All
right,
the
Toronto
Employment
Survey,
as
many
of
you
probably
know,
presents
an
annual
picture
of
change
in
Toronto's
economy.
We
collect
current,
accurate
and
comprehensive
data
on
employment
across
the
city,
including
visiting
75
over
75,000
businesses
to
collect
employment
data,
including
business
employment,
counts,
employment,
related
land
use
information
and
to
classify
employment
by
economic
sector
in
2018.
The
survey
reached
86
percent
of
all
businesses
across
addressable
businesses
across
the
city,
and
we
estimate
we
visit
approximately
99%
of
all
addressable
businesses.
A
A
Just
looking
a
little
bit
more
at
the
five-year
trend
tends
to
give
us
a
bit
more
information
about
employment
in
the
city,
so
the
survey
has
recorded
employment
growth
in
all
six
categories
over
the
last
five
years,
with
notable
return
to
growth
stories
for
both
manufacturing
and
retail
office.
Employment
has
increased
the
most
over
the
last
five
years,
followed
by
institutional
and
service,
which
have
all
added
five
figure:
job
numbers,
both
institutional
and
service
employment.
Growth
began
to
slow
a
bit
in
2018,
but
that
doesn't
take
anything
away
from
their
last
five-year
trend.
A
A
So
we
also
look
at
employment
by
economic
activity
to
better
compare
to
other
jurisdictions
and
also
to
measure
different
flows
in
trade.
We
do
this
by
classifying
employment
according
to
the
North
American
industry
classification
system
and
in
Toronto.
While
we
have
a
very
broad
and
diverse
economy,
are
the
top
five
sectors
make
up
over
half
of
the
city's
employment?
A
This
is
just
a
quick
chart
to
show
the
sort
of
magnitude
of
growth
in
some
of
the
top
sectors
led
by
finance
and
insurance,
which
added
12,000
430
jobs
in
2018.
Quite
a
significant
amount
of
employment
and
we've
seen
some
significant
growth
in
other
categories.
But
this
really
stands
out
in
the
survey.
We
also
look
at
part-time
and
full-time
employment
trends
and
2018
employment,
added
1.4,
full-time
jobs
for
every
part-time
job
and
overall,
the
part-time
employment
share
in
the
city
increased
very
slightly
to
twenty
four
point:
six
percent
up
a
bit
from
last
year.
A
We
also
track
the
occurrence
of
new
establishments
in
the
city.
This
is
the
opening
of
new
establishment
locations
and
Toronto
generated
three
thousand
four
hundred
and
seventy
new
establishments
in
2018,
adding
to
all
categories
in
Toronto,
continues
to
add
manufacturing
establishments,
including
one
hundred
and
seventy
six
new
establishments
in
2018.
A
A
We
also
look
at
the
where
the
establishments
are
locating,
as
I
said,
with
the
center's,
showing
the
largest
increase
in
share
of
new
establishments
in
the
city
over
the
last
five
years,
drilling
a
bit
more
into
this
trend.
A
key
reason
for
monitoring
employment
geography
is
to
evaluate
the
success
of
our
official
plan
policies.
A
It's
perfectly
respectable
I'm,
just
looking
briefly
at
some
of
these
other
the
downtown
in
the
center
of
downtown
added
twenty
one
thousand
eight
hundred
jobs
led
by
office,
adding
18,000,
odd
jobs
and
18
thousand
eight
hundred
jobs
and
retail
lost
a
few
jobs,
mostly
in
food-related
retail
and
there's
turning
to
the
center's
employment.
I
won't
go
into
too
much
specifics
too
many
specifics
about
the
trends
here
year
over
year,
but
overall,
the
center's
employment
held
steady,
showing
some
varying
net
changes
by
category
of
employment
in
2018.
Nothing
significant
in
terms
of
increases
or
decreases.
A
Finally,
employment
areas
home
to
four
hundred
seventeen
thousand
jobs
in
the
city,
they're
significant,
contain
a
significant
amount
of
our
employment,
almost
twenty-eight
percent
of
all
jobs
and
twenty
nine
percent
of
all
establishments
and
they're,
also
home
to
ninety
two
percent
of
our
manufacturing
jobs
and
I'm.
Just
gonna
move
back
one
slide.
Sorry,
we
also
we've
divided
the
city
up
into
five
employment
monitoring
areas
to
help
us
better
understand
and
portray
the
diverse
employment
characteristics
of
the
various
areas.
A
So,
looking
at
these
employment
monitoring
areas,
most
of
Toronto's
employment
is
in
the
west.
Northwest
and
East
employment
monitoring
areas
and
most
jobs
in
these
areas
are
core
employment,
which
include
manufacturing,
transportation
and
warehousing
and
construction
within
these
employment
areas
and
in
Toronto
in
2018,
four
out
of
five
of
her
employment
monitoring
areas,
group
with
a
slight
pullback
in
the
North
East,
and
we
added
almost
5,500
jobs.
A
Finally,
I'll
just
wrap
up
by
saying
that
the
provincial
growth
plan
includes
employment
forecasts
for
the
City
of
Toronto,
we're
targeting
one
point:
seven:
two
million
jobs
by
2040,
one
in
the
city
and
based
on
our
annual
reporting,
we're
able
to
track
some
of
the
employment
trends
and
good
detail
and
if
even
in
the
most
conservative
projection.
If
we
look
at
our
tenure
trend
growing
at
1.5
percent,
we're
gonna
reach
that
forecast
ten
years
early
in
2031
and
more
likely
before
that
and
the
places
to
grow
act
does
require
the
province
to
review
this.
A
C
You
very
much
I,
don't
have
a
page
number,
but
under
this
particular
it
says
employments
centres
of
employment.
Can
you
just
explain
the
the
net
loss
of
jobs
at
Yonge
and
Eglinton,
because
that
areas
under
tremendous
growth
has,
though,
has
those
lands
been
converted
to
other
uses?
Is
that
what
we're
seeing
there?
It's.
C
A
D
The
chair,
III,
could
I
possibly
add
to
that
you've
seen
we
see
a
lot
of
development
activity
in
Yonge
and
Eglinton,
so
we're
going
to
see
cycles
where
we
see
sites
that
were
for
office
coming
forward
for
residential
and
they'll
also
be
coming
forward
for
employment,
but
when
they
go
through
the
cycle
of
being
torn
down,
we
see
that
temporary
loss
of
positions
in
that
area.
Okay,.
C
Thank
you
very
much.
That's
extremely
helpful.
I
think
there
was
one
first
story:
just
they're,
not
numbers
I,
won't
I
won't
try
to
rifle
through
it,
but
there
was
one
particular
note
that
I
that
sort
of
jumped
out
at
me-
and
that
was
regarding
retail.
So
as
as
much
of
the
economy
I
mean
especially
retail
based
economy
that
that
moves
over
to
the
web-based
presence
and
online
shopping
everywhere,
downtown
I
go
I,
see,
lobbies
filled
with
boxes
and
parcels
all
coming
from
Amazon
or
where
have
you
so
people
noted
are
no
longer
shopping.
C
A
You
through
the
chair,
we
did
notice
some
food-related
retail
being
the
leading
sharp
like
shoppers,
Jordan,
Loblaws,
etc.
Those
types
of
businesses
and
metro
showing
some
larger,
not
larger,
but
sort
of
relatively
more
significant
declines
in
downtown,
particularly
and
it's
hard
to
track.
Why?
But
I
we
do.
We
have
also
seen
some
additions
at
different
locations
for
some
of
these,
so
we
might
be
some
more
populated,
related
employment
shifts
and
consolidations.
A
E
The
chair
I
would
add
that
there's
been
an
evolution
in
retail
over
the
past
thirty
years,
which
is
showing
up
more
significantly
in
terms
of
the
changing
retail
formats
towards
medium
box
stores,
resulting
in
a
substitution
of
bigger
locations
with
fewer
staff.
More
automation,
that's
caused,
while
total
retail
activity
has
increased.
Retail
with
employment
has
flatlined
and.
C
And
so,
with
respect
to
those
who
are
generally
employed
in
retail
oftentimes,
they
are
younger
people,
sometimes
they're
part-time
hours.
I
know
that
there
is
now
a
trend
to
hire
those
who
have
who
are
a
little
bit
older,
I've,
seen
baristas,
who
are
near
20
20
nests
anymore.
So
is
there
concern
that
that
type
of
entry
position
entry-level
jobs
that
at
some
point
in
time
we're
going
to
lose
that
that
that
employment
space
for
the
population
that
steps
into
employment,
that
workforce
for
the
first
time
and
now
in?
Are
we
prepared
for
that.
A
C
Would
you
be
able
to
track
that
the
next
time
around
cuz
you're
heading
it
back
out
to
collect
this
information
again,
it'd
be
really
helpful
to
know
who's
got
access
to
jobs
that
are
well-paying
who's
who's
employed
for
curiously,
is
that
possible?
This
is
we
design
all
sorts
of
programs
at
the
city
to
try
to
meet
policy
objectives,
so
it'd
be
very
helpful
to
know
who's
getting
the
benefits
through.
F
The
chair,
I,
don't
think
it's
something
that
we
capture
through
this
survey
I
think
working
with
SS
HMA,
for
example,
working
on
workforce
strategy
at
the
city.
It's
something
that
we
would
feed
into
with
this
information
and
other
datasets
from
other
sources
to
develop
policy
approaches
that
speak
to
some
of
those.
Thank
you
just.
C
F
C
G
D
G
G
D
D
And
so
I
can't
speak
to
why
I
think
I
would
say
one
of
the
things
that
the
city
has
done
over
the
last
number
of
years
has
provided
and
demonstrated
its
protection
of
employment
lands
and
when
I'm
speaking
to
employers,
they
have
spoken
to
the
fact
that
they
have
confidence
in
locating
within
those
areas
based
on
the
city's
practices
and
policies.
I.
F
Just
supplement
that
the
gray
collar
kind
of
not
blue,
not
white,
collar
gray
collar
the
the
changing
nature
of
work
that
you
you
have
an
office
building
and
it
could
be
and
and
the
activity
could
be
manufacturing,
they
could
be
tech,
jobs
that
could
be
film
production.
There
could
be
any
number
of
types
of
jobs
and
I
think
we're
doing
some
further
work
this
year
on
understanding
from
a
more
descriptive
perspective,
exactly
what
is
going
on
in
some
of
these
sectors.
F
G
But
maybe
I
can
just
go:
we've
got
page
no
pages.
No
page
numbers
can
I
just
ask
that
we
get
page
numbers,
it's
so
hard
when
we
can't
do
that.
It's
the
one
that
has
the
boxes
that
rest
of
the
city,
downtown
employment
and
then
centers,
so
the
downtown
any
idea
how
I'm
just
looking
at
relative
sizes,
the
downtown
has
the
biggest
box.
E
G
So
that's!
Actually
what
I'd
like
to
see
is
here's
what
we're
calling
downtown
here's,
the
geographic
area,
here's
the
number
of
jobs,
so
it's
a
heavy
lifter
for
jobs,
right,
correct,
yeah,
big,
big
big,
and
then
we
have
employment
areas.
There's
only
16
and
I
think
it's
16
percent
of
all
land
form
I,
think
that
was
a
some
where
I
saw
that
earlier
and
it's
providing
a
lot
of
jobs.
20
percent
through.
F
G
F
H
B
I
I
I
I
Okay,
so
let's
get
back
in
here
just
a
little
bit
about
the
housing
now
tio
project
we've
been
basically
going
through
open
data
using
Toronto
Council's
piece,
we've
been
going
through
TTC
Toronto
parking
authority
and
cross
town
Eglinton
we've
been
literally
just
opening
up
the
ability
of
looking
at
the
open
data
that
we
have
on
the
city.
The
mayor
has
put
forth
a
want
for
more
housing
and
we
truly
believe
that
more
housing
is
necessary,
especially
affordable
housing.
I
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
all
the
open
data
that
we
could
possibly
put
forth
to
showcase
for
Torontonians
was
put
into
this
project.
Since
we've
launched
a
site,
we've
had
almost
7,000
visits
and
it's
growing
every
day,
which
is
fantastic.
So
how
can
we
help
to
improve
stakeholder
outreach
in
the
City
of
Toronto
to
us?
We
need
to
stand
stamp
out.
Nimbyism
land-use
institutions
amplify
the
voice
of
unrepresented
groups
of
community
and
residents
who,
in
turn,
diminish
the
supply
of
housing
in
places
that
need
it.
We
were
looking
for
voices.
I
The
voices
that
are
in
Toronto
right
now
are
not
necessarily
from
this
city.
People
are
coming
from
all
over
the
world
and
we
we
want
to
make
sure
that
their
voices
are
being
amplified
home.
Ownership
also
is
changing
from
people
owning
their
houses
to
renters
we're
following
alongside
how
Montreal
is
right
now,
where
we
have
more
renters
than
than
home
owners
when
we
get
into
participants
for
land
use
meetings,
they're
looking
a
lot
like
this,
and
we
want
a
better
mix
of
who
is
speaking
to
land
use
in
our
city
staff.
I
I
That
needs
to
be
kind
of
the
crux
of
what
you're
doing
with
your
housing
now
consultation,
so
just
quickly
in
closing
we'd
love
for
you
to
focus
on
future
residents
of
the
city
focus
on
young
people,
immigrants,
low-income
new
Toronto,
nians
renters,
especially
we're
hoping
that
we
can
reduce
the
influence
of
current
homeowners
as
much
as
they
have
been
a
historical
bedrock
of
the
city.
We
know
that
the
city
is
transforming
and
changing.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
renters
and
others
have
a
piece
to
that
puzzle.
I
We're
also
looking
to
hoping
that
you'll
increase
funding
for
social
media
that
you'll
be
pushing
forth
on
opening
it
up
to
as
many
people
as
possible
having
even
live
streams
of
the
meetings
so
that
more
people
can
participate
and
then
all
honestly,
when
you're
in
doubt
just
do
more,
the
the
the
city
needs
to
have
a
better
voice
and
we're
hoping
that
we
can
help.
In
that
regard.
G
I
C
D
C
I
I
had
brought
up
live
streaming.
These
events
and
I
think
even
Paula
Fletcher
can
attest
to
this
that,
where
we,
we
had
a
pretty
low
turnout
for
a
lot
of
the
first
few
meetings
for
East
Harbor
and
we
were,
we
were
trying
to
get
more
more
of
the
constituents
energized
in
wanting
to
visit
or
come
to
these
meetings
and
live
streaming.
Them
really
did
kind
of
open
that
up
to
almost
out
a
moment
of
ok,
this
isn't
such
a
bad
thing.
I
It's
not
boring
it's
something
that
may
be
of
interest
to
me
and
that
has
kind
of
pushed
forth
for
at
least
in
in
my
region
of
the
city,
where
we
have
streaming
going
on
that
many
more
people
are
really
getting
involved.
I'm
sure
that
we
could
lean
on
on
the
city
to
to
provide
translations
as
such
I've
seen
at
least
sign
language
at
many
of
the
meetings
that
I've
gone
to
and
I'm
sure
that
we
can
expand
on
that
and
for
sure
would
be
a
positive
piece
and.
C
F
Very
much
for
the
deputation,
so
just
quick
question
I
understand
that
their
staff
want
to
support
community
organizations
that
are
doing
work
in
this
space
through
the
consultation
process.
You've
identified
Lyme
live-streaming
translations.
Are
there
any
other
sort
of
supports
that
you
think
really.
I
The
city
has
already
done
a
really
good
job
in
in
certain
sections,
and
and
that's
why
I
had
brought
up
the
waste
EO
piece.
The
city
is
already
doing
a
lot
of
good
things,
but
it
needs
to
be
across
the
board.
I,
don't
think
you
can
just
cherry-pick.
You
know,
projects
that
that
that
need
funding.
This
has
to
go
across
the
board.
This
is
a
very.
This
is
a
massive
piece
of
the
city
puzzle
and
I.
Don't
think
we
should
be
shortchanging.
This
specific
project
at
all
I
said.
F
I
It's
across
the
board
and
I
mean,
like
I,
said:
the
majority
is
coming
from
from
this
building
per
se,
but
across
the
board
we
are,
we
are
seeing
people
jumping
on
board
and
taking
a
look
at
what
it
is
that
we're
presenting
we've
tried
to
we've
tried
to
make
it
as
simple
as
possible.
It's
it's
a
google
map
and
we've
we've
basically
just
mapped
out
the
11
sites
at
the
mayor.
You
know
brought
forth
almost.
What
do
we
like
four
months
five
months
ago
and
we've
plotted
them
out?
I
J
So
at
the
February
meeting
of
this
committee
staff
was
asked
to
bring
us
the
consultation
plan
and
we
have
the
essentially
two-page
document
now
in
front
of
us,
but
what
I
can't
find
I
can't
find
a
number
of
things.
So
what
questions
are
you
going
to
be
asking
the
member
of
the
public
during
your
consultation.
K
J
The
external
Advisory
Committee
now
the
City
of
Toronto,
has
a
number
of
ways
that
we
bring
in
external
advisory
committees
if
they're
providing
advice
to
counsel
or
councillors,
there's
actually
a
report
tomorrow,
executive
listing
the
one
two
three
four:
well
there
there
are
a
number
of
them.
This
isn't
one
of
those
is
it
it's
not.
On
the
executive
committee
recommended
City
Council
advisory
bodies
through.
K
K
K
J
Sure
the
report
makes
mention
of
a
kit
that
counselors
will
be
given
for
the
consultations.
Does
that
or
the
do-it-yourself
workshop
materials?
Maybe
those
are
two
for
two
different
things:
does
that
include
things
like
models
that
other
municipalities
in
Canada
or
Europe,
or
the
United
States,
are
using
to
deliver
affordable
housing
as
sort
of
talking
points?
Does
it
include
tools
we
currently
use
like?
What's
in
that
kit,
so.
K
That
kid
is
being
prepared
as
well,
and
the
rollout
of
this
will
be
taking
place
over
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
and
it
will
include
models
of
where
things
are
being
in
town.
Another
jurisdictions,
including
the
drill
down
in
June
that
will
be
the
forum,
will
also
have
a
review
of
other
jurisdictions
and
what
they're
doing
that
will
work
and
be
helpful
to
Toronto.
Okay,.
J
K
J
I
understand
that
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out
so
here
we
are
it's
the
third
week
of
March
or
something
like
that
and
by
June.
You
intend
to
have
results
to
this
forum,
so
results
of
what
like,
if
we
don't
like
I,
would
I
imagine
and
I'm
sorry
I'm
belaboring
this,
but
I
imagined
I
would
come
here
today.

C
Thank
you
and
Sean
I
do
appreciate
the
fact
that
this
is
not
the
only
thing
on
your
desk.
I
was
hoping
that
we
were
going
to
see
a
more
detailed
outline
at
the
consultation
plan,
perhaps
with
the
actual
plan.
But
here
you
in
the
report,
you
referenced
the
fact
that
you'll
be
releasing
that
plan
sometime
in
March,
so
perhaps
you
can
give
us
a
sense
of.
When
is
that
plan
going
to
be
release
formally?
You
must
know
that
by
now,
because
we
are
we're
21
days
in
21
March,
we.
C
K
C
And
I
appreciate
that
I
wasn't
gonna
I
was
heading
into
it.
Let
me
just
outcome.
You
know
what
I'll
ask
this
question
since
you've
just
raised
it:
how?
How
do
we
justify
splitting
off
a
process
that
community
organizations
and
ethno-cultural
groups
groups
that
don't
speak
English
as
their
predominant
first
language?
How
do
we
justify
that
they
have
to
go
off
and
do
their
own
consultation
and
feedback
into
a
major
and
into
a
main
process,
as
opposed
to
us
meeting
as
the
corporation,
the
City
trial
meeting
people
where
they
are.
K
Okay,
counselor
I
think.
Actually
we
both
processes.
What
we
wanted
to
do
was
have
the
opportunity
where
organizations
didn't
feel
comfortable,
working
with
city
staff
directly
or,
for
instance,
victims
of
violence,
where
they
could
essentially
work
within
their
own
communities
and
not
I
have
to
essentially
do
it
within
a
city
define
process.
So
it
wasn't
that
we
were
suggesting
that
that
was
the
only
process
available
to
them,
but
it
was
an
additional
process
that
allowed
existing
organizations
that
might
have
process
is
already
underway
and
with
vulnerable
communities.
C
You
think
there
is
some
benefit
in
actually
learning
how
to
do
consultation
with
communities
that
perhaps
may
be
more
vulnerable
and
the
National
Housing
Strategy.
There's
specific
equity
groups
that
they
that
the
strategy
targets-
one
is
indigenous
one-
is
women
fleeing
violence.
One
is
veterans,
one
is
LGBTQ
to
ask
when
it
makes
sense
for
us
to
work
with
those
community
organizations
and
those
stakeholder
groups,
so
that
we
can
actually
make
sure
that
that
that
the
process
has
enough
for
integrity
in
it.
C
That
that
we're
able
to
ask
the
questions
directly
to
those
communities
and
to
make
sure
that
they
feel
like
they're
being
fed
into
a
bigger
program,
as
opposed
to
asking
organizations
to
apply
for
a
grant
design
their
own
consultation
process
and
then
feed
that
information
back
into
the
the
main
model
and
then
trying
to
make
sense
of
what
the
outcome
should
be.
The.
K
Counselor
would,
through
the
chair,
we
use
the
similar
process
when
we
designed
the
program
for
the
first
ten
year
plan.
It
was
extremely
successful
and
well-received
and
it
wasn't
seen
as
an
imposition
on
those
organizations.
It
was
actually
something
they
asked
us
to
do
and
if
reference
particularly
to
sistering
I'll
call
a
conversation
in
2007
and
they
said,
give
us
some
resources
to
empower
us
so
that
we
can
go
back
out
and
we
can
then
come
back
and
tell
you
what's
going
on,
and
so
this
isn't
something
that
staff
have
dreamed
up.
K
This
is
actually
something
that
was
a
resource
that
the
community
asked
us
to
give
them
in
addition
to
what
we
doing
with
them.
In
any
event,
and
if
you
look
at
the
Advisory
Committee,
you
also
see
representation
from
the
indigenous
community,
the
black
community
and
other
communities,
so
that
we're
going
to
be
ensuring,
as
a
part
of
the
consultation
process,
that
these
communities
are
fully
engaged
as
much
as
we
can
I.
C
Appreciate
that
and
that's
very
good
information
for
me
to
have
as
a
background
it
just
the
the
approach
feels
rather
paternalistic
the
way
I
the
way
I'm
reading
it
perhaps
I'm
wrong.
So
thank
you
for
for
sharing
that
information
in
among
your
list
of
advisor
there's,
no
one
from
the
LGBT
there's,
no
one
that
specializes
in
LGBT
style,
housing
or
advocates
for
LGBT
housing.
I,
don't
see
anybody
that
specifically
is
a
specialist
in
gender-based
violence
and
that
form
of
housing.
C
So
I
appreciate
there
may
be
individuals
who,
with
skin
color
from
particular
groups,
and
they
may
have
sexual
orientation
from
particular
groups.
But
there
is
a
specific
body
of
knowledge
that
I
think
it's
that
I
think
it's
very
important
that
their
housing
providers,
or
perhaps
those
who
advocate
for
housing
not
for
settlement
services
and
not
you
know,
and
not,
for
job
training,
but
specifically
around
housing
provision
and
supports
for
different
populations.
That
I
believe.
Probably
we
would
benefit
if
they
were
on
those
on
that
Advisory,
Committee
and.
E
C
K
The
chair
we're
more
than
happy
to
have
a
look
at
the
list
and
if
there
are
additions,
the
committee
members
want
to
include,
or
have
us
consider
more
than
happy,
there
is
no
limit
set
on
the
size
of
the
Advisory
Committee
and
again.
We
believe
that
we're
designing
with
rural
consulting
who
was
the
firm
that
was
hired
to
assist
us
in
this
process,
a
very
inclusive
process
and
one
that,
quite
the
contrary
from
being
paternalistic,
would
be
one
that
would
be
comprehensive
and
welcoming
to
everybody.
Thank.
C
B
Thank
you
any
other
questions.
I
just
don't
want
to
follow
up
and
clarify
a
question
that
comes
along
Tim
mentioned,
because
I
was
under
the
impression
that
there
was
also
going
to
be
specific
stakeholder
consultations.
So
not
only
are
we
working
with
some
of
the
organizations
but,
for
example,
with
the
indigenous
community
and
LGBTQ
communities,
other
there's
specific
stakeholders
round
tables
that
are
that
staff
is
going
to
lead
and
help
and
and
and
consult
with.
Is
that
correct?
That's.
C
You
very
much
I
must
admit
I'm
a
little
bit
disappointed
in
the
report.
What
I
was
hoping
to
receive
by
way
of
my
motion
from
the
previous
meeting
was
to
have
the
the
Giraffe
consultation
plan
before
us.
So
therefore,
we
can
take
a
deeper
dive
at
this
stage
and
perhaps
hear
from
the
king
that
we're
hoping
to
engage
with
just
early
thoughts
of
what,
whether
or
not
we're
on
the
right
track
and
whether
or
not
the
process
that
we
will
hopefully
have
designed
is
going
to
be
as
inclusive
and
as
broad
reaching
as
possible.
C
But
now
it
seems
to
me
that
there
were
a
consultation
plan
is
can
be
launched
on
March
29th
I
appreciate
that
staff
have
we've
been
working
really
hard
on
it.
I
don't
want
to
take
anything
away
from
from
from
from
those
efforts,
but
unfortunately
we
won't
have
a
chance
to
see
it
and
there
the
public
won't
have
a
chance
to
comment
on
it
before
we.
C
We
kick
this
off,
which
will
then
lead
us
through
a
ten
year,
the
building
of
a
ten
year
strategy
where
we
know
our
last
10
year
strategy
didn't
get
us
the
outcomes
that
we
were
hoping
for,
and
there's
probably
some
reasons
why?
But
that's
why
I
had
moved
that
particular
motion,
hoping
we
can
just
take
another
look,
pull
out
one
particular
piece
knowing
how
important
this
next
body
of
policy
work
is
for
the
city,
so
I'm
going
to
just
say.
Thank
you
to
staff
for
for
doing
all
this
work
be
in
the
building.
C
It
would
be
really
helpful
if,
if,
if
the
staff
had
brought
back
a
report
that
we
could
actually
provide
some
helpful
comments
to
and
I
don't
mean
to,
I,
don't
want
to
take
anything
away
from
your
good
work,
but
it
is
very
frustrating
to
do
not
be
able
to
go
home
and
on
a
consultation
plan.
When,
specifically,
we
asked
to
see
the
consultation
plan.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
I
just
I
I
do
want
to
thank
staff.
They
have
an
incredible
amount
of
work
ahead
of
them.
I
think
that
there's
a
website
from
what
I
understand
that
is
already
actually
up
and
running,
and
that
staff
could
put
the
plan
up
I,
don't
think,
there's
anything
that
stops
any
member
of
the
community
to
work
with
staff
and
to
give
feedback
on
how
the
consultation
is
developing
from
now.
B
Until
the
report
comes
to
council,
I
think
the
consultation
is
actually
going
to
try
to
involve
every
singer
counselor
in
the
city,
and
hopefully
counselors
in
this
committee-
will
take
a
leadership
role
in
getting
consultations
in
their
own
communities
and
and
involving
the
city
as
whole,
and
so
I
think
we
want
to
involve
everybody
and
I.
Don't
think
that
this
is
the
end.
This
is
just
the
beginning
and
and
I
asked
that
the
members
of
the
community,
the
committee
work
with
staff
and
follow
this
process
along
and
give
them
feedback.
B
As
you
know,
you
know,
the
staff
is
very
welcoming
on
on
on
feedback
and
suggestions
and
I.
Think
that's
that
we
can
do
that.
Definitely
here,
but
we
can
also
having
with
a
good
relationship
that
we
have
with
them
and
and
assisting
them,
and
in
doing
this
work
so
said
that
kills
what
perks
you
want
to
speak.
Yeah
go
ahead.
J
So
I
recall
actually
the
launch
of
the
previous
10-year
housing
action
plan
and
you
know
I've
watched
it
evolved
and
I've
watched
what
the
outcomes
have
been,
where
the
shortfalls
have
been
and
so
forth
and
and
over
the
last
I
want
to
say
three
or
four
years
as
the
housing
crisis
has
become
more
and
more
severe.
Several
members
of
council
myself,
I
saw
you
know:
counselor
bylaw,
councillor,
Fletcher
councillor
long
Tam
and
many
others
have
said.
J
Maybe
we
need
to
move
this
piece
forward
or
do
something
around
that
piece
and
we've
been
told,
that's
great
advice?
Why
don't
we
put
it
into
our
2020
plan?
I've
been
I,
probably
told
that
a
half
dozen
times
and
I
see
councillor
wong-tam
nodding.
That's
that's
something.
We've
all
been
told
everyone
in
the
building
is
known
for
years
that
that
this
crucial
and
important
work
was
coming.
J
We
also
know,
after
having
just
been
through
a
budgeting
process
where
we
were
told
there
are
two
kinds
of
plans:
there
are
the
ones
that
are
budgeted
for
and
the
ones
that
are
in
principle.
We've
heard
those
words
a
lot
and
I.
Think
I
can
tell
you
from
having
sat
on
the
Budget
Committee
many
years
ago.
J
Is
that
in
about
three
months
or
even
two
months,
the
budget
submissions
for
the
2020
budget
start
I'm
sure
that
the
planning
has
already
been
in
touch
with
some
of
the
general
managers,
saying:
okay,
we're
starting
to
get
ready
now,
so
we've
known
this
thing
is
coming
for
three
years:
we've
known
that
we
would
have
to
consult
with
the
public.
We
knew
that
the
first
year
of
implementation
was
going
to
require
budgetary
submissions
to
happen
over
this
summer.
J
All
of
that
is
known,
and
yet
here
we
are
ten
weeks
ahead
at
the
beginning
of
the
summer
and
I'm
still
finding
out
and
haven't
found
out
how
it
is
we're
engaging
the
public
in
one
of
what
I
would
say
is,
or
of
one
of
maybe
three
of
the
most
crucial
public
policy
issues
facing
the
City
of
Toronto.
Now
I
appreciate
that
we
demand
an
enormous
amount
from
the
public
service
in
dealing
with
these
issues.
Our
our
shelter,
housing
and
support
staff.
I
am
amazed.
Any
of
them
ever
gets
to
sleep
at
night.
J
J
But
if,
if
given
those
demands,
we
don't
have
the
demands,
we
don't,
we
don't
have
the
resources
that
we
would
have
been
in
the
middle
by
now
of
a
really
robust
consultation
plan
that
I
could
show
to
people
in
Toronto,
saying
we're
looking
at
things
like
the
Vienna
model,
we're
aware
of
what
just
happened
in
in
Berlin,
where
they're
considering
a
referendum
to
expropriate
any
any
landowner
who
owns
more
than
two
thousand
units
and
turned
that
into
public
housing.
Where
we're
not
looking

What's
going
on
in
Vancouver,
we
should
have
all
of
that
in
the
hounds
of
the
hands
of
thousands
of
Torontonians
today
that
should
all
be
in
everyone's
hands
so
that
we
could
have
the
conversation
further
advanced
and
if
the
problem
is
that
City
of
Toronto
staff
do
not
have
the
resources
so
that
we
could
be
at
that
place.
I'm
wondering
where
was
the
budget
asked
this
year
and
last
year,
I
very
carefully
reviewed
the
asks
from
shelter,
housing
and
support
the
asks
from
the
affordable
housing
office.
J
I
saw
some
requests
to
help
deliver
something
mayor
announced
housing,
opportunities,
Toronto,
but
I
didn't
see.
They
asked
to
make
this
process
accelerated
and
robust.
You
know
and
I'm
sitting
here
with
my
copy
of
the
City
of
Toronto
act,
which
says
very
clearly:
city
council
governs
and
we
lead
these
processes,
not
with
respect
the
chair
of
the
committee
or
the
mayor
and
the
fact
that
I
is
someone
who
is
part
of
that
government.
J
B
G
Okay,
we
have
that
yeah,
it's
not
going
to
council.
Is
it
no?
It's
an
information,
it's
information,
so
you
know
it's
easy
to
come
in
from
boaters
back
and
figure
out
what
more
might
have
to
happen.
But
this
is
a
very
big
issue.
It's
probably
one.
It
is
the
biggest
issue
in
the
city,
so
I
think
for
people
want
to
get
their
teeth
into
it.
A
bit
more.
That
shouldn't
be
surprising.
I.
G
H
This
morning,
good
afternoon,
councillors
I'm
still
Gene
Stephenson.
My
name
is
still
Jane
Stevenson
I'm,
still
the
executive
director
of
Madison
Community
Services
I'm,
still
the
vice-chair
of
the
Toronto
Alliance
to
End
Homelessness,
but
and
I'm.
Also
germane
to
this
particular
agenda
item
is
I'm
also
on
the
ta
EHS
new
development
working
group
and,
frankly,
on
behalf
of
the
tah-tah
I'm
here
to
say
some
thank
yous
because
we're
extremely
pleased,
starting
with
commending
the
deputy
city
manager,
together
with
the
affordable
housing
office
and
s
sha,
for
this
proactive
first
report.
H
That's
very
exciting
to
those
of
us
within
this
sector
and
and
and
much
much
appreciated
and,
of
course,
much
needed.
The
specific
motions
that
were
passed
about
targeting
one
of
the
the
housing
now
sites
to
be
supportive,
housing
and
especially
to
have
enhanced
consideration,
be
given
to
submissions
that
include
new
supportive
housing
for
all
eleven
of
the
housing
now
sites.
Also,
the
motion
that
recognizes
the
need
to
find
ways
to
address
the
fine,
the
need
to
address
the
need
for
deeper
levels
of
affordability.
H
That's
just
going
to
be
very
crucial
moving
forward,
particularly
with
the
city's
commitment
to
creating
a
one
1,800
supportive
housing
units
a
year
over
the
next
ten
years.
So,
regarding
this
agenda
item
I
can
attest
that
it
does
represent
and
accurately
capture
the
identification
by
the
providers
of
numerous
challenges
that
need
to
be
addressed
and,
and
also
some
concrete
suggestions
that
were
made
at
the
meeting.
I
know
I'm
gonna
run
out
of
time
soon,
but
but
germane
to
your
comments,
councillor
Burks
in
terms
of
what's
happening
in
other
places
you
see
in
the
report.
H
H
So
in
preparation
for
the
Charette,
the
Toronto
limestone
homelessness,
new
development
working
group
carried
out
an
initiative
where
interviews
were
conducted
with
8
supportive
housing
providers
with
recent
attempts.
Some
few
successful
a
lot
not
to
create
more
affordable
housing
and
in
my
the
document
that
I
have
presented
for
my
deputation
I
have
copied
the
summary
of
the
executive
summary
of
the
results
of
the
of
this
interviewing
of
providers
who
have
tried
to
create
new
development
and,
and
also
the
committee
itself
for
the
working
group
itself.
H
So
all
of
that
is
in
my
deputation
and
it
shows
that
there
is
an
alignment
and
what
was
captured
a
bit
in
this
in
this
report,
and
we
appreciate
that
and
we
are
we're
offering
much
more
detailed
action.
Steps
and
I
would
say.
The
two
key
things
is
that,
if
you
take
are
able
to
take
a
look
at,
it
is
recognizing
that
the
city
is
now
embraced
in
all
government
approach
to
creating
affordable
housing
through
its
new
housing
and
planning
committee
and
housing.
H
No
initiative
to
enable
we
say
to
enable
the
city
to
meet
its
annual
target
of
1800
new
supportive
housing
units.
We
really
need
the
city
to
take
a
similar
approach
to
recognize
the
creation
of
perpetually
affordable
housing
accessible
to
people
on
Oh,
W
and
ODSP,
who
need
support
as
a
city
priority
in
all
city
to
the
divisions,
meaning
that
everybody
is
on
the
same
page.
Everybody
sings
from
prayer-book
and
and
really
working
together,
extremely
collaborative
collaboratively
to
make
to
achieve
the
target
of
1800
new
supportive
housing
units.
G
C
H
Yes,
I
was
a
participant
at
that
meeting
and
and
as
I
say,
we
were
very
pleased
to
be
invited
and
to
have
the
opportunity
to
be
part
of
the
start
of
addressing
the
commitment
to
expanding
supportive
housing
in
Toronto.
But
we
look
forward
to
that
being
an
ongoing
opportunity
and
are
playing
a
role
and
are
being
a
reference
group
in
that
process.
I
believe.
C
The
motion
back
in
January
was
specifically
to
report
back
on
an
aggressive,
supportive
and
transitional
housing,
build
plan
in
Toronto,
but
that's
not
what's
before
us
today,
right
right,
so
it's
it's
more
like
an
in
term.
We
had
him.
We
had
a
meeting.
We
spoke
to
stakeholders,
a
few
big
ideas
came
out
of
it
or
perhaps
not
necessarily
new,
but
big
to
Toronto
modular
housing
and
the
need
to
unpack,
perhaps
some
of
the
provincial
and
federal
budgets,
the
announcements
that
are
to
come
mm-hmm.
H
H
Correct,
except
that
it's
it's
up,
it's
correct
and
it's
capturing
some
of
the
the
suggestions
but
I
particularly
appreciate
the
and
the
opportunity
to
share,
misses
and
sheÃll
sharing
we're
hoping
that
there's
gonna
be
a
Charette
soon
we're
all
city
divisions
are
brought
together
with
the
Toronto
Alliance
and
homelessness
and
affordable
housing
office.
Organizing
it
councillor,
Palau
is
involved
in
that,
and
we
will
be
presenting
the
full
set
of
recommendations
that
emerged
from
from
our
interviews
and
our
own
discussions
around
things
that
need
to
happen
for
an
aggressive
approach.
Right.
C
And
Ann
Jean
you
mentioned
that
you're.
Seeing
an
all-government
approach
to
this.
Is
this
all
government
approach
a
result
of
focus
and
coordinated
meetings
that
happen
on
a
regular
basis
with
a
timeline
to
achieve
certain
outcomes?
Perhaps
with
a
plan
that's
gonna,
be
costed
and
funded?
Is
that
okay,
I
haven't
heard
about
this?
All
government
approach,
so
I'm
very
I
think.
H
C
H
G
Know
that
councillor
Monica
has
brought
that
up
and
that
one
of
the
things
that
I've
been
concerned
about
and
I've
asked
evidence
about
before
is
the
other
levels
of
government
mm-hmm.
We
know
that
you
have
very
good
access
to
us.
Would
you
agree?
Yes,
think
you
can
make
deputation
about
things
that
are
so
important
to
you,
and
you
are
here
for
the
Toronto
Alliance
to
End
Homelessness,
as
well
as
your
core
position
at
Madison
Community
Services.
Does
it
concern
you
one
of
the
things
the
city
has
asked?
G
We
only
have
a
certain
budget
for
all
of
the
work
that
we're
doing,
including
building
supportive
or
supporting
people
moving
them
from
places
and
being
able
to
support
them
or
even
to
be
able
to
support
them.
Let's
say
in
Toronto
Community
Housing,
where
they're
vulnerable,
but
they
have
no
supports.
Would
you
join
us,
or
is
that?
G
Let
me
just
ask
if
the
Toronto
Alliance
to
End
Homelessness
is
advocating
strongly
for
the
federal
government
to
pay
the
bill
of
the
forty
five
million
dollars
that
we've
asked
for
to
cover
the
refugee,
how
the
immediate
urgent
shelter
needs
and
I'm
always
asking.
If
we
can
ask
you
to
be
stronger
in
your
advocacy
once
we
have
that
forty
five
million
dollars
covered
than
those
dollars
can
cover
other
parts
of
the
housing
and
homelessness
portfolio
that
you
are
very
interested
in,
you
just
address
that.
Are
you
concerned
that
that
money
wasn't
in
the
budget?
Oh.
H
H
G
E
H
G
H
And
I
think
what
would
be
helpful
is
is
maybe
perhaps
a
you
know,
a
small
meeting
for
the
Toronto
alliance
and
homelessness
to
being
find
out
what
the
city
actually
has
done
to
date,
for
example,
was
the
city
contacting?
Are
you
sitting?
Not
it's
not
a
par?
Is
it
not
appropriate
for
the
city
to
be
contacting
in
peace,
city.
G
But,
having
advocates
that
they'd
like
to
see
that
forty
five
million
dollars
would
be
very
helpful
and
if
you
would
be
great,
if
you
could
tell
all
the
people
in
the
community
and
then
I'd
be
happy
if
you'd,
let
me
know
that
that's
happened
because
I'm
very
concerned,
but
dollars
are
stretched
and
I
know
that
people
feel
very
comfortable
coming
here
to
raise
issues
around
homelessness
and
shelters,
but
getting
information
back
that
we're
doing
we're
swimming
we're
we're
going
underwater
here
and
we
need
those.
We
need
that
money.
H
G
Guess
she
could
the
chair
just
or
just
a
letter
to
the
committee
would
be
it
would
that
would
be
very
helpful
if
the
committee
that
others
than
just
the
city
manager
and
the
mayor
were
speaking
about
the
money
mm-hmm,
the
community,
that
so
your
community
is
very
passionate
and
is
very
loud
voice,
and
this
is
a
moment
when
that
voice
needs
to
be
directed
to
Ottawa.
Thank
you.
Thank.
H
You
for
informing
me
and
and
well
I
I
can't
speak
until
we've
all
agreed
right,
but
personally
I
can
say
that
I
just
am
appalled
that
the
that
this
has
not
been
honored.
This
was
a
this
was
in
fact
a
commitment,
Madison
itself.
We
work
with
the
refugee
claimants,
and
so
so
we're
right
in
there
and
great,
and
thank
you
to
the
city
for
sheltering
them.
Thank.
B
C
C
E
C
E
C
That's
that's
clearly
the
case
and,
and
we
should
not
be
asking
you
for
something
that
you
can't
do
deliver
so
quickly,
but
understanding
that
that's
a
lease
of
baseline
that
we
start
with
in
the
meeting
that
you
would
have
held
back
on
February
2019,
you
would
have
started
the
conversation
I
imagine
with
some
baselines,
understanding
environmentally,
where
we
are
today
what
we
need
to
do
to
get
to
where
we
need
to
go
tomorrow
like
so.
What
would
that
strategy?
Look
like
the
sketch
just
give
me
an
idea
of
how
are
you
folks
at?
K
The
chair
councillor
the
considerable
amount
of
time
in
the
meeting
and
then
we're
happy
to
again
from
a
staff
perspective
share
the
minutes
of
that
meeting
with
you
or
the
notes
that
were
prepared
was
essentially
looking
at
what
the
current
climate
was
and
the
challenges
that
the
current
organisations
have,
particularly
with
respect
to
maintaining
what
they
have
and
I
think
it's
a
really
important
point
that
there
was
a
lot
of
sort
of
emphasis
about.
Well,
how
do
you
grow
the
system?
Well,
the
system
itself
is
struggling
even
as
it
exists
today.
C
K
And
so
so
part
of
the
the
the
challenge
in
front
of
us
and
what
we'll
be
bringing
forward
as
part
of
the
strategy
when
it
comes,
and
that
and
the
the
further
report,
whether
that's
in
May,
June
or
July,
we'll
talk
about
how
we
preserve
and
maintain
and
strengthen
our
existing
network
of
supportive
housing
providers
that
are
actually
feeling
very,
very
vulnerable
within
the
economic
climate
and
within
the
funding
programs
that
they
exist.
The
second
part,
then,
is
how
then,
do
you
grow
that
system
and
where,
where
would
it?
K
Where
would
it
grow,
and
so
it's
sort
of,
if
you
will,
the
aspirational
part
of
it
and
the
organization's
are
itching
if
I
could
say
that
to
come
forward
with
us
and
look
at
that,
and
in
particular
how
they
attach,
if
you
will,
their
efforts
to
other
programs
that
are
already
in
flight.
So
friends
is
the
housing
now
initiative
on
the
11
sites
was
one,
but
in
addition
to
that,
create
teo
has
many
many
other
sites
that
are
not
larger
sites.
C
Appreciate
that
and
thank
you
very
much
for
that
helpful
information,
because
it's
not
quite
in
the
report,
so
it's
really
about
maintaining
and
then
growing
and
knowing
that
supportive
housing
across
the
city
is
funded
by
a
number
of
organizations.
The
city,
of
course,
is
one
of
them.
The
lens
is
the
other.
The
ministry
of
long-term
care,
the
Ministry
of
Community
and
Social
Services
Developmental
Services
Ontario.
The
only
one
that
I
listed
that
is
relevant
to
us
is
really
the
City
of
Toronto.
That's
direct
that
we
have
direct
control
over
everyone
else.
C
All
those
other
agencies
and
arms
of
government
are
specifically
provincially,
funded
and-
and
perhaps
there
are
more
that
are
federally
funded
the
provinces
is,
has
got
to
be
at
the
table
in
order
for
us
to
build
the
18,000
new
units
of
supportive
housing
in
order
for
us
to
meet
that
growing
demand.
What
is
the
strategy
to
engage
the
provincial
government.
K
Through
the
through
the
chair
as
part
of
our
intergovernmental
asks,
as
a
part
of
both
the
federal
and
provincial
budgets,
the
city
manager
and
the
mayor
have
requested
support
from
the
provincial
and
federal
governments
for
supportive
housing.
That's
why
the
April
11th
provincial
budget
is
so
important
coming
forward
next
month
and
as
well.
The
city's
senior
executives
of
aweful
been
in
discussions
with
the
provincial
agencies
and
the
Ministry
of
Health,
with
respect
for
the
need
for
supportive
housing
and.
C
What
can
we
do
to
make
sure
that
those
between
now
and
and
April,
the
11th,
the
federal
budget
just
came
out?
So
we
have
to
unpack
the
the
granular
details
of
that,
but
between
now
and
April
the
11th?
What
can
we
do
to
make
sure
that
the
provincial
government
knows
that
this
is
a
dire
need?
A
service
request,
a
funding
request
from
the
City
of
Toronto.
B
C
Want
to
get
I'm
trying
to
get
to
an
action
because
I
think
that
there
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
time
last
year
last
question:
we
don't
have
a
long
time
left.
There
have
been
times
where
the
city
has
undertaken
a
campaign
to
raise
the
profile
of
a
particular
issue.
I
recognize
that
there's
conversations
have
at
the
staff
level.
There
are
conversations
between
the
mayor
and
perhaps
the
Premier's
office,
I,
don't
know.
But
what
can
what
can
the
residents
do?
C
K
I
think
it
would
be
a
message
that
mpps
particularly
sure
here
and
if
there's
a
way
by
which,
in
particular,
now
of
course,
when
you've
got
counselors
that
are
elected
in
the
same
boundaries
as
the
MPPs,
that
the
MPPs
be
informed.
How
important
of
an
issue
this
is
to
to
the
city
or
the
premier
for
that
matter.
Thank.
B
G
You
Kyle's
reflect
I,
just
have
one
question
and
that's
a
number
of
supportive
housing
projects
were
built
with
a
program
that
has
a
25-year
horizon
I'm
thinking
of
the
Good
Shepherd
project
that
I
brought
up
today
again
with
that,
when
this
first
speakers
were
here,
what
what
this
would
be.
Are
we
looking
at
a
situation
where,
in
ten
years
that
that
landlord
can
take
the
building
back
and
it's
no
longer
a
supportive
housing
building.
K
Through
the
chair
councillor
most,
if
not
all,
of
the
supportive
housing
projects
have
being
built
through
different
operating
agreements,
and
they
all
have
end
dates
and
you're
correct
that
those
end
dates
will
arrive
and
unless
there's
a
newly
negotiated
arrangement
go
forward
basis,
then
those
projects
would
would
no
longer
be
supportive
housing.
So.
G
K
The
chair
that
has
not
been
reported
out,
but
we
are
with
our
colleagues
in
shelter,
housing
and
support
tracking
when
operating
agreements,
and
not
only
with
programs
through
the
investment
in
affordable
housing
or
the
affordable
housing
program,
but
also
through
the
social
housing
approach,
and
that
was
my
reference.
If
you
will
to
council
wong-tam
as
yes,
let's
expand
the
system,
but
we
also
have
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
losing
supportive
housing
in
the
process
as
well.
Oh
you.
K
G
K
K
G
K
G
B
C
To
say
thank
you
to
the
staff
I
recognize
that
we
are
asking
for
a
lot
of
quick,
robust
reports,
detail
plans
of
action
that
are
that
require
a
significant
brain
power
and
also
capacity
to
write
and
I
know
that
this
is
all
coming
pretty
fast
and
furious.
The
affordable
housing
office
has
not
been
empowered
over
the
past
terms.
As
far
as
I
can
tell
since
I've
been
here
to
really
take.
You
know
a
strong,
visible
lead
on
the
issue
of
housing.
C
I
know
that
that's
changed
the
profile
the
office
is
going
to
go
up
and
at
the
same
time
we
need
to
empower
staff.
Clearly
we
need
to
empower
staff
to
have
more
resources
to
do
the
work.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you,
and
if
my,
if
my
comments
or
my
questions
came
across
too
harsh
today,
I
apologize.
J
Just
so
you're
aware
we
dealt
with
this
is
Toronto
Drug
Strategy
eight
years
ago,
and
we
involved
emergency
services,
the
Toronto
Police
Service
breakaway
addiction
services,
but
it
was
led
by
Toronto
Public
Health,
and
we
actually
did
some
good
social
research
about
who's
winding
up
in
emergency
rooms
because
of
a
lack
of
supports
so
that
works
been
done
and
the
thing
that
might
make
it
more
attractive
to
the
province
is.
It
did
include
a
lot
of
support
from
first
responders
police
in
EMS.
Okay,
thank.
B
You
very
helpful
I
do
have
a
motion.
This
is
motion
as
a
result
of
a
conversation
that
counts
what
cressie
had
with
staff
and
I'm
moving
on
his
behalf,
I
think
that
there's
gonna
be
it
the
report
says
July
and
staff
is
gonna,
do
their
best
efforts
to
see
if
we
can
try
it
to
the
May
28th.
We
were
hoping
to
have
a
meeting
in
June
and
have
it
at
the
June,
but
there's
no
meeting
in
June.
So
there's
no
planning
and
housing
meeting
in
June.
It's
either
it's
May
28th
and
July
3rd.
