Thank

A
J
F
Speaker
the
issue
before
us
is
the
annual
general
meeting
of
casa
loma
corporation,
and
I
just
want
to
note
to
colleague
councillors
and
the
mayor
how
you
know.
Even
five
years
ago,
ten
years
ago,
we
were
in
a
very,
very
different
place
with
casa
loma.
We
had
a
building
that
was
a
crumbling
that
needed
a
lot
of
outside
renovations
and
inside.
F
The
problems
that
I
have
as
a
little
or
the
abutting
local
councillor
is
has
all
to
do
with
traffic
and
just
the
intensity
of
use
at
that
at
that
site,
which
is
a
kind
of
a
wonderful
thing,
so
I
think
and
now
they're
they're
making
money
and
that
money
is
being
plowed
back
into
the
renovations
of
the
of
the
circumference
of
wall
in
in
in
the
northern
campus
on
the
other
side
of
Austin
Terrace.
So
this
is
a
good
news
story
and
I
think
our
hats.
F
M
A
M
B
You
Speaker
I
rise
to
support
the
recommendations
that
are
before
us
on
the
tenants
first
report
and
I.
Obviously
like
many
others
want
to
thank
our
staff.
The
mayor's
task
force
for
its
original
set
of
recommendations
and
to
the
tenants
advisory
panel,
which
spent
a
great
deal
of
time
providing
input.
B
I
too,
had
a
great
deal
of
anxiety
about
whether
or
not
we
were
going
to
consider
a
divestment
of
our
TCH
C
buildings,
change
in
governance
and
now
I
think
I've
come
to
the
point
where
I
can
accept
this
recommendation
before
us,
which
is
to
take
primarily
the
seniors
buildings
and
put
them
under
a
new
governance
structure,
and
you
know
wasn't
that
long
ago,
that
these
are.
That
was
the
model
that
existed.
We
can't
forget
that
tch
sea
is
still
a
very
young
corporation.
B
It
came
together
at
amalgamation.
We
jammed
together
four
previous
housing
providers.
We
were
downloaded
with
responsibilities
and
funding
from
the
provincial
government
and
then
from
then
until
now,
TC
HC
has
struggled
they've
struggled
to
bring
together
this
corporation
in
a
huge
corporation
with
centralized
administration,
centralized
functions
and
I
have
to
say
that
I've
also
seen
over
the
last
several
years.
B
A
B
Ahead,
thank
you.
We
have
tried
to
send
when
I
think
about
the
models
that
we've
tried
since
I've
been
elected.
We
had
the
choose
system,
we
had
decentralized
management,
we
had
decentralized
maintenance
approach
to
maintenance.
Then
we
went
back
to
a
more
centralized
integrated
model.
The
management
structure
has
changed
many
times.
We
have
been
through
a
model
where
we
said
were
more
than
a
landlord,
so
we're
going
to
have
children
and
youth
programs.
We
will
have
community
health
and
outreach
workers.
We
are
going
to
be
a
caring
landlord.
B
Then
we
went
beyond
we're
going
to
be
a
caring
landlord
back
to
where
a
landlord
and
we
cut
all
of
those
programs
have
said
that
providers
in
the
community
will
provide
those
children
and
youth
programs
as
an
example.
So
we
have
experimented
with
a
lot
of
governance
structures,
a
lot
of
ways
of
operating
TCH
see,
and
someone
made
a
comment
at
the
last
time
we
debated
this.
We
have
to
do
something
I
think
it
was
the
mayor.
We
must
do
something
and
I
agree.
B
We
have
got
to
try
once
again
to
see
if
there
is
a
model
that
will
work
better
for
the
people
who
live
in
our
buildings.
We
must
and
I
think
the
model
that
takes
the
seniors
portfolio
out,
integrates
it
with
additional
services
and
supports
both
city
and
potentially
other
service
providers,
will
provide
us
the
beginning
of
a
focused
approach
to
seniors
programs
and
I.
Think
that
is
important
in
its
own
right
and
finally,
I
also
think
that
what
we
have
to
solve
is
the
funding,
because
I
have
said
all
along
no
matter
what
we
do.
B
It's
all
going
to
be
about
funding.
In
the
end,
it
calls
for
a
new
capital
model.
It
calls
on
the
provincial
government
once
again
and
I
thank
the
mayor
for
continuing
to
call
on
the
provincial
government
for
a
new
operating
model
for
funding
for
TC
HC
and
the
federal
government
for
continued
support.
Thank
you.
I
will
be
supporting
the
motions
before
us.
Thank
you.
Thank
You.
B
Thank
You
speaker,
there
are
three
separate
motions
that
I'm
moving
the
first
one
on
behalf
of
councillor
Fletcher,
and
it
has
to
do
with
the
the
mandate
that
community
housing
board
have
a
general
meeting.
Have
general
meetings,
the
second
one
that
the
eighty
three
seniors
buildings
and
their
previous
corporations
be
and
in
any
kind
of
special
feature
associated
with
funding,
be
looked
into.
B
The
third
one
is
that
2195
Jane
Street
and
3680
Keele
Street,
the
Downs
ooh
acres
and
the
Northwood
apartments
be
added
to
the
list
of
those
buildings
that
were
once
seniors
and
have
now
devolved
into
something
else.
I
only
want
to
make
one
point
chair,
and
that
is
that,
with
our
growing
senior
population
with
people
living
longer,
we
need
more
senior
facilities,
and
it
was
a
shame
that
so
many
of
these
entities
became.
B
Dis
inclusive
of
only
seniors,
and
that
is
because
the
seniors
really
do
want
to
live
in
within
surroundings
of
their
peers
and
they're.
Really,
our
problems
associated
when
family
units
and
units
for
young
single
people
are
added
on
to
seniors
buildings
because
it
doesn't
make
for
an
amiable
day-to-day
transaction
and
we've
had
real
problems
in
these
buildings
in
the
last
few
years,
since
they
devolved
so
I'm
hoping
that
they
can
be
made
retroactive
ly
suitable
for
seniors
exclusive
living.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
You
speaker,
sorry,
Thank,
You,
speaker,
I've.
Struggled
with
this.
We
had
a
debate
about
this
item.
I
want
I
believe
a
year
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
and
at
that
we
voted
as
a
council
that
this
report
should
include
steps
to
make
Toronto
Community
Housing
the
landlord
of
choice
and
the
the
weight
of
funds
rental
community
housing.
To
accomplish
that
goal,
that's
not
the
report!
You
have
in
front
of
you.
K
K
Somehow
and
I
don't
know
how
the
deliberations
were
done
somehow
that
important
priority
on
the
part
of
the
people
we
represent
both
who
live
in
Toronto,
Community,
Housing
and
who
just
live
generally
in
the
community.
Those
important
priorities
are
not
realized
here.
We're
told
that's
for
another
day.
Well,
that's
what
I
thought
the
whole
point
of
having
a
task
force
was
supposed
to
be,
and
there
were
recommendations
in
the
original
task
force.
K
I
asked
staff
about
this,
an
executive
that
would
have
taken
those
measures
to
improve
the
quality
life,
the
experience
life,
the
one
life
they
get
to
live
for,
people
who
live
in
Toronto,
Community
Housing,
but,
like
so
many
things
here
it's,
but
that
the
hard
decision,
the
decision
about
whether
we
as
a
government
are
prepared
to
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is.
Where
we're
prepared
to
say
no,
you
know
what
we
will
not
operate:
second-class
housing
because
there
are
no
second-class
citizens
in
the
City
of
Toronto.
K
That
hard
decision
is
once
again
been
put
off
and
it's
being
put
off
over
money.
We're
a
government
that
continues
to
make
sure
that
people
who
owned
property
never
have
to
pay
any
additional
burden.
Their
tax
rate
is
frozen
either
in
absolute
terms
or
held
to
the
rate
of
inflation.
They
never
are
asked
to
contribute
more
to
help
improve
the
quality
of
life
of
those
most
vulnerable
members
of
our
society.
It's
a
failure.
I
wish
there
were
some
simple
motion
that
I
could
move.
K
That
would
do
that,
but
that
would
involve
opening
the
conversation
about
whether
or
not
we
as
a
government
are
prepared
to
ask
those
in
our
community
who
have
a
little
bit
more
to
help
out
those
who
have
a
little
bit
less,
and
this
council
is
repeatedly
consistently
during
this
term
of
office,
refused
to
do
that
in
January.
During
the
budget
deliberations,
I
stood
up
and
moved
a
motion
to
increase
the
property
tax.
I
believe
it
was
by
one
percent
specifically
to
make
those
improvements
in
Toronto,
Community
Housing,
and
this
council
voted
it
down.
K
If
we,
if
we
claim
to
want
to
be
a
world-class
City
to
be
an
inclusive
City
to
be
a
welcoming
city
to
be
a
city
where
everyone
can
get
ahead,
where
everyone
has
a
fair
chance,
we
would
be
doing
a
great
deal
more
than
what's
in
this
report.
I
have
no
objection
to
the
the
idea
of
resizing
the
pie
of
moving
part
of
the
pie
over
perhaps
one
day
to
a
combined
seniors
division.
I
have
no
objection
to
the
idea
of
trying
to
reinvigorate
other
aspects
of
the
social
housing
sector.
K
We're
certainly
going
to
need
to
do
that.
As
we
saw
during
the
recent
real-estate
bubble,
the
private
market
is
going
to
be
able
to
provide
housing
to
a
lot
of
people
in
lower
middle
incomes
or
even
middle
incomes,
as
the
younger
generation
is
finding
out
so
encouraging
the
growth
of
the
social
housing
sector
generally
through
the
sector,
the
scattered
home,
sale.
Fine
by
me,
I
just
know
that
we
as
a
government
are
not
living
up
to
the
expectations.
N
N
We
haven't
done
that
and
it's
it's
a
shame,
because
we
should
be
talking
to
the
province
about
this
and
now
we're
venturing
into
a
process.
It's
almost
like
a
deja
vu
for
those
of
us
that
have
known
the
housing
stock,
I
started
my
career
and
in
the
then
Ontario
Housing
Corporation
and
back
then
it
was.
N
Over
the
years
we
moved
into
different
models
and
it
became
a
much
bigger
model.
It
became
an
unmanageable
model.
It
became
a
model
where
there
were
more
managers
than
employees.
In
some
cases
it
became
a
model
where
all
that
happened
in
in
MTM,
tha
and
and
T
C
HC
was
run
out
of
one
particular
building
and
it
became
a
bureaucratic
nightmare.
In
my
opinion,
that
led
to
only
one
thing,
and
that
was
less
service
for
the
most
vulnerable
people
that
are
living
in
our
social
housing.
N
Now
we
still
have
that
and
now
we're
trying
to
do
that
without
we're
trying
to
fix
that
problem
without
money
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
know
exactly
what's
going
to
happen
here.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
still
not
going
to
have
the
money
to
fix
up
to
units,
but
we're
gonna
try
to
manage
this
as
best
we
can,
and
it's
going
to
go
back
to
the
smaller
district
model
units.
N
I
know
that
that's
going
to
happen,
because
that's
the
only
real
way
to
effectively
deal
with
your
tenants
in
a
really
good
and
efficient
way
so
that
their
level
of
services
improve
the
other
part
to
the
equation
that
we've
experienced
is.
We
have
wanted
to
become
everything
to
all
the
tenants.
It's
not
it's,
not
just
the
boat
of
being
their
landlord.
We
have
here
at
City,
Hall
felt
that
we
should
be
their
social
workers.
We
should
be
their
recreational
coordinators.
We
should
introduce
everything
that
we
don't
have.
N
The
ability
to
manage
we've
got
pools
that
are
that
are
on
our
sites
and
we're
and
and
and
housing
or
housing
officials
are
having
to
run
recreational
programs
when
really
what
they
want
to
do
is
just
be
the
landlords
that
they
know
how
to
be,
and
so
we
need
to
figure
out
how
to
deal
with
those
components
to
how
do
you
take
the
pools
out
of
the
equation
in
your
particular
social
housing
units
and
give
them
over
to
Parks
and
Rec?
Let
them
run
the
programs.
How
do
we
do
that
effectively
and
I?
N
Think
that
might
happen
with
this
process
to
the
end
of
the
day,
I'll
be
supporting
the
recommendations
that
are
in
front
of
us.
I
think
they're
good
ones,
but
don't
think
for
a
second
that
we're
gonna
have
the
money
to
be
able
to
build
more
affordable
housing
or
take
care
of
the
ones
that
we
do
have
we
don't
even
have
the
money
to
be
able
to
demolish.
Thank.
A
H
H
H
A
few
years
ago,
I
talked
with
a
consultant
who
argued
that
what
would
take
three
dollars
in
the
public
sector,
the
house
families
could
be
done
with
one
dollar
through
a
voucher
system
and
I
would
hope
that
members
of
this
council
would
want
to
look
at
the
voucher
system
to
see
how
it's
worked
in
other
jurisdictions
if
it
hasn't.
If,
for
any
reason,
it's
not
applicable
to
our
circumstance
than
fine,
don't
go
down
that
road.
H
But
if
there's
something
there
I
think
we
should
pursue
it
because
speaker,
money
will
always
be
a
problem
and
if
you
could
address,
if
you
could
reduce
the
amount
of
money
it
takes
to
help,
people,
then
I
think
it's
an
obligation
on
our
part
to
do
that
so
speaker,
going
ahead.
I
would
also
hope
that,
however,
the
social
housing
is
organized
that
we
try
and
figure
out
how
we
measure
its
success.
Generally
speaking
for
most
of
its
its.
How
quickly
can
you
physically
repair
the
buildings?
Thank
you.
H
K
K
So
would
your
would
you
still
want
to
move
that
motion
if
you
knew
that
the
original
report
from
the
mayor's
task
force
suggested
looking
at
this
Toronto
city
staff,
together
with
social
planning,
Toronto,
did
some
research
and
how
to
forum
and
look
at
the
success
of
these
vouchers
or
rent
supplements
and
found
that
they
actually
created
more
problems
than
they
solve.
So,
given
that
that
research
has
been
done,
do
you
think
maybe
withdrawing
your
motion
might
be
in
order
of
speaker.
H
H
A
E
As
far
as
I'm
concerned,
you
know
having
those
homes
is
very
important
to
to
have
meaningful
inclusion,
that
the
scattered
nature
of
those
housing
units
is
important
to
have
an
inclusive
environment,
to
have
the
economic
disparities
and
not
become
barrier
to
accessing
services
and
so
on
and
so
I
think
it's
a
it's
an
important
feature
of
our
housing
and
I
hope.
Through
this
new
model,
we
can
continue
to
find
ways
to
strengthen
the
scattered
housing
or
single-family
homes,
rather
than
find
ways
to
eliminate
them.
E
So,
hopefully
that
is
the
direction
and
that's
why
I'm
supporting
this?
The
other
piece
is
that
we
we
have
to
look
at
madam
Speaker,
looking
at,
if
not
just
as
a
physical
space,
but
as
a
service
provision
and
that's
why
I'm
very
supportive
of
the
fact
that
we
have
decided
to
focus
on
a
target
population
age,
specific
population
seniors,
so
that
we
can
actually
start
to
address
the
the
very
unique
needs
of
this
growing
population
in
our
in
our
society,
particularly
people
of
Aetna
racial
backgrounds.
E
People
in
low-income
situations
from
Aetna
racial
backgrounds
need
linguistically
and
culturally
sensitive
service
delivery.
Nasi
Gnaeus
buildings
and
I
am
hoping
that
through
this
structure,
we
will
be
able
to
find
more
effective
ways
to
help
our
seniors
with
linguistically
and
culturally
sensitive
service
delivery,
which
is
not
where
it
should
be
at
at
the
moment
when
it
comes
to
our
housing
support
for
seniors,
so
I'm
supportive
of
those
those
move.
Those
moves,
those
motion,
those
initiatives
as
part
of
this
report,
but
I
do
want
to
reiterate
what
some
of
our
previous
speakers
have
said.
E
The
biggest
issue
is
the
money
and
the
funding
without
advocating
for
and
without
us
allocating
the
adequate
amount
of
funding.
We
would
only
be
taking
care
of
a
very
small
part
of
the
problem
in
terms
of
governance
and
service
delivery,
but
the
need
is
bigger
in
the
area
of
funding.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
O
I
believe
that
we
have
fumbled
around
with
with
the
with
housing
right
from
the
get-go.
We've
never
really
seemed
to
get
it
to
have
gotten
it
right.
You
know
we
inherited
a
number
of
company
the
province
downloaded
a
whole
bunch
of
housing
to
the
to
the
city.
Then
we
created
a
new
entity
that
trying
to
call
the
Toronto
Community
Housing.
O
Company
or
corporation
I
forgot
what
the
ceased
the
last
C
stands
for,
but
but
you
all
know
what
I
mean
and,
and
quite
frankly,
our
housing
has
just
gone
from
from
bad
to
worse
to
worse
to
worse,
and
now
we
are
on
the
verge
of
basically,
a
mothballing
are
a
great
many
units
in
very
short
order,
just
simply
because
we
don't
have
the
resources
or
the
capacity
to
fix
them.
We
got
it
wrong
when
we
first
got
the
housing,
we
had
no
clue,
no
clue
on
what
it
would
cost
to
maintain
and
sustain.
O
We
got
shortchanged
by
the
by
the
provincial
government
in
this
regard
and
I
really
need
to
I
and
and
I.
Don't
often
agree
here
with
my
good
friend
councillor
malady,
but
I
think
his
call
to
basically
say
to
the
to
the
province
look.
This
is
this.
Is
your
baby?
We
can't
manage
it,
we
can't
we
can't
I'd,
you
know
handle
it.
We
don't
have
the
resources
to
be
able
to
do
this,
and
it's
just
simply
only
going
to
get
worse.
O
I'm
gonna
support,
what's
in
front
of
us
today,
not
because
I
believe
we're
headed
in
a
different
direction
or
a
direction
where
we
make
our
housing
better.
I.
Don't
believe
that
that's
the
case
at
all
in
in
this
regard,
I'm
going
to
support
it
in
the
hope
speaker
that
at
least
some
of
the
housing
that
that
we
currently
have
out
there
that
we
may
be
able
to
find
a
way
to
to
better
manage
it
or
to
do
better
for
the
tenants
that
we
house
in
in
that
housing.
O
So
if
this
is
a
case
where
we
say
okay,
look
well,
let's
take
let's
take
seniors
and
let's
take
some
of
these
other
homes
and-
and
maybe
in
this
case
we
can
find
the
the
synergies
to
provide
a
better
product
or
a
better
form
of
housing
per
people.
Then
then
I'm
going
to
I'm
going
to
to
do
that,
but
I
believe
it's.
O
It's
we're
still
continuing
to
play
sort
of
a
shell
game
with
all
of
this
and
the
shell
game
is,
you
know,
sort
of
when
you
really
don't
have
the
means
to
deal
with
this
crisis
in
an
effective
way.
Then
just
find
a
way
to
sort
of
move
it
around.
You
know
create
a
new
entity.
That'll
take
some
time,
you
know
sort
of
move.
O
The
the
housing
over
you
know
find
some
new
governance
model
and
by
then
we're
like
four
or
five
years
down
the
road
and,
quite
frankly,
we
may
not
have
at
that
point
any
further
resources
or
our
abilities
to
improve
the
housing.
So
that's
part
of
the
risk.
I
guess
we
run
in
this
in
this
exercise
speaker,
but
but
speaker,
I,
I,
think
that
that
the
call
needs
to
be
to
the
provincial
government
to
basically
say
look
time
for
you
to
take
it
back.
You
know
this
is
a
catch-22.
O
We
say
to
people
we,
you
know
you
give
them
some
social
assistance
and
you
say
to
them.
Look
you
know
one
third
of
your
social
assistance
is
going
to
go
to
cover
housing
and
we
know
that
so
we
starved
the
system
on
both
ends.
We
starve
them
on
this
on
the
social
assistance
side
by
not
providing
people
with
the
help
that
they
need
in
order
to
to
get
by,
and
on
the
other
hand,
what
we
do
is
we
say
to
them.
O
Pay
you
know,
pay
pay
a
small
portion
of
that
that
an
easily
subsistence
that
we
give
to
you
for
housing
knowing
full
well
that
it
doesn't
cover
any
of
the
costs
that
it
would
need
to
maintain.
You
know
the
the
level
of
the
livability
and
in
housing,
it's
it's
really
a
it's
a
catch-22
and
we're
just
simply
going
to
continue
to
starve
the
system.
Thank.
A
G
Madam
Speaker
I
rise
to
ask
my
colleagues
to
support
the
recommendations
in
front
of
us.
I
do
believe
it's
a
good
first
step,
but
it's
just
that.
It's
a
good
first
step.
As
was
said
earlier
by
councillor
Layden,
we
have,
with
great
fanfare,
approved
strategies
to
deal
with
a
number
of
issues,
whether
it
be
poverty
reduction
and
a
number
of
other
priorities,
but
then,
of
course,
we
need
to
back
it
up
with
action.
We
need
to
back
it
up
with
funding.
G
We
need
to
be
very,
very
deliberate
when
we
were
asked
to
approve
funding
formulas
in
the
future.
We
need
to
make
sure
I'm
sorry
I
just
want
to
have
to
come
to.
My
colleagues
is
quite
that
just
fit.
We
need
to
be
very
deliberate
about
making
sure
that,
no
matter
what
we
support
today
that
then
we
back
it
up
with
action.
We
act,
we
back
it
up
with
funds
and
we
make
sure
that
the
housing
is
there
to
provide
for
those
who
are
waiting
for
it.
G
The
size
of
many
towns
in
Ontario
over
a
hundred
thousand
people
who
are
just
waiting
for
an
opportunity
for
housing
that
they
can
afford
and
a
large
number
of
those
people
are
seniors.
So
just
do
the
math,
if
you,
if
you
think
about
it,
if,
if
you
have
to
wait
eight
nine
ten
years
to
even
get
into
one
of
those
units
and
you're
somebody
in
their
70s
or
80s
or
90s,
the
reality
is,
you
may
not
live
long
enough
to
ever
get
a
home
that
you
can
afford
or
have
a
respectful
life
in.
G
They
just
think
about
think
about.
If
it
was
your
mom
or
dad
or
anyone,
you
loved
just
completely
unacceptable
that
a
society
like
ours
has
set
various
priorities,
but
we
allow
for
this
to
be
the
reality
we
have,
but
I
ask
us:
let
us
not
go
to
war
with
anyone
about
this
I
keep
hearing
that
we
need
to
get
into
fights
with
the
province
or
the
feds
or
others
about
this.
I
actually
think
that
gets
in
our
way.
G
I'll
give
you
an
example:
you
go
into
a
press
conference
and
you
and
you
beat
up
on
the
province
politically.
Why
would
they
then
immediately
want
to
make
an
announcement
offering
money
when
it
looks?
The
objects
are
like
they're
capitulating
to
our
demands
that
they
take
action
because
we
told
them
to
do
so.
We
need
to
get
back
to
the
table
and
have
a
dialogue
I
believe
there
are
people
with
the
province
and
we've
been
demonstrated
at
the
federal
government
level
who
actually
do
want
to
contribute
to
this
cause.
They
get
it.
G
We
need
to
find
ways
to
work
together
as
partners.
I
believe
that
supporting
seniors
housing
is
a
way
to
do
that.
I
believe
that
we
could
free
up
funding
in
that
arena
for
other
areas
of
our
social
housing
demands
if
we
work
with
the
province
through
that
Avenue,
but
we
need
to
get
back
to
the
table
and
work
as
partners.
G
It's
the
only
thing
to
do.
If
we
just
fight
over
this,
everyone
will,
when
it
will
end
up
with
nothing
and
far
too
many
people
are
waiting
for
us
to
take
action.
I
also
I
want
to
make
note
of
something
that
councillor
perk
said
that
this
is
inadequate.
I
would
actually
say
that
that
while
this
doesn't
go
as
far
as
I
think
anyone,
anyone
at
this
table
would
like
it
to
go.
A
lot
of
work
has
gone
into
this.
A
lot
of
very
difficult
work
has
gone
into
this
I
want
to
commend.
G
First
of
all,
the
leadership
of
councillor
by
Lao,
who,
from
day
one
we
were
elected,
the
group
of
us
I
think
we're
13
of
us
were
elected
at
the
same
time
and
Kesler
by
Lao
put
up
her
hand
to
address
what
some
people
describe
as
a
quagmire.
She
just
said:
I:
don't
care
I'm
gonna
work
on
this,
because
this
is
an
incredibly
important
priority,
along
with
Chris
brill
enger'
and
many
others
who
have
worked
so
hard
on
this
file
and
at
least
it's
moving
forward.
G
It's
not
moving
forward
as
quickly
as
I'd
like
it
to
it's,
not
as
well-funded
as
I'd
like
it
to
be.
There
are
far
too
many
people
waiting
to
get
into
the
housing
stock
that
well,
that
we
have
and
that
we
have
yet
to
have,
but
at
least
we're
moving
forward
with
some
action.
I'm
really
happy
and
really
pleased
to
see
that
happen.
G
I
would
also
like
to
commend
the
mayor
for
place,
and
this
is
a
priority
which
it
has
to
be
for
every
one
of
us,
but
the
number
one
thing
I
ask
us
all
to
do
over
the
next.
Coming
weeks
and
coming
months,
let's
get
back
to
the
table,
continue
working
with
our
federal
counterparts,
our
provincial
counterparts.
We
need
to
work
in
a
respectful,
positive
tone
to
be
able
to
get
the
funds
that
we
need
to
move
forward.
I
believe
that
we
can
get
there
if
we
just
emphasize
how
much
of
a
priority
this
is.
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker
I
will
make
a
couple
of
brief
comments.
First
of
all,
I
just
want
to
pick
up
like
some
of
the
comments
made
by
previous
speaker
and
say
to
you
that
I
think
it's
important
that
we
commend
the
leadership
of
the
mayor
on
this
particular
issue
of
housing.
Renewal
I
also
want
to
say
that
we
should
celebrate
the
fact
that
we've
made
huge
progress
over
the
last
couple
of
years
in
having
TCH
C,
actually
do
much
much
more
than
has
been
done
in
the
past
and
there
in
the
sense
of
spending.
C
You
know
10
times
as
much
money
had
been
spent
the
past
annually
to
do
capital
repairs.
This
is
a
problem.
That's
not
going
to
go
away
easily.
It
is
a
problem
that
can't
be
dealt
with
overnight,
simply
because
there
are
huge
demands
on
the
city
beyond
the
housing
needs
of
people
living
in
th,
see
a
TCH
see.
I
can
tell
you
that
in
my
area
there
is
a
lot
of
people,
not
only
the
waiting
list
being
in
the
neighborhood
of
100,000,
but
a
number
of
people
that
live
in
private
rental.
C
Housing
who
are
struggling
to
make
ends
meet
and
I
can
tell
you
that
private
landlords
are
not
rushing
to
make
huge
repairs
and
not
bother
escalating
the
rents
and
that's
the
kind
of
problem
we
have
a
TCH
see.
Yes,
we
have
to
do
all
the
capital
repairs
to
improve
the
quality
of
housing.
That's
not
to
say
it's,
not
it
shouldn't
be
done.
C
C
This
particular
problem
involves
a
journey
of
continually
trying
to
improve
by
making
sure
that
we
look
at
and
I
can
tell
you,
the
the
general
manager
that
we
have
in
place
right
now
is
very
aware
that
we
have
to
continue
to
look
at
better
ways
of
doing
the
things
that
we
are
currently
doing
as
being
the
first
step
in
trying
to
sort
of
find
savings.
That
I
mean
mr.
Marshman
here
find
savings
that
can
be
redeployed
as
a
mechanism
to
improving
the
housing.
C
That
is
the
fundamental
first
step
and
so
I
commend
the
board
as
well
in
the
kind
of
work
that
they've
done.
The
TCH
see
board
includes
councillor
cressie
and
obviously,
in
a
bylaw
who's
been
a
huge
member
of
the
board
and
providing
leadership.
So
I,
just
I,
just
reiterate
and
say:
look,
let's
celebrate
all
the
good
things
we've
done
to
this
point
and
let's
not
harp
on
all
the
deficiencies
that
we
have
in
meeting
some
of
our
other
needs
across
the
city
because
they
exist
and
they
will
continue
to
exist.
C
And
yes,
we
will
continue
to
plug
away
at
the
other
levels
of
government
to
give
us
financial
assistance,
and
so
we
should,
but
other
levels
of
government
also
have
you
know
they?
They
don't
have
big
wallets
with
lots
of
money
and
they
have
their
own
problems
to
deal
with.
So
in
the
overall
context.
A
Now
ciabatta,
thank
you,
madam
Speaker
I'd
like
to
start
by
thanking
the
staff
both
at
TC
HC
and
our
city
staff.
Who've
done
an
incredible
amount
of
work,
with
very
little
resources
to
start
putting
together
this
strategy.
So
thank
you
for
for
all
your
work.
The
second
group
of
people
that
I'd
like
to
thank
is
the
tenants.
We
had
a
very,
very
active
tenants,
advisory
group,
a
lot
of
tenants
participation
that
that
had
hundreds,
literally
hundreds
of
shooting
up,
do
you
have
a
motion.
A
Oh
sorry,
I
do
I
have
a
friendly
amendment
to
councillor
Roger
Mary's
motion,
so
I
placed
that
and
will
continue.
My
speaking
so
I'd
like
to
thank
all
the
tenants
involved
for
joining
us
yet
again
to
address
this
issue
and
thank
you
for
your
confidence
and
participation
and
cooperation
and
and
continue
to
work
with
us
back
in
2012.
We
and
I
say
we,
because
the
majority
of
us
were
here
were
presented
with
the
huge
backlog
problem
that
TC
HC
had
and
part
of.
A
The
solution
was
to
have
a
massive
sale
of
the
scattered
homes
to
bring
what
I
believe
was
to
be
about
200
million
dollars
to
this
issue.
Well,
we
put
another
proposal
at
the
table
and
to
this
date
we
have
been
able
to
increase
the
capital
from
a
sixty
million
dollar
a
year,
spend
to
what
is
today
three
hundred
million
dollars
and
by
the
end
of
this
year,
almost
a
billion
dollars
spent
in
capital
repairs.
We're
not
done
yet,
but
we've
certainly
acknowledged.
A
The
issue
that
we
have
is
that
we
have
at
TC
HC
as
a
capital,
backlog
and
and
we're
we're
heading
in
in
a
way
to
address
the
issue
and
continue
to
appeal
to
our
provincial
and
federal
counterparts.
Mayor
Toria
comes
in
and
puts
together
the
task
force,
and
actually
the
task
force
tells
us
wait
a
minute.
You
don't
have
only
a
capital
backlog.
You
actually
have
an
operational
issue
in
this
corporation
because
you
can
take
all
the
money
and
do
all
the
repair
backlogs.
A
If
you
don't
fix
this
corporation,
you're
gonna
be
an
exact
same
position
a
few
years
from
now,
and
that's
how
this
started
all
happening
and
we're
starting
to
address.
Also
the
financial
issue,
because
I
feel
very
proud
to
say
that,
even
without
this
report
in
front
of
us
last
budget,
we
did
increase
the
TCH
C's
budget
by
18
percent.
It
was
an
acknowledgment
of
what
the
task
force
was
telling
us.
It
is
an
acknowledgment
of
work
that
has
to
be
done.
It
is
an
acknowledgement
by
this
council
meeting
that
is
committed
to
address
this
issue.
A
The
other
point
that
we
know
why
we
now
have
an
issue
is
our
revitalizations
and
that's.
Why
also
last
budget
we
committed
to
106
million
dollars
to
region.
Park
region
part
was
short,
106
million
dollars.
We
financed
that
we've
committed
to
106
million
dollars.
More
is
going
to
be
needed,
but
we
know
we
have
an
issue
in
that
area
as
well,
and
this
council
has
committed
for
that.
And
then
we
have
the
governance
issue
because
there's
the
money
issue,
but
sometimes
you
need
a
bit
more
than
money.
You
need
good
governance.
A
A
Okay,
continue
sorry,
so
we
do
have
the
capital
issue.
We
do
have
the
operational
issue.
We
need
to
have
the
rivet
revitalization,
but
we
also
need
to
address
how
we
serve
our
tenants,
and
that
is
a
big
part
of
what
this
report
is
all
about.
Through
the
decentralisation
model.
We
know
that
we
can
do
better.
We
know
that
we
can
have
a
better
environment
for
our
frontline
staff
and
for
our
tenants.
A
We
know
that
we
can
get
more
accountable
and
we
know
we
can
get
closer
to
our
tenants
through
our
scattered
homes
and
and
and
having
this
ROI.
We
know
we
can
work
better
with
a
sector
we
can
actually
we
can
and
should
have
tcht
as
a
way
to
strengthen
our
nonprofit
housing
sector
and
I.
Think
this
can
play
a
role
in
here
and
through
the
seniors.
We
have
a
great
synergy
ready
to
happen.
We,
the
provincial
government.
We
know
this
is
the
fastest
growing
population.
A
We
know
we
need
a
new
model
to
have
seniors
properly,
and
this
is
a
great
model
for
it.
So
I
think
what
we
have
in
front
of
us
like
I,
saying
it's
not
only
a
strategy
for
capital
and
operating
funding.
It
calls
for
that.
It
alerts
us
that
we're
gonna
need
more
money.
It
alerts
us
that
the
senior
corporation
and
the
risk
that
they
did
what
is
left
as
the
CCHD
will
need
more
money
and
through
the
appropriate
budget
process
we
will
need
to
have
that
money
invested.
A
I
think
we
gave
indication
that
we're
ready
to
help
to
do
that.
Investment
and
I
certainly
hope
that
when
we
have
budget
coming
through,
we
continue
to
fulfill
that
goal
and
we
continue
to
fund
this
corporation
the
way
that
it
needs
to
be
funded.
But
we
also
need
the
strategy,
the
vision
and
the
attitude.
We
need
a
change
of
attitude
to
and
from
our
staff
to
and
from
our
tenants
to
and
from
this
council,
and
that's
where
this
is
about
to
start.
A
This
is
where
we're
hoping
that
we,
starting
here
with
this
with
this
strategy
and
this
vision
I,
think
we
took
the
first
step
on
the
budget.
We'll
continue
to
do
that.
Work
and
I
hope
that
the
council
continues.
The
first
step
that
is
started
last,
but
any
which
is
to
invest
in
this
corporation
and
in
our
tenants
that
we
serve.
Thank
you.
P
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker,
and
I
want
to
begin
by
just
echoing
the
words
that
others
have
spoken
to
thanks
to
the
tche
staff
city
staff,
the
task
force,
volunteers
and,
as
councillor
Barlow
just
said,
the
tenants,
and
in
particular,
since
she
couldn't
thank
herself
I,
want
to
echo
the
words
of
councillor
Matt,
Lowe
and
thanking
councilor
viola,
because
she's
taking
great
leadership
on
this.
It
is
a
priority
for
me.
P
I
think
it's
a
priority
for
us,
but
somebody
has
to
you
know,
work
at
this,
basically
as
almost
a
full-time
assignment,
and
she
has
certainly
stepped
up
and
done
that
I.
Look
madam
Speaker
at
the
TCH,
see
status
quo
kind
of
like
King,
Street,
I,
think
there's
universal
agreement,
even
in
here.
Even
the
comments
that
have
been
made,
I'm
going
to
take
issue
with
a
couple
of
them,
but
I
think
everybody
agrees.
The
present
model
is
not
working.
P
P
Think
we
all
acknowledge
are
some
of
the
most
vulnerable
people
that
are
resident
in
the
city
and
I'm
pleased
that
what
is
before
us
today
is
the
result
of
one
of
the
broadest
and
deepest
consultations
that
was
ever
undertaken
in
the
city
on
this
subject,
or
perhaps
any
other
and
one
of
the
main
themes,
not
the
only
one
that
arose
out
of
that
was
that
TCH
C
is
too
big.
It's
too
remote
from
the
people
that
it
serves.
P
It's
the
mayor's
task
force
that
led
to
all
this
I'm
not
going
to
stand
up
here
and
say
this
represents
a
solution
or
the
solution.
It
represents
an
important
first
step
on
the
way
to
restructuring
this
corporation,
changing
its
attitude
and
approach
and
a
logical
area
to
start
inside
of
that
broader
objective,
obviously
I
think
is
with
seniors
and
I.
Think
that
is
not
just
because
there
are
so
many
buildings
that
are
seniors
buildings
and
not
just
because
of
the
history
which
said
at
once.
P
P
Given
that
acknowledged
at
least
the
beginnings
of
saying
we're
gonna
have
to
come
up
and
come
to
grips
with
that
was
in
2017
under
this
mayor,
not
Mary
Miller,
who
I
I've
heard
you
referred
to
before,
as
almost
the
idol
of
a
progressive
thinking
and
all
this
kind
of
thing
under
you
know
just
like
by
the
way
I'll
say
later
on
under
the
same
Mary
Miller.
When
you
remember
the
budget
committee
I,
don't
there
was
no
task
force
on
housing
and
tcac,
and
there
also
was
no
transform
tío
plan.
P
Interestingly
enough
port
for
the
big
pardon
well,
never
mind
we'll
debate
this
later,
but
the
bottom
bottom
line
is
madam
Speaker.
I'm,
sorry
I'm,
addressing
him
and
I
should
be
addressing
you
is
that
that
I
I,
that
this
is
we're
taking
this
step
forward,
and
it
is
being
done
in
this
term
in
office
by
this
administration,
including
an
18%
increase
this
year
in
the
allocation
to
TCH,
see
substantial
capital
commitments
referred
to
by
councilor
by
law
and
I.
Make
no
apologies.
Is
it
enough,
of
course
not?
P
Can
we
do
it
all
in
one
day,
of
course,
not
everybody
knows
that,
and
so
we'll
we'll
move
forward
and
do
what
we
can
and
the
second
thing
I
want
to
just
address
in
my
final
few
seconds
is
what
counts
there.
Matt
Lowe
said
about
dealing
with
the
problems.
We
tried
the
private
route
we
tried
sitting
at
the
table
and
in
fact
that
didn't
get
us
anywhere
and
I
know.
P
You've
been
part
of
some
very
constructive
discussions
that
maybe
can
get
us
back
there,
but
the
bottom
line
remains
this:
they
have
an
unfulfilled
obligation
to
this
city
and
to
these
very
vulnerable
people
to
step
up
and
start
helping
us
with
these
plans
and
as
yet
they
haven't
and
I
look
forward
to
any
suggestions.
He
might
have
through
you,
madam
speaker,
to
help
us
in
getting
them
back
to
the
table
and
getting
them
talking
with
us
about
fulfilling
that
obligation
that
I
believe
they
have
in
spades
and
that
but
I
think
for
today.
P
J
A
M
G
O
L
K
D
O
M
A
A
B
L
A
L
You,
madam
Speaker,
so
Who
am
I
asking
the
questions
to
all
right
there.
You
are
all
right.
You
have
stated
that
all
the
business
cases
must
be
funded
in
order
to
reach
our
2050
targets
and
there's
some
business
cases
that
are
noted
as
enablers
enablers,
which
includes
through
two
reports
or
studies
and
community
engagement
funding.
So
I'd
like
you
to
explain
to
me
how
community
engagement,
which
seems
to
be
a
significant
amount
of
the
resources,
will
be
measured
in
terms
of
GHG
reductions
and
also
is
there
a
larger
strategy
we
think
within
community
engagement.
D
Three,
madam
Speaker,
so
the
community
engagement
component
is
a
very
you
know.
It's
important
part
of
the
project
in
the
sense
that
the
the
intent
is
to
engage
people
in
accessing
the
existing
programming,
that's
available
from
the
city
from
the
province
in
the
federal
government,
so
that
they
can
also
then
implement
the
actions
that
they
need
to
take
to
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
So
the
intent
is
to
bring
people
into
the
table.
L
C
D
We
have
to
developed
a
detailed
business
cases
as
part
of
the
budget
process
and
you
know
go
through
the
due
diligence
but
as
it's
currently
envisioned.
The
majority
of
the
funding
is
for
staffing
and
or
external
consulting
dollars
and.
C
D
J
D
J
J
D
So
that
the
short-term
strategies,
as
discussed
in
report
number
one
that
counsels
already
seen
there
were
a
number
of
factors
there
was
the
input
from
the
community.
So,
as
you
know,
we
had
very
extensive
community
engagement
over
the
last
two
years
and
over
2,000
people,
plus
our
modeling
Advisory
Committee,
which
is
an
intersect.
A
multi
sectoral
advisory
group
made
up
of
leaders
from
different
sectors
in
the
community.
D
There
was
input
from
our
modeling
and
modelling
consultant
and
then,
of
course,
there
was
input
from
staff,
because
the
majority
of,
in
fact,
almost
all
the
actions
that
are
proposed
in
report
number
one,
are
existing
programs
and
initiatives
and
what
we're
looking
to
do
is
accelerate
and
ramp
up
or
scale
up
those
programming.
So
we're
relied
heavily
up
on
the
stuff
that
are
delivering
those
programs
today
as
to
what
they
felt
was
achievable
and
over
the
next
three
years.
So.
J
C
D
As
we
don't
feel
it's
a
comprehensive
package
of
initiatives
that
need
to
be
carried
forward
as
a
whole,
but
you
know
bringing
forward
that
information
as
to
you
know,
cost
per
ton
reduction
is
something
that
we
can
incorporate
into
the
business
cases
as
part
of
the
due
diligence
under
the
budget
process.
As.
D
J
K
You
mr.
Becker
hang
on
when
we
started
this
debate
last
time,
I
asked
mr.
Baxter
a
couple.
Questions
just
want
to
confirm
those,
so
you
can
vez
Torontonians
and
experts
from
around
the
world
from
different
sectors
and
came
up
with
a
list
of
possible
actions.
Then
you
modeled
them
together
to
come
up
with
a
group
of
actions
that
work
together.
Is
that
roughly
how
this
happened?
Yes,
it
is
okay
and
many
of
the
different
actions,
the
ones
that
councilor
McMahon
was
talking
about,
actually
are
interrelated.
K
So,
for
example,
there's
an
action
about
transforming
the
vehicle
fleet
off
of
fossil
and
onto
electricity,
but
it
depends
on
an
action
which
is
reducing
electricity
consumption
elsewhere.
Otherwise
we
would
overload
our
electricity
grid.
Is
that
correct?
That
is
correct.
The
model
is
an
integrated
model.
The
models
are
integrated
and
a
part
of
that
integration
is
having
the
community
animators
or
outreach
workers.
I
forget
what
you
call
recruiters
to
bring
people
into
the
program
so
that
we
achieve
high
participation
rates.
That
is
correct.
K
D
No
you're
correct,
and
that
was
one
of
the
conclusions
that
the
consultant
definitely
rate
identified
for
us
is
that
the
actions
are
really
depend
upon
one
another,
and
you
know
if
you
hive
off
one
action,
you
may
have
to
then
accelerate
our
activity
in
another
area
to
to
achieve
that
greenhouse
gas
reduction.
So.
K
Actually,
if
we
hive
off
certain
ones
of
these
actions,
we're
gonna
have
to
spend
even
larger
amounts
trying
to
push
against
the
problems
of
achieving
the
targets
in
the
in
the
remaining
actions.
That's
one
possibility,
yes,
yeah
and
but
the
consultant
D,
who
I
believe
is
someone
who
does
this
all
over
North
America?
Their
advice
to
you
was
treat
this
as
an
integrated
package,
or
it
won't
achieve
the
goal
you're
setting
out
to
achieve
that.
D
K
D
K
Doing
some
of
what's
proposed
here
this
year
and
then
some
in
five
and
some
in
ten
doesn't
yield
the
same
result
as
beginning
them
all
now,
that
is
correct.
There's
also
I
believe
a
body
of
economic
literature
around
climate
change
that
says
that
the
cost
of
inaction
to
a
local
economy
is
greater
than
the
cost
of
action.
Is
that
correct
or
to
the
global
economy?
Excuse
me
to
the
global
economy.
Yes,
yes,
why
did
we
choose
the
goal
ATO
by
50.
D
K
In
summary,
economic
best
thinking
around
the
world
is
act
now,
or
it
will
cost
you
more
act
or
because
inaction
will
cost
you
more
a
world
leading
consultant
who
helped
you
to
develop.
This
says
that
these
this
is
an
integrated
package
and
you
should
move
forward
an
integrated
way
if
you
want
to
achieve
the
goals
that
that's
a
fair
summary
of
what
you're
telling
us
we
should
do.
It
is.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
I
I
D
I
D
That
at
the
total
capital
cost,
as
I
mentioned,
that's
a
community-wide
capital
investment.
It's
not
necessarily
a
direct
cost
to
the
city.
As
a
corporation,
the
you
know,
the
direct
cost
of
the
city
would
be
things
like
to
direct
return.
Energy
retrofitting
of
city-owned
buildings,
but
the
other
thing
that
we
did
identify
is
that
this
kind
of
investment
saves
money.
I
I
connect
nice,
which
I'm
not
getting
my
answer
and
I'm
I
know
that
I'm
not
gonna
get
my
answer
on
this,
so
can
I
switch
to
another
line
of
questioning.
Please.
I
D
I
I
D
I
You
modeled
how
much
electricity
prices
will
will
have
to
rise
when
we
go
to
non
greenhouse
gases.
So
what
that
means
is
we'll
all
have
electric
cars
so
we'll
have
to
well
and
that
that
will
be
a
mass
when
everyone's
using
these
electric
cars
and
there's
this
huge
pressure
on
the
grid,
it's
gonna
cost
billions
of
dollars
to
do
that.
Upgrade
and
hydro
costs
will
go
up
quite
substantially.
Have
you
modeled
how
much
gas
prices
apart?
How
much
electricity
prices
will
go
up
so.
D
D
I
L
C
Gonna
follow
up
on
councillor
or
deputy
mayor
a
minute
along
this
line
of
questioning.
Did
you
say
that
50%
of
GHGs
are
as
a
result
of
our
from
buildings,
pollutants
from
buildings?
That
is
correct
and
one
third
is
from
transportation,
so
trucks,
cars,
buses
and
so
on?
Yes,
so
in
the
is
it
and
it
is
it
safe
to
say
to
conclude
that
the
report
is
almost
in
its
an
entirety
in
terms
of
the
strategy
focused
on
buildings,.
D
Sorry,
no
in
terms
of
the
short
term
strategies.
Yes,
there
is
a
heavy
emphasis
on
buildings
and
the
initial
strategies
that
were
proposed
in
report
number
one,
but
that
is
also
a
reflection
that
this
council
has
already
put
a
lot
of
emphasis
and
focus
on
increasing
public
transit,
increasing
bike
lanes,
etc.
So
we're
so.
C
D
C
That
that
decision,
very
clearly
by
our
environment,
loving
premier
and
I'm,
but
but
but
but
government
government's,
come
and
go
correct,
and
this
is
a
visionary
plan.
That's
to
go
on
for
decades.
So,
given
that
it
shouldn't
this
council
be
making
a
statement
and
that
we
we
have
an
ongoing
support
of
something
that
will
reduce
car
use
in
Toronto.
I
D
C
D
In
terms
of
the
short-term
strategies,
I
mean
it
was
proposed
and,
as
already
discussed
it
would
that
the
provincial
decision
sort
of
causes
to
remove
it
from
a
short-term.
But
in
terms
of
the
long
term,
the
report
number
two
in
the
modelling.
Yes,
we
definitely
integrated
road
tolling
or
congestion
pricing
as
something
that
we
should
be
considering
in
the
longer
term.
So,
but
there
isn't
a
specific
recommendation
do
that
at
this
time.
No.
D
C
A
S
You
very
much
madam
Speaker
and
I
will
give
advanced
warning
to
our
mayor.
That
I
will
have
a
question
for
him
later
on
in
my
line
of
questioning,
but
first
to
mr.
Becker
hang
just
just
so
we
can
be
clear
what
the
2018
cost
implications
are
for
this
report
or
these
recommendations.
What
I?
What
was
it
so.
D
S
D
The
intent
as
I
mentioned
is
for
to
use
this
money
to
put
in
places
resources
to,
as
you
say,
leverage
existing
RS
to
build
upon
existing
programming
and
through
that
leverage
funding
that
could
be
available
from
the
province
in
federal,
but
also
private
investment,
because
you
know
to
achieve
the
80
percent
goal.
We
require
all
of
us
as
a
community
to
make
investments
the
the
total
capital
investment
that
we've
identified
in
report
number
one
was
three
hundred
million
to
almost
nine
hundred
million.
S
S
D
S
Four
years
I'm
on
the
community
engagement,
this
is
about
magnifying
our
impact
of
some
of
these
programs
correct.
We
use
community
engagement
like
our
animators,
that
we've
used
in
the
past
to
magnify
uptake
of
programs.
That
is
correct,
so
the
value
is
rather
than
spending
money
and
advertising
dollars
or
having
a
television
ad
campaign.
We
have
people
that
are
knowledgeable
about
subjects
that
actually
go
out
there
and
and
get
people
involved
from
different
different
areas
of
the
city
as
well
as
different
communities
within
the
city.
Is
that
safe
to
say
that
is.
S
S
I
S
You
very
much
mr.
mayor
for
making
this
one
of
your
key
items
and
my
questions
are
around
your
trip
to
Paris.
Sorry,
we
were
trip
to
Paris.
Oh
yes,
no,
the
the
the
meetings
that
took
place
you
referenced
in
the
media,
and
this
was
in
2015
if
I
remember
correctly,
and
you
joined
with
a
chorus
of
mayors
and
I,
think
you
brought
what
I
was
feeling
to
to
Paris
and
I.
Thank
you
for
that.
The
commitments
that
were
made
there
were
for
a
to
maintain
ourselves
within
a
two
percent
or
a
two
degree
threshold.
S
P
Madam
Speaker
I've
made
it
very
clear,
I
think
publicly
on
many
occasions
that
I
intend
to
support
this
report,
but
I
also
will
be
supporting
a
motion
that
will
simply
say
within
the
context
of
what
I
understand
is
an
integrated
set
of
recommendations
and
all
the
answers
you've
been
given
and
others
in
the
last
few
minutes.
That
I
think
it
is
very
fair.
In
fact,
not
only
is
it
fair,
I
think
it
is
necessary
and
it
is
our
responsibility
to
ask
within
that
set
of
recommendations.
P
What
results
are
achieved
by
you
know
which
of
these
programs
over
what
period
of
time
and
at
what
cost
I
mean.
This
to
me
is
elementary
that
you
would
do
this,
because
even
on
your
questions
in
the
last
few
minutes,
I
say
to
the
councilor
through
you,
madam
Speaker.
A
job
is
not
a
job,
is
not
a
job
I'll,
be
prepared
to
say
hallelujah
to
all
kinds
of
jobs
that
are
created
in
the
private
I'll
call
it
in
the
in
the
community.
P
You
know
supplying
things
and
building
things
and
changing
and
energy
retrofitting
buildings,
but
have
you
said
to
me
that
I'm
interested
in
am
I
filling
up
the
City
Hall
with
people
that
are
reporting
to
each
other?
Not
so
interested
I
mean
I
realize
we'll
need
some
of
those.
So
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
get
a
sense
of
here
is
what
do
each
of
these
initiatives
produce
and
when
and
at
what
cost
and
to
me
that
is
a
responsible
thing
that
any
public
representative
like
us
would
do
that.
L
Could
look
at
thanks?
My
question
is
kind
of
visual,
so
I'm
hoping
that
I'm
not
taking
AV
staff
by
surprise
I'm
wondering
if
staff
could
tell
me
this.
This
was
set
in
the
presentation,
and
this
is
the
emissions
we
hope
to
achieve,
starting
in
2016
and
moving
down
to
2050.
Is
it
safe
to
say
starting
with
2016
17
18
the
expenditure
of
six
million?
Then
it
also
roughly
mirrors
investments,
whether
city
investment
here
and
over
time.
The
development
of
partnerships
and
other
governments
that
this
graph
roughly
also
mirrors
the
the
investment,
engagement
and
expenditure.
L
Right
so
here,
where
we're
starting,
where
we
see
this
tiny
little
spot,
we're
starting
on
some
of
the
lines
and
we're
starting
small.
But
is
it
safe
to
say
that
if
we
don't
start
here
and
start
to
do
that,
work
and
develop
the
engagement
partnership,
etc
that
we
don't
actually
get
here
in
the
end
that.
L
Are
that
can
we
say
that
these
are
these?
Are
accurate,
these
color
bands,
for
instance
right
across
the
top?
Those
are
that's
driverless
vehicles,
so
it's
it's
not
starting
for
a
few
years,
because
we
don't
expect
to
see
those
popping
up
on
the
road
driverless
vehicles.
We
don't
expect
to
have
the
the
hydro
infrastructure
to
suddenly
see
electric
cars
everywhere,
and
so
we
see
those
starting
a
little
later
on.
We
see
some
of
the
others
starting
immediately.
F
Thank
you
very
much
speaker
much
of
the
questions
that
I
had
about
the
economic
impact
and
jobs
and
so
on
have
been
asked,
but
I
wanted
to
understand.
I
heard
through
the
questions
that
councillor
Campbell
had
asked.
He
asked
about
road
tolls
through
you
to
staff
speaker
I'm
wondering
what
other
types
of
demand
management
consideration
has
been
made
by
staff
in
order
to
address
this
extremely
important
issue.
D
So
I
can
speak,
I
guess
to
what
was
incorporated
into
the
models,
so
congestion,
pricing
or
rotos
was
one
element.
We
also
looked
at
things
like
car
free
zones
as
part
of
the
modeling.
The
thing
I'd
like
to
mention
is,
you
know
we're
when
we
did
this
modeling
weird,
the
model
should
not
be
seen
as
a
forecast,
but
rather
is
one
scenario,
one
potential
future.
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
identify
potential
things
that
could
be
done.
F
That's
helpful,
I've
got
you
so
when
I
hear
about
things
like
autonomous
vehicles
and
battery
operated
vehicles
and
so
on,
and
if
you
are
saying
to
us
a
big
part
of
this
I
guess
what
I've
heard
in
terms
of
questioning
was
the
emissions
from
buildings
emissions
from
vehicles?
First
of
all,
can
you
tell
me
sort
of?
Is
there
a
split?
Is
it
a
50/50
emission
that
you
sort
of
monitor
from
buildings?
Is
it
similar
from
vehicles
or
is
there
one
that's
more
than
the
other?
Firstly,
sorry
in.
F
D
F
So,
in
your
34
year
horizon
plan,
how
then
and
I
realize
you
said
that
there's
a
number
of
things
that
you
factor
in
this
whole
concept
of
autonomous
driving
of
vehicles
and
so
on?
How
do
you?
How
does
that
factor
in?
Because
I
would
assume
that,
instead
of
having
in
in
conceptually
10
cars
traveling
in
an
area,
you
could
probably
have
two
or
three
because
you
drop
a
passenger
off
you
pick
up
another
and
so
on
so
forth
down
the
line,
and
these
are,
let's
assume
them
to
be
battery
operated
vehicles.
D
So
so
we've
so
the
expenditures
are
referring
to
are
within
the
short-term
strategies
and
there's
nothing
in
there
right
now
to
talk
about
autonomous
vehicles.
We
did,
as
part
of
the
short-term
strategies,
identify
the
need
for
some
funding
to
help
explore
further
the
impact
of
electric
vehicles,
which
would
incorporate
the
discussion
so.
F
A
F
Right
so
help
me
to
understand,
then
the
long-term
vision
and
I
know
that
councillor
Layton
has
asked
us
about
jobs,
some
how
many
jobs
for
exam
we
realize
or
how
many
jobs
would
be
lost
in
terms
of
the
transitional
changes
that
would
take
place
over
this
particular
period
of
time.
Have
you
done
that
modeling
at
this
point,
so.
D
A
Q
Q
D
Q
D
So
we
did
a
number
of
different
things:
there
was
the
city
sponsored
community
events
and
one
in
each
community
council
district.
We
had
a
number
of
community
partners,
along
with
local
councillors,
organized
their
own.
It's
within
the
ward
I
believe
there
were
seven
or
eight
of
those.
We
had
a
variety
of
workshops.
We
also
allowed
people
to
provide
input
through
the
website
through
survey
work.
It
was
very
extensive.
Q
Q
Q
Q
D
You
know
that
just
because
we
reduced
greenhouse
Commission's
directly
in
Toronto
doesn't
necessarily
mean
we'll
avoid
because,
as
you
well
know,
it's
a
global,
a
global
thing
and
therefore
we
need
to
ensure
that
we're
all
Toronto's
making
his
contribution
towards
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
So.
Q
D
T
Wanna
camp:
yes,
thank
you
very
much
man,
speaker
through
you
to
staff
regarding
the
technical
modeling
that
was
done
to
arrive
at
your
your
conclusions
or
including
the
36
actions.
With
respect
to
that
particular
component
of
the
the
of
the
report.
Can
you
just?
Can
you
explain
to
us
out
of
those
36
actions
that,
if
any,
if
even
if
a
modest
number
of
them
we're
sort
of
pulled
off
due
to
financial
constraints,
can
we
come
close
to
meeting
the
80%
GHG
reductions
so.
D
The
model
is
an
integrated
model
and
all
the
actions
within
the
model
are
reliant
upon
one
another
to
a
large
degree,
and
you
know
the
impact
would
depend,
of
course
on
which
actions
or
strategies
council
decides
not
to
follow.
Follow
through
on.
Would
it
would
have
an
impact
on
our
ability
to
achieve
the
80
percent
call
so.
D
I
think
that
was
that's
been
part
of
the
modeling
is
that
you
know
the
notion
of
identifying
things
that
have
the
longest
they're
gonna
be
around
the
longest.
You
know
get
those
right
is
sort
of
a
part
of
the
modeling
and
then
looking
at
co-benefits.
Where
is
the
greatest
opportunity
for
Co
benefit
from
the
action
and
then
the
other
components
built
into
it
is
the
notion
of
you
know
the
the
impact
associated
with
the
call
or
the
investment
made
in
reducing
greenhouse
gas,
but
I
don't
know
if
you
can
actually
necessarily
divide
those
things.
D
The
other
thing
I'd
like
to
mention
again
is
it's
a
scenario
that
we've
presented.
It's
not
a
forecast,
and
you
know
there
are
different
options
in
different
ways.
That
would
require
a
little
bit
more
research
to
sort
of
identify.
What
might
be
the
direct
impact?
Do
X
instead
of
Y
or
do
more
of
Y,
less
and
less
of
X
and.
D
T
It
is
entirely
possible
that
should
council
adopt
this
or
with
the
thirty-six
recommendations
and
actions,
earmark
an
intention
to
fund
and
to
move
ahead,
that
there
can
be
savings
in
the
future,
with
the
advent
of
new
technologies
that
perhaps
could
build
in
greater
efficiency
and
resiliency
at
the
same
time.
Is
that
correct?
That's.
T
Can
happen
in
34
years,
your
report
also
focuses
a
quite
a
bit
on
on
social
equity
and
about
protecting
vulnerable
and
marginalized
populations
about
creating
good
jobs,
green
jobs.
Can
you
unpack
that
for
us
why?
Why
is
climate
change
in
building
a
resiliency
around
that
so
connected
to
social
equity.
D
So
one
of
the
key
things
that
the
council
gave
us
a
direction
will
be
set
up.
The
initiative
is
that
we
needed
to
identify
what
would
be
potential
gold
benefits
and
Co
harms
of
any
low-carbon
action,
because
the
intent
being
is,
we
want
to
be
able
to
identify
those
that
would
create
the
greatest
goal
benefit
and
if
there
is
a
harm
from
a
proposed
option,
we
identify
ways
to
mitigate
that
or
reduce
it,
and
you
know
so.
Equity
issues
would
be
things
like
access
to
transportation.
T
D
A
D
So
it's
a
I
would
argue,
it's
a
reputational
and
an
economic
impact
in
the
sense
that
a
lot
of
the
actions
that
have
been
proposed
and
we're
modeled
as
part
of
the
strategy
or
the
modeling
exercise
have
a
positive
return
on
investment,
in
a
sense
that
two-thirds
of
them
will
pay
for
themselves
over
the
long
term
and
that
you
know,
puts
more
money
in
people's
pockets.
Should
we
say:
okay,.
D
The
City
of
Toronto
is
already
part
of
the
the
c40
cities
network,
which
is
it's
actually
a
coalition
of
just
over
80
cities.
Now
around
the
world
that
are
engaged
in
addressing
climate
change
and
then
we're
also
a
member
of
what's
called
the
carbon
neutral
cities
alliance,
which
is
20
cities
internationally,
that
are
have
been
deemed
leading
edge
in
terms
of
trying
to
address
climate
change
so
and
then
the
Federation
of
Canadian
disabilities
has
the
partners
for
climate
protection
which
we're
also
part
of
yep.
So.
D
C
D
G
C
D
B
D
M
D
M
We
take
that
okay
I
understand.
Thank
you
very
much
so
when
we're
going
to
two
different
streams
here,
we're
dealing
with
buildings,
28%,
residential
and
28%
I,
see
I
I'm
sure
that
we
have
a
strategy
for
both
of
each
of
those
types
of
buildings,
very
different,
isn't
it
between
a
residential
neighbourhood
or
partner
neighbourhoods,
Elmo?
What
we
might
be
looking
at
for
hospitals
and
employment
areas,
office
buildings.
D
D
D
M
M
In
order
to
meet
them
you're
suggesting
that
we
should
take
the
entire
budget
that
you're
putting
forward,
we
shouldn't
knit
somebody
I,
think
counselor,
just
I
call
it
henpeck
or
peck
away
through
them
and
pull
pieces
out
and
do
this
little
bit,
but
not
that,
in
your
opinion,
it's
an
integrated.
Now
they
are
asked
questions
so
there's.
F
Thank
you
very
much
for
this
very
comprehensive
report.
The
piece
that
I'm
interested
in
is
based
on
frankly,
the
tremendous
public,
enthusiasm
and
energy
that
I
think
Torontonians
bring
to
bear
on
this
issue.
They
want
to
do
something,
and
so
I'm
wondering
how
this
report
relates
to
say
all
those
folks
who
want
to
renovate
their
house
and
put
in
the
extra
insulation
how
this
relates
to
all
those
folks
who
are
interested
in
perhaps
buying
solar
energy
installations.
F
D
Counselor
we
already
haven't
placed
the
the
home
energy
loan
program,
which
provides
financial
assistance
towards
deep
retrofit
energy,
retrofits
and
single-family
homes.
And
yes,
the
additional
funding
that
we're
requesting
is
to
help
accelerate
that
program
and
bring
more
people
into
the
to
to
to
implement
the
kind
of
is
the
kind
of
retrofits
that
we're
seeing,
which
is
about
a
three-ton
on
average
per
person
reduction.
So.
F
All
those
folks
that
want
to
kind
of
do
something
we
it
would.
It
is
open
to
us
counselors
once
these
folks
are
hired
to
work
with
those
enablers
or
facilitators
and
say:
okay,
folks,
let's
do
a
community
by
of
a
whole
bunch
of
solar
energy
installations
or
let's
look
at
a
geothermal
installation
that
might
help
this
particular
new
building.
That's
going
up
and
and
so
on.
So
it's
that's
the
entry
point
as
those.
What
are
you
calling
it?
A
leverage,
flip
green
Toronto,
yep.
F
D
A
possibility
the
the
province
actually
has
done
something
recently,
that
is,
they
have
mandated
all
large
buildings.
50,000
square
feet
are
larger
to
disclose
publicly
their
energy
and
water
consumption
so
that
the
information
is
now
available
to
all
all
people,
so
I
can
see
it
as
eventually
coming
that
something
along
what
you're
suggesting.
Yes
thank.
A
J
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
Speaker.
So
I
have
a
couple
motions,
so
the
first
one
is
to
look
at
prioritizing
and
our
23
business
cases,
and
this
is
part
of
asking
for
more
detailed
information
to
help
educate
people
when
it
comes
time.
A
few
months
from
now
when
we
debate
this
item
at
Budget
Committee,
and
we
want
to
fund
this
this
great
initiative,
and
so
that's
the
first
one
we're
also
we
can't
sorry,
we
can't
do
it
alone.
We
need
to
involve
the
other
governments.
Of
course
we
know
the
next
one
is
oops.
J
Inventory
and
quantify
everything
we
are
already
doing
what
and
report
back
to
parks
and
environment.
So
those
are
the
emotions
and
hope
you
will
support
those.
So
we
know
climate
change
is
the
single
biggest
crises
of
our
lifetime
and
it's
time
for
Toronto
to
step
up
and
to
lead
and
I
think
we
are
starting
to
lead
more.
We
are
now
part
of
the
Rockefeller
Foundation's
100
resilient
cities.
We
have
hired
a
chief
resiliency
officer
who
is
in
the
seats
right
now.
Can
you
stand
up
mr.
J
If
you
haven't
met
him,
feel
free
to
book
a
meeting
and
get
to
know
him
and
and
see
his
actions
for
helping
us
lead
with
transform
tío.
We
need
all
departments
to
work
together.
We
know
in
in
battling
climate
change,
it
can't
be
just
one:
it
can't
be
just
the
Energy
and
Environment
Department.
It
needs
to
be
China
water,
it
needs
to
be
planning
needs
to
be
Public
Health.
Everyone
together,
everyone
on
board,
which
is
what
this
fantastic
initiative
does
and
I
have
to
thank
staff.
For
that.
J
You
have
to
thank
all
our
champions
here
today.
Our
environmental
groups
are
residents
of
Toronto
all
the
petitions,
letters
and
the
years
of
coming
down
to
depute
to
support
this.
We
we
committed
to
the
Paris
agreement
and
that's
not
just
words,
that's
going
to
be
actions,
and
the
thing
I
like
about
this
report
is
it's
not
just
tangible
items
which
many
people
like
people
like
to
see
things
like
that
with
building
efficiencies,
building,
retrofits,
electric
vehicle,
enabling
us
to
mobilize
for
electric
vehicles
and
creating
jobs
and
whatnot.
J
But
it's
also
the
community
engagement,
which
we
know.
We
cannot
come
in
top-down
all
the
time
and
dictate
what
you
should
be
doing.
You
should
not
be
drinking
bottled
water.
We
need
to
hear
from
well
you
shouldn't,
but
we
need
to
hear
from
the
community
and
have
the
grassroots
ideas
coming
forward.
Otherwise,
they're
not
going
to
be
sustainable
unless
we
have
a
community
on
board.
So
that's
what
I,
like
the
other
part
I
like
about
transform
tío
is-
is
that
homegrown
solutions
and
I
think
this
is
a
win-win
for
all
we're.
J
Looking
at
the
economy
we're
looking
at
job
creation,
we're
looking
at
public
health,
but
greenhouse
gas
reduction,
healthier
living,
oh
and
council
juice,
that's
gonna
put
some
reminders
on
the
screen
for
you
who,
if
anyone
is
having
difficulties
with
supporting,
transform,
teal
we'll
just
do
some
little
reminders,
while
I'm
speaking
as
to
the
cost
of
inaction,
so
put
them
on
any
time.
Counselor
do
set.
So
it's
a
win-win
for
all
public
health,
environment
economy,
quality
of
life,
sustainability,
the
whole
gamut
I.
J
Don't
think
you
have
another
report
in
the
city
that
touches
on
all
aspects
of
our
lives
like
this.
So
let's
have
a
unanimous
vote
on
this.
Let's
ensure
the
fireworks
down
south
of
the
border
tonight
are
to
celebrate
this
unanimous
vote
of
transform
tío
at
City
Hall
in
Toronto.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
K
You
speaker,
councillor,
I,
think
your
motions,
B
and
C
are
great
I,
think
they
reinforce
what's
in
there,
but
could
I
see
motion
a
again.
Please
thank.
K
Did
you
hear
the
answers
from
staff
where
they
said
the
different
elements
of
the
program
work
together
so
having
animators
getting
people
to
become
more
electrical
efficient
in
their
homes
allows
the
grid
to
provide
more
electricity
for
electric
vehicles?
You
understood
that
part
absolutely
so
how?
How
would
you
allocate
the
ghgs
of
the
staff
who
are
getting
the
people
to
do
the
things
so
the
other
elements
of
the
program
work?
Would
they
get
a
hundred
percent
of
them,
50
percent
of
them
20
percent
of
them?
How
do
you
want
that
represented?
Well.
J
K
J
I
think
it's
primarily
for
education,
councillor
perks,
because
we
have
some
members
of
council
who
are
not
as
and
passionate
about
the
environment
as
you
and
I
are,
and
so
we
want
to
educate
them
come
budget
time.
We
also
have
my
the
outside
sector,
private
sector,
Toronto
Board
of
Trade,
who
are
looking
for
more
information,
I.
Think
it's
a
great
selling
feature
for
us
to
be
able
to
show
them
the
facts.
So.
K
Like
I
I
would
agree
with
that
too,
that
it's
important
to
educate
people,
don't
you
think
it
would
be
better
to
educate
people,
though
in
what
the
staff
actually
did,
which
is,
as
they
said
in
answers
to
many
questions
that
different
pieces
work
together,
you
can't
pull
them
apart
and
still
achieve
the
same
goal.
So
would
that
be,
in
your
view,
would
that
be
educated
to
give
them
misleading
information
by
pulling
the
pieces
apart?
That's.
L
The
question
that
I
have
kept
through
you,
madam
Speaker
councilor
perks,
was
asking
about
the
various
components
of
the
2018
strategies
and
expenditures
how
they
work
together,
but
Eve.
My
question
is:
even
within
each
singular
one.
Does
your
motion
it's
off
the
board
now,
but
in
motion?
Eight?
Are
you
talking
about
per
dollar
spent
in
2018
in
relation
to
the
emissions
at
the
end
of
2050
or
in
2018
I'm,
not
clear
how
they
measure
well.
L
J
L
L
Your
question:
well,
the
better
building
partnership.
I
think
you
get
about
the
same
reductions,
but
it's
1.8
now,
but
in
fact
the
percentage
of
emissions
created
by
buildings
is
is
over
53%.
So
do
you
want
them
to
factor
that
in
the
source
of
emissions
percentage,
plus
the
rejection
of
each
action
and.
J
M
Fletcher,
thank
you.
I've
just
been
asking
staff
and
they
are
very
clear
that
they
want
to
do
business
case
for
each
one
of
the
activities
they
want
to
do.
As
you
said,
councillor
be
able
to
show
the
Board
of
Trade
and
all
the
other
agencies
and
organizations
that
are
critical
to
achieving
the
greenhouse
gas
reductions
to
show
them
why
each
of
them
is
important.
So
I
understand
that
is
that
your
motivation
for
business
case.
M
The
only
bit
went
down,
sorry
is
that
notion
of
the
prioritizing
once
the
business
cases
are
there.
Is
there
I
guess?
Are
they
all
going
to
be
equal
because
the
staff
have
put
forward
a
business
case
to
each
of
them,
or
some
of
them
may
jump
to
the
head
of
the
lit
a
head
of
the
line
and
others
to
follow
later?
Well.
J
J
M
B
B
Don't
I
don't
understand
the
intent
speaker
I'm
really
trying
to
understand,
because
if
the
intent
is
to
rank
these
so
that
if
there
is
some
push
to
eliminate
some
of
them,
that
there
will
be
a
ready
menu
to
do
that
so
I'm
trying
to
understand
the
account.
Is
it
where
it
makes
some
things
more
vulnerable
than
others.
J
The
I'm
not
sure
if
you
read
the
Toronto
Board
of
regional
or
trade
letter,
but
they
definitely
representing
the
business
community,
have
some
questions
as
to
other
other
people.
As
to
some
of
your
colleagues
who
are
not
a
hundred
percent
enamored
with
transform
tío,
unfortunately
so
I'm
just
trying
to
get
more
information
out
there,
for
which
I
don't
think
anyone
has
a
problem
with
it
should
have
a
problem
with
so
that
we
can
I
mean
I,
don't
know
why
the
battle
is
here.
The
battle
is
gonna,
be
at
the
budget
committee.
R
R
C
B
I
wish,
excuse
me
speaker,
I'm
speaking
to
you
and
he's
interrupting
I
know
it
councillor
David.
So
I
would
just
like
to
say
on
the
record
that
at
no
point
did
I
question
counselor
McMahon's
commitment.
What
I
questioned
was
something
completely
different,
which
was
the
motivation
of
other
members
around
this
table
and
I
hope.
He
withdraws
that
comment
about
our
motivation
in
asking
questions
of
councillor
McMahon.
Thank
you.
R
R
A
A
R
R
Do
you
think
your
emotions
really
ask
us
or
ask
staff
to
make
sure
that,
as
these
draft
recommendations
that
we're
hopefully
going
to
adopt
strongly
today
that
they
actually
give
us
a
list,
I
think
you
used
the
word
ranking,
which
maybe
has
people
concerned
and
frightened
that
there's
some
nefarious
intent
to
your
motion?
But
there
is
no
nefarious
intent
to
your
motion.
It
is
just
that
you
want
a
list
of
the
recommendations
and
their
greenhouse
gas
emission
reductions.
Correct.
Yes,
and
will
you
is
it
your
expectation
once
the
the
motion?
R
A
L
Figure,
the
the
point
of
personal
privilege
that
that
this
was
personalized
and
that
names
were
used
in
the
beginning
is
really
is
really
not
addressed
as
yet,
and
that's
why
we
have
unrest
in
the
chamber.
We
are
responding
because
it
was
earlier
flag
for
us
that
a
motion
would
be
moved
later
by
councillor
McMahon
and
that
44
people
was
too
many.
A
R
You,
madam
Speaker,
so
is
it
your
opinion
that,
if
we're
able
to
quantify
this
that
we'll
actually
get
more
buy-in
from
the
NGO
sector
from
the
private
sector
and
from
all
of
the
partners
that
we
need?
So
is
the
intent
of
your
emotion
to
make
this
report
stronger
and
get
more
buy-in
from
the
entire
spectrum
of
stakeholders.
Yes,.
A
S
J
Well,
I
would
say
that
the
what
I'm
hearing
from
the
business
community
is
that
parts
of
the
and
actually
transform
tío
staff
know
this
Toronto
atmospheric
fund
and
city
staff
have
been
talking
and
meeting
with
people
in
the
business
sector,
including
the
Toronto
region,
Board
of
Trade,
to
clarify
what
transform
tío
is
about
and
to
get
them
on
board
because
really
guys.
This
is
something
we
all
need
to
be
on
board
with
to
to
help
build
a
resilient
City
and
to
gear
Toronto
up
to
be
climate
change,
sustainable
and
and
be
able
to
battle.
J
S
And
I
agree
with
you
wholeheartedly
that
this
needs
to
be
an
exercise
in
bringing
people
in
and
in
fact
a
lot
of
the
money
that's
being
earmarked
here
would
do
just
that,
but
as
part
of
the
to
end
councillor
debayer
maker
I'm,
about
to
answer
the
question
that
you
asked
me
specifically
10
seconds
ago
as
part
of
the
2017
budget
process,
attachment
a
provided
by
staff
was
I
quote:
transform
teo
short-term
strategies,
business
cases
it
was
provided
as
part
of
the
2017
budget
process.
I'm
wondering
are
we
going
to
redo
these?
S
S
S
A
O
A
I'm
gonna
try
to
clarify
so
councillor
McMahon,
there's
a
budget
allocation
for
the
initiatives
for
next
year
of
six
point:
seven
million
dollars.
Does
your
motion
intend
in
any
way
to
reduce
that?
No,
it
does
not.
Does
your
motion
in
any
way
intend
to
change
the
targeted
objectives
of
this
plan
or
timing?
Are
you?
Are
you
gonna
be
okay
if
it's
gonna
take
longer
to
get
to
the
goals
that
we're
trying
to
get
my.
J
A
L
Counselor
Kent
Speaker
I'm,
sorry
that
the
mover
is
so
sensitive
about
this,
but
I
have
a
point
of
personal
privilege,
because
just
now
she
actually
just
saw
my
lips
move.
I
actually
didn't
even
say
it
out
loud,
and
so
this
has
now
become
very
personal.
I'm.
Sorry
that
the
mover
is
having
trouble
with
being
questioned
on
her
motion,
but
the
personalization
master.
A
A
Howser
Karen
look
so
you're
talking
about
not
being
personal.
You
were
just
personal
now
to
counsel
McMann.
So
please,
yes,
yeah
counselor,
counselor
Carol
enough
counselor
by
law.
You
do
still
have
questions.
Yes,
okay,
so
you're
not
wanting
to
change
the
amount
you're
not
wanting
to
change
the
time,
you're,
not
wanting
to
change
the
goals,
and
you
believe
this
needs
to
be
an
integrated
approach.
Yes,
you
want
deeper
business
cases.
Yes,.
B
G
G
Some
members
have
said
today
that
what
their
concerns
are
is
that
this
will
provide
an
opportunity
to
start
kind
of
you
know
slicing
up,
even
if
it's
not
your
intent
but
sort
of
give
some
members
the
opportunity
during
the
budget
process
just
say:
okay
here
the
priorities
that
I
want
and
then
are
not
going
to
support
the
funding
of
the
others,
and
then
things
will
go
sideways
and
things.
You
know
it's
not
it's
not
the
first
time
that
kind
of
thing
has
happened
at
City
Hall.
G
My
question
to
you
is
given
that
your
intent
is,
is,
is
nothing
like
that?
Would
you
be
willing
to
perhaps
work
with
with
staff
on
on
just
changing
the
wording
in
a
way
that
continues
to
fulfil
your
intent,
while
perhaps
mitigating
the
very
genuine
concerns
that
some
members
have
expressed?
And
that
way
your
motion
could
go
forward
without
without
the
the
controversy
that's
just
been.
You
know,
we've
seen
demonstrators
I.
J
Appreciate
your
suggestions:
counselor
Matt,
Lowe
I
am
I,
consider
myself
quite
the
bridge
builder
and
working
with
every
one
of
them
since
2010
pretty
much
everyone
in
this
room
all
the
time.
That's
who
I
am
and
so
I've
worked
with
staff
on
this
I've
talked
to
counselors
about
this.
It
is
nothing
as
counselor,
because
there's
nothing
nefarious.
People
need
to
have
faith
in
me
as
the
chair
of
parks
and
Environment
Committee
and
support.
Okay.
Thank.
J
A
G
Like
them
to,
if
I
may
I,
don't
know
I'll
just
I'll
just
this
will
be
my
final.
You,
my
concern
is
that
this
will,
if
it,
if
it
fails,
you
won't
you
won't.
You
won't
see
its
fruition,
your
intent,
if
it,
if
it
wins
there
will
be
a
lingering
question
by
some
about
about
its
intent
and
and
its
impact
I
believe
that
staff,
if
they
work
with
you
on
the
wording
and
you
can
take
you-
know,
faith
in
what
I'm
saying
or
not,
but
it
but
I
believe.
G

J
J
A
N
J
J
A
You
thank
you,
you
I'm
not
cutting
you
off
council
member
I'm.
Just
trying
to
you
know
clarification
of
the
motion.
Council
EDG.
No
clarification
of
the
motion.
Please.
C
C
And
as
a
member
of
the
budget
committee,
will
this
motion
in
very
clear
terms
provide
me
with
more
information
to
understand
if
there's
any
of
these
priorities
that
are
going
to
be
able
to
either
cost
share
or
work
with
other
governments
to
make
it
an
even
stronger
effort
by
getting
together
with
them?
Will
this
bring
more
information
so
that
we
can
decide
that?
C
J
I'd
like
to
educate
all
the
counselors,
but
especially
the
budget
committee
members,
because
they're
you're
making
the
decision
initially
and
then
we
do
at
council,
but
it's
gonna
be
a
lot
more
than
six
point:
seven
million
dollars
overall
for
this
whole
plan.
So
we
need
to
have
hard
core
facts
in
order
to
get
private
sector
funding
in
order
to
get
funding
from
the
other
levels
of
government.
So.
C
S
S
At
least
myself
and
I
know
I've
expressed
this
to
you
publicly,
so
I'm
a
little
surprised
that
you'd
say:
I
had
a
bad
sleep
this
weekend,
but
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
faith
in
Council
actually
following
through
with
plans
that
we
announce
we're
really
great,
really
great,
at
announcing
that
we're
going
to
do
stuff
where
we
have
these.
We
have
these
lists.
We
have
these
plans.
S
I
talked
about
this
earlier
today,
but
we're
really
really
that
we
have
press
conference
after
press
conference,
but
we're
really
really
bad
at
the
implementation
stage,
actually
doing
what
we
say:
we're
gonna
do
and
the
problem
here
is
last
year.
When
this
came
forward
in
the
budget
process,
we
got
a
prioritized
list.
We
got
the
business
cases,
I
shared
them
with
councilor
to
bear
maker
my
copy.
We
got
that
and
we
funded
it
a
meager
couple
hundred
thousand
dollars.
S
A
couple
of
hundred
thousand
dollars
we
put
to
this
I
was
proud
of
our
I
was
proud
to
be
a
Torontonian
when
our
mayor
went
to
Paris
and
stood
up
on
our
behalf
and
made
a
commitment
with
the
rest
of
the
world,
with
cities
and
mayor's
around
the
world
to
fight
climate
change
and
limit
the
limit.
The
increase
in
temperature
to
below
two
degrees,
Celsius
and
I,
don't
want
to
get
too
technical.
But
if
we're
going
to
achieve
that,
we're
gonna
do
everything
in
this
report
and
more
everything
in
this
report
more.
S
It
will
we're
either
doing
it
today
through
my
motion
or
we're
gonna.
Have
this
exact
same
question
when
it
comes
to
the
budget
process,
but
don't
kid
yourself
this
argument
that
we
need
more
information
or
that
the
Board
of
Trade
should
be
dictating
our
policy
left
right
and
center
is
not
the
information.
We
need
to
know
that
we
need
to
do
all
the
things
in
this
report
now,
let's
I'm
gonna,
very
I'm
gonna
go
back
and
that
started
beginning
where
I
wanted
to
talk
about
cost
its
6.7
million
people
are
trying
to
say
it's.
S
A
billion
people
are
trying
to
say
it's
billions.
It's
not
it's.
6.7
million,
where
we
get
to
a
billion.
Is
the
money
leverages
the
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
we
get
from
private
investment
as
a
result
that
benefits
that
in
the
end
in
energy
savings,
but
through
that
through
our
investment
we
create,
we
heard
it
three
hundred
and
twenty
seven
thousand
job
years.
Three
hundred
and
twenty
seven
thousand
jobs
created,
most
of
which,
because
it's
energy
conservation
and
demand
management
is
within
the
GTA,
we'll
be
champions
of
the
climate
and
of
the
economy.
S
We
can
do
that
and
what's
the
price
tag,
six
point:
seven
million
dollars
this
year.
It
goes
up
a
little
bit
but
this
year
and
that
reinvested,
but
it
leverages
hundreds
of
millions.
It
saves
us
money
and
we
see
that
in
the
business
cases
that
have
been
laid
out
on
the
lower
scale
and
the
higher
higher
end
of
the
scenario,
we
see
that
just
just
on
one
last
point,
because
this
question
about
the
community
engagement,
this
is
going
to
be
key.
S
Getting
out
there
and
gaining
the
trust
of
our
communities
is
key,
and
we
do
that
with
having
neighbors
talking
to
neighbors,
with
people
going
through
their
own
apartment
building
and
going
through
their
community.
We
all
know
this
because
we
campaign
and
we
fit-
we
figured
this
out
years
ago,
get
someone
in
a
building
or
in
a
neighborhood.
Have
them
canvass
their
neighbors,
saying
you're,
a
good
guy
and
and
or
woman
and
they'll
go
out
and
vote
for
you
that
that's
what
we're
trying
to
do
with
this?
S
It's
a
validation
for
the
programs
that
we're
providing
and
without
it
we
won't
get
the
uptake
necessary
to
achieve
our
goals.
So,
mr.
mayor,
on
behalf
of
my
constituents,
please
go
out
and
continue
work
on
the
international
scale
with
scale
restoring
our
leadership
on
climate,
but
do
us
once
more
and
either
today,
I'd
prefer.
Today
or
during
the
budget
process,
let's
support
the
ranked
the
the
what
is
currently
has
been
ranked
by
staff
and
business
cases
are
provided
and,
let's
all
move
together,
move
together
together.
I
Q
We
go.
It's
live,
it's
wonderful,
I'm
good!
Thank
you.
I
seem
to
spend
more
my
day
up
here.
So
I
want
to
start
by
thanking
the
Environment
and
Energy
division.
What
is
now
the
atmospheric
fund
and
all
the
staff
who
have
put
debt
and
dedicated
hours
and
hours
of
work
to
not
putting
one
report
together,
but
two
reports
and
those
reports
would
not
have
happened
without
residents
and
I
know.
There's
many
of
joining
us
today
and
I
can't
turn
manner.
Thank
you
personally,
but
I
do.
Thank
you
with
my
back
I
apologize.
Q
Thank
you
for
coming
out
to
all
our
consultation
meetings.
Thank
you
for
getting
engaged,
not
just
with
this
report,
but
for
probably
as
long
as
we've
been
standing
on
this
planet,
if
it
wasn't
for
you,
we'd,
probably
be
in
a
far
worse
state
than
we
are
right
now
in
Toronto.
So
we
heard
a
few
things
today
and
one
thing
I
do
want
to
show
I'm
going
to
be
using
that
overhead
again,
I'm
afraid
this
is
where
we're
going.
This
is
what
my
question
was
about.
Q
It's
not
that
we
are
saying
hey
things
are
going
to
change
they're
changing
now,
just
as
an
example,
so
everyone's
understands
that
one
just
as
an
example.
This
is
one
of
my
pathways
along
the
Humber
River.
This
was
about
a
month
ago,
when
I
tried
to
take
a
walk
along
there.
We
can't
walk
there,
because
the
Humber
River
was
overflowing
even
worse.
Q
Anyone
who's
been
down
to
the
Sunnyside
area.
We
used
to
have
a
break
wall
there,
the
break
wall
here
so
most
days.
The
only
reason
you
know
there's
a
break
wall
is
because
the
birds
are
sitting
on
it.
That
break
wall
is
there
to
protect
us
our
beaches,
to
stop
and
to
protect
our
trees,
which
right
now,
a
lot
of
our
trees.
Don't
even
have
any
soil
around
their
roots,
because
the
water
has
washed
them
away
now.
I
know
this
isn't
only
about
climate
change.
Q
I
do
appreciate
that,
but
we've
transformed
tío,
you
heard
the
53%
of
the
emissions
are
in
buildings.
So
if
we
start
by
working
on
our
building
infrastructure
through
loans
to
residents
for
the
help
program,
which
is
a
brilliant
program
through
other
means,
we
will
start
the
stage
of
going
in
the
right
direction.
Q
If
we
don't
implement
these
36
recommendations,
we
won't
even
reach
our
30%
by
2020,
let
alone
the
80%
by
2050
as
councillor
Carol
showed
you
the
angles,
the
the
lines
we
have
to
start
now
to
reach
our
goal
and
that
goal
of
80%
is
going
to
be
quite
difficult.
So
we
have
to
do
all
these
little
pieces.
I
say
it's
like
a
jigsaw
puzzle,
yep,
I,
love,
doing
jigsaw
puzzles.
If
you
put
all
you
jigsaw,
puzzles
together,
you
reach
a
goal.
You
reach
an
event
end
result.
Q
So
as
I
say,
climate
change
isn't
something
of
the
future.
It's
not
something!
We
read
in
a
book
and
saying
in
a
one-day
climate
change.
What
happen
it's
happening
now
as
councillor
McMahon
showed
photographs
of
the
ice
storm.
Okay,
that's
another
part
of
it
as
well.
We
need
to
act
now.
These
are
two
amazing
reports
and
I.
Don't
want
to
be
sitting
in
this
council
chamber
and
just
saying
to
residents
great
reports.
We
put
them
on
a
shelf
there.
Q
Gathering
dust,
we
are
council,
as
you've
also
heard
from
other
councils,
are
very
good
of
approving
reports,
but
we
don't
usually
approve
the
funding
which
goes
with
it.
If
we
don't
approve
this
funding
residents,
our
grandchildren,
our
children,
10
20
years
from
now,
are
going
to
say.
Why
didn't
that
council
do
it?
Then
they
started
in
2007.
They
got
some
really
good
marks.
They
actually
had
better
improvements
by
2012
and
they
expected
that's
a
great
start,
but
we've
got
to
keep
this
moving
forward.
Q
If
we
don't
it's
not
just
that,
it's
not
Joanne
toe,
it's
not
just
the
GTA
we're
doing
a
disservice
for
anyone
who
comes
into
our
neighborhood
in
the
next
30
40
50
years
so
I
know,
we've
got
support
from
residents.
Believe
me,
my
phone's
been
vibrating
from
Twitter
from
Facebook
from
emails
in
my
office.
We
support
implementing
these
two
reports
with
a
hundred
percent
funding.
I
do
have
a
few
concerns
about
the
wording
of
councillor
McMahon's
motion.
I,
don't
want
us
to
say,
okay
items
one
through
ten
can
get
done
now.
Q
We
can
wait
a
couple
of
years
to
do
11,
whatever
we
need
to
look
at
the
funding
to
do
them
all
and
staff
will
let
us
know
in
which
part
which
order
they
should
be
rolled
out
in
and
once
you
do
one
you
need
to
do
the
next.
As
councillor
also
said,
you
can't
suddenly
tell
everyone.
We've
got
to
drive
electric
cars
because
we
haven't
implemented
that,
but
that's
part
of
the
equation
so
I
hope
every
counts
or
support
these
reports.
I
hope
you'll
come
back
to
budget
and
support
the
full
budget.
I
I
had
asked
and
questions
how
much
this
was
going
to
cost
and-
and
he
said
to
me-
oh
I
have
a
motion
for
me:
City
Council,
approved
long
term
goal
and
by
adding
one
of
these
ideas
that
we
that
we
do
this,
considering
protecting
the
taxpayer
from
significant
increases
in
taxes
and
user
fees,
and
this
is
in
recommendation
number
three,
where
they
have
all
these
wonderful
things
that
they'd
like
to
consider
in
advancing
these
goals
and
I
just
thought
we'd
think
about
the
taxpayer
for
once
so,
I
wanted
to
thank
our
CFO,
because
I
was
looking
for
this
numbers.
I
It's
pretty
simple
and
I
said
and
I
after
he
told
me
I
said
I
wish
this
was
you
know
that
in
the
financial
implications,
the
first
number,
so
he
says
the
cost,
for
this
is
sixty
billion
dollars
and
and
the
city's
cost
is
probably
ten
percent
of
that,
and
so
thank
you
very
much
for
the
clarity
of
that
answer.
So
we
know
what
the
number
in
general
is
going
to
be
some
sort
of
number
about
how
much
is
is
gonna
cost
is
really
important.
You
might
not
like
to
hear
it
we're
entitled
to
that
number.
I
Thank
you
very
much.
I
will
say
about
I
will
say
this.
I
I
can
support
this
report.
From
my
support
for
my
discussions
with
staff
who
say
this
is
an
aspirational
report.
It's
very
much
like
this
idea
that,
back
in
2000,
we
adopted
a
waste
strategy
to
go
to
zero
zero
waste
by
2010.
So
it's
aspirational,
but
you
know
it
in
terms
of
the
the
costs
associated.
What
we
actually
have
to
do,
we're
not
actually
committing
to
this
and
I
I
I
do
have
some
concern
with
the
short-term
costs
and
hiring
forty
four
people.
I
That's
if
you
filled
this
room
with
people
these
rows.
That
would
be
the
number
of
people
we're
going
to
hire.
I
have
some
concern
of
concerns
about
that.
I
So
I
will
say
that
you
know,
as
I
said
I've
concerned
about
the
costs.
I
actually
think
you
know
that
that
I,
you
know
what
I
detect
in
the
room
is
that
the
city
has
to
solve
all
these
problems,
and
you
know,
from
my
point
of
view,
I
think
the
city
won't
solve
these
problems.
I
think
people
will
solve
these
problems
and
I
think
business
will
solve
these
problems
and
innovators
will
solve
these
problems.
I
You
know-
and
it's
not
us
who
are
going
to
who
we're
going
to
solve
these
problems
in
the
example
that
I
will
use
and
where
we're
going
to.
You
know
really
address
things
like
climate
change
and
saving
energy
is
where
ideas
and
value
meet
meet
efficiencies
and
by
that
I
will
just
use
one
example
where
I
think
we
were
able
to
save.
Well,
not
we,
the
public,
the
private
sector,
was
able
to
find
these
savings
apartment
metering.
I
A
B
I
Okay,
I'll
give
you
an
example.
So,
let's
oh
we're
trying
to
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
for
residents
across
the
City
of
Toronto
and
one
of
the
things
that
the
burning
of
fuels
like
CNG,
natural
gas,
that
creates
greenhouse
gases.
And
so
there
was
an
initiative
as
an
example
that
that
I
think
the
provincial
got.
It
was
suggested
that
the
provincial
government
might
at
some
point
in
time
in
the
future
order
all
homeowners
to
say
that
you
can't
use
natural
gas
anymore,
that
you
have
to.
I
I
I
Though
I
do
not
want
to
see
the
future
decisions
that
are
being
made
that
are
going
to
be
excessively
expensive
to
the
taxpayers,
we're
making
a
lot
we're
making
decisions
here.
So
a
lot
of
these
a
lot
of
these
decisions
are
going
to
increase
the
amount
of
electricity
that
we're
going
to
use
as
a
city.
That's
gonna,
that's
going
to
require
huge
infrastructure
to
be
built
and
that
those
monies
are
going
to
have
to
be
recovered
somewhere,
so
our
electricity
costs
are
going
to
be
going
up
even
higher
and
within
that
contest,
I'm.
I
N
So,
on
the
lines
of
the
deputy
mayor
I
to
take
the
same
position
that
he
does
I
I
personally,
don't
like
the
fact
that
another
report
speaks
about
another
44
new
employees
and
granted
it's
for
a
short
period
of
time
for
the
three
years
as
temporary
employees.
But
you
know
as
well
as
I
do
what
will
happen
in
three
years.
Those
three
and
those
44
employees
after
three
years
will
become
full-time
civil
servants
with
all
of
the
bells
and
whistles
that
are
associated
to
that.
N
That's
exactly
what's
going
to
happen,
and
those
are
the
costs
that
I
think
the
deputy
mayor
was
speaking
about
and
and
I
certainly
would
agree
with
and
and
I
can
only
speak
to
what
I
see
it
at
at
Queen's
Park.
Madam
madam
Speaker,
I
I
saw
changes
over
the
years
at
Queen's,
Park
that
a
that
have
amounted
to
so
so
many
people
being
upset
right
now
and
there's
nothing
that
they
can
do
about
it.
A
N
Know
that
some
people
don't
necessarily
want
to
listen
to
the
other
side
of
the
equation,
but
we
have
to
listen
to
it
every
time
we
go
speak
to
constituents,
and
these
are
words
that
come
out
of
our
constituents.
Mouths
I
know
that
a
lot
of
people
don't
want
to
hear
it
from
us,
but
that's
the
reality.
They
don't
want
us
to
keep
doing
these
kinds
of
ventures.
They
don't
want
us
to
key
doing
it
and
there's
one
argument
that
I
want
to
bring
forward
to
it's,
not
about
opinions.
N
I
think
we
all
kind
of
are
are
concerned
about,
what's
going
on
with
our
environment
and
with
and
and
and
and
I'd
be
the
first
one
to
say
that
everybody
should
have
an
opinion
on
that,
but
the
at
the
other
end
of
the
equation,
we're
still
at
eight
cents
on
the
dollar.
Folks.
This
is
a
provincial
or
a
federal
matter
that
should
be
dealt
with
at
a
federal
level
and
the
funds
and
everything
associated
to
this
report
and
any
other
report
should
come
from
that
level.
N
We
should
be
fixing
the
roads,
making
sure
that
the
parks
are
the
grasses
cut,
make
sure
our
playgrounds
are
safe,
make
sure
our
community
centers
are
our
second
to
none.
Go
back
to
the
basics
as
a
municipality.
We're
trying
to
take
on
way
too
much
without
any
money,
and
in
this
case
we
want
to
hire
another
forty
four
people
and,
at
the
same
time
the
same
day
that
we
want
to
hire
another
forty
four
people.
All
we
hear
is
that
we
don't
have
enough
money
for
affordable
housing.
N
We've
got
to
get
our
priorities
straight,
I,
think
in
this,
in
this
chamber
and
and
and
at
City
Hall,
we
got
to
figure
out
what
it
is
that
our
constituents
actually
want
us
to
do.
We're
trying
to
do
way
too
much
with
no
money
with
no
money
at
all
and
we've
forgotten
about
what
municipalities
were
supposed
to
be
about
to
begin
with.
N
It's
the
basics
you're
trying
to
be
MPPs
and
MPs
in
this
chamber
and
you're,
not
your
counselors
for
crying
out
loud
and
you
should
be
dealing
with
with
all
of
the
the
weeds
that
are
out
there
in
the
dirt
and
the
filth
on
our
roads
and
and
our
you
know.
We
plant
we
plant
thousands
of
trees
in
our
street
and
we
can't
even
go
and
cut
the
sucker
growth
out
of
them
and
and
they
look,
they
look
horrible
in
a
horrible
state.
N
Those
are
the
things
that
we
should
be
doing
doesn't
mean
you
do
shouldn't
have
an
opinion.
We
all
have
the
opinion
and
we
all
agree
I.
Think
in
that
opinion,
but
the
fiscal
reality
is
the
fiscal
reality
and
we
don't
have
the
money
to
be
able
to
keep
doing
these
things
every
time
we
turn
around
this
chamber,
we're
hiring
another
44
or
50
people
and.
N
So
the
mayor-
and
you
know,
councillor
McMahon
once
once-
wants
us
to
come
up
with
business
plans
and
wants
us
to
make
sure
that
that
every
one
of
them
is
okay
and
what
happens
we
stand
up.
We
get
all
emotional
and
and
to
a
point
where
your
your
work,
we're
cutting
down
each
other.
Why
I
asked
that
question?
N
B
Mary
Thank
You
speaker,
climate
change,
general
pollution
of
our
air
and
water
extinction
of
species,
the
ability
to
breathe
our
air
and
drink
lake
from
Lake
Ontario,
the
devolution
of
our
forests
and
harm
to
our
watersheds.
These
are
all
issues
that
form
the
very
fundamental
priorities
before
us
today.
B
Everything
else
that's
on
our
plate,
be
it
the
hard
services,
the
hard
core
services
or
the
soft
services,
as
we
call
them,
take
a
back
seat
to
this,
because
if
we
don't
take
care
of
humanity,
nothing
else
matters.
Everything
else
is
window
dressing.
Every
financial
contribution
that
we
can
make
towards
their
survival
is
money
well
spent.
It's
not
just
well
spent
it's
vital
already.
It
is
too
late
for
us
to
make
changes
to
the
destruction
of
our
planet
before
the
year
2050,
it's
already
too
late.
We
cannot
do
anything
to
change
the
course
before
2050.
B
B
There
are
unscrupulous
people
all
over
the
GTA
who
try
to
build
on
those
watersheds
and
one
day
who
knows
governments
may
allow
it
they've
already
allowed
for
too
much
too
soon.
Within
30
years
we
will
have
a
food
crisis
within
30
years.
The
climate
in
Toronto
will
be
different
and
will
be
akin
to
the
climate
of
some
parts
of
California
30
years
ago.
30
years
is
just
around
the
corner.
B
B
So
for
people
who
say
the
planet
is
going
through
its
regular,
what
it
does
every
ten
thousand
years
or
so
that
could
be
true
and
we've
gone
through
it
before,
but
we
won't
survive
it
that's
the
issue.
We
won't
survive
it
and
with
respect
to
telling
our
constituents
the
truth,
it's
our
role
to
be
educated
as
well.
B
B
So
we
finally
came
to
a
consensus
with
these
good
people,
hard-working
people
knowledgeable
people
in
the
field
proposing
a
list
before
us
of
actionable
changes
that
will
that
will
make
a
formidable
impact
on
our
future.
We
sit
here
and
try
to
cobble
on
the
cheap,
something
that
will
fall
apart
and
not
to
be
a
Norton
and
the
amount
of
good
that
it
could
do.
B
T
Madam
Speaker
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
their
work
on
producing
this
report.
I
recognize
that
this
was
not
necessarily
easy
work.
It
was
extremely
technical,
I
recognized
that
there
was
also
the
reliance
on
external
partners,
including
subject
matter
experts
that
you
had
to
bring
in
to
help
us
put
together.
These
help
me
ourselves
put
together
these
less
lists
of
recommendations.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
the
thought
leadership
from
the
community,
as
well
as
the
residents
of
Toronto,
is
largely
what's
also
compelling
this
forward.
T
I
also
know
that
the
floor
of
the
floor
of
this
chamber
is
oftentimes,
been
faced
with
decisions
where
there
are
budgetary
impacts
and
I
think
that
what
I?
What
I
want
to
note?
A
madam
Speaker
is
that
when
we,
when
we
go
on
the
cheap,
sometimes
it
costs
us
much
more
down
the
road
and
that
that
is
much
more
than
just
the
financial
impact.
But
there's
actually
a
human
impact.
I
was
able
to
take
some
time
this
weekend.
I
think
we
all
had
a
very
nice
weekend.
T
I
was
able
to
visit
a
number
of
parts
of
the
city.
Some
parts
of
it
was
largely
connected
to
candidate
celebrations,
and
some
of
it
was
on
my
own
and
and
I
I
was
able
to
go
to
the
Scarborough
Bluffs
I
was
able
to
connect
with
the
ravines
I
was
able
to
to
go
to
a
number
of
places,
including
riding
the
trails
and,
of
course,
I've
throughout
the
the
weeks
leading
up
to
this
council
debate,
I've
also
been
very
much
in
tune
to
what
was
also
happening
on
the
island
cuz.
T
My
best
friend
lives
on
Toronto
Island
lives
on
Ward's
Island,
and
the
impact
was
everywhere
pathways
were
washed
out
the
bike
paths
where
the
bike
trails
were
completely
eroded.
Sandbanks
landslides
had
taken
place,
homes
and
not
quite
homes,
but
rather
backyards
and
the
the
retaining
walls
were
all
breached
and
I
just
wasn't
sure
how
much
was
the
impact
already
before
us
and
what
we
were
going
to
be
faced
with
not
just
with
what's
happening
on
Toronto
Islands,
but
rather
the
overall
accumulated
impact
of
the
storms.
T
That
just
happened
this
past
spring,
and
that
was
just
a
few
weeks
ago,
let
alone
what
is
going
to
happen
in
the
future.
We've
already
seen
that
we're
seeing
far
more
extreme
climate
conditions
and
and
the
impacts
are
are
devastating
to
say
the
least,
and
before
we
are
even
able
to
even
catch
our
breath
by
restoring
the
infrastructure
and
rebuilding
those
communities.
T
It
happens
again,
and
so
it's
not
lost
on
on
myself
that
the
pathways
that
were
washed
out
in
the
trails
that
were
washed
out
and
the
landslides
have
been
taking
place
at
Scarborough
Bluffs
and
the
ravines
that
are
in
dire
crisis
in
in
Rosedale
and
in
mud
and
the
mud,
creeks
and
yellow
creeks.
That
did
not
happen
over
a
short
period
of
time.
That
was
an
accumulation
of
of
years
of
neglect
and
not
having
a
strategy.
T
So
when
a
strategy
is
actually
placed
before
us
today,
one
that
actually
takes
into
consideration
what
the
impacts
of
urbanization
would
include,
including
how
we
build
our
city
moving
into
the
future
with
respect
to
green
infrastructure,
when
we
talk
about
the
quality
of
life
for
residents,
when
we
talk
about
building
social
equity
and
community
benefits
for
both
the
the
marginalized
and
vulnerable
communities,
that
is
a
pretty
comprehensive
look
at
building
a
city
for
the
future,
and
we
don't
do
this
on
our
own.
We're
not
doing
this
in
isolation.
T
We're
doing
this
as
a
part
of
a
global
village
of
cities
that
are
standing
up
and
saying
that
they
have
a
stake
in
the
in
this.
What
is
before
them,
and
they
recognize
that
if
we
are
going
to
be
able
to
help
ourselves
in
terms
of
this
global
community,
it
means
that
we
have
to
start
with
what
is
before
us
right
now
at
home
and
which
is
why
I
want
to
I
want
to
just
say
that
I
will
not
be
able
to
support
councillor
McMahon's
first
motion:
I,
don't
believe
that
we
needed
all.
T
The
information
is
before
us.
Staff
have
already
laid
that
out
and
I
think
that
they
were
really
clear,
that
these
recommendations
are
inter
dependent
and
they
are
optimally
time
to
work
together.
The
other
motion
that
I
cannot
support
is
councilmen
and
Wong's
dem
to
Deputy
Mayor,
Menon
Wong's
amendment,
because
I
believe
it's
that
poison
pill
and
I,
don't
think
that
we
need
it
in
order
for
us
to
advance.
Thank
Lord
counts
to
my
camp.
R
R
So
what
man
speaker
saying
that
I
actually
held
this
report
before
the
mayor
made
it
a
priority
item
at
the
last
council
meeting,
because
I
was
worried
that
it
may
not
get
the
attention
it
deserved,
but
we've
had
a
very
thorough
and
successful
and
healthy
exchange
of
ideas
at
this
council
chamber
today.
I
will
support
this
report.
100%
I
look
at
an
80%
reduction
target
by
the
year.
2050
and
it's
a
target,
this
is
being
adopted
around
the
world.
It's
a
target
that
I
think
we
have
to
adopt,
and
it
also
has
to
be
funded.
R
I
realized
when
I
look
at
the
literature.
There
are
cities
going
further
than
us.
Looking
at
a
hundred
percent
reductions
of
greenhouse
gases,
gases
in
Vancouver
places
like
Berlin
are
at
95
percent,
greenhouse
gas
reductions
and,
of
course,
I
think
we
all
know,
as
you
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
you
reduce
all
of
the
other
pollutants
that
goes
with
the
creation
of
those
gases,
so
whether
it
be
any
form
of
particulate
matter
any
of
the
heavy
metals.
R
Anything
that
is
bad
for
human
beings
is
connected
to
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
so
by
reducing
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
I
think
we're
going
to
help
ourselves
on
so
many
different
levels,
because
cleaner
air
is
cleaner
for
all
of
us
wherever
you
happen
to
be
I'd
like
to
compliment
our
staff
and
say
that
I
think
we've
got
it
right.
There's
always
been
this
argument
that
protecting
the
environment
and
having
a
healthy
economy
or
helping
people
are
two
separate
and
distinct
things.
They're,
not
they're
one.
R
In
the
same
and
I
appreciate
that,
when
we
looked
at
this,
when
I
looked
at
the
staff
report,
the
the
guiding
principles
for
the
low-carbon
actions
that
are
in
the
report,
the
first
one-
is
advanced
social
equity.
So
not
only
are
we
cleaning
the
air
and
protecting
the
environment
and
protecting
plants
protecting
our
climate,
protecting
water
quality,
we're
actually
advancing
social
equity,
we're
trying
to
improve
affordability
at
particularly
for
vulnerable
populations.
R
These
are
things
that
we
have
to
do
to
make
sure
this
is
a
holistic
approach
that
reaches
out
to
every
single
corner
of
the
city
and
makes
everybody
better
off
the
rich,
the
poor,
the
working-class
doesn't
matter
as
we
achieve
these
goals,
everybody
should
benefit
when
I
look
at
the
jobs
created
in
the
building,
the
section
alone:
80,000
person,
years
of
employment,
by
protecting
the
environment
by
cleaning
our
air,
we're
not
taking
away
people's
jobs,
we're
creating
80,000
person
years
of
employment.
Just
in
this
one.
Category
alone,
you
put
it
all
together.
R
Another
counselor
mentioned
earlier:
it's
over
300,000
person,
years
of
employment.
If
we
adopt
this
strategy
today
and
if
we
fund
this
strategy
over
the
next
decade
or
or
however
long
any
of
us
happen
to
be
in
this
council
chamber,
I'd
like
to
point
out
madam
chair
one
of
the
things
that
the
University
of
Toronto
has
done
again,
this
false
argument
that
it's
the
environment
or
the
economy,
the
University
of
Toronto
main
campus
in
our
city,
uses
less
energy
and
water
today
than
it
did
in
the
year.
R
2000
17
years
has
gone
by
and
the
university
is
using
less
water
than
it
did
before
less
energy
than
it
did
before.
Despite
a
50%
increase
in
the
student
population,
the
construction
of
25
new
buildings
that
add
over
3
million
square
feet
of
space
to
the
campus.
So
there
you
have
dramatic
tremendous
growth,
50%
increase
in
the
student
population,
and
yet
the
amount
of
energy
they
consume
is
less
than
they
consume
17
years
ago
and
I
look
down
in
the
letter
from
the
University
of
Toronto,
and
this
has
overall
save
them.
R
Forty
million
dollars
in
utility
expenses
over
the
past
decade,
so
you
can
invest
in
a
green
economy.
You
can
save
people
money,
you
can
make
them
healthier
and
you
can
provide
good-paying
jobs
to
the
people
who
live
in
the
city.
So
madam
Speaker
I'll
be
supporting
councillor,
McMahon's
motions
she
and
I
have
spent
our
adult
lives.
Fighting
for
the
environment
will
fight
for
it
today
will
continue
to
fight.
Thank.
A
D
L
Speaker
at
earlier
council
families
left
the
room
now,
but
he
asked
us
earlier
what
we
were
upset
about
what's
going
on.
Why
are
people
exercised
about
this
there's
concern
and
we
heard
it
in
their
preliminary
speeches.
Mayor
said
he
wants
to
make
sure
these
people
are
worthwhile.
Councillor
Robinson
wanted
to
know
are
the
temporary
contracts.
I
have
so
there's
concern,
but
what
we're
concerned
about
is
two
dollars
and
70
cents.
L
If
you
were
listening
to
this
this
debate
outside
of
this
room,
you
might
think
we
were
talking
about
eleven
two
billion
dollars,
we're
talking
about
two
dollars
and
seventy
cents
with
the
floods
that
counselor
Doucet
showed
us
with
the
heat
alerts
that
keep
rising
every
summer.
We
know
that
we
have
to
do
this
and
what
staff
are
asking
to
spend
this
year
next
year
and
the
year
after
that,
it's
two
dollars
and
70
cents
per
residents
of
the
City
of
Toronto.
L
Three
hundred
twenty
to
eight
hundred
and
sixty-five
million
one
of
my
colleagues
was
upset
at
how
long
it
took
to
get
that
community-wide
number
out
of
staff
I
think
perhaps
staff
were
concerned
and
how
that
would
sound
on
television,
because
those
aren't
all
city
government
funds,
those
aren't
all
coming
out
of
the
taxpayers
pockets,
not
by
any,
not
by
any
stretch
of
the
imagination.
One
of
the
functions
in
this
report
is
developing
financing
mechanisms.
L
We
are
the
world
leader
in
that,
starting
back
in
the
80s,
with
the
Toronto
Atmospheric
Fund,
a
signatory
and
developer
of
this
plan.
We
are
world
leaders
in
developing
those
mechanisms.
Taf
has
been
taken
and
blown
up
to
national
level
and
global
levels
to
be
used
all
over
the
world.
We're
good
at
developing
financing
mechanisms
to
get
climate
change.
Work
done.
L
This
plan
needs
two
dollars
and
70
cents
from
every
resident
in
Toronto
this
year
and
next
year
and
the
year
after
that,
to
do
it
now.
Oh
there's
more
people
in
my
house
whom,
if
every
resident
you
might
be
wanting
$10
for
my
house,
cuz,
there's,
there's
four
of
us
here:
I'll
pay,
it
I'll
pay.
It
add
it
to
my
property
tax
bill
right
now,
cuz.
If
two
of
the
kids
do
the
kids
in
the
house
or
my
grandchildren.
L
And
do
you
mind
if
we
use
that
money
to
employ
the
people
we're
going
to
employ
to
do
this,
the
hundreds
of
thousands
of
people
that
will
end
up
employed?
Will
you
give
me
270
per
every
member
of
your
family
I'm
guessing
the
answer
will
be
yes,
so
I,
don't
know
why
we
need
to
prioritize
you're
gonna.
Have
my
270
right
now!
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker.
H
Thank
you,
speaker,
speaker,
I'm,
going
to
be
voting
for
this
package.
I
I
understand
the
challenge
and
I
appreciate
the
the
effort,
the
research
that
has
gone
into
the
report
and
the
recommendations
that
are
before
us
I'm
also
go
to
support
to
counsel
McMahon's
amendment
and
here's.
Why
we're
all
looking
for
results
and
I
would
hope
everyone
would
agree
that
that's
the
bottom
line
we
want
carbon
emissions
reduced
and
reduced
as
quickly
as
possible.
H
It
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
do
things
sooner
rather
than
later,
and
it
affords
us
to
build
a
solid
case
for
provincial
and
federal
investment
in
what
we're
trying
to
do.
And
frankly,
speaker,
I
can't
see
anything
wrong
with
that.
We
are
as
a
city
and
I
disagree
with
councillor
ma'am
LEDs
interpretation
of
what
cities
do
or
will
be
expected
to
do
in
the
21st
century.
H
Increasingly,
speaker,
cities
are
becoming
important.
In
fact,
this
report
indicates
that
while
countries
are
having
problems
implementing
their
policies,
their
carbon
emission
policies
and
the
commitments
they've
made
to
them
in
past
cities,
I
have
a
far
better
track
record
and
so
I
think
it's
a
wise
investment
for
us
to
do
these
things
and
I
think
that
having
counsel
McMahons
amendment
will
help
us
to
get
the
results
we
want
sooner
rather
than
later,
and
to
build
the
case
that
we
have
to
make
with
the
other
orders
of
government
and
the
money
we're
seeking
from
them.
Thank.
A
E
Our
children
in
our
playgrounds
and
children
around
young
people
are
saying
that
we
need
to
take
action
and
I
think
I.
Think
if
the
message
that
we
should
heed
and
hear
and
act
upon,
I'm,
not
an
environmental
just
activist
by
any
any
any
any
imagination,
but
I
know
how
it's
connected
to
social
and
economic
justice.
We
know
in
the
world
that
developing
countries
and
people
with
less
wealth
are
taking
the
brunt
of
the
environmental
issues
that
that
we
face,
even
though
they're
the
environment
is
universally
belonging
to
everybody.
E
We
see
that
in
a
micro
level,
in
our
communities
where
people
with
low-income
people
who
have
less
access
to
resources
are
facing
the
brunt
of
the
of
the
issues
of
climate
change
and
so
on.
So
this
is
not
a
just
an
environmental
issue.
It
is
actually
a
social
justice,
economic
justice
issue
that
we
need
to
pay
attention
to
n
and
if
we
are
committed
as
a
serious
and
as
a
city
that
is
committed
to
equity,
you
know
I
see
this
as
one
of
the
priorities.
E
That's
a
racial
justice
activist
I
see
this
is
a
high
priority
for
us
to
act
upon
and
and
I
think
I
think
there
were,
they
were
come
some
mentions
about.
Are
we
doing
the
work
of
an
MP
or
MPP
or
so
on?
I?
Think
it's
important
for
us
to
see
ourselves
as
leaders.
A
City
of
Toronto
is
leading
in
many
many
areas
within
within
the
country,
and
we
have
a
leading
role
to
play.
E
We
have
to
put
our
action
where
our
mouth
is
before
we
start
asking
other
levels
of
government
to
come
forward
on
it
as
a
city
as
a
city
that
the
world
is
looking
at.
We
can
we
can
champion,
and
we
can
leave
so
I
think
I
think
it
is
within
our
jurisdiction
to
come
up
with
a
bold
plan,
ambitious
plan
and
go
forward
with
it.
E
I
do
not
understand
the
rationale
for
prioritizing
or
or
asking
for
more
information,
though
the
intent
might
be
genuine,
I
think
when
we
come
up
with
a
plan
like
this
and
when
we
are
having
a
bit
of
a
consensus.
Let's
move
forward,
let's
not
delay
it
through
processes
that
are
often
used
to
delay
delay
things
I
mean
even
if
it's
not
the
intent,
I
think
it's
very
important
for
us
to
recognize
that
those
steps
could
actually
take
us
into
the
next
election
year
and
then
fall
by
the
wayside.
E
So
it's
important
for
us
to
commit
in
its
entirety.
Let's
do
this
together.
We
thought,
without
putting
steps
in
there
that
may
willingly
unwillingly
compromise
the
kind
of
direction
and
and
the
movement
and
the
momentum
we
have,
whether
we
pay
now
or
pay
later,
but
we'll
be
paying
much
more
later,
and
it's
important
for
us
not
to
burden
our
children
with
this.
This
responsibility,
so
I
I,
am
I'm
in
support
of
the
report
is
in
entirety.
E
I
will
not
be
supporting
any
motion
that
asks
for
more
information
or
more
prioritization
as
I
see
it's
not
necessary,
it's
deep
enough.
It's
it's,
well-informed
and
I.
Don't
think
we
need
to
wait
anymore.
So,
let's
not,
let's
not
find
a
symbolic
or
band-aid
solution.
Let's
commit
to
it
together.
I
know
this
means
a
little
bit
more
money
for
many
of
us,
but
it's
something
we
all
have
got
to
pay
to
make
sure
that
our
next
generation
is
not
left
hanging.
Thank
you.
Thank.
M
As
the
chair
also
councillor,
David
shiner
was
on
here
plus
a
number
of
pretty
top
people
in
the
City
of
Toronto,
as
well
as
someone
from
local
79
Environment
Canada.
This
was
an
overarching
document
that
led
to
the
next
stage,
which,
as
I've
mentioned
to
you,
was
changes
in
the
air.
The
climate
change
plan
that
outlined
how
to
reduce
greenhouse
gases
in
the
city
of
Toronto
in
the
year
2000.
This
was
implement.
This
was
developed
after
a
lot
of
great
public
consultation.
M
A
lot
of
it
was
focused
on
ensuring
that
the
city's
own
infrastructure
was
upgraded
and
that
we
were
reducing
our
own
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
also
at
that
time
we
developed
ahead
of
the
storm
preparing
Toronto
for
climate
change,
based
basically
on
infrastructure,
flooding,
migration
back
flow
for
large
floods
and
what
happens
in
your
home?
Getting
ready
for
hotter
summers
milder
winters
how
to
build
things
better
and
differently,
given
the
challenges
of
climate
change.
M
C
M
Really
and
truly
it
is
so
important
that
we
grapple
with
this
and
engage
ourselves.
I
can't
remember
who
said
what
our
city's
doing
anyway
involved
with
climate
change.
Well,
all
of
the
cities
met
in
Paris
in
2015
and
signed
on
to
the
climate
change
Accord.
So
that's
what
cities
have
to
do?
We
have
all
of
the
infrastructure.
We
have
so
many
things
that
we
can
do
and
lead
and
lead
other
governments
to
fund
our
activities
on
climate
change
and
lead
other
governments
to
positions
on
climate
change.
I'm.
M
Very
sad
that
we're
fighting
over
a
word
here
when
I
think
every
single
one
of
us
believe
that
this
is
an
important
plan
to
be
funded
after
17
years.
I
expect
that
in
the
budget
process
we're
not
going
to
be
nickel
and
diming
our
climate
change
plan.
We're
not
going
to
be
saying
this
works,
and
this
doesn't
and
I
think
also
having
a
business
case
is
very
good
because
we're
going
to
be
engaging
businesses,
we've
had
Bulma
involved.
We
have
to
have
Toronto
Hydro
involved.
We
have
to
have
Enbridge
involved.
M
We
have
to
have
builders
involved,
we
have
to
have
people
involved.
They
have
to
see.
Oh,
we
know
what
you're
doing,
there's
a
business
case
for
your
climate
change
activities.
It's
a
good
business
practice,
so
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
that.
I
do
have
a
problem
with
us.
Looking
like
for
setting
things
up
to
remove
certain
activities
from
the
plan
and
I
would
just
encourage
councillors
to
keep
working,
let's
find
common
ground.
So
we
have
an
overwhelming
overwhelming
support
for
this
fantastic
transform.
Tío
17
years
after
this
council
started
down
that
path.
D
G
Madam
Speaker,
so
as
a
member
of
council
I
believe
that
I
have
three
options
on
how
to
move
forward
with
this
plan.
I
can
either
be
wilfully,
neglectful,
I
can
be
a
hypocrite
or
I
can
be
a
leader
and
I
believe
that
each
one
of
us
have
the
same
three
options.
What
is
wilfully
neglectful
me
well
to
me
it
means
to
simply
say:
well,
it's
somebody
else's
responsibility.
G
It's
the
provinces,
responsibility!
It's
the
federal
government's
responsibility,
it's
another
country's
responsibility.
Yes,
it
is,
but
it's
also
ours,
because
we
are
elected
and
we
have
an
opportunity,
contribute
to
contribute
to
the
most
impactful
global
challenge.
One
can
even
imagine,
and
it's
a
reality,
could
I
be
a
hypocrite.
G
Don't
believe
that
any
one
one
of
us
wants
to
be
a
hypocrite,
so
in
other
words,
if
you,
if
I,
if
we
vote
for
this
plan,
that
means
that
we
have
to
not
just
talk
about
it
or
write
letters
or
do
pressors,
but
we've
actually
got
to
do
something
about
it.
If
we
support
the
plan
now,
what
does
the
leader
mean?
To
me?
G
A
leader
means
somebody
who
stands
by
their
words,
who
makes
the
hard
choices
who's
willing
to
go
and
not
just
talk
about
doing
something,
but
go
all
the
way,
whether
it
be
our
transit
plans,
whether
it
be
our
poverty
reduction
strategy,
whether
it
be
our
vision,
zero
road
safety
plan.
Not
just
talk
about
doing
things,
doing
press
releases
about
doing
things,
reading
letters
arguing
that
somebody
else
should
do
something
about
it
for
us
or
writing
letters
so
that
the
media
will
pick
up
on
it.
G
G
So
my
colleagues
I
ask
you:
are
you
gonna,
be
willfully,
neglectful
and
pretend
this
isn't
your
problem?
Are
you
going
to
be
a
hypocrite
and
tell
your
residents
and
the
rest
of
the
city
that
you
support
this,
but
then
not
back
that
up
with
your
vote
or
actions
in
the
future,
or
are
you
going
to
be
a
leader
I
believe
each
one
of
us
have
the
potential
of
being
the
leader?
And
today
and
in
the
coming
months
we
have
an
opportunity
to
demonstrate
what
a
leader
is
all
about.
Thank
you.
A
So
my
committee
has
been
very
active
and
involved
for
a
number
of
years
and
just
recently
count
the
MPP
Laura
Benes.
In
myself
we
hosted
a
meeting
where
we
had
the
Minister
of
Environment
that
attended
and
he
was
a
speaker
at
our
event
and
he
was
actually
very
supportive
of
what
the
Mount
Denis
is
an
initiative
in
the
City
of
Toronto
as
well,
and
what
he
informed
us
is
that
there
is
funding
available.
This
is
the
Minister
of
Environment.
A
But
so
we
need
the
partnership
with
the
provincial
and
federal
government
as
well.
We
can't
just
step
ahead
and
say
we're
going
to
fund
everything
and
not
and
not
wait
until
the
federal
government
of
the
provincial
government
step
up
with
the
funding
that
they
have
promised
us,
so
I
will
be
supporting
council
McMahons
motion
and
I
do
support
all
the
recommendations,
so
I'm
on
the
budget
committee
as
well,
so
I
will
be
supporting
the
the
funding
when
it
comes
to
budget.
Thank
you.
C
C
Listen
very
briefly
if
whether
it's
an
ice,
storm
or
excessive
flooding,
as
we've
seen
this
year
or
extended
heat
waves,
climate
change
isn't
a
concept.
It's
not
just
numbers,
it's
real
and
it's
here
and
it's
having
a
daily
impact
in
our
lives
and
it's
councillor
Shan.
So
articulately
mentioned
it's
having
a
disproportionate
impact
in
the
global
south
and
affecting
people
who
are
already
dealing
with
the
scourge
of
poverty,
and
so
it
is
the
defining
issue
of
our
time.
We
will
look
back
50
years
from
now.
C
Those
of
us
who
are
still
here
to
ask
what
did
we
do
that
and
you
know
for
many
of
us
in
the
wake
of
the
election
of
President
Trump,
yes
and
the
United
States
exit
from
the
Paris
Accords,
you
sort
of
take
a
step
back
and
say:
what
do
you
do
and
I
see
it
as
two
options?
One
is
you
wallow
in
despair,
which
is
frankly
a
legitimate
option
given
what's
happening
south
of
the
border
or
the
other
one
is
to
model
different,
behavior
and
lead
and
and
to
start
a
climate
revolution
in
cities?
C
That's
what
we
do
and
if
it's
a
priority.
If
this
is
the
defining
issue
of
our
time,
then
it's
something
that
I
believe
we
fund
and
that's
not
to
say
that
we
don't
develop
and
improve
on
business
cases,
but
it's
a
priority.
Therefore,
we
fund
it
and
do
it
and
for
that
reason
I'll
be
supporting
councilor
Layton's
motion,
Thank
You.
B
Davis
Thank
You
speaker
I'll,
be
very
brief.
I
rise
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
recommendations
that
are
before
us
and
I
will
be
supporting
councillor
Layton's
amendment
I
believe
that
this
year,
an
allocation
of
6.7
million
dollars
next
year,
an
allocation
of
seven
point:
eight
million
dollars
the
following
year,
seven
point:
seven
million
dollars
is
both
affordable
and
responsible,
and
we
must
take
actions
we
have
spent
in
this
chamber
millions
and
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
to
make
traffic
flow
better
hundreds
of
millions
billions
to
make
traffic
flow
better.
B
K
I
want
to
talk
about
the
difference
between
achieving
staying
under
that
two
degrees
and
going
past
it
we've
had
some
terrible
experiences
here
in
Toronto
we
had
a
major
road
washout
by
what
was
it
eight
years
ago,
which
wound
up
being
one
of
the
largest
insurance
settlements
in
Canadian
history,
from
all
the
private
property
owners
along
that
area
who
had
their
properties
washed
out
because
of
a
flash
flood.
We
had
the
ice
storm
right
now,
we're
losing
shoreline
we're
losing
part
of
the
islands
probably
permanently.
K
K
K
Dozens,
dozens
of
global
cities
will
go
underwater,
including
most
of
Prince
Edward,
Island
thinking
locally
huge
swathes
of
our
food
basket.
Will
it
suffer
severe
droughts
because
the
temperature
will
be
too
hot
for
the
crops?
Food
insecurity
will
become
the
norm
in
Africa
in
Asia,
and
yes
in
North
America,
massive
droughts,
you
go
from
the
kind
of
inconveniences
we've
been
experiencing
that
cost
money
to
a
world
were
literally
hundreds
of
millions,
possibly
into
the
billions
of
human
beings,
live
in
parts
of
the
planet
that
become
uninhabitable.
K
That's
what
going
past
two
degrees
and
warming
is,
and
that's
why
this
number
was
chosen.
But
to
get
to
that
number,
you
have
to
do
the
whole
thing.
You
can't
do
a
bit
of
it.
You
can't
do
some.
It's
not
like
you
know.
Having
an
extra
recreation
program
is
better
than
keeping
it
the
same,
but
not
as
good
as
having
to
it's
a
qualitative
difference
in
the
future
of
life
on
this
planet,
and
that's
why
fulfilling
the
entire
program
is
necessary.
K
Now
we,
when
we
were
designing
this
program,
we
thought
about
things
like
how
to
involve
the
provincial
and
federal
governments,
and
the
measures
in
here
are
actually
tailored
and
designed
to
take
advantage
of
existing
federal
and
provincial
funding
mechanisms
that
works
been
done.
We
don't
have
to
prove
anything
to
anybody.
K
The
measures
are
also
integrated
in
that
we
do
need
to
hire
city
staff
to
engage,
alert
and
active
eyes.
The
population
of
the
City
of
Toronto.
We
can't
we'll,
go
and
retrofit
their
houses
for
them
or
change
the
land
use
in
their
neighborhood
for
them,
or
change
their
travel
habits
for
them
or
change
the
amount
of
garbage
that
they
throw
out
for
them.
We
have
to
design
the
programs
that
make
that
easy
to
do
and
then
tell
them
about
it.
K
That's
why
you
need
people,
that's
why
the
different
measures
work
together
in
concert
now,
there's
been
a
big
discussion
about
whether
we
can
do
the
whole
thing
and
whether
we
should
prioritize
it
and
I
was
asked.
Why
is
prioritized
such
a
bad
word?
So
I
went
to
our
good
friends
at
dictionary.com
prioritize
to
arrange
to
do
in
order
of
priority
or
to
to
organize
or
deal
with
something
according
to
its
priority.
The
reason
you
set
the
list
of
priorities
is
because
you're
deciding
you
can
only
do
some
of
them
now.
K
Maybe
later
you
can
do
some
others,
but
as
we
heard
from
staff,
the
measures
only
work
as
an
integrated
package
that
if
we
don't
act
early,
we
don't
accomplish
the
goal.
So
this
is
a
hard
decision.
I
know
it's
one
of
those
occasions
when
we
are
asking
staff
to
go
ahead
and
make
a
commitment.
We're
gonna
do
this,
and
if
you
vote
for
councillor
McMahon's
motion,
you're
saying
maybe
we're
gonna,
do
it
I've
asked
staff
what
happens
the
councillor
Layton's
motion?
K
If
councillor
McMahons
passes,
it
becomes
redundant
because
we've
already
told
the
budget
process
by
the
city
staff
and
Budget
Committee
they'll
pick
some
priorities.
The
idea
of
saying
no
build
the
whole
plan
into
the
base
budget
becomes
redundant.
That's
why
you
vote
for
councillor
Layton's
motion
and
not
councillor
McMahon.
