[1:27] For the whole population, but you certainly defended very well the residence in your

[1:33] district and we. WE started at the same time. I remember you and and I at the Beaconsfield.

[1:45] Trainstation giving up pamphlets together. So we were the only ones that we're

[1:52] neutral at that time. So everybody else was a team together. So so thank you very

[1:58] much for what you've done and I now I think it's your second retirement to like like me, but

[2:10] good health and I know that your world will want to watch your granddaughter a lot more

[2:20] and hockey. So so you'll have the time now to do it. I don't know if you want to say a few

[2:28] words, but we'll start saying we were in Toronto and I over the weekend and sign of exactly

[2:35] one tree games. I was that is a lot of good, good good. The University of Waterloo who the

[2:41] last years. I've been beat the nothing. So I think they got a very good team and they

[2:45] actually meet the university of Toronto. So it's been to be very exciting at the full of

[2:49] them. So thank you, George. I think you know it's been a lot of fun. I've enjoyed you a lot

[2:55] to be funny because I thinking today that you know I don't mean to be insulting in any way

[3:03] to anyone or or or with my example, but it's almost like when you lose a pay you know

[3:09] you've been so attached to someone and something for for twelve years that suddenly you

[3:15] know now that separation exists and you're saying like that you know how much you gonna gonna

[3:19] leave without you guys, You know all that I can always come in and you know to take one of

[3:25] these seats as well, but it's been a lot of fun. I've enjoyed talking to residence being a

[3:29] part of it and I would certainly think it's been. You know just a wonderful twelve

[3:33] years. I think more people should think about running for useful elections, which we were

[3:39] part of everything. That's going on. WE know it's happening. We're thinking for

[3:43] the future and representing our constituante as well. So let me just take the city as well the

[3:49] administration. The employees. I think it's been a pleasure to work with you guys and you've

[3:53] been very supportive along the way and at the same time. Thank you for to my supporter and

[3:59] volunteers over the years, so without them. I certainly wouldn't have been here at all.

[4:04] So thank you to all of you and best wishes to the company election and all. Thank you

[4:11] very much. Thank you. Yes, thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you appreciate it that

[4:26] was that. Alors? Après douze ans, moi aussi j'ai décidé de me retirer de la vie politique.

[4:40] Je me suis jamais vu comme un politicien, plutôt comme un homme d'affaires qui a décidé

[4:48] de contribuer à sa communauté après une retraite comme homme d'affaires. Thank you for your

[4:58] confidence for the last twelve years and thank you for those that actually did right to me

[5:08] and with very very kind words. So I appreciate that very much. I have talked about my legacy

[5:16] in the twenty twenty twenty five summer edition of contact. I think the highlights for me.

[5:26] Are how we were managed to keep lots locals. Thanks for twelve years below. Inflation and

[5:36] unfortunately the agglomerations was not able to do the same thing and sky. I

[5:42] want your tax for the agglomerations, but the whole lot local tax were kept under

[5:50] inflation. I think the conservation of angels would was a highlight and my twelve

[6:00] years. Et le centre culturel qui est temps, qui est un projet qui est en train de se

[6:06] réaliser. Pour moi, c'est une réalisation extraordinaire. C'est un héritage pour la

[6:16] communauté de Beaconsfield. C'est un projet de premier plan. En plus, c'est dans un parc sur

[6:25] le bord de l'eau, alors on pourrait pas avoir un background. Le mieux que ça et.

[6:34] La dernière fois, la dernière chose que je veux mentionner, c'est la. The last but against

[6:42] Montreal. I think that this is dear to me and I know that we have not resolve the issue.

[6:50] It's now twenty plus million-dollar is that we are claiming from the Montreal and

[6:58] and the Quebec government. I am very confused that we will have a favorable decisions and I

[7:10] hope that with the same bigger that I have put behind that that the new council will carry

[7:20] this car is this on and till the end. Being maire of Beaconsfield has been one of

[7:28] the most challenges challenging demanding and rewarding commitment of my life. I would

[7:36] also like to thank my colleagues on the council at the municipal administration

[7:46] under the leadership of Patrice Boileau, director General my executive assistant that is

[7:54] here tonight, we have wink wink and all the volunteers and partners in community life.

[8:02] Thank you for your commitment, your loyalty your ideas and sometimes even your questions.

[8:12] Special thanks to my family for their unwavering support patience and wisdom to my wife.

[8:23] Ellen, who is present here tonight? I thank you for your constant presence advice and

[8:29] confidence through this adventure. I leave politics with Serenity, but I remain

[8:37] deeply attached to Beaconsfield. Tonight. It is my pleasure to announce that Allen and I and

[8:48] my family will donate one hundred thousand dollars to the cultural center project. I hope

[9:10] that the future council and Meyer will follow my lead. Now, we can go to the. Return

[9:28] questions that we go in the mail, the first one from Rita Reid. Shamrock organic waste

[9:40] pickup would it be possible to increase the organic pick up for twice a month to twice a

[9:46] month. It would have a lot of organic matters going into landfill city like pincourt and

[9:53] Kirkland have pick up pick up every week all year longue. It would even be a help during the

[10:00] months of November and march. Maybe more people with start using it if they know it would

[10:06] be picked up more often thank you well that the question is very very timely because thank

[10:14] you for your suggestion, but this item is on tonight agenda. If the contract is awarded

[10:21] according to option three organic waste collection would moved to our weekly year around

[10:28] schedule fifty two pick up per year. And these two new contract that we will approve

[10:36] tonight. Hopefully, we will approve them will save the city one hundred and the thousand

[10:44] dollars. So we're very very happy that is the win win for the city and for the residence.

[10:54] Nicole Corrado, saint. Andrew. Nicole. Maid various. Comment and your comment? Nicole are

[11:04] noted as you are currently a candidate for mer any further statements our position should

[11:12] be shared through your campaign during the election period. Mr Russell Duncan avondale. Maire

[11:24] Burrell, you served the city well building bridges making Tufts calls and living behind a

[11:32] legacy that will outlast your thing your as someone who knows the players and what this city

[11:40] needs better than anyone. You have inside the waters need to hear well you endorses any

[11:48] candidate to be your success or and what quality should the next maire? Have I know it's

[11:56] the question Everyone's asking the residents deserve to know your answer. Thank you for your

[12:02] time and your your years of service best regards. Russell. Thank you for your kind words

[12:10] and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have served our community out of the respect,

[12:16] out of the respect of the democratic processes and the residents right to make their

[12:22] own inform choices choices. I will not be commenting on our endorsing any candidate.

[12:30] However, I would think that experience expertise, expertise in leadership and the platform

[12:40] of each candidate whether by counselor or maire that you should look at and determine

[12:52] who you will actually vote for at that time. This those are the question that we're written

[13:02] and now we can go to the floor to ask any questions if you have any questions. Would you

[13:12] go to the Mike and then it yourself and then ask your questions. Girard. Julie.

[13:24] Est-ce que c'est vrai qu'il n'y a pas de. Non non, non. Pauline. Guy Girard sur Jubilee, La

[13:32] question. 40.40 point un Règles de modification des règles de régie interne du Comité

[13:38] consultatif d'urbanisme. Est-ce que vous pouvez élaborer un peu plus? Qu'est ce que ça veut

[13:42] dire? Request to modify the internal rules of procedure of the planning Advisory Committee,

[13:50] c'est ça? Oui, oui. Alors peut être que. Patrice Oui. David je ne suis pas là adressé au

[14:00] président du Oui oui en fait merci pour la question. En fait c'est pendant plusieurs années,

[14:05] on avait six personnes qui qui se présentent comme des résidents qui sont qui fait

[14:10] partie de comités. Et au fur et à mesure, on a réalisé que parfois il n'y a pas, En

[14:16] général, la participation était excellente, mais parfois on est un nombre pair. Alors Et par

[14:24] défaut, moi, je suis évidemment, mon vote compte ici. Normalement, lorsqu'on révise

[14:28] les projets aussi, mais dans les circonstances où c'est un nombre de par mois, je. Aussi,

[14:36] je vote sur le Committee aussi pour briser le vote ou avoir un vote en faveur ou défaveur.

[14:42] Donc pour minimiser, ça réduit les chances que ça arrive. On a rajouté une autre, un autre

[14:48] membre, cette personne finalement. Et aussi ça donne je pense qu'au bout de la ligne

[14:52] aussi, c'est pas mauvais d'avoir un peu plus de personnes. On pourrait avoir

[14:56] une limite. Le nombre de personnes sur le comité pourrait être gérable aussi,

[14:58] mais ça ajoute une personne de plus. C'est une autre voix de plus pour les résidents de vie

[15:04] qui entrent sur le comité. En même temps, ça, c'est un atout. Et aussi, on avait un manque

[15:10] pour n'importe quelle raison, mais il y avait un manque dans un secteur de Beaconsfield. Et

[15:14] là, on a trouvé un candidat ou un candidat qui s'est présenté dans cette région de

[15:18] Beaconsfield, qui va rejoindre le comité. Donc, en bout de la ligne, on ajoute une personne,

[15:26] comme je disais tantôt, mais il y a aussi d'avoir un remplaçant pour avoir un voix pour tous

[15:30] les secteurs de Beaconsfield qu'on n'avait pas nécessairement auparavant.

[15:33] C'est un peu le rationnel derrière ça. Donc, c'est pas tout à fait des règles, c'est

[15:36] non, non, non, des règles, on a des règles internes, c'est plutôt des règles

[15:40] administratifs qu'on qu'on doit ajuster pour avoir, pour permettre d'avoir cette

[15:46] personne, d'ailleurs, là, 40,2. Dit Afin d'augmenter le nombre de membres constituant le

[15:52] comité de 6 à 7. Oui, c'est c'est un geste administratif, mais également on doit faire ce

[16:00] geste là, mais c'est un peu ça le rationnel en arrière, le choix, pourquoi on va élargir

[16:04] un petit peu le comité. OK? So we're we're just moving the committee from sixth the seven

[16:09] people on the planning advisory board for those that didn't catch that so quickly as I said

[16:15] there the we had sixth people which is sixth district six people, but sometimes we would

[16:21] be and even number it when there's a committee there, we sometimes you have to break the

[16:25] vote. I don't normally vote on the committee, but when it's the time, then I'd be the

[16:29] tie-breaker so the building that would you just had one more person, so that we can

[16:33] really reduce the circumstances where when the times of that happening plus the other person,

[16:37] that's coming and also represent vary and beacons for that wasn't covered before so

[16:41] we have a better coverage and the voice and we'll have a voice for for those looking at

[16:47] the the project, it comes to the planning advisory committee, which are typically you know

[16:51] new construction major renovations and things of that nature. So, ça répond à ta

[16:58] question? Oui. Parfait. Oui, J'avais une autre question pour le 60.2. Vous avez parlé de

[17:02] l'approbation du rapport au lieu d'un dépôt. Mais c'est quoi le plan de gestion des

[17:06] actifs des eaux en haut? Est ce que ça c'est l'aqueduc, les égouts ou les deux ou. Le 60

[17:15] 65.2? Oui, c'est le dépôt du rapport sur le plan de gestion des actifs des actifs en eau

[17:21] datée du 16 septembre 20 21. Oui, oui, oui. Merci pour votre question, madame Girard C'est

[17:29] le plan de gestion des actifs des eaux. C'est. C'est une obligation que le gouvernement

[17:33] du Québec impose à toutes les villes d'avoir son plan avant le 31 décembre 2026. En

[17:40] septembre 2024, la Ville a pris l'engagement de faire son plan, et notre plan est prêt à ce

[17:48] moment-ci. Donc, c'est le plan qui touche tant l'eau potable, tant l'eau, les eaux usées que

[17:52] les eaux pluviales. C'est l'ensemble de la gestion des eaux sur notre territoire. Et

[18:00] ça touche plusieurs facettes de la qualité de l'eau, le nombre de fois qu'on va en faire des

[18:06] avis d'ébullition, en supposant qu'on n'en a pas, comment on va procéder? Le niveau de service,

[18:10] le niveau de qualité, etc. Ça touche beaucoup, beaucoup d'éléments. C'est un travail

[18:14] qui a duré toute une année dans un comité de travail, avec l'appui d'un consultant. On y

[18:20] prend la première ville. Monsieur le Maire a déposé notre notre plan à un point tel

[18:26] que la résolution qu'on adopte ce soir, elle n'est pas encore rédigé au ministère des

[18:30] Affaires municipales. Donc, on prend de l'avant. Ils vont peut être nous dire oui, mais

[18:34] faudrait peut être la modifier un peu, on reviendra au conseil. Mais la bonne nouvelle là

[18:38] dedans d'être aussi, je ne veux pas dire expéditif, c'est pas le bon mot, mais d'être en

[18:42] avant de la parade, c'est qu'en ayant adopté ces deux engagements et notre plan, on

[18:46] va recevoir 300 zéro cents de plus dans notre subvention des infrastructures qu'on appelle

[18:52] la tech ou la gaz taxe, donc une subvention d'à peu près 6.2 qui va être augmentée de 300

[18:58] zéro zéro 0 $ sur une période de cinq ans, de 2024 à 2028. Donc, parce qu'on va arrêter,

[19:04] on va déposer avant le 31 décembre 2025, ceux qui déposent à partir du 1e?

[19:08] janvier 2026 auront pas 150 zéro 0 $ supplémentaires. Puis est ce que ça inclut la gestion

[19:13] des inondations qu'on a eu bien ou pas encore? Ça fait partie, les inondations, ça affecte les

[19:20] eaux pluviales. Donc je dirais que oui, mais c'est pas directement en lien avec ça. La

[19:24] gestion des inondations, ce serait plus dans notre un plan d'intervention en mesures

[19:30] d'urgence que nous avons adopté un plan d'action suite à la tempête Debbie qu'on a. On a

[19:36] mis un plan d'action en place. Donc, c'est pas tout à fait directement relié parce que

[19:40] gérer l'inondation, c'est pas comme gérer les eaux, là, au quotidien, mais évidemment ça

[19:44] devrait, on le souhaite, éviter à certaines occasions, en tout cas, qu'il y ait des

[19:48] inondations. Est ce que vous avez résolu le problème dans le bout de Tower là? Est ce que

[19:53] vous avez trouvé une solution pour les prochaines grosses? Je pense que c'est au mois d'août.

[20:01] On a donné quelques directives, on a fait quelques résolutions, mais est ce que vous me donnez

[20:05] encore quelques instants? Donc une des résolutions c'était de demander au CN d'enlever des

[20:10] ponceaux qui avaient été installés de façon temporaire. Je suis content de vous dire

[20:13] que ça a été enlevé il y a deux vendredis, je crois. Donc, on est très content que le CN a

[20:19] été expéditif là dessus. Le Conseil a aussi mandaté un consultant expert en en

[20:27] résilience de bâtiments pour aider les citoyens qui ont été affectés, encore une fois cette

[20:33] année à la tempête. La pluie abondante du 13 juillet, surtout les gens de Tower qui

[20:39] va donner un appui. En tout cas, il va faire un rapport sur comment améliorer leurs

[20:45] propriétés. Donc, ça, ça va se faire dans la première semaine du mois de novembre. Il va

[20:51] faire les 20 85, 30 portes, là, et les bâtiments qui sont affectés, il y a six bâtiments

[20:59] avec 30 portes, là. Et, dans cette semaine là, le jeudi soir, le 6 novembre, il va y avoir

[21:05] une présentation aux citoyens sur comment rendre sa propriété plus étanche aux inondations

[21:13] suite à des fortes pluies. Évidemment, la ville, on a des des choses qu'on est en train

[21:17] de regarder de notre côté, mais je l'ai mentionné aux citoyens de la rue Tower, on a partagé

[21:23] ça avec les élus. Selon Ouranos, qui est un organisme supporté par les grands du Québec, la

[21:29] période de 2040 à 2070, il faut s'attendre à cinq fois plus d'incidence. Et c'est pas exact.

[21:37] Les incidences de changements climatiques intenses que nous vivons devraient faire en sorte,

[21:43] si on veut être capable de répondre à ça avec des infrastructures municipales, il

[21:47] faudrait que nos infrastructures, nos infrastructures soit cinq fois

[21:50] plus grande que Vous pensez qu'un tuyau de douze pouces dans la rue, il faut le

[21:55] remplacer par un tuyau de 60 pouces. Ça n'arrivera pas. Donc, il faut se trouver des façons

[22:01] d'être résilient, tant dans les propriétés privées. Puis la ville fait ce qu'elle peut

[22:05] faire pour faciliter ça. Les citoyens qui font, qui ont fait appel à nous, avec le rapport,

[22:09] on va subventionner 75 % du coût de l'analyse de cette expertise là. Un des points

[22:13] peut être, ça serait de ne pas permettre de construire avec des sous-sols quand c'est dans

[22:17] des endroits où la nappe phréatique est haute, Ça fait partie de toutes les

[22:23] considérations que les urbanistes des villes et l'Association des urbanistes,

[22:27] l'ordre des urbanistes, sont en train d'analyser. Je sais qu'il y a des décisions qui ont été

[22:33] prises dans certaines villes, pas autant pour les sous sols que pour les habitations en

[22:37] sous-sol. Il y a des gens qui vivent dans un sous-sol à l'année longue. C'est un

[22:41] appartement, un bachelor comme on dit en bon québécois. Ça, ça va être interdit dans certaines

[22:47] villes. Maintenant, que ce soit un espace de vie familiale, si c'est un sous sol où les gens

[22:53] comme utilise pour fins personnelles d'agrandir leur maison, si je peux dire, un

[22:59] espace de vivoir, bien là, ça, ça pourrait leur appartenir. Mais, pour le moment, on n'est

[23:03] pas rendu là. Mais je sais qu'il y a des espaces de vie au niveau des appartements. Il y a

[23:09] des villes qui ont commencé à dire On ne permettra plus que ce soit un espace, un

[23:13] appartement, puis ceux qui sont affectés par ça, souvent déjà, sont démunis, puis en plus, ils

[23:16] se retrouvent avec une situation catastrophique, là. Donc, merci encore de règlement

[23:20] pour les sous sol en zone où la nappe phréatique phréatique est haute. On n'est pas rendu là,

[23:30] on n'a pas. Ça va faire partie des analyses, on en a pour quelques années avant d'arriver

[23:34] avec des projets d'infrastructures majeurs. Merci. Merci beaucoup. Est-ce

[23:37] qu'il y a d'autres questions? Bonsoir. I'm Caroline. Malcolm five roses so to begin. I want

[23:56] to thank you, Mr Borrel for the Financial management and Angel Woods and I was really happy

[24:02] when you were pursuing the city of Montreal when we were talking about the Florida in

[24:08] the water. I felt like you really went out and you tried to advocate for the citizens

[24:14] and regardless they made the decisions. But now here I show you the picture of the bus stop

[24:20] in front of for nine, nine month roses drive. And I just don't understand why we weren't

[24:28] told that the bus routes was coming on our street. I have two bus in front of my house

[24:34] every day and they're empty most of the time. So I know I was told to go to the STM,

[24:40] which I did and we still don't have any answer. Yeah I. Feel for for you because I tried to

[24:49] get an answer at the last agglomération meeting to you are questions that was. I know

[24:55] I know how I walked out I walk out because the answer that you go from madame Mozzarella was

[25:03] absolutely no. So I was and I wanted to want this out and I was not given the day at the

[25:15] opportunity to to talk. So I walked out. What I understood that, but they did let you

[25:23] speak the time before and and so they didn't apply their rules correctly right because

[25:29] the time before the lady said one question one response, but the time before you. Did you

[25:36] did respond? I listening you have to keep trying to go with the STM. And their decisions.

[25:46] That's it's not. What have ask us to. They ask us en opinion, but it's there with somebody

[25:56] said in the last council meeting somebody new where to put the same right, so somebody

[26:04] put the same for nine Nine was done instructions of the STM so the problem with the STM lady

[26:10] is the marketing will tell me tell me one thing. Are there any school bus that goes by

[26:18] Mount rose? Yes. But do you know the size of the STM bus I mean I proposed solution was

[26:27] the school bus. There are about the same size as the STM bus is well. Now, I don't know I don't

[26:35] know but. OK, if I mean look now the room is the room is the lead the West island. It's been

[26:42] here, It's been delayed until the spring and it might be even longer in the meantime will be

[26:52] alright. That's what we should do because that's it the reliable transport in the

[26:55] meantime. You keep going with the STM, Hopefully the will get your way. WE have no, no

[27:04] nothing to do with the decisions. I know that's why I'm frustrated because I go to

[27:10] the agglomerations and I get told go back to the STM, and then the STM doesn't answer

[27:16] anything. Well, that's so so where do you go? And they're running the deficit so I worked

[27:22] for IBM for seventeen years right? So financial management is really nice and here to my

[27:24] heart. So when I see empty bus in front of my house. I really wonder do what could we use

[27:31] resources in a better way right? Why? Why are people standing on the bus when it goes on chemin

[27:37] Sainte-Marie, but when it's right in front of my house, There's three people and why I

[27:44] have no idea because there is not in operation, Obviously the rm will change and right now

[27:52] because of no parking. The station people will have to bike and walk and the snowstorm

[28:02] transportation in the rain. So it's a community, it's a community service really so

[28:09] it's well, you know I mean, I still don't understand look, I wrote to the CDPQ

[28:15] infrastructure to say what are you putting parking? I mean the West Island, I told the

[28:21] agglomération that the West island is not the plateau. It's the same density. The question

[28:25] of parking has been taken taken up with the agglomération, madame Plante and the mirror of

[28:35] the mirror of Kirkland. Michelle Gibson is very very upset. I expressed our the fact

[28:47] that we were also upset, because there is no parking. It's not our decision. It's not

[28:54] our decision. The decision like the residents going to the STM, STM the. STM have monthly

[29:03] meetings, we and so go directly to the STM meeting and ask your question at that time I would

[29:14] have madame Paradis and she doesn't answer. So I know that's not your fault. I'm not

[29:19] I'm not saying that is the last meeting. I think it was that STM would hold the meeting with

[29:27] some residence. That's what I'm going, but she's not reaching out to me. So she was not

[29:35] alright. Thanks. You. So my colleague. Denis is the one coordinating this what I've

[29:41] heard and it's not confirmed yet. If it had been could be able that would have announced

[29:47] the council, but it's not I've I've heard from Denis that this meeting would take place here

[29:53] in the week of October thirteenth so and two weeks so not sure exactly when you are

[29:59] waiting confirmation so stm should communicate with you to tell you when that meeting is

[30:04] taking place. Is it just the fait accompli. WE just accept that they had some where they

[30:12] want or do we have a say in what what they want to do the city has put the same at those

[30:17] places and forming the residence where the same were going to be installed before

[30:22] they were installed and that went pretty well and. I guess it's not sorry. I was talking

[30:30] again. That's it's not with it was done under the leadership of Siam looking at all the

[30:36] roots, and that's all the locations that were preferred to have the bus platform, so

[30:42] which we had done thinking that would be running sometimes this summer that was delayed. So STM

[30:50] was waiting to have confirmation of a lot of information with the rem and

[30:54] they're gonna be able to explain their side of the story doing that meeting if I guess.

[31:02] In the meantime. We'll get the petition going against this bus because I don't think

[31:07] residences necessarily want to be driving down the now in residential street and

[31:14] specially empty bus. Cause I'm not sure that people will actually take the bus. I don't

[31:20] know if anyone in this council. Do you take the bus? Are you going to take the bus to go to

[31:26] the rem personally? I will take my car downtown. OK, anyway, good evening and happy

[31:32] retirement. I do appreciate that Beaconsfield. I've loved in Beaconsfield since I was ten

[31:39] years old I inherited my parents house and so I do appreciate beaconsfield and I

[31:43] certainly expect the next council to have very good financial management as Mr

[31:49] Burrell also provided in twelve years, so that I repeat again. It's not this council decision

[31:57] with the STM and the council here can not over over. Understand. I guess my next

[32:11] just question would be. Is there anything else that could happen in our lives that that

[32:17] could keep it to keep in mind that it's a community service and it's all for the community

[32:23] all of the West of saint Charles and that will have access to the bus in the

[32:29] morning and in the afternoon to take them to the rams, and that's very well. Thank you.

[32:38] Thank you. Is this again against for the bus and montrose. Robert was just I

[32:58] didn't communicate with the STM and writing. I can't hear you. Je ne peux même pas parler de

[33:04] ça. Je suis trop belle. I did communicate with the STM via email. And I was informed that

[33:12] everything that they are doing his work and step in the city of Beaconsfield, just friends

[33:16] of clarification. And here is what you said. So they are saying that the that there were

[33:22] all there is related to the bus is known to the council of Beaconsfield. Well, we know

[33:28] about it. Yes, we want, we're the advise us and but it's their decision. It's not here,

[33:35] but they. The information des decisions. I'm just trying to get the information which is

[33:43] not available to me. So if there's something that the city by the council has that I'm not

[33:49] aware of I'm just trying to information well when you have I mean it. I'll give you the

[33:57] structure of the agglomerations and the council and where it stands. I don't know I don't

[34:01] think you have appreciation of how this council works and the agglomerations works. I'm not

[34:07] challenging that I'm just trying to what planning went into this STM. Ask the STM at

[34:15] the risk of répartition. I did and they said that I should contact the city of

[34:21] Beaconsfield, because of all there are looking steps with the city of Beaconsfield. It's

[34:26] not it's not they're throwing, that's exactly what at the agglomération, the ride. Trop

[34:32] trop trop trop. The ball back at at Beaconsfield. But it's not our decision. It's not.

[34:40] It's the decision. Now I will repeat the same thing all over again. I don't want to have a

[34:46] second question or a third question on now I am sorry, but I. It's enough about the bus

[34:56] and want roses. Thank you very much at the risk of you. Insulting my father at the very

[35:03] men women that you said that he didn't understand where appreciate the agglomerations.

[35:07] I want to remind you that already in this conversation that we've had tonight, we've

[35:11] had two years from two members of the council that stipulais that the bus stop that were

[35:15] already planted on the ground, where it done by the STM in one scenario and by the city of

[35:19] Beaconsfield in another. So yes, I understand that the decision is not done by the ground. I'm

[35:25] talking. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I'm not done speaking of the same time that I'm just

[35:28] going to finish my command. Thank you very much because I'm gonna just finish you. Could

[35:34] you keep quiet for asking thank. The city city guide, Non, The city did the platform on the

[35:44] construction of the STM, so but the gentlemen here just stated that the city decided where the

[35:50] platform were going to go and that he ordered where they are going to go. I'm sorry, that's

[35:54] not what I said the lady. That's the question when the STM installed the the platform

[35:58] if we have installed the platform under the instructions or request of the STM, that's

[36:06] the different. So don't don't put it in my mouth. So I'm not right now by my city council.

[36:12] It's all that I thank you very much for your question. I think we talked about STM mount rose

[36:18] and bus in charge of our city you very much. That's it. I'm just. I'll ask somebody to

[36:28] remove you from the room. If you keep going going. Conversation. You would you

[36:34] please ask that gentlemen to stop now. What is this gonna be my common? Non. Non. Non. Oui.

[36:44] We've had enough about the STM bus. I'm not talking about the. Non, non non. Sorry. Please,

[36:52] please our future council is responsible for taking care of our citizens and listening and

[36:57] letting them speak. Any other questions. D'autres questions sur d'autres sujets? Non. My

[37:12] name is Robert. My God. So I'm. Robert. My God. I'm the president of Beaconsfield and I

[37:19] have questions about the regulation concerning the sound of solid fuel appliances that

[37:24] was past. In August, and I can't hear you. And questions about the regulation concerning

[37:33] the fuel appliances below that was past in August, and I was wondering when we just moved in.

[37:40] WE like fire, we really enjoyed the fireplace. Oui, oui, It's only saying that I used a cup

[37:45] of times a year traditional usually around Christmas and all the holidays. So was

[37:49] wondering what brought to the decision to be in the house of traditional fireplace and the

[37:55] city of Beaconsfield and and if it was for environmental reasons why bend fireplace

[38:01] versus other polluants like gaz power lawnmower or other gaz power loneliness that actually

[38:08] plus more than fireplace, which are only used to cup of time the year by residence. That is

[38:15] first of all recommendations from the environment committee who looked at the fireplace for

[38:23] the number of years with the environment committee. Recommended that the banning

[38:29] legislation for woodburn and twenty twenty two day again, brought it up and twenty twenty

[38:34] four, I would say that every thing that I looked at in in looking at indoor, would would

[38:46] be in with smoke with suggests that it's very unhealthy. It's toxic. And at that point, we

[38:54] have residence complaining and it's time about the breeding and with smoke. If you read the

[38:59] research on it. There is eight any medical association scientists or what have you

[39:06] that would say that would smoke is healthy to breathe? So I'll do it might be very enjoyable.

[39:12] The fact that the back is very unhealthy in fact the Canadian Lung association recommended

[39:21] banning all indoor would burning in all urban residential areas. So it was

[39:27] the IPA seize I think one of their research report. This was my love Campfire and Campfire

[39:35] smoke, but it's totally unhealthy. So there's no reason to do want to promote with

[39:43] woodbury with smoke in in residential neighborhoods and at the same time again, the

[39:51] medical and science research indicates that breeding in wood smoke. This is toxic at the

[39:58] same time. It's specially harmful to children pregnant women teenagers senior and

[40:07] those who suffer from asthma bronchites and anybody with long and heart to heart disease

[40:15] and in terms of asthma. There is a asthma Canada, There's eleven persons of Canadians who

[40:27] are asthmatique in person of that figure hold through across the Canada would indicate that

[40:33] it's twenty two hundred residents, so when you look at all of the individual groups

[40:40] that I've mentioned. That's about for the fifth President of Beacon Hill residence. So

[40:45] it's not good for anybody to breathe and even Westmount. In twenty twenty three and made it

[40:54] affected by twenty twenty for that would burning was simply horrible and it was something

[41:01] that they thought, they should continue even don't westmount people loved to enjoy their

[41:07] their open fireplace for special occasions. So I think in passing this legislation.

[41:17] Beaconsfield. Join the Montreal, it's nothing burrows and then suburban municipality of the

[41:25] merged in having common would burning regulation, so at this point in time ninety five pour

[41:32] 100 or one point million people now benefit from having woodbury legislation So I say

[41:39] there is absolutely no reason to think that would smoke coming from any fireplace.

[41:49] You're ready. What else? At Beaconsfield is actually helping the health of your

[41:55] d'abord and moreover I got one step further to say that it's very possible for talking and

[42:00] like that you're talking about like an open fireplace in your living room is that place in

[42:07] the living room? Because of the fact that if you are getting any kind of wood smoke and

[42:15] living. It's possible that you're breeding that in I've heard that even cleaning the

[42:20] ashes from your after the fire those find particle two point five. You could be breeding in.

[42:28] So again. I'll say is that this benefit fifty years of our residents who are directly

[42:35] affected by with smoke and I know that asthme asthmatique when they walk outside the

[42:41] winter time when you know what they breathe with smoke. They start to React, so those are

[42:47] the medical, the science reasons why you know this council and why the environment

[42:54] committee for the twenty twenty two and twenty twenty for recommended that we bring it

[42:59] with burning legislation. Thank you for your applied. I understand that it's not that

[43:04] it's not healthy, I wouldn't go and say that it's healthy to breathe. What would fire? I

[43:09] think most people know that it's not healthy for you. It's not something that people do

[43:14] regularly, however. I'm more wondering, you know I think the person it's people's

[43:20] responsibility their own decisions. If they want to have the world for burning.

[43:24] Fireplace is going outside. You know my family. She's the music. There's a lot of asthmatique in

[43:28] the family, but they do enjoy still the occasional fireplace and I know that not everybody

[43:32] who is asthmatique and I was able to walk outside and not have a reaction to having a

[43:38] fireplace. So I don't want to speak for everyone, but I was trying to rest and if there is

[43:42] people actually residence of Beaconsfield, who brought this forward who wanted to this or

[43:46] is it done by an external environmental committee who suggested the change. It's it's

[43:52] our inventory of environmental committee, that's as for it and the city of Montreal. Actually

[43:59] passed legislation twenty fifteen and and at that point if anything that would have

[44:06] been much easier if montreal had somehow found the way to just pass it right across all

[44:12] the all the island, the Montreal, I think would burning given the health if you just

[44:18] look up the health Canada or the IPA or the Canadian Redcross Canadian Association

[44:24] or heart and stroke foundation. They also you the same thing with smoke is terrible. Whether

[44:29] you are breeding at the campfire. Whether it's yours someone your neighbours is in

[44:34] it from your chimney if their walking and the other thing is that would smoke in wintertime

[44:40] for this way from your fireplace. Would smoke things to actually not go right up in

[44:46] the air and actually things to hanging law in the atmosphere, and so that the fine particle

[44:53] two point for five can actually enter the Windows of all your neighbours home, so they

[44:59] indirectly our breeding in with smoke and let's face it. It's up with their choice. So I'll

[45:06] do you and the people who want to work Burns would have a choice and wanting to burn wood,

[45:13] but the fact that the matter is your neighbors are not by giving the choice of not having

[45:17] to have to breathe in with toxic with smoke and top of that with smoke is worse than

[45:23] burning coal with smoke is worse than smoking cigarettes and I even red and surprisingly

[45:30] that with smoke is worse than breeding in careful car exhaust so that's that's the reasons

[45:39] why just complain I heard you take it. Ain't was gonna see it. But I didn't here and whether

[45:47] it is time for the president and I've had talked about everything about it and the

[45:52] contact magazine and many people have come to me the biggest thing they say when I

[45:57] say why don't you come here and complain is the most time goes. They're afraid of complaining

[46:03] about their neighbours. They don't want to have a bad relationship and yet. I want

[46:08] one individual who wrote me a member of their family actually had cancer the doctor who can

[46:14] understand why that person has cancer never never smoked the day in the life, I've been

[46:20] residence and beaconsfield for twenty years and that family is unwilling to ask the neighbours

[46:27] stop with burning and I can't believe it because I've said to the individual like you mean,

[46:33] you're placing your health at risk because you want to have good relationship with your

[46:38] family. So I think it's only for that people who would think about their neighbours and what

[46:44] they're doing to anyone? Who has his breeding in toxic with smoke. Thank you for the answer

[46:52] as long as it's coming from Beaconsfield. It's more what I was looking for compared to the

[46:57] environmental committee, but if it's coming from the residence understand. Time and other

[47:05] questions. I would like you to just look up research on with smoke and all the health in the

[47:13] effect that it has on anyone who breathes with smoke. Thank you for your questions. Thank

[47:21] you, Walter. D'autres questions? Any other questions? Alright. We're all proceed with the

[55:58] take place after the election so november at the gates of that November twenty sixth will

[56:04] be the next day of the meeting and those project will be reviewed at the council of

[56:08] meeting, because people will put in projects for all the sequence will be on the

[56:16] conseil, pour l'approbation finale de ces projets là. So no other comments about the

[56:21] projects, we just went through but so I proposing the minute at the same time. À l'unanimité

[56:32] of the traffic advisory committee meeting of september twelve twenty twenty five.

[56:37] Monsieur le Président, est-ce qu'il y a des commentaires? Oui. Merci, Monsieur le Maire. Donc,

[56:42] cette dernière réunion du comité consultatif de circulation du 12 septembre

[56:47] était la dernière réunion, évidemment, de notre mandat de quatre ans, qui se termine

[56:52] aujourd'hui avec la séance du conseil, un peu comme mon collègue l'a mentionné,

[56:56] J'aimerais prendre un moment pour remercier tous les résidents qui, au fil des

[57:01] dernières années, ont participé aux travaux du comité. Sans eux, ça serait impossible de faire

[57:07] le travail que nous avons accompli. Et tu fundamental that residence participate in

[57:11] in committee like that, because they are the eyes of the years and in fact eventually also the

[57:19] voice that we on on the track and eventually their recommendations is either

[57:26] carried or not by the council and that respect one of the last things that was achieved.

[57:33] I think that needs to be highlighted is the last story measures to mitigate trafic

[57:41] around our schools and beaconsfield boulevard that you've probably noticed in the

[57:45] last three weeks. There's a elegant elongated speedbump in front of saint Antoine. Now

[57:52] there's erased intersections near saint Rémy and another speedbump on Beaconsfield,

[57:59] Boulevard Near Christmas Park school. So I think that's a nice way to conclude the tax

[58:06] mandate for this council, I think again. Tous les membres citoyens the administration for

[58:11] their participation, the municipal petrol. WE had the chance to work with former

[58:17] Captain Oz and newly appointed Captain Dutchman. Thank you for your participation the SPVM and

[58:26] I will have it over to my colleague David Newell. Thank you also for his participation.

[58:34] Evening of thanks. I just want to thank you two for your eyes. I'm on the committee with you

[58:38] at the same time. But if you don't mind it just had that you do this regularly and I just

[58:42] want to take the opportunity to what you do regularly as that there's also a special email

[58:46] when you have traffic issues and so on you can email the committee directly so we like

[58:52] to promote that email and a regular basis. So thank you for give me a chance to do that

[58:56] again. So it's ccc at Beaconsfield dot c-a ccc at Beaconsfield that you can write

[59:02] in any kind of issue, you have with traffic in the Beaconsfield and it goes

[59:06] directly to the committee. It goes on our agenda and get reviewed the most efficient way

[59:11] of of putting in your request. WE. Yes! Thanks for the Comité de circulation du Comité des

[59:19] consultatifs de circulation. WE just go by the acronym, so often that we will not forget

[59:25] what I mean. Yeah! And just as a reminder cause where you will be up and when we get to speak

[59:31] to the public again. So also if there is issues that revolved speeding and so what you can

[59:35] actually even deal with the SPVM directly if you go with the SPVM websites there the one

[59:40] that are very good to to deal with you can ask for free surveillance. If you go on the

[59:45] website, you'll see you are very easy way pathway to find how to communicate with them as

[59:49] well as going through the committee under Martin preview for the after now at least.

[59:54] Monsieur le Président, est ce que vous allez proposer? J'hésite mais finalement oui,

[1:00:00] je vais proposer. Et puis j'aimerais. Second et j'appuie en faveur à l'unanimité.

[1:00:13] Procès-verbal de la réunion du Comité consultatif de l'environnement du 9 septembre

[1:00:20] 2025. Monsieur le Président. Alors, à notre dernière réunion, nous avons discuté quelques

[1:00:30] items qui étaient, qui sont très intéressants pour nos résidents. Premièrement,

[1:00:36] c'était le fait que nous avons passé la législation sur le chauffage à bois et le.

[1:00:46] Chauffage à bois with Smoke dans nos maisons. Et c'est, comme j'ai mentionné tout à

[1:00:52] l'heure, c'était un règlement qui est passé, surtout à Montréal le 19 avril, et les

[1:01:00] municipalités défusionnées. I also like to mention that I didn't before the level is

[1:01:06] actually passed legislation as well that takes affect in twenty twenty six and that's

[1:01:12] five hundred population and the fact that I also hear that the CMM, so that's the community

[1:01:18] for it. What is that for? Métropolitains at that point the user which represents

[1:01:28] something like two point for million people. There is actually very large interest

[1:01:34] and their part to actually ben woodburn and one of the things I heard was that even the town

[1:01:40] of saint sever, which you know for you would thing to think you know. There's there's

[1:01:45] naturally it's. How you know when everybody is burning would but there actually actually

[1:01:50] supporting that move to be in bed would not that I want to be in the point. But it's just

[1:01:58] something that I think we're seeing more and more of at the same time for our agenda was

[1:02:04] really talking about flooding and when you know and and beaconsfield, and we know that

[1:02:09] certainly with global warming that it that point where were seeing more extreme events

[1:02:16] scientists are now not calling it climate change but climate crisis and and we're starting

[1:02:22] to see those extreme events actually come and affect us in fact, just we have two and

[1:02:30] twenty twenty twenty twenty for we've had two torrential rainstorm and twenty twenty

[1:02:38] three we saw seven millimeters of rainfall and the period of twelve hours and in twenty

[1:02:46] twenty for we actually had the same amount seven millimeters of rain that fell in six hours.

[1:02:52] So obviously, it's it's not just here in Beaconsfield with the amount of water that that

[1:02:58] came down, but across virtually Montreal and and many areas that that were in undated with

[1:03:04] that kind of torrential rain. The company is certainly interested in in the city and

[1:03:10] council, having commission and independent engineering study back in september twenty twenty

[1:03:16] for following the rainstorm to basically analyze and study and recommend any changes to our

[1:03:22] storm water drainage system. So it's something that that is still in in the works, and I

[1:03:28] know that they are DJ the director general as indicated that once they received the

[1:03:34] report. They want to talk to our neighbours in city like Kirkland and and Pointe-Claire

[1:03:42] because they actually the origination of our main storm sur Storm sewers that flow into

[1:03:50] meadowbrook and also the saint James Park and into the lake actually originate and

[1:03:56] northwest sectors of Beaconsfield. So it, let's call it the area of Kirkland and and

[1:04:00] the forties on the North West side and the South East side, originate and Pointe-Claire. So

[1:04:06] the city wants to take that study to those the community because we want to share that

[1:04:12] information and and see how how much water they might be flowing into into our ar men

[1:04:20] some source and at the same time the city wants to talk to Montreal as well because there

[1:04:27] is responsible for all of the storm network storm water network across the island of

[1:04:32] Montreal, so that certainly something that coming, the city will be publishing to residence,

[1:04:38] and I'm sure everybody is gonna be interested in in understanding that that report.

[1:04:44] I hope I've got it fairly correct with all right all the other thing is the committee

[1:04:48] actually worked on its priority for twenty twenty six. There were three main ones one is the

[1:04:54] importance of maintaining the trees and tree canopy and Beaconsfield. It's interesting

[1:05:00] and you know it. If you look at community when you're driving down any street what makes the

[1:05:10] community look so much better or are saying three on the streets and I think in

[1:05:16] Beaconsfield. WE are very proud of the tree canopy, but I've been certainly there mature

[1:05:22] trees and and many have been cut and falling we want to replace those trees and that

[1:05:26] the same time trees. Also are our basically the easy answer to our global warming problems

[1:05:34] because trees and growing will actually absorb carbon, which has its carbon and that's

[1:05:42] causing global warming and to begin with it's difficult to to control, but we're looking in

[1:05:46] every little way that we can and so certainly promoting trees and our property is

[1:05:54] environmentallyfriendly and the other thing I would I would mention because flooding. This

[1:05:58] is also an issue. The residents are concerned about in Beaconsfield and I've tried

[1:06:02] that one tree Hill actually absorbs for the fifty thousands of water a year or thirty-five

[1:06:10] were forty-five thousands leaders so for residence who complaint about having soggy

[1:06:16] loans or what have you may be the answer is another tree with the city also offers.

[1:06:24] Somebody's three programs and so that point. Residence can interested and having a tree

[1:06:32] can actually get it interesting and there's a variety of of trees that are being offered on

[1:06:40] the program. So that's been available in the past. That's it will be up to the next

[1:06:46] council to budget for it, but it's certainly a good initiative and I would say that

[1:06:50] for the two twenty twenty five roughly well exactly two hundred for the seven trees

[1:06:56] have been planted under that program. So I could use to the people who who have volunteers

[1:07:02] to get it three seconds priority is actually to promote biodiversity gardens to benefit

[1:07:10] bees and butterfly's pollinator and actually plant life and and other animals life and twenty

[1:07:16] twenty six. The city has a plant to plant a biodiversity gardens and in Royal Park, and

[1:07:26] that's something that's going to act as a great example to all residence of how they can

[1:07:30] emulate what the plant will be chosen for that that park in their own backyard or our side

[1:07:38] yard and it doesn't have to be big. It can be just very effective just be two to be two

[1:07:46] leaders gardens, but it's a great way. The real park will be to actually promote

[1:07:54] biodiversity gardens, There's no question with global warming and climate crisis. WE have to

[1:08:00] do things that you know are important bit by bit to the basically slice of our planet

[1:08:08] and the last priority is basically to promote environmentallyfriendly

[1:08:14] friendly way of living and lifestyle and certainly the committee advocates education

[1:08:22] and communications to try to you know and for people of what they should could be

[1:08:26] considering doing the committee also wants to identify leaders ambassadors and and and

[1:08:32] residents who who actually leave a very environmental environmental quality of life

[1:08:40] and we're open as well that you know the garden itself at the real park will be an

[1:08:46] inspiration to people I do want to thank my committee members as well for their engagement

[1:08:52] and interest and the education, and I should also give a special thanks to the council.

[1:08:58] I don't think I thank you and my earlier remarks. It's been a pleasure working with all of

[1:09:02] you and so I'll certainly miss you, you know. But anyway, I can reach out to you here, come

[1:09:08] here and as well. So thanks again and are you in your mind and I thank you. Mr. I. I Sir

[1:10:46] is completed as well as the blinders annex renovations so with the gazebo and made the

[1:10:56] area much more accessible so that folks of all mobility ability can get out there and

[1:11:04] enjoy it. So this area is open to residence and club association to reserve. So it's

[1:11:12] a extended space for all. Two more points one being that we also finished putting en

[1:11:20] acrylic coating on that heights park. So this is part of it projects to roll out and some

[1:11:26] of our timesquare. To improve its playability and so we'll see what the what the feedback

[1:13:31] l'unanimité approbation du plan de gestion des actifs en eau PGA daté du 16 septembre 2025,

[1:13:40] Propose. À l'unanimité. Mayor's Report on the decision made by the Agglomeration Council at

[1:13:53] its meeting of September Twenty-fifth twenty twenty five. As I said before Carolyn

[1:14:03] Markham, did have a question in the STM and more rows and to the agglomeration. Madame

[1:14:13] Mazerolle, who is part of the executive committee? Give her and answer is totally

[1:14:24] unsatisfactory as an answer and I tried to intervene to get. Corrected the answer that she

[1:14:34] she was given by that was given to her. I was not giving the. Right to to to speak. So I

[1:14:46] walked out, I walked out of my last meeting at the agglomerations. I don't need to

[1:14:53] tell you that the agglomeration as far as I'm concerned to think it is and abuse of power

[1:15:00] on the power of Montreal and I will certainly continue to be totally against the way, the

[1:15:10] agglomeration operating all we do is approve millions of dollars of expenses. Some of

[1:15:21] them are questionable when it when it comes to the splits between the the the

[1:15:31] municipalities and Montreal. WE tried to check it as much as we can we get ensure that are not

[1:15:43] always satisfactory. So we just end up spending millions de dollars and since the

[1:15:51] municipalities have minority vote we have no choice but to accept what is on the agenda,

[1:16:02] so? That's my last meeting at the agglomération. Thank God, However is going, However is

[1:16:10] going to replace my good luck. And you really feel good George. WE. Oui, merci Monsieur le

[1:24:10] in the financial Turmoil. We're not everybody relax. Okay. Our city finance, our healthy, okay,

[1:24:18] Our city is incredibly well managed financially. And I'm not sure who was that was it?

[1:24:23] Maybe Carolyn that said you know the next council and the next maire have to have a

[1:24:28] strong financial achievements. Yep, Spot on. Okay. So he was ever sitting there and the rest

[1:24:34] of the fox sitting here, of course. Our finance are important. Now do we have

[1:24:40] challenges and do we have questions is coming up of course. WE do you know, of

[1:24:48] course. WE do the cost of running. This show called Beaconsfield is not going down.

[1:24:54] Okay, It's not going down. It's say it to the Mike Cost of running. Beaconsfield is going

[1:24:58] up folks. Just that's all except that, but that's not something to be afraid about

[1:25:04] and we do have a big infrastructure project. There's a lot of construction happening

[1:25:09] down at the park over there. If you guys have a notice, we cut a whole right into the fence

[1:25:14] and there's a new stuff going in and we have to build our rec center. This stuff is going to

[1:25:19] cost money folks. That's okay. That's not something to be scared about that something to

[1:25:25] embrace and come up with the financial solutions that works and respect taxpayers ability

[1:25:30] to pay. Hi hi, I'm gonna let everybody know when secrets if we don't do it next year. It's

[1:25:36] gonna cost more next year right and if we don't do it next year. It's gonna cost more to the

[1:25:44] point where we won't be able to do it because it all cost too much, then you're losing the

[1:25:48] services and that's the decision that council needs to embrace and have the courage to

[1:25:54] move forward with which I like to think we've been courage is over the last few years and

[1:26:00] we've got a lot done and I can only hope that the next four years. Will continue and Mr

[1:26:06] Boileau. Thank you and your team. OK? Thanks all out, George. Sorry, I took a little

[1:26:15] bit more time now, I don't think thank you. Thank you nightmare before. Go ahead with.

[1:26:24] What you want to see something. Not right. Not only if you're in the meeting. Okay. By the

[1:26:32] closing of the meeting will be the last official Duty of Roger or not so first, we have one

[1:26:40] more items. That's not on the agenda. Madame Greffier, si vous permettez. So George, this

[1:26:46] is your last council meeting. I hope it's been a while. WE usually don't think each other

[1:26:52] this much. Everybody was stunning in for the first time. It's more. It's very

[1:26:55] exceptional. I have more days to think about the city here and this environment. This is

[1:27:00] your your last so to speak. So it's at the announcement, Mister Bear. Roger. So from

[1:27:09] there with people don't know where is the kind of glorified name for somebody, who would

[1:27:14] have anything ever happen to george you, I'll take turns being that where we would

[1:27:17] replace the bears. So I guess in this case. I'm sure of acting when I'm saying. I want

[1:27:23] to see you next WE have one more taste for you tonight is very important one probably one

[1:27:27] of the most important ones tonight and and have to be around all of council with us

[1:27:32] tonight is well, but to do this task. WE can't see here. WE are going to actually have to go

[1:27:37] and stand in front. WE have to get our break and stand in front of our our bench. So if

[1:27:42] everybody could well you can learn on the back, but if we could have everybody could join

[1:27:48] in the front. I think that would be back all of you to go. Yeah, we're going to shake

[1:27:53] things up a little tonight do something different. Félicitations, Georges. C'était

[1:28:03] très différent. Parce que là, je n'en suis pas là. Je parle bien. C'est pas bon. So maybe

[1:28:17] you guys and just will make a nice little vif camera and everybody can see us so so I'm

[1:28:23] I don't ever speak on behalf of all of council. But I'm just gonna say a few words. I think

[1:28:29] that represents a lot of people that are around us tonight here and but I have one question

[1:28:35] before I say anything and I just wanted to maybe it's almost your last chance, but on

[1:28:38] camera. Here is your last chance. Will you be running for mer and twenty in the next

[1:28:44] election. Now you haven't changed your mind. Non, non, alright, so we heard it here.

[1:28:48] First first boys and girls. Were first of all that one task. Thank you for accepting. But we

[1:28:54] know what we want to do next is certainly a story of honor and celebrate your accomplishments

[1:29:00] over the past twelve years of mentioned a few tonight. I'm not gonna lost them all. That's

[1:29:06] for sure. But I think the obvious one is that you've been our made for twelve years. It's

[1:29:10] three turns and I'm not sure if people if you look back over the years, but we haven't had

[1:29:16] that and beaconsfield and some time so this is quite a milestone if you have to go

[1:29:20] back to the past. The night is over the years ago to have a mère. It's like our city for

[1:29:26] three years now, we'll be right back in the day. Who was created the back in that era,

[1:29:32] so you're sitting in good company. I would say for having injured and. Survive even in

[1:29:38] the way, but but done that so well over the past twelve years so in terms of the month of

[1:29:44] lifted a lot of the night and we will be here for another cup of our if we start going

[1:29:50] through those so I'm gonna give it and actually what we would like to do on behalf of council.

[1:29:54] Here is also basically. Thank you for all those years of service and working with us

[1:30:00] throughout the years some of us been here for for years and years twelve years right here

[1:30:06] for thirty-five. WE look pretty good Rodgers and and other countless who were not here

[1:30:12] tonight. They have been working with George. Also should be taking and consideration for

[1:30:18] this as well. So we have we appreciate all the up and down and we agreed to disagree and a

[1:30:24] lot of things over the years. But I think we've done that so professionally over the years.

[1:30:30] That's made it. It's a pleasure for all of us to work with you and your leadership that way,

[1:30:34] but I think probably most importantly of all is that with you leading us through all of

[1:30:38] that is we all worked together in our different ways to ultimately continues to make

[1:30:42] beaconsfield one of the best things that we can leave in, so that's the ultimate goal that

[1:30:48] we try to achieve. So we thank you for your leadership and gathering gathering us all

[1:30:52] around to do that and the ongoing basis the number one, so the other thing was actually

[1:30:58] great. Kelly said this really well. At recent events where you were honored and received

[1:31:06] National assembly service award. I believe it that's the title for it, but it's a very

[1:31:10] prestigious award that was given and so we also like to thank your family alone here

[1:31:16] tonight. But I know there's other member of your family as well not here tonight for this.

[1:31:22] So well, I thought I had it that Greg Kelly, that is that you? Your family. Let us you

[1:31:28] for twelve twelve years. But now it's time to give him back, so so so. So thank you for that

[1:31:38] and thank you and the family for basically lending us George for these two years. The other

[1:31:44] thing to is why not sure what you have planned for your retirement, but pretty well.

[1:31:50] Welcome back anytime. The only issues you're going to have as you are. You won't have your

[1:31:54] fob. So it's gonna be kind of hard to get into the building, so with that in mind. WE will

[1:31:58] work at the present you something. It's a secret here, but basically, we like the

[1:32:04] present George Burrell our mere for the past twelve years in the city of Beaconsfield. So

[1:32:11] this. This is just to say this something this. Thank you. So so George. This is a symbol of

[1:32:22] our appreciation our respect and our thanks for everything. You've done for for us and for

[1:32:28] Beaconsfield and everybody tuning in and we'll tuning eventually so thank you for

[1:32:32] everything. Now Alan throws me out of the house. I can come to the city all with the way you

[1:32:40] have the key there. It's a good time. But I'm sure so thank you. Thank you again, George. It's a

[1:32:50] pleasure to work with for twelve years with different counselor. Roger was the only

[1:32:58] one that was here from the beginning, but it was a real pleasure, we had differences on

[1:33:08] certaines things but we always managed to get consensus and that's important and that you

[1:33:16] used to go around the table and saying. OK? What do you think? What do you think? What do you

[1:33:22] think and we have consensus, so? It was a pleasure. This city is a wonderful city and. You know

[1:33:33] I'm very happy to make the contributions that we are going to make to the cultural center.
