Members
of
council
may
not
see
the
articling
students
very
often,
but
rest
assured
that
when
we
have
a
complex
or
novel
issue,
the
students
are
involved
in
helping
us
to
ensure
that
we
have
all
of
the
background
information
and
the
research
that
we
require
to
provide
advice
to
you.
Our
new
students
are
sitting
over
here
in
the
first
row.
B
Their
names
are
Aden,
Alexio,
galway,
home
pay,
ice,
chef's,
Husein,
molly
lawson
and
the
shaquille
and
tashera
sharma,
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
had
an
opportunity
to
see
council,
because
this
provides
a
broader
context
for
all
of
the
work
that
they
do
every
day
and
it's
a
very
important
important
day
for
them.
So
thank
you
for
the
indulgence,
madam
speaker,
and
welcome
students.
B
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
minute
to
thank
our
Toronto
city
staff,
our
Anto
water
to
Toronto
transportation
and
Toronto
Fire
for
responding
to
a
serious
emergency
that
occurred
yesterday
in
the
West
End
of
the
city.
We
had
eighty
millimeters
of
rain
a
foul
in
a
two
hour
period,
which
is
about
a
eighty
year,
storm
that
occurred.
They
came
in
and
cleared
out
the
catch
basins
they
pulled
cars.
Out
of
you
know,
rain
ponds
anyways
they
acted
quickly.
Luckily,
there
was
nobody
hurt.
No
reports
of
that
and
I
know.
B
This
is
sort
of
an
unusual
situation,
because,
if
you're
in
Scarborough
and
the
East
and
Central
it
didn't
happen,
but
it's
one
of
these
climate
disaster
events
that
is
occurring
more
and
more.
It
was
a
big
funnel
cloud
over
Black
Creek
watershed,
so
I
just
want
to
thank
all
the
staff
for
responding
quickly,
effectively
and
efficiently.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
You
councillor,
Cole
and
I
just
want
to
make
a
comment
as
well.
My
area
got
flooded,
I
think
was
the
highest
in
my
area
and
the
rocks
at
Barry
and
I
just
want
to
thank
city
staff
and
as
well,
Toronto
Fire
Services
and
all
the
staff
that
were
involved
that
responded
to
the
calls
yesterday.
So
thank
you
to
staff
members
of
council.
We
will
now
review
and
confirm
the
order
paper.
A
There
are
51
items
left
on
the
agenda,
including
15
15
member
motions
to
move
this
agenda
along
I
propose
that
council
consider
items
in
the
following
order
today:
the
three
variants
items
ex7
point:
14,
15
and
18
to
be
considered
together:
nine,
three
and
nine
point:
three:
six
on
expanding
housing
options
in
Toronto,
EC,
six
point:
four
on
children's
services,
2019
federal
and
provincial
budgets
and
GL
six
point.
Three
one
on
vehicles
for
hire
is
the
first
item
after
lunch
in
CC
9.14
on
Lake,
Shore,
Boulevard,
west
and
parkland
Road.
A
C
A
C
Speaker,
the
three
items
that
you
said
we
consider
together
have
to
do
with
the
capital
spending
the
operating
spending
for
last
year
and
the
operating
spending
variance
report
for
the
first
part
of
this
year.
There
are
distinct
issues
on
each
and
every
one
of
them
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
ask
staff
questions
about
things
like
why
our
revenues
last
year
were
were
didn't,
match
our
projections
for
the
first
time
in
over
a
decade
and
what
our
plan
is
to
deal
with
it.
C
That's
a
distinct
question
from
what
the
operating
issues
that
we
have
this
year,
which
have
been
in
fact
affected
by
the
provincial
budget,
they're,
not
the
same
issue.
The
fact
that
they
have
something
to
do
with
finance
would
say
that
ninety
percent
of
our
agenda
should
be
considered
together
because
they
all
have
financial
implications,
as
the
budget
chief
well
knows,.
A
B
A
E
A
G
Has
nine
point
five
seven
been
dealt
with
on
valley,
woods,
I,
remember,
introducing
it
I'm,
not
sure
whether
it
was
cleared
well.

sir
Wang
Tam.
Yes,.
H

I
J
B
F
Speaker
I'd
like
to
a
release
on
page
4
de

1.29,
Leslie,
Street
and
lakeshore
Boulevard
intersection
safety.
It
is
to
put
a
no
right
turn
on
red
and
I'm,
just
hoping
that
this
can
be
put
in
very
quickly,
because
child
was
injured
on
the
bike
signal
there.
Just
this
week,
when
someone
was
turning
right.
Okay,
I'm.

F
A
A
L
A
All
those
in
favor
of
adopting
the
order
paper
on
favor
carry
now
members,
as
this
is
our
third
day,
and
we
have
many
items
left
to
finish:
I'm
not
prepared
to
entertain
further
motions
without
notice.
If
you
have
something
I'm
asking
that
you
speak
to
me,
I
must
be
convinced
that
this
matter
is
truly
urgent.
In
any
event,
I
will
not
accept
anything
further
motions
after
11:00
a.m.
this
morning,.
C
N
N
C
Million
dollars
of
public
services
that
we
approved,
your
predecessors
and
city
managers,
predecessors
had
given
us
several
reports
indicating
that
it
was
an
increasingly
likely
risk
that
we
would
under
perform
on
our
revenue
because
of
our
increased
reliance
on
land
transfer
tax
for
our
operating
budget.
That's
correct.
C
N
C
C
N
Speaker,
if
you
recall
in
our
last
council
meeting
in
June,
we
acknowledged
that
we
were
doing
some
work
with
Ernst
&
Young
with
regards
to
a
value-based
outcome
review,
and
that
was
to
help
us
address
the
fiscal
challenges
that
face
us
in
2020
and
in
the
out
years,
and
that
outcomes
review
is
is
is
ongoing
right
now.
We
don't
have
the
results
of
that,
but
we
are
looking
at
revenues.
We
are
looking
at
policies.
We
are
looking
at
program
outcomes.
C
N
C
C
G
G
N
A
Councillor
Fillion,
on
page
six,
you
held
down
nine
point
three
six.
J
J
Yes,
so
I
have
an
amendment,
adding
the
words
and
the
planning
staff
consult
with
registered
homeowners
associations
prior
to
submitting
their
report,
while
I
think
the
amendment
is
necessary.
I
can't,
unfortunately,
support
the
general
motion,
but
only
because
of
the
way
it
is
written,
I
certainly
support
the
notion
that
we
need
to
provide
different
types
of
housing
at
all.
Parts
of
the
city,
including
the
the
area
I
represent
and
I,
have
been
having
discussions
to
look
at
the
best
way
to
do
that.
I
think
the
motion
in
front
of
us.
J
The
way
it's
worded
has
a
unintended
consequences
whenever
you
talk
about,
but
if
what's
implied
here
is
that
we
might
throw
out
the
planning
rules,
I,
don't
think
the
planning
staff
are
going
to
come
back
and
say,
let's
toss
the
Official
Plan
and
the
recycling
bin.
But
the
way
this
is
worded,
it
would
appear
that
that
is
possibly
the
intent
that
I'm,
frankly
not
clear
what
the
intent
of
this
motion
is
as
far
as
how
wide
it
intends
to
go.
J
So
what
this
does
is
really
again
the
way
it's
worded
really
waives
a
red
flag
in
front
of
the
large
number
of
community
associations
across
the
city
who
one
of
their
primary
functions
is
to
protect
neighborhoods
and
they
spend
an
awful
lot
of
time
on
planning
issues
directed
at
doing
just
that.
I.
Don't
think
that
the
mayor
and
councilor
by
Lao
intend
to
dismantle
our
neighborhood
protections,
but
you
certainly
wouldn't
know
that
from
the
way
this
is
worded.
J
So
you
know,
I'm
I
would
have
much
preferred
to
change
the
wording
of
this
so
that
it
didn't
have
the
unintended
consequences.
However,
I've
been
unable
to
convince
the
mayor's
office
or
the
or
Council
of
Eila,
of
the
wisdom
of
doing
that,
so
I
will
have
to
vote
against
it
and
the
other
completely
unintended
consequence.
I'm
sure
is
when
you
either.
J
You
cause
people
not
to
intensify
their
because
they
would
rather
do
it
in
the
interior
of
the
neighborhood.
If
they
think
they
could
get
away
with
it,
because,
for
example,
to
pick
a
simple
example,
you
can
sell
townhouses
more
for
more
on
the
on
an
interior
street
and
you
can
buy
the
land
cheaper.
So
why
would
anybody
assemble
on
the
Main
Street,
where
we've
said?
We
want,
for
example,
townhouses
or
walk-ups
whatever
for
more
money
and
be
able
to
sell
them
for
less
so
they
start.
J
J
C
J
I
J
J
Community
associations,
at
some
point
it
wasn't
clear
when
one
of
the
unfortunate
things
with
this
is
that
it
was
introduced
the
day
before
a
council
meeting.
It
didn't
go
through
committee
and
for
large
parts
of
the
city.
This
is
a
very,
very
big
issue
for
large
parts
of
the
city.
This
is
as
big
or
bigger
than
bill
108.
J
So
it
you
know,
I,
just
the
residents
of
the
city
didn't
have
a
chance
to
comment
on
the
scope
of
this
at
committee,
where
it
should
have
happened
in
my
opinion,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
they
have
a
chance
to
comment
on
the
scope
of
it
and
the
parameters
of
it.
Prior
to
a
report.
Coming
back
to
committee.
A
M
You
know
for
certainty
that
I
think
is
very
important
but
I,
just
in
terms
of
the
comments
made
through
you,
madam
Speaker,
by
Councillor,
Philly
and
I.
Don't
think
anybody
was
proposing,
least
of
all
me
or
a
deputy
mayor
by
law
that
we
should
be
I,
think
you
said,
throw
the
Planning
Act
or
the
planning
our
plans
out
the
window
about.
M
At
the
same
time,
this
is
very
specifically
meant
to
say
that
the
status
quo,
the
status
quo,
exactly
as
written,
cannot
does
not
allow
us
the
opportunity
to
do
some
things
that
we
simply
have
to
do
as
a
city
in
order
to
make
sure
that
we
are
taking
the
short,
medium
and
long
range
view
with
respect
to
opportunities
that
we
have
to
produce
thousands
of
additional
housing
units.
You
know
it's
interesting
to
me
that
the
laneway
housing
and
I
know
there
will
still
be
some
debates
taking
place
in
neighborhoods
as
the
reality
of
laneway.
M
M
But
to
me
you
know
some
people
will
say
that
I
come
later
to
these
things
than
I.
Should
some
people
will
say
that
we
never
should
come
to
this
at
all,
because
it
does
jar.
The
status
Cora
proposes
the
possible
jarring
of
the
status
quo.
I
just
look
at
it
and
say
the
time
has
come.
You
know
for
us
to
have
an
honest
discussion
about
this,
to
look
clearly
through
the
eyes
first
of
our
professional
planners
at
at
ways
in
which
we
can
innovatively
compatibly
sensitively
responsibly,
but
nonetheless,
that
we
can
move
to
address
something.
M
That
is
a
very
significant
problem
for
a
very
large
number
of
people
in
the
city,
not
to
mention
the
growth
that's
going
to
take
place
in
the
city
going
forward,
and
so
you
know
there
will
be
a
wide
range
of
opinions.
Even
when
you
mention
specific
words
in
here,
duplexes
low-rise,
walk-up
apartments
I
had
somebody
talking
about
the
equivalent
in
suburban
terms
of
laneway
housing,
which
I
think
somebody
called
a
driveway
house.
M
But
you
know,
even
when
you
mention
things
like
that,
people
immediately
start
sort
of
flapping
their
hands
and
and
and
and
you
know
getting
excited
about
it.
I'd
say
well,
fine.
We
can
get
excited
about
these
things,
but
we
have
a
responsibility
to
look
at
them
in
a
responsible
way
and
to
look
at
those
options
and,
if
necessary,
to
challenge
the
status
quo
and
and
the
best
thing
I
think
we
can
do
when
we
have.
M
Just
will
stop
coming
here,
which
I
think
would
not
be
in
the
best
interest
of
the
city,
and
so
this
is
one
of
those
things
where
I'm
proud
to
move.
This
motion
I
watched
what
was
going
on
in
other
cities
across
the
United
States,
where
they
were
bringing
in
various
policies
and
I'm,
not
endorsing
or
criticizing
any
of
them.
M
I
could
just
see
other
cities
we're
addressing
this
and
I
felt,
and
then
I
talked
to
my
own
team
and
two
deputy
mayor
by
law
and
two
counts
there,
Bradford
and
others,
and
and
the
chief
planner
and
just
said.
We
at
least
have
to
initiate
an
examination
of
this
in
a
responsible
way.
I
think
that's
exactly
what
this
does
and
there'll
be
lots
of
opportunity
for
everybody,
including
everybody,
in
this
room
to
be
consulted
and
to
have
their
voices
heard.
M
A
C
You
speaker,
while
I
will
be
supporting
this
motion,
it
is
not
for
the
reasons
just
stated
by
the
mayor
and
I'm
gonna
take
a
moment.
I'm
gonna
get
back
to
in
a
moment.
Why
I
think
the
mayor's
argument
doesn't
doesn't
work.
I
think
there
are
good
urban
form
reasons
to
have
a
variety
of
housing
forms
in
neighborhoods.
C
The
area
I
represent
historically,
has
always
done
that,
and
it
means
that
you
have
a
people
in
a
variety
of
phases
of
life
before
they
have
kids
when
they've
retired
they
can
stay
in
the
same
neighborhood
and
there's
value
to
that.
The
argument,
though,
that
some
make
that
this
has
something
to
do
with
providing
more
housing,
affordability
and
more
housing.
Choice
is
absolute
nonsense.
C
First
of
all,
the
number
of
units
that
will
be
produced
if
we
relaxed
zoning
in
the
so-called
yellow
belt
will
be
in
the
the
dozens
may
be
the
hundreds
right
now
we
have
a
hundred
and
forty-four
thousand,
it's
that
are
approved
and
we
awaiting
construction
in
the
City
of
Toronto.
The
this
is
not
even
a
drop
in
the
ocean.
This
is
this
is
moisture
hovering
above
the
ocean.
C
In
terms
of
the
volume
of
housing
that
you
will
be
producing,
the
second
thing
is
that
in
no
way
will
this
housing
form
be
affordable
when
we
were
considering
putting
in
laneway
housing.
Initially
some
of
the
advocates
said
we
should
make
it
affordable
when
we
got
the
business
cases
back
from
the
affordable
housing
staff,
they
said
basically
to
us
for
the
amount
of
money
that
you
would
have
to
subsidize
to
get
these
units
constructed
and
pay
the
rents
on
them.
You
could
produce
three
times
as
much.
C
Affordable
housing
in
other
forms,
ground
related
ground,
related
housing
in
established
neighborhoods
is
gonna,
cost
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
unit
to
build
and
is
gonna
rent
for
at
least
twice
as
much
as
what
the
median
income
in
the
City
of
Toronto
can
support.
I've
seen
business
cases
proposed
for
these
triplexes
and
in
Scarborough
or
North
York,
which
pretty
much
make
it
the
case
that
only
people
in
the
top
15
or
20%
of
income
will
be
able
to
afford
these
new
triplexes
duplexes
and
townhouses.
This
will
be
luxury
boutique
housing.
C
This
is
not
about
affordable
housing.
I
don't
object
to
that.
But
let's
not
lose
sight
of
the
fact
that
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
affordable
housing.
It
also,
as
councillor
Fillion
pointed
out,
will
lead
to
increased
land
value
speculation
inside
our
neighborhoods
in
many
jurisdictions,
where
there
is
a
very
hot
real
estate
market
up,
doning
increases
land
price
because
you
get
the
speculators
and
you
get
the
the
the
people
who
are
trying
to
make
a
quick
buck
in
a
hot
real
estate
market
move
in
increasingly
the
work
that
we
have.
C
We
are
getting
put
in
front
of
us
at
the
Planning
and
Housing
Committee,
where
we
had
the
UN
Special
Rapporteur
on
housing
and
homelessness.
Come
to
us
said
that
the
problem
isn't
supply.
The
problem
is
the
increasing
financialization
of
the
housing
market.
The
housing
market
globally
is
the
single
largest
financial
object
in
human
history.
It's
worth
about.
C
Income
trusts
by
private
mortgage
brokers
by
all
the
various
people
who
are
financing,
but
the
condo
developers
who
are
financing
the
small
builders
all
taking
their
share
means
that
now
the
price
of
housing
is
about
50
percent
or
40
40,
50
percent,
the
cost
to
build
10
or
15%
fees,
and
the
rest
is
all
return
on
investment
for
people
who
are
financing
builders
or
are
themselves
builders.
They're.
C
A
third
of
the
cost
of
housing
is
now
the
financialization
of
housing
in
the
toronto
market,
and
that
tells
me
that
the
the
way
you
solve
the
problem
is
not
by
opening
up
supply
that
just
increases
the
speculative
profits
being
made.
It
means
that
the
only
solution
is
if
we,
as
a
society,
start
to
build
social
housing
where
that
financialization
is
no
longer
part
of
the
price.
C
If
we
go
back
to
the
housing
models
of
the
60s
and
70s,
where
the
federal
provincial
and
municipal
governments
were
actually
investing
in
public
housing
in
co-ops
and
not-for-profit,
that's
how
you
get
affordability
back,
so
don't
get
confused.
While
it's
good
on
an
urban
form
basis
to
support
this
work,
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
affordable
housing.
If
we
want
to
solve
the
affordable
housing
problem,
we
have
to
have
the
courage
to
spend
public
money
to
do
it.
Thank.
I
Very
much
madam
Speaker
I
have
a
motion
here
and
I
would
like
to
request
her
chief
planner
to
include
in
the
report
back
opportunities
for
missing
middle
pilot
in
Ward
19,
with
consultation
with
the
local
councillor
in
our
community.
I
think
that
this
is
a
really
important
initiative
and
I'd
like
to
commend
the
mayor
and
our
deputy
mayor,
Councillor
Milo,
for
bringing
this
forward
today.
It
takes
leadership.
This
is,
of
course,
a
challenging
conversation
and
I
appreciate
councillor
perks,
remarks
there.
There
are
a
lot
of
moving
pieces
on
this
file
when
I
ran
for
City.
I
Council
I
often
spoke
about
my
experience
as
a
civil
servant
here
and
the
challenges
that
we
saw.
Balancing
local
politics
with
good
planning
and
the
motion
here
from
the
mayor
and
councillor.
Bi-Lo
really
is
an
example
of
leadership
on
that
file,
trying
to
strike
a
good
balance
between
both
we're
asking
for
a
report
back
and
more
information
on
an
issue
that
has,
you
know,
been
bubbling
under
the
surface
number
of
op-eds
Twitter
reddit.
I
A
lot
of
people
have
been
talking
about
this
for
for
many
years
now,
and
council
is
coming
together
to
take
action
on
this
file,
which
I
think
is
fantastic.
The
very
first
item
that
we
considered
here
at
Council
in
the
term
was
on
housing
now
and
since
then
at
planning
an
Housing
Committee.
We
have
had
packed
agendas
trying
to
move
forward
on
the
housing
file.
I
This
is
an
important
addition
in
urban
form
here
in
Toronto
over
the
past
decade,
with
development
and
growth,
we
have
seen
a
stark
polarization
where
we
have
60
storey
towers
and
we
have
vast
extents
of
single
detached
housing.
When
you
look
at
the
our
zoning
in
the
City
of
Toronto,
two-thirds
of
that
is
limited
to
single,
detached
housing
and
I.
Think
there
is
an
option
and
an
opportunity
to
introduce
more
gentle
density
and
more
options
in
that
our
zoning.
I
This
is
largely
a
legacy
and
a
product
of
amalgamation,
with
Arkansas
official
plan
and
our
consolidated
zoning
bylaw
and
for
20
years
we've
had
the
same
approach.
I
think
today,
with
the
housing
challenges
and
the
pressures
facing
the
city
with
less
than
1%
rental
vacancy
rate
in
Toronto.
It's
time
for
us
to
actually
take
another
look
so
by
asking
the
chief
planner
giving
him
that
direction
to
come
up
with
some
options
and
a
timeline
to
tackle
this
missing
middle
piece
that
we've
been
talking
about.
I
think
that's
an
important
first
step.
I
In
the
last
five
years,
we've
built
almost
93
thousand
housing
units
in
Toronto.
That's
a
lot.
We've
approved
over
a
hundred
thousand
more
that's
a
lot.
We
have
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
units
nearly
in
the
pipeline,
but
despite
that,
the
median
income
for
families
that
own
a
home
has
fallen.
Fifteen
percent,
since
2006
census,
while
the
cost
of
owning
a
home,
has
gone
up,
sixty
percent-
this
doesn't
add
up.
I
We
often
get
caught
up
in
the
debate
as
councillor
perks
was
alluding
to
it's
about
supply
or
demand,
but
we're
clearly
building
an
incredible
amount
of
supply.
The
question
is:
is
this
the
right
kind
of
supply?
We've
all
seen
the
three
cities
report
halt
chance,
keys
work
that
shows
wealth
is
getting
more
polarized
in
the
City
of
Toronto,
and
we
here,
our
city
manager
talking
time
and
time
again
that
energy
about,
inter
general,
with
intergenerational
wealth
and
how
the
city
is
failing
to
keep
things
equal.
I
If
we're
going
to
address
those
challenges,
we
actually
need
housing
that
serves
serves
in
the
middle
and
that's
that's:
housing,
affordability
across
the
spectrum.
Of
course,
middle
missing
middle
housing
is
not
going
to
solve
the
housing
crisis.
We
need
to
continue
pushing
on
all
of
the
other
initial
initiatives.
Housing
now
create
t
o
TCH.
You
know
public
housing,
open
door,
public-private
partnerships,
it's
the
whole
suite,
but
for
us
not
to
take
this
opportunity
to
look
at
it
today
would
be
a
failure,
so
I
hope
you
could
support
this
motion.
I
P
I
was
about
to
say,
I,
don't
have
the
motion
in
front
of
me.
I
can't
believe
how
fast
it's
already
I.
Guess
you
advanced
circulated
it.
It's
actually
online
already.
It's
I
was
Green
on
this.
So
oh
thank
you
I'm.
Just
wondering
about
your.
Do
you
not
want
to
wait
until?
Would
it
not
be
a
wiser
direction?
I
should
say
to
wait
until
that
report
comes
and,
and
that
day
you
could
move
a
pilot
if
a
pilot
is
necessary.
The
the
report
might
actually
indicate
that
this
is.
P
I
I
I
appreciate,
if
you
haven't,
had
a
chance
to
read
the
motion,
but
it's
a
report
back
on
opportunities,
so
I'm.
Actually
what
I'm
doing
is
providing
a
context
for
them
to
look
at
they're
gonna
come
up
with
a
wide
range
of
ideas,
wide
range
of
opportunities.
That's
gonna
be
done
through
consultation
right
and.
P
I
Putting
it
in
the
context
of
like
here's,
a
real
example
of
what
that
could
look
like
that's
that's
what
the
motion
intends
to
do.
It's
not
necessarily
saying
there
will,
or
there
will
not
be,
but
let's
frame
it
up
in
a
way
where
we
actually
have
the
context.
So
let
me
give
you
a
for
instance,
you
could
take
a
look
at
our
zoning
and
you
could
you
could
say
alright.
Here's
an
area
where
we
have
our
zoning
in
a
community,
and
this
is
what
that
would
look
like.
P
I
I
P
I
Q
I
I
I'm
looking
to
provide
context
for
the
recommendations
for
the
the
report
to
have
a
contextual
relevancy.
What
I
wouldn't
do
is
call
for
a
pilot
in
your
ward
or
anyone
else's
Ward
and
I
would
encourage
you
if
anyone
else
is
interested
to
see
what
that
looks
like
in
their
ward.
You
know
that's
something
that
you
can
bring
forward,
but
I
would
never.
You
know
call
for
something
like
that
in
somebody
else's
community
I.
Think
that,
having
the
context
for
this
direction
to
actually
having
the
geographical
context
is
helpful,
so.
Q
I,
just
wonder:
have
you
ever
experienced
a
stretch
of
neighborhood
of
my
ward
north
of
Lawrence?
It's
an
example
of
a
pilot
north
of
Lawrence
on
babe
you,
which
is
transitioned
from
single-family
dwellings
to
townhouses.
Have
you
ever
visited
that
stretch
of
Bayview,
where
often
the
residents
are
very
unhappy
about
this
I
mean.
Q
I
Not
a
pilot,
there
is
a
request
for
opportunities
to
look
at
one.
How
does
this
address
affordability?
Well,
what
you're
looking
at
is
different
options,
so
townhouses
could
be
part
of
that.
Semies
could
be
part
of
that
duplexes
triplexes
I,
don't
want
to
prejudice
the
information.
That's
gonna
come
back
from
staff,
but
I
would
say
you
can
look
at
jurisdictions
across
North
America
right
now,
particularly
in
the
US
on
the
west
coast.
I
A
I
D
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker.
I.
Think
part
of
the
intention
of
the
motion
is
actually
to
start
the
conversation
that
we're
starting
right
here
in
these
council
of
chambers
and
acknowledge
that
there's
gonna
be
some
challenges
and
knowledge
that
we
have
a
big
city
that
has
very
different
neighborhoods
that
we
need
to
take
in
consideration
that
you
know
this
is
not
the
panacea
that
is
gonna
solve
all
the
housing
issues
being
affordable
or
not
affordable.
D
There's
the
discussions
that
need
to
happen,
but
it
is
an
acknowledgment
that
we
need
to
talk
about
70%
of
the
land
in
this
city
and
it's
also
an
acknowledgment
that
people
are
living
differently.
Nowadays
they
live
differently
in
the
30s.
They
live
differently
in
the
60s
and
70s
and
they're
doing
living
differently.
Today
you
know
I,
remember
when
I
first
came
to
Canada
around
my
neighborhood,
most
people
had
two
three
apartments
in
their
houses.
D
Nowadays,
most
families
are
coming
in
they're,
taking
down
those
apartments
and
doing
single-family
homes,
but
a
lot
of
them
are
also
saying:
no.
No.
We
actually
want
to
continue
to
live
in
the
neighborhood.
So
how
do?
How
can
we
protect
some
of
that
stock?
And
we
have
you
know
small
walk-ups
that
can
be
done
as
well.
So
how
do
you
actually
address
the
different
ways
that
people
are
living
when
you
have
70%
of
the
land
that
you
can
barely
touch
with
over
2
million
bedrooms
empty?
D
That
we
also
have
an
aging
population
that
we
have
to
bring
into
this
equation
with
a
whole
lot
of
housing
stock
in
there?
That
we
need
to
bring
to
the
conversation
so
I
think
this
is
the
beginning
of
an
interesting
conversation
that
we
need
to
have
in
the
city.
But
it
is
something
that
it
is
happening
and
what
concerns
me
the
most
is
that
a
lot
of
us
have
these
in
our
areas
and
a
lot
of
us
say:
no,
we
don't.
D
We
can't
deal
with
this
wink
wink,
it's
not
happening
in
my
area,
and
then
we
hear
of
stories
that
go
to
committee
of
adjustments,
for
example
a
triplex
in
in
in
Scarborough.
That
was
not
approved
the
committee
of
adjustment,
even
though
it
had
40
letters
of
support
from
that
community
and
what
had
happened.
They
have
to
D
house.
D
One
of
the
families
that
live
there
take
a
door
out,
so
it
becomes
legal,
and
let
me
tell
you
about
the
last
couple
of
weeks,
just
in
my
area,
so
one
Street
had
a
body
shop
body
shop
closes
down,
the
owner
comes
and
says
I'm
interesting
and
doing
a
small
walk
up
with
12
apartments.
You
know
what
he's
told
no
severed
the
land
and
do
Sammis
fit
with
the
character
of
the
neighborhood.
This
is
12
rental
apartments.
Next
Dufferin
Street,
300
meters,
north
of
Dufferin
station
small,
walk
up
eight
units.
D
D
If
you
call
that
character
of
the
neighborhood
and
in
a
basement
apartment
together,
you're
talking
about
21
units
that
we
could,
we
could
easily
have
it
that
people
can
live
in
in
our
neighborhoods,
because
for
me,
I
think
it
becomes
also
a
matter
of
equity,
because
a
lot
of
people
and
I
say
this
about
myself.
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
afford
my
house
today.
I
have
a
basement
apartment
and
that
helps
you
know
with
the
expenses
and
a
lot
of
families
like
ours.
D
Look
back
and
saying
you
know
what
I'd
love
to
have
my
kids
living
in
here
I
could
do
a
laneway
housing
I
have
my
aging
parents
that
could
do
a
triplex.
We
need
to
understand
that
these
challenges
exist,
that
we
have
70%
of
our
city.
That
has
the
this
land
that
people
are
thinking
about.
You
know
what
I
could
actually
use
it
to
live
in
a
different
way
that
I
would
be
okay
with
it.
So,
let's,
let's
acknowledge
that,
let's
it,
let's
have
these
conversations
with
our
residents.
D
Let's
start
that
conversation,
because
people
are
feeling
these
challenges
so
can
we
cooperate?
Can
we
make
it
that
it's
that
it's
easier?
Can
the
city
be
part
of
the
solution
with
them?
It's
not
imposing
on
that.
But
it's
saying
we
understand
that
there's
different
ways
to
live
in
our
city.
We
understand
that
people
want
to
keep
living
in
their
neighborhoods.
They
want
their
kids
to
be
able
to
live
in
their
neighborhoods,
and
if
that
is
to
happen,
we
can't
just
think
about
80
stories
and
single-family
detached
homes.
D
We
need
to
find
ways
to
bring
other
kind
of
stock
and
that's
the
conversation
that
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
need
to
have.
Will
it
have
challenges?
Absolutely
land
value?
Speculation
is
an
issue
all
you
know.
This
absolutely
will
not
solve
affordable
housing
else
are
perks,
is
absolutely
right.
I
often
say
this:
you
cannot
solve
affordable
housing
or
the
housing
crisis
by
building
your
way
out
of
it,
but
you
can
also
not
doing
it
by
subsidizing
your
a
out
of
it.
You
need
both
these
solutions
at
the
table.
D
Q
The
the
crosstown
impact
as
much
as
this
is
an
exciting
asset
for
the
city
is
unbelievable
and
I
spend
most
of
my
evenings,
as
do
many
of
my
colleagues
at
planning
meetings.
I
have
25
ratepayers
associations
in
Ward
15,
and
that
number
seems
to
be
growing
and
I'm
going
to
use
the
example
of
these
four
developments
that
we
have
before
us
today.
Two
of
them
have
passed.
Q
Two
of
them
still
have
two,
but
if
you
knew
the
price
tag
of
some
of
these
condos
and
quite
frankly,
some
of
the
rental
I'm
still
trying
to
find
out
some
of
the
rentals,
you
would
actually
be
I,
don't
even
know
how
to
describe
it
when
I
found
out
the
the
amounts
that
people
are
paying
for
these,
it's
not
even
in
the
two
and
three
million.
It's
way
above
that
so
I
think
this
is
not
a
discussion
about
stock
or
supply.
Q
This
is
discussion
about
affordability,
or
that
should
be
the
discussion
and
I'm
gonna
use
Bayview
Avenue
again
as
an
example,
as
I
shared
with
councillor
Bradford,
there
was
a
development
of
just
north
of
Lawrence
on
Bayview.
It
was
eight
ten
years
ago
planners
were
against
it.
The
OMB
voted
it
in
and
that
created
the
horse
came
out
of
the
barn.
There
was
no
way
to
close
the
barn
doors,
and
so
there's
been
a
ripple
effect.
A
domino
effect
of
Bayview
Avenue
I
want
you
to
go
and
drive
there
someday.
Q
When
you
have
a
chance
to
look
at
those
townhouses
and
tell
me
if
that's
helping
affordability,
most
of
them
are
actually
sitting
empty.
But
tell
me
if
that's
helping
affordability,
we've
lost
a
single-family
dwelling
to
these
townhouses.
The
neighbors
are
very
upset,
but
I,
don't
think
that's
helping
and
I
can't
help,
but
really
do
duplicate.
What
councilor
perc
said
about
the
UN
rep
that
came
to
Planning
and
housing
and
clearly
stated
Toronto
does
not
have
a
stalker
supply
issue,
its
affordability,
so
I
think
this
is
worrisome
on
many
levels
which
councillor
Fillion
pointed
out.
Q
Q
Toronto
is
tweeting
up
a
storm
about
how
exciting
this
is
BLD
when
I
when
I
say
build
so
I,
just
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
consult
with
our
a
peers
and
residents,
associations
and
community
associations
be
IAS.
There's
not
much
green
space
left
on
my
ward,
it's
almost
all
grey
and
concrete,
and
while
I
understand
I
have
three
sons
who
want
to
live
in
the
city
and
I
really
get
the
title
of
this
motion.
I
really
love
the
title
of
this
motion.
Q
C
H
A
A
L
C
C
C
My
experience
has
been
that
on
on
these
long
term,
financial
planning
matters
that
you
know,
events
overtake
us
the
province
does
something
crazy
and
all
of
a
sudden,
our
agenda
gets
full
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
clear
that
we
as
a
council
are
want
to
see
the
work
that
the
consultants
that
are
instant
young
are
doing
about
how
we
manage
our
finances
going
forward
before
we
do
the
budget
debate
in
2020.
It's
worth
remembering.
You
know
we
do
our
first
budget
at
our.
You
know
one
of
our
first
meetings.
C
Unless
we
see
this
report
before
we
do
the
2020
budget
debate,
so
this
is
following
what
staff
said
they
intend
to
do
anyway,
I'm
merely
putting
it
on
records
so
that
events
don't
overtake
us
so
that
we
don't
lose
it
so
there's
a
clear
direction
from
Council
that
we
need
to
understand
our
long-term
financial
implications
of
our
budget
planning
before
we
cement
the
2020
budget.
Thank
you
thank.
A
A
L
D
L
A
A
L
Councillor
Layton
and
I
number
of
other
councillors
joined
us
how
to
press
conference
the
other
day
talking
about
the
matter
of
child
care
and
I
will
admit
tonight.
I
said
at
that
time
that
I've
spoken
of
child
care,
often,
but
for
for
the
first
time
in
my
life,
this
has
become
a
deeply
personal
issue
because,
like
many
of
many
of
you
around
this
chamber,
him
like
many
others,
grace
and
I,
are
soon
to
join
the
ranks
of
being
parents.
L
We're
having
our
first
born
in
November
and
I'll
tell
you
we
found
out
at
around
5
weeks
before
you
had
declared
conflict
before
we
told
a
single
person
before
we
told
our
parents,
or
our
best
friends
or
our
siblings,
we
went
and
registered
ourselves
for
child
care
lists
was
the
very
first
thing
we
did.
We
found
out
and
we
twin
and
put
ourselves
on
numerous
child
care
lists,
because
we're
worried
about
finding
a
space.
L
We
both
work
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
we're
gonna
get
a
space
and
then
the
second
thing
we
did
after
putting
ourselves
on
those
lists
was
look
at
the
fees
that
are
required
for
infant
and
toddler
childcare
and,
like
all
of
you
in
this
chamber,
I
am
incredibly
lucky
and
privileged
to
have
a
good-paying,
full-time
job.
I
and
my
spouse
works
as
well,
and
when
we
went
and
looked
at
the
childcare
fees
that
if
we
get
a
space,
we
will
be
paying
after
household
costs,
other
expenses
and
everything
else.
L
L
If,
if
you're
looking
for
a
subsidy
for
the
waiting
list,
is
15,000
and
due
to
a
recent
memo
we
received
from
the
province
saying
the
2020
cuts
are
still
on
board.
6,000
subsidies
are
at
risk,
but
even
if
you
don't
qualify
for
a
subsidy,
it's
unaffordable
and
and
I
believe
to
my
core
that
child
care
should
be
affordable
and
accessible
for
everyone.
L
That's
a
full-stop.
Childcare
should
be
no
different
than
public
school
in
health
care,
and
nobody
should
ever
have
to
think
twice
about
whether
or
not
to
have
a
child
because
of
the
availability
and
affordability
of
childcare,
and
so
this
provincial
government,
which
did
the
right
thing
as
it
relates
to
some
of
the
costs
that
they've
proposed
the
cuts
that
they
propose
to
retroactively
Lee
implement.
They
did
the
right
thing
when
they
removed
that
retroactivity.
L
But
we've
received
a
memo
that
says
that
the
cuts
are
still
on
for
2020
the
cuts
that
are
going
to
impact
more
than
6-thousand
subsidies
are
still
on,
and
we've
also
now
heard
that
the
previous
commitment
by
the
provincial
government
to
provide
funding
for
3,000
new
spaces
in
51
childcare
centres
that
that
capital
funding
is
now
at
risk
unless
we
come
up
with
the
operating
dollars,
34
million
and
that's
just
unacceptable.
It's
flat-out
unacceptable
as
a
soon-to-be
parent.
I
can't
accept
that.
But
I
think
as
a
resident
of
the
city.
L
L
349
childcare
spaces
located
in
for
school
boards
across
our
city
have
received
occupancy
grants
since
1998
and
if
those
occupancy
grants
are
lost,
that
puts
in
jeopardy
the
childcare
fees
for
eighteen
thousand
and
four
hundred
kids
and
given
the
unaffordability
of
childcare.
Given
the
lack
of
accessibility
of
childcare.
As
a
member
of
this
council,
I
simply
cannot
accept
telling
parents
of
eighteen
thousand
four
hundred
kids
an
effective
January.
L
First,
their
childcare
fees
will
go
up,
their
rates
will
go
up,
and
so
the
demand
here
and
I'm
you
know
I
will
be
supporting
councillor
Layton's
amendments
shortly
is,
first
of
all
that
we
don't
just
work
with
the
province
to
hold
the
status
quo
so
that
we
continue
to
have
a
large
waiting
list
and
a
lack
of
childcare
spaces,
but
rather
to
invest
more.
This
isn't
about
reversing
proposed
cuts.
L
This
is
actually
about
building
a
system
of
childcare
across
all
three
levels
of
government
that
ensure
that
just
like
health
care
and
just
like
education,
if
you're
gonna
have
a
kid,
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
whether
a
space
will
be
there
for
you
or
whether
you'll
be
able
to
afford
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
K
You
very
much
madam
Speaker
I
have
a
motion
that
one
City
Council
reiterate
to
the
province
that
the
goals
of
the
child
child
care
growth
strategy
require
operating
funding.
Funding
for
sustainable
childcare,
growth
to
the
City
Council
requests
the
province
to
provide
operating
funding
to
support
the
51
childcare
capital
projects
that
are
at
risk
of
not
proceeding
three.
If
the
province
refuses
to
extend
the
submission
deadline,
City
Council
requested
city
manager
to
inform
the
Ministry
of
Children
and
Youth
Services
that
the
city
remains
interested
in
receiving
capital
funding
and
City
requests.
K
The
mayor
and
deputy
mayor
I
have
deputy
city
manager,
community
and
social
services
to
meet
with
the
Honorable
jean-pierre
du
Clos,
minister
of
family
children
and
social
Social
Development,
to
discuss
the
possible
possibility
of
additional
federal
funding
to
support
the
operating
costs
associated
with
51
planned
childcare.
Centers.
K
K
That's
it
sir
Thank
You
councillor
Thompson
3049
that
the
province
wrote
us
a
letter
at
the
end
of
April,
saying
if
you
can't
show
us
the
money
in
two
months
for
the
long-term
operating
cost,
the
34
million
that's
needed
over
over
the
course
of
implementing
those
spots.
You
can't
show
that
to
us
by
the
end
of
August.
Those
spots
aren't
happening.
We're
not
helping
you
out
in
building
those.
K
Those
3,000
spots
that
are
being
cut
by
the
province
are
on
top
of
the
occupancy
grants
which
will
cost
each
each
family
about
300
more
dollars
a
year
if
their
kids
in
a
TDSB
facility
daycare,
that's
a
12%
property
tax
increase
on
average
to
those
to
those
parents.
Those
are
that's
on
top
of
the
changes
to
the
subsidy
formula
that
puts
at
risk
6,000
new
subsidies
to
help
send
the
the
kids
of
low-income
families
and
middle-income
families
today
care
so
that
they
can
return
to
work.
K
741
families
for
subsidies
for
their
daycare,
they're
gonna
lose
455
under
the
under
the
change
in
the
formula
the
province
has
done
and
if
they,
if
parents
can
are
on
the
wait
list,
they're
gonna
be
waiting
even
longer
now
now
now
Joe's,
just
waiting
for
that
call
and
and
crossing
his
fingers
that
he's
gonna
get
that
call.
But
I
can
tell
my
friend
counselor
Cressy
the
from
experience.
We
waited
until
the
11th
month
of
my
partner's
parental
leave
to
find
out.
We
had
a
spa.
K
Imagine
the
anxiety,
the
family
planning.
We
were
having
to
do
to
try
to
figure
out
how
to
juggle
zero
childcare
if
my
partner
had
to
go
about
or
or
the
loss
of
her
income.
If
my
partner
had
to
go
back
to
work-
and
we
didn't
have
daycare,
we
would
have
had
to
have
find
private,
a
private,
a
nanny
to
come
in
at
that
expense
and
go
through
the
process
of
identifying
that
individual
and
not
having
the
benefit
of
having
our
little.
K
We
a
couldn't,
have
afforded
it
and
B
we
weren't
prepared
for
that,
because
we
had
thought
we
had
a
daycare
spot
coming
now.
We
were
fortunate.
We
got
that
call
at
the
eleventh
month
and
and
and
got
her
to
got
her
into
care
and
trust
me
like
counselor
cressie.
We
were
on
that
list
right
when
we
found
out
that
we
were
gonna,
be
parents
thanked
and
parents
are
experiencing
this
all
across
our
city,
Thank.
G
K
The
reality
of
the
province
has
said:
if
we
don't
reply
by
the
end
of
August,
we
won't
get
the
funding,
and
the
hope
here
is
we're
gonna
ask
for
Anna
asked
for
the
money.
Then
we're
gonna
ask
for
an
extension
and
if
they
refuse
both
that
we
say
we're
still
committed
to
building
these
spaces,
we're
gonna
find
the
money
to
make
it
work.
We
we
we
have
to.
We
have
to
get
that
capital
financing
right.
K
If
not,
if
not,
the
only
option
is
to
say:
okay,
we're
not
gonna
have
those
51,
those
51
centers,
okay,
so
there's
an
escalation
here,
it's
saying
province,
it's
important
to
provide
the
operating
funding.
You
should
provide
that
too,
if
you
province,
if
you
don't,
provide
the
operating
funding,
these
these
centers
are
risk
three
saying:
if
you
want
to
extend
the
deadline,
we
need
to
find
a
way
to
keep
these
movies.
The
fact
is,
we
just
don't
have
time.
K
G
K
That
we,
we
simply
don't
have
a
choice
at
this
stage
because
of
the
deadlines
they
gave
us
at
the
end
of
August
with
there's
not
an
opportunity
for
a
back-and-forth
here
and
frankly,
that
the
staff
need
to
go
down
and
present
this
to
I
believe
to
the
Ministry
later
today
to
say:
what
do
you
do
it
right?
Okay,.
H
Thank
you
very
much.
Madam
Speaker
I
will
rise
and
and
speak
in
support
of
the
motions
that
have
been
put
forward
by
my
colleagues
and
also
to
lend
my
voice
to
the
fact
that
we
do
need
universally
accessible
childcare
and
it's
not
just
about
the
51
childcare
facilities
that
are
at
risk,
or
perhaps
the
three
thousand
four
and
forty
nine
spots
that
we
will
lose.
It's
the
fact
that
Toronto
is
the
child
poverty,
capital
of
Canada
and
and
that
we
have
the
most
expensive
childcare
program
across
the
country.
H
It's
much
bigger
than
this
conversation,
although
we
are
having
this
particular
debate
today
about
what
is
the
province
doing
to
us.
Now
there
have
been
times
where
the
province
has
stepped
up
under
the
previous
Liberal
government
I
can
think
of
where
they
wanted
to
actually
fund
additional
childcare.
What
they've
said
is
that
they
needed
the
city
to
step
up
and
I.
Remember
in
this
chamber,
we
had
a
big
fight
over
whether
or
not
the
city
would
then
be
able
to
pony
up
some
additional
cash
to
meet
some
of
those
provincial
financial
commitments.
H
But
let's
go
a
little
bit
higher
than
all
of
that:
let's
just
go
much
much
higher
into
the
air
and
let's
talk
about
what
does
a
universal
national
childcare
program?
Look
like
and
really
this
is
where
we
we
can
set
the
conversation
and
put
into
place
when
the
federal
election
is
underway,
when
the
ridaz
drop
went
up
all
the
platforms
that
from
the
parties
are
released.
H
If
you
don't
want
to
have
this
debate
ever
again,
if
you
want
to
make
sure
that
families
in
Toronto
have
childcare-
and
that
means
that
women
in
particular-
and
it's
important
for
us
to
recognize
that
it
is
also
a
gender
issue,
it
will
have
a
gendered
impact.
Women
are
gonna,
be
disproportionately
affected
without
accessible
childcare.
It
is
a
catch-22:
women
are
going
to
be,
children
will
be
forced
to
stay
home,
they
will
be
forced
to
give
up
their
promising
careers.
H
They
will
be
forced
to
not
contribute
to
the
economic
measure,
culture
of
society,
because
a
woman's
work
and
child
work
and
caregiving
work
is
not
valued
domestically.
We
don't
put
a
value
on
that
GDP,
so
I
would
only
encourage
us.
Not
only
do
we
send
a
loud
message
to
the
province,
but
also
to
make
sure
that
we
take
this
enthusiasm,
this
energy,
that
we
have
to
fight
the
province
to
get
what's
ours
is
that
we
actually
take
this
energy
and
the
passion
and
make
sure
that
childcare
is
a
ballot
box
issue
in
October.
D
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker,
and
I'm
just
gonna
follow
up
on
the
comments
from
Council
a
long
time,
because
I
think
that
we
need
to
speak
louder
on
this.
Continual
forceful
downloading
of
responsibilities
that
keeps
happening
to
the
City
of
Toronto
I
think
that
we
had
I
do
have
a
motion,
I'm,
not
sure
if
it's
ready,
sorry.
P
P
Yeah,
madam
Speaker
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
moving.
Anything
I
just
wanted
to
rise
in
support
of
the
motions
and
and
particularly
councillor
crises
motion.
That
says.
Not
only
do
we
need
to
maintain
the
occupancy
grant
from
now
until
the
2020
budget
process,
but
it's
time
for
staff
to
learn
that
counsel
again
and
again
has
voted
that
we
don't
want
to
destabilize
the
full
Fein
pay
parent,
the
full
fee,
paying
parent
using
this
measure
we're
simply
going
to
have
to
find
other
ways.
Madam
Speaker
I'm
not
sure
why
the
provincial
government
does
want
to
destabilize
childcare.
P
I
kind
of
do
understand
why
other
orders
of
government
struggle
with
housing,
because
many
times
a
family
gets
on
a
housing
list
and
now
they're
on
it
for
for
a
lifetime,
multi-generationally
I,
don't
understand
it
with
childcare.
The
beauty
of
childcare
is
that
families
move
in
and
out
of
it
children
grow
and
now
you
can
serve
other
children.
There's
no
such
thing
as
a
legacy.
P
Kid
who
moves
into
childcare
and
never
leaves
that
would
drive
a
government
to
think
how
do
I
somehow
make
my
way
out
of
this
families
move
out
and
innovate
and
where
we're
able
to
renew
this
service
for
new
families.
It's
a
good
news
story
for
any
order
of
government
I.
Don't
know
why
the
province
wants
to
to
yank
themselves
out
of
this
one,
but
they
do
I
have
an
inkling
though-
and
it's
in
this
offer
in
the
first
item,
madam
Speaker,
to
say
to
the
city,
build
this
capital
or
we're
gonna
say
well.
P
We
would
have
liked
to
have
built
these
these
centres.
We
would
have
liked
to
have
developed
more
spaces,
but
the
city
said
no
build
this
capital,
oh
by
the
way,
as
a
sidebar
we're
not
going
to
help
you
operate
it
once
it's
done
what
they
would
like
you
to
do,
they'd
like
us
to
take
public
money
and
build
space
and
then
by
pulling
out
of
operating,
leave
us
with
all
this
space
that
ends
up
needing
to
be
privatized
inside
public
facilities
in
schools,
and
you
lose
control
of
that
point
of
the
quality
of
the
childcare.
P
If
we
think
about
it,
that
could
be
the
only
reason
why
they
would
offer
please
let
us
build
these
centers,
but
no
not
operate
them,
and
we
know
you
don't
have
the
money
to
operate
them
either.
I
could
that's
the
only
real
rational
explanation
so
where
we
can
with
it
with
an
amount
of
money
as
small
as
the
total
envelope
of
the
occupancy
grant.
Why
would
we
engage
in
the
destabilization?
All
that
does.
All
that
would
do
is
feed
into
what
we
we
can
see
from
their
actions.
P
This
provincial
government
would
love
for
us
to
be
arguing
with
the
school
board.
Two
beggars
fighting
over
the
crumbs
as
they
pull
out
of
a
system
that
we
know
that
the
community
and
every
family
in
this
community
wants
them
to
stay
in.
We
know
that,
and
so
at
the
very
least,
we've
got
to
keep
those
occupancy
grants,
but
really
what
we
ought
to
be
doing
is
calling
them
out
for
what
they're
doing
when
they
say,
take
public
funds
and
build
some
facilities
and
then
we'll
refuse
to
run
them
will
refuse
to
put
children
in
them.
P
We
know
damn
well
what
the
agenda
is,
and
we
need
to
name
that
agenda
and
make
sure
that
all
of
the
families
know
that's.
What's
going
on
when
I
say
families
I
mean
every
generation
of
a
family
not
having
a
subsidized
childcare
space
for
a
grandchild
when
it
was
needed,
meant
that
money
started
to
flow
out
of
my
account
just
as
councillor
Layton
uses
his
own
personal
experience,
councillor
Cressey
uses
his
future
personal
experience
to
say
this
hits
me
in
a
way
I
think
it's
hitting
other
families.
P
I
know
there
are
16
year-olds
in
this
room
and
70
year
olds
at
home.
That
know
that
their
grandchildren,
their
children,
are
only
living
a
quality
of
life,
because
when
you
abandon
childcare,
the
entire
family
at
every
generational
level
ends
up
having
to
pass
the
Hat
just
so
that
we
can
keep
mom
and
dad
in
our
economy,
and
the
province
needs
to
own
up
to
the
fact
that
they're
not
trying
to
keep
mom
and
dad
in
our
economy.
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker.
A
Thank
You
counselor
by
law.
You
had
kept
your
motion
ready.
Yet
what
do
one
ask?
Okay,
because
we're
trying
to
get
this
I,
these
items
done
councillor
Crawford
to
speak,
yeah
hold
on
it
is
ready,
come
on
members.
We
want
to
get
the
agenda
complete
today,
like
if
you
got
motions
bring
them
to
the
staff
way
in
advance,
so
they
can
have
it
ready
councillor
baile
to
speak.
Okay,.
D
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker,
and
my
motion
as
I
was
saying,
is
very
much
in
line
with
what
councilor
Christian
warm
tam
was
saying
that
you
know
we
we
do
need
the
province
and
and
and
the
federal
government
to
take
a
key
role
and
and
partnering
on
this.
We
continuously
get
downloaded
with
over
with
these
responsibilities
and
I
think
they
are
in
conversations.
They
are
negotiating
their
agreement.
I,
don't
know
how
well
things
are
going,
but
I
think
it
is
important
that
our
city
manager
asks
our
federal
counterparts.
I
spoke
to
staff.
D
There's
a
big
question
mark
on.
What's
gonna
happen
after
March
2020,
so
the
pressure
in
this
matter
might
be
even
worse
than
what
we
think,
because
we
don't
have
a
provincial
federal
agreement
that
it
is
in
place
after
March
2020.
So
if
the
pressures
that
we're
feeling
right
now
are
bad,
they
can
get
even
worse,
so
I
think
we
need
to
start
talking
with
our
federal
partners.
We
need
to
ask
them
for
for
the
priorities
that
are
really
important
to
us.
This
is
a
another
issue
that
our
families
in
Toronto
are
feeling.
When
we
have.
D
You
know
a
city
that
is
growing
that
people
want.
You
are
coming
here
for
jobs,
and
then
they
can't
file
child
care
that
they
they
it's.
You
know,
as
many
families
say,
almost
a
second
mortgage
that
that
they
have
compared
to
other
cities
other
even
in
our
country,
it
is
one
of
the
most
expensive
childcare
services
around
the
world.
I
think
we
need
to
do
something
about
it.
G
First
of
all,
I
am
supportive
of
the
two
or
three
motions,
of
course,
with
councilor
I
want
to
thank
him
for
working
with
him
to
really
put
this
issue
back
into
the
budget
process
submission
where
it
belongs.
With
regard
to
councillor
Layton's
motion,
I
will
thank
council
Ainsley
for
the
questions
that
he
answered
when
we
go
to
vote
for
this
I
will
be
asking
to
remove
number
three
and
vote
on
that
separately,
mainly
being
this
undermines
our
negotiating
ability
with
the
province
at
the
moment.
G
From
my
perspective,
the
province
is
now
listening
to
us
and
will
listen
to
us
and
I
think
there
is
an
opportunity
to
really
push
for
the
sort
of
funding
that
we
need
for
the
for
the
childcare.
But
again
this
undermines
our
position.
We
should
not
be
having.
We
should
not
be
talking
about
a
funding
source
right
now.
Prior
to
the
negotiations
finishing.
There
will
be
time
afterwards
to
be
able
to
look
and
deal
with
number
three
but
I
think
to
put
that
and
make
that
decision.
G
Premature
or
prior
to
any
of
those
discussions
that
are
happening
is
not
gonna
help
us
out.
In
fact,
the
problems
can
look
at
that
and
go
well.
They
have
a
funding
source,
they're
gonna,
do
it
we'll
let
them
do
it
I
think
we
need
to
put
the
pressure
on.
We
need
to
continue
to
put
the
pressure
on
number
three
does
not
support
that.
So
I'll
actually
be
asking
as
I
understand
the
intentions
of
council.
Lady
fully
understand
the
intentions
of
what
he's
doing,
but
I
think
that'll.
G
O
O
So
it's
just
I
just
think
it's
just
devastating
that
we're
in
this
situation,
in
the
first
place
that
we
have
to
you
know,
we
have
to
make
a
decision
now
and
I
think
we
are
that
we
are
willing
to
prioritize
a
provincial
responsibility
as
part
of
our
budget
to
fill
a
gap.
But
the
very
fact
that
we're
in
this
situation,
the
first
place,
is
just
unacceptable.
O
O
Have
these
fights
whether
it
be
planning
whether
it
be
childcare,
in
this
case,
whether
it
be
transit,
whether
it
be
you
know
anything
we
deal
with
with
respect
to
the
provincial
government,
we're
just
always
going
to
come
back
to
this
situation
until
Toronto
is
actually
empowered
to
be
a
level
of
government
that
has
defined
responsibilities
for
what
we
do,
but
I
think
just
as
importantly,
a
clear
delineation
about
the
things
that
we
don't
do
you
know.
That's,
that's
subsidiarity!
O
That's
I
think
the
public
want
to
know
who's
responsible
for
what
who
I
pay
taxes
to
that
level
of
government
and
then
I
expect
them
to
provide
those
services,
and
if
they
don't
provide
those
services,
then
we
hold
them
to
account
during
election,
but
right
now
it's
just
so
easy
to
do
this.
It's
actually
commonplace
right.
If
you
went
to
the
average
person
on
the
street
and
said
who's
responsible
for
child
care,
who's
responsible
for
transit
who's
responsible
for
housing,
who's
responsible
for
planning,
they
think
it
might
be
us.
O
It's
largely
the
province,
some
of
its
the
federal
government
I.
Don't
we
just
keep
coming
back
to
this
over
and
over
and
over
again,
and
just
this
can't
keep
going
on
this
way.
I'll
conclude
again
just
by
thanking
my
colleagues
for
bringing
to
this.
You
know
the
forefront.
I
want
to
thank
councillor
Crawford
and
the
mayor,
for
you
know,
being
open
to
I
know
it's
hard
when
we're
dealing
with
these.
O
R
You
very
much
speaker,
Speaker
I,
just
wanted
to
rise
and
my
voice
to
this
issue.
This
matter
came
to
committee
and
was
dealt
with
there.
The
staff
and
the
DCM
I
want
to
certainly
thank
them
for
the
work
that
they
have
actually
been
done
doing
because
there's
a
lot
of
work,
that's
been
done,
trying
to
get
the
province
to
the
table,
to
live
up
to
their
undertaking
and
to
ensure
that
the
3049.
R
Young
people
and
children,
who
would
be
impacted
by
a
lack
of
decision
on
the
province
in
terms
of
moving
forward
on
this
particular
matter,
will
be
addressed.
I'm
so
happy
that
we
are.
An
attorney
would
discuss
this
issue
that
came
from
committee
here
at
Council,
because
this
is
actually
that
body
that
makes
the
final
decision
in
terms
of
how
we
deal
with
these
particular
issues.
R
There's
no
doubt
in
my
mind
that
it
is
very
critical
for
us
here
at
Council
to
ensure
that
the
challenges
that
we're
experiencing
in
terms
of
our
relationship
with
the
province,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
childcare,
will
in
fact
be
addressed
by
us.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
we
realize
there
are
pressures
and
impact
to
us
in
terms
of
our
budgets
and
so
on,
but
at
the
end
you
know
the
end
of
the
day.
I
think
that
it's
important
to
understand
the
societal
impact
to
parents
and
to
families
in
our
cities.
R
R
We
had
a
really
good
system
of
expectation
on
the
51
sites
that
we
were
looking
at
at
at
bringing
forward
and
I
realized
that
they
weren't
all
going
to
happen
all
at
once,
but
nonetheless
we
had
a
process
every
one
of
our
wards,
I
think
in
my
ward,
the
number
of
childcare
spaces
that
are
impacted
is
about
548,
there's
a
significant.
So
in
Scarborough
alone,
there's
over
1500
of
them,
and
so
it's
a
huge
impact
to
people
who
are
already
challenged.
So
we
cannot
certainly
just
stand
idly
by
and
do
nothing
about
this.
R
So
every
effort
that
we
can
actually
make
to
to
make
an
impact
in
in
on
this
particular
issue
must
be
done
and
I
think
we
have
an
obligation
to
do
that.
So
I
continue
to
call
on
the
province
actually
to
do
more
and
to
come
to
the
table
to
work
in
a
reasonable
fashion
so
that
we
can
protect
what
is,
in
my
view,
important
asset
in
our
society,
which
is
our
children.
Thank
you.
K
Of
order
like
to
make
a
point
I
in
the
interest
of
us
having
a
united
voice
with
with
respect
to
discussions
with
the
province,
I've
worked
out
a
small
amendment
to
to
motion
number
three
or
motion
to
number
three
and
that's
to
to
delete
the
second
half
and
instead
use
the
language.
Continuing
discussion
to
receive
capital
funding.
K
A
M
Madam
Speaker
may
I
begin
by
thanking
councillor
Layton
for
making
that
pardon
me
Amendment,
which
I
think
will
make
sure
that
our
negotiating
position
is.
If
you
want
to
call
it
that
I,
don't
know
why
we
should.
We
have
to
be
negotiating
these
things,
but
our
position
is
is,
is
maintained
and
kept
as
strong
as
it
could
be,
and
also
to
him
and
to
councillor
Crecy
and
others.
For,
for
you
know,
bringing
this
matter
in
front
of
us
today
was
here:
I
guess,
for
other
reasons,
to
do
with
the
occupancy
grants
and
so
on.
M
You
know,
councillor
Matt
Lowe,
just
said
something
that
it's
actually
so
true
in
terms
of
where
we
find
ourselves
and-
and
it's
true
of
a
number
of
these
issues.
If
no
one
is
responsible,
then
no
one
is
responsible
and-
and
that
is
part
of
the
problem
here,
but
but
we
have
cobbled
together
over
the
years
and
I
guess
it's
the
story
of
Canadian
Confederation
in
some
respects,
not
just
Ontario
and
Toronto.
We've
cobbled
together
these
partnerships
over
the
years
on
things
mostly
to
do
with
funding,
because
it
is
recognized
and
I
repeat
something.
M
M
In
effect
this
partnership
and
saying
well
we're
really
not
part
of
this
to
the
same
extent
or
going
forward
we're
gonna,
just
say
you're
on
your
own,
and
you
know
I
I
just
think.
That's
wrong.
I
said
that
the
other
day
I
repeat
it
here.
It's
just
not
the
right
choice,
I
I
believe
I
was
speaking
this
morning
at
the
launch
of
the
elevate,
a
tech
conference,
something
we
can
be
very
proud
of.
That's
gonna
be
bigger
than
ever
this
year
and
it
celebrates
the
success
of
our
tech.
M
But
she
said:
there's
more
there's
more
I'm,
not
just
gonna,
have
to
stay
home
and
deny
myself
the
career
that
I
want
to
have,
but
and
and
by
the
way,
I
would
say
that
what
carries
with
it.
When
she's
out
working
earning
a
salary
she's,
paying
income
taxes
to
the
very
same
provincial
government
and
the
federal
government
at
which
she
wouldn't
be
paying.
If
she
wasn't
working.
M
But
she
made
the
further
point
that
if
she
had
to
stay
home
because
she
couldn't
find
or
couldn't
afford
childcare,
they
would
then
probably
not
be
able
to
afford
to
keep
their
house
because
they
wouldn't
be
able
to
make
their
mortgage
payments,
and
she
said
they
would
then
have
to
move
out
of
the
city.
Now.
M
They
just
find
the
city
not
a
place
where
they
can
pursue
their
lives
and
pursue
their
careers,
and
so
what
this
is
all
meant
to
do
today
is
to
give
us
a
chance
and
I've.
Already.
We've
had
we've
initiated
some
discussions
with
the
government
about
this
in
the
aftermath
of
the
skirmish
or
whatever
one
wants
to
call
it
that
we
were
having
and
they
sort
of
put
this
stuff
on
hold
and
we're
gonna
have
to
try
and
talk
to
them
and
try
and
convince
them
of
these
points
and
and
really
the
most
important.
M
A
B
Counts
of
Perutz,
please.
A
So
members,
we
do
have
three
members
motions
that
we
would
like
to
introduce
to.
Okay,
we
added
one
so
that
was
councillor
Chrissy
right
councillor,
Chrissy.
A
L
L
B
A
B
G
A
That
was
just
circulated.
It's
on
your
desk.
We
introduced
it
this
morning,
Faber
carried
anymore
councillor,
Crawford
thank.
G
H
A
H
G
G
L
A
R
A
R
R
R
Thought,
oh
I
see.
Okay,
sorry
I
was
looking
at
15.
So
yes
speaker,
yeah,
it's
okay!
It's
all
right!
Sorry!
It's.
A
A
R
R
S
Through
the
speaker,
the
city
has
spent
considerable
time
working
with
black
Torontonians,
to
understand
the
context
and
the
experience
of
systemic
racism
experienced
by
black
Torontonians
and
two
together
identify
ways
of
addressing
systemic
racism.
In
essence,
the
the
strategy
is
a
plan
to
do
just
that
right.
R
S
R
When
we
look
at
the
city
as
a
whole
is
I
mean
I
I,
understand
the
the
notion
of
racism
and
so
on,
but
is
anti
black
racism
on
the
increase.
Is
it
sustained?
Is
it
the
way
it
was
maybe
five
years
ago?
Are
we
seeing
a
definite
shift,
a
trend
in
terms
of
racism
towards
black
and
other
racialized
folks
in
the
City
of
Toronto,
through.
S
S
R
Good
thing,
which
is
a
very
good
thing
right
right,
and
so
what's
the
next
step
in
terms
of
moving
forward
with
respect
to
this
report,
yesterday,
I
asked
that
we
expand
this
into
the
TTC
matter
that
we
discussed
yesterday
I'm
just
wondering
moving
forward
when
we,
you
know
we're
looking.
This
is
an
internal
report
that
talks
about
what
we're
doing
as
a
city,
but
we
also
have
our
ABCs
and
other
agencies
as
well.
Are
we
looking
at
expanding
this
reach
into
those
areas
as
well.
H
R
In
your
report,
you
talk
about
things
like
you
know:
the
number
of
black
children
living
in
poverty
compared
to
non
racialized,
children
and
so
on.
How
will
this
report,
as
it
relates
to
the
city
and
internal
document,
be
brought
forward
into
the
broader
city
context
in
terms
of
dealing
with
this
particular
issue?
We
were
talking
about
children
earlier
on
in
another
matter,
but
young
black
children.
How
will
we
address
this
issue?
This?
That's
that's
very
problematic
and
in
terms
of
those
who
are
living
in
poverty,
so.
H
When
we
developed
the
the
action
plan,
we
it
this
action
plan
was
was
informed
by
black
community,
with
specific
actions
for
for
addressing
the
issues
of
poverty
among
young
black
children.
So
we're
working
with
all
city
divisions
whose
responsibility
is
to
is
this:
do
service
to
black
children
such
as
Children,
Services
and
PF,
at
our
parks
rec
and
on
forestry,
who
do
work
with
children,
we're
working
directly
with
them
on
these
actions
and.
R
H
What
we
know
is
that,
because
we
are
addressing
the
issues
of
one
of
the
most
marginalized
people
in
our
country
and
in
Toronto,
when
we
do
that
and
when
we
take
specific
actions
to
address
this
and
those
people
benefit
so
black
children
in
particular
benefit.
We
will
see
that
benefit
ripple
across
all
all
all
groups
of
people,
and
especially
those
who
are
marginalized.
Thank.
R
P
The
table
under
improving
customer
service
is
where
we
see
work
in
community
education,
around
policing
policies,
so
I'm
not
sure
whether
or
not
the
TPS
views
the
most
customers,
but
there's
a
common
investing
community
capacity
building
in
public
education,
I
know
your
rights
and
policing
community
issues
when,
when
we
say
know
your
rights
is
that
is
that
specifically
include
that
we're
gonna
work
in
the
community,
not
as
the
not
specifically
as
the
TPS
but
SSC
F&A,
contemplating
that
that
city
programs
will
also
get
involved
in
the
rights
and
receipts
policy.
Education.
P
Rights
and
receipt
say
if
I
have
to
go
back
to
the
whole
action
plan
report,
which,
which
is
another
link
that
I
didn't
open
to
be
reminded.
Is
it
clear
in
the
action
plan
so
that,
if
I
said
to
my
counselors
I
hope,
you've
read
this
or
part
that
that
is
that's
that's
sort
of
the
nickname
for
the
policy
we're
talking
about
the
should
replace
carding.
H
P
So
in
this
investing
community
capacity
building
public
education,
no
your
race
and
policing
community
issues
listed
as
as
divisions
and
agencies
that
would
engage
in
this
TPS
is
listed
there
alongside
of
SDF
na.
So
how,
within
this
does,
does
the
action
plan
here
at
the
city
go
to
any
lengths
to
try
and
make
sure
that
that
policy
is
in
fact
rolling
out
to
our
community?
H
P
With
that
campaign,
although
it's
it's
a
partnership,
I
think
greggwatts
has
left
now.
He
was
here
for
a
long
time
who
was
one
of
the
team
members
working
on
that,
so,
if
that's
being
developed
now,
does
that
get
reported
to
the
police
board?
Would
that
come
back
at
a
later
date
as
part
of
councils
report
back
it.
P
We
can
actually
expect
to
see
some
data
on
whether
or
not
it's
actually
being
employed
in
the
police
service,
and
we
we
might
ask
for
exchange
of
data
so
that
we
would
know
how
many
times
that
forum
gets
used
and
and
whether
or
not
in
fact,
it's
sort
of
embedded
in
the
communities.
Policing,
cultures
through.
H
P
F
Wanted
to
kind
of
explore
the
ways
in
which
you
and
your
staff
are
able
to
assist
in
when
you're
asked
and
I
hope.
You
have
been
asked.
There
was
a
motion
at
the
board
of
Toronto
Community
Housing
when
the
latest
community
safety
program
was
put
together,
that
it
be
reviewed
by
the
city
in
order
to
ensure
that
it
isn't
simply
a
policing
model
or
that
the
policing
model
takes
a
whole
number
of
things
into
account,
and
particularly
race
relations
at
Toronto,
Community,
Housing
and
I'm
wondering
if
you've
been
able
to
work
with
them.
S
S
F
S
F
F
S
F
F
S
F
F
I
guess
that
they'd
be
available
to
have
the
discussion
about
the
the
model,
because
we
are
establishing
a
different
model
than
was
brought
to
the
board
initially
by
TC
HC
executive,
which
was
a
simply
policing
model.
And
after
yesterday's
video.
So
finally,
given
to
us
by
councillor
Thompson
I,
think
that
your
willingness
to
review
whatever
plan
is
in
place
is
very
important.
So
I'll
just
ask
again
that
I
don't
need
to
make
that
I'm
happy
to
make
that
emotion
if
I
need
to
in
order
to
ensure
that
review
takes
place.
S
F
R
You
very
much
madam
Speaker
Speaker
I
rise,
firstly
to
thank
the
mayor
to
thank
him
for
his
leadership
on
this
very
important
issue.
He
has
recognized
that
there
are
challenges
and
there
are
issues
that
are
facing
the
black
community
in
this
city.
Other
communities
are
facing
issues
as
well.
There's
no
doubt
about
that.
R
He
has
taken
the
leadership
and
he's
brought
the
members
of
the
black
community
in
to
discuss
and
to
talk
about
what
needs
to
be
done
to
help
a
marginalized
community
so
that
they
can
feel
that
their
desire,
their
wishes
and
their
hopes
and
their
aspirations
are
met
and
I.
Thank
the
mayor
for
that.
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
as
well.
Mayor
has
not
only
met
with
the
black
community
to
learn
from
them,
but,
as
actually
put
in
place
a
leadership
team
led
by
mr.
R
Berle
injure
and
miss
and
amia
grant
and
her
team
to
put
together
an
action
plan
to
address
issues
that
have
been
brought
forward.
I,
Speaker
I.
Remember
the
young
street
riots
I
remember
those
days
when
the
black
community
spoke
out
in
in
in
in
varying
voices,
and
it
appeared
that
no
one
was
listening.
We
certainly
have
come
a
long
way
from
that
and
I'm
very
proud
of
our
city
for
those
those
actions
and
activities
that
have
been
taken
to
address
this.
R
There
are
some
200,000
people
who
consider
themselves
African,
Canadians
and
or
blacked
in
terms
of
their
ethnicity.
What
is
needed
is
a
plan
to
help
this
marginalized
community
to
create
opportunities
so
that
they
can
better
themselves
and
by
bettering
themselves
we
become
a
better
community.
We
address
some
of
the
fundamental
social
and
societal
ills
that
are
causing
such
hardship
within
the
context
of
the
community.
R
B
R
It's
not
gonna
happen
anymore.
We're
gonna
help
everybody
that
we
can't
help,
because
it's
so
important
that
everyone
realized
that
their
value
doesn't
matter
what
the
color
their
skins
are
and
I
think
it's
important
for
us
as
a
member
of
council
in
this
city.
As
we
talk
about
those
who
have
achieved
so
much
to
realize
that
there
are
those
who
have
not
achieved
much
at
all,
and
many
of
them
look
like
me,
and
you
may
not
understand
that,
but
that
brought
it
home
for
me
when
I
saw.
R
It
can't
continue
to
happen.
The
plan
that
we're
putting
in
place
here
is
an
attempt
to
address
those
fundamental
things.
There
are
many
other
people
experiencing
hardship
and
I
apologize
for
my
emotions,
but
I
have
to
tell
you
when
I
saw
that
I
had
not
expected
that
in
our
city
at
all,
and
so
it's
happening,
and
so
we
need
to
do
more.
We
need
to
step
our
game
and
that's
why
it's
important
for
this
group
of
people
who
are
working
on
behalf
of
this
great
city
to
do
more
to
help
everybody
in
the
city.
R
R
This
is
part
of
that
step
and
I
realize
that's
not
enough,
but
we
have
to
do
more
and
I
want
to
thank
everybody
in
this
chamber
for
looking
ahead
and
the
team
for
doing
more,
because,
while
I
may
be
happy
in
my
life,
there
are
so
many
people
who
look
like
me
that
aren't
happy
and
it
can't
be
happy
because
there's
not
enough
to
help
them
to
do
more.
So
we
have
to
have
a
plan.
R
We
have
to
build
this
plan
on
fundamental
principles
of
wanting
to
help
them
and
we
have
to
invest
in
the
community,
so
we
can
achieve
more
for
all
of
us,
not
just
some
of
us
achieving
all
of
us
have
to
achieve
together
speaker
because
I
think
that
this
city
owes
an
responsibility
and
a
dedication,
a
debt
to
all
of
these
people
to
make
sure
their
lives
are
better.
And
thank
you
again.
Mr.
mayor
Thank,.
P
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker
speaker,
because
councillor
Thompson's
time
was
taken
up.
He
had
he
had
used
his
five
minutes.
I
asked
the
questions
regarding
the
rights
and
receipts
policy.
That
is
a
policy
of
this
city
and
of
this
province
at
this
point,
because
I
know
he
would
have
back
in
2011
when
the
community
raised
this
as
an
issue
and
the
media
took
it
out,
it
was
councillor
Thompson
who
took
it
up
at
the
Toronto
Police
Services
Board,
and
he
started
a
long
climb
that
took
from
2011
to
beyond
his
term
on
that
board.
P
A
A
P
P
P
So
I
don't
have
to
think
about
it
anymore,
but
today
in
your
community,
young
men
still
don't
know
that
if
they're
stopped
informally
they're
supposed
to
be
told
their
rights
first
and
if
they're
stopped
by
a
police
office
he's
going
to
have
supposed
to
hand
them
a
piece
of
paper
that
has
their
name
on
it
and
says
the
reason
they
were
stopped,
they're
being
stopped
multiple
times,
there's
a
piece
of
paper.
There
really
stems
from
the
work
of
councillor
Thompson,
pacer,
community,
meritorious
term
on
the
board.
All
of
that
led
to
a
piece
of
paper.
P
The
young
man
can
go
home
and
say
to
mom
keep
getting
these
pieces
of
paper
from
this
same
officer.
This
guy's
hassling
me
and
something
to
be
done
about
it,
but
that's
why
they
don't
give
out
the
piece
of
paper.
That's
why
they're
not
actually
using
the
policy,
because
then
we
actually
would
be
doing
something
about
it,
and
so
that
the
informal
thing
that's
going
on
now.
P
When
you
go
to
get
services
for
your
children,
she
said
people
when
they
call
her
on
the
phone
using
whatever
is
the
contact
number
be
shocked
and
dismayed
that
the
parent
of
a
black
child
is
is,
is
actually
answering
from
a
place
of
work?
How
could
she
possibly
have
a
job?
Why
would
you
answer
the
phone
that
you're
caught
that
you're
answering
the
phone
from
a
hospital?
Oh,
you
have
a
job.
P
Amazing,
that's
bias,
that's
bias
in
the
public
service
and
we
don't
stop
and
say.
Oh
my
god,
we
have
to
address
that.
We
have
to
get
that
out
in
the
public
service.
That
little
moment
should
never
have
happened,
and
that's
the
fight
you
have
to
get
rid
of
that.
We
have
to
get
rid
of
that.
We
are
the
Angels
that
people
are
hoping
will
create
the
miracle
where
that
stops
government
and
that's
why
this
isn't
just
a
piece
of
policy
that
moves
councillor
Thompson
and
he
makes
his
speech
and
we're
all
moved
for
a
moment.
P
A
F
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
speaker,
I
thought.
I
had
my
name
up,
but
apparently
I
didn't
we're
all
very
tired
and
I
won't
take
too
long,
because
I
know
that
we
still
have
a
long
agenda,
but
I
do
think.
This
is
a
critically
important
issue
in
front
of
us
and
particularly
having
in
the
same
council
meeting
our
Ombudsman
investigation
yesterday
and
now
this
work
that
our
civil
service,
it
has
in
front
of
it
to
confront
anti
black
racism
and
have
a
plan
and
I
do
know
that.
Yesterday
we
did
pass
a
motion.
F
Counselor
McKelvey
and
the
mayor
had
a
motion
to
work
with
urban
Alliance
to
expand
opportunities
for
other
youth
other
than
Muslim
youth,
to
take
advantage
of
a
fellowship
program
and
I'm
not
moving
a
motion
here
today,
but
I
do
believe
that
with
if,
if
we're
serious
in
our
plan
that
are
first
and
foremost,
we
need
to
be
number
one
bringing
in
black
youth
into
a
fellowship
program.
So
I'm
not
moving
that
motion,
but
I'm
looking
to
the
anti
black
racism
Secretariat
to
say.
F
Please
get
on
that
worked
with
this
urban
Alliance
work
with
the
city,
clerk
I.
Think
counsel
would
be
very
happy
to
proceed
in
in
that
direction
and
it
really
opens
up
great
opportunities
for
many
young
people
to
get
a
tremendous
experience
here
at
City
Hall
and
allow
counselors
to
use
some
of
our
time
and
abilities
with
fantastic
youth.
F
I
also
just
want
to
go
over
the
importance
of
having
this
secretariat
review
certain
things,
and
this
is
in
particular,
the
violence
prevention
program
at
Toronto,
Community,
Housing,
a
violence
prevention
program
which
had
no
elements
of
race
laced
into
it
until
number
of
board
members,
including
our
tenant
board.
Members
spoke
up
so
strongly
and
said:
do
not
create
a
tavis
model
here
at
Toronto,
Community
Housing,
under
the
name
of
violence
reduction,
but
have
something
that
works
with
our
community.
F
So
hearing
that
this
Secretariat
can
work
in
a
stronger
way
in
looking
what
in
looking
at
how
to
develop.
That
I
think
that's
very
important
and
look
forward
to
the
results
of
that
and
I
guess
in
September
all
round,
because
that
is
a
program
where
there
are
hiring
requirements
and
a
timeline
on
hiring
requirements
which
is
stop
being
staffed
up
as
very
much
a
policing
model
at
Toronto,
Community
Housing,
that's
the
second
thing
that
I
want
to
say
and
third
is.
F
We
also
have
in
our
agenda
today
we
have
a
number
of
things
and
one
is
community
benefits
agreements.
How
important
are
those
community
benefit
agreements
that
have
been
negotiated?
Let's
say
at
Metrolinx
the
first
one
that
was
negotiated,
we're
official
agreement
on
a
big
project.
How
long
have
we
been
talking
about
things
like
that?
F
Knowing
how
many
billions
of
dollars
we
have
in
hiring
power
at
the
City
of
Toronto,
the
number
of
contracts
that
we
have
where
we
can
have
some
conditions
there
now
mind
you,
nobody
wants
to
change
how
they
work,
including
us
year
ago
we
were
told
you
have
to
change
how
you
work
we're
going
down
to
25.
We
said
we
can't
do
that.
We
are
managing
it's
hard,
but
we're
managing.
So
nobody
really
wants
to
change
the
contractors
that
bid
on
those
things
don't
want
to
change.
F
People
want
to
do
things
the
way
they've
always
done
them,
let's
face
facts,
but
the
fact
really
is
we
have
to
change
how
that
works.
Size
matters,
our
contracts
are
big.
We
can
contribute
to
job
growth
and
learning
and
apprenticeships.
Many
exciting
things
through
community
benefit
agreements
that
we
can
include
everywhere
and
yes,
I'm.
F
Let
is,
let's
continue
being
tangible.
I
know
that
Council
approves
is
interesting
and
looking
at
how
well
we're
working
with
youth
in
Toronto
Community
Housing
their
jobs
there,
how
well
they're
doing
in
getting
jobs,
getting
training
lasting
in
jobs,
full-time
employment
and
I
think
that's
a
very
important
initiative
by
the
anti-poverty
actor.
Thank.
A
E
Speaker,
I
will
be
very
brief.
I
just
can't
help,
but
to
echo
some
of
the
sentiments
of
this
chamber
because
I
think
what
color
is
you
know
in
living
in
the
city
with
with
the
the
ratio
I
think
not
only
the
black
community
will
feel
that
I
think
in
my
community.
They
feel
that
too
and
I
just
couldn't
help.
But
to
echo
this
settlement
sentiment
and
just
tell
you
a
very
quick
story
about
on
Canada
Day
that
I
was
driving
to
the
Milliken
Park
fireworks
and
I
try
to
get
into
the
parking
lot.
E
I
think
I've
been
told
that
this
area
is
my
ward
now,
but
I've
been
told
that
they
have
been
removed
as
a
and
niƱa
and
I.
Just
I
I
can't
forget
what
councilor
Cressy
said
on
the
committee
as
wrapping
up
for
the
economic
development
and
Community
Development
Committee,
he
said
quote
and
quote:
diversity
is
a
fact,
but
inclusion
is
a
choice
and
I've
used
this
in
some
of
my
speeches
and
everybody
I
called
it
very.
