A
A
Think
we
are
ready
to
begin.
Ladies
and
gentlemen
of
the
committee
and
ladies
and
gentlemen
of
the
public,
who
are
here
with
us.
We
have
quorum
and
I
will,
as
a
result,
call
together
the
meaning
of
the
eighth
meeting
of
the
executive
committee
and
call
the
meeting
to
order.
We
acknowledge
the
land
we're
meeting
on
is
the
traditional
territory
of
many
nations,
including
the
Mississauga's
of
the
credit,
the
Anishinaabe,
the
Chippewa,
the
Honda
Shoni
and
the
wind
at
people's
and
is
now
home
to
many
diverse
First,
Nations,
Inuit
and
maytee
peoples.
A
We
also
acknowledge
that
Toronto
is
covered
by
treaty
13,
with
the
Mississauga's
of
the
credit
for
members
of
the
public.
They
can
watch
us
on
YouTube
at
Toronto,
City,
Council,
live
or
follow
the
meeting
on
their
computer
tablet
or
smartphone
at
WWDC
a
back
slash
council.
I
will
first
ask
the
members
of
the
committee
if
there
are
any
declarations
of
interest
under
the
municipal
conflict
of
interest
act.
If
so,
please
indicate
the
item
number
and
the
nature
of
the
interest.
Any
declarations
of
interest
this
morning,
all
right,
seeing
none
we
can
move
on,
may
I.
A
Ask
first
for
a
motion
to
confirm
the
minutes
of
the
executive
committee
held
on
July
4th
2019
moved
by
councillor
Ainsley,
all
those
in
favor.
We
have
to
show
to
show
that
September
beautiful
September
day
energy
of
putting
your
hand
up
to
say
you're
in
favor
opposed
Kerry.
Thank
you.
I
would
like
to
add
an
item
of
new
business
and
it's
I.
It's
entitled
investing
in
community-based
anti-violence
programs.
A
I
think
you
have
the
item
before
you
on
pink
paper,
and
it
really
is
just
to
make
sure
that
when
we
come
to
council,
we
can
have
some
additional
advice
beyond
the
discussion
that
was
led
by
councillor
Carroll
at
the
budget
committee.
With
respect
to
some
things,
we
might
do
to
make
some
additional
investments
in
anti-violence
programs
and
we'll
get
to
it.
But
may
I
have
your
concurrence
with
adding
it
to
the
agenda.
A
We
have
26
items
on
the
agenda
before
we
begin
running
through
them.
May
I
ask
that
you
would
agree
to
take
the
three
items
that
pertain
to
Toronto
Community
Housing
operation,
namely
e^x
8.4,
Toronto,
Community,
Housing,
Corporation,
mortgage
renewal,
e^x,
8.8,
federal
funding
for
Toronto,
Community,
Housing,
capital
repairs
and
ex8
point
11,
sustainable
energy
plan
financing
program,
supporting
Toronto,
Community,
Housing,
Corporation,
transform,
tío
and
resiliency
that
we
would
consider
those
together
and
consider
the
most
the
first
three
items
of
business
today.
A
This
is
in
the
interests
of
having
executives
from
the
Toronto
Community
Housing
Corporation
here
and
devoting
as
little
time
as
possible
to
this.
So
they
can
get
back
to
implementing
these
things
and
other
things
that
they're
working
on
our
people,
favorably
disposed
to
or
during
the
agenda
in
that
manner.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
carry
so
I.
A
Think
that
puts
us
in
a
position
where
we
can
now
proceed
with
the
rundown
of
the
items
and
so
we'll
go
through
Trance
8.1
item
IX
8.1
transfer,
payment
agreement
for
provincial
audit
and
accountability
fund
grant
moved
by
Councillor
deputy
mayor
Menon
Wang.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
carry
item
PX,
8.2
development
charges,
complaints,
delegation
of
hearing
authority
under
the
Education
Act
and
the
development
charges
act
as
a
remover
for
that
moved
by
councillor
Ainsley.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
carry
item.
A
Ex8
point
sorry,
I've
skipped
over
three,
whereas
there
it
is
three
is
City
of
Toronto
investment
report
for
2018.
In
first
quarter
of
2019
and
policy
update
somebody
prepared
to
move
that
receipt
of
that
report
moved
by
councillor
Crawford.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
to
carry
item
IX
8.4
we're
going
to
well.
We
could
we
can
see
if
there's
other,
is
there
anybody
wishing
to
hold
that
they'll
be
held
by
councillor
by
law?
Are
you
holding
8.4
deputy
mayor
the
mortgage
renewal?
No
you're
prepared
to
move
it?
B
A
Well,
I
think
what
we
would
do,
though,
is
have
that
speakers
speak
to
the
8.8
part
of
this
when
we
deal
with
eight
point,
four
eight
point
eight
and
eight
point
eleven.
So
we'll
still
do
that,
but
it
means
eight
point.
Four
is
now
would
be
deemed
as
scary,
because
there
are
no
speakers
and
no
no
comments
from
here.
So
I
think
we'll
we'll
deal
with
them
together,
but
we'll
deal
with
what's
left
to
be
dealt
with,
which
will
include
that
one
I.
B
B
A
Okay,
fair
enough,
so
we'll
hope,
we'll
hold
down
eight
point
four,
because
you're
dealing
with
those
three
together.
Thank
you.

Yes,
I
see

that
see
the
wording
and
okay,
alright.
So
there's
the
wording
in
front
of
you
on
the
screen
so
on
councillor,
Crawford
has
moved
an
amendment
and,
and
it

the
emotion
as
I'm
in

Did

Okay,

This
is
a

from
the
accessibility,
Advisory

and
it
has
us
giving
some
direction
to
the
city
manager
on
accessibility,
issues
of
being
reviewed
together
with
all
the
other
things
that
are
being
reviewed
on.

Parades

carried
item
e
ex

request

the
feasibility
of
a
public
event
and
recognition
of
International
Day
of
people
with
disabilities
on
December
3rd
2019.
And
this
is
us
asking
the
chief
people
officer,
people
in
equity,
to
explore
the
feasibility
of
a
public
event
move
by
deputy
I'm.
Sorry.
A
What
is
ready,
Oh,
fine,
okay,
if
it's
ready,
then
let's
can
we
put
it
up
the
amendment
that
we're
looking
at
here
there
we
are,
and
so
it's
just
really
changed
today.
Does
that
always
change?
Okay,
so
deputy
mayor
Barlow
has
moved
the
recommendation
as
amended
simply
to
change
the
date
to
November
1st
2019
and
she's
moved
that
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried
and
then
we'll
hold
down
the
the
again
counselor
care.
We
rehearsed
specifically
to
speak
to
to
this
anti
violence
thing
because
I'm
happy
too.
E
A
A
Yes,
so
there
were
so
I
guess
what
we
should
do.
First
is
deal
with
the
deputation
of
which
there's
only
one
on
the
three
items
to
do
that
are
being
taken
together.
So
let's
hear
that
deputation
then
we'll
get
mr.
Marshburn
and
anybody
else,
that's
appropriate
to
answers
questions
to
stop
so
Miguel
you're
up
on
item
eight
point:
eight
federal
funding
for
a
Toronto,
Community,
Housing
capital
repairs.
G
You
Miss
familiar
welcome
to
Federal
Elections
2019,
where
politicians
promise
money,
so
1.3
billion
dollars
was
promised
in
April
this
year
for
Toronto
Community
Housing.
What
we
doing
today
is
what
we
discussed
at
the
ball
last
week.
Here's
the
item
on
the
screen,
cabinets
behind
me
staff
or
the
community
housing
we
discussed
the
sighting
was
approved,
but
several
people.
G
It
was
a
walking
motion.
By
the
way
this
was
a
walking
motion.
We
several
people
who
had
decided
to
speak
on
this
on
this
promise.
Mr.
mayor,
we
we
in
the
city
have
four
items
of
importance
for
the
community
one
of
the
in
safety.
We
cannot
chip
be
cheap
with
our
residents.
When
we
comes
to
our
installation
or
CCTV
cameras.
G
Do
you
know
that
phase
2
of
Regent
Park?
They
miss
out
installation
of
cameras
on
each
floor
versus
phase
3
or
the
revalued
decision?
All
of
them
had
cameras.
You
help
you
hear
me
talking
of
this
matter.
At
the
Toronto
Police
Services
world
I
took
I,
took
mr.
consul
Michael
forth,
for
a
ride
to
220
oak
I
mean
and
to
3-0
Sackville,
and
he
saw
the
absence
of
cameras.
I
have
a
petition
here:
I
have
received
verbal
confirmation
that
to
Tony
Hawk
finally
is
going
to
have
cameras.
G
I
wanna
think
that
the
leadership
or
tche
for
installing
the
cameras
in
the
hallways,
a
220
oak
from
the
28th
to
the
2nd
floor.
But
but
somehow
there
was
a
technical
glitch.
They
tell
me
that
they
did
if
they
did
install
the
cameras
on
the
hall
on
the
staircases
on
the
stairwells
for
the
safety
of
members
of
EMS
first
responders,
and
they
also
allege
that
it
was
costly.
G
So
hopefully,
with
this
promise
of
1.3
million
dollars
from
the
federal
government,
we
will
have
cameras
at
Phase
two
or
the
rivality
decision,
because
we
always
expect
about
how
bad
nificent
is
the
rivality
station,
but
underneath
and
the
layer
their
their
problems
and
it
they
need
to
be
address.
Put
forward
because
members
of
the
community
has
nice
talking
about
increase
in
toronto
police
officer.
They
have
spoken
about
CCTV
cameras,
so
I
want
ask
the
clear
I
want
to
hit
this
to
the
clerk.
G
G
I
want
to
suggest
what
are
we
put
a
city
clerk
on
that
end
or
the
table,
because
sometimes
you
walk
in
motion
today.
That
leads
with
councillor
Carol
I
want
to
have
a
car
copy,
and
in
this
is
Kerry
to
go
through
the
security
guard
over
there
and
I
wonder
if
you
can
have
a
city
clear
where
the
officer
of
people's
is
sitting
right
there,
so
we
can
have
copies
available
or
the
speaker's
leaves
the
agenda,
etcetera,
cetera,
facilitating
the
process
of
securing
bad
intentions
anyway.
So
I
think
I
spoke
out
of
context
here
anyway.
A
You
and
I
will
ask
when
mr.
Marshman
comes
forward,
we'll
ask
about
that
just
as
within
the
context
of
this
item
since
you've
been
ok,
taking
the
trouble
to
come
here
today.
Thank
you,
we'll
take
your
petition.
Thank
you
very
much.
Are
there
any
sorry?
Are
there
any
questions
of
the
deputy?
Ok,
all
right,
so
that's
the
one
and
only
deputation
on
those
three
items,
and
so
if
the
committee
is
agreeable,
then
we'll
ask
mr.
Thank
You
Miguel
will
ask
mr.
Marshburn
to
come
forward
and
with
with
mrs.
penny
and.
A
So
I
think
it
is
sensible
that
we
should
sort
of
make
sure
we
cover
each
of
these
items
in
terms
of
questions
of
staff
and
we'll
try
and
do
it,
even
though
we're
hearing
them
together
one
at
a
time,
and
so
that
would
mean
first
of
the
three
items.
I
think
is.
Eight
is
eight
point
eight
and
are
eight
point
four
just
go
looking
for
my.
A
A
Properties,
questions
of
staff
on
that
okay,
then
I'll
move
to
questions
of
staff
on
e
ex
eight
point:
eight
federal
funding
for
Toronto,
Community,
Housing
capital
repairs
well,
I'll
just
have
one
because
it
really
just
feeds
off
I'll
put
the
clock
on
myself
here.
It
feeds
off
mister
a
var
days
deputation.
H
One
of
the
challenges
we
find
actually
in
stairwells
and-
and
you
know
we're
looking
at
how
to
overcome
that-
is
there-
the
cameras
are
relatively
low,
so
they
can
easily
be
vandalized
and
no
purpose
in
putting
a
camera
in
that.
That
obviously,
is
not
going
to
work
more
often
than
it
is
going
to
work,
and
so
so
that's
you
know
some
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
and
we're
looking
at
solutions
around
that
where
we
can
still
get
the
same
effect.
You
know
in
terms
of
improving
safety
and
security,
has.
A
There
been
a
concurrence
as
between
the
buildings
that
we've
identified
as
ones
where
there's
elevated
levels
of
sometimes
criminal
activity,
and
certainly
a
you
know,
socially
disruptive
behavior
and
where
we're
looking
at
putting
these
cameras.
In
other
words,
are
we
taking
the
areas
that
are
the
subject
matter
of
our
our
safety
program
and
and
looking
at
those
first
with
these
audits
and
making
sure
that
we
exhaust
all
possible
positive
opportunities
to
install
cameras?
If
so,.
H
So
yes,
we've
identified,
you
know,
ten
high
needs
communities
within
within
our
portfolio
and
those
are
our
primary
areas.
They
also
tend
to
be
the
ones
we
are
looking
at,
adding
additional
CSU
officers
in
terms
of
hours
of
coverage
and
dedicated
coverage.
You
you
heard
us
talk
about
that
with
regard
to
the
Falstaff
community,
you
know
about
a
month
ago
and
we
actually
implemented
that
plan
on
September
5th,
and
there
are
other
communities
that
we
are
rolling
out
the
next
month.
Okay,.
A
A
I
And
thank
you.
We
we
did
do
that
safety
audit,
a
Falstaff
and
I
believe
that
it
was
very
successful
on
I,
believe
we're
having
a
second
one,
but
just
a
question
on.
So
all
we
identified
a
number
of
deficiencies
and
the
increase
in
lighting
when
we
went
up
for
that
audit
and
as
well,
is
that
I
also
had
tronto
hydro
there
to
look
at
the
increased
lighting
as
far
as
the
street
level,
because
sometimes
the
the
lights
on
the
street,
you
know
you
need
to
increase
the
lighting
as
well.
I
So
are
we
in
those
in
those
areas
where
we
need
to
partner
is
well
with
Toronto
Hydro,
where
they
have
to
do
an
assessment
of
the
street?
Are
we
working
with
them
to
to
to
also
increase
the
lighting
and
the
security
where
it's
a
buddy?
You
know
where
we
have
buildings
like
the
Falstaff
building.
Yes,.
H
I
think
that
the
general
approach,
when
we're
looking
at
a
property
is
we
is.
We
will
look
in
terms
of
the
writing.
Sorry,
the
lighting
that
we
are
responsible
for,
but
we'll
also
have
a
perspective,
and
this
is
actually
before
we
conduct
the
the
formal
audit.
Counselor
will
have
a
perspective
as
to
you
know,
do
we
need
to
engage
the
city,
and
in
this
case
you
know
Toronto
Hydro,
to
work
with
us
in
terms
of
street
lighting
as
well,
so
that
they
that's
the
long
answer.
The
short
answer
is
yes
right.
H
F
I
H
I
Just
just
a
question:
the
state
of
good
repair,
so
the
city
of
good
repair,
your
capital
projects
that
you're
doing
in
our
buildings,
but
when
it
comes
to
regular
maintenance,
for
example,
what
happened
that
fall
stuff
a
couple
weeks
ago
where
the
the
tenant
had
a
hole
in
the
wall?
There
was
a
flood
in
the
unit
and
we
went
and
just
just
repaired
it
but
kept
this
big
hole
where
there's
there
were
cockroaches
and
so
forth
in
the
wall.
Isn't
that
just
part
of
the
regular
maintenance
like?
H
It
so
that's
a
it's
it's
a
two-fold
as
I
looked
at
the
pictures,
and
certainly
I'm
not
an
engineer
or
an
architect,
so
I'm,
just
a
regular
guy.
Looking
at
pictures,
it
looked
like
the
the
risers
in
that
building
when
I
looked
at
at
it
once
it
was
fixed.
You
know
that
they're,
the
risers,
you
know
we're
clearly
old
and
you
know
in
need
of
replacement.
H
So
that's
in
the
big
capital
repair
program,
the
you
know,
having
an
incident
and
maintenance
incident
at
your
location
should
not
take
as
long
as
it
has
historically
taken
and
part
of
our
objective
in
the
restructuring
plan
and
moving
that
decision-making.
Shortening
the
time
frame
for
approval,
putting
more
you
know,
authority
and
autonomy
in
the
hands
of
the
superintendent
and
and
their
staffs
are
to
get
at
that
to
get
a
solution
faster,
counselor,
yes,.
I
D
H
The
inflow
of
water
into
that
bucket
has
been
at
a
faster
rate
than
the
outflow
of
us
actually
repairing
buildings,
and
so,
as
a
result,
the
backlog
continues
to
grow.
The
FCI
continues
to
go
on
the
FCI,
for
all
councillors
is
the
facilities
condition
index
of
a
building.
Our
goal
is
to
be
at
10%
and
over
the
plan
we
will
get
to
that
goal,
but
it
peaks
in
the
next
couple
of
years
and
then
starts
to
come
down.
Counselor.
D
D
D
D
City
manager,
so
one
of
the
ways-
and
one
of
prerequisites
of
this
program
is
energy
savings.
So
this
is
a
program
for
affordable
housing,
but
it's
required
that
there's
some
energy
savings
as
well.
What
is
he
going
to
be
Arlen's
as
the
guarantor
of
all
this
to
ensure
that,
throughout
these
years
the
program
is
being
implemented
and
the
energy
savings
are
because
soon
our
is
TC
HC
reporting
to
you
or
finance
annually
like
how
what's
gonna
be
your
lens
to?
Let
us
know
that
this
is
on
track
and
we're
gonna
be
okay,.
J
So
if
I
can
probably
the
person
the
best
to
speak
to
this
is
just
walking
to
the
mic
right
now.
But
I
will
add
this,
though,
that
the
senior
leadership
of
Toronto,
Community,
Housing
and
ourselves
myself
in
particular,
meet
on
a
monthly
basis
to
kind
of
ensure
that
major
priorities
are
being
addressed.
I
mean
this
is
25
percent
requirement
would
be
something
that
we
could
certainly
keep
track
of,
but
there's
probably
a
better
answer
coming
from,
but.
C
D
Will
further
search
this
because
I'm
not
happy
with
this
answer,
but
in
terms
of
the
procurement
I
mean
a
lot
of
money
is
being
spent,
so
300
million
next
year,
350
million.
What
are
we
as
a
city
as
a
guarantor
for
all
these
funds?
Are
we
having
a
look
into
our
our
in
our
audit
plans?
Do
we
have
anything
forecasted
to
look
into
how
this
money
is
being
spent
is
being
effective
so
that
we
can
go
to
our
government
partners
and
to
our
colleagues
in
here
and
saying
we
feel
secure
this?
I
The
chair,
so
through
the
budget
process,
we
will
be
requesting
all
organizations
from
an
agency
perspective,
as
well
as
city
divisions,
to
be
identifying
what
are
the
key
performance
indicators
and
from
a
capital
perspective.
The
key
performance
indicators
are
one
where
the
value
add
is
what
issues
it
addresses.
The
key
performance
indicators
are
an
area
of
priority
for
us
going
into
our
2020
budget
process.
Just
so
two
specific
to
your
question.
H
H
A
B
You
very
much
miss
Muir
through
you
to
the
TCH
Steve
team.
Can
you
give
us
a
breakdown
please
with
respect
to
the
expenditure,
it
seems
that
a
lot
of
calls
that
I
get
to
my
office.
It's
around
the
individual
units
in
terms
of
the
repairs
that
are
needed
in
those
units.
Some
cases
where
the
kitchen,
for
example,
has
seen
a
tremendous.
B
I
would
say,
decline
in
terms
of
walls,
ceiling,
even
doors
and
even
floors
and
bathrooms,
and
things
like
that.
Do
you
have
a
breakdown
with
respect
to
how
you
will
spend
this
fund
a
lot
of
what
I
am
sort
of
gathering
from
what's
here
is
facade
external
repairs
and
entrance
and
so
on,
but
it
doesn't
address
some
of
the
more
fundamental
challenges
in
terms
of
people
and
place
and
space.
So
how
will
you
utilize
these
funds
to
address
some
of
those
more
fundamental
issues?
Just.
H
H
F
An
excellent
question-
and
we
do
have
in
parallel
to
you-
know,
making
sure
the
roof
is
tight.
The
envelope
windows.
We
have
a
state
of
good
repair
program
where
we
go
into
every
unit
and
replace
kitchens
bathrooms
and
make
repairs
that
are
requested
by
the
tenant
to
bring
the
unit
back
up
to
a
state
of
good
repair.
And
there
is
a
significant
annual
investment
in
that
in.
F
F
K
A
A
K
F
Through
you,
mr.
chair,
there
were
a
number
of
criteria
that
were
used
to
establish
which
buildings
were
looking
at
geographic
spread
across
the
portfolio,
because
these
buildings
will
form
a
network
of
resiliency.
For
our
tenants.
We
looked
at
the
capacity
of
the
building
to
receive
the
system,
the
energy
potential
in
the
buildings.
So
there
were
a
number
of
factors
we
can
provide
the
committee
with
the
list.
It's
a
fairly
in
earlier
board
reports
presented
to
to
our
board.
We
mapped
it.
We
can
provide
that
coverage
or
that
mount
to
the
committee.
Great.
K
K
F
F
E
I
shared
councillor
Pasternak's
concerns,
but
I
asked
the
procurement
questions
at
Budget
Committee.
In
terms
of
of
where
you
do
the
work
when
we're
when
we're
dealing
with
the
energy
retrofit
and
and
projects
of
this
nature,
it's
a
little
harder
for
you
to
say.
Let's
spread
it
out
between
the
four
districts.
Are
the
projects
are
gonna
evaluated,
based
on
whether
whether
the
complex
lends
itself
to
the
retrofit
you're
gonna?
Do
exactly
that's
really
more
the
case
here,
so
you
can't
say
one
for
me,
one
for
you,
one
for
you.
E
A
A
counselor
Carol
any
other
things,
I
think
that
would
be
questions
that
are
exhausted
on
all
three
of
the
items,
but
I'll
just
ask
one
more
time:
if
anybody
else
who
wants
to
ask
any
more
questions
of
the
staff
on
any
of
these
38.4
eight
point
eight
and
eight
point:
11:
okay!
Well,
thank
you
very
much
for
answering
those
questions.
We
could
now
move
to
speakers
councillor
Carol.
Did
you
wish
to
speak?
Yes,.
E
On
item
number
and
I
didn't
ask
any
questions,
because
I
don't
want
to
put
anybody
on
the
spot
if
it's
not
the
case,
but
here's.
What
I
hope
is
the
case.
I
hope
that
in
doing
the
facility's
indexing
looking
for
the
key
performance
indicators
of
a
project
and
and
and
and
where
you
spread
this
money,
that
what's
added
into
deciding
the
condition
of
the
facilities
that
there's
a
social
aspect
added
in
because
I
think
it's
it's
part
of
the
problem
where
we
have
our
more
crime
ridden
complexes.
E
I
have
one
many
counselors
do
I
have
one
where
we've
had
four
gun
fire
incidents
in
12
months
and
people
are
pretty
traumatized.
It's
a
complex
where
there
is
no
key
fob
system
and
hasn't
been
for
10
years.
The
parking
lot
is
as
many
blind
spots
and
is
totally
unsecured
and
and
would
need
major
construction
to
do
so.
So
probably
won't
be
one
of
these
projects.
E
So
I
hope
that
that
the
the
funds
are
grouped
in
such
a
way
that,
yes,
we've
got
to
do
in
unit
repair,
because
that's
that's
the
final
frontier
that
all
the
tenants
are
waiting
for
and
yes,
we
have
some
structural
things
we
want
to
do.
We
have
a
separate
fun
to
to
start
to
save
on
energy,
but
in
prioritizing
all
of
these
facilities
are
in
rough
shape,
but
the
ones
where
the
condition
is
now
such
that
it's
inviting
those
people
in
I
hope
they'll
be
prioritized
because
to
go
in
and
say
to
the
community.
E
Well,
you
got
to
really
make
a
statement
that
you're
on
the
ball
and
you
are
in
the
playground
and
you're
gonna
own
your
community
they're,
not
really
feeling
like
doing
that
and
so
I
hope
some
priority
is
given
to
whatever
is
the
the
social
aspect
of
each
complex
in
deciding
how
to
prioritize
urgent
repairs.
Thank
you.
Those
are
my
comments.
Thanks.
A
Think
Brendan
we're
on
all
we
can
go
through
and
do
we
probably
should
do
it
that
way,
although
it
would
be
very
efficient
if
we
if
people
had
comments,
but
really
we
were
just
on
one
but
could
cover
all
three
and
then
we
could
but
I'll
ask
for
speakers
on
8.4,
which
is
the
mortgage
rule.
Are
there
any
speakers
on
that?
Okay
and
then
we
can
next
move
two
speakers
on
8.8,
which
is
the
federal
funding
item.
Did
you
want
to
speak
on
that
Deborah?
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank.
D
You
I
just
want
to
really
thank
everybody
that
has
been
working
along
the
years,
including
you
mayor's
I.
Think
since
day,
one
that
you
came
here,
you
took
on
this
advocacy
role
with
the
federal
government
to
really
ask
them
to
do
what
they're
supposed
to
do,
which
is
play
their
part
in
in
this
issue.
This
is
these
are
a
hundred
and
ten
thousand
residents
that
with
us,
you
know,
went
all
the
way
to
Ottawa
over
the
years
and
appeal
to
their
MPs
and
advocacy
days,
and
we
had
billboard
campaigns.
D
D
This
is
really
important
because
it's
actually
going
to
give
this
corporation
together
with
the
work
that
we
need
to
do
as
a
city,
the
stability
to
have
a
robust
10-year
plan
having
the
largest
landlord
with
thousands
and
thousands
of
units,
a
work
plan
of
over
300
million
dollars
to
be
rolled
out.
If
you
don't
have
the
certainty
of
where
the
money
is
coming,
it
is
very
hard
to
do
it
efficiently
and
effectively
and
with
the
tenants
in
mind,
mostly
importantly,
and
by
giving
them
the
certainty,
the
roll
out,
it
will
be
much
improved.
D
The
planning
would
be
much,
it
will
be
much
improved,
and
so
it's
not
only
about
getting
the
unit's
fixed.
It's
actually
getting
the
units,
the
unit's
fixed
in
the
most
effective
efficient
way
and
and
with
the
least
impact
to
to
the
tenants,
or
at
least
at
least
negative.
In
fact,
we
wanted
to
have
the
positive
impact.
D
So
I
really
want
to
thank
everybody
that
has
joined
in
in
calling
on
the
federal
government
and
obviously
giving
credit
to
the
federal
government
for
realizing
that
this
is
a
an
investment
that
has
a
huge
ROI.
When
we
started
this
campaign,
we
did
an
economic
impact
study
and
the
number
of
jobs
that
this
create
the
number
of
savings
that
this
creates.
It
is
a
win
situation
for
any
level
of
government
that
invests
in
here.
This
is
we're
not
spending
money,
we're
investing
money
and,
most
importantly,
we're
investing
money
in
our
communities
and
in
our
residents.
D
I
I
You
know
the
individual
units,
because
the
majority
of
calls
that
I
get
in
from
tenants
from
my
buildings
are
individual
units
where
there's
holes
in
the
walls,
things
not
being
repaired
and
so
I
hope
we
can
focus
on
those
that,
because
those
are
real
issues
and
these
are
issues
where
tenants
live
and
eat
and
when
they
have
a
unit,
that's
where
it's
full
of
mold
and
other
issues,
it's
very
difficult
for
them
to
live
in
these
units.
So
that's
really
important
to
me
as
well.
I
So
you
know
I
hope
we
can
focus
on
those
issues
as
well.
For
me,
it's
a
priority
and
the
security
issue
with
the
security
cameras.
I'm
very
pleased
on
what's
happened
with
our
safety
audit
and
fall
stuff,
and
thank
you
to
Co
that
attended.
My
meeting
and
I
know
we're
moving
forward.
Tenants
are
very
pleased
on
how
we're
we're
proceeding
with
those
issues
that
faust
up
and
looking
forward
to
continue
to
work
with
in
all
our
buildings
on
those
issues.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
B
You
very
much
mr.
mayor
and
I
want
to
thank
the
presenters
for
making
their
presentation
this
morning
and
clearly
we
are
challenged
with
respect
to
housing
in
the
City
of
Toronto
or
challenged
with
the
fact
that
we
are
the
largest
landlord
as
it
relates
to
ownership
of
these
these
housing
units
and
so
on
and
I
recall
from
the
period
where
they
were
essentially
downloaded
to
us,
and
it
was
great
celebration
that
the
expectation
was
there'd,
be
resources
associated
with
that
celebration.
That
would
come
along
with
it.
B
Those
resources
really
didn't
come
along
and
we
have
seen
a
great
decline
with
respect
to
many
of
the
units,
many
of
the
buildings
over
the
last
20
years
or
so,
and
in
as
much
as
we
are
working
hard
to
try
to
respond
to
the
you
know
the
complaints
about
the
quality
of
the
the
living
environment
for
many
of
our
residents,
and
we
see
the
decline
in
the
depreciation
in
terms
of
the
the
structural
assets.
It
is
a
huge
problem
and
in
as
much
as
we
are
providing
funding
to
address
this
very
problematic
Matic
issue.
B
I
think
there
are
a
couple
of
things
that
we
need
to
be
mindful
of
one.
This
is
a
place
where
people
live
and
in
as
much
as
the
leadership
of
TC
HC
is
working
hard
to
address
some
of
these
problems.
I,
don't
see
enough
work,
that's
actually
being
done
in
terms
of
collaboration
with
respect
to
residents
to
ensure
that
they
understand
that
this
is
a
place,
while
people
may
have
a
view
about
TCH,
C
and
so
on.
B
B
I
want
to
make
this
last
point
and
I'm
going
to
look
at
TT,
AC
leader,
because
at
10:21
birch
mud
in
as
much
as
the
residents
there,
Laura,
Hammond
and
team
have
worked
really
hard.
We
have
a
facility
there
where
we're
supposed
to
be
a
community
space,
that
space
has
actually
degenerated
to
a
degree
where
the
residents
don't
actually
touch
it
trust
TCH
cease
management.
We
were
brought
in
computers,
monitors
they've,
been
stolen.
The
facility
there
now
has
been
used
for
security
staff
as
opposed
to
the
residents.
B
They
are
deprived
of
the
opportunity
to
do
anything
in
those
units
they
went
about,
painting
the
rooms
and
so
on.
It's
been
removed
from
them.
Now,
that's
not
their
fault
and
as
as
much
as
they'd
like
to
do
more,
we
see
a
situation
that,
because
a
photo
that
was
just
sent
to
me
last
week,
where
the
doors
been
broken
and
all
that
they
have
been
promised
has
not
been
delivered,
no
fault
of
their
own,
because
they're
actually
interested
in
participating.
B
As
I
said
earlier,
residents
have
to
take
a
role
in
terms
of
their
active
space
when
they
try
to
do
that
and
there's
not
the
support.
That's
a
real
problem
and
I
will
say
to
you,
sir,
that
at
this
point
in
time,
the
residents
at
10:21,
birch
melon,
are
actually
very
upset.
Invite
you
to
meet
me
there
with
them
to
address
their
issue.
Thank
you.
Mister
man.
A
This
is
on
item
8.8,
you,
oh,
you
want
to
speak
on
11
right
so
may
I
just
say
a
few
words
on
8.8
if
I
may
and
just
reset
the
clock.
A
What
helped
me
immeasurably
was
the
fact
that
we
had
put
very
serious
money
into
this
from
the
property
tax
payers,
recognizing
that
you
know,
we
believe
I
think
as
one
that
the
property
tax
payers
should
not
be
expected
by
themselves
to
they're,
probably
even
the
one-third
share,
given
the
sources
of
revenue.
We
don't
have
to
finance
this,
but
I
think
the
fact
that
the
City
Council
under
the
previous
administer
the
previous
term
of
office
stepped
up
and
made
the
commitment
that
it
has
which
continues
this
year
and
next
and
will
continue
I
hope
going
forward.
A
I
think
that
helped
us
a
lot
to
say.
Well,
you
know,
don't
don't
do
what
we
say
do
what
we
do
I,
secondly,
want
to
just
really
acknowledge
and
I.
Think
quite
often,
the
importance
of
this
has
been
underestimated,
of
getting
the
federal
government
to
come
to
the
table,
and
it
was.
It
was
a
decade
in
the
making
I.
A
This
is
the
first
meeting
we've
had
since,
since
this
decision
was
confirmed
by
them
and
now
to
be
confirmed
by
us,
everybody
from
the
prime
minister
himself
through
to
the
Housing
Minister
through
to
the
previous
infrastructure
minister.
So
he
through
to
the
Toronto
MPs
and
particular
people
like
Adam,
Vaughan
and
Marco
Mendocino.
It
really
was
a
team
effort
to
make
sure
this
item,
which
is
I,
think
unique
in
all
of
Canada.
A
A
Think
anybody
of
any
sense
at
all
would
know
that
if
you
own
an
asset,
whether
you're
a
person
or
a
company
or
a
government,
the
public-
you
want
to
maintain
those
assets
rather
than
let
them
fall
down
to
the
point
where
they
become
unusable,
and
this
was
something
that
we
were
setting
out
to
prevent
when
we
were
seeking
this
money
from
the
federal
government.
Remember,
our
goal
was
not
just
to
repair
them
to
give
people
decent,
dignified,
properly
repaired
housing,
but
also
to
stop
the
closure
of
units
that
otherwise
would
have
had
to
happen.
A
Had
we
not
had
the
money
to
do
these
repairs
so
I
think
that's
consistent
with
conservative
principles,
secondly,
dignified
decent
homes
for
residents.
That
was
the
second
objective,
and
that
speaks
to
the
comments
made
by
a
councilor
in
Seattle,
deputy
mayor,
Thompson
and
others
to
say:
look
that
was
a
principle
objective
we
had
as
well.
Thirdly,
things
like
energy
efficiency.
We
made
the
case.
We've
made
the
case
that
a
number
of
the
places
we've
gone,
that,
in
fact,
when
you
make
this
investment,
it
has
a
what
we
would
have
called
in
business,
a
no-brainer
payback.
A
It's
an
immediate
payback
and
it's
very
substantial
and
get
you
a
return
on
your
investment.
That
is
absolutely
fantastic
by
anybody's
calculation.
That
is
conservative,
consistent
with
conservative
and
progressive
conservative
principles
to
me
and
then.
Finally,
as
was
mentioned,
I
think
by
deputy
mayor
by
law,
the
jobs
that
are
created
by
those
renovations,
some
of
them
local
jobs,
but
I,
know
that
the
provincial
government
is
one
that
says
all
the
time
that
they're
very
committed
to
making
sure
people
are
employed
in
the
city,
and
this
creates
employment.
A
It
has
with
the
money
we've
spent,
it
will
with
the
money
that
is
to
be
spent
going
forward.
So
I
will
continue
to
advocate
to
the
province
for
finding
away
from
I.
Don't
to
me
whether
it
comes
from
conservation
related
programs,
whether
it
comes
from
job
creation
programs,
it
doesn't
really
matter.
The
point
is
here
that
we
need
their
support
to
fill
out.
That
remaining
third,
because
I
think
it
is
entirely
proper.
A
In
addition
to
all
the
other
lenses
as
we
go
about
setting
the
priorities,
and
we
would
just
direct
that
to
the
CM
to
the
TC
HC
management.
So
thank
you
to
all
concerned
because
I
think
this
is
the
culmination
of
a
part
of
the
effort
we
had
to
undertake
with
obviously
much
more
to
come.
Other
comments
on
88.8
and,
if
not,
then
we
could
move
councillor
Pasternak.
You
want
to
speak
as
well
councillor
on
Sierra,
okay.
We
have
just
one
more
to
do,
which
is
council,
8.8,
11
and
I
know.
K
Thank
you,
Thank
You,
mr.
mayor
I
had
originally
thought
it
was
just
a
staff
undertaking,
but
clerk
suggested
we
put
it
into
motion
I.
Think
councillors
are
eager
to
see
where
the
39
Toronto,
Community
Housing
location
buildings
are
that
are
receiving
the
combined
heat
and
power
generation,
generators
and
I
think
it's
also
important
if
these
are
in
fact
emergency
community
hubs
that
people
know
where
to
go
in
an
emergency.
K
I
think
this
is
a
very
worthy
program
and
project
I,
remember
as
if
it
was
yesterday
the
the
ice
drum
of
2013,
but
there
were
other
instances
in
which
we
lost
power
in
some
of
our
THC
buildings,
which
are
housing.
Many
of
the
most
vulnerable
residents
in
our
city,
including
many
seniors
I,
can
tell
you
that
I
have
I,
believe
11
TCH
buildings
in
the
old
Ward
10
that
I
represented
for
8
years.
K
We
had
many
older
seniors
at
6250,
Bathurst
and
4455
Bathurst,
both
of
which
lost
power
at
that
time,
and
there
was
you
know
deep
concern
about
reaching
vulnerable
seniors
on
the
upper
floors.
There
was
no
power,
weren't
working,
the
water
was
shut
off,
it
was.
It
was
a
pretty
desperate
time,
so
this
is
exactly
what
we
need.
Hopefully,
this
is
the
start
of
a
wider
program
where
we
can
get
as
many
buildings
as
possible
fitted
with
with
this
technology
to
make
sure
that
they're
they
are
safe
during
extreme
weather
events,
Thank
You
mr.
mayor.
A
Thank
You
councillor
crash-mat.
Are
there
any
other
speakers
on
8.11?
Okay?
What
I'll
do
then,
is
just
proceed
to
it's
best.
If
we
approve
each
item
individually,
then
within
the
three
and
so
I
would
ask
that
we
have
a
motion
to
adopt
item
IX
8.4,
which
is
the
item
that
has
to
do
with
the
renewal
of
the
mortgage,
moved
by
Councillor
deputy
mayor
Thompson,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carry.
Next,
we
move
to
item
eight
point.
A
Eight
and
I'll
accept
a
motion
to
approve
and
adopt
the
item
coming
from
deputy
mayor
by
Lao,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
to
carry
and
then
finally,
if
I
can
deal
first
with
the
motion
moved
by
councillor
Pasternak
to
ask
for
the
list,
as
he
just
discussed
a
moment
ago,
all
in
favor
of
the
council
passed
next
amendment
carried
and
then
the
item
as
amended
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried
and
I
should
just
say
for
the
record
that
if
any
of
mr.
Shearer
mr.
A
sing
premier
Ford
Minister
Clark,
miss
Horvath
comes
through
with
money
from
the
province
or
any
other
source,
I
will
be
as
effusive.
In
my
praise
of
those
people,
as
I
was
in
praise
of
the
Government
of
Canada,
which
came
through
with
a
billion
three
for
us
and
that
formed
the
substance
of
this
item.
Mr.
P
I
forget
mr.
Burnham
terrible,
okay,
miss
may
mr.
Bernier
any
of
those
people,
even
the
leader
of
the
Bloc
Quebecois.
If
he
produces,
he
produces
the
check
and
we
can
cash.
It
I
will
be
effusive
in
my
praise.
A
A
Just
one
thing
that
I
forgot
in
the
rundown
I
apologize
was
I
just
skipped
over
and
doing
the
rundown
I
skipped
over
item
ex8
point:
nineteen
transportation
services,
2019
capital
budget
in
2022,
2028
capital
plan
adjustments,
I'm
assuming
that
would
be
moved
by
the
budget
chair
that
was
just
in
the
rundown.
Is
there
anybody
wishing
to
ask
questions
or
speak
on
that?
Otherwise
we
can
just
ask
for
the
adoption
of
the
item,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
Karen.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
L
You
good
morning
my
name
is
harvey
mendoza
and
I
am
the
executive
director
of
the
woman
abuse
council
of
toronto
or
woman
act.
Our
mission
is
to
eradicate
violence
against
women
and
advocate
and
advance
for
gender
equity
through
coordination,
education,
research
and
policy.
We
convene
and
mobilize
communities
across
Toronto
to
drive
system
change
for
women,
and
we
have
been
doing
this
for
28
years.
L
I
would
like
to
dedicate
my
deputation
to
the
148
women
and
girls
killed
in
2018
across
twenty-one
of
whom
lived
in
Toronto,
the
60
women
and
girls
killed
in
2009
19
across
Canada
suit.
Our
chica
Jagannathan,
killed
by
her
former
husband
on
Wednesday
September
11
2009
teen
in
Toronto
I,
am
here
this
morning
to
emphasize
and
speak
to
the
need
for
a
gender
equity
strategy
and
gender
equality
office
for
Toronto.
L
While
we
commend
the
City
of
Toronto
for
undertaking
initiatives
such
as
the
gender
equity
tool
or
applying
a
gender
analysis
to
strategies
such
as
the
Toronto
poverty
reduction
strategy
and
housing
till
2020
2030
action
plan,
we
know
there
is
more
to
do.
We
know
that,
in
order
to
reduce
inequities
faced
by
women,
girls,
trans
and
non-binary
people
across
the
city,
we
need
to
apply
an
intersectional
gendered
framework
and
gender
responsive
budgeting
process
to
all
policy
and
programmatic
areas.
L
Gender
inequities
still
persist
in
Toronto
women,
girls,
trans
and
non-binary
individuals
face
higher
rates
of
violence
and
continue
to
be
murdered
by
their
partners
and
ex
partners
at
a
substantially
higher
rate
than
men.
Women
are
more
likely
to
be
unemployed
in
precarious
work
and
still
make
less
money
than
their
male
counterparts,
and
yet
they
make
up
52%
of
the
population.
The
experience
of
being
a
Toronto
Torontonian
is
indeed
gender,
and
these
experiences
are
further
in
paced
by
race,
immigration,
status,
disability,
sexuality
and
socioeconomic
status.
L
When
we
speak
to
women
experiencing
violence
in
Toronto,
we
hear
what
these
inequalities
translate
into.
Women
are
unable
to
live
free
from
violence
because
of
a
lack
of
access
to
money
and
how
seeing
women
tell
us
that
they
face
discrimination
by
Lambert,
because
they
are
on
social
assistance
or
our
loan
parents.
Even
though
we
know
that
84
percent
of
loan
parents
and
families
internal
are
led
by
women.
L
Women
report
that
they
struggle
to
access
employment,
childcare
and
public
services
because
of
a
lack
of
access
to
transit,
even
though
we
know
that
59%
of
public
transit
users
in
Toronto
are
women.
Women
also
tell
us
that
there
is
still
an
expectation
that
they
must
leave
the
home
and
have
their
lives
disrupted
when
they
are
experiencing
abuse
rather
than
the
perpetrator
leaving.
This
is
an
expectation
that
is
still
reinforced
by
policy
program
and
practices
across
the
city.
This
experiences
are
just
a
few
reasons
why
we
need
strategies
and
budgets
that
are
taking.
L
The
excuse
me
that
take
into
account
the
needs
of
women,
as
well
as
work
to
close
the
gender
gap.
Despite
a
long
history
of
women's
policy
at
back
advocacy,
the
idea
that
women's
interests
should
be
incorporated
into
the
policy
processes
is
still
is
still
relatively
new
from
our
experience.
Integrating
and
intersectional
gender
analysis
to
policies,
services
and
programs
requires
dedicated
time
resources,
capacity,
building
constant
community
engagement,
as
well
as
a
willingness
for
change.
We
believe
that
the
city
wide
gender
equity
strategy
and
gender
equality
office
would
meet
these
needs.
L
We
also
like
to
emphasize
that
this
work
does
not
have
to
happen
alone.
Women's
advocate
and
organizations
across
the
city
have
a
long
history
of
this
work,
and
we
know
that
our
communities
across
the
city.
We
know
that
our
communities
are
keen
and
waiting
to
share
their
expertise,
tools
and
strategies
for
achieving
gender,
responsive
policy
and
budgets.
We
also
encourage
the
gender
equality
office
to
closely
engage
the
community
in
driving
priorities.
Woman
act
regularly
engages
community
agencies
and
women's
across
the
city
to
identify
needs
and
the
policy
program
and
practice
solutions.
L
We
find
that
when
communities
are
engaged
in
the
decision-making
that
affects
their
everyday
lives,
they
feel
more
valued
in
their
community
and
are
more
motivated
to
build
safe,
cohesive
and
healthy
communities.
In
conclusion,
the
stakes
are
incredibly
high
and
this
is
not
rocket
science.
We
have
solutions
to
closing
the
gender
gap,
and
this
is
one
of
them.
We
hope
that
the
City
of
Toronto
will
demonstrate
its
commitment
to
women
safety
and
gender
equality.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A

L

So
I
wanted
to
ask
and
just
a
twice's
question:
how
will
the
gender
equity
tragic?
How
will
that
prevent
violence
and
I
know
you
talked
a
little
bit
about
jobs
and
the
opportunities
for
women
in
school,
but
can
you
maybe
just
help
us
to
really
understand
a
little
bit
more?
How
this
will
impact
this
and
what
will
be
opportunities
for
women
be
going
forward,
so
we
can
prevent
situations
like
this
from
happening
in
the
future.
It's.
L
Definitely
a
very
important
beginning,
because
this
is
exactly
what
we
need
to
do.
How
can
we
prevent
this
from
ever
happen
again,
one
of
the
areas
of
work
that
I
didn't
actually
allude
to
it
is
how
I'm,
how
complex
this
issue
is.
This
is
not
only
about
the
municipalities
doing
what
they
need
to
do
with,
and
what
the
municipalities
boundaries
required
from
access
to
transit,
from
access
to
different
jobs,
that
or
different
possibilities
to
be
able
to
access
more
or
be
economically
independent.
L
All
of
those
areas
of
work
that
our
municipal
needs
to
be,
and
we
need
to
keep
asking
ourselves.
How
can
we
prevent
this
from
happening,
taking
iteration
all
of
the
policies
that
you
have
in
place
and
every
others
that
you
can
even
imagine
like?
For
example,
let
me
quickly
tell
you
about
this
important
review
that
happened
in
other
parts
of
the
world,
what
they
realize
that
shoveling
the
streets
was
helpful
for
those
who
were
driving,
but
how
about
those
who
were
walking
taking
the
TTC
pushing
strollers?
L
They
realized
that
when
they
started
to
shovel
the
snow
on
the
walkways
that
there
were
less
accidents
and
they
realized
that
women
were
the
ones
who
were
accessing
transit
more
than
men
and
how
important
that
was
for
women,
particularly
and
so
those
are
the
kind
of
questions
that
we
need
to
ask
us
to
gender
policy.
To
say.
The
other
part
that
I
want
to
add
is
how
provincial
government
needs
to
also
be
working
collaboratively
with
municipalities
and
the
federal
government.
Women's
leave
complex,
complex
lives.
L
They
are
interconnected
with
all
of
the
different
services
and
the
areas
that
are
face
or
overview
by
different
governments
initiatives.
So
it's
about
asking.
How
can
we
prevent
this
from
happening
and
looking
at
all
of
the
policies
so
that
we
are
more
conscious
as
to
when
we
make
those
decisions
and
we
can
see
the
gender
as
an
important
base
for
making
those
decisions?
Thank.
A
M
Morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
sama
and
Tibetan
ages
and
I
work
at
the
not-for-profit
progress.
Toronto
I'm
excited
to
speak
today
in
support
of
the
recommendations
in
the
staff
report
report
before
you
and
urge
this
committee
to
seize
the
opportunity
to
make
Toronto
a
more
gender
akribos
city,
and
we
cannot
afford
to
wait
at
progress.
Toronto.
We
advocate
for
a
more
equitable
and
just
City.
M
Actually,
if
you
want
to
be
specific,
I
just
checked,
and
it
was
actually
a
thousand
a
thousand
two
hundred
and
eighty-nine.
Each
of
you
have
received
emails
in
supporting
and
of
establishing
a
gender
equality
office
to
makes
Toronto
work
for
everyone,
and
today
I'm,
just
one
voice
among
the
hundreds
who
have
expressed
their
support
when
I
was
preparing
for
this
deputation
I
was
happy
to
receive
an
email
from
Mayor
John
Tory
pledging
that
he
will
vote
in
favor
of
creating
a
gender
equality
office.
M
It
was
quite
great
and
I
mean
glad
that
the
mayor
is
also
recognizing
that
this
is
an
excellent
opportunity
for
Toronto.
Our
city
can
join
the
ranks
of
other
municipal
municipalities
who
are
leading
like
la
New,
York,
Vienna,
Boston
and
here
in
Toronto.
Sorry,
sorry,
here
in
Canada,
Vancouver,
Calgary,
Montreal
and
Ottawa
with
a
gender
equality
office
and
an
intersectional
gender
strategy,
the
city
can
make
sure
its
budget,
its
policies
and
its
programs
work
to
reduce
inequality
all
across
Toronto.
As
you
know,
how's.
It
short.
M
As
you
know,
issues
regarding
housing,
public
transit
and
employment
disproportionately
affect
women,
trans
non-binary
and
gender
diverse
members
of
the
city
more,
and
they
also
affect
us
differently.
Diverse
women,
girls,
trans
and
non-binary
people
make
up
more
than
half
a
Toronto
population,
but
continue
to
face
systemic
disparities
in
our
city.
Laura
wages,
higher
rates
of
violence
and
poverty
are
just
a
few
examples
to
name
together
with
your
leadership.
M
Toronto
can
develop
the
strategy,
the
structure,
the
strategy,
the
methodology
that
kind
of
lutely
respond
to
local
needs
and
priority
areas,
including
housing,
childcare
safety,
leadership,
representation
and
even
civic
engagement
issues.
I
know
other
speaking
before
you
today
have,
and
continue
to
go
into
great
detail
on
this.
An
exciting
opportunity
for
Toronto
and
I
can't
wait
to
see
how
these
recommendations
play
out
and
make
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
people
across
our
great
city.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
please
vote
in
support
of
the
recommendations
before
you
today.
A
K
You
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
so
prior
to
the
meeting
I
went
to
the
city
of
Toronto's
website
to
see
what
we're
doing
in
our
Human
Rights
office
in
this
area,
and
we
have
a
unit
that
does
equity
diversity,
inclusion.
It
has
a
pretty
detailed
policy
statement.
Do
you
think
that
this
is
not
going
far
enough
or
it's
not
funded?
Well
enough
or
it's
not
getting
the
job
done,
but
currently
the
city's
been
pretty
active
in
this
sense,
I
think
2003
thank.
M
The
bus
I
had
to
walk
on
the
street
to
be
able
to
actually
get
to
my
place
of
employment
because
the
snow
banks
were
just
so
big
the,
and
this
is
actually
kind
of
a
gender
perspective.
If
we
take
it
to
gender
and
equity
lens
to
this
issue.
We
see
that
priorities
for
snow
plowing
are
the
streets
and
the
roads,
and
then
the
sidewalks
are
left
behind.
A
N
O
Thank
you
very
much
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
the
executive
committee
for
the
opportunity
today
to
speak
and
express
support
for
creating
a
gender
equity
strategy
and
agenda
gender
equality
office
in
the
City
of
Toronto
I,
currently
work
at
family
service,
Toronto
and
I
coordinated
national
anti-poverty
campaign.
But
you
know
me
from
my
work
on
the
mayor's
Advisory
Committee
on
poverty
reduction
and
I.
My
work
on
the
external
review
committee
for
the
equity
budgeting
process.
O
The
poverty
reduction
work
plan
and
we
really
commend
the
work
of
staff
to
move
this
forward
under
this
leadership.
But
these
gender
mainstreaming
tools
do
not
go
far
enough
at
it's
very
core.
Gender
equity
framework
acknowledges
and
Andale
analyzes
underlying
root
causes
of
disparities
that
different
groups
of
people
face
based
on
their
social,
cultural
and
economic
identities.
O
It
recognizes
that
revenues
and
expenditures
of
city
budgets
and
policy
decisions,
impact
women
in
particular
ways
and
that
these
effects
are
compounded
when
gender
intersects
with
other
identities
that
include
indigenous
identity,
race,
culture,
religion,
language,
citizenship
and
immigration
status,
a
mountain
source
of
income,
family
status,
ability,
sexual
identity
and
orientation,
age,
geographic
location
in
the
city,
among
others.
The
goal
of
a
gender
equity
framework
is
to
redress
and
remedy
these
systemic
disparities
through
fair
taxation
and
a
fair
allocation
of
resources.
O
Governments
that
successfully
use
a
gender
equity
framework,
both
in
budgetary
decisions
and
policy
development,
make
a
strong
commitment
to
collecting,
understand
its
understanding
and
publishing
disaggregated
data
through
the
investment
of
time
and
resources.
To
fully
understand
this
data,
there
must
be
robust,
ongoing
engagement
processes
in
place
with
the
diverse
women
who
are
impacted
by
these
decisions,
and
that
include
consultation
on
the
design,
implementation
and
evaluation
processes.
O
Community
driven
indicators,
measurements
and
accountability
mechanisms
are
essential
to
achieving
success,
to
achieving
success,
successful
outcomes
and
positively
impacting
people's
lives.
The
urgent
need
to
adopt
the
recommendations
before
you
cannot
be
understated,
and
you
have
before
you
a
staff
report
that
outlines
the
number
of
ways
that
women
and
gender
diverse
people
continue
to
face
discrimination
and
marginalization
in
Toronto.
The
city
has
offices
and
strategies
that
address
the
disparities
among
every
equity
dimension
except
gender.
O
By
choosing
to
allocate
the
requested
resources
to
this,
which
is
really
a
small
fraction,
a
small
part
of
the
city's
budget
Toronto
will
be
joining
the
ranks
of
other
major
national
and
international
cities
for
gender
equity
and
be
true
to
our
motto
of
diversity.
Is
our
strengths
and
I
look
forward
to
being
a
continued
partner
in
this
initiative.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
N
You
very
much
mr.
mayor
just
following
up
on
the
question
that
came
from
councillor
Thompson
in
cows
or
Pasternak,
with
respect
to
the
the
effectiveness
of
the
gender
equality
strategy.
How
could
it
prevent
violence
against
women
and
how
could
it
also
ensure
that
when
we
create
cities,
and
especially
the
built
form
that
actually
takes
into
consideration
the
use
the
users
of
all
genders?
Thank.
O
O
So
we're
being
asked
to
make
these
decisions
without
the
right
kind
of
information,
but
by
having
a
strategy
that
lays
out
a
plan
for
minimizing
disparities
for
addressing
women's
experiences
of
violence
that
includes
I
spent
20
years
working
in
women's
shelters
and
the
barriers
to
getting
women
into
safe,
affordable,
adequate
housing,
childcare,
affordable
childcare.
These
are
all
city
services,
we're
not
allocating
resources
in
the
right
kinds
of
ways
to
make
sure
women
can
access
these
kinds
of
social
safety
supports
the
other
question
for
me,
too,
is
you
know
why?
Why
do
we?
O
Why
does
is
this
still
accept
it?
Why
is
violence
accepted
what
needs
to
happen
around
public
education
and
the
campaign's
that
Toronto
invests
in
to
you
know
to
really
say
that
this
is
not
okay,
where's,
the
accountability
for
the
perpetrators.
You
know
the
restraining
orders
those
pieces
of
paper.
They
don't
go
far
enough
for
protecting
women,
so
we
need
in
terms
of
changing
attitudes,
around
violence
and
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
changing
mechanism.
E
Just
want
your
your
your
last
comments,
something
this
is
not
a
boat
budget,
but
it's
about
how
we
develop
policy
as
well.
You
provide
affordable
housing.
We
can
provide
social
housing,
especially
to
women,
experiencing
violence,
but
some
of
our
policies
can
isolate
and
we
give
them
the
housing,
but
then
they're
afraid
to
mention,
if
they're
having
a
problem
because
it
they
may
face
eviction.
So
it's
not
we're
setting
this
up,
not
just
to
have
an
impact
on
our
budget
that
we
might
dread,
but
in
our
policy,
development
and
staff
training.
O
And
there
are
so
many
of
those
policy
decisions
that
wouldn't
cost
the
city
anything
and
would
have
such
huge
impacts
in
communities
in
people's
lives
for
the
women
and
children
who
live
in
our
city.
Who
are
really
you
know,
over-represented
in
low-income
populations
who
are
over-represented
in
folks
who
are
facing
barriers
to
accessing
those
services.
So
we
need.
You
know
the
newcomer
strategy,
the
senior
strategy,
the
youth
strategy,
the
poverty
reduction
strategy,
barely
any
of
them
talk
about
women's
particular
experiences
or
gender,
diverse
particular
experiences
in
those
areas.
But
we
could
map
out.
O
My
vision
of
a
gender
equity
strategy
would
be
something
that's
not
its
own
thing,
but
that
is
actually
interacting
with
the
existing
equity
strategies
of
the
city
and
many
of
the
ideas
and
ways
of
addressing
these
disparities.
They
don't
cost
money,
but
we
need
these
resources.
We
need
people
within
on
staff
at
the
city
level,
who
have
an
expertise
and
gender-based
analysis
to
be
able
to
develop
this,
and
we
need
those
folks
to
be.
O
O
B
So
the
the
office
itself
and
the
strategy
that
has
to
deal
with
very
complex
is
because
one
of
the
things
that
you
you,
the
comments
you
make
new
your
inter
comment
about
I
think
you
talk
about
restraining
orders,
for
example,
so
we
don't
govern
that
it
is
through
the
legal,
the
courts
and
so
on.
So
having
an
office.
B
O
Can
I
agree
and
I
feel
that
I
believe
that
it
has
to
work
across
all
divisions
in
the
city?
It
is
an
intersectional
issue
and
it
has
to
work
across
all
levels
of
government
and
the
province
of
Ontario
has
a
gender
based
violence
strategy
that
can
work
very
nicely
with
something
that
the
city
in
terms
of
partnerships
and
moving
forward
together
on
these
issues
and
on
those
internship.
O
Those
areas
that
we
need
to
address
that
aren't
part
of
city
jurisdiction
and
the
federal
government
has
a
gender
based
violence
strategy,
and
this
is,
you
know,
international
right.
The
UN
has
said:
Canada
should
have
a
national
action
plan,
all
country
this
is,
you,
know,
we're
talking
about
international
standards,
but
there
are
mechanisms
that
every
other
level
of
government,
except
for
this
one
to
be
able
to
address
this
really
important
issue.
And
so
yes,
we
need
an
office,
it
is
complex,
but
there
are
pathways
already
to
achieving
to
achieving
this
sure.
A
P
P
Dear
Toronto
City
Council,
Executive,
Committee,
Mayor,
John,
Tory,
gender
justice
out
of
kids
in
the
room
and
residents
across
Toronto,
hello,
and
thank
you
today
is
a
pivotal
moment
to
really
demonstrate
the
leadership
that
Toronto
has
already
been,
showing
and
and
achieving.
And
today
what
I
want
to
talk
about
is
the
perspective
of
millennial
women
in
policy.
P
So
my
name
is
Angela
Sultana
and
I'm,
the
founder
of
millennial,
women
in
policy,
a
grassroots
organization,
headquartered
headquartered
in
Toronto,
focused
on
advancing
the
perspectives
of
self-identified
millennial,
women
and
non-binary
people
in
policy,
making
processes
at
all
orders
of
government
in
less
than
a
year.
We've
posted
five
events
across
the
country,
and
we
have
1800
people
in
our
community
from
across
Canada
and
also
North
America,
generally
speaking,
and
as
an
organization
that
is
committed
to
fostering
community,
exchanging
insights
and
building
the
skills
of
the
next
generation
of
policy
leaders.
P
P
The
city
of
Toronto
is
demonstrating
this
world-class
leadership
and,
in
short
order
and
very
quick
in
a
short
period
of
time,
we've
actually
passed
on
a
letter
to
the
city
clerk
on
behalf
of
over
60
millennial
women
in
policy
in
the
city,
who
also
want
to
see
this
passed,
and,
like
many
of
my
colleagues
before
me
have
said,
we
would
be
joining
other
cities
as
well,
such
as
Vienna
Boston
LA
and
in
Canada
Montreal
Vancouver,
Edmonton
Ottawa.
So
it's
really
time
for
Toronto
to
also
move
in
this
direction.
P
My
colleagues
before
me
have
talked
about
the
connections
between
gender
equality
and
why
investments
in
this
office
and
strategy
would
address
gender-based
violence.
What
I
also
want
to
share
to
the
committee
here
is
that,
by
investing
in
something
like
this,
a
gender
equity
strategy
and
gender
equality
office
will
actually
be
improving
the
economic
conditions
and
also
the
economy
of
Canada
and
specifically
Toronto
as
well.
P
A
recent
report
by
McKenzie
has
stated
that
if
we
were
able
to
actually
address
gender
inequality
in
this
nation,
we
would
actually
add
a
hundred
and
fifty
billion
dollars
to
the
economy,
and
that
is
by
2025.
So
that's
not
very
long,
and
so
this
is
something
where
City
of
Toronto
can
start
to
participate
and
also
see
the
gains
by
actually
addressing
gender
equality.
P
Some
comments
have
been
made
about
the
cost,
but
here
what
we
see
is
that
the
investments
here
will
be
brought
back
to
us
and
greater
dividends
and,
furthermore,
not
only
will
the
economics
of
this
city
be
improved.
The
conditions,
the
conditions
of
the
constituents
in
your
writing
a
day
in
day
out
will
be
improved.
P
Is
you
know
it
really
speaks
to
the
legacy
also
of
the
late
city,
councilor,
Pam,
McConnell
and
I've
had
the
good
fortune
of
being
on
the
selection
committee
that
she
isn't
our
honor
for
young
women,
leadership
and
I
see
the
incredible
leadership
that's
happening
in
the
city.
What
I'd
be
interested
in
seeing
is,
if
we
establish
an
office
like
this,
how
much
further
can
we
go?
How
much
further
can
we
improve
the
communities
that
were
part
of
day-in
day-out?
What
I'll
end
on
you
know?
P
Our
organization
is
pan-canadian
and
we
see
across
the
country
the
important
gains
that
can
be
made
by
investing
in
strategy
such
as
this
before
you
and
what
I'll
say
is
that
we
need
to
step
up
also
because
on
the
world
stage,
I
don't
know.
Folks
here
know
next
year
is
a
25
year
anniversary
of
the
Beijing
declaration,
I'm
platform
for
action
on
gender
equality.
So
it's
been
25
years
since
that's
that
platform
has
come
out
and
I'll
be
reporting
on
the
work
that
Canada
has
been
doing.
P
I'm
representing
civil
society
in
Geneva
later
in
October
and
I
would
love
when
I
go
there
when
I'm
speaking
on
my
remarks
of
what
Canada
has
achieved
to
say
that
Toronto
has
stepped
up
and
invested
in
a
gender
equality
office.
So
again,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
we're
actually
this
is.
This
is
a
momentous
opportunity.
P
A
A
M
I'm
so
good
morning,
and
thank
you
for
having
me
my
name
is
Jasmine
Ramsey,
Rose,
ie
and
I
am
the
manager
of
advocacy.
Yet
why
did
we
see
a
Toronto?
Why
did
we
see
Toronto,
as
you
may
know,
is
the
city's
largest
multi
service
women's
organization.
Our
association
serves
over
13,000
700
women
and
their
families
every
year
in
more
than
32
programs
in
eleven
locations
across
the
city.
We
have
a
deep
and
proud
history
of
partnership
with
the
City
of
Toronto,
particularly
in
providing
housing
for
women
and
their
family.
M
We
have
deputed
year
after
year
at
the
city
budget
committee
calling
for
gender
equity
lens
in
the
budget
process.
Why
is
this
important?
Because
women
face
systemic
disparities
because
racialized
women,
women
with
disabilities,
elderly
women,
LGTBQ
plus
women,
non-binary
folks,
are
impacted
by
city
decisions
in
nuanced
and
sometimes
unintended
ways?
However,
without
tracking
these
impacts,
there
is
no
substantive
way
for
the
city
to
create
evidence-based
policies
in
support
of
women
and
their
families
or
truly
or
to
truly
respond
to
community
needs.
M
We
think
it
is
vitally
important
for
the
City
of
Toronto
to
understand
how
gender
impacts
services
so
that
the
communities
we
work
with
can
thrive
and
succeed.
The
women
who
attend
our
programs
tell
us
of
the
challenges
they
face:
accessing
child
care,
safe
housing,
nutritious
food
and
public
transit.
The
one
out
of
four
children
who
live
in
poverty
in
Toronto
do
not
live
alone.
They
are
often
from
single
women
households.
M
Women
are
more
likely
to
work,
precarious
jobs,
there's
a
wage
gap,
a
gender
wage
gap,
a
racial
wage
gap
and
there's
a
strong
connection
between
poverty,
homelessness
and
gender-based
violence
for
women,
and,
despite
all
the
good
intentions,
the
interests
of
women
have
not
been
fully
protected
or
reflected
in
budgetary
decisions
and
processes
and
in
the
street
strategic
priorities
of
the
city.
And
for
these
reasons
we
need
an
intersectional
gender
lens
at
the
City
of
Toronto.
We
need
a
strategy
and
we
need
an
office.
M
In
short,
you
have
this
incredible
opportunity
before
you
to
really
demonstrate
your
commitment
to
gender
equity
to
all
Torontonians.
We
all
stand
to
benefit
from
this,
so
we
hope
you
heat
the
urgency
of
our
call
our
collective
calls
and
demonstrate
what
responsive
leadership
looks
like.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
G
G
This
is
my
child.
My
kid
I
am
a
true
member
of
the
Canadian
Centre
for
many
families.
We
have
okay,
four
per
man
and
their
children
to
be
United.
We're
talking
about
gender
equality,
we're
talking
about
optics.
Did
you
know
that
when
two
parents
are
in
Recife
social
assistant
or
unemployment,
one
parent
qualifies
for
legal
aid?
That
was
my
story
to
me.
Many
parents
into
it,
particularly
in
2013,
when
I
wanted
to
apply
for
sharing
custody.
On
my
coma
kids
with
my
ex
I
did
not
have
a
lawyer
to
represent
me
in
court.
G
A
family
court
I
would
I
was
I
was
told
you
need
a
duty
council.
Critical
Susan
is
a
lawyer
who
may
be
punished
by
the
legal
society
to
help
people
with
complex
cases.
You
only
have
half
an
hour
to
introduce
yourself
and
explain
your
problem
today
to
the
lawyer
in
the
hope
that
he
will
represent
you
in
court
most
of
the
time
they're
not
aware
of
the
complexity
of
their
issues,
running
a
separation
and
divorce.
G
These
Canadian
families
center
for
many
families
has
been
vilified
by
many
groups
that
they
are.
They
are
too
much
label
as
men's
rights
groups
to
men
and
we
excluding
the
rest
no.
On
the
contrary,
we
also
help
gay
parents,
men
and
women
who
want
to
get.
You
know
some
help
with
their
legal
troubles.
G
G
What
I
would
like
to
see
the
recommendations
made
today
is
to
see
some
kind
of
funding
for
parents
for
dads
who
are
unable
to
get
a
legal,
a
certificate
to
defend
themselves
in
Family
Court
current
is
there
currently
is
difficult
to
get
a
legal,
a
certificate
again,
as
I
mentioned,
when
two
parents
are
both
on
social
assistance
or
some
sort
of
assistance
by
the
government.
So
you
see
that
you
see
there
are
inequities
or
the
other
system
when
pairing
is,
is
pin
against
another
parent
and
at
the
end,
some
parents,
some
males,
give
up.
G
There's
80
percent
of
males
suicides
are
men
in
the
City
of
Toronto.
It
is
sad
to
see
that
80%
of
men
kill
themselves
so
many
of
them
they
give
up
because
it's
difficult
to
fight
the
family
court.
It
is
so
dead
again
it's
so
in
this
impossible.
It's
like
a
world
is
a
huge
berry
is
stack
up
against
men.
G
So
if
I,
if
you
want
to
be
equal,
you
should
include
menace
in
the
conversation
and
provide
funding
for
those
men
who
are
unable
to
to
get
a
legal,
a
certificate
and
please
as
tcac,
to
include
the
presentation
so
the
Kinnear
Center
for
men
and
families,
so
the
men
can
find
hope
because
that's
all
we
have
hope
so
that
we
can
get
reunited
with
our
kids
again,
because
we
love
them
and
just
because
you
screw
up
one
time,
it
doesn't
mean
that
we
are
condemned
forever.
Thank
you.
G
A
E
So
it's
just
where
your
staff
want
to
comment
on
my
question:
the
deputy
that
that,
because
we,
because
we
have
previously
had
they
all
emotions
and
the
actions
to
have
a
gender
lens
on
on
the
budget,
specifically,
if
we
for
in
this
office,
would
the
the
intention
be
that
whenever
we're
developing
policy
or
perhaps
that
the
Ombudsman
or
AG
is
recommending
a
change
of
systems
or
policy
that
this
office
might
also
be
a
place
where
we
tend
things
for.
For
that
analysis.
F
Speaker,
yes,
so
the
gender
equity
unit
would
like
the
equity
and
diversity
and
Human
Rights
office
currently
provide
advisory
services
to
the
all-city
divisions,
including
our
accountability
officers,
who
do
Lee
Chan
for
advice.
It
would
also
provide
the
opportunity
to
actually
proactively
work
with
divisions
on
their
strategy,
other
strategies
that
are
being
developed
across
the
city.
So,
yes,
it
will.
It
will
provide
a
lot
of
the
work.
F
K
You
mr.
mayor,
through
you
to
the
city
manager,
I
did
ask
one
of
the
deputies,
because
I
wanted
their
perspective
on
it.
We
have
an
equity
diversity
and
inclusion
unit
at
the
City
of
Toronto.
It
has
a
phone
number,
a
dedicated
email
address
and
a
pretty
detailed
policy
covering
many
of
the
things
in
this
report
now
I'm
just
wondering
I,
guess
it's
the
perception
of
the
deputies
and
and
the
originators
of
this
motion
that
they're
this
doesn't
go
far
enough
for
the
or
this
is
not
getting
the
job
done.
J
Well,
I
would
say:
I
mean,
first
of
all,
the
what
we
are
doing
already
when
compared
to
other
cities
across
the
country
is
is
certainly
exceptional,
but
I
think
the
issue
here
and
I
think
it's
captured
and
report.
Why
there's
a
need
for
this
particular
office
is
to
you
know,
continue
to
evolve
or
evolve.
Our
our
our
equity,
lens
and
I
think
with
that
is,
is
the
importance
of
having
you
know.
J
People
who
wake
up
every
day
dedicated
to
really
many
of
the
issues
that
the
presenters
just
provided
us
so
I
think
in
some
respects
their
comments
about
it
doesn't
go
far
enough.
Aren't
aren't
off
the
mark.
I'm
gonna
ask
Allah
to
to
add
to
what
I've
said
already,
but
we
did
give
that
consideration.
I
mean
was
that
something
that
we
could
just
simply
expand
upon
that
already
exists,
and-
and
there
are
reasons
that
we
felt
that
that
this
effort
needed
to
be
made
and
in
this
particular
way,
so
maybe
Alma.
If
you
can.
F
I
say
a
couple
of
things,
so
the
city
does
have
an
equity
diversity
and
Human
Rights,
Division
and
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
unit
and
I
want
to
give
you
a
breakdown
of
the
staff
in
that
office,
so
the
staff
in
that
office,
seven
people
in
that
office
are
the
Human
Rights
office.
They
have
a
particular
role,
they
provide,
they
do
investigations
when
people
fall,
Human,
Rights,
complaints
against
the
city
and
they
do
education
related
to
the
Human
Rights
Code
in
particular,
so
that
is
the
focus
of
their
work.
F
In
addition,
three
people
in
that
office
are
the
accessibility
unit,
so
they
provide
they
provide
advice
and
services
related
to
the
accessibility
for
Ontarians,
with
Disabilities
Act,
and
also
building
a
culture
of
accessibility
by
design
at
the
city.
So
that
is
their
focus.
So
then
there
are
four
people
who
are
dedicated
to
equity
more
broadly,
so
they
do
work
on
the
city's
count
yourself
in
survey.
They
do
work
on.
They
do
work
on
the
equity,
responsive,
budgeting
work.
They
do
a
whole
range
of
they
do
work
on
LGBTQ
strategy.
They
do
so.
F
There
are
only
four
people
in
that
office
that
are
doing
equity
work
more
broadly,
so
they
are
producing
a
lot
of
work
considering
the
size
of
that
unit,
but
this
is
dedicated
work
that
requires
dedicated
expertise
and
what
we're
looking
at
is,
we
are
have
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
in
this
area,
but
the
outcomes
for
women
are
not
women.
Trans
and
non-binary
people
are
not
with
what
we
want
them
to
be.
F
So
we
are
looking
at
dedicated
resources
and
dedicated
expertise
to
do
a
deep
dive
and
our
jurisdictional
scan
has
indicated
that
that
has
been
successful
in
other
places
where
they
have.
They
have
established
units
like
that.
So
that
is
the
strategy
that
we're
recommending,
but
as
the
city
manager
indicated,
the
first
start
was:
can
we
do
this
within
within
existing
resources?
And
the
answer
is
we
cannot
not
the
focus
that
we
require
and
the
work
that
is
necessary
for
us
to
build
the
partnerships
that
will
be
critical
to
this
work.
F
A
C
Thank
you,
I'm,
not
sure
if
this
is
the
city
manager
or
not
or
staff,
but
I
wanted
ask
so
there's
a
number
of
references
around
governance
and
I
was
curious.
How
about
how
this
strategy
and
how
this
office
would
look
at
when
we
have
our
civic
appointments
process?
When
we
look
at
our
agencies
boards
and
commissions
how
the
strategy
in
the
office
would
apply
to
that
process.
J
F
The
one
of
the
things
that
we
will
be
doing
initially
is
doing
some
consultations
with
our
community
partners
and
with
the
public
to
figure
out
what
we
really
need
to
be
prioritizing
so,
but
in
theory,
the
office
once
the
unit
once
established
will
be
available
for
us
for
so,
for
instance,
our
public
appointments
process.
This
year
we
did
a
lot
of
work.
The
accessibility
team
did
a
lot
of
work
with
them
on
encouraging
people
with
disabilities
to
apply
to
for
appointment,
and
we
had
some
success
in
that
respect.
F
So
I
can
envision
that,
once
this
unit
is
established
that
the
next
time
we're
going
through
public
appointments
that
the
the
public
appointments
unit
will
also
have
access
to
the
the
unit
to
provide
advice
on
how
do
we,
what
strategies
might
be
effective
in
in
ensuring
like
better
gender,
gender
representation
in
our
public
appointments?
Okay,.
C
And
will
will
be,
will
the
office
and
the
strategy
be
used
to
set
I,
guess
benchmarking
or
parameters
around
appointments
and
I?
Guess
I'm
looking
for
a
proactive
approach
that
they'll
be
going
to
the
public,
employments
or
civic
appointments,
and
not
just
hoping
that
committee
or
will
ask
for
advice
so.
F
This
about
an
important
part
of
the
strategy,
because
we
want
to
be
accountable
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
what
we're
doing
is
actually
effective
is
going
to
be
accountability
mechanism,
so
benchmark
and
benchmarks
and
goals
would
be
an
important
part
of
that
work.
And
so
yes,
the
strategy
will
have
clearer
timelines
and
a
plan
and
and
would
be
coming
back
for
approval
of
to
say.
F
I
F
I
believe
that
the
city
has
a
number
of
funding
mechanisms
that
do
fund
community.
This
needs
to
do
work
in
this
area,
so
this
this
will
not
be
focused
on
in
the
community.
This
will
be
focused
on
the
services
that
we
provide
and
the
programs
that
we
provide
as
a
city
ourselves
and
training
that
we
can
provide
to
our
staff
as
well
on
how
we
actually
work
with
those
agencies
to
do
our
bit
so.
A
N
This
particular
report
I
think
that,
as
one
of
the
movers
of
the
motion,
the
second
one
was
was
was
councillor
perks,
I
think
that
we
wanted
to
just
number
one
provide
an
opportunity
to
actually
elevate
the
conversations
that
we
were
having
in
the
city
around
the
issues
of
equity
and
I.
Think
that
this
is
a
very
important,
topical
subject
matter.
52%
of
the
population
are
women,
girls,
non-binary
and
trans
people,
including
people
from
gender,
diverse
communities
and
when
we're
building
our
city
services
and
designing
the
programming's
and
then
going
out
to
deliver
those
services.
N
What
ends
up
happening
is
that
sometimes
we
fall
short,
and
that
means
that
there
are
biases
that
are
built
into
the
programs,
not
necessarily
because
there
are
villains,
but
because
there
are
different
perspectives
that
are
missing
when
we're
actually
informing
the
process
to
deliver.
Those
programs
deliver
those
services
and
to
design
the
implementation,
and
so
what
ends
up
happening
is
that
we
end
up
spending
lots
of
money
to
deliver
these
services,
hoping
they
get
better
outcomes.
N
But
then
what
we
find
is
as
structurally
and
systematically
there
is
a
population
that
is
not
gaining
access
so
further,
for
example,
getting
to
councillor
Thompson's
point
about
how
could
a
gender
equity
strategy,
and
perhaps
this
the
office
could
have
prevented
violence
against
women
if
women
have
access
to
housing.
If
women
have
access
to
employment,
if
women
have
access
to
transit
in
the
more
remote
places
of
our
of
our
suburban
neighborhoods,
they
would
be
able
to
independently
through
their
own
means,
leave
those
abusive
relationships.
N
N
That
means
that
the
systems
and
the
services
that
we
are
designing,
the
city
to
provide
access
to
individuals
have
got
to
be
knitted
together
and
when
there
are
gaps
and
these
discriminatory
gaps
do
exist,
that's
when
people
fall
through
the
cracks
and
when
they
fall
through
the
cracks,
sometimes
it
can
be
lethal,
which
is
why
I
really
appreciate
that
there
has
been
some
conversation
focused
around
the
violence
impacts
and
poverty.
We
know
actually
is
one
of
those
subject:
matters
that
really
women
and
racialized
women,
in
particular
women
living
with
disabilities.
N
Women
who
are
trans,
identify
they
experienced
that
in
ways
that
many
of
us
will
not
necessarily
because
of
additional
privileges
that
we
have
and
if
we
don't
design
for
those
who
are
the
most
marginalized
in
our
marked
City,
it
means
that
we're
spending
a
lot
of
good
time
and
energy.
The
big
brains
are
coming
to
to
develop
these
systems,
to
build
our
parks,
to
build
our
community
centers
to
build
all
the
city
services
that
we
need,
including
housing,
including
transit,
but
were
somehow
excluding
access
to
that
population.
N
And
if
we
were
able
to
put
a
gender
lens
over
all
our
decision-making,
then
we
know
that
it's
going
to
build
equity
and
and
and
access
for
men
and
women,
boys
and
girls.
It's
actually
good
business
sense,
because
it
actually
helps
us
reach
the
constituents
that
we
desperately
want
to
reach
it
wants
it.
It
actually
enables
us
to
provide
service
to
those
who
most
deeply
need
it
and
actually
ends
up
being
a
bit
of
an
equalizer
with
respect
to
the
funding
of
organizations
that
the
city
provides.
N
Some
supports
to
I
think
that
we
can
acknowledge
that
the
funding
of
those
organizations
goes
directly
to
the
services
that
are
providing
in
those
communities.
This
strategy
that
which
will
be
developed
in
consultation
with
the
subject
matter,
experts
and
some
of
them-
are
in
the
room
and
I
there's
50
and
60
other
organizations
that
would
like
to
get
involved.
I
think
that
would
be
very
helpful
to
draw
upon
what
they
already
know.
N
So
we
don't
necessarily
need
to
reinvent
the
wheel
because
they're
already
doing
some
of
this
work,
but
what
they've
but
they've
struggled
with
is
how
do
we?
How
do
they
get
governments
to
help
bridge
those
structural
gaps
and
that's
why
this
strategy
is
going
to
help
become
that
sort
of
inclusive
place
where
people
can
get
involved
and
participate
in
delivering
better
services,
better
programs
and
better
outcomes,
and-
and
so
that's
what
the
big
difference
is
and
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
for
his
leadership
and
those
on
the
executive
committee.
N
Should
you
support
the
strategy
we're
going
to
be
doing
something?
Fantastic,
we're
actually
not
necessarily
leading
the
country
on
this
Montreal's
got
some
time
on
top
of
this
before
us,
and
so
does
the
City
of
Vancouver.
So
is
the
Ottawa
now
and
we're
definitely
far
decades
behind
cities
such
as
Vienna
in
Austria?
Thank
you
very
much.
Thanks.
E
Just
to
explain
why
I
was
pushing
on
you
know:
policy
development
as
well
as
developing.
You
know
the
lens
on
on
how
we
spend
sometimes
we
actually
succeed
and
then,
with
the
best
of
intentions.
We
create
more
housing
situations
and
we
and
we
we
move
women
in
abusive
relationships
to
the
top
of
the
list,
but
we
set
policies
that
unintentionally
continue
to
isolate
them,
because
we
haven't
really
put
a
lens
on
the
life
they're
living
you,
you
don't
actually
shed
an
abusive
spouse
in
one
day
ever
it
just
never
happens
that
way.
E
But
if,
if
we,
if
we,
we
do
all
the
good
things
here
and
we
move
some
into
a
new
house
and
and
everyone
in
their
social
circle
and
everyone
who
serves
in
the
placement
officer,
whatever
says
good
for
you,
you've
got
rid
of
that
person.
We're
putting
you
in
this
house
and
that
person
comes
back
and
there's
a
feeling
that
we
have
rigid
policy
around.
Why
you're
here
and
how
you'll
be
evicted?
That
person
will
not
tell
anyone
that
they're
having
trouble
shedding
that
spouse.
E
If
it's
affecting
the
children,
she
will
not
tell
the
school
because
they
might
call
Children's
Aid.
We
might
have
picked
her
from
your
housing.
Children's
hey,
Children's
Aid
has
rigid
policies,
and
so
sometimes
our
policies.
Although
we've
spent
money
and
had
the
best
of
intentions,
we
have
continued
to
isolate
that
person
until
you
have
the
situation
where
that
abuse
is
both
eventually
murders
that
partner,
and
so
that's,
why
I
think
this
office
has
to
be
ongoing
because
we
don't
just
need
them
once
a
year
time.
E
We
need
them
to
do
the
analysis
and
unpack
situations
unpack
every
report
that
comes
forward
from
the
Ombudsman
to
look
at
okay.
Now,
let's
put
this
lens
on
this
and
see
if
our
policy
played
a
part
here
and
how
do
we
adapt
it
to
build
the
support
in
to
never
repeat
history,
because
that's
a
little
piece
of
history
that
gets
repeated
again
and
again
through
the
generations
and
anyone
who's
lived
through
that
situation?
E
Well,
they
might
not
publicly
nod
their
head
they're
living
it
now
or
they
know
someone
who
has
lived
it
and
wishes
that,
instead
of
saying
hooray,
you
got
rid
of
that
spouse
wishes.
Instead,
they
had
said
it's
great
that
they're
gone,
but
it's
not
that
easy.
So
please
keep
talking
to
us
that
would
have
changed
the
whole
scenario.
Thank
you.
D
You
I'm
a
firm
believer
in
the
role
of
government
to
create
conditions
for
our
citizens
to
succeed
and
when
we
have
50
percent
of
our
population
that
is
still
facing
payment
gaps.
If
you
look
at
our
boards
and
they're
still
not
represented
leadership,
they're
still
not
represented
I
mean
there's
lots
of
work
to
be
done.
D
But
this
is
the
macro
and-
and
everybody
loves
to
talk
these
talking
points-
everybody
loves
it
and
when
I
was
reading,
this
report,
I
was
actually
reflecting
of
how
I
could
have
used
this
office
and
I
wanted
to
tell
you
about
this
example,
because
a
few
years
ago,
at
TC
HC,
we
really
wanted
to
get
more
women
involved
in
the
trades.
Because,
again,
we're
spending
a
lot
of
money
and
we
wanted
to
get
women
involved
in
the
trades
and,
for
example,
some
of
the
unions.
D
The
painters
union
said
they're
actually
excellent,
and
so
we
were
having
a
really
hard
time
and
we
came
across
the
fact
that
the
main
obstacle
was
daycare,
because
the
daycare
didn't
open
early
enough
for
them
to
leave
their
kids
and
daycare.
So
we
weren't
banging
our
heads
the
wall
to
try
to
get
women
involved,
trying
to
do
outreach
for
them
saying
this
is
a
great
career,
come
workshops,
everything
and
we
weren't
addressing
the
cause
of
the
problem.
They
really
wanted
to
do
that,
but
they
needed
an
hour
early
of
day
care.
D
They
were
receiving
subsidies
and
they
needed
that
daycare.
So
that's
the
issue
that
we
needed
to
address.
It
was
that
the
daycare
in
that
community,
if
we
really
wanted
to
address
that
issue,
so
I
am
hoping
that
this
is
the
kind
of
issues
that,
if
we
have
an
office
putting
that
lens
on
some
of
these
policies
that
we
actually
become
more
effective
and
efficient,
getting
our
end
results
and
and
create
those
better
opportunities
for
our
citizens
and
and
our
communities.
D
A
A
That
there
is
still
a
challenge
to
be
met
here
and
I
was
very
interested
in
hearing
the
breakdown
which
I've
read
before
in
the
context
of
this
report
and
others
as
to
the
existing
deployment
of
resources
that
are
trying
to
move,
move
us
forward
as
a
city
on
some
of
these
different
issues.
And,
of
course
it's
interesting
when
you
hear
once
again
that,
yes,
there
are
people
up
there,
but
a
specific
group,
for
example
that
are
devoted
exclusively
to
human
rights.
A
But
I
would
say
to
myself
if
we
have
at
the
same
time
and
I
did
have
said
to
myself
in
the
context
of
this
recommendation,
if
you
have
a
situation
where
I
think
I'm
right
in
saying
for
just
as
an
example,
49
percent
of
the
employees
of
the
City
of
Toronto
itself
are
women,
and
yet
20
percent
of
the
people
who
are
in
leadership
in
the
city
government
are
women
that
that
is
something
that
is
deserving
of
attention
just
to
name.
One.
A
There's
no
question
about
that
and
the
devotion
of
an
office
of
two
people
in
this
very
large
civic
administration.
That
does
many
things
for
many
people
to
me
is
something
that
is
going
to
create
opportunites
going
to
create
a
greater
degree
of
equity.
Hopefully
that's
the
purpose
here.
It's
going
to
deal
with
with
moving
forward
moving
us
forward
on
gender
equality,
but
it's
also
going
to
create
opportunities
in
better
lives
for
people.
A
I,
for
one
will
be
certainly
looking
to
see
in
in
the
same
context
as
I
do
with
respect
to
the
anti
black
racism
office
with
respect
to
the
poverty
reduction
program
itself,
a
work
plan
that
allows
us
to
know
what
the
office
is
going
to
be
doing
in
a
given
year
and
then,
of
course,
if
you
know
what
they're
doing
and
what
they've
said
they
want
to
do.
You
can
also
then
measure
what
they've
achieved
and
see
that
it
is
performing
the
roles
that
we
want
it
to
achieve.
A
Think
if
you
address
even
a
small
portion
of
all
of
those
things
I
mentioned
and
all
of
the
other
things
that
have
been
mentioned
by
the
deputies,
you
are
going
to
increase
economic
activity
and
increase
the
participation
of
women
in
the
economy
of
the
City
of
Toronto
and
the
economy
of
the
country
and
opportunity
for
them.
But
you
are
also
going
to
decrease
I
think
significantly.
A
The
amount
that
we
invest
in
all
kinds
of
areas
in
programs
that
are
meant
to
support
people
and
address
them
after
they've
fallen
into
a
position
where
they're,
where
they're,
where
they're
struggling
so
I,
think
that
there's
a
powerful
business
case
to
be
made
for
it
for
an
investment
here
of
three
hundred
thousand
dollars,
plus
out
of
a
city
budget
that
is
in
the
billions
of
course.
The
final
point
that
I
want
to
make
is
simply
this
I
sort
of
look
oftentimes
at
these
things.
A
A
Last
night,
you
know
how
we
do
things
here,
I
acknowledged
as
I
always
do,
and
we
all
do
I
think
that,
while
we're
leaders
and
the
city
manager
made
reference
to
this,
we
still
have
lots
of
work
to
do
in
order
to
achieve
a
situation
or
a
place
where
we
can
be
entirely
satisfied
with
that
and
I.
Think.
If
you
look
at
the
world's
leading
cities,
you
know
a
lot
of
them
are
falling
into
the
trap
of
sort
of
becoming
polarized
and
divided
thanks
to
people
who
are
out
trying
to
foment
that
sort
of
thing.
A
We're
not.
But
the
world's
leading
cities
are
also
dedicating
some
resources
to
achieving
exactly
what
is
talked
about
here.
We've
heard
the
mentioned
this
morning:
New
York
City,
Los,
Angeles,
Boston,
Vancouver,
Montreal
Ottawa.
These
are
cities
in
our
own
country
and
outside
and
I
guess.
I
would
just
say
to
those
who
are
critical
of
this
effort.
I
can't
imagine
a
situation
in
which
all
those
cities
and
all
of
their
mayors
and
all
of
their
councils
and
all
of
their
public
services
are
wrong.
A
A
Think
it'll
be
another
reason
why
we
can
be
proud
and
talk
about
our
city
when
they
say
why
Toronto
we
can
say,
because,
admittedly,
perhaps
this
councillor
long
time
say
a
little
later
than
some,
but
we're
doing
it
and
I
think
it's
something
that's
worthy
of
the
support
of
members
of
this
committee
and
I
hope
they
will.
Thank
you
so
hearing
no
other
comments.
If
there
aren't
any
I
will
ask
that
we.
A
A
So
I
will
ask
that
we
we
address
ourselves
to
the
question
on
the
recommendations
here
directing
the
city
as
we're
going
through
to
Council
that
the
city
people
office
will
be
directed
to
develop
a
City
of
Toronto
gender
equity
strategy
and
the
unit
and
the
resources
going
with
that,
and
so
I'll
ask
for
the
question
on
the
recommendation.
All
those
in
favor
sure
vote
on.
D
F
A
That
was
eight
point.
Seven.
We
did
eight
point.
Eight
what's
left
to
be
dealt
with
here.
We
have
next
the
eight
point:
nine,
the
child
transition
benefit
and
the
elimination
of
the
child
transition
benefit
and
our
response
to
that-
and
we
have
some
decadence
on
that.
We
have
two
and
the
first
is
Miguel
Evita
Velarde
you're
gonna
pass
up
the
opportunity
to
do
beauty.
Oh
thank
you.
We
go.
Okay,
that's
fine!
Thank
you!
Then
we
have
Jillian
Reis
Willowdale
community
legal
services.
A
Q
You
thank
you
for
having
me
here
today.
My
name
is
Jillian
Reis
and
I'm.
A
staff
lawyer,
Willowdale
Community
Legal
Services
as
part
of
my
role,
I
co-chair
the
social
assistance,
Action
Committee,
a
group
of
Toronto
legal
clinic
case
workers
who
support
each
other's
legal
work
and
advocate
together
about
systemic
issues
and
social
assistance.
I
am
here
to
talk
to
you
today
about
the
city's
role
in
addressing
the
provinces.
Elimination
of
the
transition
child
benefit,
Thank,
You,
Mara
Tori,
for
mentioning
earlier
the
issue
of
child
poverty
in
our
city.
Q
The
transition
child
benefit
is
the
social
assistance
benefit
for
children's
basic
necessities.
Things
like
food
clothing,
baby
formula
and
diapers
course.
Social
assistance
benefits
do
not
cover
basic
necessities
for
children.
Instead,
they
are
designed
to
integrate
with
the
Canada
Child
Benefit,
which
provides
most
children
with
financial
support
to
meet
these
basic
needs.
Q
For
example,
a
family
of
four
consisting
of
two
parents
and
two
children
receives
approximately
twelve
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
per
month
from
Ontario
Works,
whereas
a
family
of
six
with
two
more
children
receives
only
$88
more
to
meet
the
needs
of
their
children,
most
social
assistance
recipients
receive
between
450
and
500
and
$30.00
per
month
through
Canada
Child
Benefit.
The
TCB
is
for
families
on
social
assistance
who
do
not
qualify
for
or
receive
these
child
tax
benefits.
Currently,
families
receive
up
to
$230
per
month
per
child's
from
the
TCB.
Q
The
provincial
government
will
be
cutting
this
benefit
effective,
November
1st.
The
cut
will
affect
16,000
families
in
Ontario,
with
32,000
children
over
4,000
of
those
families.
Our
Ontario
Works
recipients
in
Toronto.
The
temporary
family
housing
benefit
proposed
today
is
a
needed
stopgap.
It
is
not,
however,
a
means
to
buy
time
for
our
most
vulnerable
community
members
to
find
alternatives
to
their
already
impoverished
budgets.
It
is
a
means
to
buy
time
for
the
City
of
Toronto
and
other
municipalities
and
other
advocates
to
convince
the
province
to
provide
children
with
shelter
and
food.
Q
Surely
some
families
will
be
able
to
file
their
taxes
and
become
eligible
for
the
Canada
Child
Benefit
within
the
next
six
months,
but
most
families
who
receive
the
TCB
will
not
be
eligible
for
the
tax
benefit
within
that
timeframe,
for
example,
families
may
receive
the
TCB
because
they
are
being
audited
by
the
CRA
and
their
canada.
Child
benefits
are
on
hold,
CRA
audits,
or
disputes
can
take
months
to
resolve.
Q
A
client
of
ours
was
out
of
the
country
for
a
few
years
when
she
returned
she
applied
for
the
Canada
Child
Benefit
again
and
was
assessed
with
a
historic
overpayment.
It
took
8
months
for
the
CRA
to
reinstate
her
benefits.
In
the
meantime,
she
would
not
have
been
able
to
afford
her
rent
without
receiving
the
TCB
for
her
two
children.
Of
course,
she
repaid
the
TCB
when
she
received
the
tax
benefit.
Q
Another
group
without
access
to
the
tax
benefit
as
residents
without
regularize
status,
refugees
make
up
35%
of
the
families
who
need
the
TCB.
Those
families
will
not
be
eligible
for
the
tax
benefit
until
they
become
permanent
residents
or
citizens.
This
includes
children
fleeing
persecution
in
their
home
countries
or
even
Canadian
born
children
whose
parents
are
seeking
protection.
Other
families
affected
are
those
who
encounter
changes
in
their
circumstances
in
the
middle
of
a
tax
year.
The
social
assistance
system
is
the
most
responsive
means
of
providing
financial
support.
Q
For
example,
if
a
child
changes
custody,
then
the
custodial
parent
might
rely
on
the
TCB
until
the
CRA
processes.
The
new
custody
arrangement,
without
this
benefit
families
may
be
unable
to
care
for
their
children.
During
the
transition
period,
the
province
is
responsible
for
targeting
the
most
vulnerable
children
in
our
society.
When
parents
become
unable
to
feed
their
children
or
pay
the
rent,
there
will
be
an
increase
in
evictions
and
homelessness
and
more
use
of
food
banks.
This
will
have
a
long,
lasting
impact
on
children's
health
and
development.
Q
These
cuts,
like
others
the
province
has
announced,
will
download
this
financial
obligation
on
to
Toronto
taxpayers,
while
kids
pay
the
ultimate
price
like
its
associates
and
other
municipalities.
The
City
of
Toronto
must
urge
the
province
of
Ontario
to
ensure
that
all
children
have
permanent
and
mandatory
access
to
the
basic
necessities
of
life.
Thank
You.
E
E
In
our
discussions
leading
up
to
this
meeting,
you've
indicated,
while
you
welcomed
their
request
in
the
in
this
to
ask
the
federal
governor
the
provincial
government
to
restore
not
cut
this
permanently
at
the
end
of
the
year,
but
to
restore
the
the
transition
child
benefit,
there's
a
bit
of
a
risk
there.
You,
you
have
placed
an
emphasis
on
the
real,
the
real
logical
funder,
for
this
needs
to
be
the
province
yeah.
Q
Q
It's
a
yearly
analysis
of
people's
eligibility,
and
on
top
of
that,
if
there
is
an
issue,
decisions
take
a
long
time,
there's
no
such
thing
as
interim
assistance
in
the
tax
system,
you
have
to
go
to
Tax
Court,
to
fight
something
like
an
audit
decision
and
so
there's
no
benefit.
There's
no
benefits
to
people
in
the
meantime.
The
second
reason,
though,
is
that,
fundamentally,
this
is
a
social
assistance
issue.
The
province
is
obliged
to
provide
social
assistance
to
children
and
Canada
child
benefit.
Eligibility
doesn't
absolve
the
province
of
that
issue.
Q
Historically,
the
province
actually
provided
social
assistance
through
sorry,
provided
this
benefit
through
the
social
assistance
system,
and
it
was
actually
removed
and
put
into
the
tax
system
in
order
to
broaden
eligibility
to
low
income
earners
and
the
TCB
was
created
in
recognition
that
not
all
not
all,
residents
of
Ontario
would
be
able
to
access
the
child
tax
benefit,
so
they're
actually
meant
to
work
together.
Yeah
the
transition
child
benefit,
isn't
something
separate
from
the
Canada
child
benefit.
It's
an
integrated
system
right.
E
And
and
just
one
other
question
mr.
mayor
you're
also
concerned
and
I'll
ask
this
question
of
staff,
but
I
just
found
out
yesterday.
You're
also
concerned
in
changing
this
to
what
we're
calling
a
temporary
housing
allowance.
You're
worried
about
some
of
the
other
things
that
that
families
in
crisis,
particularly
refugee
hotel
residents,
use
the
benefit
for
in
the
interim,
don't
appear
to
apply
to
the
temporary
housing
benefit
right.
A
A
E
About
the
dependence
concern,
we're
changing
it
to
call
the
temporary
housing
benefits.
The
analysis
shows
that's
that
that's
the
biggest
use
of
the
dollars,
particularly
if
someone
is
ready
to
move
out
of
the
hotel
or
some
of
the
folks
whose
circumstances
change
faster
than
the
tax
system
can
recognize
a
lot
of
it
sometimes
just
keeps
them
in
their
house.
K
Through
the
chair,
this
proposal
is
not
meant
to
replace
TCB.
It
is
trying
to
address
the
issue
that
these
individuals
made
housing
decisions
based
on
the
amount
of
income
that
they
had
at
that
time
we
worked
very
hard
to
get
them
housed
and
out
of
the
shelter
system.
So
we
have
a
group
of
individuals
that
are
now
in
housing
that
they
will
no
longer
be
able
to
afford
and
at
risk
of
being
D
housed
and
therefore
will
bounce
back
to
the
shelter
system.
So
it's
intersecting
issue
right.
K
In
order
to
replace
the
TCB,
it
would
cost
the
city
of
Toronto
22
million
dollars
of
year,
something
that
obviously
we
cannot
continue.
So
this
is
simply
to
address
our
issue.
Have
the
people
that
are
receiving
TCB
today,
that
will
be
d
housed
and
putting
additional
pressure
on
the
shelter
system.
So.
E
So
what
what
is
the
plan
for,
for
instance,
again,
it
only
represented-
represents
thirty
five
to
forty
percent,
depending
on
the
week
or
month,
for
instance,
families
who
are
refugee,
they
may
be
placed
in
one
of
our
hotels
and
they
are
waiting
to
be
eligible
for
the
full
canada
eligibility
fund.
Some
are
through
their
sponsorships
and
such
ready
to
move
into
housing,
and
so,
if
they're
getting
the
TCB
or
we're
getting
the
TCB,
often
it
gets
used
for
housing.
It
can
sometimes
be
prey.
E
You
know
form
some
of
their
first
and
last
month's
rent
and
get
them
in
there,
but
if
they
need
that
benefit
just
to
sustain
those
kids
but
they're
not
ready
to
move
out
of
the
hotel,
are
we
saying
that
this
temporary
housing
benefit
would
not
then
flow
to
them?
Nor
would
the
TCB
they've
been
receiving
up
until
now,
a.
K
E
Is
there
I'm
sorry
for
this,
but
but
so
is
there
some
other
social
measure
that
you're
planning
for
those
in
the
situation
I
just
described?
What
will
they
do
when
the
TCB
just
disappears,
but
they're
not
yet
eligible?
It's
not
a
housing
need
they
have
its
diapers
its
food.
It's
that
it's
it's
I've
never
experienced
winter
before
and
I
suddenly
have
to
buy
outerwear
for
three
kids.
What
do
they
do
about
that
through.
E
F
F
Hoping
to
keep
people
housed
and
help
them
find
how
to
continue
to
find
affordable
housing
for
them
with
this
reduced
benefit.
But
we
will
be
working
with
our
intergovernmental
office
to
have
discussions
with
the
province
on
the
fair
on
how
to
replace
or
make
up
this
difference,
because
it
is
you're.
F
A
B
K
What
we
have
covered
it
through
the
chair,
what
we
have
covered
in
the
report
is
what
will
happen
if
approximately
twenty
to
thirty
or
fifty
percent
of
those
families
become
d
housed
and
bounce
back
to
the
shelter
system.
So,
by
making
this
investment
of
eight
point
four
million
dollars,
we
would
save
money
that
we
might
have
to
use
for
shelter
so
with
an
offsetting
investment,
because
we
feel
that
the
cost
of
the
shelter
system
would
be
something
that
we
could
not
sustain,
never
mind
that
we
don't
have
capacity
in
general
right.
B
And
just
I
realized
a
question
for
staff,
but
mr.
mayor,
if
I
can
ask
you
a
question,
what
steps
will
you
be
taking
to
address
this
particular
issue
both
with
the
province
and
the
federal
government,
because
I
think
the
federal
government
does
have
some
responsibility
with
this
issue,
irrespective
of
the
provinces
position
in
terms
of
cutting
the
contributions
that
they're
making
I'm.
A
Going
to
to
embark
on
advocacy
with
both
governments,
because
I
believe
and
I'll
address
myself
in
my
own
remarks
later
on
to
this
I
believe
you
know,
I
think
we've
seen
actually
some
very
helpful
and
positive
signs
from
the
current
government
of
Canada
that
they
acknowledge
that
when
it
comes
to
the
issue,
for
example,
of
housing
and
shelter
for
Refugees
that
they
have
some
responsibility
there
and
so
I'm
hopeful.
The
same
will
be
extended
to
actually
helping
people
to
stay
in
housing.
A
E
You
being
a
bit
of
a
nuisance
this
morning,
I'm
gonna
be
be
asking
councillor
Ainsley
to
to
add
a
recommendation.
I
I
think
you
heard
from
the
deputy
that
that
came
from
the
Willowdale
legal
clinic
that
it's
welcome,
that
one
of
the
recommendations
here,
while
we're
setting
up
this
temporary
solution,
that
that
the
mayor
doesn't
bark
and
and
staff
embarked
on
a
robust
campaign
to
try
and
get
them
to
restore
this
child
benefit,
but
I
think
the
discussion
kind
of
and
the
analysis
that
staff
have
done
sort
of
displays.
E
The
danger
that
was
in
this
thing
all
along
this
was
a
very
flexible
sort
of
benefit.
That
was
that
was
allowed.
That
really
temporarily
addresses
changing
circumstances
and
when
you're
dealing
with
something
that
is
not
it
that
this
is
not
something
a
benefit
that
you
go
on
and
you
stay
on.
It
becomes
generational
within
a
poverty
family,
it
addresses
a
certain
circumstance
until
you
become
eligible
for
what
is
permanently
available.
E
So
so
it's
not
that
hard
to
deliver
if
only
the
province
would
would
want
to
continue
to
do
so
because
we're
nimble
enough
to
be
able
to
tell
them
who
needs
it
and
when
so,
two
to
lobby
them
vigorously
not
to
eliminate
it
or
to
restore
it,
as
the
recommendation
asks
is,
is
very,
very
helpful,
but
I'm
asking
that
executive
committee
and
councils
support
an
additional
recommendation
that
the
province,
who
is
the
natural
person
to
deal
with
this?
You
know
you
look
for
the
sweeping
national
programs
in
the
federal
government.
E
They
create
equity
and
poverty,
elimination
across
the
country,
but
a
province
can
be
a
little
more
nimble
and
address
those
social
situations
that
arise.
Immunise
municipality
can
be
extremely
nimble
and
and
has
the
resources
on
the
ground
to
be
able
to
target
those
resources
for
the
province
and
so
I
think,
while
we're
going
through
this
difficult
phase
with
their
partners
at
the
province,
we've
got
to
continue
to
keep
the
eye
on
who
should
be
doing
what
and
recommended.
So
while
we
make
these
recommendations,
could
the
Friends
of
the
province
do
something
I?
E
Think
it's
important
to
point
to
point.
The
way
to
the
province,
you
should
look
at
what
we
just
found
out
in
the
main.
This
money
tends
to
go
to
housing
and
so
we're
looking
at
a
temporary
stopgap
here
that
we're
calling
a
temporary
family
housing
benefit
because
that's
the
biggest
thing
this
money
gets
spent
on.
Maybe
that's
the
thing
that
should
exist,
and
so
I'm
asking
that
we
had
a
recommendation
that
the
government
look
at
adopting
this
temporary
housing
benefit.
E
That
we're
going
to
agree
is
Council
to
fund
for
six
months
as
something
that
they
ought
to
permanently
be
delivering,
because
this
is
wealth
redistribution
at
its
purest,
and
so
it
should
be
coming
from
an
income
tax
and
it
should
be
coming
from
the
most
localized
income
tax,
that
being
provincial,
so
I.
Welcome.
E
All
the
recommendations
in
here
I'm
so
grateful
that
staff
have
found
this
solution,
because
there
are
users
for
this
in
spades
in
Ward
17,
but
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
city
council
also
requests
the
government
of
Ontario
specifically
adopt
the
temporary
family
housing
benefit
as
a
permanent
provincial
II
funded
program
to
provide
that
continued
support
so
that
they
they
look
at
our
solution.
As
perhaps
that's
the
thing
you
should
have
been
delivering
all
along
and
counselor
is,
will
move
it
for
me
and
I'm
grateful
for
that.
Thank.
A
You
councillor
Carroll
others
wishing
to
speak,
okay.
Well,
you
know
I
I'm,
just
gonna
say
a
few
words
if
I
might
I
I'm
sorry.
What
do
we
have?
Oh,
yes,
I
have
a
motion
here
that
City
Council
requests
the
federal
provincial
governments
to
immediately
fund
the
transition
child
benefit
to
prevent
increased
pressure
on
Toronto's
shelter
system.
So
it's
really
just
asking
this
province
to
restore
some
participation
and
asking
the
federal
government
if
they
might
come
in
and
I'll
address
myself
to
that
as
I
go
through
I.
A
Look
at
this
and
say:
well,
if
you
know
what
is
the
impact
gonna
be
and
we've
seen
in
the
report,
and
we've
heard
answered
questions
today
that
the
impact
is
gonna
be
hundreds
of
dollars,
for
example,
on
a
family
that
has
three
children
and-
and
we
know
from
the
report
we
just
know
from
our
own
experience
with
this.
There
are
two
principle
groups
that
will
be
affected
by
this.
A
The
one
is
refugee
families
and
asylum
claimants,
and
the
other
is
a
group
of
people
who
are
in
the
sort
of
a
transitional
phase
where
they've
lost
jobs
and
they
apply
for
social
assistance
and
I.
Think
if
you
look
at
those
groups
and
look
sort
of
down
below
the
top
level
and
see
the
housing
that
they're,
in
which,
in
many
cases,
we
help
them
to
arrange
through
streets
to
homes
through
all
the
different
efforts
that
we
make
and
we've
had
quite
a
bit
of
success.
A
A
You
know
information
that
if
you
remove
two
hundred
and
thirty
or
four
hundred
and
sixty
or
six
hundred
and
ninety
dollars
or
any
amount
bigger
than
that
from
families
like
that,
that
by
definition
are
going
to
be
in
housing,
that
was
hard
fought
to
get,
and
that
is
probably
difficult
for
them
to
continue
to
afford.
As
it
is
with
that
money
that
if
they
lose
that
money,
the
ability
that
they
will
have
to
stay
in,
that
housing
will
be
at
least
severely
jeopardized.
A
And
we
know
that
two
things
happen,
then,
if
they
lose
that
housing
first
of
all,
they
need
housing,
so
they
lose
their
housing.
But
secondly,
we
know
another
reality
of
all
this,
which
is
what
irritates
me
the
most
about
these
steps
taken
by
the
government
of
Ontario,
which
is
that
they
end
up
on
our
doorstep
once
again,
the
City
of
Toronto
or
other
cities
in
this
province,
because
it
isn't
confined
to
us,
but
we're
here,
dealing
with
our
own
affairs.
A
That's
now
soon
to
be
upon
us,
which
is
the
winter
and
I
will
tell
you
that
I'm
frustrated
I'm
exhausted,
with
this
continuous
pattern
of
behavior,
where
the
provincial
government
abdicates
a
field
knowing
as
they
do
where
the
responsibility
ends
up
when
they
do
so
because
they
know,
or
if
they
don't
know,
then
they're
acting
irresponsibly,
that
these
are
benefits
that
are
flowing
to
human
beings
who
are
using
it
to
pay
for
their
housing.
So
they
should
ask
the
question
before
they
do
away
with
a
transitional
benefit.
A
Well,
how
is
this
going
to
affect
people
and
where
are
they
going
to
end
up
and
they
know
where
they
end
up?
They
end
up
with
us.
They
end
up
knocking
on
our
door.
They
end
up
with
the
level
of
government.
That
is
right
here
right
now
in
Toronto.
It's
us
because
we're
here,
it's
it's
our
city,
we're
responsible
for
and
III
can
take
the
time
and
I
won't
take
much
to
be
critical
of
the
federal
government.
A
In
that
a
big
part
of
this
problem
is
the
time
that
is
being
taken
to
adjudicate
on
the
claims
of
those
who
are
seeking
asylum
or
who
are
claiming
refugee
status
in
this
country.
There
are
people
who
describe
those
people
as
illegal
immigrants,
and
you
learn
on
first
day
of
law,
school
and
those
who
don't
even
go
to
law
school
can
easily
figure
out
the
fact
that,
under
our
Charter
of
Rights
and
Freedoms,
you
are
entitled
when
you
come
here
to
either
claim
asylum
or
refugee
status
to
due
process.
A
A
It
just
doesn't
provide
any
basis
at
all
as
to
why
this
benefit
should
be
or
can
be
removed
for
this
group
of
people,
especially
when
it
has
the
effect
of
causing
them
to
lose
their
housing.
And
so
it
is
why,
notwithstanding
and
I'm,
not
happy
at
the
fact
that,
yet
again,
we
have
to
step
up,
because
we
cannot
look
these
people
in
the
eye.
We
cannot
open
the
door
and
find
them
standing
there
and
say
no,
and
so
sorry
about
that
there
just
is
no
money
for
you
for
your
housing.
A
We
are
better
off
to
keep
them
in
the
housing
that
they're
in.
While
we
embark
on
a
vigorous
campaign
of
advocacy
to
both
of
the
other
governments
and
it's
why
I
will
vote
for
councillor
Carroll's
motion
on
the
basis
that
it
suggests
something
the
province
should
do,
but
I'll
also
vote
for
my
own.
Obviously
that
says
we
have
to
advocate
to
both
the
governments,
because
I
would
find
it
quite
an
acceptable
outcome.
A
It'll
cost
us
more
money
than
this
transitional
benefit
will
cause
for
the
next
six
months,
but
I
don't
like
us
stepping
in
to
effectively
fill
shoes
that
are
gap
that
is
created
deliberately
by
by
a
government
that
took
a
decision
knowing
what
would
end
up
happening
here.
So
I
hope
people
will
support
these
motions
and
support
the
item
itself
and
join
me
in
advocating
to
make
sure
we
get
a
different
result
of
sooner
than
six
months
from
now,
but
at
the
very
latest
at
six
months
from
now.
A
C
Have
a
motion
move
for
counselor
Carroll
if
we
can
put
it
on
the
screen,
I'm
going
to
be
supporting
this
motion,
I'll
be
supporting
meritorious
motion,
one
of
the
things
that
I
get
asked
about
all
the
time
or
more
often
than
not,
since
this
council
was
merged
down
to
24
councillors
was.
Are
you
saving
money?
You
must
be
saving
money
in
time
and
generally
now,
I
sit
at
people.
You
know
what
we
a
smaller
Council
and
we
spend
more
money
and
we
spend
more
money
because
the
province
keeps
cutting
and
downloading
on
us.
C
I
had
a
town
hall
meeting
the
other
night
Mary
Tory
and
they
were
asking
about
the
the
school
permits
going
up
and
for
the
in
the
school
gym.
They
said
the
permit
doubled
and
they
like
counselor
like
do
something
about
it
and
I,
said
well.
There's
a
municipal
budget
and
there's
a
school
board
budget.
The
school
board
is
facing
cuts
by
the
province
they're,
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
make
ends
meet
they're,
raising
permits.
C
If
you
go
to
school
hungry,
you
don't
study,
you
don't
listen
to
the
teacher.
I
have
kids
that
they
go
hungry
at
lunchtime
and
it
trickles
right
through
the
entire
system.
You
don't
learn
you
don't
graduate.
You
don't
go
to
college
or
university,
you
don't
get
a
job
and
if
you
don't
get
a
job,
it
cycles
circles
right
back
to
us
as
a
municipality
trying
to
find
people,
housing
and
support
benefits,
and
you
know
this
is
another
perfect
example
of
the
current
government
costing
our
municipality
more
money
and
I
think
it
needs
to
stop
I.
C
A
Francie
any
other
comments,
otherwise
I
think
we're
ready
to
deal
with
the
emotions
and
with
the
item
as
amended,
assuming
depending
how
we
deal
with
those
motions.
So
we
have
motion
number
one
which
is
moved
by
knee
to
ask
both
of
these
governments
to
fund
a
transitional
child
benefit
to
prevent
increased
pressure
on
us
and
I'll
call
the
question
on
that
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carry.
A
Then
we
have
motion
number
two
moved
by
councillor
Ainsley
to
across
the
government
of
Ontario
to
adopt
the
temporary
family
housing
benefit
as
a
permanent
provincially,
funded
program
and
I'll
call
the
question
on
that
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried,
and
then
we
have
the
item
as
amended
by
these
two
motions.
So
I'll
call
the
question
on
the
amendment.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
Kerry.
A
A
No
not
on
this
no
but
I'm,
just
trying
to
think
I
know
we're
moving
along
I'm
just
asking
if
we
could
deal
with
16
if
there's
time
to
deal
with
it
before
I
launch
I,
don't
think,
there's
a
definite
item.
Yep,
oh
sure,
because
we
have
items
to
deal
with
on
which
there
are
deputations.
That
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
in
15
minutes.
We
had
left
what
we
could
get
done
so
that
we
have
less
to
do
after
lunch.
We're
definitely
coming
back
after
well,
I
mean
in
your
hands,
I
mean
we
could.
A
If
you
thought
we
could.
We
might
be
and
I
think
just
looking
at
these
things.
We
might
be
another
hour
just
because
I
think
the
item
on
the
gun,
the
police
and
so
on
will
take
a
little
while
because
there
are
some
deputations,
so
I'm
just
being
realistic
and
saying
it's
gonna
be
an
hour
if
you'd
like
to
work
through
I'm
happy
to
do
that
myself,
but
I.
A
I
think
it'll
be
an
hour,
but
that's
only
an
hour,
its
2015,
it's
not
so
our
people
amenable
to
that
I
have
a
meeting
at
lunchtime.
I
actually
have
a
phone
call
as
well
myself,
which
I
could,
but
so
I
think
I
think
we'll
take
a
lunch
break.
It's
and
in
the
executive
committee
it's
only
an
hour,
so
we'll
be
back
at
1:30
and
I
think
we
can
finish
in
less
than
an
hour
after
that.
If
we
deal
with
816
now
which
we
can.
C
Have
a
motion
to
move
that
I've
worked
with
with
the
CIO
our
deputy
city
manager,
if
I
can
put
it
on
the
screen
that
the
City
Council
requested
chief
technology
officer
information
and
technology
and
consultation
with
the
city
clerk
to
include
offices
of
members
of
council
and
the
implementation
of
the
city's
cloud.
First
approach
to
modernize
to
more
cloud
services,
including
all
productivity
tools.
C
Briefly,
this
is
just
err,
you
know,
as
we're
dragging
the
city
into
the
21st
century.
We
have
a
number
of
tools
that
this
this
part
of
the
report
actually
speaks
to
the
Auditor
General
and
her
email
system,
and
it's
just
making
better
use
of
the
technology
that
were
provided.
I've
had
a
good
conversation
already
with
the
interm
CIO
and
I'd
like
to
move
forward
on
this.
Okay.
A
Are
there
any
questions
of
the
mover,
otherwise
I'm
quite
prepared
to
to
put
the
question
on
the
amendment
here
and
then
to
approve
the
item
as
amended,
so
all
those
in
favor
of
the
amendment
pose
carried
and
then
the
item
as
amended
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried.
That
was
easy,
maybe
I'll
just
suggest
and
I
think
I
could
cut
down.
In
my
our
estimate
to
Council
in
Seattle
that
we
could
also
move
to
item
8.2,
one
was
being
held
for
a
deputation
Miguel,
Avila,
Velarde
or
you're
up
on
that.
A
Are
you
wishing
to
depute
on
that?
Okay?
Well,
then,
why
don't
you
come
up
and
do
that
now
we
have
time
to
do
that
before
lunch
and
also
I
mean
you
won't
have
to
wait
because
I
don't
think
you're.
Oh
yes,
you're
up
on
the
next
side
of
two,
but
you
can
come
on
me.
It's
eight
point
two
one.
If
the
members
of
committee
are
willing
to
move
to
that
item,
because
that
will
take
I
think
a
short
time
and
then
we'll
just
have
the
one
item
left
to
deal
with
after
lunch.
G
Much
my
discipline,
my
displeasure
started
in
December
2018
on
December
15.
On
the
same
effect,
2018
I
was
told
that
if
I
need
to
go
to
the
worsens,
I
need
to
get
a
key
I
had
to
request
access
into
the
third
floor
city
council
Russians
in
as
I
protested,
this
the
corporate
security
review
the
rules
and
decided
that
no
longer
the
washing
will
be
closed
on
the
turf
floor.
G
City
Council
during
City
Council
days
so
I
have
received
information
that
that
situation
has
been
resolved,
but
I
continue
pursuing
asking
for
special
accommodations
because
see
this
is
the
situation
we
serve
touring.
You
see
you
come
into
our
neighbor
region
/.
Here
you
are
with
your
scooter.
In
that
situation
you
are
vulnerable.
G
Imagine
yourself
going
to
the
third
floor,
City
Council
and
your
they
said
we
changed
our
our
rows.
I
am
here
and
you
are
I
am
sitting
at
City,
Council
and
I.
Don't
have
to
be
a
scream
by
anybody.
Let
look
at
yourself
in
the
square.
Imagine
put
yourself
in
a
situation
where,
when
you
go
to
the
washroom
at
third
floor,
City
Council
third
floor,
they
ask
you,
you
need
to
be
a
screen.
Every
time
you
go
into
the
Washington
to
use
the
version.
G
How
so
is
that,
especially
if
we
have
diabetes
diabetes
required
that
you
go
to
three
turns
to
use
the
public
services
and
the
public
washings?
In
my
case,
that's
at
the
point
I
tried
to
make
with
Josie
scholarly
and
all
the
members
of
her
team
cooperative
security.
They
replied
to
me
with
an
incredible
solution.
G
They
asked
me
Miguel,
look
regard.
We
got
a
solution
for
you,
we're
gonna,
give
you
a
washroom
card,
a
special
washroom
pass.
You
will
have
access
to
that
to
the
third
floor
counsel
if
the
lines
are
busy
with
the
skimming
a
screening
desk,
the
magic
wand,
you
know,
and
the
metal
detector
set
up
on
the
third
floor.
You
know
what
mr.
mayor
going
back
to
your
picture
here.
You
you
in
that
situation,
I
want
you
to
understand
how
someone
with
disabilities
has
to
protest
the
concept,
the
consultations
or
the
of
the
third
floor.
G
City
Council
security
enhancements.
They
failed
to
communicate
with
the
disability
and
access
committee.
They
failed
to
communicate
with
people
of
disability,
communities
and
and
going
back
to
the
story
of
the
Toronto
Star.
Why
do
we
implement
a
better
friendly
community
access
to
commit
city
council
right
going
back
to
the
story?
Why
can
we
improve
it?
Instead
of
creating
barriers
for
accessibility
with
people's
like
I,
have
been
coming
to
ten
years
to
City
Council
I,
never
having
offended
so
much
by
asking
every
time
I
go
to
the
washroom
Miguel.
G
You
need
to
remove
everything
from
your
pockets.
You
had
to
empty
everything
in
your
bag
up
to
three
times,
I
get
a
screen.
I
have
asked
them
well
I'm
talking
about
intelligent
people.
Why
can't
they
just
move
the
table?
There's
the
screen
station
in
the
metal
detector,
so
they
can
facilitate
the
flow
of
people
or
just
grandfather
me
because
I've
been
coming
to
City,
Council
and
I.
Don't
have
any
trouble
in
the
city.
G
Council
chambers
I
need
to
use
the
Russians,
but
I
being
asked
time
in
turn
again
I
had
to
you
know
it's
awful
when
you
have
a
Dutch
disability
to
be
a
screen
time
and
time
again
for
just
using
a
public
washroom
I
think
we
can
do
better.
I,
think
that
is
Massillon
comments
and
suggestions
for
City
Council
can
improve
the
image,
and
hopefully
this
will
save
money,
because
we
don't
want
to
go
to
court
to
fight
this.
Really.
Mr.
Joe
put
yourself
in
my
shoes.
That's
all
I
want
to
say
thank.
A
A
You've
acknowledged
they
tried
to
by
creating
this
card,
which
was
an
attempt
to
accommodate
the
fact
that
it
didn't
make
sense
to
have
somebody
you
know
not
able
to
get
in
and
out,
but
we'll
we'll
look
into
that
with
them
and
see.
If
there's
a
better
way
to
do
this
I,
you
know
they're
constrained
in
terms
of
the
space
they
have
in
the
security
requirements.
A
We
now
have,
unfortunately
at
City
Hall,
but
that's
the
way
it
is,
but
thank
you
for
the
deputation
and
I
think
councilor
new
tiada
has
moved
the
item
and
so
I'll
call
the
question
on
that
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried.
Now
we
have
what
do
I
see
there
about
seven
minutes.
I
think.
Maybe
what
we
should
just
do
is
just
move
ahead
and
have
lunch,
because
we've
got
to
deputations
plus
discussion,
I'm
sure,
because
I
know
there
are
people
that
are
gonna,
be
here
to
speak
to
the
is
he
well?
A
Of
course
you
never
know
he
could
show
up
it
at
a
given
moment.
But
having
said
that,
if
he
isn't
here,
then
there's
one
I
have
a
I
could
I
could
have
sent.
The
chair
I'd
noticed
that
we're
sort
of
perilously
close
to
the
losing
quorum
I
have
a
phone
call
with
a
minister,
an
important
phone
call
at
12:30,
it's
just
when
it
was
scheduled
because
we
thought
we'd
be
taking
lunch.
I'm
amenable.
If
there
are
enough
people
here
to

A
I
A
To
be
considered
because
she
did
have
an
interest
in
it,
and
the
police
have
left
yeah,
okay,
I
apologize,
they
will
have
to
come
back,
then
the
police
have
left
too
and
they
there.
If
there's
any
questions
of
them,
they're
not
here
so
we'll
come
back
at
1:30
and
we'll
see
you
then
and
we'll
get
this
done
and
I'm
sure
they
quickly
at
that
time.
Thank
you.
