You
know
that
our
up
the
street
on
Queens
Park
members
of
the
provincial
government
have
raised
20%
of
their
housing
allowance
for
themselves
because
they
do
recognize
them
see.
The
Toronto
has
a
home
homeless,
housing
crisis
so
I
when
I
go.
What
counsellor
me
and
I
below
say
yesterday
that
we
have
been
acting
activities
for
a
long
time?
I've
been
an
activist
for
10
years
of
this
issue
of
poverty
and
housing.
I
have
been
involved
in
so
close.
The
housing
gap-
and
you
know
during
those
days
Stephen
Harper
was
the
Prime
Minister
and
we
were.
C
Now
that
we
have
doubt
for
as
our
premier
in
Ontario
can
we
have
some
kind
of
action
moving
forward
to
ensure
that
we
get
20%
as
well
in
our
housing,
our
shelter
portion.
If
you
are
aware,
Ontario,
Works
and
Ontario
disability
pension
plan,
they
have
a
sign
and
amount
of
money
that
they
need
to
cover
the
expenses
for
housing
for
renting
a
room.
It's
now
it's
not
a
feasible
for
many
I
am
very
happy
that
grateful
Durham
CCAC
and
allows
me
to
have
the
money
to
to
rent
and
unity.
C
C
C
We
have
ten
properties
that
are
used
to
be
property
or
the
first
nation
of
this
or
they
of
this
country
or
this
great
nation.
My
question
to
you,
I'm,
a
comment
to
mr.
Murray
is
moving
forward
when
the
provincial
and
the
federal
governments
are
able
to
release
the
properties
that
there
can
be
assigned
to
us
for
housing
properties
in
development.
C
Whatever
would
there
be
any
consultation
with
first
Aboriginal
people,
because
we
always
say
that
this
is
our:
this
is
a
territory
owned
by
previous
our
he
knows
people,
but
my
question
is
you
know
we
need
to
have
a
consultation
happening
as
we
move
forward
with
this
probe
housing
strategy.
Thank
you
very
much
sure.
Okay,
that.
D
So
I
want
to
preface
my
comments
by
acknowledging
that
the
city
has
attempted
to
address
the
needs
for
affordable
housing
on
public
lands,
rather
than
succumbing
to
the
pressures
to
sell
the
land.
That
being
said,
an
unforgivable
element
of
the
privatization
of
our
public
assets
is
still
taking
place
by
allocating
the
majority
of
housing
on
these
sites
at
market
rent
and
market
ownership.
This
is
a
huge
shortfall
that
has
lethal
implications.
I
would
urge
this
committee
to
reconsider
the
city's
role
in
pushing
for
more
deeply
affordable
housing
and
social
housing
on
public
lands.
D
With
that
in
mind,
I
am
deeply
concerned
about
the
future
implications
of
this
model
if
it
were
to
be
incorporated
into
a
long
term
housing
strategy,
as
outlined
in
the
recommendation
30,
the
city,
is
taking
on
the
commendable
role
of
advocating
for
affordable
housing
on
surplus
provincial
lands.
Yet
one
of
the
key
sites
outlined
in
this
list
is
11
Braque
an
abandoned
LCBO
property
and
Parkdale
that
has
been
sitting
vacant
for
over
three
years,
due
to
political
limbo
between
the
city
and
the
province.
D
This
property
has
been
activated
by
the
unique
visioning
of
the
Park
Hill
neighborhood,
land
trust,
Cota
and
community
members
who
dream
of
deeply
affordable
and
supportive
housing
in
Parkdale.
It
was
also
occupied
by
housing
activists
on
national
housing
day
to
demand
for
100%
social
housing
on
the
site.
This
demand
emerged
from
the
part
dáil
community
benefits
framework,
which
was
created
over
the
course
of
18
months
through
a
community
driven
process
of
consultation
and
data-driven
analysis
to
develop.
D
Our
demand
for
100%
social
housing
encompasses
a
range
of
affordability,
including
at
least
40
percent,
deeply
affordable
units
for
people
living
on
social
assistance
and
rent
geared
to
income
for
people
living
on
low
income.
So
my
question
for
the
committee
is:
how
do
you
ensure
that
the
housing
now
initiative
does
not
interfere
with
genuine
community
driven
demands
for
deeply
affordable
housing?
We
need
the
political
will
of
councillors
to
address
the
current
state
of
emergency
in
housing
and
security.
We
need
opportunities
for
transitional
and
permanently
affordable
housing
to
address
the
shelter
crisis.
D
We
need
supportive
housing
to
alleviate
social
and
economic
pressures
for
people
living
with
mental
health
and
addictions
and
to
alleviate
pressures
on
the
health
system.
We
need
deeply
affordable
housing
to
allow
for
people
living
on
social
assistance
to
survive,
and
we
need
housing
for
the
working
poor
who
cannot
afford
80
percent
of
average
market
rent.
Thank.
E
D
D
Our
recommendation,
at
least
through
the
park
Dale
analysis
that
we've
developed,
is
a
hundred
percent
social
housing
on
public
lands
that
can
still
encompass
a
wide
range
of
affordability
in
order
to
cross
subsidize
those
housings.
Yet
the
ultimate
goal
is
to
ensure
that
it's
held
under
social
ownership
so
that
it
doesn't
privatize
the
accommodation
sure.
D
I
think
what
you're
speaking
to
is
a
lot
of
the
historic
sites,
conflicts
that
do
arise
through
public
housing
models
right
and
the
way
that
they
were
created
traditionally
over
time.
One
of
the
core
issues
with
that
model
was
the
lack
of
maintenance
that
occurred
within
those
units
and
the
lack
of
social
supports
that
were
embedded
into
the
housing
itself
when
we
advocate
for
100%
social
housing.
We're
also
looking
at
that
with
the
range
of
social
policies
connected
to
that
I.
D
Don't
necessarily
see
it
as
an
either/or
opportunity,
and
it
also
encompasses
models,
as
we've
heard
from
earlier
today,
such
as
coop
models,
where
you
can
still
allow
for
mixed
income
communities
to
take
place
and
allow
for
cross
subsidization
through
that,
as
I
mentioned
before,
but
I
would
potentially
say
that
I,
don't
necessarily
agree
with
that.
The
stance
that
you
take
in
terms
of
it
being
a
hotbed
of
criminal
agent
so.
E
I'm
not
taking
any
stance
I'm,
just
telling
you
what
people
tell
me
and
so
I'm,
not
particularly
taking
a
sense
and
that's
why
I
wanted
to
ask
you
to
help
to
clarify,
so
we
get
a
better
perspective
of
your
views
because
that's,
unfortunately,
the
prevailing
attitude
or
perspective
it's
most
people
tend
to
have
when
you
time
tend
to
put
certain
types
of
people
in
a
specific
area
and
it
becomes
more
marginalized.
That
is
intended.
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
chair.
Thank
you.
F
As
an
eight
as
an
acorn
member
I
agree
with
a
coin
that
we
need
more
affordable
housing,
it's
that
being
a
fort
apart
is
where
it
gets
sketchy
who
was
it
affordable
to
certainly
not
people
on
ODSP
rrow?
Even
if
the
rent
portions
of
both
ODSP
and
o
w
benefits
are
doubled
or
increased
100%
people
on
ODSP
ro
W
could
only
afford
a
cheap
room
and
could
not
afford
a
bachelor
unit
or
one-bedroom
apartment
without
dipping
oops
sorry
without
dipping
into
the
basic
needs
portion
of
their
benefits.
Ergo.
F
The
basic
needs
portion
also
needs
to
be
increased.
To
allow
this,
the
basic
needs
portion
should
be
doubled,
so
the
people
on
these
benefits
can
eat
healthy
and
properly,
as
well.
I
have
heard
it
said
it
costs
$200
a
day
to
keep
one
person
in
a
shelter
which
works
out
to
six
thousand
dollars
a
month.
You
have.
People
on
ODSP
are
only
allowed
1167
maximum
on
their
benefits.
For
this
$200
a
day
to
shelter,
someone
in
an
overcrowded,
often
violent
place
is
simply
wrong.
F
These
people
could
actually
have
actual
hotel
rooms
and
feel
safe
and
secure
for
the
same
money.
Speaking
as
the
founder
of
poof
protecting
ODSP
or
w
funding,
I
would
say
that
the
seventies
thinking
that
somehow
affordable
subsidized
or
rent
geared
to
income
helps
simply
doesn't
work.
I
am
on
or
DSP
and
a
client
of
TCH
see
the
money
generated,
does
not
cover
repairs
and
upkeep.
F
Many
people
in
TC
HC
are
unhappy
and
would
like
to
move
because
of
noise,
cleanliness,
abuse,
drug
traffic
and
crime,
but
are
forced
to
remain
and
be
subjected
to
it
because
they
cannot
afford
to
move.
This
is
under
punishment
for
those
who
want
to
live
normal
lives.
How
long
must
this
punishment
continue?
Why
is
it
somehow
a
crime
to
be
disabled
or
poor?
When
does
our
sentence
end?
F
This
painting
of
the
stabled,
the
poor
and
the
homeless
with
the
same
brush
has
definitely
got
to
be
put
to
a
stop,
as
it
is
unfair,
inhumane
and
cruel.
How
many
times
must
will
you
be
called
frauds,
cheats,
scammers,
thieves
or
criminals?
They're
perpetuating
of
this
myths
by
these
statements
by
the
government,
media
and
powers-that-be
are
unconstitutional
and
she
be
looked
at
by
the
Human
Rights
Tribunal,
these
short-term
fixes
or
propping
up
of
the
existing
systems.
It's
just
plain
foolishness
the
in
the
city
should
be
thinking
long
term
and
start
pressuring.
F
The
provincial
government
on
behalf
of
Torontonians,
who
are
on
ODSP
and
o/w,
to
increase
benefits
enough
for
clients
to
be
able
to
afford
market
rent
units
on
the
low
end
of
the
scale.
People
who
don't
make
enough
money
to
cover
the
rent
or
low
income.
Families
should
be
given
a
rent
supplement,
so
they
too
can
afford
an
apartment
at
market.
Rent,
affordable
housing
is
cheap
housing
and
it
doesn't
stand
the
test
of
time.
The
unit's
come
into
disrepair
more
quickly.
F
The
need
is
the
help
is
needed
for
those
with
mental
issues
to
make
sure
they
are
able
to
keep
their
apartments
and
to
make
sure
it
doesn't
become
a
hoarders
nest
or
become
too
filthy
for
the
tenant
to
live
in
because
they
are
incapable
of
looking
after
it
or
themselves
due
to
their
mental
illness.
The
shuffling
of
the
brain
has
got
the
blame
has
got
to
stop
and
someone
needs
to
stand
up
and
take
responsibility
for
the
most
vulnerable.
What
about
you?
Why
is
it
up
to
us
disabled
people
to
fight
for
ourselves.
F
B
G
Thank
you
for
your
time
today.
My
name
is
Anitha
Tessa
Portillo
I
grew
up
in
Parkdale
and
I
now
work
there
as
the
community
benefits
organizer
at
Parkdale
people's
economy.
I
want
to
start
off
by
thanking
housing
justice
advocates
present
today.
I
am
here
to
bring
some
of
the
party'll
community
benefits,
demands
to
this
table
for
meaningful
consideration
and
we'll
also
offer
some
recommendation
from
the
Parkdale
neighborhood
land
trust.
G
We
demand
that
additional
surplus
city-owned
sites
and
neighborhood
improvement
areas
such
as
South
Park
Hill,
be
added
to
this
list.
We
demand
that
the
proposal
increased
the
portion
of
affordable
rental
units
to
at
least
two-thirds
of
units.
We
demand
100%
social
housing
overall,
with
a
variety
of
housing
types
such
as
rental,
cooperative,
limited
equity
and
supportive
housing.
We
also
demand
a
range
of
affordability
levels
from
shelter
rates
to
average
market
rates,
even
with
100%
social
housing
and
in
particular
coops
or
nonprofit
rental.
G
It
is
possible
and
helpful
to
have
a
portion
of
units
rented
at
market
rent
to
provide
cross-subsidization
for
the
project
as
a
whole.
This
means
mixed
income
communities,
but
no
profit
extraction.
We
demand
that
buildings
developed
on
these
sites
be
not
nonprofit
owned.
It's
fine
to
have
developers
build
buildings,
but
nonprofits
need
to
be
the
final
owners.
We
demand
that
the
requests
for
proposals
and
procurement
rating
system
provide
substantial
benefits
to
applicants
providing
deep
affordability,
supportive
housing
serving
equity
seeking
groups
and
people
exist,
the
exiting
homelessness.
G
We
demand
community
and
resident
oversight
of
the
RFP
process.
There
is
a
real
risk
that
this
becomes
a
giveaway
to
developers,
it's
fine
for
developers
to
build
the
housing,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
nonprofits
and
community
govern
organizations
and
end
up
as
the
owners.
We
demand
that
at
least
10%
of
units
be
dedicated
for
indigenous
housing
providers.
I
will
conclude
by
urging
councilors
here
to
take
serious
these
demands,
as
they
were
carefully
defined
in
a
deep
and
rich
community
visioning
planning
project
in
Parkdale.
H
Hi,
my
name
is
Connie
I'm,
the
president
and
CEO
of
renovate
Healthcare
Center,
that
is
a
206
bed,
rehab
hospital
in
the
West
End
of
Toronto
I'm
here
today
on
behalf
of
the
REC
I
Center
and
University
Health
Network,
as
we
are
all
building
long-term
care
facilities
in
the
City
of
Toronto.
Currently
there
are
four
thousand
nine
hundred
and
fifty
four
Toronto
residents
waiting
for
long
term
care.
Just
in
Toronto
central
in
it's
actually
been
deemed
a
crisis,
there's
a
number
of
announcements.
We
hope
that
will
come
out
over
the
coming
months.
H
But
again
the
question
that
sort
of
piggy
backs
to
the
need
is:
can
we
afford
to
build
these
facilities
currently
right
now,
47%
of
long-term
care
bed
capacities
need
to
be
redeveloped
to
meet
new
standards.
860
of
those
beds
have
given
notice
to
the
lens
that
they're
moving
out
of
Toronto
because
of
the
costs
to
redevelop.
What
we
would
like
to
see
is
that
the
development
levees
that
are
to
nonprofit
long-term
care
facilities
that
care
for
the
frail
and
the
elderly
seniors
of
the
City
of
Toronto
not
be
charged
to
our
facilities.
H
I
built
a
hospital
less
than
eight
years
ago,
nine
years
ago,
on
the
same
land
with
some
of
the
same
types
of
patients,
the
hospital
was
not
charged
development
fees.
Yet,
when
we're
building
these
long-term
care
facilities,
development
fees
are
being
levied
against
us.
What
we're
asking
respectfully
is
that
you
consider,
when
you're
looking
or
having
staff
look
at
it
to
exempt
nonprofit
long-term
care
facilities
from
these
levies.
We
really
deal
with
the
most
vulnerable
populations.
H
We
want
to
build
them
in
the
City
of
Toronto,
the
benefits
I'm
sure
you
all
know
about,
but
there
has
to
be
some
help.
The
comparison
in
building
a
hospital
to
long-term
care
there's
no
comparison.
The
standards
are
more
rigorous,
the
the
they're
larger
because
they're
home
Mike,
yet
the
funding
doesn't
support
the
standards.
So
it's
twenty
twenty
one
thousand
dollars
I
think
per
bed
for
my
facility
alone.
H
H
The
hospital
is
partnering
with
in
order
to
get
the
approval
from
the
province,
but
I
think
the
city
has
to
also
step
up
and
support
and
say
that
not
only
do
we
want
long-term
care
facilities,
but
we're
not
going
to
do
this
to
them
when
they're
nonprofits.
That's
it.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
E
You
very
much
mr.
chair
through
you,
mr.
jack,
so
the
concern
you
have
is
that,
in
order
to
provide
capacity
for
the
some
four
thousand
people
who
are
looking
for
long-term
care,
it's
it's
challenging
and
the
challenge
comes
from
the
cost
to
you,
as
in
terms
of
developing
a
site
based
on
the
DCs
and
so
on.
That
has
to
be
paid
well.
H
H
H
I,
certainly
can't
tell
you
how
to
do
it.
What
I'm
asking
you
to
consider
us
is
to
really
look
at
us
through
the
lens
of
the
same
as
hospitals,
for
example,
we're
nonprofit.
We
provide
for
the
greater
good
and
meeting
the
most
vulnerable
communities
in
our
neighborhoods.
We
want
to
keep
them
in
their
neighborhoods.
In
order
to
do
that,
there
are
many
many
hurdles.
This
just
seems
to
be
one
more.
E
H
So
development
fees
would
fall
would
be
our
responsibility,
so
there's
a
funding
envelope
and
it's
very
limited
and
what
happens
is
when
you
start
to
develop
and
it's
not
a
negative,
but
when
you
start
to
develop
in
the
City
of
Toronto,
the
setbacks
or
the
trees
or
anything
because
we're
nestled
right
in
a
neighborhood,
a
community,
the
costs
start
to
add
up
well.
Most
of
the
provincial
funding.
H
You
would
think
are
greenfield
sites
right
where
they
can
go
in
and
you
can
develop
and
build
when
we
start
meeting
the
requirements
with
the
City
of
Toronto
planning
and
we
start
meeting
with
the
neighbors
which
we're
happy
to
do.
We
think
we
want
to
be
a
great
neighbor.
The
costs
add
up
very,
very
quickly
and
I
think
this
is
one
area
that,
aside
from
separating
out
the
requirements
around,
you
know
any
kind
of
parking
or
any
kind
of
you
know
setbacks
because
of
the
neighborhood
or
any
kind
of
landscaping.
H
Development
fees
just
don't
make
sense.
It
doesn't
make
sense
to
to
put
this
on
the
back
of
the
nonprofit's
who
are
building
these
long-term
care
seniors
homes.
It
just
defies
logic.
Why
would
I'm
looking
at
council
Annunziata
she's,
not
gonna,
look
at
me
anymore,
but
I'm
gonna,
look
at
you
Frances
and
say
no,
because
what
I'm
gonna
say
is
West
parks,
wonderful
facility
building,
a
beautiful
Hospital.
It's
paid,
no
development
fees,
no
development
fees
and
it's
because
it's
categorized
under
a
hospital
I'm,
a
hospital
building,
a
long-term
care
facility
and
there's
a
waitlist
right.
H
B
B
I
K
I
J
I
I
understand
some.
Some
of
my
other
colleagues
will
be
asking
about
deepening
that
level
of
affordability,
but
for
those
outstanding
rental
units
that
are
not
deemed
to
be
affordable,
but
rather
out
of
market
purpose-built
rental
right.
What
protections
exist
to
ensure
that,
given
that
the
provincial
legislation
has
changed
and
we
no
longer
have
rent
control
on
new
builds,
does
the
city
have
the
capacity
to
implement
protections
to
ensure
that
there
is
rent
control
and
eviction
protection
for
those
market
based
purpose-built
rental
units.
J
I
In
the
interest
of
the
minute
and
15
seconds
that
I
have
left,
I
will
follow
up
offline
on
that
on
the
supportive
housing
element
and
perhaps
I'll
go
to
mr.
Raftis
from
s
sha
the
current
waiting
list
in
the
city
of
Toronto
for
supportive
housing
as
governed
through
the
provincial
access
list.
What
is
it
through.
I
L
I
M
J
J
Through
the
chair,
no,
it
wouldn't
have
done
that
recognizing
that
these
are
difficult
and
challenging
business
cases
to
put
together
to
make
this
particular
program
before
you
work.
We
believe,
based
on
experience
recently
with
the
West
Don
lands
and
the
Ontario
government
that
we
can
achieve
the
99
year
lease
and
that's
what
we're
setting
up
to
do
and.
M
Is
there
any
concern
that
that
the
ownership
of
this
of
these
sites
or
the
the
market
sounding
process,
the
procurement
process,
perhaps
could
come
back
without
adequate
nonprofit
housing
collaboration
and
and
therefore
we
went
out
to
the
market
and
their
market
said
this
is
this
is
the
best
that
we
can
do?
Does
that
leave
us
in
a
position
that
is
weaker,
because
we
we
weren't
stronger
in
our
language,
saying
that
you
must?
We
require
you
to
work
with
nonprofit
housing
providers
through.
M
And
if
we
were
to
create
the
tools
that
will
allow
the
nonprofit
to
come
in
to
bid
so,
for
example,
where
you
were
create
we're
putting
aside
20
million
dollars
to
create
a
new
bureaucracy
to
navigate
the
existing
bureaucracy,
to
build
deeply
a
forward
to
build
some
rental,
purposeful
rental
housing
and
some
affordable
housing.
So
if
we
were
to
invert
that
model,
twenty
million
dollars
would
go
out
to
support
the
nonprofit
sector
as
opposed
to
creating
new
positions
of
the
city
to
navigate
the
existing
bureaucracy.
J
N
Thank
you.
Could
you
just
run
over
the
percentages
in
one
place
because
I'm
finding
from
the
recommendations
and
the
charts
that
I
need
to
put
that
all
together,
mm-hmm
and
I
see
in
the
Rex
there's
a
discussion
about
home
ownership,
but
I
don't
see
that
anywhere.
I
haven't
heard
that
yet
today.
So
if
we
look
at
chart
page
25.
N
N
J
J
N
N
Also,
we
did
hear
today
about
the
large
number
of
units
and
land
that
already
existing
supportive
housing
agencies
and
nonprofits
have
that
we
haven't
had
that
conversation.
So
I
guess
I'll,
ask
mister
garden,
bringing
those
folks
together
to
look
at
what
potential
there
is
for
redevelopment
on
those
sites.
Is
that
something
that
we
could
do
through
housing
now
and
that
assistance
to
nonprofits?
Or
would
you
see
that
as
a
separate
exercise
completely.
F
J
P
O
On
the
Mart,
through
the
chair
on
the
market
component
of
the
housing,
they
would
be
subject
to
section
42,
not
on
the
non
non
profit
component.
That
would
be
waived
regarding
section
37.
It
would
be
part
of
the
planning
process
that
you'll
be
seeing
is
separate
approvals
that
you'll
be
processing.
The
the
general
comment
I
made
about
effect
in
Section
37
is.
We
would
typically
use
it
to
secure
the
affordable
housing.
Is
a
mechanism?
O
O
P
On
the
site,
50
Wilson
Heights-
that
was
part
of
the
tippet
Road
regeneration
study
and
in
2015
it
was
adopted
by
council
that
whole
regeneration
area
and
an
amendment
was
moved
and
it
carried
that
said
on
the
lands
north
of
Wilson
Avenue,
a
broad
range
of
retail
and
commercial
uses
will
be
permitted.
Now,
that's
that's
an
exclude,
affordable
housing,
but
do
we
have
to
go
back
to
council
and
reopen
the
entire
tippet
regeneration
process?
So
we
walked
worked
on
that
for
years.
O
Through
the
chair,
this
is
part
of
an
application
that
create
has
filed
with
the
city
and
it's
being
considered
as
part
of
that
application,
and
certainly
we
would
look
at
any
of
these
projects
as
as
building
as
building
in
the
opportunities
for
mixed-use.
So
in
that
case,
having
a
retail
component
or
employment
component
in
the
project
or
other
community
uses
would
be
perfectly
appropriate
for
the
kind
of
development
that
you
would
want
to
achieve
there,
and
that
will
be
part
of
our
planning
review
on
the
application.
Okay,.
P
E
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
chair
for
you
to
staff.
I
would
ask
this
question.
Do
we
understand
the
issue
that
we're
facing
complex
as
it
is
regarding
shelters,
the
need
for
permanent
housing
and
so
on
transitional
element?
Do
we
understand
this
issue
that
we're
proposing
to
create
a
fix
for
yes
or
no
is
be?
Suffice.
K
What
we're
currently
in
the
process
of
doing
is
reviewing
the
market,
demographics
and
we're
researching
out
and
consulting
with
stakeholders
and
the
public
to
understand
what
the
need
is
and
the
heart
of
the
new
housing
plan
that
we
bring
forward.
This
fall
is
gonna.
Look
at
the
full
spectrum
of
need
right
across
from
shelters,
comprehensive.
E
I
Q
E
E
J
Through
the
chair,
more
recent
experience
with
respect
to
affordable
housing,
including
the
revitalizations
of
the
Toronto
Community
Housing
sites,
has
been
a
mixed
income
model
and
actually,
since
the
1970s,
a
mixed
income
model
has
essentially
been
the
direction
in
which
government
policy
and
programs
have
gone.
By
way
of
example,
the
st.
Lawrence
neighborhood
is
a
terrific
example
of
a
mixed
income
neighborhood
and
given
the
size
and
scale
of
these
developments,
it
doesn't
preclude.
J
R
O
Would
just
comment
generally
that
the
through
the
chair,
that
the
opportunities
on
each
site
there'll
be
a
range
of
opportunities
on
each
site
and,
if
divisions,
for
example,
have
identified
a
need
in
that
area
for
a
daycare
or
other
community
services
or
park,
it
could
be
included
in
part
of
that
development.
Some
of
the
sites
are
quite
large
and
they
may
afford
that
kind
of
opportunity
and
we'll
look
as
we
go
through
these.
O
R
J
Threw
the
chair
very
briefly,
counselor.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
There's
a
number
of
definitions
one
could
use.
The
definition
that
has
been
talking
about
in
part
today
has
been
rank
geared
to
income
our
subsidized
housing,
and
that
essentially,
is
housing
where
the
household
is
paying
no
more
than
30
percent
of
their
income
on
housing,
regardless
of
what
their
income
happens
to
be.
So
if
their
income
goes
down,
it
gets
adjusted
to
30
percent
or
if
their
income
goes
up,
it
gets
adjusted.
J
This
is
a
feature
of
a
program
that
is
primarily
the
social
housing
program.
There
is
no
longer
funded
by
the
federal
and
provincial
governments,
another
definition
and
the
one
is
being
referenced
in
the
report
before
you
relates
to
rent
levels
and
we
through
the
Official
Plan
define
affordable
as
no
more
than
the
average
rent
in
Toronto.
This
report
in
front
of
you,
though,
takes
another
definition,
which
is
it
says
that
it
would
be
no
more
than
on
an
average
of
80
percent
of
the
average
market.
J
A
O
Through
the
chair,
I
think
you
know
it's
on
us
basically
to
facilitate
that
and
we're
looking
at
a
number
of
things,
including
what
the
report
recommends,
which
is
dedicated
staff
to
focus
in
a
in
the
comprehensive
way
on
getting
these
sites
brought
forward.
Pries
owning
these
sites
is
also
a
big
wave
for
shortening
the
process,
because
you're
not
dealing
with
the
back-and-forth
that
normally
happens.
O
The
city
will
sponsor
and
initiate
the
pre
zoning
on
the,
for
example,
on
the
first
four
sites
and
get
them
going
and
get
them
out
to
the
market
as
quickly
as
possible
and
then
come
back
after
the
procurement,
with
more
specific
plans
from
specific
proponents
and
then
and
then.
Finally,
just
the
overall
coordination
making
sure
that
the
divisions
respond
to
the
technical
requirements
of
these
various
sites
and
making
sure
we
can
move
them
forward
for
councils
consideration
as
quickly
as
possible.
Okay,.
A
O
An
estimate
you
can,
you
might
appreciate
to
the
chair
that
we've
done
initial
and
the
initial
level
of
work
with
create
tio
and
others
on
understanding
the
development
capacity
these
sites
and
understand
that
we
want
to
build
good
planning
and
complete
communities,
we're
taking
them
through
an
official
plan
lens
just
like
we
would
any
other
development,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
most
out
of
them,
of
course,
but
in
a
way
that
creates
contextually,
appropriate
development
for
these
communities.
Okay,.
A
And
then,
as
I
look
at
other
jurisdictions
around
North
American,
the
one
that's
top
of
mind,
New
York
City,
where
they
created
a
new
set
of
they
call
them
quality,
affordable
guidelines,
quality,
affordable
housing
guidelines.
Are
we
doing
anything
like
that?
Looking
at
other
jurisdictions
where
they
how
the
affordable
housing
fits
into
a
neighborhood
in
terms
of
design,
walkability
to
transit
and
grocery
stores,
for
example,
through.
O
The
chair
I
believe
we
were
fairly
well
equipped
actually
in
Toronto,
we
know
development
very
well
and
we've
been
we've
done.
Some
work,
for
example,
recently
on
housing,
families
and
vertical
communities,
and
and
understanding
the
needs
of
those
families
in
in
vertical
housing,
so
we're
in
pretty
good
shape
in
understanding
how
to
do
transit,
oriented
development,
how
to
do
mixed
income
communities
how
to
do
complete
communities.
They
were
in
we're
in
good
position
to
be
able
to
facilitate
excellent
development
on
these
projects.
Okay,.
A
And
then
my
last
question
just
around
parking
six
six
of
these
are
on
current
public
parking
lots.
How
are
we
going
to
be
incorporating
the
parking
into
these
projects?
Are
we
gonna
be
looking
at
the
standard
parking
ratio?
Are
you
looking
at
lowering
it
or
I'm?
You
know,
there's
a
large
expense
to
to
building
public
parking.
O
Through
the
chair,
I
think
our
planning
response
to
that
would
be
that
we
don't
want
to
do
anything
that
induces
undue
demand
and
create
more
congestion
on
our
roads.
These
are
transit
oriented
sites,
so
we
want
to
take
the
most
advantage.
We
can
about
building
good
local
mobility
in
those
communities
and
making
sure
that
people
have
a
choice
to
use
other
modes
through
each
application
will
be
looking
how
to
manage
the
travel
demand
on
each
in
each
area,
and
we
know
that
development
itself
actually
generates
more
transit,
ridership
than
commuter
parking.
O
S
Thank
you,
Thank
You,
mr.
chair
councillor,
Crawford.
Thank
you
mr.
chair.
Just
some
numbers
questions,
I.
Guess
the
city
building
fund
that
the
20
million
is
gonna
be
coming
from.
Can
you
describe
you
know
we
put
this
in
place
a
couple
of
years
ago,
but
can
you
describe
that
the
fund
and
is
this
a
proper
use
of
those
funds?
I?
K
S
Was
understanding
a
big
part
of
this
point
five
over
the
three
years
is
really
using
that
that
tax
money
to
leverage
debt
to
be
able
to
achieve
a
lot
more
in
a
long
term.
How
does
the
impact
of
removing
twenty
million
dollars
from
even
though
it's
justified
I
recognize
it's
justified?
But
how
does
that
impact?
The
long
term
I
guess
leveraging
ability
of
this
fund
that
we've
created
or
not.
K
S
S
S
Understanding
so
just
to
follow
up
then,
on
the
framework
I
mean
at
what
point
will
or
not
I
mean
when
I'm.
Looking
at
the
the
delivery
framework,
there
is
the
administrator
there's,
a
staff
level
approval
and
there's
reporting
back
to
the
create
EO
at
what
point
during
this
process
or
not
is,
is
anything
coming
back
to
the
executive
us
to
get
a
sense
of?
Is
it
working?
Is
it
not
working
on
this
initial
twenty
million
dollar
investment
so.
K
Through
the
chair,
what
the
the
report
is
proposing
is
that
business
case
has
to
be
developed.
We
have
to
do
diligence
and
prepare
a
business
piece
for
each
site.
That
business
case
has
to
make
financial
and
economic
sense
and
it's
cool.
It
has
to
be
in
order
to
expedite
that
process
and
not
Institute
or
any
further
delays.
If
the
business
case
makes
sense
to
the
deputy
city
manager
for
corporate
services,
the
city's
chief
financial
officer
and
treasure
and
the
create
tio
board,
then
it
would
proceed
to
the
next
step.
K
We
would
report
annually
to
committee
and
council
on
the
status
of
each
of
the
sites,
but
right
now,
recommendations,
report,
delegate
authority
to
senior
both
senior
management
positions
to
sign
off
on
the
business
case.
If
the
business
case
does
not
make
sense,
we
will
be
coming
back
to
Council,
okay,.
K
K
K
J
K
J
Through
the
chair,
the
fee,
waivers
and
property
tax
exemptions
for
the
affordable
component
of
the
of
the
units
represents
two
hundred
and
eighty
million
dollars,
and
there
will
also
be
a
contribution
towards
from
land
at
discounted
rates
for
the
leases.
That's
not
being
quantified
specific
to
this
report,
because
those
will
result
is
coming
out
of
the
business
cases.
Okay,
so.
K
There's
where
we're
basically
putting
a
program
together
in
the
absence
of
a
social
housing
program
that
they
used
to
have
is
one
of
the
reasons
that
why
you're,
actually
even
putting
a
million
dollars
for
us
to
work
with
the
nonprofit's,
is
to
see
that
if,
together,
we
can
leverage
on
the
new
programs
that
we
have
in
front
of
us.
That's.
K
K
K
B
B
My
area,
probably
it's
almost
crossings-
were
probably
taking
some
of
the
most
the
densest
and
most
number
of
units
of
probably
any
of
the
sites
and
Donald's
Crossing
is
receiving
seven
thousand
seven
hundred
units
in
in
and
around
that
area.
That's
what
I've
was
told
by
the
Planning
Department,
which
is
a
massive
unprecedent
number
of
units.
B
So
if
I'm
told
that
there's
going
to
be
an
expedited
process,
I
understand
the
idea
of
wanting
to
build
affordable
housing,
but
from
a
if
you're,
the
local
councillor,
there's
a
certain
level
of
concern
that
the
planning
process
is
adhere
to
and
if
there's
an
expedited
process.
Can
you
give
me
some
assurance
that,
within
that
expedited
process,
you're
not
going
to
cut
any
that
the
Planning
Department
is
not
going
to
cut
any
that
there's
gonna,
be
full
community
consultation?
B
O
Through
the
chair,
absolutely
we
wiII
be
undertaking
these
applications,
as
we
normally
would.
In
fact,
I
would
say
we're
going
to
have
to
pay
particular
regard
to
the
community
consultation
component
to
make
sure
that
people
appreciate
are
able
to
participate
and
add
value
to
consideration
how
we
build
out
these
projects.
It's
gonna
be
a
critically
important,
a
part
of
making
us
successful.
B
O
Absolutely
we
use
the
the
planning
jargon
of
building
these
complete
communities
very
much,
so
37
is
a
way,
especially
through
the
market
housing
component,
to
make
sure
that
we've
leveraged
community
benefits,
whether
they
be
parks,
daycares
new
community
services.
In
these
in
these
areas
that
are
building
a
new
with
a
range
of
incomes,
we
know
that
these
communities
need
those
services
to
be
successful.
So
we'll
be
mindful
of
that
through
the
planning
process
that
we've
been
undertaking
in
that
area.
When.
B
When
the
when,
when
this
expedited
process
is
complete
and
those
applications
come
if
this
council
supports
us,
comes
to
the
Planning
Committee,
will
each
development
be
a
separate
item
in
which
the
community,
each
community
will
be
able
to
singularly
deal
with
each
particular
issue,
as
opposed
to
one
omnibus
report
where
communities
might
not
be
able
to
get
their
fair
hearing
in
a
committee?
Yes,.
O
B
I
And
so,
when
you
combine
all
of
those
factors,
it
creates
for
far
too
many
a
deeply
unaffordable,
City
and
I
think
tragically,
as
we
hear
far
too
often,
and
see
see
either
in
our
own
wards
or
in
the
headlines.
Far
too
often,
it
combines
to
create
a
deadly
city
where
people
are
dying
due
to
a
lack
of
housing,
and
so
whether
you
call
it
a
crisis
and
emergency
a
disaster
or
whatever
you
call
it.
I
It
is
urgent
and-
and
it's
incumbent
on
all
of
us
to
build
a
more
affordable
City,
and
so
how
do
we
do
that?
How
do
we
build
a
more
affordable
City
and
how
do
we
provide
enough
housing
options
to
and
critically
address
chronic
homelessness,
which
we've
heard
a
lot
about
today?
So
we
have
a
and
it's
on
every
level
of
that
housing
ladder
that
we
have
to
take
action.
I
I
We
have
a
waiting
list
of
15,000
people,
it's
to
provide
enough
shelter,
spaces
for
the
9,000
homeless,
but
critically,
a
pathway
o
to
the
shelter
spaces,
those
homes,
and
so
our
city-owned
land
is
our
most
valuable
asset
and,
in
this
term
of
counsel,
I
can't
think
of
a
more
important
item
and
a
more
timely
item
for
our
first
agenda
for
our
first
time
on
first
agenda
of
executive,
then
to
deal
with
our
city-owned
land
towards
building
a
more
affordable
City.
That's
critical
and
I
want
to
commend
staff.
I
Bring
this
forward
and
I
want
to
commend
councilor
by
Lao
and
the
mayor
for
making
this
the
first
item
here.
I
do
believe
that
the
item
in
front
of
us,
while
a
tremendous
start,
can
be
better
and
go
further
and
I.
Think
between
now
and
council,
it's
on
us
to
do
that
and
I
think
there's
a
couple
of
critical
areas.
We
can
do
that.
One
is
as
it
relates
to
supportive
housing
and
the
other
is
to
to
seek
to
address
some
of
the
summit.
I
M
You
very
much
mr.
chair
I
think
it's
important
and
thank
you
very
much
staff
for
for
bringing
forward
the
report
and
I'd
also
like
to
thank
the
mayor
and
councilor
by
allowing
this
committee
for
the
time.
I
also
would
agree
that
it's
it's
it's
a
fantastic
start
to
the
conversation
and
I
know
that
this
conversation
around
building,
affordable,
housing
building
a
livable
city
is
going
to
continue.
This
will
not
be
our
first
time
addressing
it.
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
take
a
look
at.
M
What's
happened
in
other
jurisdictions,
and
perhaps
so
we
don't
have
to
go
too
far
in
recognizing
that
there
are
other
models
out
there
that
perhaps
can
give
us
an
outcome
that
can
be
measured
against
what
we're
looking
at
today.
So
st.
Lawrence
Market,
which
everyone
seems
to
point
to
as
a
model
that
we
should
replicate,
I,
think
it's
important
that
that
the
22
hectares
of
st.
Lawrence
was
produced
was
developed
and
3500
units
were
produced.
57%
of
that
was
nonprofit
owned
and
forty
seven
forty
three
percent
was
privately
owned.
M
It's
also
important
to
recognize
that
they
built
in
a
model
of
affordability,
even
for
the
market
rents
and
what
they
did
was
that
they
measured
that
there.
If,
with
the
escalation
of
operating
expenses,
that's
how
they
would
increase
the
rent,
not
necessarily
against
the
rate
of
inflation.
So
if
we
were
to
take
a
look
at
how
we
can
actually
keep
those
rents
affordable,
perhaps
there's
a
way
to
condition
that
right
now
the
City
of
Vancouver
is
struggling
with
exactly
the
same
problem
that
we're
struggling
with
here.
But
they
did
something
very
different.
M
What
they
did
was
they
unlocked
seven
sites
and
they
are
going
to
build
2,500
new,
affordable
homes
and
they
will
be
all
purpose-built
rental
and
they
plan
to
keep
that
entirely
in
the
hands
of
nonprofit
housing
providers.
So
they're,
basically
doing
the
same
thing,
we're
doing
unlocking
City
land,
but
they've
got
a
different
model
being
put
forward
and
they
will
create
2,500
units
by
2021.
M
The
Thistle
town
proposal,
which
we
just
approved,
that
city
council
not
too
long
ago,
which
actually
took
provincial
lands
and
unlocked
that
it's
important
to
note
is
pretty
much.
The
same
thing,
government
owned
land
going
out
to
the
to
the
market,
but
what
they
did
was
that
they
require
that
all
those
lands
were
going
to
be
kept
in
the
ownership
of
nonprofit
organizations,
and
that
includes.
R
N
Thank
You
mr.
chair
again,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
council
by
law
for
bringing
this
as
first
item.
Let's
talk
about
housing,
it's
the
new
term
and
I
think
everyone
was
discussing
this
issue
in
the
election
time
and
here's
the
in
the
report
appendix
four.
We
note
that
the
provincial
government
has
quite
a
bit
of
land
here
in
the
city,
including
48
acres
at
51
panorama,
court
I'm,
not
sure
where
that
is,
but
all
the
folks
here
who
want
to
talk
to
the
province.
N
N
The
model
that
we're
using
is
one
that
we
have
used
before
I
think
it's
close
to
a
model
used
at
the
st.
Lawrence.
It's
also
very
close
to
the
model
that
Toronto
Community
Housing
uses
to
redevelop.
The
own
lands
has
pointed
out
earlier.
They
are
just
replacing
the
social
housing
that
was
built
5060
years
ago.
N
Building
new
with
new
housing,
new
rental
on
their
land
should
be
one
of
our
goals,
and
it
is.
It
is
number
32
on
the
recommendations
and
I'm
very
happy
about
that.
I'd
like
to
add
artists
onto
that
list.
For
a
long
time,
we've
had
a
goal
to
have
affordable
places
for
artists
I'm
not
going
to
do
this
now.
N
I'll
do
that
at
Council,
and
we
have
our
Toronto
music
strategy
and
artists
are
somewhere
in
there
in
the
34
thousand
dollar
range
for
all
the
professions
that
are
being
listed
there
I
also
just
want
to
run
through
the
numbers,
because
I'm
just
crunching
them
he
and
say
that
there
will
be
these
10,000
units
I
see
one
third
of
them
are
market
private
units
and
I'm,
assuming
that
includes
the
affordable
housing
ownership
component.
That
mr.
N
Gannon
spoke
about,
and
we
have
one
third
market
rental
and
we
know
there
is
a
real
need
for
market
rental
housing.
We
haven't
built
in
much
new
market,
a
rental
housing
just
regular
market,
regular
rental,
and
of
that
we
have
to
make
sure
that
Airbnb
that
those
aren't
all
going
out
to
Airbnb
so
I'm
not
going
to
move
something
here,
but
we
have
to
bake
into
this
you're.
Not
building
thousand
units
of
ten
thousand
thousand
of
them
are
out
being
used
for
Airbnb.
N
That
can't
happen
and
we
have
affordable
housing,
rental,
one-third,
very
deep,
going
down
to
forty
percent.
We
can
see
five
hundred
or
so
dollars
a
month,
that's
very
deep,
rent
geared
to
income.
So
that's
the
plan
as
I
understand
it
I'm
just
going
to
make
sure
I
understand
it
correctly
before
we
get
to
Council,
but
that's
the
big
picture
and
it's
very
exciting.
A
big
picture.
To
start
with.
Thank
you.
Alrighty.
B
T
B
B
T
I
was
saying
to
thank
the
staff,
especially
Sean
Garden,
but
there
been
many
people
involved
in
this
and
I
want
to
thank
deputy
mayor
and
a
vial.
Of
course
they
do
have
a
motion.
Yes,
so
I
have
a
motion
here.
It
really
just
asks
it
says
it
directs,
but
it
asks
the
city
manager
to
review
the
staffing
in
recommendation
16
just
to
see
if
there
are
any
people.
I
understand
what
the
city
manager
said
earlier
on
mr.
T
T
So
with
thanks
to
all
concerned,
including
deputy
mayor
by
a
couple
of
themes
that
are
come
up
today,
that
I
wanted
to
address
myself
to
one
is
people
saying
kind
of.
Is
that
all
there
is?
Is
this
it
and
they've
all
said,
as
we
all
agree,
I
think
there
wouldn't
be
a
person
around
this
table,
that's
elected
that
doesn't
agree.
This
is
a
huge
issue
with
many
different
aspects
to
it
and
I
will
just
say.
The
answer
to
the
question
is
that
all
there
is
is
absolutely
not.
T
There
was
one
deputy
and
I
think
it
was
the
gentleman
from
the
Federation
of
metro
tenants
who
said
that
he
hoped
this
would
be
an
annual
event
where
we
would
have
a
project
of
this
scale
and
magnitude.
Coming
to
this
council
on
this
executive
committee
every
year,
I
hope
he's
right,
I
agree
with
him.
We
need
to
do
that,
but
this
is
a
solid,
quick
start
on
affordable
housing.
It
is
a
solid,
quick
start
on
stimulating
purpose-built
rental,
which
I
think
is
regardless,
whether
it's
affordable
or
not.
We
need
to
focus
on
the
affordable.
T
We
need
the
rental
accommodations
as
well.
It
is
a
quick
start
on
the
utilization
of
city
land,
pursuant
to
our
desire
to
use
that
more
strategically
under
the
auspices
of
great
teal,
but
it
is
just
a
start
and
so
I
and
I
believe.
Not
only
is
it
desirable
for
us
to
make
this
an
annual
event
if
we're
going
to
achieve
the
target
that
I
believe
was
realistic
to
achieve
the
40,000
over
12
years
for
affordable.
T
We
have
to
be
doing
something
like
this
every
single
year
and
not
just
approve,
but
actually
getting
it
built
and
having
people
live
in
it
as
soon
as
possible
and
I
will
just
say
an
answer
to
some
of
the
other
things
that
have
been
said.
I
am,
as
the
person
chiefly
responsible
for
intergovernmental
affairs,
pursuing
both
other
governments
continuously
unaffordable
on
supportive
on
their
land-use,
because
they've
not
really
put
up.
T
In
fact
what
they've
given
they've
taken
away
in
one
case,
we
just
heard
mentioned
a
couple
of
moments
ago
and
I
will
say
that
we're
also
going
to
receive
a
report
on
levels
of
affordability
and
how
we
might
re-examine
that
that's
coming
forward,
I
think
in
a
month
or
so
and
I
will
just
say.
One
final
word,
which
is
if
the
responses
that
we
get
back
from
the
private
and
nonprofit
sector
here
proved
to
be
inadequate
in
terms
of
what
they're
willing
to
do
by
way
of
affordable
housing.
T
Then,
for
me,
this
thing
will
lose
my
support
in
its
present
phase
and
we
will
have
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
board,
because
the
whole
reason
for
doing
this
is
about
the
affordable
part.
Yes,
the
purpose-built
rental
is
important,
but
the
affordable
rental
is
key
and
so
for
those
who've
sort
of
said
well
what
if
it
ends
up
as
a
pale,
you
know
imitation
of
what's
talked
about
here.
Well
then,
for
me,
I
will
say:
well,
that's
good
reason
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
board,
so
I
just
hope.
T
K
Thank
you.
Mr.
chair
I
do
have
a
motion
and
that
I
spoke
to
most
of
you
about
every
time
we
have
a
big
housing
issue
that
comes
to
council
or
executive
I.
Have
the
voice
of
my
grandmother
in
Portuguese,
with
the
saying
I'm
gonna.
Try
to
translate
distance
sounds
as
good
as
English,
but
she
used
to
say
that
when
the
need
is
great,
everybody
argues
and
nobody's
quite
right
and
that's
how
I
feel
all
the
time,
because
the
need
is
so
great
in
housing
and
the
need
is
so
great
across
the
spectrum.
K
We're
all
arguing
that
each
little
bit
of
it
needs
more
and
more
and
more,
and
it's
never
enough
what
we're
giving,
because
that's
the
situation
that
we
have
and
everybody
and
every
thing
that
we
present
on
housing
says.
But
this
is
not
gonna
now
solve
the
housing
issue,
and
we
say
yes,
because
there's
not
one
project
and
one
solution
that
is
solve
housing
in
this
city.
Housing
is
a
spectrum.
There's
different
needs
and
there's
gonna
be
have
to
have
different
responses
on
this
issue.
But
this
is
something
that
it's
big.
It
is
quite
big.
K
We
have
talked
about
st.
Lawrence
as
the
pride
and
as
it
should
be,
but,
as
I
was
just
asking,
those
are
quite
different
times.
That
was
a
time
that
we
had
a
social
housing
program
that
the
city
invested
8
to
12
percent
in
that
project
that
it
had
rent
geared
to
income
provided
with
the
provided
supports
by
the
province
and
the
federal.
This
is
a
different
reality.
What
we
have
in
front
of
us
is
the
city
actually
stepping
up
and
saying:
yes,
they
stepped
away
from
housing,
and
we
are
here
on
our
own.
K
I
do
hope
that
we
have
a
non-profit
housing
that
can
can
can
come
to
the
table.
That's
why
we
put
money
in
this
so
that
can
come
to
the
table.
We
can
work
with
them
and
they
should
be
given
the
priority,
but
the
need
is
so
great
that
we
can
just
hope
that
they
can
do
it.
We
have
to
open
the
door
for
whoever
can
work
with
us
to
provide
the
affordable
housing.
K
The
other
thing
that
is
quite
different
in
here
is
that
we
used
to
have
an
agency
in
this
city
that
used
to
sell
land
to
bring
dividends
to
the
city.
These
11
sites
are
we
heard
from
staff?
It's
the
level
of
affordability.
It's
the
amount
of
affordability
and
all
the
money
leveraged
from
the
land
is
to
create
that
that
is
a
huge
difference
from
everything
that
we've
done
up
to
now
and
that's
why
we're
gonna
be
working
with
the
nonprofit's
to
create
this
affordable
housing?
Is
it
solve
all
the
issues?
K
Absolutely
not,
but
is
a
big
step
in
the
right
direction.
That
I
think
this
city
and
all
of
us
should
be
proud
of,
should
be
able
to
support
and
and
and
when
we
go
to
council
should
be
have
a
strong
vote
to
make
sure
that
we
create
the
affordable
housing.
There
is
so
much
lead
and
that
this
be
the
first
of
many
many
packages
that
comes
in
here
and
hopefully
that
we
have
the
province
and
the
feds
to
come
to
the
table
to
even
bring
deeper
affordability
to
all
these
units.
Thank.
E
You
very
much
mr.
chair,
I
have
two
motions
and
while
the
motions
are
being
put
up,
I'm
not
sure
which
ones
first
but
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
for
his
leadership
and
setting
the
direction
in
that
we
are
about
to
follow
on
I,
think
certainly
counsel
by
Lao,
as
well
for
her
leadership
on
this
file
in
the
city
manager
and
mr.
Gavin
and
all
the
staff,
and
so
when
I
asked
the
question
earlier,
did
we
understand
what
we're
doing
and
I
know?
The
answer
is
absolutely
yes.
E
This
particular
motion
here
really
speaks
to
the
issue
around
looking
at
incentives.
Responding
to
misses
mr.
Jack's
deputation
is
one
so
we're
just
simply
asking
for
staff
to
come
back
with
a
report.
Looking
at
the
feasibility
of
being
able
to
do
this,
there's
a
second
motion
as
well,
and
this
really
speaks
to
streamlining
the
staffing
process
as
part
of
the
10-year
plan.
E
That's
going
to
be
brought
back
in
the
fall,
I
guess
of
2019,
and
so
really
what
I
wanted
to
be
able
to
do
is
look
at
how
we
can
utilize
a
staffing
in
a
more
efficient
way
to
deliver
on.
Obviously,
this
very
complex
and
challenging
issue.
Clearly
the
mayor
has
been
very
focused
on
this
and
has
been
very
vocal
about
wanting
to
address
this
particular
issue,
as
well
as
focusing
on
the
other
levels
of
government
as
well
in
terms
of
their
participation.
E
Their
involvement
in
Swan
I
think
some
have
given
the
impression
that
nothing
is
being
done
that
couldn't
be
further
from
the
truth.
Quite
frankly,
there's
a
lot
of
work.
That's
being
done!
A
lot
of
discussion.
I
know
the
mayor
has
indicated
that
he'll
be
talking
further
on
this
issue
and
obviously,
as
part
of
his
plan
to
bring
40,000.
E
You
know
new
housing,
affordable
housing
to
the
forefront
over
the
12-year
period.
There's
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done.
A
lot
of
the
heavy
lifting
is
gonna
be
done
now.
Clearly,
we
have
a
problem
and
we
understand
that
we
want
to
get
people
through
the
shelter
system
into
affordable
living
and
to
be
assisted
where
that
that's
needed
and
so
on.
The
shelters
are
designed
for
a
short
term
they're
not
supposed
to
be
long-term
and
permanent.
We
hear
that
people
been
in
shelters
now,
five
six,
seven
eight
years
and
so
on.
E
That's
a
long
period
of
time,
and
so
on
and
I
know
that
our
weather
is
problematic
in
terms
of
it
challenges
us-
and
this
is
a
very
complex
issue,
so
we
have
on
the
table
now
something
that
I
think
that
it's
been
long
overdue,
that
it's
in
front
of
us
I
think
it's
something
that,
as
we've
heard
from
the
variety
of
deputies,
who've
come
forward
here
today.
I
think
a
large
number
of
people
are
saying:
don't
build
more
shelters,
build
more
permanent
housing
and
I.
E
Think
that's
what
we're
moving
towards
as
part
of
this
particular
plan
and
clearly
we
need
the
private
sector
to
work
with
us
as
well.
I
asked
the
question
earlier
about
you
know,
and
some
have
said
well
look
make
it
all
such
that
you
know
it's
it's
it's
simply
all
about
the
the
you
know,
one
group
socio-economic
group
living
in
a
particular
area
and
so
on.
I
think
that
that's
not
something
that
we
should
be
supporting.
What
we
should
be
supporting
is
a
integration
of
people
living
and
working
together
in
the
community
and
so
on.
E
R
So
that's
my
motion
and
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
and,
as
well
as
the
deputies
and
staff
for
the
report.
Special
thanks
does
Shaun,
because
Shaun
has
come
into
my
ward
a
number
of
times
and
to
speak
to
my
residents,
because
there
are
a
number
of
affordable
housing
applications
in
my
in
my
ward
that
are
being
proposed,
but
unfortunately,
the
process
takes
so
long
that
they're
not
being
built.
R
You
know,
options
for
homes,
have
supportive
housing
and
so
I'm
glad
that
we're
expediting
actually
the
the
process
and
these
applications,
and
hopefully
we
do
that
for
all-
and
you
know
I
think
we
also
have
to.
We
also
have
to
look
at
some
of
the
vacant
properties
that
we
have
in
the
city,
huge
properties
that
have
been
vacant
for
years,
that
are
privately
owned,
where
we
do
have
applicants
that
are
coming
forward
that
want
to
build
affordable
housing
and
they're
told
that
they
can't
because
of
their
zoning.
R
So
you
know
we
have
to
look
at
the
big
picture
as
well,
and
so
you
know
I
think
there
could
be
thousands
more
affordable
housing
units
that
could
be
built
if
we,
if
we
look
at
these
all
these
applications,
they're
coming
in
and
in
expediting
the
process,
because
we
have
to
look
at
some
of
the
zoning
and
some
of
these
vacant
lands
that
have
been
vacant
for
years,
which
are
never
going
to
be
occupied,
and
if
there
is
an
interest
to
build,
affordable,
housing
and
I
think
we
should
be
looking
at
that.
Thank
you.
P
Yes,
thank
you.
Mr.
chair
I
have
a
motion
and
I'm
moving
this
on
behalf
of
a
few
executive
committee,
members
and
councillors
who,
whose
sites
have
commuter
parking
usages
currently
and
we're
asking
staff
to
when
they
go
out
to
tender,
to
have
and
examine
proposals
that
accommodate
this
local
need.
Commuter
parking
is
currently
at
Yorkdale,
so
it
proves
that
retail
and
commuter
parking
can
work
day
time
for
for
the
commuters,
nighttime
is
for
the
shoppers
we've
seen
it
go
into
st.
Lawrence,
Market
and
other
places
across
the
city.
P
So
this
is
just
to
make
sure
that
interested
parties
coming
forward
know
that
they
have
to
accommodate
the
existing
commuter
parking
issues.
Two
of
these
sites
are
in
the
new
Ward
six
and
I'm,
proud
to
say
that
Ward
six
has
had
a
York
Center
has
had
a
rich
history
of
affordable
and
social
housing.
Currently
we
have
1500
units
and
TCH
buildings
across
the
ward
and
recently
in
new
developments
coming
forward.
We
have
another
250,
affordable
ownership
and
affordable
rental.
P
At
the
same
time,
in
the
coming
years,
we'll
see
over
300
units
developed
in
the
åland
district
plans
and
of
course,
we
have
transitional
housing
coming
forward
at
the
North
York
women's
shelter,
I
think
when
we
mentor
the
conversation
from
deputed
today
and
and
I.
Thank
them
very
much
for
coming
in
was
about
shelters
and,
if
you're
really
going
to
address
the
shelter
capacity
issue,
you
have
to
address
key
areas
such
as
mental
well-being,
substance
abuse,
massive
resources
into
those
areas,
as
well
as
looking
at
family
breakup.
P
Bankruptcies,
fail
your
business,
these
kinds
of
issues
that
that
caused
much
of
our
shelters
to
be
at
capacity
or
over
capacity,
and
the
other
part
is
a
failed
immigration
intake
system
where
there's
no
financial
supports
for
those
waiting
for
clarification
of
their
status.
I
didn't
realize
by
just
seen
that
we
bring
the
federal
government
to
the
table
on
asylum
seekers
funding
and
supporting
asylum
seekers
and
refugees,
claimants
that
it
would
create
such
an
uproar.
P
We
cannot
historically
do
affordable
housing
in
the
city
without
the
other
two
levels
of
government
coming
forward
when
it
comes
to
affordable
housing,
it's
more
than
just
the
marginalized.
It
is
keeping
a
whole
generation
of
young
people
in
the
city
and
if
you
look
at
various
industries
that
rely
on
frontline
staff
in
our
hospitals,
our
food
and
beverage
industries
or
hospitality
industries,
students,
artists,
they
rely
on
young
people
who
will
stay
in
the
city
and
who
will
be
looking
for
affordable
housing.
This
whole
generation
will
leave.
P
P
P
B
I
meant
that
in
recommendation
16
for
the
housing
secretary
to
determine,
if
possible,
if
positions
can
be
filled
using
existing
staff
resources
from
the
affordable
housing
office,
great
tío,
City,
Planning
and
report
the
results
of
this
review
to
the
budget
committee
as
part
of
the
2019
budget
process
that
was
moved
by
the
mayor.
All
those
in
favor
opposed.
That's
carry.
B
B
B
Councillor
Annunziata
is
motion.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
that's
carried
item
as
amended.
Well,
a
recorded
vote
is
been
asked
councillor,
Thompson
and
firm
in
the
affirmative,
councillor
Pasternak
Johnson
and
zyada
deputy
mayor
Brennan,
long
maher
tori,
councillor
Crawford
councillor
by
Lao
councillor
Ainsley
a
unanimous
vote.
Thank
you
very
much.
We
are
gonna
go
to
our
second
and
final
item
right,
which
is
on
the
I,
see
I
believe
if
one
deputy.
B
Q
I
just
want
to
say
by
me
speaking
at
this
meeting
that
shall
not
be
deemed
to
be
in
any
way
my
consent
express
or
implied
in
doing
so
is
fraud.
God
bless
her
Majesty.
The
Queen
and
long
live
her
majesty
of
the
Queen
and
let
the
record
show
I
do
not
consent
to
the
unconstitutional
searches
that
violate
section
8
of
the
Constitution
Act
1982
that
are
currently
taking
place
here
at
Toronto.
City
Hall,
as
the
province
has
never
given
the
City
of
Toronto
expressed
statutory
authority
to
do
this.
Q
So
in
this
report
it
says
City
Council,
amend,
chapter
3,
accountability,
officers,
Toronto
Municipal
Code
as
follows:
d
to
reflect
new
authority
of
the
integrity
Commissioner
to
conduct
enquiries
on
whether
a
member
of
Council
or
local
board,
restricted
definition
is
contravening
the
municipal
conflict
of
interest
acts
so
just
to
refresh
the
integrity
Commissioner's
memory,
there
was
an
investigation.
She
did
last
year
report
regarding
the
conduct
of
counselor
John
Fillion.
Now.
Q
What
she
may
not
know
is
something
that
resulted
out
of
that
investigation
on
June
28th
2018,
that's
Toronto,
City,
Council
meeting,
something
that
then
councillor,
Maria,
Audie
Murphy
says
which
is
and
as
I
walked
in
this
was
the
discussion
that
was
happening.
There
were
a
group
of
developers
and
business
men
and
what
they
were
saying
was
Oh
with
that
filling
in
that
John
Fillion.
Q
All
we
get
is
you
have
to
follow
the
rules,
and
you
have
to
do
this
and
you
have
to
do
that
and
you
have
to
think
about
the
Edith
built
community
center
and
section
37,
and
this
I
can't
we
can't
take
it
anymore,
but
these
other
guys.
You
know
these
other
guys.
What
they
want
is
a
trip
to
Florida
and
so
on
and
so
on
and
their
bank
accounts,
and
you
can
imagine
you
can
fill
in
the
rest,
but
but
what
I
learned
was
that
for
the
developers
it
didn't
matter
to
them.
Q
If
they
gave
money
to
your
private
bank
account
or
to
the
Edith
Ville
Community
Center,
it
was
the
cost
of
doing
business
and
I.
Don't
know-
maybe
it's
just
me,
but
when
I
read
that
she
basically
implied
that
there
are
Toronto
City
Council
members
who
are
on
the
take
from
land
developers,
so
this
point
I
wish
to
make
a
deputation
and
appoint
the
integrity.
Q
Commissioner
Valerie
Jefferson
over
there
to
act
as
the
trustee
for
me
in
this
matter,
and
if
that
is
the
case
with
instructions
respectfully,
if
that
is
going
on
here,
she
is
to
find
out
if
it's
still
going
on
here,
which
City
Council
members
here
at
the
City
of
Toronto
may
be
on
the
take
from
land
developers
by
the
way
I
get
five
minutes
right.
This
is
a
different
item.
Q
Okay,
so
I
got
to
take
you
to
task
councillor
men
and
long
for
something
that
you
said
at
the
beginning
of
this
meeting.
You
mentioned
that
people
who
come
to
speak
here
can't
ask
questions.
Kessler
men
and
Wong
I
just
want
to
make
sure
you
didn't
lie
about
that.
Where
does
it
say
exactly
that?
We
can't
ask
questions
at
these
meetings.
Your.
B
Q
B
B
E
Thompson,
would
you
like
thank
you
very
much?
Yes,
mr.
deputy
mayor
and
chair
I
just
wanted
to
ask
the
integrity
Commissioner
for
her
comments
on
this.
Is
this?
Do
you
have
suitable
legislative
tools
to
allow
you
to
effectively
do
your
job
as
part
of
this
particular
report?
Does
it
go
far
enough
for
you
I.
L
Threw
chair,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Yes,
I've
been
consulted
on
this
report
throughout
and
I.
If
I
got
the
opportunity
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
the
staff
in
the
city,
manager's
office
and
the
city
solicitor's
office
for
working
with
me
over
the
past
several
months,
almost
years
now
because
of
when
the
bill
came
in
when
it
was
passed
and
and
I
am
satisfied
with
with
these
changes
that
will
enable
me
to
carry
out
the
statutory
authorities
and
jurisdiction
that
I
have
under
the
new
law
right.
E
And
just
again
through
you
to
mr.
gerrae
to
the
integrity,
commissioner,
the
process
that
exists
now
allows
anyone
who
has
a
complaint
or
concern
about
any
member
of
Council
or
council
as
the
body
to
come
to
you
with
a
valid
complaint
and
a
report.
So
if
someone,
for
example,
make
certain
statements
or
have
evidence
or
what-have-you,
they
can
come
to
you
and
that's
open
to
the
public.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,.
E
And
so
as
of
today,
there
were
some
comments
roosters
made
here
a
moment
ago.
Has
anyone
from
the
public
come
to
you
with
respect
to
apparently
councillors
taking
trips
to
wherever
what
was
stated
and
some
of
the
comments
that
were
made
to
you
just
a
moment
ago?
Well,
that
was
just
made
in
general
is
Eric.
Is
there?
L
Through
your
chair,
so
I
with
respect,
I
cannot
speak
about
any
cases
that
may
be
before
me
and
well.
I
appreciate
why
the
questions
being
asked
and
I
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
address
I
think
because
of
the
secrecy
obligation.
I
have
I
can't
comment
on
the
cases,
but
certainly
anyone
who
does
have
a
concern
can
comment.
