B
Thanks,
sorry,
it's
my
fault:
I
had
a
group
in
from
out
of
town
and
I,
they
they
I
just
couldn't
as
a
very
large
group
of
people.
I
just
couldn't
sort
of
leave
any
faster
than
I
did
I
apologize,
especially
to
the
committee
members
in
the
public.
So
we
were
at
the
the
latter
part
of
the
deputation
list
on
item
10.1,
Toronto
poverty
reduction
strategy
and
the
next
deputy
was
Mark
Smith.
B
C
Within
this
document,
my
name
is
Mark
Smith
I'm
here
as
a
private
citizen,
but
also
coming
from
a
position
of
being
the
chair
of
the
Toronto
seniors
forum,
which,
where
I'd
be
able
to
present
this
paper
to
them,
I'm
sure
they're,
going
to
endorse
it
quite
wholeheartedly
within
it,
though,
and
one
of
the
issues
I'm
having
with
deputations
that
I've
been
doing
for
the
last
couple
weeks.
A
couple
months
is,
and
speaking
to
citizen
gap
cos
know
it
about
asking
for
one
small
amendment
is
the
word
seniors
is
missing.
C
Seniors
is,
is
a
demographic
that
covers
all,
except
for
youth.
If
the
word
seniors
isn't
included,
it
becomes
a
secondary
and
directives
that
come
from.
You
are
basically
what
the
city
staff
and
what
the
city
operates
under.
If
a
term
like
the
word
seniors
or
intersex
or
something
is
not
flagged,
then
it
becomes
secondary
and
it
doesn't
come
into
the
all-encompassing
job
description
that
is
across
almost
every
day
or
every
department
is
not
my
job
description.
So
how
do
we?
C
How
do
we
bridge
that
gap-
and
that's
by
adding
one
word
in
it's
like
seniors-
covers
everything
except
for
youth,
but
within
20
years
and
by
the
time
the
whole
process
starts,
they
they'll
be
seniors.
So
a
lot
of
these
poverty
reduction
programs
are
really
really
good,
and
if
you
look
at
this
document,
it
mentions
youth
or
children
or
families
throughout
the
whole
document,
and
a
lot
of
it
is
based
on.
How
do
we
lift
people
up?
How
do
we
raise
them
up?
How
do
we
get
them
out
of
poverty?
C
The
problem
is
with
most
seniors.
Is
they
don't
have
the
resources
anymore
to
be
raised
up,
they're
going
to
be
falling
into
it,
and
how
do
we
do?
How
do
we
prevent
people
from
falling
backwards
into
it
and
and
that's
pretty
much
what
my
papers,
which
should
be
attached
within
your
binders,
should
cover
so
I?
Think
that's
it
and
I
do
have
another
meeting
to
go
to
shortly.
But
after.
D
C
Does
and
as
when,
we're
deep
Yuting
on
when
the
new
division
was
being
built
and
when
tennis
first
was
being
being
discussed,
is
things
get
a
tendency
to
be
siloed
and
if
we're
developing
a
new
seniors
division
based
on
the
senior
strategy?
How
does
that
reach
outside
of
that
silo?
How
does
that
is
out
of
the
TTC
now
operate?
How
does
how
does
housing
and
future
housing
out
of
community
hubs
like
in
within
this
document?
It
talks
about
building
community
hubs
for
youth.
C
C
So
how
do
we
make
it
reach
outside
of
it,
and
how
do
we
make
sure
that
that
one
little
word
is
covered
and
that's
why
I
put
this
up
as
the
the
flyer
that
we
use
a
lot
lately
is,
is
all
becomes
a
four-letter
word
and
it's
by
adding
the
word
seniors.
We
can
alleviate
a
whole
lot
of
ageism,
which
happens
everywhere,
no
matter
what
even
the
most
policed
organizations
still
have
ageism
within
it.
So
how
do
we?
C
How
do
we
start
building
that
gap
or
filling
that
gap
in
all
of
this
by
by
adding
the
word
seniors
into
any
document
that
comes
out,
and
that
starts
out
helping
us
bridge
a
bit
of
a
gap
and
when
you're
talking
about
a
senior
strategy?
It's
great
personally,
one
of
my
problems,
I
have
with
in
the
seating
strategy.
Is
it
was
developed
with
goals
that
were
achievable
and
goals
that
were,
you
could
set
your
sights
on
and
they
could
be
achieved,
but
there's
lots
of
other
underpinning
issues.
C
There
190
some
recommendations
in
the
original
document,
some
of
those
sort
of
had
to
be
pushed
aside,
because
there
was
no
system
in
place
to
fix
that.
So
how
do
we
fix
that?
We
fix
that
by
making
sure
everybody
here
is
aware
that
that
discussion
has
to
happen
at
all
levels
and
then
brought
into
the
seniors
division.
I
talk
way
better
without
go.
No,
it's
so.
B
Any
other
questions
I
might
make
a
sort
of
a
statement.
I'll
put
a
question
mark
at
the
end
of
it
to
you,
but
just
to
say,
I'm,
quite
willing
to
ask
our
staff,
because
I
think
I
think
you're
right,
you're,
not
speaking
so
much
but
I,
don't
I'll
say:
are
you?
Are
you
speaking
as
much
about
having
a
whole
section
or
series
of
pages
on
initiatives
for
seniors?
B
It's
just
a
fact
and
what
you're
really
saying
is
you
want
to
make
sure
that
the
strategies
plural
sort
of
fit
together
so
that
you're,
not
you're?
Thinking
about
everybody
when
and
so
III
was
moved
going
to
move
emotion
about
the
trans,
because
that
was
a
one
word
change
too,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
if
our
staff
could
help
accommodate
me
on
that
that
we
can
include
seniors
and
make
sure
that
the
context
within
which
is
done
is
not
to
say
that
youth
up
should
necessarily
apply
to
seniors.
B
C
Much
yes,
you
asked
me
in
the
past
at
one
deputation
about
about
the
full
LGBT
alphabet
and
my
feeling
is.
It
should
be
an
ever-growing
alphabet
because
by
having
that
flag
give
somebody
some
hope
gives
the
people
that
are
working
within
it,
something
that
he
can
aim
at
it's
I
hate
to
say,
use
the
word
exclusion,
but
within
mindsets,
if
that
word
isn't
constantly
flagged,
it
does
become
a
secondary.
It's
not
it's
not
in
there.
C
It's
not
in
the
realm
of
thought,
and
you
can
wonder
this
whole
building
and
you'll
see
things
about
using
gender
pronouns
or
using
this
or
use
that.
But
it's
really
hard
to
see
anything
in
this
building.
That
says,
remember
all
there's
not
a
four-letter
word
so,
and
it's
good
to
see
you're
walking
by
the
way,
I
meant
to
say
that
at
the
top,
so
I
thrown
us
off
but
yeah.
So
it's
it's
really
really
important
that
just
that.
C
Little
reminder
that
subtle
reminder-
and
it's
basically
counting
here-
six
letters
that
that
can
be
out
of
date,
read
document
and
just
starts
opening
doors
along
the
way
and
and
allows
us
as
as
an
advisory
body
that
sit
outside
of
it.
We
stolen
quite
know
whether
we're
a
P,
a
b
c,
a
b
PA
b
is
probably
not
where
we
fit
see
the
in
terms
of
being
able
to
bring
two
things
to.
You
is
probably
better.
C
B
C
B
E
E
You
Thank
You
Mara,
Tori
and
members
of
the
executive
committee.
We
would
like
to
also
thank
councilor
Piazza
and
the
city
staff
for
bringing
forward
this
important
report.
Beside
me,
I
have
come
to
Baker
our
community
benefits
campaigns
manager,
who
will
assist
with
answering
any
questions
that
you
might
have
so
the
Toronto
community
benefits
Network
we're
a
growing
community
labor
coalition.
Since
our
five-year
anniversary
we're
now
where
we
started
at
13
members
from
across
the
city
of
Toronto.
We
now
have
a
hundred
and
more
members
who
are
from
the
community
labor
and
social
enterprise
groups.
E
Looking
at
securing
good
jobs
and
economic
opportunities
for
people
who
has
been
historically
marginalized
and
left
out
of
the
labor
market,
we
have
10
of
the
largest
construction
unions,
who
are
members
of
the
t,
cbn
and
we're
constantly
in
the
process
of
building
our
capacity,
so
that
we
could
support
the
implementation
of
the
community
benefits
programs
that
we
now
have
in
place.
We're
currently
working
with
four
and
really
appreciate.
E
Centers
community
benefits
initiatives
provide
an
opportunity
for
government
in
other
institutions
to
support
social
and
economic
development
policy
priorities
with
their
procurement
processes
and
sectors.
We
have
been
we've
seen
progress
through
the
city's
adoption
of
the
social
procurement
policy,
of
course,
as
well
as
the
community
benefits
framework
as
tools
to
help
to
create
jobs
and
opportunities
for
Toronto's,
low-income
residents.
However,
as
you
know,
we
believe
the
city
can
certainly
do
more
and
of
particular
significance
for
us
is
the
looming
skills
trades
shortage
in
the
construction
sector
over
the
next
10
years.
E
At
least,
a
hundred
thousand
additional
construction
workers
are
needed
in
Ontario
due
to
the
increasing
demand
in
the
construction
industry
and
attrition
through
retirements.
Meanwhile,
the
current
Toronto
construction
workforce
is
1.2
percent
non-white,
44.4%
women,
1.9
indigenous
and
93
percent
white
male.
E
So
from
our
experience,
working
with
the
private
sector
in
workforce
development
agencies
to
implement
community
benefits
on
the
four
large
multi
invest
rupture
projects
that
we
now
are
supporting.
We
know
that
it's
critical
that
there
is
Institute
intentional
buy-in
from
all
stakeholders
at
the
table.
Therefore,
we
need
the
city
to
continue
to
take
leadership
role
in
convening
institutional,
private
and
public
sector
partners
to
work
collaboratively
to
leverage
its
purchasing
powers
to
support
training
pathways
for
Toronto's
low-income
residents
and
create
real,
meaningful
opportunities
into
well-paying
career
jobs
like
into
the
skilled
trades.
E
Diversity
might
be
our
strength,
but
its
inclusion
that
Toronto
is
known
for
and
we
need
to
champion
more
inclusive
and
transparent
collaboration.
As
such,
we
have
three
recommendations
that
we
would
like
to
see
the
city
prioritize,
so
we
like
the
city
to
continue
to
work,
to
develop
and
implement
community
benefits
data
system,
with
an
open
data
approach
to
track
and
report
on
the
outcomes
that
are
being
generated
by
the
community
benefits
initiatives
of
the
city
and
to
ensure
a
robust
evaluation
framework
to
monitor
the
success
of
the
program
number
two.
E
In
order
to
achieve
this,
with
support
staff
recommendations
for
the
city
to
fund
new
community
benefits,
coordinator
we'd
like
to
see
that
this
opposition
is
fully
funded,
because
we
know
that
it
takes
intentional
and
skilled
work
to
be
able
to
advance
this.
And
so
we
support
that
the
funds
be
aligned
to
support
this
new
position.
Also
over
the
next
term
we
would
like
to.
E
We
would
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
the
city
to
strengthen
and
expand
these
policies,
to
increase
social
and
economic
impact
within
the
city's
purchasing
goods
and
services,
to
buy,
build
or
provide
financial
incentives
and,
through
other
unique
opportunities
where
community
benefits
can
be
pursued.
A
jurisdictional
scan
has
shown
that
other
municipalities
across
North
America
have
successfully
implemented
and
achieve
much
higher
targets
and
benchmarks
to
what
we
currently
have
in
place
with
the
city
of
Toronto's
community
benefits
framework
and
over
the
next
year.
B
D
You
talked
a
lot
about
the
trades
and
sometimes
what
I
hear
is
that
everybody's
having
difficult
and
going
from
the
one
job
to
the
career
path,
to
make
that
transition
to
make
sure
that
we're
just
not
checking
the
box.
Yet
we
have
this
person,
but
how
do
we
turn
that
and
actually
the
career
for
that
youth?
How
what
can
we
do
to
assist
every
more?
What
we
all
need
to
do,
in
your
opinion,
to
get
a
better
result
and.
E
What
we
would
like
to
see
for
sure
is
that
all
the
stakeholders
are
on
board
in
in
in
in
coming
up
with
those
solutions,
and
the
community
needs
to
be
at
the
center
of
those
discussions
in
the
community
needs
a
seat
at
the
table
when
those
conversations
are
being
had,
for
example,
with
the
Toronto
community
benefits
network.
We've
supported
the
implementation
of
the
community
benefits
programs
that
are
in
place.
We
have
a
quick
start
in
construction
program,
which
is
a
pre-apprenticeship
program
to
actually
provide
training
and
support
and
help
people
get
the
documentation
they
need.
E
High
school
transcript
driver
license.
Whatever
the
barriers
are
to
being
able
to
access
these
apprenticeship
opportunities,
we
need
to
put
programs
in
place
that
is
going
to
break
those
those
barriers
down.
One
of
the
projects
that
I
have
up
here
is
the
next-gen
builders
mentoring
program,
making
sure
that,
when
they
get
into
those
workplaces
that
there's
a
welcoming
environment
for
them,
that
we
have
journey
people
who
care
about
their
progress
and
are
gonna
support
them
and
hold
their
hands
as
they
navigate
that
journey.
So.
F
E
Starting
that
process,
but
it
needs
to
be
supported
financially
and
also
the
all
and
all
the
stakeholders
involved,
needs
to
collaborating
more
effectively
around
it.
One
of
the
challenges
that
we're
seeing
right
now,
for
example,
in
the
current
program,
is
the
subcontractors
so
where
the
the
general
contractor
has
been
able
to
hire
directly
they've
actually
met
the
10%
and
surpassed
the
10%
requirements.
The
challenges
that
we're
seeing
is
that
with
the
subcontractors
they're
actually
trending
at
the
same
industry
level
of
about
1%,
so
we
need
also
the
employers
to
be
a
part
of
the
table.
E
The
corporation
United
Way
spoke
earlier
about
a
new
program
that
you're
implementing
in
the
golden
mile
area.
For
example,
we
need
to
look
at
those
partnerships-
those
intentional.
You
know,
partnerships
with
the
industry,
with
the
unions
with
the
community
with
the
employment
services
network
that
we
have,
of
course,
and
with
the
city
of
Toronto,
but
that
takes
real
work.
Intentional
work,
hard
work,
and
so
we
need
dedicated
staff
from
the
city,
who's
actually
working
to
develop
that,
and
we
want
to
really
see
this
coordinator,
that
this
position
just
hired
as
soon
as
possible.
B
G
You
about
a
decade
ago,
community
members,
unions
and
community
organizations
came
together
in
Rexdale
to
create
an
organization
called
cord.
It
was
called
Communities
organizing
for
responsible
development.
There
was
a
proposed
project
called
what
buying
live
at
the
time
that
promised
to
create
jobs
and
a
new
economy,
but
residents
demanded
to
have
a
say
and
what
that
looked
like,
and
although
the
project
didn't
go
through,
it
did
something.
G
I
know
many
people
who
came
out
of
that
problem
that
organizing
project
like
a
gentleman
who
led
war
7,
who
was
a
community
organizer
from
RAC,
still
had
been
doing
youth
programming
in
the
went
on
to
become
now
the
president
of
the
largest
hotel
Union
in
Toronto.
Because
of
that
you
need,
because
of
that
organizing
experience
and
now
he's
transforming
the
lives
of
thousands
of
people
in
the
city.
That
campaign
gave
people
hope
any
gay
people
a
sense
of
power
over
their
own
destiny,
but
that
was
also
the
foundation
of
community
benefits.
G
That
was
the
first
opportunity
where
labor
really
got
involved
with
the
community.
Just
say
how
do
we
do
this
thing
together?
My
name
is
Mohammed
Hashim
I
work
for
the
Toronto
York
Region
labor
council,
as
a
senior
organizer,
and
and
when
we
reflect
back
and
where
things
are
today
a
decade
ago,
when
my
organization
got
involved
into
that
work,
we
knew
that
in
order
to
truly
build
a
sense
of
ownership
of
one's
community,
people
needed
to
be
at
the
heart
of
it.
Since
then,
we
have
remained
deeply
committed
to
fighting
for
more
community
benefits.
G
The
framework
agreement
between
the
Toronto
community
benefits
network
and
Metrolink
set
the
stage
for
real
ambition,
with
goals
for
not
only
apprenticeships
but
also
white-collar
jobs.
Since
then,
we
have
seen
tremendous
on
a
progress
for
the
woodbine
casino,
thanks
to
councillor
Oliver,
incredible
advocacy
on
that
to
more
transit,
the
West
Park
hospital,
and
recently
the
city
adopted
a
community
benefits
framework
on
its
own.
G
I'd
also
like
to
take
a
moment
just
to
list
on
the
parking
reduction
to
thank
the
city
staff.
I
think
you
guys
have
done
an
incredible
I'm
gonna
work
on
this
thank
council
parousia
and
his
staff
for
all
the
work
that
he's
done.
I
also
just
wanted
to
take
note
of
councillor
former
councillor
Havok,
who
I
called
yesterday
to
say:
hey
Joe.
What
do
you
think
about
this
and
he's
like
I'm,
incredibly
proud
the
work
that
the
city
has
done?
He
also
gave
me
a
lecture
about.
G
You
know
how
the
city
needs
to
prioritize
us
on
the
budget,
which
I'm
sure
you
can
all
hear
counselor.
We
have
a
can,
but
also
counts
from
econo
and
her
former
staff
of
now
continuing
on
with
the
legacy.
I
have
no
doubts
that
councils
committed
to
this
and
I'm
looking
forward
again
to
seeing
a
unanimous
support
for
this
on
council
I.
G
I
know
we
are
looking
at
a
ton
of
cuts
from
the
province
and
but
perhaps
this
might
be
the
opportunity
for
us
to
look
beyond
what
the
constant
pressure
of
what
we
need
to
deal
with
now
and
to
look
at
revenue
tools
to
see
what
can
we
actually
build
upon
and
add
to
the
city,
because
we
know
if
we
don't
take
note
the
work
that
this
report
is
recommending,
but
also
for
the
climate
work.
That's
happening.
The
city's
gonna
be
falling
behind
and
I
think
it's
time
for
the
city
to
address
that.
G
But
what
that
I'd
also
like
to
propose
a
synthesis
for
interests
of
our
interests.
Earlier
we
heard
from
the
truant
community
benefits
Network,
which
is
an
organization
that
many
of
the
councillors
have
have
supported
and
including
councillor
Thompson,
who
I
don't
see
here
today,
who
was
instrumental
in
getting
the
policies
passed
and
we're
deeply
committed
to
working
with
you.
G
Well,
we
hope
to
see
is
that
the
city
puts
a
lot
more
emphasis
on
the
community
benefits
framework,
and
how
do
we
see
the
Keamy
benefits
framework
as
a
vehicle
for
poverty
reduction,
and
how
do
we
use
it?
Not
just
for
card
reduction
but
for
economic
development
as
well?
We
heard
from
the
other
way
talking
about
the
inclusion,
inclusive
economies
and
there's
to
us
include
building
inclusive
economies
means
giving
a
people
a
stake
in
the
way
their
futures
is
going
to
be
held.
B
I
I
Children
under
12
are
able
to
ride
the
TTC
for
free,
but
being
someone
who's
15
older
than
12
I
have
to
be
able
to
pay
the
fare
of
$2
and
I
think
something
cents
now
coming
from
a
low-income
family.
$2
might
not
seem
a
lot,
but
for
me
it
is
just
eating
to
get
to
the
library
which
takes
two
buses
being
with
no
money
to
get
their
back.
Is
that
can
be
a
challenge
now?
The
TTC
should
be
able
to
be
the
TTC.
I
It
should
be
free,
giving
a
chance
for
all
to
write,
especially
now
that
climate
change
is
a
big,
a
big
deal
now,
so
we
should
be
promoting.
You
should
be
promoting
those
two
to
leave
their
cars
and
start
writing
the
TTC
to
incorporate,
although
income
families,
so
the
TTC,
you
should
be
able
to
write
for
free.
Secondly,
I
would
like
to
talk
about
bring
my
attention
to
the
teens
and
these
low
income
families
who
are
living
in
poverty.
I
No
teens
should
be
able
to
be
put
in
that
situation
as
an
experience
like
my
friend
he
has
to.
He
was
15
and
he
has
to
be
able
to
take
care
of
his
younger,
siblings
and
and
be
able
and
with
no
job.
He
has
to
take
the
only
option
right
now
wish
to
sell
illegal
substance.
Subsistence
subsistence-
and
you
know,
working
with
these
people
can
be
very
dangerous.
I
mean
six
days
ago.
He
was
stabbed
and
but
he's
now
fine,
but
so
there
needs
to
be
more
job
opportunities
for
youth.
H
Well,
thank
you,
mr.
mayor.
This
is
not
the
first
time
my
daughter
has
come
to
this
meeting
and
speak
her
mind.
This
is
a
picture
of
her
when
she
was
only
six
years
old.
She
came
to
the
TTC
board
at
the
time
on
a
February
Coalmont
to
speak
to
the
TTC
board,
to
improve
this
route
systems
in
in
the
city
of
Etobicoke
I'm,
here
to
speak
on.
H
The
support
of
the
CBA
for,
as
members
have
spoken
about,
the
community
benefits
Network
Region
Park
right
now
is
going
to
sign
a
with
developers
of
phases,
four
and
five
a
which
will
develop,
and
we
want
to
ensure
that
the
jobs
that
are
they
the
granite
create
are
given
to
the
youth.
You
hear
the
story
of
my
daughter.
She
is
from
the
Scarborough.
She's
were
councillor.
H
We
have
heard
from
members
of
the
community,
as
we
have
an
urgent
meeting
to
accelerate
these
negotiations
with
Toronto
Community
Housing
and
the
Diwali
and
the
developers
we
heard
from
members
of
the
community,
especially
veterans
who
are
not
able
to
find
any
job
which
the
mental
illnesses
know
that
issues
that
they
have
so
I
wonder
if
you
are
able
to
to
hear
these
recommendations
that
we
are
submitting
to
of
the
city
a
one
emphasizing
the
issue
of
disabilities.
My
community
is
engaged
in
these
discussions
with
tche
and
as
a
member
resident
of
Toronto.
H
H
We
wanna
ensure
that
those
members,
largely
historically
the
denied
opportunities,
are
giving
a
a
good
job,
building
or
maintaining
our
homes
and
faces
for
infile
or
region
Park.
As
I
said
before,
and
we
are,
we
have
had
several
meetings
to
address
this
urgent
need
to
create
good
jobs
for
faison's
four
in
five
and
my
daughter
came
because
she
has
a
really
interesting
concern.
Is
why
we
cannot
make
TTC
free
low
income
people?
We
can
do
that.
Mr.
Tory,
you
know
we
have
this
problem
with
the
guns
problems.
H
When
we
come
here
and
we
talk
about
money
for
policing,
we
don't
have
no
problem,
giving
them
all
the
money
that
they
require
because
they
said
that
they
want
to
protect
us.
What
about
the
youth?
What
are
we
doing
to
ensure
that
we,
this
youth,
become
good
citizens
role
models
one
day?
Who
knows
the
mid-run
City
Hall
when
we
are
older?
So
we
want
to
ensure
that
the
money
that
goes
for
the
TTC
right
now
in
this
poverty
reduction
reduction
strategy
addresses
the
needs
of
Regent
Park
Scarborough
all
over
the
city.
H
Poverty
is,
is
it's
an
issue
that
it's
not
going
away,
but
we
can
make
efforts
to
ensure
that
the
poor
come
out
there.
All
residents
and
people
with
disabilities,
like
myself,
I,
haven't,
have
no
jobs
since
I
left
my
job
at
a
Toronto
Zoo.
The
social
development
plan
was
approved
two
weeks
ago,
I
believe
in
City
Council.
H
We
just
find
out
that
they
created
32
full-time
jobs
from
2007
to
2014,
32
jobs,
that's
a
joke
and
we're
investing
millions
in
millions
of
dollars
in
Regent,
Park
I.
Don't
understand
why
we
cannot
find
jobs
for
the
community
and
also
when
I
go
for
the
record
for
the
poverty
reduction
strategy.
Mr.
consul
Appaloosa
that
I
hire
apply
for
their
living
experiences.
H
B
H
H
B
B
Right
that
brings
us
to
the
end
I
believe
that
the
deputations
is
there.
Anybody
here
who
has
not
been
heard
that
thought
they
were
going
to
be
heard.
Okay,
that
brings
us
then
to
questions
of
staff.
Can
I
counselor
fruit?
So
can
you
help
me
I
gather,
there's
a
mayor
in
the
room
from
Italy
and
you
could
perhaps
introduce
him
better
than
I
show
come
and
say
hello
to
him
in
a
minute
or
her
yeah.
You
said
so,
please
absolutely.
J
B
B
D
You
I'm
gonna,
ask
I
was
a
bit
surprised
actually
by
not
having
a
lot
of
information
on
the
human
services
integration,
because
I
think
it
would
be
crucial
for
the
poverty
reduction
that
we
implement
that
project
in
order
to
really
help
an
individual
with
all
kinds
of
stuff
from
our
child.
Subsys
childcare,
subsidy,
housing,
you
name
it!
So
how
does
that
work
with
poverty
reduction?
So.
A
Through
the
mayor,
human
services,
integration
doesn't
change
the
level
of
service
or
subsidy
that
we're
providing
to
the
customer.
It
just
makes
it
easier
for
how
they
access
those
services.
So
we
are
working
at
we're
working
on
streamlining
that
process,
so
they
can
apply
once
and
contact
us
once
and
then
we
let
them
know
what
they're
eligible
for
for
all
three
program
or
income
support
programs,
but
it
doesn't
change
the
level
of
support
that
we're
able
to
provide
well.
D
But
it
it
could
change
the
way
that
you
serve
as
somebody
and,
if
you,
if
you
have
somebody
that
needs
assistance
and
you're
very
easily
able
to
start
stacking,
these
subsidies,
you're
gonna,
have
a
different
outcome
than
not
I
mean
that's
the
whole
reason
for
human
services.
Integration
I'm
just
wondering:
where
is
that
in
the
middle
of
all
this?
What
can
we
expect
something?
When
can
we
expect
a
report?
When
can
we
expect
it
to
be
done
so
we
kind
of.
A
Sorry
yeah,
but
we
can
provide
an
update
on
where
we're
at
with
human
services
integration,
so
we've
just
launched
the
consolidated
call
center
and
we're
just
trying
to
build
up
our
database
to
understand
where
the
overlaps
are
and
how
many
clients
would
actually
be
eligible
for
all
three.
We
we
have
a
fair
appreciation
that
there's
a
bigger
overlap
between
Ontario
Works
and
our
the
housing
subsidy.
A
D
Can
do
you
think
that
maybe
we
should
have
a
report
on
the
human
services
integration
at
the
same
time
as
well,
just
because
it
has
I
mean
the
people
that
it's
gonna
impact.
The
most
is
the
people
that
were
actually
trying
to
get
out
of
poverty,
so
I
think
it's
a
huge
tool
to
help
us
get
that
done.
We
can
do
that
for
sure,
yeah,
okay,
one
more
quiet,
two,
more
questions,
the
connection
between
the
poverty
strategy
and
the
senior
strategy.
They.
D
K
B
L
So
through
the
mayor,
we
can
certainly
provide
you
with
that.
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you
and
I
was
I,
wanted
to
ask
about
so
in
terms
of
open
data
and
that
and
the
shelter
occupancy
numbers
in
the
open
data
portal,
the
de
leur
daily
shelter,
occupancy
data
set,
it
hasn't
been
updated
since
July
I
was
just
wondering.
When
can
we
have
those
numbers
on
a
more
regular
basis?.
E
L
A
L
All
right,
thank
you,
and
then
I
also
wanted
to
ask
around
that
the
transit
pass
and
how
we
came
to
the
evaluation
of
that
I've.
Seen
other
municipalities,
Ottawa
and
Vancouver
they're
running
a
similar
type
program,
but
that
the
transit
pass
is
much
cheaper
than
what
the
City
of
Toronto
is
looking
at.
Doing.
Do
we
does
the
transit
past
is
how
does
that
the
value
of
that
get
determined.
K
Through
you,
mr.
mayor,
when
we
develop
the
transit
fare
equity
program,
we
looked
at
other
municipalities
and
endeavored
to
match,
if
not
do
better
than
their
their
programs.
Toronto's
is
more
comprehensive
because
it's
not
capped,
so
those
other
programs
are
able
to
offer
a
deeper
discount
because
they
cap
the
amount
of
people
who
can
access
them.
Okay,.
L
So
that's
a
good
news
story
in
City
of
Toronto
we're
not
capping.
The
transit
pass
were
we're,
giving
it
to
as
many
people
as
we
can.
Okay
I
also
wanted
to
ask
the
one
deputy
mentioned
about
the
gender
identity
and
gender
expression
in
the
report
around
transgender
non-binary
and
how
it
was
connected.
K
So
the
poverty
reduction
is
an
overall
strategy
that
counsels
other
social
development
strategies
are
a
part
of
it
aligns
with
those
other
strategies
and
we've
always
taken
a
very
strong,
integrated
and
analysis
approach
to
the
development
of
the
items
within
the
strategy.
So
that
includes
looking
at
of
low-income
people,
equity
seeking
groups
that
are
vulnerable
to
poverty,
including
racialized
communities,
transgender
and
non-binary
folks.
But
the
deputy
was
right
that
in
the
current
action
plan
we
didn't
specifically
named
transgender
non-binary
Torontonians,
so
I
think
moving
forward.
K
N
Yes
through
you,
mr.
mayor,
we
in
terms
of
the
youth
hubs.
We
have
two
Youth
hubs
planned
for
2020,
one
at
the
Jane
Dundas
branch
and
the
other
at
the
rich
view
branch
this.
These
two
additional
youth
hubs
will
take
us
to
15
youth
hubs
across
the
city
in
Nia
neighborhoods
serving
Nia
neighborhoods
and
there's
been
a
43
percent
increase
in
the
use
of
our
youth
hub
year-over-year,
so
they're
very
popular.
They
are
very
structured
program.
N
So
it's
a
drop-in
program,
but
it's
very
structured
because
we
provide
afterwards
after-school
homework,
help
we
teach
youth
between
the
ages
of
13
to
19.
You
attend
the
program
to
use
the
technology
that
we
make
available
to
them
and
we
have
volunteers
from
the
various
universities
and
colleges
and
the
in
the
neighborhoods
who
help
with
the
homework
help
in
addition
to
our
own
staff.
Okay
and.
N
Yes,
at
the
the
March
7th
2019
council
meeting
where
the
operating
budget
operating
capital
budgets
were
approved
for
2019,
the
library
was
asked
to
come
back
with
the
open
hours
plan
and
updated
open
hours
planned
and
costing
to
submit
as
part
of
the
2020
budget
process.
And
so
we've
done
that
and
the
library
board
has
approved
the
plan
and
the
we
have
approved.
The
phasing
of
the
plan
into
three
phases
and
they've
also
asked
wanted
the
phase
one
and
Phase
two
of
the
plan
to
be
combined
into
one
year.
All.
N
They
were
chosen
using
a
we
look
at
this
every
year
when
we
have
an
the
youth
hub
plan
and
we
look
at
the
use
of
the
we
look
at
the
demographics
of
the
communities.
We
look
at
the
use
of
the
libraries
in
terms
of
youth
in
those
neighborhoods
and
we
look
at
geographic
distribution
across
the
city
as
well,
and
what
we
realized
when
we
looked
at
the
youth
hub
locations
for
2020
was
that
the
this
area
of
South
Etobicoke
and
the
southern
area
southwest
area
of
the
city
was
underserved
even.
N
F
Believe
so,
okay,
thank
you
question
a
question
to
staff
on
the
the
in
attachment
F
that
your
that
staff
is
going
to
report
back
with
the
staff
report:
economic
community
development
in
the
second
quarter
of
2020,
on
recommendations
to
meet
the
needs
of
use
most
vulnerable
to
serious
crime
and
violence.
So
can
you
tell
me
why
twenty
second
quarter
of
2020
and
what
would
you
be
bringing
forward
I.
F
M
The
chair
counselor
the
amount
of
work
that
the
Youth
Services
review
is
taking.
It
incorporates
all
youth
services
across
all
divisions
and
analysis
of
what
kind
of
work
those
programs
are
doing,
whether
or
not
they're
achieving
what
they're
intended
to
be
achieving.
We
appreciate
the
the
ten
shootings
in
the
past
two
weeks
that
have
happened
in
your
ward
and
we
are
happy
to
meet
with
you
to
see
if
there
is
something
that
we
can
assist
from
from
a
youth
services
perspective
between
now
and
the
end,
the
time
that
the
youth
services
review
returns
so.
A
B
I
heard
just
to
try
and
clarify
that
cuz
I
think
it's
an
important
question
is
that
they
would
sit
and
talk
to
you
about
your
a
particular,
very
acute
problem
in
your
area,
but
they
did.
They
would
carry
on
doing
the
work
on
the
current
yeah
because
it's
so
complicated
is
that
is
that
gonna
be
satisfactory
to
you.
Yeah.
F
B
F
A
O
Yes,
thank
you
Thank
You,
mr.
mayor,
through
you
to
staff
regarding
the
the
hub's.
Now
some
of
them
are
going
community
centers,
some
of
the
go
in
libraries
when
they
go
in
libraries.
Are
those
library
staff
that
are
delivering
that
program
and
is
it?
Does
it
come
out
of
the
Toronto
Public
Library
operating
budget,
or
is
that
a
interdepartmental
divisional.
N
N
N
N
O
O
N
Know
we
don't
cap
it
at
all.
We
use
the
staff
within
the
branch
itself
to
assist
when
we
have
a
we're,
an
overcapacity
in
the
youth
hub,
and
that
does
happen
quite
regularly
in
particularly
busy
branches,
cedar,
Brae
and
Fairview,
or
two
that
are
extremely
busy
and
well
used,
and
they
often
get
more
than
60
students
after
school,
and
so
we
move
some
of
those
students
to
other
parts
of
the
library
where
the
staff
provide
the
support
they
need
for
after-school
homework.
Help
okay,.
O
O
K
O
Now
that's
a
segue
into
my
next
question.
Evaluation
is,
is
mentioned
in
detail
on
page
15,
where
we're
going
to
measure
the
effectiveness
of
many
of
the
strategies
that
were
adopting
it's
it's
my
experience
that
once
you
start
a
program,
it
is
virtually
impossible
to
to
yank
it,
no
matter
what
the
matrix
is
for
for
successor
or
not
our
staff
determined
to
bring
blunt
reports
back
to
Council
saying
look.
This
looks
like
a
great
program
on
paper,
but
it's
not
working.
K
So
you
service
review,
for
example,
that
we
spoke
about
with
councilor
nunzio's
question
is
to
do
exactly
that.
We
are
investing
in
many
things
related
to
serving
young
people,
and
some
of
them
have
better
outcomes
than
others,
and
this
comprehensive
review
is
our
opportunity
to
be
able
to
look
and
say
these
are
the
ones
that
are
really
having
the
outcomes
that
are
intended,
and
these
are
the
ones
that
are
not
missing.
The
mark.
K
O
I
asked
a
similar
question
to
one
of
the
earlier
deputies:
the
I
guess
the
whole
program
and
I
think
cancer
perusal
for
its
dedication
is
called
poverty
prevention,
preventing
people
from
slipping
into
poverty,
but
much
of
this
program
also
is
to
help
people
already
who
have
slipped
into
poverty.
Is
this
a
prevention
program,
or
is
this
a
soft
landing
program,
or
is
it
both
this.
K
20
year
strategy
that
council
approved
does
three
things.
I
would
say:
one
is
about
money
of
the
initiatives
is
about
mitigating
the
worst
impacts
of
living
in
poverty.
There
are
programs
that
are
about
prevention,
and
there
are
programs
that
are
about
systemic
change,
which
again
I
think
is
about
us
trying
to
prevent
where
possible,
but
the
reality
is-
and
we've
said
this
very
clearly
at
every
time
that
comes
considers
the
poverty
reduction
strategy
that
solving
poverty
is
beyond
the
capacity
of
a
municipal
government
acting
alone
to
be
able
to
achieve.
K
B
Thank
You
councillor
Pasternak,
there
are
other
members
of
the
committee
who
have
not
yet
asked
questions
wishing
to
do
so.
I
think
everybody
has
could
I
just
I.
Have
this
motion
that
I
will
move
when
when
we
get
there
in
a
minute,
I
just
wanted
to
ask
that
this
is
previewing
it
a
little
bit.
There
was
a
request
made
both
by
two
groups,
who
were
here
and
I
guess
this
kind
of
speaks
to
the
challenge
of
dealing
with
those
two,
because
they
happen
to
show
up
and
cared
enough
that
it.
B
The
the
motion
that
you
have
here
talks
about
all
equity
seeking
groups
and
indigenous
communities
to
sort
of
incorporate
by
reference
or
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
that
you
believe
that,
in
order
to
be
responsive
to
what
miss,
Caprica
and
also
the
mr.
Smith
from
the
seniors
group,
that
would
those
two
would
both
be
considered
within
that
and
therefore
the
I
think
very
valid
point
they
made,
which
is
that
we
take
the
particular
needs
of
those
communities
into
account
in
addressing
the
poverty
reduction
strategy
would
be
met.
By
these
words,
absolutely.
K
B
B
J
Thank
you
so
much
mr.
mayor,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
start
off
by
a
thanking
all
of
the
deputies,
all
of
the
people
that
came
here
to
speak
today
for
all
their
insights
advice
and
that
they
provided
to
the
committee
I
also
want
to
be
thanked.
The
staff
I
know
that
this
has
been
a
long
time
coming.
I
know
that
you
know
a
report
ready
to
go.
J
You
know
earlier
this
year
in
the
summer,
and
you
know,
given
some
of
the
provincial,
you
know,
activity
in
some
of
the
provincial
cuts
that
came
along
kind
of
derailed,
the
the
program
and-
and
it's
finally
here
you
know
so
at
the
end
of
the
year,
a
little
later
than
when
we
would
like
to
have
had
it
here,
but
they
did
get
it
here
and
and
I
know
that
they've
they've
worked
really
hard
to
do
that.
And
lastly,
I
I'd
like
to
thank
you,
mr.
mayor
for
your
leadership
on
this
I
I.
J
Think
I
think
we
just
heard
that
you
know
and
to
repeat
the
phrase
and
I'm
not
good
at
at
at
paraphrasing
people,
but
the
suggestion
was
made
that
solving
poverty.
Poverty
is
beyond
the
municipal
governments,
a
scope
or
ability
to
do,
and
and
for
you
to
have
had
the
courage,
tain
not
only
lead
on
this
on
this
plan,
that's
before
us
or
this
action
plan,
that's
before
us
today,
but
lead
on
the
issue
as
a
whole
and
to
be
and
for
you
to
have
been
able
to
say.
But
you
know
what
that
may
be
true.
J
That
may
be
the
case,
but
we
can
still
do
some
things
about
poverty
and
about
mitigating
poverty
and,
and
while
this
for
all
of
us
is
a
work
in
progress,
so
if
people
have
asked
some
questions
about,
you
know
what
do
we
do
and
how
do
we
get
there?
So
there
are
suggestions
here.
So
so
we
did
this
four
year
plan
that
that
some
of
it
is
still
underway.
Some
of
it
got
funded.
J
J
I
find
that
almost
everything
we
do
has
a
poverty
component
to
it
doesn't
make
matter
what
investment
we
make
where,
whether
it's
in
you
know
housing
or
its
infrastructure
or
or
any
of
the
other
things
that
we
do
have
an
economic
impact
of,
of
course,
and
there's
a
ripple
effect
to
that.
So
how
do
you
quantify
that
I'm?
Not
quite
sure,
I
know
that
people
are
really
you
know,
intent
and
eager.
You
know
about
numbers,
but
but
overall,
this
is.
This
is
a
plan.
It's
a
it's!
J
It's
a
bit
of
a
work
in
progress
and
in
when
you
take
that
and
and
you
mirror
that
against
all
of
the
things
that
that
we
read
in
the
daily
headlines
on
a
daily
basis,
you
know
housing
prices,
you
know,
they're
going
up,
food
prices
are
going
up,
transportation
costs
are
going
up
and
we're
all
kind
of
like
slipping
further
and
further
behind.
In
relation
to
that,
then,
how
do
you
say?
J
Well,
you
know
we're
going
to
deal
with
this
I've
just
read
a
headline
the
other
day
that
almost
knocked
my
socks
off
and
it
has
to
do
with
the
states.
But
you
know
what
we
often
replicate
what's
happening
in
in
in
the
Downs
just
south
of
us,
a
headline
that
said
that
the
1%
is
a
cumulative
cumulative
Lee
has
accumulated
almost
as
much
wealth
as
the
entire
middle
in
that
country.
J
So
when
you
look
at
that,
and
you
look
at
that
statistic-
and
you
say
well,
you
know
what
we're
all
in
a
slippery
slope
backwards,
but
there's
some
things
that
we
can
do,
especially
for
the
ones
that
are
slipping
further
behind
they're,
like
at
the
end
of
the
line
and-
and
this
report
deals
with
some
of
that,
where
it
makes
it
a
little
bit
better.
And
of
course,
it's
going
to
require
a
very
disciplined
commitment
on
the
part
of
each
and
every
one
of
us
to
do
that.
J
One
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
leading
on
and
there's
a
good
sign.
Is
that
there's
a
lot
of
other
people
that
are
coming
on
board
on
that
one
and
the
other
very,
very
hopeful
a
thing?
That's
in
this
report
and
it's
from
an
advocacy
perspective
and
it's
around
child
care
and
Universal
child
care.
And
while
everybody
talks
about
it,
you
know
at
election
time.
J
J
J
Everyone
who
came
here
today
pretty
much
touched
on
the
fair
pass
and
what
I
heard
was.
That's
been
a
good
thing
and
we
need
to
expand
it.
We're
doing
that.
The
next
phases
become
a
lot
more
complex.
Why?
Well
the
first
couple
they
were
difficult
from
a
money
perspective,
but
administrative
ly.
There
was
somewhat
easy
to
achieve.
We
know
who's
on
Ontario
Works.
We
know
who
was
on
ODSP.
We
know
who's
getting
childcare
subsidies,
that's
pretty
easy!
Those
those
are
on
our
lists
already.
Now.
J
How
do
we
go
and
say
to
everyone
else,
because
everybody
touched
on
this
point:
a
lot
of
other
poor
people
riding
the
buses
next
to
the
person
who's
on
Ontario
Works.
Now,
how
do
you
figure
that
out
so
there's
going
to
there's
going
to
be
some
considerable
amount
of
work
that
has
to
be
done
in
that
area?
J
But
it's
also
it's
also
very
interesting
and
very
encouraging
to
see
that,
while
we're
doing
this
and
while
we're
reducing
TTC
fares
for
some
people,
you
have
some
of
the
political
parties
now
who
have
adopted
lower
fares
as
part
of
their
platforms.
I
know
the
NDP
nationally
was
talking
about
that
quite
a
bit.
You
have
a
leader
or
a
leadership
candidate.
Now
for
one
of
them
major
provincial
parties,
who's
talking
about
you
know,
TTC
or
transit
fare
reductions
going
forward.
B
L
Thank
You
Mara
Tory
I
have
three
motions
that
I'm
putting
forward.
They
really
deal
kind
of
connected
with
number
two
were
asking
for
staff
report
back
on
progress
made
towards
implementing
activities
or
progress
on
the
poverty
reduction
strategy,
they're
all
around
open
data
and
the
first
ones
requesting
the
medical
officer
of
health
to
release
the
tracking
information
on
homeless
deaths
in
the
City
of
Toronto
as
an
open
data
set,
including
medical
cause
of
death
date
date,
gender
indigenous
status,
cause
of
death
and
location
of
death.
L
We
actually
City
Council
unanimously
supported
a
motion
that
I
moved
in
2016
around
tracking
homeless
deaths.
How
these
people
are
dying
on
the
streets
and
why
and
their
background
I
think
is
very
important
as
well
as
so
I'm
moving
these
three
additional
motions,
meritorious
initiative
so
far,
I
want
to
thank
staff.
My
Ward's
in
the
southeast
corner
is
Scarborough.
When
you
talk
about
poverty
reduction,
I
have
five
neighborhood
improvement
areas
in
my
award
and
in
Scarborough
you
know
it
comes
people
get
surprised
when
I
mentioned
the
fact
that
I
have
a
respite
center.
L
L
It
now
looks
like
it's
going
to
be
permanent
and
I'm
fine
with
that,
because
when
you
talk
with
people
about
homeless
in
in
Scarborough
and
and
poverty,
there's
a
real
there's,
a
hidden
homeless
population
and
when
people
say
we
don't
have
any
homeless
in
Scarborough,
I
say
to
them
now:
you're,
not
looking
in
the
right
places.
I
can
take
you
in
a
Morningside
Park
and
you
can
find
people
that
are
hiding
their
their
clothes
under
rocks.
Their
pitching
tents
in
ravines
I
have
a
small
homeless.
L
Ten
encampment
in
my
ward
I
recently
had
somebody
living
not
under
a
bridge
on
Lawrence
Avenue
East.
They
were
living
in
a
bridge,
and
so
there
is
a
homeless
problem
in
Scarborough
and
it's
probably
right
across
the
city
in
the
GTA
and
it's
things
like
the
poverty
reduction
strategy.
Where
we're
looking
at
a
fair
value
pass,
we
already
give
help
children
under
the
age
of
12.
We
don't
charge
them
for
transit
youth,
Hobbs,
breakfast
programs,
all
very
necessary
components
of
the
poverty
reduction
strategy.
L
L
It's
more
trying
to
understand
so
people
that
are
only
in
the
shelter
system
temporarily
and
families
in
particular,
because
if,
for
example,
if
you
look
at
the
stat
the
statistics
for
the
last
two
days,
all
of
the
family
shelters
were
full
100%.
Full.
The
family
motels
were
83%
full
and
I
like
to
better
understand
why
our
shell
family
shelters,
for
example,
or
at
100
percent
capacity.
Okay,
I'm.
D
B
D
Life
I
think
that
you
have
a
much
better
rate
of
success
and
and
I
think
this
is
an
important
part
of
it.
Our
city
is
growing
at
a
very,
very
fast
pace,
but
what
we
also
see
growing
in
our
city
at
a
very,
very
fast
pace,
is
the
inequality
and
and
I
think
that
us
us,
as
a
city
trying
to
ensure
that
we
have
a
poverty
strategy
that
we
bring
in
the
tools
to
target
that
inequality
on
the
issues
that
we
can
affect.
D
The
same
way
in
our
city
and
I,
know,
and
recognizing
that
and
making
sure
that
we're
doing
everything
we
can
so
that
we
provide
those
opportunities
to
everybody
in
our
city,
every
child
in
our
city
or
youth
in
our
city,
every
city
and
ours,
every
senior
in
our
city
and
everybody
in
our
city
is
really
important.
Of
course,
critics
can
always
say
that
we
can
move
faster.
We
can
move
quicker.
D
Of
course,
you
know
we
could
have
an
ideal
word
and
I
wish
that
was
it,
but
I
think
that
that
we
have
a
poverty
strat,
a
strategy
that
is
definitely
taking
important
steps
and
I
think
today
we're
taking
another
important
step
and
and
recognizing
that
this
is
something
that
we
need
to
continue
to
invest.
We
need
to
continue
to
monitor
and
we
need
to
continue
to
ensure
that
we're
getting
positive
results.
F
F
It's
really
important
to
me
and
I
know
I've
been
speaking
to
staff
and
some
of
the
agencies
that
that
are,
in
my
ward,
for
example,
front
lines
and
the
falstaff
community,
those
two
communities
to
me
as
a
priority.
So
I
would
like
to
see
something
I
like
to
us
to
focus
on
it
in
something
happening
sooner
rather
than
later,
and
that's
the
reason
for
my
motion.
O
Just
very
briefly,
Thank
You
staff
for
the
work
on
the
file
thanking
councillor
Perez
or
his
leadership
on
it.
Mara
Torre,
for
your
leadership.
Clearly,
when
you
look
through
here,
were
adopting
a
lot
of
continuity
moving
forward,
many
of
the
things
that
we
passed
in
the
last
term
that
came
through
committee,
many
of
the
key
strategies
that
that
staff
have
recommended
that
many
community
groups
have
advocated
for
and
that
we've
put
a
funding
model
together.
I
think
I
would
agree.
Certainly
when
it
comes
to
this.
O
The
comments
made
my
staff
that
this
can
only
be
fully
successful
if
you
have
all
levels
of
government
at
the
table.
When
you
look
at
early
childhood
interventions
and
special
education,
clearly
that's
Ministry
of
Education
and
and
school
board
pieces
and
to
wellness.
We
handle
some
of
that
ourselves
through
Toronto
Public
Health,
but
it
is
also
a
ministry
of
health
issue.
O
As
well,
when
it
comes
to
seniors,
I've
always
said
that
the
best
way,
the
long
long-term
strategy
for
helping
seniors
and
poverty,
either
in
the
housing
piece
or
just
some
day-to-day
affordability,
is
Israeli
pension
reform
governments
cannot
put
stopped
measures
top
gate
measures
into
backstop,
a
society
in
which
we
have
an
increasing
number
of
seniors
who
are
who
are
suffering
from
financial
hardship
and
poverty.
It's
something
that
we
have
to
look
at
at
the
federal
level
and
maybe
even
the
provincial
level
for
for
pension
reform.
O
That
being
said,
I
think
that
what
we
have
before
us
is
is
a
pretty
strong
roadmap.
We've
got
to
be
honest
with
ourselves
as
we
go
forward.
If
those
programs
that
are
working,
we
continue
to
fund
them
and
keep
them
going.
But
we
have
to
be
honest
with
ourselves
that,
if
program,
certain
programs
are
not
working,
we
have
to
have
the
political
will
to
to
take
those
funds
and
put
them
reinvest
them
into
programs
that
that
are
working.
O
O
At
the
same
time,
there
are
measures
here
to
prevent
various
residents
and
families
from
going
into
poverty,
but
we've
got
to
look
to
our
federal
and
provincial
counterparts
to
come
to
the
table
to
help
fund
many
of
the
programs
that
are
beyond
the
scope
of
this
of
this
package
and
help
us
get
the
job
done.
Thank
you.
B
This
is
a
very
big
piece
of
work.
It's
a
complicated
piece
of
work.
It
involves
trying
to
draw
together
initiatives
that
end
up
finding
their
way
through
and
out
of
many
different
departments
of
the
government
and
I
want
acknowledged
their
efforts
and
also
counselor
fruits.
He
has
been
somebody
that
it's
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
on
this
I
think,
as
you
know,
from
his
speeches
that
council
those
that
don't
see
him
in
private
circumstances
that
he
says.
What's
on
his
mind,
he
has
a
few
nutty
ideas
on
motorcycles
and
things
like
that.
B
But
on
this
he's
very
committed
I.
Think
to
trying
to
see
us
do
better,
but
also
you
know
responsible
within
the
context
of
you
know.
I
think
follow
along
was
something
that
I
believe
in
very
strongly,
which
is
not
making
commitments.
You
can't
keep
you
know,
we've
got
to
say
that
we're
gonna
do
these
things
and
that's
the
beauty
of
the
document
that
has
the
annual
work
plan
in
it.
B
It's
not
100
million
80
million
dollars
total
up
over
the
years
that
all
repeats
itself
because
it
carries
on
these,
are
by
and
large,
not
time
limited
programs,
though
I
will
say,
and
to
really
respond
to
something
that
I
think
it
was
constituency,
a
decider
counselor
pasternak
a
minute
ago.
I
am
I,
don't
look
forward
to
to
curtailing
any
program,
but
I
look
forward
to
having
the
opportunity
to
look
at
our
professional
staff.
B
Their
assessment
of
these
programs
in
a
fair
ones
that
aren't
working
and
others
that
are
working
I,
will
have
no
hesitation
in
saying
take
the
money
from
the
ones
that
aren't
working
and
reallocated
to
the
ones
that
are
because
we
know
there
isn't
an
unending
supply
of
money.
Even
for
this
and
I
think
we
have
to
be
sort
of
fairly
hard-nosed
and
probably
haven't
undertaken.
B
That
kind
of
view
and
I
want
to
commend
both
the
counselor
Carol
and
a
deputy
mayor
Thompson
for
initiating
this
181
million
68,000
low-income
residents
getting
a
fair
pass
today
before
we
expanded
one
hundred
and
two
million
free
rides,
kids
12
and
under
on
the
TTC
55,000,
more
kids
included
in
student
nutrition,
eighteen
centers
in
low-income
neighborhoods
that
have
rec
programs
for
kids,
18
and
under
for
free.
So
that's
just
a
few
of
the
things
that
have
been
accomplished
so
far
and
I
am
very
optimistic.
B
With
this
program,
that's
in
front
of
us,
we
will
be
able
to
recite
similar
significant
improvements
in
the
number
of
people
that
are
being
helped
four
years
from
now,
there's
a
housing
action
plan
coming.
These
are
all
part
of
this
program.
The
transit
discount
plan
is
going
to
be
expanded.
There's
an
urban
indigenous
poverty
reduction
plan,
which
I
think
it's
very
important.
It
didn't
get
much
mentioned
today,
but
there
is
something
that's
a
source
of
both
challenge
and
shame
for
us
contact
frankly,
not
even
within
the
context
of
truth
and
reconciliation.
B
Just
within
the
context
of
a
group
that
needs
to
receive
more
attention
from
us
and
more
support
from
us.
Continued
expansion
of
the
library
open
hours,
we
did
discuss
continued
implementation
of
the
ten-year
child
care
plan.
I'll
come
back
to
that
in
respect
to
the
other
governments
and
then
finally,
the
thing
that
probably
doesn't
get
focused
on
in
as
acute
a
way
as
I
would
say
that
it
needs
to
be.
B
But
it's
come
up
today
in
the
context
of
community
benefits
and
social
procurement,
but
that's
jobs,
jobs,
jobs,
I,
call
it
I
mean
there
is
nothing
that
we're
going
to
do.
That
is
going
to
be
more
effective
at
lifting
people
out
of
poverty
in
the
city,
then,
to
continue
to
attract
the
investment
and
jobs
and
smart
people
from
around
the
world
to
create
jobs,
but
then
also
to
follow
through
and
make
sure
that
people
in
different
parts
of
the
city
that
seem
like
they're.
B
Sometimes
a
hundred
miles
away
from
here,
have
access
to
those
jobs,
because
today
I
don't
think
we
could
look
each
other
in
the
eye
and
say
that
that
there's
equitable
access
to
the
jobs
that
are
being
created
in
the
tens
and
tens
of
thousands
in
the
city.
Right
now
between
someone
who
lives
say
in
Rexdale
or
Malvern
and
who
maybe
lives
somewhere
else
in
the
city.
And
it's
not
just
a
matter
of
where
you
live.
But
it's
the
circumstances
in
which
you
live,
and
so
I
certainly
can
pledge
myself
to
that
kind
of
work.
B
B
Think
I'm
within
the
I
spoke
to
the
entire
economic
summit
last
night
and
and
I
had
this
very
nice
speech
that
sort
of
recited
a
whole
bunch
of
statistics
about
how
well
Toronto
was
doing
and
I
thought
that,
frankly,
would
just
aggravate
all
the
people
from
other
parts
of
the
problem.
So
I
didn't
really
say
that
I
said
Toronto
was
doing
well,
but
I
said
really
what's
important
is
how
do
we
continue
to
do?
Well?
B
What
do
we
have
to
do,
and
I
talked
in
particular
about
them
having
to
continue
to
invest
in
education,
not
decrease
it
not
cut
it
back,
invest
more
in
education
because
it's
smart
people
that
are
carrying
us
I
talked
about
the
need
for
a
work
force,
development
strategy,
a
real
one
with
dates
and
times
and
targets,
and
that's
come
up
today
in
the
context
of
skilled
trades.
It
was
mentioned
by
at
least
one
of
the
deputies,
but
I
also
said
they,
those
other
governments
that
I
was
speaking
in
this
case.
B
Provincial
II
have
to
not
invest
less
but
invest
more
in
some
of
the
supports
that
are
going
to
help
us
because
they're
part
of
poverty
reduction,
child
care,
mental
health
housing,
especially
I'll
call
it
specialized
housing,
whether
it's
temporary
shelters
or
supportive
housing,
and
we
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
do
this
alone.
We
all
said
that
today,
everybody
I
think
said
it
in
their
speeches
in
there
everybody's
right.
We
can't
do
it
alone.
We
need
partners,
plural
I'm,
actually
optimistic
in
the
aftermath
of
the
federal
election.
B
There
are
some
things
coming
that
will
make
things
a
bit
better.
I
think
they
there
were
commitments
made
to
increase
the
Child
Benefit.
There
were
commitments
made
to
help
students
and
various
other
groups
that
were
commitments
made
on
mental
health
and
housing.
So
I
think
that's,
you
know
room
for
encouragement,
but
we
can't
do
this
alone
and
we
need
more
investments,
not
less.
The
minority
government
gives
me
some
reason
to
believe
that
there
will
be
some
things
that
maybe
we
weren't
expecting
that
might
come,
but
I
just
think
this
is
a
good
piece
of
work.
B
It's
a
good
foundation
on
which
we
can
base
our
efforts
and
I.
Think
the
year
by
your
work
plan
is
going
to
help.
Keep
us
disciplined
and
I
know
councillor
uproots.
It
will
help
us
the
Advocate
from
the
City
Council.
For
that
so
I
hope
people
will
see
they're
very
clear
support,
I,
think
all
the
motions
are
deserving
of
support
and-
and
this
plan
can
go
through
our
board,
with
a
good,
solid
vote
to
the
City
Council,
for
hopefully
unanimous
approval.
Thank
you.
B
So
are
we
ready
to
deal
with
emotions?
We
have
a
few
and
they
start
with
motion
we'll
get
these
up
in
the
screen
motion
one
a
from
kind
for
Ainslie
to
do
with
tracking
information
on
homeless
deaths.
I'll
just
call
the
question
on
these.
If
we're
already
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried
motion,
one
be
technology
officer
to
create
open
data
on
limited
emergency
housing.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
to
carry
motion.
B
One
see
general
manager
to
create
an
open
data
set
on
unsheltered
street
homeless
to
general
population
as
a
ratio.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
carry
motion
to
from
deputy
mayor
bylaw,
requesting
the
deputy
manager
to
report
on
the
human
services
integration
on
an
annual
basis
to
the
executive
committee.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
carried
motion.
Three
councillor
Nunziata
ways
to
accelerate
the
youth
service
review.
B
A
B
O
B
O
Speak
up
so
I'll
start
again
is
this:
is
this
directed
towards
someone
who
builds
condominium
and
doesn't
occupy
it?
So
it's
not
owner
occupied,
they
don't
rent
it
out.
They
don't
go
through
some
kind
of
home
share
service,
Airbnb
or
and
or
is
this
more
on
the
period
in
between
approval
for
demolition
of
rental
and
rental
replacement,
occupancy
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
how
this
can
work
in
any
way
I'm.
Maybe
you
can
clarify
so.
D
I
mean
that's
what
we're
asking
for
an
update.
It
has
worked
in
Vancouver
in
Washington
and
Paris
many
other
cities
around
the
world.
It
is
for
basically
properties
that
are
locked
up,
so
it
is
for
properties
that,
instead
of
being
used
as
a
home,
so
you
can
be
it
could
be
some
of
these
investment,
but
it
is
rented
out
to
somebody
as
well
and
it's
basically
the
locked
up
there
empty
a
lot
of
them.
D
Sometimes
people
don't
even
go
in
and
it's
just
locked
up
and
it
doesn't
have
the
use
of
being
somebody's
home,
so
we're
just
trying
to
make
sure
that
those
thousands
of
properties
that
might
be
in
the
market
out
there
that
we
incentivize
either
to
be
in
the
rental
market
or
then
to
get
into
ownership.
Whatever
people
decide
to
do
with
them
or
not,
people
will
have
the
option
to
to
do
that,
but
obviously
they're
creating
a
pressure
in
our
market
in
our
housing
market,
both
in
the
rental
and
and
ownership.
D
D
Are
sold
and
they're
unoccupied,
it's
people,
it's
it's!
It's
people
that
you
know
they're
it's
in
there,
just
staying
there
as
an
investment
and
not
being
somebody's
home
right
and
which
is
fine
if
you
want
to
invest
in
properties.
But
what
we're
asking
is
that,
if
that's
your
investment,
you,
you
pay
a
different
rate
than
if
you
are
renting
it
out
or
you're
owning
the
property.
So.
O
D
For
example,
Vancouver
has
a
voluntary
form
which
I
know,
for
example,
is
concerning
because
it's
voluntary,
but
even
with
this,
they
were
able
to
collect
thirty
eight
million
dollars
in
their
first
year.
So
again,
I
think
that
we
need
to
look
into
into
how
to
implement
it.
We
need
to
have
our
staff
doing
the
work
and
we
need
to
have
their
advice
as
well,
but.
D
It
as
as
incentivize,
rentals
and
and
and
if
and
people
will
have
the
choice,
the
person
that
has
bought
one
two,
ten
twenty
units
and
just
wants
to
have
it
sit
there
locked
up
probably
never
walked
into
some
of
these
units.
They
have
the
right
to
do
so,
but
that
has
a
cost
to
us
because,
as
you
know,
in
council,
you
know
we
are
investing
a
lot
in
affordable
housing.
We
as
government's
all
our
tax
payers,
we're
spending
millions
of
dollars
in
creating
affordable
housing,
because
housing
is.
This
is
an
issue
in
our
city.
D
People
can't
afford
to
live
in
here.
We
are
investing
millions
of
dollars
and
and
we're
speeding
up
planning
process.
We're
doing
all
this
to
then
have
thousands
of
units
locked
up
I
think
that,
yes,
people
have
the
right
to
do
it,
but
as
a
society
that
has
a
cost
and
I
think
somebody
has
to
pay
for
that
cost
or
help
us
pay
for
that
cost.
So
we.
B
Right
other
any
other
questions
of
the
mover.
Otherwise
we
can
go
to
questions
of
I.
Guess
there
any
questions
if
she
is
I
want
to
make
sure
there
were
no
other
questions
of
staff.
Other
speakers,
all
right,
I
will
speak.
Very
brief,
then
simply
see
I'll
just
start.
The
clock
won't
take
that
long.
I
strongly
support
asking
for
this
report.
B
I
think
when
I
I
brought
this
forward
in
the
wake
of
all
the
changes
that
were
made
in
2017
and
in
fact
we
got
the
permission
of
the
Prophet,
so
we
have
legislative
permission
to
do
this,
but
when
we
asked
our
staff
earlier
on,
this
was
a
couple
of
years
ago
now
there
seemed
to
be
a
maze
of
implementation
complexities
that
made
it
something
that
was
at
the
time
marginal.
But
we
now
have
his
two
more
years.
B
Experience
of
seeing
what's
been
done
elsewhere
and
we
have
two
more
years
of
seeing
what's
going
on
in
the
marketplace,
with
respect
to
units
that
are
being
held
off
or
held
out
of
the
marketplace
and
I
think
we
owe
it
to
ourselves.
We
owe
it
to
the
housing
market
and
and
the
need
for
more
housing
to
be
made
available
to
people
to
examine
two
years
later.
What
the
lay
of
the
land
is.
B
So
I
think
this
is
the
most
responsible
way
to
go
about
this,
which
is
to
ask
the
staff
for
report
which
I
gather
is
forthcoming
fairly
early
on
in
the
new
year
and
then
we'll
see.
You
know
we'll
see
what
what
those
complexities
are
today
and
what
the
opportunities
are
today
to
produce
more
housing,
because
it
isn't
about
the
money.
B
It's
about
making
people
make
a
choice,
and
if
they
don't
want
to
put
their
units
into
the
marketplace,
it
is
their
freedom
to
make
that
choice,
but
they
should
pay
because
there
is
a
cost
for
us
to
have
to
produce
the
housing
to
put
people
in
that
are
coming
to
the
city.
So
I
just
want
to
say,
I
strongly
support.
Council
bylaws,
mayor.
D
Don't
know
why
it
always
stuck
in
my
in
the
back
of
my
head,
like
how
does
there's
there's
not
an
acknowledgement,
there's
not
something
looking
into
us
and
just
thinking
that
there's
potentially
28
thousand
units
out
there
that
are
locked
that
are
as
an
investment,
not
as
somebody's
home,
and
if
we
don't
tackle
this
issue,
just
let
it
grow.
What
is
the
impact
in
a
downturn
that
this
could
have
on
the
housing
market
and
for
us
not
to
look
into
this
issue?
I
think
is
highly
unresponsible
all.
B
Right,
if
there
are
no
other
speakers,
I
think
we
can
then
just
call
a
question
on
councillor
Milo's
motion
here
or
her
request
for
a
report
to
ask
the
city
manager
to
bring
forward
a
report
with
the
2020
budget
on
a
vacant
home
tax
and
all
that's
involved
with
that,
and
so
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carry.
Are
there
any
other
items
of
business
for
today
otherwise
adjourn
the
meeting
and
with
thanks
to
everybody
for
their
cooperation,
it's
sitting
in
the
chair
the
whole
time
to
make
sure
we
kept
our
quorum.
Thank
you
very
much.
