
You
swipe
your
card
at
one
spot,
you
transfer
vehicles,
you
swipe
again
and
I
know
I've
done
this
many
times
and
I
kind
of
scratch.
My
head
wondering
you
know,
as
if
I'd
been
double
charged,
is
the
policy
working
you
know?
C
Does
the
computer
smart
enough
to
know
that
I'm
making
a
transfer
there
hasn't
been
a
delay
and
so
I
understand
the
component
of
the
briefing
note
that
talked
about
that
it,
but
maybe
there's
just
an
easier
way
to
make
this
work,
but
I
don't
necessarily
agree
the
arguments
that,
for
some
reason
the
tax
base
suddenly
has
to
take
up
all
the
risk
on
this
or
has
to
fund
this.
You
know
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
of
enhancement
for
a
few
people
that
might
use
it
a
few
times
a
month.
C
If
you
multiply
three
dollars
times,
you
know
forty
rides
a
month
for
your
average
commuter,
that's
a
hundred
and
twenty
dollars
and
there's
a
small
Delta
there
between
120
and
140
$5
for
a
Metro
pass
or
a
hundred
and
thirty
four
dollars.
If
you're
on
the
metro
pass
discount
plan,
so
you're
really
talking
about
a
saving
of
a
few
dollars
there
and
you
know,
I-
think
the
the
proper
way
to
do
that
is
to
have
it
through
the
fare
system
and
to
look
for
opportunities
for
savings
through
the
TTC.
C
You
know,
I
asked
you
know
what
was
the
last
fare
increase,
what
was
ten
cents
and
the
number
I
got
I
think
was
thirty
seven
million
dollars.
So
if
the
cost
of
this
program
is
twenty
million
dollars,
if
the
assumptions
are
all
right,
you
know
we're
talking
like
three
cents
this
year
and
another
three
cents
the
following
year
and
I.
Don't
think
that's
a
lot
to
ask.
C
You
know
users
of
the
TTC
I,
don't
mind
paying
three
cents
to
know
that
I
can
hop
off
every
now
and
then
I,
don't
think
I'm
going
to
do
it
very
often
they
don't
think
a
lot
of
people
are
going
to
do
it
very
often
because
if
you're
in
that
mode
of
transit,
where
you're
hopping
on
and
hopping
off
and
running
errands,
you
probably
already
have
a
Metro
pass.
So
you
know
that's
the
logic
behind
the
request
and
I.
C
N
C
It's
not
a
net
change,
it
would
be
to
connect
the
capital
components
of
the
budget
on
a
larger
scale.
So
I
understand
I
think
it's
only
40
million
dollars
right
now
and
my
suspicion
is.
If
we
talk
to
the
CFO,
it
might
be
a
bit
healthier
to
have
a
larger
band
of
capital
associated
with
the
MLT
t.
It
still
I
think,
would
be
a
net
0
of
the
budget
exercise
and.
C
B
C
B
F
Oh,
my
thank
you
that
was
faster
than
I
thought.
I
do
have
a
four
part
motion
that
are
linked
to
the
poverty
reduction
strategy.
The
first
piece
is
around
employment
within
our
own
cities
of
Fire
Department.
If
you're
on,
if
you
were,
if
ever
been
to
see
DNR
for
the
past
of
six
months,
we've
talked
a
lot
about
the
need
to
do
a
review
to
make
sure
that
people
from
our
neighborhood
improvement
areas
get
some
of
the
firefighter
jobs.
A
systems
review
is
necessary.
F
That
was
actually
in
appendix
three
point
four,
as
one
of
the
asks
that
wasn't
funded
yet
so
this
puts
it
in,
but
it's
Net
Zero
asking
the
fire
department
to
find
the
resources
from
within
the
second
one.
Us
is
a
a
tanto
of
Public
Health
of
a
program,
an
ambassador
program
to
help
vulnerable
to
match
and
match
professionals
with
youth
in
vulnerable
communities,
and,
frankly,
it's
a
very
small
dollars.
F
The
key
there
is
is
that
once
the
public
health
finds
an
alternative
funding
source
that
that
pressure
on
our
budget
will
disappear,
the
next
two
I'd
asked
staff
to
keep
putting
it
on.
So
I
can
remember
it.
Oh
yes,
one
is
what
is
the
swim
to
survive?
That's
a
one
hundred
fifty
four
thousand
one
hundred
fifty
four
thousand
dollars
phase
four.
F
So
staff
in
questioning
during
the
budget
process
indicated
that
they
were
able
to
do
phase
4,
which
would
increase
the
number
of
people
number
of
grade
four
kids,
who
would
learn
how
to
swim
from
twelve
thousand
five
hundred
to
fifteen
thousand
five
hundred?
Why
is
this
so
important?
Imagine
living
in
a
country
where
we
have
the
25%
of
the
fresh
water
of
the
world,
and
yet
not
all
of
our
children
can
swim.
F
There
was
that
terrible
case
of
that
young
boy
who
died
from
from
from
us
from
not
being
able
to
swim,
guys
just
hold
on
SEC,
but
not
being
able
to
swim,
and
this
would
this
program
would
ensure
that
every
grade,
while
once
it's
fully
phased
in
all
22,000
grade,
four
kids
would
be
able
to
learn
how
to
how
to
swim.
Just
four
lessons:
it's
a
very,
very
basic
program
and
the
last
one
is
around
around
community
benefits
officer
who
would
assist
in
the
development
of
our
procurement
strategy
and
social
benefits
strategy.
F
One
of
the
things
that,
in
the
call
it
the
anti-poverty
movement
that
folks
are
coming
to
recognize,
is
that
the
first
and
strongest
defense
around
anti-poverty
is,
as
many
most
of
us
around
here
left
right
center
would
agree.
It's
a
job,
it's
a
job.
What
do
we
have
here
at
the
City
of
Toronto?
By
way
of
jobs?
We
have
our
own
direct
jobs,
but
we're
major
major
procures
of
everything,
from
nuts
and
bolts
to
sidewalk,
repair
to
construction,
jobs
and
so
on,
and
so
on
and
so
on.
F
We
need
to
use
that
procurement
in
a
way
that
ensures
that
at
least
some
of
those
jobs
go
towards
apprentices
and
jobs
for
people
in
in
more
marginalized
communities.
Metrolinx
has
done
it
in
along
Eglinton
with
the
Eglinton
connects
project.
Our
staff
are
doing
it.
This
helps
to
speed
up
that
work
by
adding
that
staff
person
this
year,
as
opposed
to
next
year
or
the
following
year.
It
allows
us
to
go
a
little
faster
on
that
piece
of
work
so
that
we
hit
the
ground
in
2019
running.
F
F
You
very
much
madam
Speaker
I
do
have
a
motion
and
I
think
it's
good
news,
I
think
it's
the
motions
been
circulated.
It's
actually
received
$500,000
from
the
Department
Department
of
Canadian
Heritage,
and
this
funds
will
be
used
to
replace
the
roof
of
the
st.
Lawrence
Center
and
the
details
as
in
trela.
It's
also
to
be
used
as
well
to
supplement
some
work
to
be
done
at
the
guild.
The
details
in
recommendation
number
two
Speaker
I
rise
to
support
this
budget,
but
I
do
so
reluctantly.
F
As
you
know,
in
the
past,
I
would
ask
for
the
police
portion
of
the
budget
to
be
separated.
However,
your
ruling
this
morning
prevents
that
from
happen.
It's
my
understanding
in
terms
of
how
the
clerk
has
explained
the
matter
to
me.
So,
while
I
will
support
the
budget,
I
simply
wanted
to
address
the
issue,
as
it
relates
to
the
Police
Service
budget.
That
I
normally
would
not
be
supporting
either
the
budget
for
the
board
itself,
nor
the
service
and
so
on
and
I
won't
get
into
the
particulars
of
that.
F
But
it
is
that
I
do
believe
that
more
can
be
done
and
better
can
be
done
as
it
relates
to
that
particular
budget.
As
you
know,
I
have
spent
a
lot
of
time
with
this
particular
subject
matter,
and
so
I
am
supporting
the
vision,
zero
I'm
supporting
you
know
the
affordable
housing
aspects
of
the
budget,
I'm
supporting,
obviously,
more
funding
for
shelters,
the
TTC
roads,
I'm
a
support,
counselor
holidays
motion.
F
I
think
this
particular
budget
strikes
that
particular
balance
funding
for
Public
Health
and
also
the
new
staffing
that
is
being
added
to
this
budget,
and
we
have
heard
that
it
is
not
for
senior
staff
who
are
going
to
get
cars
and
other
things
like
that
in
terms
of
the
loves
you
before
that
from
the
city
manager
and
so
on,
and
so
those
reasons
I
can
actually
support.
This
particular
budget
I
believe
that
the
area
in
terms
of
transportation
and
I
gather
that
there
will
be
some
more
motions
coming
forward
may
pertaining
to
that.
I'm.
E
I
would
start
by
acknowledging
that
as
part
of
this
budget,
as
compared
to
last
year,
when
I
rose
to
speak,
there
have
been
some
noticeable
improvements
in
all
flag.
One
on
TCH
see
that,
whereas
last
year,
TCH
see
was
closing
units
that
we
were
actually
closing
down
units
in
our
housing
stock
this
year,
due
to
an
infusion
of
city
funds
that
we
are
backing
it
up
ourselves.
Those
units
are
not
closing.
E
In
fact,
we
are
now
repairing
units
and
I
want
to
recognize
that
and
and
note
the
work
of
councillor
deputy
mayor
by
Lao
on
that
front
and
the
other
has
to
do
with
shelters
that,
whereas
in
the
past
last
year,
in
fact,
we
were
having
a
big
debate
about
whether
or
not
to
cut
shelter
staff.
This
year
we
are
making
critical
and
important
investments
to
open
more
beds.
E
Sooner
and
I
noticed
councillor
long
Thames
motion
to
speed
that
up
which
I'm,
supportive
of
and
I
also
want
to
recognize
the
budget,
Chiefs
support
for
those
measures,
and
so
on.
Those
two
fronts
on
shelters
and
TCH
see
those
are
significant
and
I
would
be
unfair
to
everybody
here,
not
to
acknowledge
them
and
thank
those,
but
on
the
whole,
notwithstanding
some
of
those
significant
investments
on
the
whole.
This
budget
still
makes
life
more
unaffordable
for
Torontonians,
and
this
has
nothing
to
do
with
taxes
being
kept
alone.
E
That
I
heard
in
in
my
communications
with
my
constituents
at
the
joint
Town
Hall,
I
hosted
with
councilor
leighton.
I
heard
from
my
constituents
that
for
the
181
thousand
people
on
the
waiting
list
for
affordable
housing,
this
budget
is
still
unaffordable,
that
for
the
197
thousand
people,
197
thousand
people
on
the
waiting
list
for
recreation
budget
for
the
recreation
list,
this
budget
is
still
unaffordable.
We
might
have
added
twenty
thousand,
but
there's
still
one
hundred
and
ninety
thousand
on
the
waiting
list
that
for
the
twelve
thousand
people
still
waiting
for
childcare.
E
Notwithstanding
the
improvements
we've
made,
that's
still,
twelve
thousand.
This
is
unaffordable,
and
so
on
so
many
metrics
in
the
city,
you
could
say-
and
we
are
doing
very
well-
but
with
rising
poverty,
this
city's
harder
for
the
most
vulnerable
and
for
renters
and
property
owners.
I
would
argue
that
the
lack
of
access
to
city
services
is
actually
making
it
a
lot
harder
to
live
here,
and
so
it
is
not,
and
it
is
absolutely
not
taxes
that
are
making
this
city
unaffordable.
E
Fraga
Dacus
and
may
have
achieved
a
bunch,
but
I
desperately
hope
that
next
year,
in
the
next
term,
that
we'll
have
a
little
more
courage
in
this
council
that
will
actually
make
the
investments
that
are
going
to
improve
the
lives
of
Torontonians
as
opposed
of
making
the
easy
political
decisions
that
we
assume
is
going
to
make
our
elections
easier,
because
Torontonians
deserve
a
lot
better
than
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
K
Yes,
speaker
I'm,
just
going
to
move
that
motion
that
I
earlier
that
I
couldn't
move
under
the
part
one
and
that's
just
to
look
at
making
a
pretty
strong
advocacy
for
fifty
percent
funding
from
the
provincial
government.
Going
back
to
the
days
when,
just
back
to
the
day
when
this
was
the
modus
operandi
of
the
TTC
did
not
make
one
talking
about
our
housing.
K
That
I
think
we're
all
looking
for,
particularly
the
transform
teal
and
such
an
important
program.
I
was
disappointed
last
year
when
it
wasn't
funded,
but
I
think
we're
on
a
good
path.
In
my
ward
and
across
the
city,
people
are
really
rising
to
the
challenge
of
climate
change,
they're
very
interested
and
are
very
exciting
and
vigorous
program
with
hiring
people
to
go
out.
Let
unleash
the
power
of
Torontonians
to
meet
the
challenge
of
climate
change.
J
You,
madam
Speaker
I,
just
rise
today
to
ask
counsel
not
to
support
counselor
Pasternak's
motion
for
C.
Regarding
the
counselor
offices,
these
satellite
offices,
we
talked
about
making
hard
choices
and
squeezing
every
last
dollar
out
of
everything
we
do.
But
that
includes
us
too.
It's
not
just
for
our
departments.
It
includes
us,
but
it's
it's
worse
than
then
being
somewhat
hypocritical.
In
my
opinion,
it's
also
what
are
the
message
we're
sending
we're
saying
to
people?
J
We
have
no
problem
spending
up
to
seventeen
thousand
dollars
a
year
per
office,
almost
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
collectively
when
most
of
these
offices
they
aren't
open
five
days
a
week,
half
the
time,
they're
dark.
So
what
we're
saying
is
we
have
no
problem
spending
$200,000
a
year
money
to
be
open
part
time,
I.
Think
that's
the
wrong
message,
I!
Think.
If
we're
ever
asking
all
our
departments
to
tighten
their
belts,
we
need
to
do
the
same.
O
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
Speaker
I.
First
off
I,
don't
know,
and
I
may
have
missed
it.
If
we've
haven't
gotten,
the
first
is
of
what
I'm
sure
there
will
be
many
accolades
for
our
budget
chief
counselor
Crawford
through
this
I
had
the
the
honor
and
I'd
like
to
thank
Mary.
Torre
I
had
the
honor
of
an
hour
striking
committee
of
serving
with
the
budget
chief
for
for
the
last
three
years.
O
Save
this
last
budget
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
how
refreshing
it
was
how
easy
it
was
to
approach
the
budget
chief
and
and
I
think
a
genuine
desire
to
try
to
find
places
where
we
agree
and
find
places
where
we
could
both
say.
Yes,
that's
a
good
use
of
public
funds.
Yes,
that's
a
good
investment
and
I
like
to
thank
him
for
that,
because
well
we
could
disagree.
There
was
a
willingness
and
a
desire
to
find
that
common
ground.
O
A
O
Thank
you
very
much.
Madam
Speaker
I
will,
though,
say
that
I
have
some
trouble
with
how
the
budget
was
characterized.
An
executive
committee
and
I
I
did
kind
of
with
my
tongue
in
my
cheek
made
some
comments
earlier
about
how
how
we
used
a
fairy
tale
and
a
children's
story
to
describe
exactly
what
this
budget
represent
represented
but
I
think
it's.
You
can't
call
a
budget
ballads,
fair
or
just
right
when
you're
first
you're
boring
from
from
the
future.
That's
just
not
balanced,
it's
short-sighted
and
then
holding
the
line
on
property
taxes.
O
While
we
rely
on
heavily
on
user
fees,
is
not
fair,
it
only
reinforces
inequality
and
our
divided
city
and
calling
a
budget
where
people
are
still
sleeping
out
on
the
street
as
just
right.
That's
just
dead
wrong,
there's,
no
hot
or
no,
no,
no
too
hot
and
no
too
cold
for
things
like
shelters.
There's!
No,
there's!
No
investment!
That's
too
much
when
you
talk
about
transit
overcrowding,
except
for
perhaps
if
you
look
at
the
mode
of
transit
that
you're
investing
in
which
could
be
vastly
over
building.
O
O
Unfortunately,
though,
often
and
we're
hearing
this
from
our
counterparts
at
Queen's
Park
that
unless
we
show
that
we're
digging
deep
unless
we
show
them
that
we're
willing
to
stick
our
necks
out
and
and
help
talk
to
our
residents
about
the
importance
of
raising
revenue
of
raising
taxes,
unless
we
do
that,
they're
not
going
to
come
to
the
table
with
us,
they're
not
going
to
put
their
necks
out
when
we're
not
willing
to
do
the
same.
And
earlier
I
talked
about
the
mayor's
famous
goldilocks
speech
and
I
talked
about
half-measures.
O
Well
again,
when
we
have
the
list
of
the
waiting
list
for
our
affordable
housing
the
length
that
it
is
and
we're
not
prepared
to
make
the
necessary
investment,
that's
a
half
measure,
that's
not
just
right
when
we
look
at
the
list
of
Chuck
for
childcare
subsidies,
because
people's
monthly
childcare
bills
are
over
$2,000
for
one
child.
That's
not
just
right!
O
O
So
before
we
start
patting
ourselves
on
the
back
before
we
start
saying,
we
found
that
fair
middle
ground.
Let's
look
at
those
great
those
with
the
greatest
need
in
our
city
and
let's
evaluate
well
whether
we
think
it's
either
too
hot
or
too
cold
for
them,
because
the
budgets
not
just
right
when
you
have
people
sleeping
outside
and
waiting
for
housing
and
children
and
families
that
can't
afford
the
childcare
that
they
that
they're,
so
so
desperately
needing,
so
that
they
can
maintain
working
in
the
workforce
and
contributing
to
the
greatness
of
our
city.
Thank
you.
O
A
B
Madam
Speaker
I'm
very
grateful
to
all
of
the
staff,
particularly
divisional
staff,
that
that
met
with
budget
committee
members.
We
we
don't
make
it
easy
for
them
to
meet
the
rules.
We
we
have
to
meet
in
little
little
groups
of
to
never-never
to
achieve
quorum,
and
we
we
ask
a
lot
of
them
in
that
regard,
and
I
got
the
impression
that
it
was
a
particularly
soul-sucking
exercise
for
them.
This
year,
they'd
like
to
improve
every
year,
they
come
to
committees
and
they
they
hear
us
deliberate
over.
B
What
would
make
things
better,
but
they're
asked
to
meet
the
target,
and
so
they
present
a
budget
with
nothing
in
it,
but
the
status
quo
and
and
some
more
attrition
ever
more
attrition,
and
then
we
are
the
heroes
who
using
bridging
strategies
and
one-time
money,
add
back
in
those
things.
Making
them
look
kind
of
kind
of
mean-spirited
at
lunch
and
I
know
that
they
know
what
are
what
are
the
things
needed
that
are
needed
in
their
division.
They'd
include
them
themselves
if
we
weren't
so
Universal
in
setting
targets.
B
That
being
said,
I
thank
them
for
that
work,
and
here
we
are
I'm.
Only
going
to
speak
to
the
two
things
that
that
have
been
my
focus
based
on
committees,
I've,
been
on
counselor
Pasternak
has
moved
to
a
motion
to
do
with
participatory
budgeting.
I
daresay
you'll
probably
pass
it,
but
I
do
hope
that
that
what
counselors
will
do
is
pay
close
attention
to
staffs
recommendations
vote
how
to
proceed
with
it
when
they
bring
a
report
in
May.
It
is
a
very
complex,
rather
time-consuming,
an
incredibly
wonderful
thing
to
do,
but
it
is
time-consuming.
B
You
won't
be
able
to
simply
come
back
from
the
hustings
December
1st
and
bam.
Do
a
process
lay
it
down
with
with
voted
on
projects
in
a
launch
in
January,
but
it
is
the
future
of
helping
communities
to
understand
how
it
is
we
do
what
we
do
why
it
costs
what
it
costs.
You
won't
have
goofier
like
the
staircase,
the
infamous
staircase
of
last
summer,
once
people
have
that
kind
of
understanding
of
how
we
do
small
capital
and
how
we
spend
money
in
their
ward,
councillor
Mammalia
said
people
were
upset
about.
B
Why
not
our
slide
or
swingset
or
whatever.
In
fact,
participatory
budgeting
is
the
key
to
understanding
that,
but
rather
than
go
just
on
this
and
set
off
a
chain
reaction
of
me
to
itis,
take
staffs
recommendations
in
May
that
are,
after
this
budget
process,
about
how
you
will
proceed
with
that
in
nineteen,
twenty
and
beyond.
The
only
other
thing
I
will
speak
to
is
the
police
services
budget,
Toronto,
Police,
Services
budget
I
know
that
many
have
been
lobbied.
B
There's
lots
of
rumors
and
and
carry
on
one
of
my
colleagues,
councillor
Chris
ante
asked
a
number
of
questions
of
concern.
You
are.
You
are
adopting
a
budget
that
for
the
third
year
in
a
row
and
for
the
first
time
ever
since
since
Shep
was
a
pup,
as
my
dad
likes
to
say,
we
are
able
to
flatline
these
budgets
and
yes,
there
is
attrition
and
yes,
the
way
we
police
is
going
to
change,
and
so
you
should
expect.
It
should
come
as
no
surprise
that
the
police
union
is
not
happy
about
that.
B
That's
what
we
want,
but
we
are
going
through
this
period
of
time
where
I
know
that
as
budget
approaches,
I
could
hear
it
in
Mike,
my
colleague,
councillor
croissant
I
have
questions
when
people
call
everything
is
prefaced
with.
Well,
we
don't
have
the
resources,
but
the
reality
is
the
squad.
Car
is
gonna
drive
by
and
look
at
that
look
at
that
situation.
The
reality
is,
every
division
is
remodeling
how
they
respond,
but
they
are
in
fact
responding
and
the
crime
rates
show
it
absolutely
show
it,
and
all
you
have
to
do
is
open
the
dashboard.
B
I
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker
I
also
want
to
start
off
by
thanking
our
staff
for
the
work
that
they
have
done
on
the
budget
budget
chief
counselor,
Jerry
Crawford,
but,
more
importantly,
the
residents
who
participated
in
giving
their
input
took
the
time
and
and
came
to
our
budget
consultation
and
gave
their
input
I'm
going
to
be
supporting
this
budget
because
I
think
this
budget.
But
it
is
about
a
vision
of
the
city.
I
think
this
budget
doesn't
go
far
enough,
but
at
least
it
signals
where
a
city
should
be
heading.
I
It
has
everything
in
it
bit
by
bit,
but
not
far
enough,
but
at
least
it
is
communicating
to
people
that
you
know.
Vision.
Zero
is
important
that
the
pedestrian
safety
is
an
important
investment
to
make,
but
it
doesn't
go
far
enough
to
speed
it
up
in
a
way
that
we
would
like
it
to
be.
It
is
actually
making
TTC
more
affordable
by
making
sure
that
we
have
the
to
our
transfer
class
and
the
income
based
transit
fare
the
shelter
and
housing
investment
that
we
are
seeing
is
encouraging,
though
it
doesn't
go
far
enough.
I
The
library
I
was
in
in
my
neighborhood,
a
lot
of
folks
cannot
go
to
the
library,
cannot
take
the
kids
to
the
library
on
on
a
weekday
because
they
get
home,
probably
around
8
o'clock
from
work.
So
we
kind
of
us
are
very
important,
so
a
few
more
libraries
or
being
opened
in
the
weekend
is
amazing.
A
Malvern
getting
a
youth
up
is
an
amazing
thing
to
happen.
To
transform
to
your
funding,
which
many
activists
who
came
here
and
advocate
for
for
a
complete
funding
of
it
is
a
proactive
thing.
I
One
of
my
best
pieces
here
is
that
for
the
first
time
that
the
City
Council
not
only
acknowledges
anti
anti
black
racism
exes
but
actually
puts
money
where
the
mouth
is
in
investing
not
not
not
not
enough.
Definitely,
but
it's
a
significant
investment
towards
not
only
creating
programs
for
people
in
our
city,
but
also
looking
at
internally
how
best
we
can
become
more
inclusive,
and
how
do
we
deal
with
anti
black
racism?
Even
within
our
corridors
of
power
student
nutrition
program
is
a
former
teacher.
I.
I
Can
I
can
be
very
proud
that
we
are
starting
to
look
at
more
investment
in
this,
so
I
I
would
support
the
budget
for
these
reasons,
but
I
actually
want
to
say
that
you
know
it
is
very
important
for
us
to
keep
things
in
perspective.
You
know
the
report
I
talked
about
earlier
from
social
planning.
Toronto
that
says
promises
promises
in
a
in
a
you
know:
11.11
billion
dollar
budget.
Thirty,
odd
million
dollars
would
actually
complete
many
of
our
promises
made
in
that.
I
So
it's
very
important
for
us
to
make
that
extra
step
to
make
all
of
our
committment
fully
funded,
and
it's
very
important
that
that
we
look
at
revenue.
Tools
include
including
taxes
in
addition
to
our
inflation,
so
I
will
be
supporting
some
of
the
motions
that
are
coming
forward.
That
makes
this
budget
go
far.
One
of
the
examples
would
be
the
thousand
beds
well
counselor,
christine
wong
times
request
to
make
sure
that
we
speed
up.
We
find
ways
to
speed
up
the
process
to
get
the
thousand
beds
that
we
need
for
shelter.
I
The
other
one
is
is
to
you
know,
have
quite
a
theory
budget.
The
budget
process
we've
always
come
back
and
talked
during
budget
process
as
to
why
this
is
inadequate.
I
think,
council
of
long
times,
requests
for
gender,
responsive
budgeting
and
counselor
fashion
acts
request
for
participative
budgeting,
a
good
ways
for
us
to
commit.
While
we
go
through
this
process
all
day
to
say
that
we
will
be
committing
to
improving
the
process
as
we
move
forward.
I
What
I
won't
be
supporting
is
is
the
motion
by
by
my
good
who
wants
to
bring
back
the
vehicle
registration
tax,
I,
think
vehicle
registration
tax
is
a
regressive
taxation,
even
though
you
put
in
sixty
five-plus
in
there.
There
are
young
people
who
need
the
needed
as
much
as
fifteen
years,
and
some
of
young
people
have
less
money
than
the
seniors.
So
you
know
it's
arbitrary
kind
of
connections
to
hybrid
vehicles
and
and
65
may
not
look
at
it
as
as
as
a
way
to
make
a
vehicle
registration
tax,
more
progressive,
I.
I
Think
for
us
to
make
vehicle
registration
tax
more
progressive.
We
will
have
to
make
sure
that
that
we
have
a
comprehensive
understanding
of
it.
The
other
thing
I
would
like
to
stress
finally
is
the
is
the
concept
of
constituency
office,
I
I
have
a
constituency
office
in
Malvern,
and
it
is
frequented
it's
open
every
day.
In
fact,
it's
also
open
during
weekends.
I
Unlike
the
comments
that
was
made
about
it
being
dark
most
of
the
time
our
young
people
are
coming
in
to
help
with
different
projects
our
residents
are
walking
in
seniors
are
walking
in,
in
fact,
some
parts
of
my
word.
If
I
were
to
have
their
office
in
Scarborough,
Civic
Center,
the
bus
ride
would
be
about
40
minutes
from
the
middle
of
my
ward.
The
bus
ride
would
be
about
20
to
15
minutes
to
get
to
Scarborough,
Civic
Center,
so
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
be
more
accessible.
I
The
money
we
spend
at
these
offices
are
making
more
people
come
to
us,
see
us
and
get
the
help
they
need
and
to
be
able
to
interact
and
be
accessible
to
the
population.
Not
all
councillors
may
need
it
because
they
are
officers
might
be
close
enough
thanks,
but
we
will
definitely
need
it
in
our
area.
Thank.
C
A
K
C
A
A
Yeah,
just
one
sec,
please:
okay,
councillor
Davis,.
K
H
You
very
much
madam
Speaker,
and
if
I
can
ask
the
clerks
that
put
on
the
emotions
onto
the
screen,
there
are
five
of
them,
madam
Speaker.
They
were
placed
on
top
of
everyone's
desk
and
advanced
circulation
almost
five
hours
ago.
So
hopefully,
people
had
a
chance
to
read
them.
I
think
they're,
very
straightforward.
H
The
first
one
is
a
technical
amendment,
moving
some
funds
to
to
a
brand-new,
affordable
housing
project
in
the
local
community
that
I
serve
one
of
them
and
the
second
one
is
probably
going
to
want
a
little
bit
more
scrutiny
and
that's,
of
course,
to
reintroduce
the
vehicle
registration
tax
very
similar.
To
perhaps
what
councilor
Doucet
has
just
done.
I
would
be
directing
the
funds
to
the
TTC
facilities,
ald,
a
requirements
as
well
as
the
expansion
of
transit
services
in
the
inner
suburbs,
as
well
as
a
building
a
sort
of
backfilling.
H
The
the
the
backlog
of
trial
community
housing
motion
numbers
see
is
just
basically
a
request
for
for
a
report
for
more
information
regarding
service
levels,
especially
as
it
pertains
to
3
1
1
calls
in
downtown
Toronto,
especially
for
the
area
served
by
the
sixth-largest
BIA
s.
They've
been
very
impressed
with
the
the
mayor's
holiday
blitz
around
downtown
young
they'd
like
to
see,
if
there's
a
way
for
for
them
to
sort
of
make
sure
the
service
levels
for
all
of
downtown
Toronto.
Is
that
a
suitable
level
motion
D?
H
Many
of
you
will
recognize
as
before.
It
is
the
gender
responsive.
Budgeting
motion
is
to
make
sure
that
we
put
a
gender
equity
lens
over
the
budget
process
in
the
19
2019
process
moving
forward,
madam
Speaker,
these
are
a
lot
of
motions
and
I
want
to
thank
clerks
for
their
assistance
and
staff
for
their
assistance
in
drafting
each
and
every
single
one
of
them.
H
I'm
just
gonna
focus
my
remarks
now
on
probably
just
the
one
item
that
has
taken
up
a
lot
of
time
and
energy
for
the
local
community
that
I
serve,
but
also
for
the
advocacy
of
frontline
workers,
health
care
professionals
for
the
people
who
are
homeless
and
Street
involved.
This
has
been
a
very
trying
trying
winter
and
I
want
to
say
that
for
the
frontline
staff,
including
the
the
staff
who
work
in
s
sha,
including
the
general
manager
and
all
the
Supervisory
staff
and
those
in
management
positions,
we
need
to
tip
our
hat
to
you.
H
This
has
not
been
an
easy
easy
winter
by
any
measurement.
I
think
we
have.
We
have
learned
that
the
the
crisis
around
affordability
in
the
city
has
come
home
to
roost.
There
are
more
and
more
people
living
with
less
and
less,
and
it
is
hitting
us
hard
what
does
hard
look
like?
Well,
we
had
787
people
sleep
in
some
type
of
non
shelter
facility,
as
of
February,
the
8th,
which
is
the
measurement
date
of
last
Friday.
H
That's
almost
800
people,
just
randomly
sleeping
on
on
mats
and
cots
and
whatever
floor
surface
that
may
exist
between
the
out
of
the
code
program
to
the
winter
arrest.
Vets
facilities
that
have
now
popped
up
just
about
everywhere
staff
can
find
those
spaces
what's
really
interesting.
Madam
Speaker
is
as
quickly
as
we
can
open
a
winter
rest
bed.
It
becomes
full
and
madam
Speaker,
the
conditions
are
not
friendly.
H
They
are
not
comfortable,
they
are
actually
not
clean,
they
are
very
dangerous
and
it's
not
because
staff
aren't
doing
a
good
job
because
they
certainly
are,
but
we
have
not
been
proactive
in
the
planning
and
because
we
have
been
reactionary
all
winter
long,
it
meant
that
we
were
moving
things
in
a
somewhat
clumsy
manner.
Don't
take
it
personally.
I
want
everyone
to
understand.
This
is
not
a
judgment
on
staff
and
their
performance,
but
it
is
something
that
we
as
council
have
got
to
own
that
if
we're
gonna
do
this,
we
have
to
do
this
together.
H
There
is
no
other
way
around
this.
We
are
going
to
break
this
summer.
The
summer
break
is
going
to
be
six
months
long.
Our
last
meeting
is
in
July
and
we
will
not
reconvene
as
a
council
of
the
whole
until
2019
January
February,
and
that
the
very
first
meeting
that
we
will
have
the
issue
around
the
shelters
will
be
before
us
again.
H
So
we
do
not
want
to
be
madam
Speaker
in
the
same
position
that
we
were
in
this
summer
or
this
winter.
God
forbid.
If
it
happens
again,
I
know
we
can
do
better.
Madam
Speaker,
because
we've
already
learned
so
much,
the
faith
community
has
come
out
in
a
number
of
press
conferences.
We've
had
doctors
and
nurses
and
health
practitioners
from
all
walks
of
life.
We
had
movie
stars
and
act
and
directors
and
authors
and
just
about
everyone,
was
telling
us
Toronto,
City
Council.
H
You
can
do
better
and
madam
Speaker,
by
way
of
adopting
this
motion,
I
think
we
will
be
doing
better
and
hopefully
empowering
staff
to
do
the
job
that
they
need
to.
Madam
Speaker,
I'm
gonna
save
my
final
comments:
around
gender
responsive
budgeting
I've
mentioned
that
I've
moved
a
similar
motion
in
2016,
2017
and
I'm
doing
again
in
2018.
H
For
whatever
reason,
madam
Speaker,
the
work
is
not
being
done
at
the
staff
level
and
if
we're
going
to
want
to
build
an
equitable
budget,
that's
gonna
be
open,
transparent
and
accountable
and
fair
and
we're
gonna
have
to
do
the
heavy
lifting
when
it
comes
to
equity.
Otherwise,
we
talk
about
equity.
We
talk
we'll
access
and
inclusion
and
we're
not
delivering
it
the
best
way
to
deliver
it.
Madam
Speaker
is
through
the
budget.
H
A
N
For
eight
years
we've
been
ratcheting
down
and
ratcheting
down
and
ratcheting
down
the
level
of
service
we
deliver,
and
it
has
completely
predictable
consequences
because
we
are
spreading
the
same
number
of
dollars
over
a
growing
population.
The
amount
of
services
available
to
each
individual
Torontonian
is
reduced.
As
our
population
grows
and
as
the
demands
on
housing
grow
and
the
price
of
real
estate
climbs,
there
are
people
at
the
low
end
of
the
housing
market
particularly
are
getting
squeezed.
You
heard
the
answers
that
mr.
N
Gavin
gave
when
I
was
asking
about
what's
happening
at
that
lowest
end
in
price-wise
of
our
rental
market.
We
are
losing
units
faster
than
we
are
building
them.
The
private
market
will
never
build
units
for
that
without
public
subsidy
and
we
are
not
offering
public
subsidy
fast
enough
to
be
able
to
replace
the
units
that
are
out
there.
N
What
that
means
to
those
of
us
who
represent
wards
were
a
number
of
people
at
the
lowest
end
of
the
income
spectrum
live
is
that
we
spend
an
awful
lot
of
evenings
going
to
meetings
with
people
who
are
being
legally
evicted
and
who
asked
us:
where
can
we
go?
Where
can
I
get
another
bachelorette
unit
at
$600
a
month?
And
we
have
to
say
there
is
no
such
thing.
N
N
The
real
answer
is
many
people
go
into
our
shelter
system,
they
were
housed
and
now
they
are
not
housed
or
they
leave
Toronto.
All
of
that
was
predictable.
We
have
watched
ourselves
deliberately
create
that
Toronto
with
eight
consecutive
years
of
budgeting
to
help
people
who
own
their
own
homes
only
have
to
pay
at
inflation,
or
in
some
cases
below
was
a
deliberate
choice.
We
choose
chose
to
create
that
crisis.
N
Again,
that's
a
consequence
of
choices
made
by
the
this
administration
and
the
previous
one
sure
we've
you
know,
opened
the
subway
early
on
Sundays
and
let
kids
ride
for
free
and
and
now
we're
talking
about
hopping
on
and
hopping
off,
but
you
know
we're
not
doing
we're,
not
actually
spending
money
in
a
way
that
attracts
people
to
public
transit.
If
those
measures
were
actually
effective,
our
ridership
mr.
mayor
I,
see
you're
shaking
your
head
would
not
be
flat
with
35,000
people
a
year.
N
N
mayor
and
that's
the
do
result
of
deliberately
not
doing
the
one
thing,
the
one
thing
that
would
attract
people
to
transit,
which
is
to
run
more
service
and
that's
the
result
of
eight
years
of
not
buying
more
vehicles
of
not
getting
garages,
not
getting
garages
built
on
time,
delaying
and
delaying
and
delaying
councillor.
Fraga
caucus
has
an
option.
I
hope,
you'll
all
support
it.
You
talk
to
TTC
staff,
they'll,
say
yes,
we're
cleat
constrained.
N
In
the
morning
people
we
have
a
little
bit
more
room
in
the
afternoon
peak
and
as
we
get
more
buses,
there
are
some
being
delivered.
We
can
reduce
the
sparrow
ratio
and
help
backfill
that
we're
providing
worse
services
because
of
deliberate
choices
that
we've
been
making
year.
After
year
at
this
council,
it's
time
to
stop.
R
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker
I
do
have
a
motion
and
it's
requests
that
money
that
was
obtained
during
a
settlement
for
cleanup
costs
of
a
specific
site
to
be
directed
to
that
site.
So
we've
received
the
money.
Some
money
was
to
pay
the
legal
cost
of
the
TTC,
and
this
money
needs
to
be
awarded
to
clean
up
this
site.
I
will
also
want
to
thank
the
Budget
Committee
budget
chief
and
staff,
for
what
is
an
incredible
amount
of
work
that
that
is
put
through
this
this
budget.
R
When
we
talk
for
a
day
or
two
here,
we
literally
are
talking
about.
You
know
ten,
twenty
thirty
million
dollars,
but
the
reality
is
that
the
bulk
of
the
work
has
already
been
done
by
the
budget
committee
and
staff
with
with
input
for
it
for
those
that
participate.
I
I
do
want
to
talk
about
it
about
a
few
items
that
a
few
councillors
have
already
mentioned
in
this
budget,
which
is
really
the
TC
HC
part
of
this
budget.
R
For
the
first
time
ever
since
amalgamation,
this
City
Council
has
acknowledged
that
it
has
a
role
to
play
in
managing
and
and
actually
taking
responsibility
for
the
backlog
that
this
this
Corporation
has.
It
is
the
first
time
in
our
budget
that
we
have
a
line
item
for
Toronto
Community
Housing
we've
secured
mortgages,
we've
facilitated,
we
finance
the
mortgages,
but
now
we're
actually
directly
impacting
this.
Last
year
we
had
18
percent
increase
in
the
operating
budget
of
TCH
C.
We
maintain
that
operating
budget.
R
We
now
have
a
line
item
in
the
capital
repair
backlog
in
our
operating
in
our
capital
budget,
and
we
are
putting
together
a
special
task
force
with
Toronto
Fire
Services
to
tackle
the
Toronto
Community
Housing.
So
I
am
proud
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
here,
because,
finally,
we
are
saying
we
have
a
role
to
play
in
housing.
We've
done
it
through
the
shelter's,
as
it
was
that
it
was
mentioned
in
here
and
and
with
motions
that
are
gonna,
see
that
work
being
sped
up.
R
We've
done
it
through
TCH,
see:
we've
done
it
through
programs
like
the
open
door
and
putting
up
sites
for
sale
that
for
the
first
year
this
this
year,
we've
been
able
to
approve
twelve
twelve
hundred
units,
but
these
issues
cannot
be
solved
on
the
back
of
property
taxes
alone.
I
was
just
taking
a
look
at
a
slide
64
in
the
presentation
and
I
think
I
would
be
Toronto
West.
So
an
average
home
resident
in
my
in
my
in
my
area
pays
forty
eight
hundred
dollars
of
property
taxes.
R
If
land
transfer
tax
had
not
been
introduced
nine
years
ago,
they
would
have
been
paying
twenty
five
percent
more
in
taxes.
They
would
have
been
paying
six
over
the
six
thousand
dollars
today.
If
that
land
transfer
tax
was
not
introduced.
Madam
Speaker
I'm
going
to
be
supporting
councillor
Matt
Lowe's
motion,
because
I
think
we
will
have
that
conversation
later
on
about
the
next
than
the
new
revenue
tools.
R
But
if
we
really
want
to
solve
the
issues
of
housing
of
transit
of
issues,
that
is
of
a
the
magnitude
of
the
city
that
we
have
today,
we
cannot
keep
thinking
that
by
increasing
being
from
two
point,
one
to
two
point:
nine
or
four
percent.
We
are
not
going
to
solve
those
issues.
It
is
not
an
increase
of
a
half
a
percent
that
is
ultimately
gonna
solve.
Also
these
issues,
because
we
need
progressive
revenue
tools.
That's
what
we
need
as
well.
R
We
need
not
only
to
have
the
property
taxes
not
only
to
have
the
land
transfer
tax,
but
we
need
to
have
a
diverse
set
of
tools
that
actually
respond
to
what
the
city
is.
Today
we
are
the
one
of
the
largest
cities
in
North
America,
working
with
the
tools
of
the
the
city
of
300,000
that
we
had
a
few
decades
ago,
and
that's
why,
when
we
come
here
and
talk
about
budgets,
we
can
only
talk
about
another
here,
another
million.
R
E
Will
be
brief,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
congratulate
the
budget
chair
and
the
Budget
Committee
on
an
excellent
job.
I
understand,
after
being
involved
myself
and
budgets
around
this
place
for
over
thirty
years,
how
much
work
goes
into
preparing
the
budget.
I've
heard
some
councillors
talk
today
about
new
strategies
that
been
employed
in
this
budget.
E
To
balance
the
budget
like
pulling
rabbits
out
of
a
hat
I
can
tell
you
I,
didn't
hear
any
strategies
in
this
budget
that
I
haven't
heard
before
I,
don't
know
where
the
idea
of
new
strategies
are
coming
from,
but
they
certainly
don't
exist
in
this
budget.
I've
also
heard
people
talk
about
we're,
not
making
necessary
investments
or
the
budget
isn't
going
far
enough.
Well,
I
can
tell
you
since
1985,
when
I
did
my
first
budget
no
budget
goes
far
enough.
E
You
can
never
satisfy
everything
that
you
need
to
do
in
a
city,
but
you
have
to
look
through
two
lenses.
You
have
to
look
at
the
services
that
you
deliver
and
you
have
to
look
at
the
tax
rate
that
you're
going
to
give
your
citizens
when
you
balance
both
of
those
things.
I
think
this
budget
has
gone
a
long
way
to
satisfy
the
needs
of
Torontonians.
You
know
I,
look
at
the
list
of
new
and
enhanced
there's
54
million
dollars
of
new
and
in
this
budget
somebody
can
correct
me
but
I,
don't
recall
any
budget.
E
A
C
Did
those
two
before
I
address
that
the
I
guess
our
larger
budget?
If
councillors
were
here
when
I
ask
questions
of
staff
in
terms
of
the
autistic
center
council
has
approved
$500,000
to
retrofit,
an
old
industrial
building
in
Scarborough
for
the
autistic
center
to
move
in
the
artistic
center
provides
services
to
over
400
children
and
their
families
that
that
are
dealing
with
autism
staff
said
to
me
that
they
would
normally
do
it
through
a
variance
report,
but
because
the
project
will
be
finished
before
they
can
get
the
budget
committee
and
council.
C
The
second
motion
that
talks
about
keeping
the
current
constituency
services
an
office
budge
for
phones
and
printing
just
allows
those
of
us
counselors
who
want
to
send
out
newsletters
to
our
residents,
who
want
to
continue
to
communicate
with
them
as
much
as
possible
that
we're
able
to
do
that
and
if
you
happen
to
go
on
a
conference
with
FCM
or
some
are
in
Europe,
that
if
there
are
extra
roaming
charges
on
your
cell
phone
that
they
have
that
be
taken
from
the
general
budget.
So
those
are
those
are
the
two
motions
I'm
putting
forward.
C
C
Some
of
us
may
get
beaten
in
the
next
election,
but
this
council
I
think,
has
a
lot
to
be
proud
of
and
I
just
started
going
through
some
of
the
old
but
budget
presentations
by
staff
and
at
first
I
want
to
talk
about
new
buses.
If
you
live
out
in
the
suburbs,
if
you
live
in
Scarborough,
most
of
what
you
see
and
most
of
what
you
get
around
is
a
bus
and
2015
2016
2017
2018.
C
So
there
will
be
at
the
end
of
this
budget
cycle
that
we
approved
today,
80
new
wheel,
trans
buses
that
didn't
exist
three
years
ago,
better
service
to
more
people
in
terms
of
streetcars
and
we
all
grown
when
we
talk
about
the
streetcars,
but
up
until
this
year.
At
the
end
of
this
year,
2017
we've
received
60
new
streetcars
and,
if
all
goes
well,
we
will,
by
the
end
of
18,
because
of
the
work
that
this
council
has
done.
C
C
The
people
today
in
the
arts
and
culture
community
are
getting
five
million
dollars
more
today
in
grants
than
they
did
just
three
years
ago,
when
I
looked
at
the
affordable
childcare
spaces.
If
my
memories,
correct
I,
think
every
single
budget
we've
passed
has
conclude
more
subsidies
and
more
spaces.
Frank.
M
You
very
much
madam
Speaker
and
people
have
talked
about
all
the
great
things
were
doing
with
the
budget
and
I
will
just
emphasize
what
we're
doing
with
our
transformed
tÃo
and
before
I.
Do
that
I
will
talk
about
the
trees
and
just
say
that
people
haven't
spoken
about
the
trees,
who's
speaking
for
the
trees
I
will
because
Glen
usually
does.
M
But
we
are,
people
should
know
that
we
are
of
course
investing
in
our
tree
canopy
we're
expanding
it
and
we're
maintaining
it,
which
is
the
key
thing,
because
we
don't
want
to
just
plant
these
trees
and
leave
them.
So
that
doesn't
help.
So
that
should
be
noted
and
with
transform
tÃo.
We
are
fully
funding
our
climate
change
action
plan.
M
So,
let's
stick
to
that
fact
and
what
we're
doing
is
we're
advancing
all
our
approved
strategies
and
our
three
accelerated
strategies
which
are
mobilizing
low
carbon
neighborhoods,
our
workforce
development
for
high
performance
buildings
and
exploring
the
implications
and
opportunities
with
electric
vehicles.
We
are
hiring
27
new
people
this
year
and
10
in
April
2019
on
the
27.
M
This
year
there
are
12
in
April
coming
up
and
15
in
July,
the
12
in
April
will
be
doing
things
such
as
that
we
work
with
the
better
building
partnerships
and
helping
out
with
retrofits
of
private
sector
buildings,
which
is
what
better
building
partnerships
does
also.
Energy
conservation
demand
management
and
our
help
program.
Our
home
energy
loan
program
that
comes
from
Layton
is
always
happy
to
well.
M
Was
it
partially
his
idea
and
also
continue
to
support
advancement
of
all
the
strategies,
transparent,
EO,
stakeholder
engagement
and
neighborhood
outreach,
because
we
know
it
can't
just
be
top-down
with
environmental
initiatives.
We
need
to
build
that
momentum
and
and
nurture
the
grassroots
communities
who
could
reach
out
to
the
communities
better
than
we
can
and
our
low
carbon
thermal
network,
so
27
new
people
hired
this
year,
10
and
2019,
fully
funded,
transform
tio
and
we've
also
received
$350,000
for
the
province
for
energy
efficiency
and
local
housing
all
right.
So
that
is
something
to
brag
about.
F
You,
madam
Speaker,
it's
getting
a
little
late
in
the
evening,
and
I've
listened
to
my
colleagues
all
day
long,
those
that
want
to
add
more
those
that
want
to
tax
more
those
that
want
to
spend
more
and
those
that
want
to
cut
more
and
I
say
to
you
that
this
is
a
very
difficult
budget.
For
me
in
as
much
as
much
of
what's
in.
F
Every
time
you
look
at
that,
and
we
look
to
the
city
manager,
everybody's
afraid.
It
means
layoffs
or
cuts.
It
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
means
doing
way
smarter,
using
our
resources
better,
allowing
new
technology
to
come
in
better
decision
making.
Think
about
it.
20
years
ago
we
amalgamated
and
we're
still
running
four
separate
districts.
Many
of
them
don't
know
what
the
other
ones
do.
You
look
at
a
park
and
you
talk
about
a
playground.
F
North
District
will
say
we
never
have
that
equipment,
but
South
District
gets
installed
out
in
the
West
End
things
are
dealt
with.
One
way
different
from
the
East
End
building
permits
come
in
for
districts,
and
yet
it's
all
electronic
now
do
you
have
to
have
staff
in
each
district
can
be
be
more
efficient
than
what
we
do.
F
Can
we
be
smarter,
because
if
we
can
be
smarter,
then
we
can
do
better,
but
what
we're
doing
now
is
looking
at
every
dollar
we
can
get
through
the
land
transfer
tax,
which
scares
the
daylight
out
of
me,
because
we
know
it's
going
to
come
to
an
end.
Looking
at
ways
to
use,
reserve
accounts
deferred,
different
types
of
capital,
expenditures
or
payments
into
our
capital
accounts.
F
It's
all
the
things
we've
done
before
and
we
haven't
allowed
our
staff
to
show
us
how
to
do
it
better
because
I
know
them
and
they
know
how
we
could
do
these
things
better,
but
they
need
direction
from
us
as
a
council.
So
I
look
at
a
budget
over
here
and
the
question
came
to
me
when
I
saw
that
an
executive
committee.
What
are
we
doing
and
I
heard
the
mayor
talk
about
a
story
about
them?
The
three
bears
one
too
hard,
one
too
cold,
one
just
right.
F
My
problem
is
that
the
porch
may
be
just
right,
but
the
cupboards
bare.
We
don't
have
anything
else
we
can
take
out
of
the
cupboard
for
more
porridge.
We
have
used
every
single
possible
resource.
We
could
do
to
get
the
cereal
onto
the
table
and
unless
we
find
ways
to
do
things
better,
we're
gonna
be
in
a
big
problem
in
the
future,
and
let
me
tell
you:
people
cannot
afford
to
pay
more
taxes.
I
said
it
earlier
today
they
can't
afford
higher
tax
rates.
F
They
can't
afford
to
pay
that
much
more,
that
you
all
think
the
average
household
in
the
city,
six
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
households
are
valued
at
less
than
a
million
dollars
for
assessment
purposes.
We
don't
have
all
these
wealthy
people
sitting
here.
Only
ninety
six
thousand
are
more
than
a
million
dollars
and
only
15,000
are
more
than
two
million
dollars.
So
when
you
raise
the
residential
tax
rate,
you're
really
hurting
those
people
that
you
want
to
help
the
most.
Q
You
speaker
I
have
three
motions:
they
are
revised.
The
first
one
is
to
essentially
take
the
operating
funding
that
has
been
allocated
to
a
capital
project,
which
is
the
honest
web,
a
childcare
center
and
use
the
childcare
capital
reserve
to
fund
that
capital
project
this
year
and
use
the
funding
that
is
in
the
operating
budget
to
add
an
additional
hundred
and
forty
new
childcare
fee
subsidies,
so
that
it
is
a
net
neutral
in
the
in
because
it
provides
the
necessary
offset.
The
second.
Q
Could
I
have?
The
second
motion
calls
on
the
provincial
government
to
give
us
additional
funding
to
address
childcare
affordability.
They
have
told
us
they're
going
to
do
this,
and
yet
we
have
not
seen
any
money
to
address
affordability
so
far,
and
the
third
motion
asks
us
asked
the
city
manager
when
he
is
bringing
forward
his
report.
That
is
looking
at
the
long
term
financial
direction
report
financing
strategies,
the
imit
report
that
he
also
bring
forward
his
the
multi-year
plans,
service
plans
and
strategies
that
we
have
approved
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
Q
Colleagues
I
so
I
do
want
to
say
if
the
offset
which
I
didn't
have
the
opportunity
last
time
to
also
extend
my
thanks
to
everyone
involved
in
the
budget
process.
I
want
to
thank
the
chair,
Gary
Crawford
and
the
rest
of
the
committee
members
for
always
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
be
present
and
ask
questions
I
wish
they
were
more
inviting
when
it
came
to
motions.
However,
so
while
the
door
is
open,
it's
often
shut
I'm
afraid
for
those
of
us
who
want
to
see
motions
move
forward
to
executive
and
council.
Q
So
here
we
are
I
do
want
to
say
that
this
budget,
from
the
time
it
was
proposed
and
to
what
is
appearing
before
us
today,
has
been
improved
significantly.
There
are
all
of
the
new
and
enhance
that
were
excluded
from
the
budget
have
been
added,
we've
added
additional
shelter
beds.
We
have
expanded
and
provided
TTC
the
two-hour
past.
There
are
a
number
of
improvements
that
are
in
this
budget
and
I'm
very
pleased.
It
will
benefit
many
people
in
the
city.
Q
We've
done
it
through
a
variety
of
ways,
and
one
of
the
things,
of
course,
is
that
we've
drawn
heavily
on
the
MLT,
tee
and
I
know
that
everyone
is
quite
worried
about
that.
As
I
am
we've
seen
assessment
growth,
huge
assessment
growth,
we
benefited
once
again
from
the
provincial
upload
22
million
this
year
for
child
care
alone.
We
got
56
plus
another
22
million
from
the
provincial
government.
Q
Q
What
remains,
however,
as
a
characteristic
in
this
budget,
as
others
have
in
the
past,
is
that
there
were
still
59
million
dollars
of
unsustainable
bridge
financing
in
this
budget.
So
we
have
to
solve
the
problem
of
the
base
budget
and
it
has,
over
the
last
10
years,
I've
been
here
gotten
smaller
and
smaller.
That
gap.
J
Q
But
one
of
the
things
that
we
must
recognize
is
that
this
continues
to
be
in
general,
a
status
quo
budget.
We
have
tried
over
the
years
to
respond
to
the
growing
needs
and
the
growth
in
population,
but
we
have
not
done
it
so
we
need
to
both
build
a
sustainable
budget
for
the
future.
We
need
to
respond
to
the
needs
and
the
growth
in
our
city,
and
we
do
have
to
talk
about
raising
our
property
taxes,
which
still
fall
far
far
below
the
angelov
tax
rates
across
the
province
of
Ontario
Thank
You,
councillor
Davis,.
G
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker
I
will
not
be
moving
emotion
today.
I
will
be
supporting.
Of
course,
a
commissioner
and
councilor
Fraga
da
kisses
motion
to
add
the
additional
two
million
dollars
to
address
overcrowding.
Issues.
I
will
not
be
supporting
councilor
holidays
motion
to
have
a
fare,
increase
pay
for
the
time-based
transfer.
I.
Think
on
that
point,
it's
obvious.
Why
we're
doing
that
not
only
to
make
transit
more
affordable,
but
we're
trying
to
encourage
ridership
a
can
grow
ridership,
and
that's
the
rationale
behind
doing
that
as
increasing
the
fares.
We
won't
do
that
this
is.
G
This
is
a
good
news,
transit
budget.
There
is
no
doubt
about
that.
If
you
think
about
what
we're
all
hopefully
gonna
pass
in
a
well
few
moments,
maybe
few
hours
this
budget
will
include
those
time-based
transfers.
It's
going
to
include
a
fare
pass
for
lower-income
Torontonians,
it's
including
a
million
dollars
for
overcrowding
plus
than
the
other
two
million
dollars
that
commissioner
and
councillor
frag
raucous
has
moved
it's
going
to
increase
net
new
dollars
today
operating
budget
for
the
TTC
over
last
year's.
G
It
includes
a
ridership
growth
strategy
that
is,
sets
the
blueprint
and
groundwork
for
growing
ridership,
and
this
is
all
with
a
fare
freeze.
So
I
think
if
you
were
to
tell
anyone
that
going
into
a
budget
process,
they'd
probably
think
it
was
not
possible,
but
yet
this
is
what's
happened.
This
is
what
we're
gonna
prove.
G
On
top
of
it,
we
are
actually
approving
on
the
capital
side,
hundreds
again
of
new
buses,
a
new
bus
garage,
the
first
one
that's
been
built
in
a
decade
at
least
or
more
certainly,
the
first
one
that's
been
approved
and
much
longer
than
that.
We're
gonna
continue
with
all
the
state
of
good
repair
work
and,
and
yes,
we
had
a
terrible
week,
the
other
week
of
the
TTC,
and
we
had
a
terrible
day,
and
you
know
people
are
citing
why?
Why
did
that
happen?
G
Well,
one
of
the
reasons
this
happened
is
because
we've
let
we
let
our
system
to
rot
for
twenty
years,
when
you
don't
replace
switches
and
pumps
and
vents
those
things
that
maybe
aren't
that
exciting
for
people.
You
can't
do
a
ribbon
cutting
around
that's
what
happens,
but
the
good
news
is
that
works
been
done
over
the
last
three
years
and
it's
being
done
in
this
budget,
and
so
that's
why?
G
Anyone
who
uses
the
unlined
it
actually
has
six
new
subway
stations
have
a
fully
operational,
a
new
subway
line
running
it's
not
often
that
you're
paying
for
that
a
new
budget,
but
we're
offering
that
too,
and
on
top
of
we
continue
to
expand
a
role
at
the
presto
system.
So
this
is
a
good
but
good
news
budget
for
transit.
It's
a
good
news
budget
for
anyone
who
uses
the
TTC
because
it
makes
it
more
affordable.
G
It
makes
it
more
convenient
and
makes
it
safer,
and
so
I
think
that,
as
we
passed
today
on,
both
the
Capitol
operating
side
will
address
a
lot
of
long-standing
issues
that
we're
trying
to
get
get
around
and
get
over,
and
so
that
we
can
improve
service,
improve
safety,
improve
reliability
and
our
riders
and
our
customers
will
see
that
with
the
investments
we're
making
in
this
budget.
So
again,
I
will
be
voting
for
the
budget
and
supporting
it.
G
It
is
a
good
news,
transit
budget
I'll,
be
supporting
commissioner
and
councilor
Fraga
kisses
motion
to
address
crowding
with
the
extra
two
million
dollars
that
our
teaching
staff
will
look
into
and
see
how
they
can
spend
that
money
and
again
I
will
not
be
supporting
councilor
holidays
motion,
but
this
is
a
good.
This
is
a
budget,
that's
good
news
for
Toronto
residents.
It's
good
news
for
transit
riders.
It's
good
news
for
the
people
have
been
calling
on
for
years
to
address
the
problems.
G
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
First
of
all,
I
do
want
to
thank
some
people
for
the
incredibly
hard
work
that
has
happened
over
the
last
number
of
months.
Our
staff,
who
have
had
a
great
pleasure
of
working
with,
in
all
the
divisions,
all
the
agencies,
but
in
particular
you'll
have
a
motion.
Oh
you're
right
I.
Do
sorry
about
that.
D
Then
I
will
read
the
motion
that
City
Council
amend
the
2018
to
27
capital
budget
and
plan
for
parks,
forestry
and
recreation
by
adding
a
new
capital
sub
project
known
as
the
ward
38
improvements,
2018
sub
project
in
the
develop
park,
development
project
costing
790
with
cash
flow
of
70
in
the
2018
720
in
2019.
This
coming
from
the
park,
land
acquisition,
East
district,
local
reserve
and
it's
to
support
Centennial
recreation
of
Thompson
Park.
The
second
one
is
similar,
but
it's
for
Ward
38
Park
improvements
in
the
park
development
project
hundred
thousand
dollars.
D
It's
also
coming
from
the
park.
Land
acquisition,
east
district,
local
reserve
fund
and
number
three
at
City
Council
increase
of
2018
to
27
capital
budget
and
plans
for
park,
forestry
and
Recreation
by
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars,
and
that
is
being
funded
from
the
parkland
acquisition,
West
district
local
development
reserve
fund
to
undertake
improvements
at
Earls
Court
lay
ground
back
to
my
thanks.
D
I
want
to
thank
our
staff
all
across
the
city,
divisions
and
agencies
and,
of
course,
our
finance
staff
that
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
over
the
last
number
of
years
on
the
work
that
they've
been
doing
budget
committee
members.
Of
course,
an
incredible
amount
of
work
happens
in
the
budget
if
you've
been
on
the
budget
committee
in
years
past.
You
understand
the
commitment
and
the
work
that's
involved.
Nuts
I
want
to
thank
them
and,
of
course,
any
all.
D
The
councillors
who
participated
in
this
process
for
coming
out
for
asking
you
questions
for
listening
and
for
trying
to
move
motions,
not
all
of
them
getting
bought
through,
but
I
want
to
thank
them
for
coming.
Of
course,
the
public
we
were
out
all
across
the
city.
We
made
the
commitment
at
the
beginning
of
this
term
to
reach
out
all
across
the
city
to
speak
with
residents
on
their
priorities
and
I'm
glad
that
we
had
that
opportunity
to
do
that.
D
I
also
want
to
thank
mayor
Torre
for
his
leadership
and
setting
an
incredible
tone
for
the
budget
and
I
think
city
council
over
the
last
four
years.
I
also
want
to
I
have
to
say
it's
been
an
honor.
It's
been
a
privilege
being
the
budget
chair
budget
chief
for
the
last
four
years.
I
could
tell
you
one
thing:
you
do
learn
a
lot
about
how
the
city
is
run.
D
If
anybody
is
involved
or
has
been
involved
in
there,
a
few
former
budget
Chiefs
in
the
room
here,
you
really
get
a
sense
of
how
the
city
runs,
how
it
works.
We
have
had
some
great
times.
It's
been
a
little
challenging
at
times
and
I've
had
a
few
moments
but
I
think
overall,
it's
been
a
it's
been
a
great
opportunity
for
me
as
councillor
Cole
said,
this
is
a
good
news
budget
not
only
for
transit
but
I.
Think
for
all
residents
across
the
city.
D
Now,
despite
holding
line
on
taxes,
we
have
also
invested
in
a
lot
of
services,
and
we've
talked
about
a
lot
of
the
investments
over
50
Maui
I
think
it's
gonna
be
up
to
53
54
million
dollars
in
new
investments
that
are
gonna,
be
coming
forward:
police
officers,
bus
drivers,
hop-on
hop-off,
our
transfers,
transform
tÃo.
We
are
supporting
the
full
poverty
reduction,
2018
commitment
to
shelter,
beds,
childcare
spaces.
There's
lots
here
that
we're
going
to
be
supporting
vision,
0
of
course,
more
money
for
the
AG
we've
achieved
everything
that
we've
wanted
to
achieve.
D
Most
of
the
commitments
that
have
come
through
council
this
year
are
in
this
budget
and
we
have
achieved
them.
As
I
said.
Good
news
budget
invests
in
key
areas
while
keeping
taxes
low
and
keeping
spending
at
a
very
good
rate
with
lots
of
investments.
Iron
residents
want
to
build
the
city,
but
they
also
appreciate
that
we
strike
the
right
balance
that
we
tight
spending
find
efficiencies,
but
we
don't
have
taxes
that
are
high
and
again,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
honor
and
privilege
to
serve
as
your
budget.
D
N
And
a
point
of
order
before
I'm
able
to
ask
the
budget
chief
questions
on
his
motion.
I
I
have
I
need
some
advice
on
part
number
three
part
number
three.
What
it
attempts
to
do
is
take
money
out
of
the
land,
the
parkland
acquisition
fund
and
spend
it
simply
on
improving
play
equipment
within
an
already
existing
park.
As
you
know,
speaker,
these
are
fees
that
we
levy
from
development
applications
and
they're
legally
constrained
to
certain
purposes.
N
I've
just
checked
and
I,
don't
believe
we
have
ever
used
this
money
in
this
way
and
I
think
it
opens
the
city
up
to
liability
with
every
single
development
application
we
have
ever
had
because
those
fees
were
paid
with
a
legal
purpose
in
mind.
So
before
I'm
able
to
ask
the
budget
chief
questions
on
this
part
of
the
motion,
I'm
going
to
need
some
advice
from
I,
don't
legal
or
planning
staff
about
this
use
of
this
fund,
which
I
think
violates
the
law.
A
A
J
D
D
B
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker
I
do
need
clarification.
Madam
speaker
threw
you
to
the
chair
of
the
Budget
Committee
in
our
final
budget.
Wrap-Up
part
three.
In
any
case,
we
voted
down
because
we
have
never
had
a
staff
report
on
this,
nor
even
heard
from
the
local
councillor
today
that
I
still
haven't
had
either
of
those
things.
Are
you
moving
and,
and
we
therefore
voted
it
down?
I
still
have
never.
These
are
the
first
times
I've
seen
parts
1
&
2.
Do
you
have
information
about
these
that
the
rest
of
us
don't
have
no.
D
D
Q
D
D
F
N
You
speaker,
I,
have
consulted,
I,
have
consulted
and
that'll
be
the
basis
of
my
questions,
so
these
funds
that
you're
allocating
come
out
of
the
Land
Acquisition
Reserve,
which
is
generated
when
we
get
a
development
application.
Typically,
we
would
want
them
to
develop
to
offer
us
land.
We
require
that
and
when
they're
not
able
to
provide
us
with
land,
we
get
cash
in
lieu
which
is
generally
used
for
the
purchase
of
new
land,
I've
just
checked
with
staff
and
while
I
it
we
aren't
specifically
legally
constrained.
N
Q
D
D
S
A
S
I,
don't
is
for
moving
that
motion.
The
purpose
of
the
motion
that
was
moved.
It
was
had
a
budget,
a
committee
and
in
that
motion
was
in
consultation
with
a
city
staff.
Now
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
city
staff
as
well
as
the
Budget
Committee
in
the
budget
chief
for
doing
an
excellent
job,
a
more
more
than
anything
else
for
bringing
something
so
substantial
for
something,
that's
also
a
thankless
job.
S
This
budget,
in
my
opinion,
has
two
tails.
The
first
one
is
here.
We
have
a
healthy
and
a
strong
budget
with
a
very
healthy
social
infrastructure,
with
a
huge
investment
like
never
before,
and
in
that
and
I'll
speak
to
that
and
also
in
terms
of
public
transit.
So
there
are
good
news
from
that
perspective.
S
This
budget
is
very
unique
like
never
before
it
contains
more
than
50
million
dollars
in
new
services
and
enhance
investments.
The
city
is
investing
in
key
areas.
More
shelter
beds
are
open.
More
childcare
subsidies
will
be
available
for
families
more
student
nutrition
programs
in
funding
more
than
ever
before
in
recreational
service.
I'm.
Very
glad
also
that
we
had
a
to
our
hope
on
and
hope
of,
transmit
a
transparent
system
with
the
TTC
in
this
Apollo
project
that
initiated
in
world
seventeen
during
the
construction
of
the
exclusive
right
away
on
San,
Claire
and
I'm.
S
Very
glad
that
this
very
program
is
going
to
be
expanded
all
throughout
the
city.
That's
going
to
help
in
terms
of
River
revitalization,
for
commercial
strips
for
businesses,
but
for
more
than
anything
else
for
our
transit
users.
You
know
that
I
really
want
to
thank
those
who
are
following
the
debate,
especially
they
look,
my
local
vis
on
San
Claire,
as
well
as
my
rapist
groups
that
they
promote
it
and
they
work
hard
all
throughout
to
get
this
going.
S
This
is
not
a
question
about
how
we're
spending
how
we
prioritize
it's
very
clear
that
this
budget
enhances
the
social
and
cultural
infrastructure
of
this
city.
It
has
put
tenants,
tenants,
first,
the
homelessness
in
terms
of
the
homeless.
We
have
prioritized
them
in
terms
of
poverty
reduction.
We
are
prioritizing
them
as
well.
S
So
it's
a
good
budget
from
that
perspective,
but
I
do
have
serious
concerns
with
the
physical
infrastructure
of
the
city,
especially
they
the
state
will
repair.
The
funding
gap
keeps
on
growing.
The
bad
log
stands
at
2.2
billion
dollars,
and
if
nothing
is
done,
it
will
grow
to
three
point
six
billion
dollars
within
the
next
10
years,
and
that's
something
that
to
think
about
it.
Our
underground
infrastructure,
such
as
sewage
systems,
water
pipes,
our
bridges,
sidewalks,
have
to
be
prioritized
as
well.
S
Otherwise
it
will
cause
much
more
than
to
fix
later.
We
all
know
what
happened
with
the
state
oghuz
repaired
with
the
trans
community
housing
because
of
the
lack
of
funding
the
lack
of
management
in
the
past.
Thousands
of
social
housing
units
are
permanently
closed
in
that
store
ally.
Unconscionable.
That's
unacceptable
in
that
leaves
a
lot
to
be
desired.
With
regards
to
the
motion
that
the
budget
chief
put
it
before
you,
it
has
to
do
with
the
Earth's
core
part
and
that's
part
of
this
state.
Oh
good
record.
S
It's
a
playground
that
has
to
be
installed,
see
this
tab
called
public
meeting
and
the
community.
We
had
a
great
turnout
in
the
community
came
forward
and
they
said
this
playground
is
to
a
small.
The
area
has
gentrified
lab.
We
have
thousands
of
families
there
and
we
need
a
larger
playground
for
the
kids
and
that's
what
it
is
in.
What
city
staff
said
is
we
have
this
number
of
dollars.if
City
Council
through
the
budget
process
could
allocate
an
additional
amount
and
then
we
can
complete
the
playground.
A
S
T
T
I
should
just
indicate
there
are
some
motions
among
many
that
I'll
be
supporting,
including
those
from
councilors
mackovic,
Fraga,
Dacus,
bylaw,
Crawford
and
Davis
I
will
not
be
supporting
emotions
that
have
to
do
with
the
restoration
of
the
vehicle
registration
tax
I
will
not
be
supporting
councilor
Milady's
motions
and
I
will
not
be
supporting
the
motion
of
deputy
mayor
holiday
on
the
time-based
transfer.
Madam
Speaker
I
had
a
chance.
T
I
had
the
privilege
as
mayor,
to
attend
four
out
of
the
public
meetings
that
we
had
on
the
budget
and
I'll
start
off
by
saying
there
were
a
couple
of
people
and
it
wasn't
more
than
a
couple
who
did
stand
up
at
those
meetings
and
say
they
thought
that
we
should
increase
taxes.
So
there
weren't
many
in
fact,
at
a
recent
town
hall,
that
I
was
at
in
North
York
with
a
couple
of
hundred
I
would
say:
average
people
I
took
a
poll.
I
took
a
chance.
T
T
So
I
heard
a
lot
about
the
issues
and
I've
heard
we've
heard
a
lot
in
here
today
about
the
issues
that
were
not
solving
with
this
budget,
but
I
will
tell
you
that
at
all
those
meetings
and
in
all
the
events
that
I
go
to
across
the
city-
and
there
aren't
many
people
in
here
to
go
to
more-
there
are
some
that
go
to
as
many
what
I've
heard
more
so
than
anything
else
about
the
city
is
hope.
I've
heard
a
lot
about
hope
in
the
city.
Yes,
there
are
problems,
but
I've
heard
hope.
T
That
is
in
fact
attributable
in
part
to
the
fact.
We
have
one
of
the
lowest
rates
of
unemployment
in
this
city
in
a
long
long
time,
and
so
it
means
that
people.
Then
there
are
people
who
are
still
finding
it
difficult
to
become
included,
but
there
are
lots
of
other
people
who,
for
the
first
time
in
a
long
time,
have
that
sense
of
hope
that
they
can
get
a
job,
which
is
the
best
thing
that
they
can
have
in
the
city.
T
Not
because
it
solved
the
problem.
We
want
to
do
more
and
we
want
to
do
it
faster,
but
at
least
we're
now
meeting
the
targets
and
I
can
sure
you,
in
the
time
that
I
have
here
we're
gonna
meet
or
exceed
those
targets.
I
hope
exceed
them
every
single
year
without
exception.
They
have
hope
because
they
see
20,000
new
recreation
spaces
being
created,
and
they
know
that
that's
not
going
to
solve
the
entire
problem,
but
it's
20,000
that
we
didn't
have
yesterday.
T
If
this
budget
is
approved
same
with
extended
libraries,
which
we
had
the
honor
to
talk
about
in
Scarborough
yesterday,
more
police
officers
to
be
hired
hope
for
people
all
over
the
city
who
will
benefit
from
a
low-income
transit
equity,
pass
a
to
our
transit
hop-on
hop-off
pass
a
continuation
of
kids
riding
free
on
the
transit
system.
The
whole
notion
that
it
should
be
suggested
by
my
friend
counts
their
perks
through
you,
madam
Speaker,
that
we
haven't
done
anything
for
transit
is
laughable.
T
This
budget
contains
millions
of
new
dollars
for
significant
transit
initiatives,
not
to
mention
the
money
that
will
hopefully
be
approved
when
we
have
vote
on
motions
in
a
moment
or
two
to
actually
do
more
to
address
a
transit
overcrowding,
hope
that
is
expressed
by
many
young
people
who
are
heartened
by
our
adoption
and
funding
of
transform,
teal
I.
Remember
in
this
chamber.
It
was
said
a
long
time
ago.
It'll
never
be
funded,
nobody'll
ever
move
forward
with
it.
It
wasn't
included
in
the
budget.
T
It's
funded,
it's
funded
and
we're
moving
forward
with
it
and
I'm
proud
of
that
same
for
the
city's
first
ever
anti
black
racism
program
hope
coming
from
significant
investments.
We
are
making
in
shelter
beds
after
a
group
of
us
came
together
and,
and
that
included
me
having
to
acknowledge
as
I
did,
that
we
had
to
do
more,
and
this
budget
is
is
allocating
more
investment
to
do
more
when
it
comes
to
shelters.
I
heard
one
counselor
saying
today,
madam
Speaker,
that
the
budgets
going
in
the
right
direction,
but
not
going
fast
enough
and
I
wish.
T
We
could
go
faster
on
every
single
thing,
homelessness
and
shelters,
affordable
housing,
transit
I
wish
we
could
speed
all
those
things
up,
but
their
waiting
lists
that
we
are
now
addressing.
For
the
first
time.
A
line
item
has
been,
as
has
been
pointed
out,
on
TCH
C
capital
repairs.
We
are
growing
each
and
every
year
with
these,
these
were
growing
in
terms
of
the
progress
we're
making.
The
lists
were
what
we're
going
before
I'll.
T
Just
conclude:
if
I
may,
madam
Speaker,
by
saying
this,
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
on
addressing
a
lot
of
these
issues.
If
I
believe
that
simply
raising
property
taxes
was
going
to
provide
the
answer,
then
I
would
say
so,
but
I
know
that
that
can't
work
by
itself.
We've
got
some
difficult
work
to
do
all
over
again,
thanks,
quite
frankly,
to
the
ill-advised
short-sighted
decision
that
was
made
up
the
street
with
respect
to
road
tolls.
T
But
I
will
take
on
the
responsibility
that
we
have
to
make
some
decisions
on
the
long
term,
financing
of
the
city.
We
have
reports
coming
forward
for
us
to
address,
but
for
now
we've
shown
that
it
is
possible
to
restrain
tax
increases,
to
help
keep
the
city
affordable
for
people
and,
at
the
same
time,
to
invest
tens
of
millions
of
new
dollars
in
improved
programs
and
services.
T
Much
of
it
for
the
very
same
people
who
are
struggling,
the
most
and
I'll
say
one
last
thing,
and
that
is
that
in
years
gone
by
all
of
these
dire
things
that
are
done
to
use
reserves
and
to
use
one-time
payments,
we're
done
in
many
years
to
a
greater
extent
than
this
year.
The
difference
was
that
there
weren't
the
investments
that
accompanied
it
in
transit
in
housing
in
childcare.
That's
the
difference.
T
We're
doing
some
of
those
things
in
lesser
amounts
than
we
did
in
years
gone
by,
but
we're
using
those
things
to
make
investments
in
people
and
in
building
a
great
city.
We've
got
lots
of
work
to
do,
but
I
think
this
budget
moves
us
forward
on
every
single
account
and
I
think
that
people
I
hope
that
you'll
support
it
and
I
think
people
will
find
it
a
budget
that
is
to
their
liking.
In
terms
of
achieving
that
balance
and
getting
it
as
close
to
right
as
we
can
in
challenging
circumstances,
thank
you,
madam
Speaker.
Thank.
P
C

F
On
a
point
of
privilege,
I
hope
not
to
vote
incorrectly.
However,
I
started
the
mess
meeting
with
my
green
button,
not
lighting
up
and
now
both
of
mine
don't
light
up
so
I.
If
someone
could
have
it
fixed
for
the
next
meeting
and
I'll
be
as
cautious
as
I
can
during
this
one,
but
it
doesn't
register
any
of
my
votes
on
my
own
table
here.

K
A
N
Pointy
speaker,
councillor
mammal
Edie,
is
moving
to
do
something
which
is
directly
contrary
to
instructions.
We
gave
legal
staff
to
defend
the
word
boundary
review
and
the
number
of
councillors
is
contained
in
there
and
that
vote
was
taken
within
the
last
year,
so
it
would
need
a
reopening
or
a
two-thirds
reconsideration
or
something
like
that.
It's
directly
contrary
to
the
position
of
this
council
taken
within
this
year
in
instructions
to
our
legal
style.

F
A

A
N
F
F
A
F
Is
a
case
where
my
colleague
has
been
encouraging
my
colleague
to
understand
that
I
did
and
it's
a
long
time
ago,
so
he
wants
to
change
his
vote
for
the
reason
that
now
he
understands
he
might
have
voted
incorrectly.
That's
not
an
error
in
pressing
the
button
and
if
you
start
a
process
like
that
that
allows
all
of
us
to
rethink
our
votes
in
the
impact
and
change
them
later.
Thank.
A
I'm
waiting
to
hear
from
staff
on
what
the
vote
was.
A
N
A
very
clear
memory
that,
on
the
issue
of
the
university
bike
lane
in
2010,
the
counselor
was
not
permitted
to
even
have
a
vote
on
whether
or
not
we
would
reconsider
it.
And
the
reason
given
by
the
clerk's
office
in
that
instance
is
that
it
would
change
the
outcome.
So
we
were
not
even
permitted
to
do
this.
I
A
Before
we
take
the
the
final
vote,
we
have
members
that
have
declared
an
interest
so
items
as
pertains
to
expansion
and
provision
of
telephone
wireless
internet
and
television
services
contained
in
the
IT
Toronto
Police,
GTC
and
TCH
see
budgets,
mera
Tory.

So,
let's,
let's
thank
the
staff
that
are
here
amazing
job
and
thank
you
to
members.
This
meeting
is
adjourned.
