A
Within
a
city
standpoint,
so
what
we're
asking
for
here
is
the
authority
to
be
able
to
walk
through
to
actually
review
with
the
division
heads
and
if
you
look
at
the
actual
second
recommendation,
that's
what
it's
stating
that
the
chief
technology
officer
should
walk
with
each
of
the
division.
Heads
to
walk
through
this
through
so
the
authority.
We're
trying
to
come
through
from
a
play
law
is
to
give
us
the
opportunity
to
at
least
sit
down
and
walk
through
that
method.
In
terms
of
what
is
best
for
the
interest
in
the
city.
A
We've
started
this
process
already.
Some
of
the
contracts
do
come
in
renewal
from
september,
but
the
centralization
process
is
starting
in
2021
to
move
through.
We
would
we
were
hoping
to
start
earlier.
Obviously
the
pandemic
has
halted
that,
but
through
the
2021
we
will
be
taking
a
stringent
look
as
we
look
at
these.
So
that's
when
you
know
I
would
say
that
there's
a
a
lot
of
contracts
on
here.
It's
a
large
amount.
B
Heather
senior
services
and
long-term
care
they've
got
a
payroll
system.
C
So
through
you,
madam
speaker,
ppepp,
which
is
the
overarching
payroll
center
for
the
city,
manages
some
payroll
areas
throughout
city
and
agencies.
We
are
looking
currently
at
centralizing
payroll,
similar
to
it.
There
are.
There
are
some
areas
of
the
city
that
have
unique
needs
and
it's
not
necessarily
centralized.
D
B
D
B
C
E
Sorry,
madam
speaker
lawrence,
I
understand
the
auditor
general
had
some
concerns
around
proprietary
licenses
and
how
the
city
deals
with
them.
Can
you
explain
how
this
process
that
you
undertaken
is
dealing
with
her
concerns.
A
Yeah
through
the
chair,
the
process
we're
undertaking
is
to
review
from
a
combination
of
aspen,
like
so
when
certain
land
of
support,
which
we
don't
get
any
support
when
their
end
of
life.
So
what
we're
doing
is
that
we're
walking
through
solutions
that
are
enterprise?
I
mentioned
the
sort
of
sales
force
as
an
example
and
through
that
process
we're
ensuring
that
we
take
those
propriety
aspects
that
limits
the
opportunity
to
in
terms
of
a
competitive
process
for
the
city.
A
So
it's
a
one
step
at
a
time
that
we're
moving
through
and
we're
trying
to
move
away
from
necessarily
the
property
of
contracts.
There
are
going
to
be
contracts
that
are
required
for
proprietary,
but
what
we
have
to
do
in
the
city
is
looking
at
bigger
centralization
and
a
bigger
scale,
as
opposed
to
developing
solutions
that
are
just
primarily
and
siloed
into
specific
divisions.
So
it's
a
method.
E
Okay
and
the
example
that
the
deputy
mayor
used
a
couple
of
moments
ago
about
their
different
payroll
systems,
so
my
understanding
is,
it
might
not
be
payroll
systems,
but
one
of
the
things
that
this
does
is
it
does
look
across
all
divisions
at
it.
Software
that's
being
used
to
harmonize
it.
Correct.
D
Thank
you,
councilor
pruitt's
questions.
F
Yes,
mr
speaker,
my
my
question
is
along
the
same
lines.
I've
always
so
so
you
buy
licenses
like
different
divisions,
different
department
buy
licenses
and
they
have
a
certain
number
of
them,
but
it
doesn't
they're
not
centralized
across
the
system
and
and
and
this
they're,
not
historically,
they
haven't
been
centralized.
F
A
Through
the
speaker,
it's
a
good
question
counselor.
I
think
that
I
will
just
start
off
to
state
that
there
wasn't
more
of
a
city-wide
view
and
if
we
look
at
the
customer
service,
for
example,
where
josie
scolie
deputy
city
manager,
corporate
services
is
leading,
is
that
we're
first
asking
about
the
business
processes?
A
Often
the
conversation
usually
starts
off,
and
it's
not
anything
that
is
just
unique
to
the
city
of
toronto,
about
let's
just
purchase
a
license.
So
one
of
the
views
we're
taking
is
looking
at
the
overall
operating
model,
for
example,
if
there's
an
operating
model
that
needs
to
be
centralized
for
payroll
and
then
determine
what
is
the
right
technology
solution
which
will
lead
to
the
actual
appropriate
licenses
and
appropriate
technology,
as
I'm
stating
right
now
is
that
if
we
go
into
it
on
a
technology
conversation,
we
will
have
technology
sprawl.
A
What
is
different,
this
time
is
that
we
are
stating
is
that
we
do
not
want
technology
sprawl,
which
means
that
we
continue
purchasing
these
licenses,
but
we
do
need
a
centralized
operating
model,
and
that
is
the
way
that
you
have
to
approach
it
and
that's
the
best
practice.
That's
used
in
the
industry,
whether
it's
private
or
public
sector.
F
F
F
Let
me
ask
you,
let
me
let
me
ask
you
the
question
around
technology
and
council,
of
course,
but
let
me
not
forget
council,
so
so
you
you
go
to
the
different
divisions.
You
know
urban
design,
printing,
you
know
the
the
people
that
do
the
mapping
and
graphics
and
all
the
rest
of
it
everybody's
got
their
own
niche
little
license
here.
There
there,
there
city,
council
our
counselor
for
years,
for
example,
you
guys
don't
support.
We
do
a
lot
of
graphic
stuff.
F
We
do
communications,
we
do
newsletters
and
things
like
that.
The
programs
like
photoshop
and
illustrator
and
whatnot.
We
can't
add
ourselves
onto
those
licenses
because
you
don't
you
you
purchase
them
for
for
for
one
division,
but
you
don't
purchase
them
across
the
across
the
system.
So
then,
the
license
costs
double
or
triple
what
what
the
bulk
prices
would
be,
and
we
just
we've
just
been
wasting
all
kinds
of
money
across
the
system
on
stuff
like
that
and
nobody's
been
able
to
fix
it.
How
does
this
change
that.
A
Well,
through
the
speaker,
we
say
what
is
the
photoshop
I'm
going
to
use
the
language
that
you're
using?
What
is
the
requirements
that
counsel?
What
is
the
requirements
that
each
of
those
divisions
they're
common
requirements
that
you
need?
You
need
to
print
something
you
need
to
display
something.
It's
common,
it's
not
it's
not
different.
We
state,
okay,
we
require
x
amount
of
licenses,
a
hundred
licenses
to
achieve
the
same
functionality.
A
F
F
Can
you
get
then
achieve
a
bulk
price
for
the
the
hundred
or
a
hundred
or
so
and
then
actually
pay
for
what
you
what
you
purchase
as
a
component
of
that
of
that
bulk
purchase?
So
then,
if,
if
other
departments
come
in
and
say
you
know
what
we
need
an
element
of
that
as
well,
can
you
add
us
to
that
right
and
then
you
achieve
they're
able
to
to
sort
of
piggyback
on
that
bulk
purchase.
That
has
never
been
done
and
I've
and
you
know
what
over
the
years
I've
asked
this
question.
D
A
D
G
H
Madam
speaker,
I
went
to
to
do
my
mute
button
and
bumped
my
name
off
the
question
and
I
wanted
to
question
all
along.
I
just
want
to
marry
all
of
the
answers
to
the
recommendations
for
to
make
it
clear
in
my
own
mind.
So,
mr
ada,
if
you
could
just
take
me
back,
what
I
see
is
a
recommendation.
There
are
certain
that
you
are
ready
to
proceed
and
and
you're
you're
giving
us
the
amount.
H
The
second
recommendation,
you're
asking
for
authorization
to
renew
where
need
be,
is
that
is
that
what
I
heard
you
saying
to
deputy
mayor
minima
wong
includes
consideration
in
the
year
2021,
because
some
of
these
can
be
harmonized,
so
you'll
just
be
renewing
until
such
time
as
you
can
do
some
centralization,
but
some
are
still
required
in
in
new
licenses
and
new
contracts.
Now.
Is
that
why
we
have
the
two
different
types
of
recommendations.
I
H
A
Through
the
speaker,
those
we
through
the
speaker,
those
we
can't
nice,
we
will
utilize
in
terms
of
coming
back,
to
stated,
we've
harmonized
these
existing
contracts.
So
here's
where
the
information
is
and
those
that
we
do
have
to
renew
based
on
certain
business
risk,
we
will
renegotiate
to
ensure
that
the
city
is
getting
the
most
value.
B
Yeah
thank
thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
held
this
item
because
we've
been
talking
about
centralization
and
getting
rid
of
proprietary
software
as
long
as
I've
been
a
counselor,
and
so
this
is
an
opportunity,
a.
B
Oh
yeah,
I
do
sorry,
okay,
do
these
clerks,
have
it
yes,.
B
Great,
the
city
council
requests
the
chief
technology
officer
and
the
chief
procurement
officer
to
report
to
the
april
2021
general
government
and
license
committee
meeting
on
accountability,
policies,
procedures
and
enforcement
that
ensures
proper
business
plans
are
provided
for
the
future
purchase
of
proprietary,
I.t
and
software
systems.
B
B
We
have,
over
over
a
thousand
employees,
we're
going
to
potentially
spend
170
million
dollars
on
non-proprietary
software
on
things
like
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
a
library
of
periodicals
for
the
planning
department.
B
B
We've
got
fleet
services
that
have
have
fleet
services
software,
and
it's
not
apparent
to
me
that
we
have
we've
talked
to
either
the
toronto
police
services
or
the
ttc
in
terms
of
what
software
they
use.
B
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done
in
this,
and
so
you
know
we
talked
I
mean,
I
think
the
tone
of
these
council
meetings
are
we're
spending
a
lot
of
money
and
we
don't
know
where
we're
going
to
get
it
from,
and
you
know
there
are
members
of
this
council
that
says
that
say
that
there's
no
money
in
our
city
government
to
find
efficiencies
and
to
find
cost
savings
here
is
a
report
that
sets
you
on
a
path
to
identify
those
places
of
waste
and
efficiencies
where
we
can
find
that
money
to
apply
to
all
the
important
programs
and
services
that
we
have
in
the
city
that
could
be
spent
usefully
and
spent
instead
of
spending
money
unnecessarily
on
proprietary
software
that
we
don't
necessarily
need.
B
D
Okay,
thank
you
on
the
amendment
by
deputy
mayor
men
and
wong.
It's
on
the
screen.
J
J
I
think,
throughout
this
whole
pandemic,
whether
it's
providing
remote
work
opportunities,
delivering
the
services
that
we
provide
virtually
in
record
time
or
working
with
toronto
public
health
to
improve
our
collective
response,
and
so
I
didn't
want
to
let
this
moment
pass
without
commending
them
and
thanking
them
for
their
hard
work.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
so,
on
the
amendment
by
the
deputy
mayor
manwang,
it's
on
the
screen
on
favor
show
offense
carried
item
as
amended
on
favor
kerry.
Thank
you.
Our
next
item
is
gl
16.8
councillor
mckelvey.
K
Thank
you.
I've
advanced
circulated
this
already,
so
it
is
just
asking
that
we
have
a
public
information
session
on
the
project
and
that
there's
some
additional
discussions
with
the
toronto
library
board
and
that
there
is
a
transportation
impact
study
as
part
of
site
plan,
and
thank
you
to
city
staff
that
have
helped
with
preparation
of
that
amendment.
K
I
am
very
happy
that
scarborough
rouge
park
will
be
home
to
the
tamil
community
center.
This
land
was
acquired
by
the
city
for
a
community
center
and
thanks
to
the
tamil
community,
we'll
finally
get
one.
The
community
center
construction
budget
is
40
million
dollars,
and
the
tamil
community
steering
committee
will
be
responsible
for
paying
it
through
funding.
They
get
from
other
levels
of
government
and
through
fundraising.
K
This
area
is
sorely
underserved
for
by
social
services,
not
just
for
the
tamil
community,
but
for
the
community
at
large.
The
tamil
community
center
has
stated
that
they
will
work
to
incorporate
the
needs
of
the
broader
community
and
to
guarantee
this,
they
will
be
signing
a
community
access
agreement
that
will
propose
that
50
of
the
programming
will
be
for
indigenous
black,
caribbean
and
other
marginalized
communities.
As
well,
I'm
very
grateful
for
the
leadership
of
the
tamil
community
steering
committee
in
this
important
initiative,
reflecting
on
my
two
years
as
city
councilor
in
scarborough.
K
In
my
motion,
I'm
asking
that
a
conversation
is
also
initiated
between
the
toronto
public
library
and
the
toronto
community
center
organizers
to
look
at
how
we
can
partner.
Since
this
area
is
also
lacking
library
services
at
a
minimum,
I'm
hopeful
we
could
develop
a
kiosk
where
both
books
could
be
ordered
and
dropped
off.
This
will
serve
the
broader
community
as
well,
but
it
also
ties
in
extremely
well
with
our
memorandum
of
understanding
with
the
city
of
jaffna.
K
D
L
K
Thank
you
councillor
lai,
so
I
think
I
know
that
you've
been
interested
in
the
sort
of
relationship
that
there
is
between
the
chinese
cultural
center
and
the
burroughs
hall
library,
and
so
like
I'm
open
to
that
sort
of
dialogue
taking
place
in
a
similar
facility
at
the
site.
Should
they
be
able
to
come
up
with
a
good
plan
for
that
in
their
discussions.
L
K
You
yeah,
I
think
a
facility
like
burroughs
hall
would
work
very
well.
K
D
Thank
you,
council
lies,
so
did
you
want
to
speak
or
the
question?
I
have
some
question
of
staff.
Okay,
we're
not
there,
but
no
word
speakers
now
so
councilor
mckelvey.
As
far
as
your
amendment
did
you
agree
to
counselor
lie
or
counsel.
I
do
you
want
to
move
the
amendment.
D
L
Well,
I
I
think
the
clerk
has
that
could
could
the
clerk
please?
Yes,
it's
on
the
screen.
Yes,
thank
you.
Yes,
thank
you.
I
just
because
of
in
my
ward,
in
like
the
chinese
cultural
center
about
30
years
ago
that
they
have
the
city
has
leased
some
land
to
them
and
just
to
make
sure
to
ensure
that
we
are
being
inclusive.
L
So
they
have.
You
know,
added
the
borough,
halls,
library
and
community
center
adjacent
to
the
complex,
which
I
think
is
very
important
for
just
to
ensure
that
the
community
at
large
will
be
will
have
access
to
equitable
access
to
community
services.
So
this
is
just
just
to
make
sure
that
we
are
on
the
right
track
on
that
and
just
to
model
the
same
model
like
many
like
30
years
ago
that
the
city
has
been
doing.
L
I
think
it's
always
been
the
intent
of
the
city
to
include
to
be
inclusive
and
to
make
sure
that
the
community
at
large
could
get
access
to
community
services.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Council,
mccall,
okay,.
D
Thank
you
so,
on
the
amendment
oh
his
name,
tori
did
you
want
to
speak.
D
N
Okay,
well
speaker,
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
first
of
all
say
thank
you
to
counselor
mccalvie
for
her
leadership
on
this.
This
is
something
where
she's
sort
of
taken
it
and
and
run
with
it,
but
I
I
also
wanted
to
say
thanks
to
the
community,
because
she
had
to
have
somebody
to
run
with,
and
if
I
go
back
to
the
beginning
of
this,
the
community
came
to
me
a
long
time
ago
before
councilmember
calvi
was
even
elected
and
said
they
wanted
a
community
center.
N
I
think
we
all
know
that
there
are
a
number
of
communities
in
the
city
that
have
wish,
and
I've
always
put
the
same
questions
to
them,
that
they
have
to
answer
as
a
community,
realizing
that
any
community
that
we
want
to
name
without
exception,
has
many
sub-communities.
If
I
call
it
within
it,
and
so
I
said,
the
first
thing
you
have
to
do
is
get
people
together,
and
you
have
to
answer
the
questions.
You
know
the
core
questions
were
what
is
it?
In
other
words,
what
is
it
you?
N
What
kind
of
community
center
do
you
want,
because
there
are
always
differences
on
the
kinds
of
things
people
want?
Where
should
it
be,
and
how
do
we
propose
it's
going
to
get
paid
for
on
the
theory
that
it
can't
get
paid
for
entirely
by
government
money?
There
has
to
be
some
degree
of
private
or
community
fundraising,
and
the
tamil
community
was
absolutely
remarkable.
I
mean
within
I
I
I'm
not
exaggerating.
I
don't
think
when
I
say
six
months,
a
community
that
had
different
groups
within
it
that
sometimes
interacted
more
than
others
with
with
themselves.
N
They
got
everybody
together
in
a
meeting
that
I
well
remember,
because
I
attended
to
kind
of
thank
them
for
all
getting
together
and
they
had
these
groups
that
didn't
necessarily
work
with
each
other
every
day
who
got
together,
and
they
said
we're
going
to
set
about
with
the
steering
committee
that
councilor
mckelly
referred
to
answering
those
questions.
Where
should
it
be?
N
I
can't
always
say
we
can
promise
the
land,
nor
can
any
of
you,
but
I
will
say
it's
a
lot
easier
for
us
to
deal
with
these
things
and
to
be
their
advocates
to
the
other
governments
for
funding.
If
they
can
do
what
the
talmud
community
did.
I'm
not
surprised
because
it's
such
a
great
community
of
kind
of
ingenious,
determined
people
which
is
to
answer
those
questions
and
have
the
answer
come
back.
N
We
say
this
as
one
so
say
we
all,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
them
for
that,
because
I
think
we
wouldn't
be
here
today.
If
it
wasn't
for
the
fact
they
got
together.
As
a
community
or
as
a
series
of
communities
and
formed
a
group
that
formed
one
opinion,
they
gave
us
that
opinion
and
now
we've
been
able
to
move
it
at
this
stage,
and
now
we
go
to
the
next
stage.
I
don't
have
any
doubt.
I
never
did
that
they
can
raise
the
money.
N
I
think
that'll
be
done
quicker
than
than
we
would
think.
But
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
community
and
thank
you
to
the
counselor,
for
you
know
kind
of
working
with
them
so
closely
on
something
that
was
a
project
that
was
dear
to
my
heart,
because
I
thought
this
community,
given
everything
about
it,
needed
to
have
a
place
like
this
and
deserve
to
have
a
place
like
this,
but
they
did
the
hard
work
to
get
us
to
where
we
are.
So.
Thank
you,
speaker.
D
J
D
L
Can
deal
with,
I
can
deal
with
that
with
on
the
side,
then
thank
you.
B
J
E
I
Just
the
amendment
on
ensuring
that,
as
we're
producing
these
units
that
are
processed
to
allocate
them
as
per
our
housing
plan,
is
also
introduced
and
implemented
as
soon
as
possible.
D
J
D
J
May
I
request
some
detailed
voting
on
this.
I
would
like
to
be
recorded
in
support
of
councillor
deputy
mayor
by
law's
amendments.
However,
I'd
like
to
vote
against
the
original
recommendation,
which
came
from
the
committee
recommendation
number
one.
D
Okay,
so
let's
do
the
amendment
first
then,
on
favor
show
pans
carried
so
on
the
item.
You
want
to
record
it
vote
counselor
holiday.
Thank
you,
madam
speaker.
Okay
recorded.
D
D
D
Our
next
item
is
sc
18.1
golden
mile
secondary
plan
council
thompson
questions
to
staff.
P
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
speaker.
I
did
ask
for
a
presentation
from
staff.
It
will
be
about
three
minutes.
I
wonder
if
staff
could
advance
the
presentation,
please.
D
C
O
Good
morning,
madam
speaker,
members
of
council,
it's
greg
lintern,
I'm
joined
by
paul
giuliani
from
what
we
call
our
great
east
team
to
just
quickly
give
a
an
overview
of
the
golden
mile
secondary
plan,
a
plan
that's
been
in
development,
with
community
councillors
for
just
over
three
years,
a
plan
that
will
bring,
I
think,
residents
around
43
000
people
rivaling
the
size
of
the
scarborough
center,
around
12,
000
jobs
or
sorry
20,
000
jobs
over
the
life
of
the
plan.
O
So
I'll
turn
it
over
to
paul.
To
just
give
you
a
quick
overview
of
the
secondary
plan,
that's
contained
in
the.
D
Okay,
mr
lantern,
can
you
continue
the
presentation
or
do
you
want
us
to
go
to
the
next
item
and
then
come
back.
O
Certainly
the
our
team
in
the
east
are
the
subject
matter:
experts
in
detail,
but
just
just
for
members
of
council
disorient
you
this
his
plan
is
over
a
hundred
acres
and
hectares
in
size,
and
it
follows
along
a
new
edmonton
crosstown.
It's
under
construction,
serviced
by
five
stations,
just
east
continuing
east
from
victoria
park.
The
next
slide,
please.
O
So
the
development
in
the
plan
is
god,
guided
by
certain
vision
and
and
principle
statements,
which
importantly
set
out
the
notions
and
and
concepts
around
complete
and
livable
communities
that
we
make
sure
that
we
build
this
area
out
in
a
very
connected
way,
with
new
streets
with
new
public
spaces
with
new
public
parks.
O
We
respond
to,
of
course,
local
conditions
in
the
area,
build
opportunities
for
prosperity
and
and
and
integrate
planning
that
creates
a
resilient
community
that
that
actually
emerges
over
time
as
a
resilient
place
to
live,
work
and
play
and
learn
next
slide.
Please.
O
As
we
do
with
secondary
plans
across
the
city,
it's
a
large
area.
We
break
it
down
so
that
people
can
relate
to
the
geography
of
the
area.
We've
oriented
the
area
based
on
a
certain
character
defined
by
land
use
on
the
ground,
a
built
form
and
public
realm
objectives,
creating
really
safe,
enjoyable,
well-designed
spaces
or
people
to
be
together
to
create
a
community
and
again
with
it,
with
quite
a
focus
on
the
transit
investment.
That's
under
construction
across
eglinton
avenue.
Next
next
slide.
Please.
O
So
the
public
room
in
the
area
presents
an
opportunity
to
build
on
enhance
existing
streets
and
parks,
build
new
pedestrian,
cycling
connections.
Interestingly,
we
have
the
meadow
wages
to
the
north
of
the
area,
which
is
a
an
amazing
amenity.
That's
emerging
across
the
whole
breadth
of
scarborough
public
ground
policies
really
are
something
to
that.
We
use
to
shape
communities
across
the
city,
and
this
is
no
different.
I'm
making
sure
that
they're
well
designed
creative
places
for
people
to
design
new
and
imaginative
spaces
next
slide.
O
Please
next
the
street
network,
of
course,
when
you're
dealing
with
large
sites,
we
break
up
blocks
as
the
area
changes
introduce
new
streets
through
development,
we
we
want
to
support
mobility,
that
that
includes
all
modes
bringing
people
to
and
from
the
site
sites.
I
think
really
important
to
emphasize
here
that
this
allows
people
to
make
connections
to
create
porosity
across
what
are
now
very
large
difficult
sites
to
maneuver.
O
It
is
really
important
to
lay
down
this
type
of
network
so
that
people
have
all
the
options
to
move
around
in
a
safe,
comfortable
and
and
a
people-centered
manner.
Next
slide.
Please.
O
A
lot
of
emphasis
on
build
form
and
design
excellence.
We
want
to
create
a
place
where
people
want
to
come
and
invest.
We
want
to
create
a
place
where
people
ultimately
love
it
as
a
place
to
live
and
enjoy
it
and
feel
that
they
are
proud
to
make
this
their
community.
We
do
that
through
excellence
in
design
and
build
form,
and
there
is
a
lot
of
emphasis
in
in
our
in
our
draft
policies
for
for
this
to
be
achieved
next
slide.
O
Please,
of
course,
the
rubber
always
hits
the
road
around
density
and
we've
imagined,
through
the
plan
expressed
in
this
in
this
concept
plan
the
way
the
density
is
arranged
and
arrayed
across
the
site,
married
of
course,
with
our
public
realm
and
built
form
objectives.
So
that
density,
which
is
substantial,
I
indicated
43
000
people
and
20
000
jobs.
O
This
area
will
significantly
be
reimagined
and
transformed
over
the
life
of
the
plan,
but
importantly
done
in
a
way
that
expresses
a
variety
of
built
forms,
a
variety
of
building
types
unit
types
you
know
making
you
feel
like
you're
in
a
city
within
a
city
at
the
end
of
the
day,
next
slide,
please
we
can't
grow
just
population,
we
have
to
grow
infrastructure.
That
means
the
pipes.
O
That
means
community
services
parks,
community
centers
and,
of
course,
when
you've
got
43
000
people
coming
to
an
area
over
time,
you've
got
to
phase
in
development
in
a
responsible
manner
and
support
it
with
a
full,
complete
array
of
community
services
and
facilities
and
achieve
these
services
in
a
way
that
is
married
up
to
the
way
that
development
will
unfold
over
over
the
next
many
years.
Next
slide,
please.
O
So,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
next
chapter
really,
we,
as
I
said,
we're
coming
off
of
three
years
of
development
and
consultation
on
the
plan.
I
want
to
emphasize
that
when,
as
as
this
plan
builds
out,
there
is
a
great
opportunity
here
to
achieve
affordable
homes,
which
is
certainly
currently
through
our
large
site
policy,
but
along
with
that
schools,
child
care,
centers
places
to
live,
work
and
play
and
learn.
O
D
Thank
you.
Okay,
questions,
counselor
thompson.
P
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
speaker,
and
thank
you,
mr
lintern,
for
the
great
presentation
I
just
wanted
to
ask
some
questions
around
the
public
engagement
process
and
participation.
How
engaged
and
how
involved
was
that
process.
O
Through
the
speaker,
the
the
engagement
was
significant,
as
they
indicated
over
three
and
a
half
years
of
of
engagement.
I
can
recall
attending
one
of
the
last
in-person
sessions
at
victoria
park
and
and
eglinton
at
the
hub
there.
I
would
say
that
it's
one
of
the
more
engaged
you
know,
processes
that
we've
had
because,
as
you
know,
people
don't
live
in
the
golden
mile
right
on
eglinton.
O
Today
they
live
all
around
it
and
it's
been
important
on
to
the
north,
south,
east
and
west
of
the
golden
mile
to
engage
the
communities
who,
I
think,
very
much
feel
that
this
is
their
future.
This
place
is
their
future
a
place
that
they
can
begin
to
call
their
main
street
and
and
the
place
that
they
will.
They
will.
You
know,
live
live
with
for
a
long
time,
but
also
new
people
who
would
hope
to
reside
and
work
here.
So
I
think
that
engagement
has
been
very
robust
and
complete.
P
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
linder,
for
the
answer
we
looked
at
the
20
or
so
public
realm
policies
that
were
actually
in
place
and
it's
been
refined.
I'm
just
wondering
if
you
can
help
me
to
understand.
There
was
concerns
that
bell.
Canada
had
with
respect
to
their
telecommunication
facilities,
just
north
of
eggington
at
pharmacy,
I'm
wondering
with
respect
to
the
public
streets,
and
that
was
designed
to
go
through
their
property.
P
O
Yes,
I
believe
that
that
conversation
is
ongoing.
I
think,
as
is
the
case
with
all
major
utility
and
and
other
infrastructure
agencies
and
and
partners
in
the
area.
That's
a
vitally
important
part
of
making
making
the
plan
work
in
the
long
term.
P
O
The
the
street
that
are
streets
that
are
shown
in
the
plan
are
conceptual
that
it's
certainly
a
guiding
principle
to
to
introduce
new
streets,
as
we
normally
do,
but
the
ea
that
is
recommended
in
the
report
is
the
next
step
and,
very
importantly,
that
will
be
the
opportunity
for
us
to
get
into
more
detail
and
refine
these
alignments
and
work
with
landowners
to
to
actually
land
them
on
the
ground
and
secure
them
ultimately
to
development.
P
So
I
know
I'm
running
out
of
time,
but
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
process
of
engagement
in
terms
of
the
public.
Can
you
help
me
to
understand
with
respect
to
community
benefits,
there
have
been
some
a
table.
That's
been
established
with
united
way,
wood,
green
and
others,
and
so
on.
Can
you
speak
a
little
bit
to
that
with
respect
to
the
opportunity
to
create
jobs
and
the
impact
that
those
jobs
are
being
created
will
have
on
the
local
community
so
that
local
community
will
in
fact
be
participating
as
part
of
that
process?.
O
Yes,
through
the
speaker,
it's
a
great
question.
There
has
been
a
really
a
different
kind
of
conversation
going
on
in
the
golden
mile
that
has
been
sponsored
by
the
united
way,
engaging
the
private
sector
agencies
other
interested
parties
around
what
I
call
you
know
above
and
below
the
line
public
benefits,
so
certain
public
benefits
that
could
be
secured
through
development,
for
example
such
as
affordable
housing,
affordable
commercial
space,
community
hubs,
things
like
that
connections,
but
below
the
line.
Other
opportunities.
O
You
know
using
the
second
and
third
floor
of
commercial
buildings
for
low
rent
commercial
space
such
that
a
you
know,
u
of
t
could
go
in
there
and
other
and
other
agencies
could
go
in
those
spaces.
So
having
this
process
underway,
guided
by
the
united
way
has
been
a
real
innovation,
I
would
say,
because
it's
happened
early
and
before
the
plan
has
has
been
adopted
and
will
help
to
continue
to
inform
all
of
the
opportunities
that
we
can,
that
we
can
achieve
through
the
development
process
going
forward.
Thank.
H
Thank
you
just
a
couple,
madam
speaker,
and
I
apologize
up
front
to
to
both
the
our
chief
planner
and
the
local
counselor.
If
this
is
in
the
plan
report,
it's
just
so
expansive.
I
know
that
we're
just
looking
at
the
secondary
plan,
but
I'm
wondering
in
in
future
development
applications.
H
Is
it
in
the
secondary
plan
that
we
need
to
articulate
that
that
displacement
has
to
to
meet
to
the
fullest
amount
possible,
our
city
policies
around
rental
replacement
and
how
we
deal
with
the
displaced
tenants
which,
which
is
primarily
towards
the
west
of
this,
where
that
might
happen
with
with
future
applications.
O
Through
the
speaker,
so
the
secondary
plan
does
not
set
aside
citywide
policy,
so
it
works
with
citywide
policy.
So,
for
example,
our
rental
replacement
policies.
If
development
does
affect
existing
units,
our
citywide
rental
replacement
policy
would
apply
continue
to
apply.
There
are
very
few
directly
related
rental
rental
units.
This
is
a
change
area
that
is
undergoing
regeneration,
so
there
there
likely
will
be
very
few
of
those
types
of
situations.
No
real
displays.
Okay,
right.
H
Okay,
but
we
don't
need
to
articulate
it
in
this
document,
so
then
I
just
have
one
other
question
when
this
began
the
ambition
around
this,
and
there
are
some
applicants.
I
understand
already
queued
up
when
this
began
was
under
the
old
planning
regime.
Pre-Bill
108,
even
and
so
I'm
wondering
if
staff
have
had
a
chance
to
look
at
what
the
change
to
to
the
community
benefit
in
the
new
provincial
government's
regime
might
actually
mean.
H
If
we're
we
have
a
secondary
plan
and
now,
as
we
go
through
the
applications,
we're
probably
only
gonna
get
about
a
third
of
the
section.
37
and
development
charge
types
and
suites
of
things.
Are
we
still
going
to
be
able
to
meet
the
infrastructure
needs
of
this
area
under
the
the
province's
new
rules?.
O
O
O
However,
what's
important
here
is
that
this
plan,
the
goal
of
my
secondary
plan,
is
and
will
be,
council's
view
of
and
guide
us
as
we
as
we
evaluate
these
applications,
and
the
pre-existing
policy
framework
was
not
sufficient
to
help
us
evaluate
these
applications.
O
So
it's
very
important
that
we
are
able
to
you
know
to
use
the
the
the
direction
of
this
plan
to
resolve
any
differences
that
we
have
with
any
applications
and
to
continue
to
process
those
applications
in
a
way
that
achieves
the
objectives
of
the
plan
as
much
as
possible.
M
Similar
questions
to
counselor
carols,
having
reviewed
the
effect
of
the
new
rules
for
fees
by
developers
in
willowdale,
and
seeing
that,
based
on
an
analysis
of
several
sites,
we
would
be
receiving
approximately
25
of
the
amounts
we
were
receiving
previously.
M
I
think
there
is
a
huge
potential
problem
for
plans
like
this.
Where
you're
you
know
you
kind
of
highlighted
the
community
services
and
the
child
care
centers
and
the
you
know
complete
city
within
a
city,
but
my
view-
and
I
know
you're
still
studying
this,
but
based
on
what
I've
seen
so
far,
there
will
be
no
chance
of
achieving
that
with
the
current
amounts
that
developers.
J
O
O
As
you
know,
councilor,
philly
and
other
members
of
council
we've
expressed
the
position
that,
through
the
transition
to
the
cdc,
we
want
to
maintain
revenue
neutrality.
O
In
other
words,
we
want
to
be
where
we
were
before
the
new
cbc,
which
we
have
two
years
to
bring
into
effect.
We
want
to
be
where
we
were
on
on
a
on
an
infrastructure
revenue
perspective
from
that
perspective,
so,
for
example,
we
will
continue
to
work
very
hard
to
make
sure
that
we
use
existing
tools,
even
if
they
transition
somehow
to
to
achieve
the
kind
of
infrastructure
that
we
need
to
build
a
complete
community.
O
That
will
be
our
going
in
position
and
that's
why
the
plan
is
important
to
have,
because
it
tells
us.
You
know
what
we
need
on
that
on
that
shopping
list
and
and
guides
us
in
the
negotiations,
both
specifically
with
applications,
but
also
more
generally,
as
we
transition
from
a
former
section
37
world
to
a
new
cbc
world.
M
So
thank
you
for
that
answer
and
just
I'm
just
trying
to
make
sure
I'm
interpreting
it
properly
so
that
even
after
2022,
when
the
new
cbc
is
in
place,
if
we
are
unable,
through
that
to
achieve
the
type
of
community
that
you
plan
for
that
could
be
a
reason
to
refuse
an
application.
Am
I
interpreting
that
correctly.
O
O
Everything
that
we
can
do
to
support
that
proposition
and
ultimately
a
case
if
it
came
under
appeal,
is,
is
helpful
for
us,
as
we
as
we
create
that
that
new
environment
under
the
cbc
we'll
have
to
take
steps,
especially
in
our
growth
areas,
to
make
sure
that
we
either
can
rely
on
it
on
the
old
world
system
to
to
achieve
the
infrastructure
we
need
or
transition
into
the
new
world
legislation
again
in
a
way
that
delivers
on
the
infrastructure
that
we
need
to
build
these
communities.
M
R
Thank
you.
Sorry
thanks,
mr
lintorn
very
exciting
project.
Could
you
please
elaborate
on
the
affordable
housing
plans
here
that
you've
incorporated
in
the
secondary.
O
So
through
the
speaker,
the
the
secondary
plan
relies
on
our
existing
framework
in
the
official
plan.
That
is,
the
large
site
policy.
O
Many
of
the
sites
in
the
area
are
subject
to
the
large
site
policy
which
is
in
force
and
we'll
be
pursuing
implementation
of
affordable
housing
at
a
base
level,
at
least
through
that
policy,
which
allows
for,
as
you
know,
three
ways
of
achieving
affordable
housing,
either
through
the
conveyance
of
land
through
units
that
are
owned
by
the
developer
and
through
straight
convenient
conveyance
of
units.
O
It
allows
for
those
three
options
and
typically,
over
the
past
period
of
time,
we've
been
relying
on
that
I'll
say
that
in
the
future,
as
we
transition
to-
and
this
is
an
official
plan
document
only-
it
is
not
a
zoning
bylaw
as
we
transition
and
hopefully
gain
the
permission
to
utilize
inclusionary
zoning
over
time.
O
This
area,
along
eglinton
avenue,
is
considered
considered
to
be
a
strong
market
and
in
that
context,
as
you
know,
we're
working
through
phc
to
bring
forward
inclusionary
zoning
policies
and
we
would
see
we
would
see
ultimately
utilizing
inclusionary
zoning
in
this
area
and
we
believe
the
potential
in
the
area
is
in
the
order
of
two
to
four
thousand
affordable
housing
units.
O
O
That's
a
ballpark,
yes
again
we're
dealing
at
a
at
an
op
level
right
now
and
we
would
hope
that,
ultimately,
as
we
not
all
the
sites
are
large
sites.
But,
as
you
know,
so,
the
opportunities
will
be
initially
restricted
to
large
sites.
But,
as
you
know,
we
often
can
look
for
opportunities
to
add
in
city
incentives
in
some
of
the
projects
that
that
serves
to
create
more
affordable
housing
or
deepen
the
subsidy
on
some
of
the
units
to
achieve
a
broader
range
of
affordable
rents.
R
O
It
is
the
affordable
housing
approach
is
acknowledged
in
the
report
and
and
certainly
all
the
dimensions
of
building
a
complete
community
are
acknowledged
in
the
plan
in
the
report.
O
I
Thank
you,
madam
speaker,
through
you,
madam
speaker,
the
work
that
you've
done
with
the
secondary
plan,
I
would
assume,
will
be
a
large
part
of
the
work
that
needed
to
be
done
for
the
mtsa
studies.
Correct.
O
Yes,
through
the
speaker,
that's
correct.
It's
foundational
for
the
mtsa
study
studies
and
I
would
say,
makes
us
mtsa
ready.
I
O
They
are
a
strong
market
area,
they
have
transit
under
construction.
I
would
say
they
are
strong
candidates
for
phase
one.
I
just
don't
have
that
map
in
front
of
me,
but
I
would
say
it's
likely.
I
I
wanted
to
confirm
because
then
I
would
move
a
motion
because
you've
done
so
much
work,
yeah
they
should
be
ready
and
that's
the
prerequisite
to
have
the
inclusionary
zoning
done.
So
I
think
these
are
really
strong
candidates
to
be
some
of
the
first
sites
that
we
are
actually
ready
would
be
ready
to
introduce
this,
because
so
much
work
has
been
done
through
the
secondary.
O
Yes
definitively,
they
are
part
of
phase
one
just
receive
that
information.
P
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
speaker,
and
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
the
questions
that
they've
asked.
I
first
of
all
want
to.
I
don't
have
any
emotions.
I
think
we've
exhausted
the
motions
that
I've
needed
to
move
through
the
process
of
community
council
and
so
on.
I
want
to
thank
certainly
mr
lintern
and
his
presentation
and
his
leadership.
P
I've
had
to
bend
his
ears
on
numerous
occasions
on
on
this
file,
but
I
want
to
thank
the
team
in
the
east,
as
mr
lintern
has
referred
to,
led
by
paul
giuliani
and
his
expert
guidance,
and
also
heavy
lifting
by
emily
caldwell,
and
she
has
just
absolutely
been
terrific,
schroype
and
all
the
other
amazing
members
of
the
scarborough
planning
team.
I
want
to
thank
them
very
much
for
the
hard
work
that
they've
done.
P
P
It
has
been
also
an
area
that
has
been
influential
in
canada's
development
in
the
world's
development.
This
is
the
area
where
munition
and
ammunition
were
produced
for
the
second
world
war,
where
the
famous
bomber
girls,
we
are
basically
came
to
life.
We
have
tunnels.
P
We've
got
a
vast
array
of
exciting
things
that
are
here,
but
the
golden
mile
has,
you
know
not
seen
quite
frankly,
the
growth
it
has
been
described
as
the
golden
mile
of
industry
at
that
period,
where
we
had
on
the
south
side,
gym
manufacturing,
plant
and
so
on,
and
as
mr
lintern
has
pointed
out,
there's
not
a
lot
of
people
living
there.
It's
not
animated.
It
is.
P
We've
got
the
big
boxes
and
so
on,
but
this
is
a
great
opportunity
now
for
the
gmsp
really
to
come
alive,
and
it's
not
going
to
happen
overnight.
We
get
that
the
infrastructure
that's
actually
in
place
right
now
is
such
that
it
is
not
a
complete
community,
but
we
are
now
you
know,
preparing
and
planning
for
a
complete
community,
and
I'm
really
happy
about
that.
Many
of
the
members
of
the
community
are
excited
about
that
they've
been
very
much
engaged.
They
have
seen.
Obviously
their
ideas
considered.
P
I
miss
caldwell
in
terms
of
leading
many
of
the
consultation
process
where
a
vast
array
of
people
actually
came
out
to
show
their
interests,
their
concerns
and
so
on,
and
I'm
thankful
to
the
community
for
their
engagement,
their
involvement
in
this
particular
process.
This
is
exciting
for
us.
It's
it's
an
important
opportunity
for
us,
my
very
first
job
as
a
13
year
old
kid
in
scarborough
was
at
the
intersection
of
pharmacy
and
eglinton
at
burger
king.
That
was
my
very
first
job.
We're
going
to
see
that
that
entire
era
will
transform.
P
It
may
not
be
in
my
lifetime,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
that
this
process,
led
by
this
council,
is
leading
this
opportunity,
and
I
will
tell
you
speaker,
the
main
ingredient
with
respect
to
this
transformation
is
transit.
It's
the
expansion
of
transit
and
the
issues
around
affordable
housing.
The
issue
around
council
crest
fletcher
asked
about
the
I
think.
Councilor
carol
talked
about
displacement
and
so
on
so
forth,
those
are
all
baked
in
affordable
housing.
P
Those
are
the
discussions
that
we've
talked
about
community
benefits
engaging
in
the
community
to
ensure
that
they
have
a
stay
to
be
able
to
work,
live
and
play
in
their
community.
This
is
extremely
exciting
for
us,
the
number
of
parks
that
are
going
to
be
in
this
area,
nine
new
parks.
The
fact
of
the
matter
is
that
we've
been
having
discussions
with
landowners
and
I'm
excited
to
tell
members
of
council.
We
have
been
able
to
negotiate
some
amazing
numbers
so
far
for
section
37,
including
obviously
the
parkland
component
part.
P
I
can
tell
you
that
it's
very
much
in
keeping
with
the
the
current
situations
that
are
in
place
and
as
mr
lintern
has
indicated,
you
know
the
changes
do
not
come
into
effect
for
another
two
two
years
and
I
was
very
concerned
about
that
in
terms
of
the
changes
coming
in
effect
and
recognizing
that
this
development
in
this
you
know
100
and
over
100
hectares,
is
not
going
to
happen
overnight
as
to
whether
or
not
we
would
actually,
you
know
be
impacted
so
negatively
talk.
P
D
Oh
okay,
mr
mayor,
we
have
your
timed
item
that
was
scheduled
for
11
o'clock
mm-2532.
The
motion
has
been
circulated.
J
Through
the
speaker,
it's
julie,
carboni.
I
think.
O
Through
madam
speaker
to
deputy
mayor
holiday,.
J
We're
still
working
through
the
process
on
site
identification,
part
of
our
process
will
be
to
reach.
O
Out
to
the
market,
through
the
broker
community
and
to
conduct
a
public
theft
solicitation
there's
our
goal
is
to
develop
a
robust
pipeline
of
site.
We
do
have
a
working
list,
but
currently
we
can't
expose
it
as
it'll
impact
our
ability
to
effectively
translate
I'm
sorry
to
transact.
I
mean
the
whole
pro.
Our
whole
process
is
with
the
intent
of.
J
Of
ensuring
that
we
have
a
fulsome
assessment
of
available
and.
O
Potential
sites
so
that
we
have
a
large
funnel
that
that
we
can
assess
for
that.
J
J
We
have
the
housing
secretary,
it
has
a
deadline
of
november
27th
to
submit
her
program
requirements
which
would
include
the
list
of
sites
and
this
this
report
delegates
that
to
the
to
the
to
the
city
staff
management
through
you,
madam
speaker,
that
is
correct.
Thank
you.
That's
it.
D
S
Yeah,
the
question
is:
how
much
time
do
we
have
to
deliver
a
response
to
the
province?
J
Through
the
speaker,
it's
julie,
carboni.
We
have.
S
S
What
the
timeline
is
here,
it's
unprecedented
that
we
have
to
do
this
all
within
one
year
and
it's
fantastic
that
we
have
this
opportunity
to
provide
for
affordable
housing
and
housing,
supportive
housing.
The
the
question
I
have
you
know,
given
you
know
what
the
province
is
now
doing
on
a
regular
basis.
That
is
the
ministerial
zoning
orders,
like
we've
just
saw
on
the
west
don
lands
where
they
choose
their
priorities
for
housing.
S
It's
usually
market
condominiums.
S
Can
we
not,
as
a
city,
develop
our
own
internal
version
of
a
council
or
minute
our
planning
director's
zoning
order,
which
basically
dovetails
and
complies
with
our
priorities
as
a
city
in
providing
you
know,
affordable,
supportive
housing?
Can
we
not
develop
our
own
streamline
way
of
making
approvals
expedited
so
that
we
don't
lose
time
and
okay.
S
That's
what
I
asked
yes,
mr
linton,
can
we
not
expedite
our
approval
process?
O
Through
the
speaker,
the
answer
is
yes,
we
can,
and
yes,
we
are.
D
J
J
I
think
it's
really
hard
to
be
a
good
service
manager
and
meet
that
timeline,
and
I
don't
to
me
it's
like
going
to
the
store
and
buying
a
pack
of
hockey
cards.
You
don't
know,
what's
inside
the
pack
until
you've
already
bought
it,
and
maybe
there's
some
really
good
projects
here
and
maybe
there's
some
that
I'd
be
concerned
with
anyways.
I
I
don't
particularly
like
surprises,
and
I
don't
think
that
the
public
does
either,
and
I
regret
that
we're
in
this
position.
L
Thank
you
speaker
I,
as
an
advocate
for
affordable
housing.
I
think
is
very,
very
good
that
good
news
about
this
funding
that
the
government
is
giving
and
I'm
very
very
happy
that
councillor
cole
asked
that
question
about
whether
we
can
streamline
our
approval
process,
because
you
know
a
lot
of
times.
L
We
we
need
to
change
a
little
bit
of
how
we
do
things,
and
you
know,
especially
in
terms
of
affordable
housing,
and
I
am
very
happy
that
in
the
report
that
it
says
that
about
8
000
units
of
rental,
affordable
program
and
it's
very,
very
exciting,
now
to
get
that
kind
of
in
times
of
the
covet
and
about
affordable
housing,
and
I
just
wanted
to
ensure
that
staff
would
keep
the
local
counsellor
informed,
as
the
recommendation
said
that
they
will
work
closely
with
the
with
the
local
counselor
on
community
engagement
and
those
kind
of
things,
and
I
really
appreciate
it
and
all
very
good
good
news.
S
Had
my
name
to
speak,
madam
chair,
I
was
down
to
speak.
S
Thank
you.
Yes,
I
think
this
is
a
very
pleasant
surprise.
I
mean,
instead
of
sort
of
being
negative
about
this
incredible
gift
of
200
million
dollars
to
provide
affordable,
supportive
housing.
We
should
be
very,
very
appreciative
of
this
and
work
with
it
and
not
sort
of
now
whine
and
say.
Well.
We
can't
do
it
this
fast
and
we
don't
want
this
kind
of
thing
happening.
S
You
know,
I
think
we
have
an
urgency
here.
I
mean
there's
a
incredible
urgency
to
provide
housing
of
all
forms
in
the
city
of
toronto
and
therefore
we
shouldn't
sort
of
go
hide
in
a
corner
and
complain
about
this.
Let
us
be
aggressive,
let
us
be
prudent
and
let
us
work
with
our
planning
staff
and
with
all
the
potential
partners
we
have
here
to
do
something
with
this
200
million
dollars.
S
For
you
know,
it's
the
mayor's
number
one
priority
is
housing
and
we've
had
this
very
important
allocation
of
money
to
the
city.
After
all
these
years
of
complaining
that
there's
no
money
being
put
on
the
table,
so
now
we
have
the
money.
So
let's
not
complain
about
the
money.
Let's
start
building,
we've
got
some
of
the
best
engineers
contractors
carpenters.
S
What
we
have
in
the
way
is
our
processes,
which
are
there
for
good
reason,
but
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
the
general
manager
planning
has
said
that
they
have
a
way
okay
of
putting
in
an
expedited
process
so
that
we
don't
bury.
You
know
the
process
to
get
affordable,
supportive
housing
for
people
that
are.
You
know,
we've
got
a
waiting
list
of
how
many
120
000
people.
S
D
D
So
hopefully
the
planning
staff
will
work
to
to
process
these
applications
that
have
been
delayed.
Thank
you.
We'll
hold
the
item
down
for
the
mayor
to
speak
later
now,
we'll
go
back
to
the
scarborough
item.
G
Thank
you,
madam
speaker,
and
just
on
what
counselor
thompson
said,
even
though
it
was
a
few
minutes
ago.
I
do
want
to
thank
the
entire
planning
team
out
in
the
east,
paul
giuliani,
of
course,
who
led
it,
along
with
emily
caldwell,
the
entire
team
wielding
scarborough,
the
community
council
and
myself
over
the
last
two
years,
as
the
city
council
of
that
area
have
worked
incredibly
hard
with
that
team
out
there
under
a
lot
of
different
circumstances,
especially
over
the
last
number
of
months
with
the
with
the
pandemic.
G
But
with
you
know
what
the
entire
community,
the
public
engagement
that
has
taken
place
and
recognizing
the
size
of
this
is
massive.
You
know,
even
at
the
43
000
people
moving
into
that
area,
you
know
20
000
jobs,
and
I
know
a
number
of
my
colleagues
have
gone
through
these
secondary
plans
and
we've
seen
those
plans
come
to
fruition
over
the
amount
a
number
of
years.
G
This
is
a
huge
opportunity
for
scarborough
and
when
you
think
about
the
golden
mile,
as
michael
had
mentioned,
if
you
live
in
scarborough
or
have
lived
in
scarborough
or
close
by,
you
have
a
memory
of
the
golden
mile.
Whether
you
were
younger,
whether
you're
older,
whether
you
go
to
the
edwin
town
center,
when
you're
early
as
a
senior
to
the
food
court
or
you
were
aware
or.
J
G
Have
been
around
when
the
mcqueen
actually
opened
up
the
golden
mile,
I
think
over
50
years
ago
we
all
have
memories.
We
have
all
been
there
and
we
have
seen
it
change
over
the
last
number
of
years,
and
I
think
this
is
you
know
the
ultimate
change
for
the
golden
mile
and
I
think
for
scarborough
as
we
move
forward.
So
I'm
very
much
supportive
of
everything
that
we
have
been
doing
on
this
and
it's
a
good
opportunity
for
the
city.
G
It's
a
good
opportunity
for
scarborough,
which
in
many
ways
this
would
be
looked
at
as
one
of
the
gateways
into
scarborough
and
it's
going
to
be
overall
good.
Now
I
do
have
to
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
sort
of
bring
up
a
few
comments
or
or
comments
I've
heard
from
a
number
of
landowners.
G
As
I
said,
this
is
a
great
report,
but
it's
now
where
the
real
work
begins
to
ensure
that
we
can
have
this
vision
come.
You
know
come
to
fruition,
whether
it's
5
10
15
20
years
from
now.
J
G
I've
also
had
a
conversation
with
many
of
the
landowners
on
the
south
side
of
edmonton,
which
takes
up
my
part
of
the
award
and
they
are
concerned.
You
know
with
their
viability
with
the
sustainability.
A
lot
has
to
do
with.
What's
happened
over
the
last
number
of
months,
but
there
are
concerns.
There
are
questions
that
they
have
and
I
know
our
staff
have
been
working.
G
In
fact,
we
deferred
this
report
coming
to
council
for
a
number
of
months,
so
our
staff
could
actually
go
out
and
have
those
individual
conversations
with
landowners,
and
I
want
to
thank
them
for
that.
They
did
an
incredible
amount
of
work,
but.
Q
G
As
we're
looking
at
sort
of
reconciling
division
of
what
we're
trying
to
achieve,
we
also
have
to
look
at
you
know
the
next
process
and
there
will
be
appeals
that
will
be
coming
we'll
be
looking
at
the
appeals
to
the
municipal
comprehensive
review,
and
I
think
it
would
be
remiss
for
us
as
as
a
city,
and
I
think,
as
our
staff
to
really
look
carefully
and
look
seriously
at
a
number
of
these
appeals
reviews
that
are
going
to
be
coming
forward
to
ensure
that
we
can
look
at
understanding
the
challenges
that
a
number
of
the
landowners
are
facing
and
try-
and
I
think,
as
I
said
when
I've
talked
to
these
landlords,
they
want
this
vision
to
to
succeed.
G
They
absolutely
want
this
to
succeed,
but
I
think
in
the
realities
that
we
have
been
facing
over
the
last
number
of
months,
we
need
and
recognizing
that
this
secondary
plan
has
been
in
the
works
with
over
three
years.
A
lot
has
changed
in
those
three
years
and
I
think,
as
we
move
forward,
to
ensure
that
we
have
success
in
this
secondary
plan,
that
we
have
to
really
look
carefully
at
that.
As
we
look
at
all
the
other
processes,
but
and.
B
G
R
Thank
you
very
much
speaker.
I
also
agree.
This
is
a
a
pretty
exciting
development
it.
It
is
a
really
long-term
development
and
you
might
I'm
very
very
familiar
with
with
this
site.
When
I
first
came
to
toronto,
I
went
to
ashton
b
campus,
which
is
very
near
there.
I
was
with
performing
at
the
closing
of
the
van
plant,
the
the
van
plant.
Everyone
knows,
the
the
scarborough
gm
van
plant,
which
fortunately
closed,
and
so
many
jaws
were
lost,
and
this
is
part
of
a
long
morphing
of
this
area.
R
Many
times
been
to
metro,
the
bay
and
fabric
land.
It's
very
near
and
dear
to
me,
my
kids
and
my
mother-in-law.
We've
spent
much
time
in
this
area.
I
did
ask
about
affordable
housing.
I
think
it
was
in
mr
linton
in
red
in
his
report,
but
he
wasn't
commented
on
so
I
think
this
is
a
big
opportunity
and
I
would
be
very
interested
to
see
what
the
large
sites
are
and
what
the
goals
are
for.
Affordable
housing
along
along
this
site
also
just
want
to
say.
R
I
think
one
of
the
reasons
why
this
will
be
very
successful
is
that
the
lrt
is
going
through
there
councilor
thompson-
I
just
stephanie
mayer.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
not
trying
to
turn
this
into
an
underground,
lrt,
simply
because
this
is
now
going
to
be
the
most
vibrant
part
of
the
street.
It
will
be
such
as
we
play
east
and
queen
west,
which
are
the
development
nodes
which
are
being
sought
after
by
developers
in
particular,
because
they
have
a
streetcar.
R
R
I
think
that
they
were
very
much
built
for
dens
to
increase
the
density,
and,
what's
turned
out
is
that
density
is
increased
first
and
foremost
on
those
lines
where
people
are
on
the
street
for
this
form
of
housing.
So
I
think
the
faster
the
lrt
can
get
there.
The
faster
this
great
project
can
be
realized,
and
I
know
that
you
mirror
I'm
sure
we
built
before
you're
gone
from
this
earth.
R
I
hope
that
it'll
be
built
before
we're
both
gone
from
this
earth,
but
nonetheless
this
is
a
very
good
stamp
for
everyone
to
revitalize
this
section
of
of
this
important
area.
This
gateway,
because
it
does
leave
the
east
end
of
toronto
and
meet
scarborough.
It
is
a
very
important
intersection
victoria
park
and
eglinton,
and
I
just
want
to
say
good
work
to
everybody.
I
know
there's
more
things
to
do.
There's
community
benefits
agreements
that
have
to
be
negotiated,
there's,
affordable,
housing
that
has
to
be
negotiated.
H
Just
briefly,
madam
speaker,
I
wasn't
going
to
say
this
on
air,
but
I
I
think
I
am
I
I
really
especially
want
to
thank
councillor
thompson
and
his
team
and
his
residents,
because
the
staff
have
already
been
thanked
profusely,
but
the
experience
along
shepard
avenue,
councillor
phillium,
will
probably
agree
with
me
and
if
our
girlfriend
counselor
scheiner
was
here,
he
would
certainly
agree
to
take
your
residence
through
the
a
transit-generated
secondary
plan
and
to
totally
re-imagine
and
to
to
get
to
the
point
of
accepting
big
density
does
have
to
happen
to
make
this
transit
viable,
and
so
let's
plan
it
and
let's
plan
our
future
and
and
accept
that
you
are
going
to
see
40,
000
plus
new
residents.
H
It
is
perhaps
the
most
difficult
piece
of
engagement
there
is,
but
this
is
going
to
be
welcome
news
that
I'm
going
to
feature
in
my
next
communication
to
to
my
community,
because
along
shepard
avenue,
the
residents
often
say
okay,
you're
telling
us
that
we
have
to
accept
all
this
growth
because
of
our
subway,
and
we
don't
see
it
happening
everywhere
else
where
new
transit
is
coming.
And
here
we
are,
with
the
the
golden
mile,
we're
going
to
all
call
it
as
councilor
thompson
does
the
gmsp
from
now
on.
H
Here
we
are
looking
at
the
gmsp
and
seeing
that
yes,
this
is
what
new
transit
brings,
but
you
get
the
transit
and
if
you
all
work
together,
you
get
really
good
planning
and
and
and
that's
the
piece
the
local
counselor
has
to
add
to
staff's
efforts.
And
so
I
want
to
congratulate
him
because
this
seems
to
have
happened
relatively
smoothly
over
the
last
few
years.
H
G
D
G
D
Okay,
yes,
you've
already
placed
pumpkin
patch.
You
spoke
at
the
at
the
other
day
yeah.
So
we've
already
asked
questions
to
staff
on
this
item.
Am
I
correct?
I
Madam
speaker,
I'd
like
to
place
the
peace
in
the
valley
motion,
so
everybody
is
happy.
I
think,
with
this
we
can
get
the
skateboard
park
for
the
area
and
we
have
a
source
of.
B
I
Funding
is
through
the
use
of
available
section
37
and
42
contributions.
Counselor,
that's
what
the
motion
says.
B
I
D
Q
C
No
for
you,
madam
speaker,
it
does
not.
The
constitution
divides
powers
into
two
categories,
federal
and
provincial,
and
the
four
areas
of
jurisdiction
listed
in
the
motion
are
in
fact
within
the
provincial
realm.
However,
if
this
was
to
be
done
through
a
an
amendment
to
the
constitution,
the
federal
government
buy-in
would
be
required
through
approval
at
the
senate
house
of
commons
level.
C
Would
provincia
buy
in
them.
T
C
C
There
would
be
some
there
there's
room
for
some
debate
about
whether
that,
however,
that
the
types
of
amendments
contemplated
here
would
be
an
amendment
to
section
92
and
might
require
additional
authority
through
buy-in
from
other
provinces.
C
T
T
Is
it
true
that
what
you're
referring
to
is
that
there
is
a
a
possibility,
if
not
a
probability,
that
if,
if
the
federal
government
and
a
single
province
are
in
concurrence
on
a
matter
like
providing
a
city
charter
that
that
that
single
province,
amendment
has
been
used
before
on
other
matters
and
could
very
well
be
used
in
this
case,.
C
T
C
Q
Thank
you
speaker
like
counselor,
matlow
and,
frankly,
most
torontonians.
I.
T
Q
Q
Yes,
the
council
mappo's
motion
that
somehow
asking
the
federal
government
to
do
something
about
this
broken
relationship
accomplishes
anything
is
misleading
at
best,
it
would
still
require
the
province
of
ontario
to
pass
a
piece
of
legislation
identical
to
what
we're
asking
the
federal
government
here
to
do
in
order
to
achieve
any
effect.
In
other
words,
the
provincial
government
would
still
hold
all
the
cards,
so
we
accomplished
nothing
by
voting
for
councillor
matlow's
motion.
If
our
goal
is
to
somehow
get
around
the
problems
we've
been
having
with
the
problems
of
ontario,
you
heard.
J
Q
Q
Q
If
we
want
to
have
a
conversation
about
changing
roles
and
responsibilities
and
authorities
between
the
different
orders
of
government,
you
can't
do
it
by
a
motion
brought
as
a
member's
motion
and
then
voted
on
by
26
people.
That's
not
how
you
come
to
a
consensus
on
a
new
way
of
delivering
government
services
and
a
new
set
of
relationships
between
governments.
Q
Q
Counselor,
matlow's
approach,
short
circus
short
circuits.
All
of
that
so
both
because
we
would
be
telling
people
that
we're
accomplishing
something
when
we're
not,
and
also
because,
if
we're
going
to
change,
who
does
what
we
really
need
to
have
the
people
who
depend
on
these
services
and
who
elect
us
be
part
of
the
conversation
about
who
does
what.
J
T
Madam
speaker
I'll
speak
to
councilor
perks's
comments
first
and
then
I'll
get
into
the
substance
of
the
motion.
I
I
think
councilor
perks
has
misinterpreted
the
motion.
At
best,
there
is,
as
the
city
solicitor
concurred,
a
provision
in
the
constitution
referred
to
as
a
single
province
amendment
it's
been
used
before.
T
T
The
mechanism
is
the
single
province
amendment
a
lot
of
people
don't
understand
it.
Sometimes
they
misinterpret
it
or
sometimes
they
get
into
rhetoric
around
what
can
or
cannot
happen,
but
there
is
a
mechanism
that
the
federal
government
takes
can
take
the
lead
on.
But
nowhere
in
this
motion
does
it
suggest
that
that
the
provincial
government
wouldn't
have
to
buy
in.
It's
simply
saying
provide
the
mechanism.
T
The
mechanism
we
know
exists,
although
the
silly
city
solicitor
did
say
that
there
is
some
controversy
over
whether
or
not
it
can
happen,
but
many
many
ex
constitutional
experts
suggest
it
can
so
so
the
the
reason
that
a
b
and
c
a
b,
c
and
d
are
there
are
for
this
reason,
one
we've
learned
through
the
pandemic
that,
when
we
based
on
the
advice
of
our
local
public
health
experts,
deemed
that
we
have
a
local
public
health
priority,
sometimes
it
takes
a
week
or
more
to
convince
the
provincial
government
to
take
actions
that
we've
decided
are
in
the
best
interest
of
our
local
residents
b,
municipal
elections
and
governance.
T
I
don't
need
to
tell
you
in
2018
that
was
an
example
of
when
the
provincial
government
ignored
the
city's
position
and
then
more
recently,
whether
or
not
you
like
ranked
ballots.
The
fact
that
they
just
unilaterally
decided
to
remove
that
option
was
wrong
c
financial
matters.
Our
mayor
has
said
that
he
has
been
frustrated
time
and
time
again
when
he's
gone
to
the
provincial
government,
including
the
the
wind
government,
to
ask
for
road
tolls
on
the
dvp
and
gardner.
T
I'm
not
asking
you
to
agree
or
disagree
with
that
concept
that
suggestion,
but
we
should
debate
it
locally
and
we
should
be
able
to
make
decisions
about
our
finances:
locally
d,
land
use
planning
and
construction
matters,
bill,
108,
opa-405
ministerial
zoning
zoning
orders.
I
could
go
through
the
list
where
the
province
ignores
the
city's
plan,
the
city
decisions
based
on
our
expert
planners
and
communities.
T
Why
are
these
four
there
because
they
are
pressing
concerns
that
I
believe
that
there's
concurrence
amongst
councillors
and
members
of
our
community
about
they
also
are
the
most
common
items
in
city
charters
prevailing
in
american
cities
throughout
the
united
states,
whether
it
be
los
angeles,
new
york,
chicago
and
I
could
go
through
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
others.
What
we're
asking
for
and
by
the
way,
almost
all
of
you,
I
believe,
have
voted
for
similar
emotions
like
this
in
the
past.
T
The
reason
I
bring
it
again
now,
it's
really
reiterating
what
we've
already
agreed
to
as
a
council
is
that
we
can't
keep
being
non-existence
when
it
comes
to
governance
in
this
country.
Cities
don't
exist
constitutionally.
We
are
creatures
of
the
province.
T
T
To
say,
please
provide
that
mechanism
that
single
province,
amendment
work
with
us
take
the
lead,
try
to
rally
the
provinces
towards
this,
not
just
for
toronto,
but
for
vancouver,
montreal
calgary
edmonton,
and
so
many
more
that's
what
we're
asking
for
and
I
to
be
very
candid:
I
have
a
lot
of
respect
for
councilor
perks.
I
know
that
he's
very
no.
He
he
looks
at
every
word.
T
M
Thank
you,
counselor
perks
is
correct
that
nothing
is
going
to
happen
anytime
soon
with
this.
He
is
wrong
that
there
is
nothing
gained
by
adopting
this
motion
in
the
short
term,
it
draws
attention
to
the
abuse
really
that
the
city
of
toronto
has
had
from
this
provincial
government,
whether
you're
talking
about
the
old
doug,
you
know
chopping
the
number
of
counselors
in
the
middle
of
an
election
or
the
new
doug.
M
You
know,
taking
you
know
arbitrary
action
regarding
ranked
ballots
or
the
extreme
cases
we've
had
with
ministerial
orders
with
planning
issues.
You
know
it
is
really
completely
unacceptable
and
we
need
to
at
least
be
alerting
residents
to
the
extent
to
which
that
is
taking
place
like
never
has
before
and
in
the
long
term.
You
know
provincial
governments
change,
and
there
is
you
know
there.
It
is.
It
is
certainly
very
possible
that
you
could
get.
J
M
Alignment
of
a
federal
government
and
a
provincial
government
and
the
citizens
of
toronto,
who
would
support
this
kind
of
change
and
it
could
actually
happen,
and
there
will
of
course
be
lots
of
opportunity
for
the
type
of
public
engagement
that
counselor
perks
is
talking
about.
I
think
all
of
that
is
already
happening
somewhat
spontaneously,
so
I
hope
we
will
adopt
the
motion.
H
Thank
you,
madam
speaker,
if,
if
clerks
could
put
up
the
motion
that
I
expand
circulated,
so
I
don't
have
the
copy
of
it
now
to
read
here.
It
is.
H
If
you're
looking
at
the
original
motion,
you
you'll
probably
understand
the
the
change
I'm
making.
I'm
simply
changing
the
direction
of
the
report.
That's
being
requested
city
council,
direct
city
manager
to
report
through
the
economic
and
community
development
committee
to
city
to
and
on
to
city
council
meeting
on
the
process
that
was
used
to
establish
the
shelter
at
30.
North
inch
drive
so
councillors
there.
There
really
is
no
attempt
to
mislead.
As
was
said
this
morning,
the
motion
that
is
before
us
ask
for
a
report
from
staff
directly
to
counsel
and
counselors.
H
Simply
don't
do
that
if
you're
reporting,
if
you're
asking
for
a
report,
request
it,
it
goes
through
a
standing
committee
and
on
to
council-
and
the
reason
is
this:
if
there
are
concerns
in
the
community
about
this
process
on
its
standing
committee
visit,
the
residents
who
are
concerned
have
an
opportunity
to
come
and
speak
to
us
and
that's
a
really
important
piece.
But
more
importantly,
when
I
saw
this
motion,
I
thought
oh,
that's
skipping
a
step.
I
just
got
to
check
the
procedure.
H
What
the
clerk
led
me
to
understand
is
that
this
this
report
request
in
the
november
council,
has
already
missed
the
deadline.
The
report
couldn't
be
created
and
brought
there
in
time.
In
any
case,
this
allows
it
not
only
to
have
an
airing
for
the
public,
but
it
allows
staff
to
resolve
issues
that
may
have
have
already
been
brought
to
the
board
last
month
and
will
be
brought
to
the
foreign
committee.
H
It
it
gives
them
the
ability
to
resolve
the
issues
that
councillor
pruza
has
and
propose
them
in
time
for
when
it
actually
does
come
to
counsel,
that's
actually
the
the
path
that
our
procedural
bylaws
recommend
that
clerks
recommend,
and
I
think,
because
there
are
some
issues
around
norfish,
the
public
would
recommend,
because
if,
if
they're
upset
they're
going
to
want
to
speak
to
it
and
they're
going
to
want
their
counselor
to
have
an
opportunity
to
remedy
the
situation
and
that
remedying
really
needs
a
first
airing
in
the
standing
committee,
that's
my
reason
for
moving
this
and
that's
why?
H
D
F
F
You
know
I
this
this
site
was
opened
in
the
ward
in
may.
I
found
out
about
it
in
september
through
a
constituent's
call.
I
just
want
to
know
the
process
that
was
followed
pure
and
simple.
I
don't
I
don't
want
to.
You
know,
create
a
series
of
hearings
on
it.
I
don't
want
to,
you
know,
create
a
brouhaha.
I
think
I'm
entitled
to
the
information
the
staff
has
had
well
over
a
month
to
sort
of
think
about
what
they
would
put
in
a
one
page
or
two
page.
F
You
know
memo
to
to
city
council
outlining
the
the
process
that
was
followed.
I
I
will
I'm
hoping
that
people
will
just
simply
support
my
motion.
It's
just
simply
a
request
to
ask
for
information
not
to
create
a
process
not
to
create
a
debate
not
to
create
a
brouhaha
not
to
create
a
diversion
and
again.
A
F
You
know
you
know
what
you've
always
been
very,
very
helpful
to
me
and
and
and
I've
noted
that
the
fact
that
you've
always
been
very,
very
helpful
to
me
on
on
and
just
about
everything
I've
ever
tried
to
do
at
council.
I
I
expect
that
in
the
future,
where
you
will
continue
to
be
helpful
to
me
very
much
in
the
same
way,
I
suspect
that
there
will
be
continuity
in
that
regard.
Look
I.
I
don't
want
to
delay
this,
I'm
hoping
that
people
will
vote
down.
F
D
Thompson,
did
you
want
to
speak
or
ask
a
question.
P
Thank
you
very
much
speaker
as
the
chair
of
the
community
economic
and
community
council.
I
think
it's
really
important
for
people
to
understand
what's
actually
happening
here.
I
want
to
encourage
you
to
support
counselor
carol.
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
our
staff
and
I
want
to
support
our
staff
as
well.
There
is
ample
opportunity
for
council
parizo
to
get
the
desired
information
that
he
requires
and
he
needs,
and
I
think
it's
a
requirement
for
members
of
council.
P
I
am
told
by
staff
that
they
have
repeatedly
repeatedly
attempted
to
speak
with
council
pruitt
so
and
to
provide
him
with
the
needed
information
and
so
on,
and
he
and
his
staff
have
not
made
themselves
available
in
order
to
meet
with
our
staff.
These
are
senior
staff
members
who
are
reaching
out
to
the
counselor
in
order
to
address
the
issues
and
concerns
that
he
has.
We
don't
need
to
make
this
say
a
fight
on
the
floor
of
council.
We
have
the
opportunity
we
have
the
mechanism
in
place
to
allow
us
to
deal
with
these
issues.
P
There's
no
doubt
that
the
staff
have
had
a
difficult
time
in
terms
of
responding
to
providing
shelter
for
people
during
a
pandemic,
and
it's
been
very
difficult
and
I
understand
the
counselor's
frustration
and
so
on
that
we've
seen
how
counselor
grimes
have
handled
the
situation.
With
respect
to
his
area,
we've
seen
how
former
counselor
jimmy
cara
janus
to
handle
the
matter
in
his
area
we've
seen
other
counselors
handle
this
particular
matter.
I
think
it
could
have
been
handled
differently
and
I'm
asking
members
of
council
to
support
councillor
carroll's
motion
today.
D
D
So
we
have
the
amendment.
D
E
J
E
D
Okay,
so
counselor
bylaw.
I
understand
the
member
the
mayor's
motion
that
was
introduced
earlier,
that
we
held
the
item
down
because
the
mayor
wanted
to
speak
on
it.
So
I've
been
told
now
that
you
will
speak
on
his
behalf.
I
I
Thank
you,
madam
speaker.
Municipalities
from
coast
coast
to
coast
have
been
calling
on
the
federal
government
and
their
provincial
governments
for
assistance
to
deal
with
homelessness.
We
all
know
that
this
was
a
crisis
that
existed
pre-covet,
but
during
a
pandemic,
and
during
a
time
where
we're
over
and
over
again
asking
people
to
stay
home.
I
When
we
have
thousands
of
people
across
this
country
and
in
our
city
about
10
000
that
every
night
don't
have
a
place
to
call
home,
I
think
it
is
imperative
on
all
of
us
to
do
everything
we
can
to
make
sure
that
we
correct
this
and
that
we
produce
the
housing
that
is
needed
in
our
cities.
We
have
called
on
the
federal
government,
the
mayor
with
the
fcm,
this
big
city,
mayor's
caucus,
provincial
municipal
leaders
across
the
country
called
on
the
federal
government
for
a
rapid
re-housing
program.
I
We
ourselves
have
presented
a
rapid
rehousing
program
for
24
months,
where
we
called
for
3
000
units
for
2,
000
units
of
supportive
housing
and
a
thousand
housing
allowances
to
help
us
to
deal
with
this
issue.
So
what
we
have
in
front
of
us
is
actually
a
very
good
start
that,
as
councilor
cole
said,
it
is
very,
very
welcoming
and
very
very
much
needed.
I
think
it
is
on
us
to
do
everything
we
can
to
deploy
these
units
as
soon
as
possible.
We
know
that
we
can
do
it.
I
We've
proven
that
we
can
do
it.
We
have
two
modular
housing
projects
on
the
ground
with
residents
taking
occupancy
at
the
end
of
the
year,
but
we
also
have
hundreds
of
units,
thousands
of
unit
units
in
motels
and
hotels
that
we're
renting
when
we
know
that
actually,
what
we
need
is
permanent,
supported
and
affordable
housing.
I
I
emphasize,
however,
that
there's
a
big
piece
missing
in
here:
we
have
the
capital
dollars
from
the
federal
government,
203
million
dollars
directed
to
the
city
of
toronto,
and
I'm
sure
that
we're
going
to
be
working
with
our
non-profit
partners
to
apply
for
even
more
projects
for
the
other
500
million
that
are
on
the
project
sites,
but
we
need
the
province
as
well.
As
part
of
this
conversation,
we
know
that
a
lot
of
these
issues
need
and
a
lot
of
these
homes
need
supportive
services.
Yes,
we
need
the
capital
infrastructure.
I
Yes,
we
need
the
buildings.
Yes,
we
need
the
land
that
so
the
city
has
been
also
made
available,
but
it
is
imperative
that
we
have
the
supportive
services
available
as
well.
So
I
I
call
the
attention
for
the
members
of
council
as
well,
that
not
only
are
we
gonna,
accept
the
money,
deploy
the
money
appropriately
and
ensure
that
we
have
this,
the
these
facilities
and
and
the
homes
for
the
people
in
toronto,
but
that
we
are
also
calling
on
the
provincial
government
to
be
part
of
the
solution.
I
We
know
that
housing
and
homelessness
is
something
that
can
only
be
tackled
when
we
have
three
orders
of
government
and
private
and
private
and
non-profit
partners
at
the
table.
We
we
have
had
in
this
agenda
projects
like
the
uhn,
where
we're
bringing
other
partners
to
the
table
to
produce
these
supportive
housing
units.
I
So
I
emphasized-
and
I
call
as
well
on
our
provincial
governments
to
join
us
on
something
that
could
be
meaningful,
so
that-
and
I
say
this
again-
I've
said
it
before
at
the
end
of
the
pandemic-
we're
not
only
left
with
invoices
for
hotel
rooms
that
we
needed
to
use
in
order
to
keep
people
safe
and
housed,
but
we
can
actually
have
keys
to
people's
homes,
because
we
all
know
that
is
actually
the
solution
with
dignity
and
it's
actually
the
one
that
is
fiscally
responsible.
D
D
D
Okay,
but
we
were
going
to
the
last
speaker,
the
the
mayor
was
the
last
speaker.
D
Councilor
call
no
did
he
have
his
name
on
b.
He
already
spoke
merritory
last
speaker.
N
Well,
speaker,
thank
you
very
much
and
I'm
just
going
to
pick
up
on
a
couple
of
themes
that
deputy
mayor
bilo
was
speaking
about
a
moment
ago,
but
I
want
to
begin
by
thanking
her
for
her
particular
leadership
on
all
of
these
housing
files.
But
this
one
is
one.
N
You
know
that
I
think
is
going
to
prove
to
be
a
a
real
watershed
moment
for
us
in
the
context
of
the
relationship
between
ourselves
and
the
federal
government,
the
speed
at
which
we
will
both
move
them
and
us
the
speed
at
which
we
will
actually
have
people
housed
and
I'll,
come
back
to
that,
because
it's
really
a
large
part
of
what
she
was
talking
about
just
a
moment
ago,
and
I
think
it's
a
great
example
of
the
kind
of
cooperation
and
you
know
note
should
be
taken
and
I
apologize.
N
I
wasn't
present
for
most
of
the
debate
because
councillor
layton,
please
take
note.
I
was
meeting
with
a
federal
minister
in
my
office
here
asking
for
other
money
for
other
things,
but
it
is
one
of
those
things
where
I
I
also
beyond
thanking
deputy
mayor
bell.
I
want
to
thank
the
government
of
canada.
N
You
know
we
went
to
them
early
on,
and
I
was
just
telling
minister
mckenna
who
I
was
meeting
with
here
in
my
office,
of
the
fact
that
we
went
to
them
quite
quite
quite
a
ways
back
and
councillor.
Cressie
was
involved
in
this
too,
and
we
had
put
together
for
ourselves
a
business
case.
That
said
aside
from
the
moral
case,
we
all
got
and
everybody
bought
into
of
saying,
there's
a
better
way
to
do
this
than
an
incessantly
increasing
shelter,
space
and
taking
on
more
and
more
rooms,
which
just
happened
to
be
available.
N
Now
I
mean
if
we
were
in
peak
tourist
time
and
the
economy
was
normal,
we
wouldn't
have
had
the
latitude
to
do
that.
So
we
knew
we
had
to
find
a
different
answer
and
we
supplied
them
with
the
business
case.
We
did
for
ourselves
the
business
case.
Aside
from
the
moral
case
that
said,
it
actually
is
going
to
cost
us
less
money
to
do
all
of
this
and
to
to
shelter
and
house
people,
especially
the
support
of
housing
peace
than
it
is
right.
Now.
N
The
way
we're
doing
this
with
the
hotels
and
various
other
things
and
the
federal
government
to
give
them
their
due,
had
had
put
their
toes
in
the
water
on
this
a
little
bit
with
things
like
our
modular
housing
pilot
project,
but
hadn't
really
stepped
forward
full
war,
and
now
they
have
stepped
up
on
what
I
call
the
good
start,
because
you
don't
want
to
say
it's
the
end,
because
it
isn't
it's
the
beginning
with
a
significant
sum
of
money
at
which
toronto
is
a
very
significant
beneficiary,
and
that
should
be
noted
as
well
that
we're
getting
you
know
and
look
that's
commensurate
with
the
size
of
the
problem
we
have
in
our
city,
which
is
you
know
huge
by
by
any
national
standard
in
this
country
at
all?
N
I'm
not
proud
to
say
that,
but
it's
just
a
reality
of
being
the
biggest
city
in
the
country
with
a
lot
of
these
complex
problems
and
where,
in
fact-
and
this
is
a
subject
for
another
day-
we
serve
the
needs
of
the
entire
region
when
it
comes
to
housing.
People
who
are
in
need
of
supportive
or
shelter
for
themselves.
N
So,
in
any
event,
they've
stepped
forward,
and
so
this
emotion
and-
and
I
realize,
if
you,
when
I
sort
of
first-
was
handed
it
last
night.
I
I
on
the
one
hand,
was
was
again
what's
the
word,
I'm
looking
for
incredibly
grateful
and
admiring
of
our
staff
for
being
able
to
put
it
together
quickly.
N
The
federal
government-
and
that
starts
with
the
prime
minister,
who
I
talked
to
about
this-
it's
it
goes
through
the
housing
minister
who
deputy
mayor
bilo
and
myself
had
many
conversations
with
the
finance
minister
and
deputy
prime
minister
christian
freeland.
They
stepped
forward,
as
did
the
mps
for
toronto
and
really
made
sure
that
they
delivered
a
program
for
the
whole
country,
but
one
that
also
took
account
of
some
of
our
particular
needs,
and
I
think
we
helped
them
a
lot
by
making
sure
we
showed
them
that
there
was
a
business
case
for
this.
N
That
actually
is
going
to
make
us
better
off
financially
for
having
made
these
investments
and
then
there's
the
other
side
of
it.
That
deputy
mayor
bylaw
made
reference
to,
which
is
this
actually
then
provides
a
probably
much
more
permanent
answer
for
some
of
the
people,
especially
those
in
need
of
supportive
housing,
and
I
want
to
pick
up
on
one
more
thing
that
that
she
said
and-
and
I
was
on
the
phone
at
length
last
night
at
the
end
of
the
day
after
our
council
meeting
adjourned
with.
Well,
it
wasn't
yet.
N
We
don't
know
you
know,
what's
going
to
happen,
vis-a-vis
the
funding
that
goes
with
that
to
support
people.
There
are
some
of
those
most
in
need
in
our
city,
and
so
we're
going
to
keep
working
on
that.
I
was
working
on
it
with.
Mr
chabot,
he
was
unaware
of
that
believe
it
or
not
as
a
minister
and
so
we're
going
to
work
on
all
that,
but
it's
just
something
that
I
think
is
going
to
be
really
important.
But
I
think
this
is
a
very
important
moment.
N
N
Be
done
putting
together
that
investment
plan,
but
this
now
gives
them
the
latitude
to
do
that
and
to
make
sure
we
just
don't
miss
out
on
a
penny
of
this
and
that
we
achieve
the
objective,
which
is
to
actually
have
people
in
housing
that
have
been
purchased
or
made
available
because
of
this
program
in
a
very
short
period
of
time.
We're
talking
months
here,
not
years
and
that's
a
real
departure
for
all
of
us,
and
I
thank
our
staff
city
staff
again
for
great
work
done
on
this.
Thank
you,
speaker.
