A
At
that
time
it
was
called
muddy
York
and
during
those
years,
during
the
difficult
times
that
I
had
during
that
period,
David
was
very
supportive
of
me
and
over
the
years
we
became
very
good
friends
and
I
can
tell
you
that,
on
behalf
of
members
of
council
and
all
of
us,
he
will
be
deeply
missed.
But
at
this
time
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
his
family.
That's
here
Christine
and
Benjamin
Stein,
that's
here
in
the
audience
and
his
lifelong
friends,
Marion
head
Erna,
Paris,
Thomas,
Robinson
and
Otto
see
Ben
Minh.
B
A
brief
comment
about
her
significance
to
the
City
of
Toronto
and
how
she
has
affected
our
lives
so
positively
and
Johnson
councillor
and
Johnson
passed
away
peacefully
in
June
at
the
age
of
86
and
Johnson
long
before
I
was
working
on
seniors
issues
in
the
City
of
Toronto
was
known
as
Toronto
seniors
advocate.
She
did
more
than
most
anyone
else
to
advance
the
cause
of
creating
the
aged
friend,
the
city,
and
we
are
better
off
for
the
work
that
she
did,
but
it
wasn't
just
seniors
alone.
It
was
anyone
of
any
age
she
cared
about.
C
You,
madam
chair
yeah,
it's
quite
difficult
to
speak
to
these
amazing
giants
that
we
were
talking
about
today
and
knew
them
both
work
with
both
very
well
and
through
very
very
challenging
times.
They
like
you,
did
counselor
I,
just
want
to
say
about
David
Lewis
Stein.
You
know
he
was
known
as
scoop.
You
know
he
loved
City
Hall,
he
loved
the
city
of
Toronto.
C
C
That's
the
kind
of
contribution
David
made
to
the
City
of
Toronto
and
the
Greater
Toronto
Area
and
I
hope
going
forward
that
there's
some
kind
of
recognition
that
is
given
David
for
his
contribution
to
this
building
the
city
and
also
the
legacy
that
he
left
for
the
city
and
the
Greater
Toronto
Area
and
so
I
just
want
to
pass
on
my
condolences
to
David
his
family,
and
you
know
the
thing
about
David.
He
always
no
matter
how
difficult
times
where
he
always
had
a
bit
of
a
smile,
a
chuckle
and
always
was
very,
very
prodding.
C
You
might
say
a
heck
of
a
mensch
David,
Lewis,
Stein
I
just
want
to
say
in
passing
and
then
an
Johnson
like
councillor
Marlo,
said:
there's
another
one:
I
mean
she
helped
shape
this
city
and
she
did
it.
I
served
with
her
on
Metro
Council
and
she,
as
Josh
said
she
really
cared
about
advocating
for
people
like
she
talked
about
accessibility
before
there
was
even
a
word
accessibility,
and
you
know
she
pushed
the
TTC
pushed
city
agencies,
the
private
sector,
to
making
our
city
accessible
for
those
that
have
accessibility,
challenges,
so-and-so
and
Johnson.
C
Another
incredible
City
builder
and
I
have
the
an
Johnson
house
station
named
after
her
in
Ward
8,
the
corner
of
Montgomery
and
Yonge,
and
some
even
tried
to
change
the
name
and
are
we
gonna
put
a
stop
to
that
councillor,
mountain
Matt,
Lowe's
and
I?
So
there's
two
incredible
city
builders
that
deserve
appreciation
and
I
pass
on
my
condolences
to
the
family.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
councillor
Cole,
we
acknowledge
the
land
we
are
meeting
on
is
the
traditional
territory
of
many
nations,
including
the
Mississauga's
of
the
credit
beyond
on
a
nation.
I'll
bathe
the
Chippewas
ahead.
No,
she
Shoni
and
the
wind
up
people's
in
its
new
home
now
home
for
too
many
diverse,
First,
Nations,
Inuit
and
métis
people's.
We
also
acknowledge
that
Toronto
is
covered
by
treaty.
Thirteen
with
the
Mississauga's
of
the
credit
for
the
benefit
of
those
who
are
connected
to
the
Internet.
A
D
A
E
Madam
Speaker
I
move
that
report
from
meeting
eight
of
the
executive
committee
listed
on
the
agenda,
Council
be
presented
for
consideration
and
we
had
a
number
of
important
issues,
but
I
think
it
was
a
common
theme
out
of
speaker
two
to
the
issues
that
were
discussed,
which
is
working
with
other
levels
of
government
to
make
Toronto
safer
and
fairer
and
more
prosperous
and
I.
Think
that
was
a
theme
that
stretched
across
the
agenda.
E
It
has
been
well
more
than
a
decade
that
this
City
Council
of
in
its
previous
incarnations
has
been
asking
the
other
governments
to
form
a
partnership
with
us
as
well.
They
should
given
that
it
is
not
possible
for
property
taxpayers
alone
to
finance
the
repairs
that
needed
to
be
made
to
make
sure
those
buildings
are
habitable
for
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
residents,
but
also
to
make
sure
that
we
protect
public
assets
and
stop
what
otherwise
was
going
to
happen.
E
We
know
this,
which
was
that
units
were
going
to
be
closed
of
Toronto
Community
Housing
and
at
a
time
when
we
have
a
shortage
of
affordable
housing
and
a
shortage
of
social
housing,
we
could
ill
afford
to
have
that
happen.
So
that
was
dealt
with
and-
and
it
is
here
now
for
your
consideration-
it's
the
largest
investment
of
its
kind
in
the
history
of
the
city,
and
it
will
see
us
working
together
with
the
federal
government
and
their
funds
to
continue
to
invest
in
our
buildings
for
the
next
nine
years.
E
We
also
dealt
with
an
item.
That's
my
second
key
item
today,
namely
the
partnering
with
the
provincial
and
federal
governments,
to
take
one
more
step
at
the
instigation
of,
and
not
based
on
the
advice
of
the
Chief
of
Police,
with
respect
to
trying
to
deal
with
the
terrible
scourge
of
gun
violence
in
our
city.
I
was
proud
of
the
fact
that,
at
my
urging,
the
three
governments
came
together
to
supply
us
with
some
funding.
We
needed
on
an
urgent
basis
and
I
was
talking
to
a
member
of
council
the
other
day
about
this.
E
He
gave
me
an
answer
and
I
then
proceeded
to
do
the
collection
of
those
funds
necessary
to
finance
that,
in
the
best
way,
I
thought
possible,
which
is
a
third,
a
third
and
a
third
and
I'm
very
gratified
at
the
fact
that
the
federal
and
provincial
governments
came
forward
to
help
us
with
that
challenge
and
you've.
Seen.
E
Madam
speaker,
the
members
of
council
have
seen
the
results
of
that
which
I
don't
attribute
entirely
to
that
investment
of
money,
but
I
believe
that
the
enhanced
presence
of
police
officers
alone
I
saw
some
people
from
Lawrence
Heights
talking
on
television
about
the
fact
they
were
comforted
and
reassured
by
the
presence
of
additional
police
officers
in
their
communities
paid
for
by
this
initiative.
You
saw
the
police
chief
talk
about
the
fact
they
had
people
that
were
out
on
bail
that
were
re-arrested
on
gun
charges
out
on
bail
already
on
gun
charges
that
they
did.
E
Reinitialize
or
tsa's
and
extra
intelligence-
and
you
saw
the
number
of
people
who
have
been
arrested
on
the
number
of
guns
that
have
been
seized
and
the
reduction
in
shootings
over
the
period
immediately
prior
to
the
commencement
of
this
community
space
initiative,
and
so
I
think
that.
Well,
you
can't
attribute
all
of
the
results
that
the
chief
talked
about
earlier
this
week
to
this
initiative.
I
think
it
certainly
helped
and
I
think
he
would
acknowledge
that
I
think
we
are
still
in
the
same
place.
E
We've
always
been,
madam
speaker,
which
is
that
we've
got
to
pursue
three
strategies
that
are
all
tied
together,
but
they
all
stand
apart
from
one
another
support
for
the
police,
which
this
motion
in
front
of
you
today
will
assist
with
and
confirming.
Secondly,
is
a
changes
to
the
laws
and
I'll
come
back
to
that
and
finally,
investments
in
neighborhoods,
kids
and
families,
which
we're
also
going
to
end
up
dealing
with
today,
thanks
to
a
motion
put
forward
by
a
councillors,
Nunziata
and
Carol.
E
The
continuing
effort
on
our
part
to
identify
ways
in
which
the
other
governments
can
participate.
I'm
gratified
a
madam
Speaker
by
the
fact
that
at
least
two
of
the
major
parties
have
made
multi-million
dollar
commitments
as
part
of
their
platforms
specifically
dedicated
to
community
investment
in
relation
to
gun,
violence
and
community
safety
issues.
The
thing
I
said,
I'd
come
back
to
in
a
bio
of
a
closing
comment
is
simply
this.
E
A
F
G
You
speaker
that
the
report
from
meeting
nine
of
the
Board
of
Health
listed
on
the
agenda
of
council
be
presented
for
consideration.
I'll
just
take
another
30
seconds
to
make
this
chamber
aware
of
one
matter
we
dealt
with,
which
isn't
in
front
of
us,
but
I
just
want
you
to
be
aware
of
it,
but
it's
not
here
today,
and
that
is
this.
Our
Board
of
Health's
new,
comprehensive
strategy
to
combat
vaccine
hesitancy,
our
medical
officer
of
Health,
is
all
health
professionals
have
noted
the
vaccines
work.
It's
just
that
simple.
G
They
have
saved
more
lives
than
any
other
health
care
intervention
in
history
and
they've
eliminated
once
deadly
diseases.
In
recent
years
we
have
seen
a
rise
in
vaccine
hesitancy
in
this
city.
Certainly
20%
of
parents
identify
as
vaccine,
hesitant
now
20%
and
we've
seen
in
Canada
in
the
United
States
and
in
particular
in
Europe
outbreaks
outbreaks
that
have
forced
cities
and
forced
states
and
forced
countries
to
respond
after
the
fact,
and
so
we're
not
going
to
wait
in
the
City
of
Toronto
at
Toronto
Public
Health.
G
We
have
developed
a
comprehensive
strategy
to
prevent
an
outbreak
rather
than
wait
for
it
and
that's
what
combating
vaccine
hesitancy
is
about,
and
you
will
see
in
this
chamber
and
in
this
city
in
coming
weeks
and
months,
a
public
education
campaign
increased
outreach
and
work
with
healthcare
professionals
with
the
school
boards
with
frontline
nurses,
because
our
work
to
prevent
an
outbreak
starts
before
not
afterwards
and
I
suspect
you'll
see
this
conversation
continued
in
our
city
in
the
days
weeks
and
months
ahead.
Thank
you.
G
D
H
A
A
I
Speaker
and
thank
you
and
good
morning
that
the
report
for
meeting
seven
of
the
economic
and
Community
Development
Committee,
listed
on
the
agenda
of
council
be
presented
for
consideration.
I
wanted
to
highlight
speaker
just
for
specific
item
items
that
were
on
the
agenda.
The
first
one
is
the
EC
7.1
Toronto
Fire
Service
transformation,
update
plan
I
want
to
invite
members
to
really
take
a
chance.
Take
an
opportunity
to
read
this
report.
It
is
extremely
important
because
it
really
speaks
to
what
trauma
fire
is
seeking
to
do
with
respect
to
their
transformation
plan.
I
I
also
want
to,
at
this
time
speaker
congratulate
turbo
fire
service
on
the
achieving
and
international
accreditation.
It's
the
Commission
on
fire
accreditation
International,
it's
an
accreditation
under
the
Center
for
Public
Safety
excellence
and
in
fact
it
makes
Toronto
the
largest
city
in
North
America
to
receive
this
accreditation
and
I
think
this
goes.
Credit
goes
to
the
fire
chief
Matt
Pegg
and
Deputy
Chief
Joseph.
We
have
two
the
most
outstanding
individuals
in
the
fire
service
fraternity,
who
are
responsible
for
the
city's
fire
service
and
I-
think
that's
extremely
important
for
us.
I
The
other
item
I
wanted
to
highlight
speaker
is
EC
7.7.
That's
the
mayor's
Los
Angeles
mission,
I
accompanied
the
mayor
along
with
councillor
Fletcher,
who
is
the
chair
of
the
film
board,
along
with
some
30-plus
business
leaders
from
the
screen
sector.
It's
really
important
in
terms
of
the
recognition
in
terms
of
what
we're
actually
doing
in
the
city,
responding
to
the
needs
that
has
been
made
clear
to
us
that
we
need
to
address
in
the
city
around
infrastructure
in
terms
of
how
we
grow
and
develop.
This
sector
sector
produces
some
two-plus
billion
dollars.
I
For
us,
we
need
to
ensure
that
it
continues
to
grow
also
in
terms
of
what
we're
doing
with
workforce
development
and
also
customer
service
in
this
sector.
I
also
want
to
point
out
speaker
that
this
industry
is
growing
not
just
in
the
downtown
core.
It's
also
expanding
as
well
to
the
outlining
areas.
In
fact,
in
my
ward,
we
are
going
to
see
three
new
Studios
develop
the
work
it's
actually
on.
I
The
way
folks
from
Pinewood
who
built
find
would
have
come
into
the
community,
we're
going
to
see
an
additional
six
to
six
hundred
two
and
thousand
new
jobs
in
our
community,
and
these
are
well-paying
jobs
and
I
think
this
is
something
that
we
need
to
be
very
proud
of,
because
it's
extremely
important.
The
other
item
that
I'd
like
to
highlight
speaker
is
a
contribution
that
has
been
made
to
our
city,
and
this
is
EC
7.3.
I
It's
a
contribution,
a
donation
that
was
made
by
a
Toronto
resident,
a
former
staffer
Chris
Berlin
jury
in
the
amount
of
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
This
is
the
first
time
that
any
staff
member
has
made
such
a
great
contribution
and
I
think
it's
something
that
we
should
appreciate.
Coming,
yes
and
I.
Think
it's
something
that
we
really
should
should
really
appreciate
from
mr.
Bellinger.
As
you
know,
he
spent
over
thirty
years
here
he
left
as
head
of
Social
Development
and
Finance.
I
He
has
been
a
champion
with
respect
to
helping
communities
and
so
on
and
I
think
that's
extremely
important
with
respect
to
our
acknowledgement
and
finally,
speaker
I
wanted
to
draw
members
attention
to
ICI
7.10.
It's
the
implementation
of
the
coroner's
recommendation
from
the
Faulkner
and
Chapman
in
I
really
want
to
ensure
that
members
read
this
report.
It's
extremely
important.
The
recommendations
that
are
contained
in
there
is
specifically
important
for
the
city
in
terms
of
what
we
do
and
how
we
can
play
a
role.
I
The
report
calls
for
more
facilities
to
actually
help
those
who
are
vulnerable
citizens.
Additionally,
we
are
stepping
up.
We
are
looking
at
as
part
of
the
budget
process
to
provide
eight
new
additional
street
outreach
workers
who
actually
will
create,
obviously,
a
more
welcoming
opportunity
and
environment
for
those
who
are
vulnerable
citizens
on
our
street,
but
again,
I
want
to
reiterate.
I
I
would
ask
members
to
really
read
this
report
because
often
times
there
are
conflicts
with
respect
to
where
we
put
some
of
our
facilities
and
in
terms
of
how
we,
as
members
or
council,
respond
to
that
in
many
instances,
we
actually
don't
responds
in
a
way
that
allows
for
collaboration,
we
sort
of
say
we
don't
want
these
facilities
in
place,
but
we
actually
have
to
do
a
better
job
to
ensure
that
we
protect
our
citizens.
Thank
you.
H
D
A
J
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker,
that
the
report
for
meeting
seven
of
the
infrastructure,
Environment
Committee,
listed
on
the
agenda
of
Council,
be
presented
for
consideration.
I
would
simply
bring
attention
to
two
items
on
the
agenda.
One
is
ie
7.8
to
honor
diversity
strategy.
Then
it
was
ie
7.13,
a
scooter
regulations
I
urge
all
councillors
to
take
a
look
at
those
items
and
hopefully
they'll
be
held
for
debate.
Thank.
A
K
Madam
chair
good
morning
that
the
report
from
meeting
eight
of
the
Planning
and
Housing
Committee
listed
on
the
agenda
of
council
be
presented
for
consideration
and
I
just
want
to
highlight
two
items:
one
that
is
in
front
of
us
and
one
that
was
discussed
at
committee,
but
is
not
in
front
of
us.
The
first
one
is
obviously
the
approval
of
the
projects
under
the
open
door
program
for
this
year.
K
That
translates
in
about
651
new,
affordable
rental
homes,
and
you
know
this
is
the
third
year
that
we're
doing
the
program
and
as
we
learn
every
time,
we
fine-tune
it
more
and
more,
and
there
was
real
emphasis
this
year
in
making
sure
that
we
are
having
that
we
are
approving
shovel-ready
projects.
We
put
a
lot
of
emphasis
on
that
that,
to
the
the
periods
of
affordability
are
as
long
as
Paul
says,
we
possibly
can
so
with
I.
K
Think
it's
great
that
we
have
quite
a
few
of
these
projects
that
are
affordable
for
99
years
and
obviously
we.
We
know
that
our
nonprofit
sector
is
really
important
in
here,
and
so
we've
created
a
fund
to
help
them
fine
tune.
Some
of
the
applications
that
were
not
ready
to
be
approved
this
year,
so
there's
a
200
$50,000
fund
that
was
created
to
continue
to
work
with
these
nonprofits
so
that
we
actually
see
these.
K
These
projects
come
to
fruition
and
since
we're
talking
on
about
nonprofits
I
do
want
to
thank
mayor
Tory
for
actually
proclaiming
today
nonprofit
recognition
day
and
actually
thank
all
the
nonprofits
in
our
city
today,
and-
and
we
all
know
that
housing
is
a
sector
that
we
definitely
work
closely
with
the
nonprofit's,
but
many
many
other
fields
in
the
in
the
city
that
that
we
do
a
lot
of
work
and
they're
great
partners
to
deliver
many
services
and
in
particularly
particularly
a
livable
city.
So
I
want
to
thank
them
for
all.
K
They
do
the
other
point
that
I
wanted
to
bring
out.
That
is
not
in
front
of
us,
but
our
chief
planner
gave
us
a
great
presentation.
We
had
the
opportunity
to
discuss
with
him.
Quite
a
bit
is
the
end-to-end
review
that
is
happening
with
the
planning
department,
so
this
was.
This
is
work.
That
planning
is
undertaking
to
have
more
of
a
project
management
approach
to
delineate.
K
Clearly,
how
the
project
and
and
the
applications
come
through
the
system,
but
also
to
innovate
with
technology
to
we
will
need
new
technology
to
assist
our
great
teams
that
we
have
in
there
and
to
have
some
accountability
brought
to
the
system.
So
it's
a
lot
of
hard
work,
heavy
lifting
that
the
partment
is
is
doing,
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
them.
K
One
thing
once
again:
I
think
that
everybody
at
the
committee
thank
them
for
the
work
that
they're
doing
that
we're
all
here,
looking
forward
to
to
getting
to
the
finish
line,
knowing
that
this
is
very
much
a
process
that
is
ongoing,
but
we
do
want
to
thank
planning
and
and
the
team
for
a
for
putting
this
forward
and
their
continuing
work
in
improving
the
system.
So
that
was
it.
K
D

A

Members
I
will
now
review
the
order
paper.
The
mayor
has
designated
item
mm
ten
point:
three
headed
declaring
a
climate
emergency,
an
accelerating
Toronto's
climate
action
plan
at
this
first
key
matter
for
this
meeting.
This
will
be
the
first
item
of
business
today.
I
will
deal
with
the
procedure
requirements
to
bring
the
motion
forward
when
we
get
to
the
item.
The
mayor.
Second
key
item
is
item
VX
8.20
headed
additional
funding
to
support
toronto
police
services,
immediate
response
to
increased
levels
of
gun
violence
and
to
keep
communities
safe.
A
This
will
be
the
second
item
of
business.
Today,
members,
there
are
two
items
on
the
agenda
item:
iax,
8.2,
six-headed,
investing
and
community-based
anti-violence

and
members
motion
mm

I
had
it
addressing
the
root
causes
of
violence,
Toronto
Ward's

that
I
propose
be
considered
with
the
mayor.
Second
key
item:
IX
8.20.
A
A
A
Notices,
emotions
are
scheduled
to
be
dealt
with
at
2:00
p.m.
tomorrow.
Only
if
the
mayor's
key
matters
are
completed.
I
propose
that
City
Council's
at
a
time
for
a
closed
session.
If
required
later
in
the
meeting,
the
city
clerk
has
noted.
The
items
that
members
wish
to
hold
I
will
not
go
through
the
items
I
listed
on.
The
order
paper
to
take
additional
holds.
I
will
recognize
requests
to
make
matters
urgent.

The
next
item
was
actually
on
page
11
and
it's
an
accompanied
item
to
what
we
just
held
down,
and
so
that
would
be
te.
Eight
point:
seven:
zero
on
page

alterations

a
designated
Harwich

Thank
you.
A
A
N
Yes,
thank
you
very
much,
madam
Speaker.
On
page

I
need
to
hold
two
items
that
CC

203
Greer
Arbor

as
well
as

to

Thank
you.
I
P
A
P
P
N
Council
wong-tam,
yes,
madam
speaker
on
page
7,
ph
8.1,
review
of
electrical
systems
at
trial,
community
housing,
update
and
maintenance
and
upgrade
processes
for
electrical
system.
The
item
is
held
by
councillor
Fletcher,
but
I
would
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
invite
staff
from
TCH
see
Electrical
Safety
Authority
as
well
as
Toronto
Fire
to
to
be
in
the
council
chambers
to
ask
questions.
So
if
I
can
request
that
we
time
that
item
first
thing
tomorrow
morning,.
M
B
Okay,
yeah
the
seizing
of
it.
Okay,
thank
you
may
I,
just
just
thank
you.
So
this
is
a
motion
to
remove
item
pH,
8.5,
headed
feasibility
of
implementing
a
support
sensor
for
committee
of
adjustment
and
local
trying
to
local
appeal
body
matters
than
the
Planning
Housing
Committee,
and
bring
that
in
forward
to
Council
for
consideration
and
then
and
then
asking
for
for
a
deferral
of
it.
B
That
happens
sometimes
I
think
we
all
recognize
that
the
other
thing
is
there's
a
lot
of
confusion
out
there.
I
think
all
of
us
have
heard
from
residents
that
they
don't
understand.
Sometimes
whether
or
not
our
legal
staff
is
there
for
the
city
or
for
them,
and
they
often
sort
of
go
to
those
lawyers.
Thinking
that
they're
going
to
be
receiving
advice
from
them.
But
really
the
lawyer
is
there
to
advise
counsel
and
there's
a
lot
of
confusion.
B
What
we're
hoping
for
is
that
if
there's
some
way
to
avert
the
time,
the
staff
time
that
our
lawyers
have
to
spend
advising
residents
that
they're
not
there
to
advise
them
that
we
can
avoid
perhaps
hiring
as
many
outside
consultants
in
the
future.
Then
it
will
be
worth
it
to
have
a
you
know
whether
it
be
one
or
two
people
or
something
at
the
front
of
yeah.
B
To
avoid
I
think
a
lengthy
and
costly
process
that
often
leads
to
confusion
afterwards.
So
the
point
of
seizing
this
from
committee
and
then
deferring
this
first
cycle
is
in
no
way
to
suggest
again
that
the
report
is
wrong.
It's
it's
a
well-thought-out
report
and
the
committee
did
their
jobs
well,
considering
the
advice
that
they
received.
B
It's
just
a
nuanced
submission
to
you
all
that
what
we're
asking
for
is
different
than
what
was
considered
by
other
staff
or
by
the
committee,
and
that
we'd
like
an
opportunity
to
see,
if
it's
possible
to
do
something
that
actually
will
help
help
the
public
help
our
legal
style
staff
help
our
planners
help
members
of
council
dealing
with
residents
who
need
that
kind
of
support
and
ultimately
help
residents
themselves
and
potentially
save
a
lot
of
money
in
the
long
run.
So
we
would
need
two-thirds
to
be
able
to
do
this
and
I.
B
B
Hopefully
something
better
and
ultimately
I'll
just
conclude
by
saying:
if,
if,
if
they
don't
come
back
with
a
different
approach
to
it,
then
there's
no
harm
done,
then
we
just
follow
the
committee's
recommendations
a
month
from
now,
but
I'd
really
appreciate
an
opportunity
to
see
if
there's
a
different
way
of
doing
business,
to
be
able
to
to
address
the
the
issues
that
I
just
raised
with
you
all.
Thank
you
very
much.
L
Thank
you.
So
you
know,
I
was
on
the
committee
read.
The
report
listened
to
the
debate
and
I'm
trying
to
get
clear
in
my
head.
What
you're
doing
so
staff
were
asked
by
motion
of
councillor
wong-tam
to
look
at
a
variety
of
mechanisms
to
provide
support
for
people
who
are
at
the
committee
of
adjustment
and
then
go
on
to
the
l-pad.
That's
what
the
basic
thrust
of
all
this
is.
L
The
staff
report
focused
on
this
notion
of
creating
a
center
which
is
modeled
on
the
provincial
centre
for
the
OMB
as
I
right
so
far,
and
your
intention
here
is
to
go
and
say:
okay,
we
understand
that
a
centre
like
they
have
at
the
OMB
is
expensive
and
it
doesn't
necessarily
meet
the
need.
So
your
intention
here
is
to
look
to
see
if
there
are
any
other
mechanisms
available.
Am
I
understanding
you
correctly?
Oh.
A
B
No,
you,
you
encapsulated
that
very
well
counselor
purse
and,
if
I
may
add
the
resource
center
that
the
province
had
very
briefly,
admittedly,
is
what
they
reviewed
and
and
principally
when,
in
discussions
directly
with
the
staff
who
authored
the
report,
that
was
really
the
model
that
they
reviewed
and
then
they
essentially
came
to
the
conclusion
that
that's
just
it's
not
worth
doing
here.
What?
L
Just
if
I
can
understand
procedurally
the
way
the
reason
you're
doing
it
like
this
instead
of
just
going
to
committee
with
a
new
item
yeah,
is
that
if
you
attempted
to
go
to
committee
with
a
new
item,
we
would
be
told
oh
no
councils
decided
on
that
that's
going
to
last
year,
so
this
is
the
only
way
to
get
that
further
investigation.
Given
the
initial
motion
that
councilor
wong-tam
made
was
quite
broadly
that.
B
Is
correct
and,
as
I
said
earlier,
I've
I
have
absolute
respect
for
the
committee
chair
and
the
members
their
work
was
they
did
their
work
exactly
the
way
they
should
be
doing
it.
This
is
not
a
reflection
on
that.
It's
just
a
matter
of
this
is
based
on
the
clerk's
advice.
The
only
way
at
this
point
to
recognize
that
what
the
staff
reported
on
and
what
the
committee
considered
wasn't
exactly
what
we
are
hoping
to
achieve,
and
this
is
just
one
cycle
to
see
if
that
can
be
done.
Thank
you.
K
K
What
he's
looking
for
and
I'm
willing
to
to
work
towards
that,
so
to
make
sure
that
we
are
answering
to
the
questions
that
he
wants
and
to
create
the
ideal
support
system
that
he
he
wants.
So
I
would
like
to
see.
Instead
of
going
this
route,
I
I
would
like
to
see
and
I
would
work
with
a
counselor
to
have
either
emotion,
working
through
the
committee
or
emotion,
with
more
details
working
directly
to
counsel.
However,
the
counselor
would
wish
I
just
wished.
K
C
A
Sorry
I'm
gonna
have
to
stop
all
this.
What
we're
debating
is
that
counselor
Matt
lows
moved
to
motion
to
take
an
item
out
of
planning
and
growth
and
bring
it
forward
at
that.
We're
not
gonna,
discuss
details,
your
ward
or
anybody
else's
ward.
This
is
what
we're
debating
right
now.
So,
let's
just
vote
on
it
and
if
it
passes,
then
we
couldn't
debate
it.
Okay,.
C
A
P
Councillor
Fletcher
I
neglected
to
mention
something
when
I
asked
to
have
that
time
specific,
and
that
is
that,
if
this
can't
be
sorted
out,
then
there's
no
need
to
actually
do
that
I'll
be
able
to
release
it
so
I'm,
just
advising
you
of
that
as
well,
but
that's
just
in
there
for
insurance.
Thank
you.
A
Members
accounts
I,
want
to
stress
the
importance
of
preparing
emotions
in
advance.
The
clerk
staff
are
here
to
help
you
prepare
your
motions
in
particular.
If
you
intend
to
move
a
motion
during
the
release
of
holds,
I
will
insist
that
your
motion
be
prepared
in
advance
and
given
to
the
clerk.
If
you
do
not
have
your
motion
ready,
I
will
not
recognize
you
and
I'm
also
reminding
members
that
you
must
state
your
motion.
First
before
you
speak
to
it.
A
Remember,
city
council
follows
a
routine
for
the
processing
and
adding
of
any
motions
without
notice
during
the
meeting.
Please
remember
that
emotion
without
notice
must
include
a
reason
for
agency.
If
you
have
an
urgent
motion
without
notice,
you
wish
to
bring
forward
at
this
meeting.
Please
give
your
motion
to
the
city
clerk
staff.
They
will
prepare
the
necessary
procedural
motion
for
my
review.
Along
with
your
motion,
the
chair
must
agree.
The
motion
is
urgent.
A
Before
you
can
speak
leave
to
introduce
it
at
this
meeting,
it
will
require
18
votes
that
emotion
without
notice
to
the
agenda
during
the
meeting.
Motions
added
to
the
agenda
in
this
way
are
not
subject
to
a
vote
to
waive
referral
to
a
committee
or
agency
I
will
be
reviewing
all
member
all
motions
carefully
and
I
will
advise
council
mph
recess,
which
motion
need
a
motion
to
add
to
the
agenda.
We
will
now
go
to
the
mayor's
key
item,
which
is
mm
10.3
credit
of
climate
declaring
the
climate
emergency.
A
M
H
M
H
M
H
P
S
D
H
P
S
P
P
S
I
Thank
you
for
much
speaking
speaker
I
had
questions
that
will
require
the
general
manager
of
Economic
Development.
To
answer
some
I
don't
see
that
person
here
so
I
wonder
if
I
can
just
stand
my
questioning
down
and
perhaps
we
can
reach
out
to
him
to
have
him
come
in
then
I
would
ask
my
questions
at
that
point.
Okay,.
J
H
The
participation
of
other
levels
of
government
is
going
to
be
essential
to
the
city
of
Toronto
in
achieving
our
transform
tío
targets.
I
think
you
know
the
we
did
our
transfer
on
tío
research
as
part
of
our
2017
submission.
It
was
clear
that
other
levels
of
government
are
not
only
important
but
they're
vital,
not
only
in
their
dollars
but
in
their
leadership
and
I.
Think
both
of
those
elements
are
already
so
now.
Having
said
that,
the
City
of
Toronto
was
consistent
with
other
cities
around
the
world
and
in
taking
the
lead.
J
J
H
That's
a
leadership
right
at
the
the
kit,
the
federal
government
signed
on
to
the
Paris
Accord,
and
we've
made
those
commitments,
part
of
our
design
in
both
transform
tío
to
this
point
that
button
going
forward
so
yeah.
They
helped
us
targets.
They
said
that
helped
us
set
priorities
and
they
gave
us
access
to
the
global
community
of
which
were
we're
a
leader.
H
J
We
we
touched
on
the
budgetary
issues
a
minute
ago.
Is
there
a
formula
that
these
international
agreements
are
binding
municipalities
to
to
spend
1
percent
of
our
gross
operating
on
climate
change?
2
percent?
Is
there?
Is
there
some
kind
of
formula
or
benchmark?
We
can
work
with?
Not
at
this
point
no
infrastructure,
Environment
Committee,
is
anxiously
awaiting
discussion
of
the
City
of
Toronto
resiliency
report.
I
know
it's
been.
It
was
released
with
much
fanfare.
J
G
J
H
The
well,
for
example,
is
a
low-carbon
development,
that's
being
developed
by
an
wave
creative
energy
out
of
Vancouver,
it's
working
on
a
low-carbon
solution
for
the
honest
that
property
at
Bathurst
and
Bloor,
so
yeah
we're
seeing
that
happening
now,
we're
getting
much
smarter
energy
decisions
now
that
energy
developers
are
part
of
the
equation
and
not
just
the
real
estate
developers.
Okay,.
I
You
very
much
speaker
through
you
to
the
general
manager
of
Economic
Development
mr.
Williams.
The
migration
with
respect
to
the
economic
I
guess
benefit
is
part
of
this
particular
process,
looking
at
carbon
and
carbon
base
activities
and
so
on.
What
is
the
current
relationship
in
terms
of
the
big
picture
when
we
look
at
this
this
issue
around
the
environment
and
and
and
climate
change?
I
What
are
we
doing
to
simultaneously
work
in
conjunction
to
ensure
that
jobs
that
are
would
be
lost
in
terms
of
areas
where
fossil
fuels
and
others
and
opportunity
with
respect
to
green
jobs
and
green
tech
opportunity?
What
are
we
doing
in
terms
of
that
sector,
because
I
would
imagine
that
this
has
to
go
hand
in
hand?
Would
you
agree
totally.
S
I
think
Toronto
is
in
a
great
position
to
leverage
this
as
an
opportunity,
since
our
job
loss
is
probably
going
to
be
less
than
some
other
jurisdictions,
but
our
job
opportunities
in
terms
of
installation
in
terms
of
construction
and
terms
of
even
the
software
etc
needed
to
do
a
better
job
of
managing
energy
and
managing
a
lot
of
the
sustainability
issues
and
on
resiliency
is
a
great
opportunity
for
the
City
of
Toronto.
So.
I
The
leadership
that
that's
mean
mr.
Baxter's
been
talked
about
and
the
mayor's
been
talking
about
it's
one
that
will
coincide
with
respect
to
a
variety
of
different
areas
and
or
sectors
with
respect
to
our
society
as
a
whole.
Is
that
correct?
That's
correct
so
in
the
areas
of
helping
to
retool
and
helping
those
who
are
working
in
in
industries
now
that
are
impacting
the
environment
in
a
negative
way?
What
is
the
game
plan
in
terms
of
correlation
between
institutions
such
as
universities
and
colleges,
training,
and
so
on,
even
labor?
S
Doing
some
we're
probably
not
doing
enough,
for
instance,
Toronto
atmospheric
fund
has
a
series
of
programs
that
a
Health
Region
companies
readjust
many
other
orders
of
government
also
do
the
same
thing.
We
work
with
the
universities
and
colleges
with
regard
to
identifying
training
opportunities
working
with
tests
to
do
that.
But
if
you're
asking
is
there
a
cohesive
exaust,
a
plan
in
place,
No.
I
How
can
we
formulate
that?
Will
that
be
the
leadership
with
respect
to
the
mayor
as
part
of
this
particular
process?
That's
actually
in
place,
and
will
we
have
a
corresponding
gameplan
from
EDC
to
correlate
with
this,
because
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
provide
provide
at
least
a
level
of
understanding
to
the
broader
community
at
large
that
it
isn't
this
versus
that
and
that
the
expense
in
terms
of
how
people
view
this
about
job
loss
in
one
sector
can
be
realized
in
other
sectors.
I
A
I
Mira
you've
heard
the
general
manager
of
Economic
Development
has
spoken
about
the
economic
relationship
with
respect
to
this
game
plan
in
terms
of
affecting
climate
change.
That
is
a
serious
matter
and
we
all
know
it's
very
disruptive,
but
we
really
need
that
plan
to
help
us
in
terms
of
coordinate,
coordinating
a
number
of
industries
plus
institution
is
one.
Could
you
advise
us
as
to
how
you
are
approaching
that
particular
opportunity,
in
collaboration
with
the
matter?
That's
in
front
of
us
here
today.
Well.
E
Landowner,
commercial
landowners,
office,
space,
landowners
together
with-
and
this
is
the
important
part
Hospitals
University
School
Boards-
plural,
both
the
Catholic
and
public
school
boards
and
the
City
of
Toronto.
So
far,
three
hundred
million
square
feet
and
just
to
put
that
into
context,
300
million
square
feet
covered
across
the
city
in
this
initiative.
So
far,
there's
75
million
square
feet,
for
example,
of
office
space
in
downtown
Toronto.
E
So
it's
one
example
of
the
kind
of
collaboration
in
the
absence
of
legislative
tools
that
we
don't
have
here
that
other
cities
and
other
countries
may
have
that
we
can
move
forward
on
this
agenda
and
start
in
a
in
a
cooperative
way
by
addressing
the
single
biggest
source
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
So
that's
I
think
a
very
good
example
and
one
that
we're
proceeding
with
thank.
D
F
F
This
has
grown
beyond
a
simple
inconvenience
for
us,
it's
about
basement,
flooding
now
and
the
cost
and
inconvenience
of
addressing
that,
but
if
we
don't
do
more
faster,
this
is
gonna
go
beyond
mere
inconvenience
to
a
catastrophe
all
around
the
world.
Now
Toronto
has
good
plans.
We've
got
these
great
plans,
but
we're
not
meeting
the
urgency
of
the
global
crisis.
F
F
This
outlines
better
targets,
it
outlines
an
accelerated
time
frame
and
is
more
inclusive
of
those
most
impacted
by
climate
change,
of
Labor
and
of
youth.
Now
the
words
that
were
written
in
this
motion,
they
aren't
the
mares,
they
aren't
the
mares
they're,
not
mine,
they're,
the
Toronto
experts
activists
and,
most
importantly,
those
youth
that
are
rising
up
as
part
of
this
global
movement.
F
D
O
This
motion
is
augmenting.
The
great
work
that
has
been
done
by
the
Toronto
environmental
liens
merit
Orion
councillor
Layton
in
preparation
of
this
motion.
It
does
three
things:
it
seeks
to
improve
engagement
with
scientific
and
the
business
with
the
scientific
in
the
business
community.
It
seeks
to
establish
a
formal
management
system
so
that
we
can
bring
more
accountability
to
transform
tío
and
our
efforts
to
comply,
combat
climate
change.
And
thirdly,
it
reinforces
our
commitment
to
prepare
for
climate
change
through
our
resilience
strategy.
O
Again.
I
just
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
council
Eden
for
bringing
this
important
motion
forward
four
years
ago,
when
I
was
about
to
run
in
the
in
the
last
election,
I
was
with
my
boss
in
the
subway,
and
he
said
Jennifer.
Why
are
you
leaving
her
job?
Why
are
you
leaving
us
and
I
said
because
I
want
to
live
in
a
world?
That's
off
carbon
and
that's
a
lot
of
what
compelled
me
to
run
and
part
a
huge
part
of
why
I
am
here
today.
O
20
years
ago,
I
was
conducting
research
in
Yellowknife
and
I
was
very
lucky
to
have
the
opportunity
to
work
on
hydro
metric
stations
that
were
going
to
be
looking
at
long-term
climate
change
in
scientists
then
knew
that
the
impacts
would
be
felt
stronger
in
the
Arctic
in
the
subarctic
and
that
they
would
have
two
to
three
degrees:
more
warming
than
the
rest
of
the
planet.
Indeed,
20
years
later,
scientists
were
right.
O
Ten
years
ago,
I
was
doing
research
in
Greenland,
and
we
were
looking
at
the
interactions
between
glaciers,
groundwater
and
talaq
lakes,
and
while
they
was
up
there,
conducting
research
in
Kangerlussuaq,
the
locals
and
the
scientists
that
were
out
on
the
ice
told
us
about
the
receding.
Glaciers,
and
indeed,
ten
years
later,
this
small
town
of
Kangol
Kangerlussuaq
was
on
the
news
as
the
water
levels,
where
the
highest
site
had
ever
seen.
They
had
increased
Rapids
and
in
fact
the
glaciers
were
melting,
even
faster
than
they
had
ever
anticipated.
O
But
this
isn't
just
an
Arctic
in
a
subarctic
problem.
This
summer,
I
stood
in
the
flooded
parking
lot
of
Rouge
National
urban
park
and
the
water
levels
of
Lake
Ontario
were
85
centimeters
above
the
average
for
that
time
of
year
and
had
hit
a
record
high.
So
indeed,
we
know
that
climate
change
is
real.
O
M
O
So
it's
it's!
A
scientific
and
business
advisory
committee
and
I've
asked
for
a
report
back
on
what
that
could
look
at
look
like,
but
we
don't
really
have
a
scientific
steering
committee
here
or
a
business
during
committee
on
transform
CEO
specifically,
so
my
thought
would
be
that
they
could
provide
peer
review
of
the
plans
that
we
have
to
make
sure
that
they
are
scientifically
accurate
and
ambitious
and
that
we're
doing
everything
that
we
can
at
the
municipal
level.
M
So
would
that
then
become
an
official
peer
review
because
I?
The
reason
I
ask
is
that
in
the
past,
once
council
has
adopted
a
strategy
and
starts
working
on
it
if
we're
gonna
hold
it
out
for
peer
review.
Whoever
is
on
the
peer
review
has
to
be
vetted
and
then
adopted
by
council.
Who
gets
to
be
on
that.
So
is
it
your
intention
that
this
this
this
new
advisory
committee
would
would
would
come
back
to
us.
We'd
know
who's
on
it
and
what
their
there
their
mandate
was.
Yeah.
O
Absolutely
so
I've
asked
for
a
report
back
on
what
this
could
look
like
what
the
options
are
because,
as
you
say,
it
is
more
complicated
with
municipal
governance
than
any
other
agency
were
where
I've
worked
with,
where
we've
had
peer
review.
Peer
review
is
common
in
the
scientific
community.
It's
something
that
will
accept
you
here,
and
so,
as
we
have
the
plans,
usually
you
would
have
a
report
or
an
addendum
that
is
provided
with
the
plan
that
has
the
advice
of
the
steering
panel
so
that
we
would
look
at
both
of
those
in
conjunction
yeah.
M
O
M
M
Thank
you.
No
actually,
this
isn't
it
Matt,
oh
here
it
is
now
I
have
it.
Thank
you
so
in
the
third
section
where
it
says
that
we
that
we
need
to
improve
collaboration
in
the
transform
teo
role
in
the
community
with
respect
to
climate
change
work,
how
does
it
need
to
be
improved?
How
is
it
not
working
now
and.
O
So
right
now,
if
you
look
through
the
motion
as
it
was,
it
had
throughout
there
to
improve
engagement
with
youth,
to
improve
gauge,
Minh,
twith,
other
institutions
and
organizations.
So
this
is
just
reinforcing
that
the
academic
and
the
business
community
are
also
important
stakeholders
that
we
should
include
in
that
discussion.
What
we're
looking
at
here
isn't
necessarily
an
issue
with
its,
in
addition
to
the
other
clauses
that
are
in
there.
O
So
what
we
have
here
isn't
arguably
a
technological
challenge:
I
think
that
many
business
leaders
have
technology
that
can
be
adopted,
but
we
have
an
important
role
in
uptake
of
those
technologies
and
in
demonstrating
to
other
municipalities
and
also
to
the
community
at
large
that
that
these
are
viable
options
that
should
be
implemented.
So
it's
it's
again.
It's
in
addition
to
all
the
other
recommendations
that
are
there
and
it
is
just
asking
for
a.
L
P
Just
on
your
list
there
of
business
councillor
that
you
have
business
and
academics,
there
are
a
whole
number
of
people
that
have
I'll
call
them.
Citizen
experts,
people
that
go
to
cop
I,
can
see
people
partner,
labor
people
that
understand
this.
That
would
you
be
prepared
when
that
comes
back,
to
look
at
how
that
should
be
fleshed
out,
because
there
are
a
number
of
green
experts
that
have
the
ability
to
assist
rather
than
simply
business
in
academics.
Yeah.
O
Absolutely
councillor
Fletcher,
so
those
groups
were
all
mentioned
in
them
in
the
members
motion
already
so
I
was
just
specifically
picking
groups
that
I
did
not
see
explicitly
mentioned
in
there
to
make
sure
they're,
also
included.
So
again,
everything
that
I
have
here
is
not
detracting
in
any
way
from
the
original
motion.
It's
just
adding
some
additional
things
to
look
at
and
in
all
cases,
I've
asked
for
a
report
back
on
feasibility.
So
it's.
O
P
O
P
Include
them
on
looking
at
the
peer
review
options
and
who
would
be
there
I
think
it's
very
strong
to
have
the
community
lens
on
what
we're
doing
just
want
to
make
sure
and
see
if
you're,
okay,
with
having
what
I'll
just
call
the
breadth
of
the
community
that
seized
by
this
there,
because
there'll
be
a
number
of
people
that
are
going
to
cop
this
year.
That
might
not
be
captured
here
and
there
may
be
people
academics
that
we
haven't
yet
captured
in
our
work.
O
P
O
So,
through
peer
review,
normally
what
happens
as
a
plan
is
prepared,
it's
sent
to
scientific
business
Union
any
experts,
they
would
provide
formal
comments.
Those
comments
would
be
dispositioned
and
then,
if
they
would
either
be
incorporated
or
as
there
would
be
a
report
back
on
why
those
comments
were
not
addressed.
Thank.
L
L
Okay,
the
I'm
gonna
the
third
I'll,
come
back
to
the
second
in
a
minute
adds
two
more
actual
actions,
not
things
to
get
a
report
on,
but
actions
and
in
M
you
say:
improve
collaboration
with
academic
in
the
business
and
business
community.
So
actually
taking
a
piece
here
and
saying,
the
academic
and
business
communities
have
a
special
relationship
that
other
community
leaders,
environmental
activists,
people
who
are
from
the
Native
community
and
and
have
special
wisdom
to
bring
to
this
problem.
They're,
not
included
only
the
academic
and
business
community.
In
your
motion,
three
I.
O
Know
so
if
you
pull
up
motion
ten
point
three,
the
original
sorry
I'm,
finding
the
place
on
it
right
here.
I
have
that
so
I
am
adding
Allen
M.
So
in
here
it
says
a
plan
to
collaborate
with
youth,
including
youth
from
equity,
seeking
groups,
a
plan
to
apply
the
city's
lens
to
transform
CEO
and
to
ensure
that
equity
groups
are
included,
a
plan
to
consult
and
cooperate
with
indigenous
communities,
a
plan
to
engage
residents
and
stakeholders
and
decision-making.
So
all
those
groups
they
just
spoke
about
we're
already
included
in
the
motions.
O
L
And
they're
already
being
consulted
in
part
three,
but
that's
okay,
you
want
to
add
them
special
special,
that's
fine!
It's
just!
Unlike
the
answer
you
gave
to
councillor
Fletcher
you're,
not
just
asking
for
a
report
on
this
you're
directing
that
that
happened.
Correct,
okay,
but
in
terms
of
the
the
report
that
you're
asking
back
what
the
effect
of
your
to
is,
is
to
say
that
instead
of
city
staff
reporting
annually
on
how
where
what
progress
were
making
you're
changing
that,
so
that
that
report
back
also
includes
creating
this
new
scientific
and
business
advisory.
So.
O
D
L
I
I
A
I
A
I
J
O
Absolutely
if
they
are
included
in
the
options
and
I
think
they're
included
in
the
group
above
that
says,
engaged
job
seekers,
workers,
unions,
academic
institutions,
relevant
sectors
and
social
service
agencies,
so
I
think
they're
covered
in
relevant
sectors.
But
you
could
also
include
that
again
we're
asking
for
options
to
have
peer
review
so.
J
As
you
know,
we
we
don't.
This
council
has
not
adopted
a
resiliency
report,
it's
sort
of
floating
floating
out
there,
nor
have
we
seen
the
TRC
A's
reports
on
Island
flooding.
Does
your
does
your
motion
at
all
expedite
the
the
way
in
which
we
can
get
these
reports
before
committee
and
council
to
adopt
them
a
city
policy?
Oh.
O
I
wish
I
wish
no
I,
so
what
it
has
here
is
regarding
resilience
is
looking
at
actions
4.2
and
4.5,
which
are
interrelated
with
transform
T.
Oh
the
first
one
I
believe
staff
are
doing
anyway.
So
it's
just
a
gun,
reinforcing
the
importance
of
integrating
resilience
into
transform,
T,
oh
and
then
the
second
one
is
looking
at
how
we
can
establish
leadership
and
resilience,
and
that's
recommendation
4.5
and
hopefully
through
that.
Maybe
we
could
advance
some
of
those
efforts
that
you
and
I
think
are
both
very
important.
Yes,.
L
You
speaker,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
congratulate
the
mayor
and
councillor
Layton
on
doing
this.
When
we
wrote,
transform
teo
the
best
science
that
was
available
said
that,
if
we're
able
to
get
to
the
80%
reduction
by
2050,
there
was
a
possibility
of
what
the
scientists
call
the
soft
landing
where.
Yes,
there
will
be
consequences
of
climate
change,
but
they
won't
be
an
existential
threat
to
civilization.
L
Since
then,
the
science
has
advanced
and
said
to
avoid
that
existential
threat
we
actually
have
to
do
better.
We
have
to
get
to
1.5,
which
is
net
neutrality
in
a
shorter
time
line,
and
that's
because
we
missed
the
opportunity
for
early
action.
Anyone
who's
ever
worked
on
climate
climate
issues,
particularly
with
the
mitigation.
L
Half
of
it
knows
that
early
action
is
much
more
valuable
than
later
action,
and
because
Canada
and
other
nations
in
the
world
missed
that
window
for
early
action,
the
amount
that
you
have
to
reduce
and
the
period
that
you
have
to
reduce
it
in
continue
to
shrink.
We
are
now
in
an
emergency
circumstance
where
everything
that
we
can
do
literally.
L
Everything
that
we
can
do
has
to
be
considered
and
I
hope
that,
unlike
previous
moments,
when
this
council
has
tried
to
wrestle
with
the
issue
of
climate
change,
we
don't
devise
an
ambitious
plan
and
then
begin
to
weaken
it
with
a
thousand
cuts.
Transform.
Teo
has
been
delayed
and
reduced
three
times
by
this
council,
since
it
was
first
written.
The
initial
implementation
date
was
pushed
back
a
year
when
that
initial
implementation
came,
the
some
of
the
actions
were
put
off
for
six
months
and
then
in
last
year's
budget.
L
Again,
some
of
the
actions
were
delayed,
we're
now
two
full
years
behind
on
some
of
the
programs
that
we
originally
imagined
delivering
as
part
of
transform
teo,
and
it's
because
we,
you
know,
have
to
weigh
different
things
at
this
moment.
We're
all
clearly
focused
deal
with
the
emergency,
insist
that
our
children,
our
grandchildren
and
the
generations
that
follow
them
don't
bear
the
burden
of
our
inaction
and
it's
it's
very
easy
to
see.
But
in
January
we're
gonna
have
a
different
set
of
problems.
We're
gonna
have
a
provincial
government.
L
That's
downloading
costs
on
to
us
we're
going
to
have
uncertainty
as
we
continue
to
do
in
the
real
estate
market.
We're
gonna
continue
to
see
some
of
the
costs
of
delivery
of
service
growing
faster
than
inflation
in
an
environment
where
many
around
this
Kate
council
chambers
say
no.
The
most
important
thing
is
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
increase
our
revenues
faster
than
inflation
and
I
hope
that
at
that
moment,
at
that
moment,
we
can
bring
the
clarity
of
mind
that
we
have
here
today.
That
says
no,
it's
an
emergency.
L
It
is
the
most
important
thing
we
do
if
we
want
to
maintain
the
quality
of
life
that
we
all
enjoy
now
and
offer
it
to
our
children,
or
at
least
have
a
50/50
shot
of
doing
that.
We're
actually
going
to
have
to
spend
some
public
money.
I
appreciate
that
the
mayor
is
saying
yeah,
you
know
it's,
it's
good,
that
we
have
now
engaged
all
the
big
buildings
in
the
downtown
that
are
privately
owned
and
encouraging
them
to
do
what
they
can.
But
I'll
tell
you.
L
There
will
actually
hurt
shareholder
value
that
will
require
them
to
spend
money
that
they
don't
make
back
if
we
are
going
to
reduce
our
emissions
sufficiently
so
that
the
next
generation
doesn't
bear
the
cost
of
our
inaction
and
when
business
can't
shoulder
that
burden,
there
is
only
one
way
to
do
it
and
that's
for
society
at
large
to
shoulder
the
burden
and
there's
only
one
way
that
society
large
shoulders
that
burden
and
that's
by
spending
public
money.
Absolutely
the
federal
government
has
been
absent
on
this.
L
Absolutely
we
have
a
provincial
government
that
is
actively
hostile
to
spending
the
money
on
this
and
more
than
what
ought
to
be
put
on
the
permissible
property
tax
might
have
to
be
put
on
the
municipal
property
tax.
Is
it
fair?
No,
is
it
right
that
the
federal
government
talks
big
and
acts
small?
No,
is
it
right
that
the
provincial
government
is
hostile
to
solving
this
problem?
No,
but
that
doesn't
excuse
us
from
picking
up
their
burdens
until
they
learn
better.
L
P
Speaker
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
thank
you
and
thank
you
again
to
the
mayor
and
the
councillor
Layton
for
this
motion
that
recognizes
a
climate
emergency.
Just
as
I'd
say,
the
hundred
thousand
people
that
marched
on
Friday
were
recognizing
a
climate
emergency,
and
that
asked
us
to
step
up
and
do
that
and
I
took
a
video
which
I
won't
show
you
of
the
entire
March
everybody
there.
They
had
a
homemade
sign,
I've,
not
seen
anything
like
that.
They
are
seized
with
this
issue
of
climate.
P
It
is
young
people
in
our
city
who
are
seized
with
this
supported
by
their
families,
by
their
schools
by
their
churches
by
their
organizations,
and
now,
with
this
motion
by
their
City
and
I,
can't
stress
the
importance
of
this
I
just
want
to
say.
Councillor
Layton
had
sent
a
tweet
out.
Somebody
had
a
sign
there.
P
That
was
an
all
Jack
Layton
election
sign
that
they
brought
to
the
March
and
they
had
the
front
of
it
had
the
front,
but
councillor
Layton
said
not
surprised
to
see
him
here,
he's
been
on
this
file
for
years,
and
that
is
a
tribute
to
the
Layton's
father-to-son.
It
was
a
beautiful
picture.
Our
city
has
really
been
a
leader
in
the
past
and
presently
and
we
need
to
be
in
the
future.
P
I
mean
a
strong
leader
in
a
number
of
ways
and
I
want
to
touch
on
two
one
is
the
establishment
of
the
Better
Buildings
partnership
we
established
long
ago
that
we
can
retrofit
our
buildings
and
capture
the
savings
in
operations
to
pay
for
it.
That
was
the
city
that
established
that
others
are
doing
that,
but
that
was
our
Better
Buildings
partnership
established
in
the
early
1900s.
P
We
also
established
n
wave,
which
I'm
sorry
I
want
to
say
we
did
sell.
Perhaps
we
shouldn't
have,
but
what
an
environmental
leader
in
technology.
So
while
we
say
we
want
to
partner
with
business,
I
also
think
we
need
to
be
open
to
every
creative
possibility
of
establishing
those
signature
programs
in
the
City
of
Toronto
that
have
led
the
way
environmentally,
not
only
in
Toronto
but
around
the
world.
Those
are
world
leader
programs
that
were
established
through
our
city.
I
want
to
touch
on
something
councillor.
P
Mckelvey
had
and
thank
her
for
strengthening
this
motion
that
our
lake
levels
are
rising.
If
you,
the
island,
is
basically
done,
there
is
no
Gibraltar
Beach,
the
beaches
are
finished,
cherry
Beach
is
practically
washed
away.
The
eastern
beaches
are
eroding
go
out
to
Scarborough
we've
heard
about
the
parking
lot,
the
Rouge.
This
is
not
happening
once
this
is
now
basically
a
condition
that
we
are
going
to
have
to
live
with.
There's
all
many
reasons
for
it,
but
this
is
the
new
normal.
This
isn't
something.
P
That's
strange
years
ago,
when
then
Mary
Miller
established
the
environment
office
set
the
city.
There
was
a
number
of
reports.
One
of
them
was
about
adaptation.
How
do
we
adapt
to
climate
change
and
I
happened
to
chair
that
that
committee
at
that
time?
And
that's
one
thing:
how
do
we
make
sure
we
have
enough
swalls
that
the
water
doesn't
get
over?
That's
dealing
with
the
results,
I
think
this
council,
this
city,
the
people
I
saw
on
the
street,
want
us
to
deal
with
the
causes.
Not
there
only
the
results,
and
that
means
being
bold.
P
It
means
we
have
to
reverse
the
impacts
of
climate
change,
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
not
just
deal
with
the
fact
that
they're
there
and
how
we're
going
to
mitigate
them.
It's
easier.
It
seems
more
attractive
as
an
engineering
solution
to
mitigate
and
adapt,
but
I
think
we
are
in
to
reversing
what
we
have
done,
and
that
means
we
are
going
to
spend
money
and
we're
going
to
have
to
spend
money.
Councillor
perks
has
indicated
that
you
know
we
stumbled
along
getting
transformed
tío
going.
It
was
the
community
that
pushed
us
into
this
friends.
P
Q
Very
much
to
the
speaker,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
mayor
and
councillor
Layton
for
bringing
this
forward
today,
and
you
know
particularly
councillor
Layton
for
his
work
over
the
decades
on
this
file.
It's
nice
to
be
here
too
gather
as
a
council
all
moving
in
this
same
direction.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
Jennifer
McKelvey
councillor
McKelvey
for
her
amendment
on
this
I
think
it
makes
a
motion
better
and
I'll.
Q
Be
supporting
that,
like
a
number
of
you,
I
was
at
the
climate
strike
on
Friday
and
frankly,
it
was
heartening
to
see
the
tens
of
thousands
of
Torontonians,
particularly
youth,
many
from
beaches,
East
York,
taking
action
on
this
issue,
and,
and
it
would
frankly,
it
was
very
fitting
that
this
was
coming
to
council
the
following
week.
We
deal
with
urgent
issues
in
this
chamber
all
the
time,
but
the
recommendations
in
this
motion
have
a
different
kind
of
urgency,
and
that's
because
it's
generational
urgency.
Q
Frankly,
the
decisions
that
we're
making
here
today
need
to
be
considered
in
the
context
of
those
who
will
be
following
the
opportunity
to
make
impact
is
about
the
steps
that
we,
as
councillors,
as
elected
officials,
can
take
today
to
provide
a
better
future
for
those
tomorrow.
We
all
see
the
impacts
of
a
changing
climate
around
the
world.
We
can
actually
see
it
quite
acutely
along
our
waterfront.
Q
Toronto
has
many
waterfront
communities
and
you
can
see
that
every
spring
and
every
fall
down
at
the
water,
and
that
could
be
quite
daunting,
but,
like
many
issues,
they're
dealt
with
and
delivered
at
the
local
level.
Now
we,
of
course,
are
going
to
need,
help
and
support
from
federal
and
provincial
governments
to
do
this.
Q
That
is
critical,
but
when
it
comes
to
actually
moving
the
needle
on
GHG
emissions,
the
biggest
contributors,
of
course
are
transportation
housing,
our
building
stock
thermal.
Those
are
all
things
where
we
have
a
lot
of
jurisdiction
and,
frankly,
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
make
a
difference
so
I'm
grateful
that
this
motion
actually
sets
up
everything
so
that
we
can
move
forward
on
that
file.
You
know
if
we're
going
to
be
measuring
it
then
we're
more
accountable.
We
can.
We
can
take
actions
and
make
adjustments
as
we
move
forward.
Q
That's
really
important
and
frankly,
the
notion
of
declaring
a
climate
emergency
is
to
make
it
clear
that
this
is
a
priority
for
this
issue,
for
us
as
a
council
for
us
as
a
city
to
move
forward
and
take
concrete
action.
Bold
measures
so
again,
just
wrapping
up
I'm
very
glad
to
see
that
we're
working
collaboratively
on
this,
because
that's
the
kind
of
leadership
it
is
going
to
take
for
us
to
address
the
climate
change
file
thanks
very
much.
Thank.
J
You,
madam
Speaker
I
thank
the
mayor
and
council
Aten
for
bringing
this
forward
I
thank
McKelvey
for
strengthening
it
and,
of
course,
what
we
were
doing
here.
It's
not
enough.
We
have
to
put
money
behind
much
of
the
recommendations
that
are
before
us.
We
have
to
put
strong
policy
behind
it.
We
need
the
private
sector
to
come
on
board
with
the
tripartite
agreements
and,
of
course
we
need
our
federal
and
provincial
counterparts
as
well
as
as
a
recent
member
of
the
TRC,
a
just
had
my
first
meeting
on
Friday
looking
inside
that
organization.
J
They
play
an
important
role
in
in
our
role
in
our
in
our
efforts
to
mitigate
climate
change
in
extreme
weather
events
in
resiliency
in
flooding
in
a
knowledgebase,
certainly
they
they
and
we're
putting
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
close
to
7
million
dollars
into
the
TRC
a
we
should
be
getting
a
lot
out
of
it.
I
think
at
the
local
level.
Certainly
in
the
area
that
I
represent
a
basement,
flooding
continues
to
be
one
of
the
biggest
problems
across
the
neighborhoods
in
New
York,
senator
Ward
6.
This
results
in
enormous
property
damage.
J
This
results
in
people
having
their
homes
full
of
moisture
and
mold
and
at
the
same
time,
they
then
start
all
over
in
an
endless
cycle
in
a
battle
with
their
insurance
companies.
In
a
battle
with
the
City
of
Toronto
in
a
battle
with
the
restoration
services,
homeownership
should
not
be
like
this.
People
who
invest
in
their
homes
and
take
the
risk
of
owning
a
home
should
not
be
in
a
situation
in
which
their
most
important
asset
is
constantly
at
risk
when
an
extreme
weather
event
takes
place.
It's
our
responsibility
here
at
the
city
Toronto.
J
To
do
everything
we
can
to
protect
people
in
their
homes
to
protect
their
investment,
to
make
sure
to
make
sure
they
are
safe
to
make
sure
they
know
we're
doing
everything
possible,
and
certainly
the
package
before
us
as
part
of
that
I
would
once
again
reiterate
that
without
strong
policy,
we
cannot
get
things
done.
We're
still
waiting
at
committee
for
the
resiliency
report,
we're
still
waiting
in
committee
for
the
Ontario
flooding
report
developed
by
the
TRC,
a
which
was
handed
over
to
the
city
some
weeks
ago.
We
need
those
documents,
so
we
can
adopt
policy.
J
So
we
could
say
we're
doing
everything
from
the
policy
end
of
things
and,
of
course
we
need
measure
ability
and
accountability.
The
ongoing
reporting
system,
a
report
card
of
sorts
is
vital,
but
that
being
said,
I'm
glad
that
this
is
before
us.
It's
an
important
social
issue
and
it's
the
most
transformative
public
policy
statement
of
our
time
and
the
city
must
be
must
be
committed
to
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
E
Well,
thank
you,
madam
Speaker
and
I
want
to
begin
by
saying
thank
you
as
a
number
of
done
to
councillor
Layton
for
his
work
and
for
his
collaboration
on
this,
including
the
consultation
he
did
with
people
in
the
community,
where
we
often
can
get
some
of
the
best
advice
that
we
can
get
and
I.
Think
and
I
want
to
thank
councilor
McKelvey
again
for
expending
some
effort
on
doing
some
additional
things.
That
I
think
will
help
us
with
a
better
result
here
and
I.
E
Think
that
collaboration
is
consistent
with
what
we're
doing
here
today
and
and
the
spirit
in
which
we're
doing
it.
The
election,
that's
on
election,
has
created
a
degree
of
uncertainty,
for
example,
with
respect
to
what
national
goals
could
be
going
forward.
Other
activities
that
have
taken
place
in
other
places,
either
at
the
national
or
sub-national
level,
have
created
uncertainties
with
respect
to
the
full
participation
of
all
governments
in
trying
to
address
this,
whether
it's
here
in
Canada
and
Ontario
or
elsewhere,
but
I
think
that
we,
it's
all
the
more
reason.
This
uncertainty.
E
Why
we
have
to
declare
ourselves
very
clearly
today
and
declare
ourselves
with
respect
to
the
urgency
that
we
attach
to
this
challenge,
as
a
number
of
speakers
have
made
allusion
to
today
and
and
we
need
look
no
further
than
on
the
public
side,
the
Toronto
Island
or
the
shoreline
of
Lake
Ontario,
and
all
that
it
goes
with
that
or
on
the
private
side.
The
householders
and
homeowner
that
counselor
Pasternak
just
made
reference
to
and
the
experiences
they're
having
over
and
over
again
as
a
result
of
this
most
urgent
problem.
E
So
it's
time
for
this
city
to
reinforce
our
sense
of
urgency
to
reinforce
our
determination
to
reinforce
our
ambition,
to
use
the
words
that
councilor
Leighton
use
to
do
more
faster
Toronto
does
have
good
plans,
and
even
some
of
the
early
assessments,
for
example,
from
the
Carbon
Disclosure
Project,
have
given
us
a
solid
assessment
for
our
efforts.
Today
and
and
I
will
take
some
issue
I'm
not
going
to
take
up
time
now
with
it,
with
the
characterization
of
the
in
efforts
to
date
offered
by
councilor
perks.
E
Here,
madam
speaker,
but
there's
no
question,
regardless
of
how
you
make
the
assessment
of
what's
been
done
and
what
others
might
say
about
it.
You
can
always
do
more
faster,
so
I
want
to
see
us
add
to,
and
this
is
really
just
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
things
we
have
done.
We
have
done
21
energy
retrofits
at
Toronto,
Community,
Housing
buildings,
and
that's
something
to
be
proud
of
it's
something
that
stands
as
an
example.
But
it's
just
a
start,
and
so
I
want
to
see
us
do
more
faster
in
that
area.
E
I
want
to
see
us
add
to
the
60
electric
buses
that
we've
acquired
at
the
TTC
I.
Think
we've
done
that
as
I.
Never
apologize
for
doing
in
a
big
way
to
make
sure
the
60
electric
bus
is
that,
first
of
all,
we
buy
the
best
ones
and,
secondly,
that
electric
buses
work
in
our
particular
climate
and-and-and
as
part
of
integrating
them
completely
into
our
transit
system.
E
But
they've
done
more,
so
we
can
learn
from
them.
They
will
partner
with
us.
They
will
partner
with
the
school
boards,
and
these
are
people
for
which
we
don't
necessarily
have
direct
responsibility,
but
which
most
certainly
own
huge
amounts
of
real
estate
in
our
city's
buildings,
being
the
biggest
single
contributor
to
to
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
and
so
I.
Look
to
that
group
and
other
groups
that
will
form
like
it.
As
part
of
this
collaborative
approach.
We
often
have
to
take
because
we
are
cities
and
we
have
limited
legislative
powers
to
do
things
so.
I.
E
Look
to
the
innovation,
to
the
ingenuity,
to
the
financing,
to
the
best
practices,
to
the
teaching
of
all
of
these
partners,
to
make
sure
that
we
that
we
can
move
forward
and
I
think
the
biggest
biggest
achievement
may
well
come
not
so
much
even
in
the
achievement
of
the
green
whale
project,
but
in
how
it
helps
us
to
translate
down
to
smaller
entities.
The
the
the
two-story
medical
building
that
somebody
owns
in
Scarborough
or
things
like
that,
where
they
don't
have
sophisticated
departments
of
people
to
have
energy
reduction
programs.
E
But
we
must
have
them
participating
in
this,
and
we
must
get
it
down
to
the
level
of
every
citizen.
Thousands
of
people,
thousands
of
buildings,
I
I,
guess
I-
would
just
conclude,
madam
Speaker.
By
saying
this
I,
you
know
nobody's
going
to
accuse
me
of
being
exciting
and
I've
said
many
times
before
and
I
repeat
it
again.
E
That
can
argue
with
the
fact
that
councillor
Pasternak
referred
to
and
others
there's
a
business
case
to
be
made
for
doing
this.
So
I'll
sell
this
to
anybody
any
way
that
I
have
to,
because
it
is
imperative
that
we
forward
with
actually
making
these
achievements
for
all
of
those
reasons
and
getting
them
done
more
and
faster
as
a
councillor
Layton
said.
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker.
Thank.
A
D
A
A
C
C
D

K
C
That's
I've
been
to
bail
hearings,
but
trying
to
find
out
if
that
person,
maybe
I
can't
attend
all
the
bail
hearings.
So
if
there
is
a
there's,
so
many
bail
hearings,
I'd
like
to
know
what
happened
to
those
persons
charged
with
a
gun
crime
or
they
released
on
how
much
bail
are
they
in
the
community
again
I
can't
get
the
where
do
I
get
that
information
to
share
my
community?
That's
what
I'm
trying
to
find
it.
Madam.
G
E
We're
dealing
with
your
second
speaker
about
why
they
wouldn't
have
concluded,
but
it
may
well
be
that
we
and
the
collective
sent
somebody
from
the
city
didn't
phone
to
say
it's
likely
to
be
on
at
12
o'clock
on
Wednesday,
so
we're
just
trying
to
figure
out
now
how
to
get
somebody
to
come,
because
obviously
there
should
be
somebody
here
to
answer
questions
from
the
police
service.
You
know
because
the
matter
involved
is
sending
at
least
one
a
part
of
it
is
sending
money
or
committing
money
to
them.
E
E
D
I
Given
the
gravity
of
this
issue
and
the
importance
of
it,
I,
don't
simply
think
that
we
should
accept
this
idea
that
someone
from
policing
should
come
and
talk
to
us.
The
Chief
of
Police
should
be
in
this
chamber
to
address
these
particular
issues.
It's
one
of
the
top
priorities
in
this
city.
The
chief
has
expressed
an
interest
in
having
resources.
I
He
should
be
here
to
be
able
to
speak
with
members
of
council,
so
it
asks
that
the
chief
be
here
unless
he's
out
of
town
for
some
strange
reason,
but
I
think
this
is
most
important
speaker
and
and
through
the
mayor,
but
the
chief
be
invited
to
come
to
speak
to
us
and
then
maybe
I'd
like
to
ask
madam
Speaker.
Maybe
the
clerk
can
help
me
do
one,
and
this
I
think
the
mayor
just
spoke,
and
he
indicated
that
perhaps
my
office
should
have
called
and
so
on.
D
Him
available
of
just
working
on
a
time
to
get
him
here.
He
was
the
one
I
believe
that
attended
committee
on
this
particular
item
previously
I
can
certainly
express
the
concern
of
counsel
and
respect
to
the
Chiefs
attendance
I.
Don't
know
what
the
status
of
that
is,
but
I
can't
I
can't
advise
I've
been
advised.
Deputy
chief
Raymer
will
make
himself
available
at
a
point
today
as
soon
as
he
can.
Okay.
E
Understanding
what
councilor
Thompson
was
saying
about
the
chief
is
the
chief
but
I
could
just
say
and
I
think
the
councilors
yourself,
madam
Speaker
in
councilor
fort
know
that
the
deputy
chief
framer
has
been
intercalary
integrally
involved
in
this
area
of
trying
to
combat
guns
and
gangs.
So
I
think
if
he's
the
one
who's
able
to
come,
that
that
certainly
will
be
not
just
anybody
from
the
Police
Service
it'll,
be
the
deputy
chief
who's,
principally
responsible
for
this.
E
A
T
S
A
I
D
F
T
A
L
L
R
L
Given
that
there's
there's
that
difference,
would
it
be
a
value
if
there
were
emotion
for
your
department
or
the
city
manager
to
review
how
it
is?
You
know
we
select
candidates
and
interview
and
so
on,
for
those
most
senior
positions
to
see
if
we
could
do
better
in
achieving
diversity
at
those.
Would
that
be
helpful
through.
R
The
speaker,
we
would
not,
if
you're
speaking,
you
speaking
specifically
about
the
positions
that
are
council
appointed.
Yes,
we
would
not
I
mean.
Certainly
it
would
be
helpful
for
us
to
take
a
look
at
what
our
processes
are
in
that
respect,
but
there
are
for
privacy
reasons
we
do
not
report
data
on
groups
of
fewer
than
10
and
the
council.
My
my
I
think
I
believe
they're
about
9
positions
that
are
council
appointed,
so
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
report
specifically
exclusively
about
that
subset
of
employees,
but
we
can
certainly
look
at
what
our
practice.
L
I
A
speaker
through
you
to
staff,
the
report
had
the
subject
matter
is
fostering
divorced
diversity
in
a
Toronto
public
service.
I.
Get
that
because
we
talk
about
that
all
the
time.
What
about
equity?
There
is
a
distinction.
From
my
perspective,
diversity
is
more
about
a
look
and
feel,
but
equity
is
around
contribution
and
having
those
diverse
individuals
being
a
tangent
and
a
complementary
contributors
to
decisions
that
are
being
made.
Is
it
now
the
case
in
the
city
of
Toronto,
where
that
is
in
fact
the
case
through.
R
The
speaker,
it
is
I
mean
our
work,
is
both
on
numbers
and
including
diversity
and
equal
representation,
but
more
than
that
on
engagement
and
inclusion
and
decision-making,
and
which
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
are
interested
not
just
in
headcount
but
also
in
where
people
are
within
the
organization
and
their
ability
to
input
on
decision
making.
So
to
my
comment
earlier,
as
we
recognize
that
there
is
not
equitable
access
currently
in
our
leadership
ranks,
which
is
where
a
lot
of
decision-making
is.
So
that's.
R
I
How
will
we
recognize
a
difference
going
forward
based
on
the
work
that
you're
doing
now?
What
will
we
see
or
what
are
the
measurements
that
you
be
utilizing
that
you'll
be
reporting
out
through
to
Council,
because
it's
simply
beyond
this
notion
of
just
diversity,
because
a
view
is
that
diversity
is
for
some
and
an
important
accomplishment,
but
those
diverse
people
that
you're
putting
into
place
when
they're
not
really
participating
in
the
decision-making
as
part
of
the
equity
component.
They
themselves
are
perhaps
worse
off
than
what
we're
trying
to
achieve.
R
R
However,
we
are
measuring
inclusion
in
an
of
ways,
so
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
we
did
this
year
for
the
first
time
is
when
we
did
our
employee
engagement
survey.
We
did
ask
some
questions
about
demographic
about
representation,
so
that
we're
also
able
to
measure
how
engaged
are
our
diverse
staff
are
feeling
and
how?
How
how
included
they're
feeling
so
we're
looking
at
that.
I
So
my
question
now
is
for
the
city
manager
through
you,
madam
speak
to
the
city
manager,
I,
wonder
mr.
city
manager.
If
you
could
comment
in
terms
of
what
your
vision
and
a
strategy
that
will
include
not
only
diversity
but
also
equity
as
a
component
part
of
inclusion
in
whether
or
not
as
the
LGBTQ
community,
whether
or
not
it's
the
brown
people,
the
black
people,
the
aging
and
so
on
so
forth
in
this
organization.
I
G
Through
the
speaker,
as
you
likely
know,
people
in
equity
almas
group
report
directly
to
me
they're,
not
part
of
another
part
of
the
organization.
So
it's
an
obviously
critical
that
I
have
the
person
who's
got
the
best
ideas
as
to
how
to
improve
our
equity.
Our
our
diversity
is
directly
working
with
me
and
is
reporting
on
what
progress
we
are
making.
G
So
our
goal
is
to
reflect
this
community
in
terms
of
our
civil
service,
and
so
the
tactics
that
we
can
use
to
do
that
from
recruiting
to
making
decisions
about
who
we
hire
is
all
being
a
direct
line
between
Alma
and
myself
and
for
that
matter,
for
as
well
with
our
senior
leadership
team.
So
that's
our
I'd
say
it's
more
than
our
goal.
It's
kind
of
our
mission
right
now
I
mean
we
from
a
very
senior
leadership
team.
G
We
certainly
have
from
a
gender
standpoint
and
we,
you
know
I'd,
say
good
balance
or
representation
from
a
gender
standpoint.
I
would
say
from
a
a
equity
and
a
racialization
standpoint,
we're
not
where
we
need
to
be
where
we
need
to
reflect.
What
this
community
is
is
how
it
how
it
actually
presents
itself
on
a
day
to
day
basis,
so
all
that
work
is
top
of
mind
of
ours
and
and
hence
the
reason
why
people
and
equity
report
to
me
directly.
Thank
you.
Thank.
N
You-
and
this
is
following
up
on
an
answer
that
was
provided
to
councillor
perks
with
respect
to
the
number
of
council
appointed
positions
you
had
stated
I
believe
nine.
Is
that
correct
I?
Believe
that's
the
case?
Yes,
can
you?
Can
you
remind
us
what
those
nine
positions
are
that
council,
particularly
sanctions,
and
so
we
make
the
final
hiring
decision.
R
N
Thank
you,
so
that's
very
helpful,
so
those
nine
individuals
are
the
only
ones
in
the
Toronto
Public
Service
that
that
that
the
final
hiring
decision
is
placed
before
Council,
that's
and
and
so
through
the
recruitment
and
the
in
the
evaluation.
All
of
that
is
done
through
the
HR
process.
Is
that
the
same
HR
process
that
we
would
deploy
when
hiring
other
members
of
the
Toronto
Public
Service
or
is
it
a
different
HR
process?
It
is.
N
That's
councillors,
as
well
as
the
mayor's
office,
that's
correct,
and
is
it
those
two?
So
it's
just
again
unfollowing
on
it
on
the
line
of
question
is
that
is
that
the
general
population
of
public
service,
we're
doing
you,
know
a
decent
job.
It
could
always
be
improved
of
making
sure
there's
there's
a
representation
from
a
diversity
of
communities,
including
racialized
LGBTQ,
indigenous
and-and-and,
women
and
non-binary
trans
people
couldn't
be
better
but
we're
doing.
Okay.
N
R
The
chair,
that
is
not
the
case,
necessarily
as
we
go
higher
in
the
organization
from
the
frontline
positions
to
the
supervisor,
there's
less
diversity
there,
and
then
you
go
from
supervisors
to
manager
or
less
diversity
and
to
the
extent
that
that
then
those
nine
positions
are
within
our
division,
head
and
above,
and
that
is
the
highest
level
within
the
organization.
That
is
where
we
are
the
least
reflective
on
some
of
the
equity
data
that
we're
collecting.
R
N
So
the
overall
picture
that
we
can,
that
we
can
conclude
from
this
report
is
that
at
the
at
the
entry
level,
mid-level
positions,
the
City
of
Toronto
as
a
corporation,
is-
is
making
advancements
in
hiring
people
who
will
reflect
the
population
of
the
city.
Tron
we're
doing
okay,
there
could
always
be
improved.
It's
the
management
supervisory
roles
and
and
higher
up
level
of
leadership
where
we're
actually
failing
the
grade,
or
we
could
do
a
lot
better,
is
that
is
that
what
I'm
hearing
that's.
R
J
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker,
through
you
to
staff,
when
it
comes
to
our
governance
model
at
the
city,
it's
a
complicated
situation
in
which
divisions
such
as
fire
services
and
police
have
their
own
HR
division
and
they
make
their
own
hiring
decisions.
It
never
comes
to
the
council
floor.
How
would
your
initiative
here
impact
those
divisions
through.
R
To
the
chair,
the
the
fire
services
is
part
of
our.
Our
division
provides
support
to
fire
services
and
their
recruitment.
We
do
not
currently
provide
support
to
Toronto
Public,
Service
and
Police
Service,
however,
so
in
terms
of
one
of
the
things
that
we're
trying
to
do
on
this
and
other
initiatives,
is
that
we're
trying
to
work
better
with
our
agencies.
R
In
fact,
in
this
month,
I'm
having
a
meeting
with
HR,
leads
from
our
agencies
and
just
to
convene
a
table
so
that
we're
sharing
our
best
practices
and
trying
to
influence
one
another
and
learn
from
each
other's
experiences.
So
we
do
not
currently
provide
support,
but
we're
going
to
provide
some
informal
channels
for
that
knowledge
sharing
to
happen,
and
so
that
we
can
all
kind
of
progress
together.
So.
J
Last
last
term,
through
the
committee
I
chaired
community
development
of
recreation,
we
spent
an
enormous
amount
of
times
time
working
with
fire
services
on
the
recruitment
policy,
trying
to
create
a
more
diverse
workforce
zeroing
in
on
on
their
pool,
and
it
seemed
to
me
they're
there.
The
recruitment
net
was
no
way
far
enough
or
wide
enough
to
ever
get
the
kind
of
diversity
that
the
city
was
looking
at.
Do
you
think
that's
a
part
of
part
of
the
core
problem
here
that
we're
just
we're
not
really
reaching
out
to
the
diverse
communities.
R
The
chair,
one
of
the
initiatives
that
we've
recently
implemented,
that
will
give
us
some
really
good
data
for
us
to
analyze
where
the
challenges
might
be.
Is
our
new
HR
information
systems
which
we
rolled
out
last
week?
It
allows
us
to
collect
diversity
data
at
every
stage
in
the
process
so
that
we
can
identify,
for
instance,
if
you
are
correct,
if
it
is,
we
do
recognize
that
outreach
is
obviously
an
important
part
of
it.
Do
people
actually
know
that
these
jobs
exist?
Do
they
know
how
to
apply
for
it?
R
So
we
have
people
within
our
team
now
that
are
focused
on
undoing
some
of
that
work,
but
we
will
also
have
good
data
to
figure
out
where
the
bottlenecks
are
they
not
applying.
Is
it
that
they're,
applying
and
they're
getting
screened
out,
we'll
know
going
forward
where
those
challenges
are,
but
I
acknowledge
that
outreach
is
perhaps
one
area
where
we
could
be
doing
more
so.
J
J
R
R
We
certainly
do
not
have
a
policy
that
does
that
they
are,
depending
on
the
load,
the
nature
of
the
employment
like
if
it's
a
unionized
employee
or
a
non
unionized
employee,
there
might
be
different
rules
that
apply,
but
I'm,
not
I
can
certainly
say
that
we
do
not
have
a
policy
whereby
people
are
precluded
from
doing
so,
but
there
may
be
operational
requirements.
There
might
be
a
number
of
things
to
juggle
in
a
particular
case,
but
we
do
encourage
and
work
with
divisions,
including
Human
Rights
office,
on
how
to
accommodate
people's
family
status
related
requests.
R
R
I
have
not
seen
anything
that
suggests
that
they
will
be
resistant
to
it,
but
there
are
certainly
rules
in
the
collective
agreement
that
we
have
to
abide
by
in
terms
of
how
we
put
we,
we
fail
positions
so
that
may
seniority,
for
instance,
it's
a
consideration
for
us
when
we
feel
positioned.
So
that
means
that
we're
not
going
to
the
market
on
some
of
these
on
some
positions
because
we
have
to
there
are
orders
of
consideration.
R
L
Thank
you
very
much.
Speaker
I
have
a
motion
that
City
Council
direct,
the
city
manager
and
the
chief
people
officer
to
report
to
the
executive
committee
on
strategies
for
achieving
better
diversity
in
council
appointed
staff
positions.
It's
fairly
straightforward.
You
heard
the
answers
from
the
chief
people
officer.
It's
an
area
in
our
hiring
practice
where
we
can
do
better.
There's
simply
asked
for
some
advice:
I,
don't
know
what
that
advice
would
be.
L
L
I
Thank
you
very
much
speaker,
madam
Speaker.
I
certainly
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
bringing
this
report.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
mayor,
quite
frankly
on
this
issue.
His
leadership
has
been
invaluable
to
this
I
think
it's
extremely
important
that
the
city
managers
well
have
had
many
discussions
with
the
city
manager.
I
believe
what
he's
actually
saying
to
me
and
I
know
for
a
fact
that
he
wants
to
see
a
change
not
simply
reflecting
what
we
often
tend
to
talk
about,
which
is
diversity
too,
to
a
large
extent,
but
diversity
isn't
sufficient.
I
But
what
I'm,
learning,
and
particularly
I'm
learning
from
the
very
people
who
are
brought
in
that
they
seem
to
be
brought
in,
and
it's
really
just
for
show
and
diversity
for
show,
is
really
not
diversity
at
our
strengths.
In
terms
of
the
motto
of
this
city,
which
is
diversity,
is
our
strength,
so
I
think
I
want
to
go
beyond
that
and
and
I
don't
want
to
complicated
by
saying
we're.
I
Gonna
move
a
motion
here
there,
because
if
it
isn't
part
of
the
strategy
in
terms
of
reflecting
that
growth
and
the
development
of
this
city,
with
respect
to
inclusion,
then
in
as
much
as
we
try
to
affect
diversity
which
demonstrate
a
more
pictorial
effect
of
showing
what
the
landscape
of
the
people,
reflecting
in
our
society
that
they're
in
place,
they
may
be
at
a
desk.
They
may
be
in
an
office
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
I
But
if
they
are
not
part
of
the
decision-making
process
that
we
have
established
throughout
the
varying
departments
in
this
organization,
it
really
is
for
naught.
It
really
is
just
for
show
I.
Think.
The
key
thing
that
we
have
to
remember
here
is
that,
although
you
bring
people
in
reflecting
the
diversity,
if
we
don't
capitalize
on
their
talents,
we
are
then
amputating
their
spirit
and
their
growth
and
I
think
that
has
a
far
more
reaching
and
a
problematic
effect
to
people,
because
it
seems
as
if
we're
just
doing
things
for
show.
I
If
that's
what
we're
doing
I,
don't
think
that's
a
path
that
we
need
to
go.
We
need
to
evaluate
that.
I
am
buoyed
by
what
I'm,
seeing
in
the
work,
that's
being
done
by
the
staff
in
terms
of
data
gathering
decision-making
and
obviously,
embedding
you
know
an
equity
lens
into
this,
which
incorporates
the
inclusion,
if
we're
not
doing
this,
we're
gonna
fail
ourselves.
I
If
we
fail
ourselves,
we'll
fail
our
society
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
pay
attention
to
this
and
ensure
that
inclusion
is
as
important
as
the
component
part
of
diversity
which
we're
trying
to
achieve
and
I'm
talking
about
diversity
for
all,
so
that
every
person
can
actually
benefit
it's
not
happening.
Now.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
in
this
city
and
I
realize
that
we're
talking
about
our
own
internal
development,
but
there
are
many
organizations
in
this
city
where
they're
reflecting
diversity,
but
the
versity
does
not
include
inclusion.
I
I
would
perhaps
hope
at
some
day
the
mayor
may
convene
a
major
you
know
roundtable
with
business
leaders,
to
talk
about
this
very
concept
of
inclusion,
not
just
simply
this
concept
of
diversity,
because
it's
actually
failing
us
now,
although
we're
including
people
as
part
of
our
diversity,
a
strategy
that
diversity
is
insufficient
with
respect
to
inclusion,
if
we
don't
have
inclusion,
we're
not
getting
the
best
and
the
brightest
we're
really
not
getting
that
diversity
of
thought
and
information
that
could
actually
help
us
to
be
a
better
society.
Madam
Speaker
thank.
