00:00:38,738 --> 00:00:41,441
- C'est une chambre pleine! It's

2
00:00:41,441 --> 00:00:43,343
nice to see everybody here.

3
00:00:43,343 --> 00:00:44,344
Merci, merci tout le! Monde à la

4
00:00:44,344 --> 00:00:47,347
séance du conseil du cette

5
00:00:47,347 --> 00:00:49,382
février dernier, nous avons

6
00:00:49,382 --> 00:00:51,384
rendu un hommage à monsieur

7
00:00:51,384 --> 00:00:53,386
Gregory bien lobby, très

8
00:00:53,386 --> 00:00:55,355
impliquée... impliqué, il est

9
00:00:55,355 --> 00:00:57,357
décédé le 16 janvier.

10
00:00:57,357 --> 00:00:59,325
Malheureusement, une erreur

11
00:00:59,325 --> 00:01:02,000
s'est glissée dans le texte

12
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,000
concernant sa ville de

13
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
résidence. Il a été mentionné

14
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
qu'il était un résidant de

15
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Dorval alors que monsieur

16
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Bielby était un grand bénévole,

17
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,000
mais également un résident de la

18
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Ville de Pointe-Claire. Au nom

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
de la ville, je tiens à

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,000
présenter des excuses à sa

21
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
famille et ses amis pour cette

22
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
erreur et leur souhaiter à

23
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,000
nouveau toutes mes sympathies

24
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
At the very seventh council

25
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000
meeting the pay tribute to Mr.

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Gregory -- and passed away on

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,000
January 16th. Unfortunately, an

28
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
error was made in the text

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
regarding his city's residents.

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,000
It was mentioned he was a

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
resident of Dorval, whereas he

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,000
was a great volunteer and, in

33
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
fact, a resident of the city of

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Pointe-Claire. On behalf of the

35
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
city I would like to apologize

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
to his family and friends for

37
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,000
this error and offer them,

38
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
again, our deepest condolences.

39
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,000
La rue Columbus... toujours à la

40
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
séance du conseil du 7 février

41
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
dernier, j'ai mentionné que nous

42
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,000
avions eu une demande en

43
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,000
novembre 2022 pour modifier le

44
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
nom de la rue Columbus à

45
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Pointe-Claire, et que selon un

46
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,000
document que nous avions en

47
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000
même, le nom de la rue était à

48
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
la mémoire de Christophe Colomb.

49
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Aujourd'hui, je dois rectifier,

50
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
encore une fois, ces propos:

51
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
l'équipe des archives a

52
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000
poursuivi ses recherches et nous

53
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,000
ont appris que dans l'ensemble

54
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
des publications officielles

55
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,000
incluant la correspondance entre

56
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,000
la Ville de Pointe-Claire et la

57
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Commission de type autonomie du

58
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Québec, il n'y a aucune

59
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
toponymie, pardon, il n'y a

60
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,000
aucune information permettant

61
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
d'établir un lien entre l'avenue

62
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Columbus et la mémoire de

63
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Christophe-Colomb.

64
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Still, at the council meeting of

65
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,000
February 7th, I mentioned we had

66
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000
had a request in November, 2022,

67
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,000
to change the name of Columbus

68
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Street in Pointe-Claire, and

69
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,000
that according to a document we

70
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
had in hand, the name of the

71
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000
street was in memory of

72
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Christopher Columbus. Today, I

73
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000
must correct this statement. The

74
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
archives team has continued its

75
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,000
research and informs us that, in

76
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
all the official correspondence

77
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,000
-- and the commission de

78
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
toponymie de Québec -- memory of

79
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Christopher Columbus.

80

Doiyonne -- for safety and

240
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000
security during our drop off in

241
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
the morning -- it's been pretty

242
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
hectic and there's a lot of

243
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
traffic. And they took the

244
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
initiative to start looking into

245
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
this and have been working on

246
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
this project. And before I pass

247
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000
it along to them I have to thank

248
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000

Tanguay, and Mr. reshod, who,

251
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000
when we started meeting, they

252
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000
took the time to meet with me,

253
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000
and had been present at the

254
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000
school to really help us and

255
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,000
support us. So, I can't thank

256
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
them enough. So thank you. I

257
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,000
have Yves with me, Samantha,

258
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000

259
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
are going to speak to a bit

260
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,000
about our project.

261
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:20,000
>> Dear Pointe-Claire City

262
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Councillors -- the Pointe-Claire

263
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,000
City councillors and Mr. Mayor.

264
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Thank you for having us here

265
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,000
this evening. The reason we

266
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,000
wanted to do this project is

267
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,000
because we found that there was

268
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,000
a lot of traffic around the

269
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
school. And it wasn't always

270
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000
safe for staff and students. We

271
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000
felt it was very important to

272
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,000
try to find ways to improve the

273
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,000
safety around our school.

274
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,000
>> The seven classes of

275
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,000
secondary to -- working on this

276
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,000
for the last few months. In

277
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,000
groups of two, we had to come up

278
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
with some solutions to help fix

279
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,000
these problems. We had students

280
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000
stand outside in the morning to

281
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,000
monitor and record how many

282
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,000
roles were being broken. For

283
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,000
example, jaywalking, or not

284
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000
stopping in the right areas was

285
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,000
one of the most dangerous ones

286
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000
and we had to prioritize the

287
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
biggest problems.

288
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,000
>> Some of the ideas that we

289
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,000
came up with are an extra cross

290
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000
walk, flashing crosswalk button,

291
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,000
installation of a sidewalk on

292
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,000
the west side of broad view,

293
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
extra traffic signs, adding a

294
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,000
crossing guard, just to name a

295
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,000
few. The document that will be

296
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,000
submitted lists all of our

297
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,000
ideas.

298
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,000
>> We really learned a lot

299
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
working on this project, since

300
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,000
it affects the entire school

301
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,000
population. And it allowed us to

302
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,000
participate directly in this

303
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000
process to make a difference at

304
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,000
our school. Again, we thank you

305
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,000
for your time and consideration

306
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
this evening and hope that you

307
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000
will think about some of our

308
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,000
ideas to make it safer around

309
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,000
St. Thomas High School. Merci

310
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,000
[Applause]

311
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,000

315
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,000

>> I'm Councillor Kelly

318

extraordinary. The snow drops

363
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000
were falling, the trucks were

364
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,000
picking it up before it hit the

365
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,000

381
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000
>> Can you hear me okay?

382
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,000
>> Yap.

383
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,000
>> Okay. Good evening -- spoke

384
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
to Councillor Tara Stainforth --

385
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,000
condos. Instead of being

386
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,000
installed a couple of stories

387
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,000
high and shining down onto the

388
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,000
parking lot, these were

389
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
installed low to the ground. In

390
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000
trying to cross the parking lot

391
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,000
and into the houses on calls

392
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,000
them at night -- these lights

393
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,000
are incredibly bright to the

394
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
point where the Black help lines

395
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000
and curtains that I installed

396
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
are basically insufficient. The

397
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000
light comes into the sides and

398
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,000
basically illuminates my

399
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,000
bedroom. It also shines in the

400
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,000
bathroom in the back of my

401
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,000
house, lighting up the top

402
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000
floor. I'm someone who has small

403
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000
children. And all of us are

404
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,000
being affected by poor quality

405
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,000
of sleep because of this

406
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,000
lighting situation. We also have

407
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
seniors on our street who had

408
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
the same issue. They are not

409
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000
getting the sleep they need as

410
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
well. According to the city's

411
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,000
bylaw, and I quote, the

412
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
intensity of a brightness of

413
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000
parking lot lighting shell at no

414
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,000
time create a nuisance for the

415
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,000
neighbouring properties. This is

416
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000
bylaw -- chapter seven, 7.5.

417
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,000
We've spoken to Public Security.

418
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000
But they feel there is nothing

419
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000
to be done for the following

420
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,000
reasons. The first is that the

421
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,000
distance of the light fixture

422
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,000
from our house is. But the bylaw

423
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000
makes no mission mention of

424
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
distance. And only mentioned the

425
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,000
intensity or brightness, which

426
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,000
is the problem. And second,

427
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
public security was told by the

428
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,000
condo board that they reduce the

429
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,000
brightness of the light. However

430
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000
the residents of Austin have not

431
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,020
seen a difference. But public

432
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:02,020
security believes that, because

433
00:17:02,020 --> 00:17:06,020
they were told that by the condo

434
00:17:06,020 --> 00:17:07,020
board that they made an effort

435
00:17:07,020 --> 00:17:10,020
-- they feel that they acted in

436
00:17:10,020 --> 00:17:11,020
good faith -- and apparently

437
00:17:11,020 --> 00:17:13,020
that's enough to close the case.

438
00:17:15,020 --> 00:17:17,020
But if reality, nothing has been

439
00:17:17,020 --> 00:17:22,020
done to help us. Any effort to

440
00:17:22,020 --> 00:17:24,020
resolve this has been an abject

441
00:17:24,020 --> 00:17:28,020
failure. So, as an Austin

442
00:17:28,020 --> 00:17:31,020
resident this is just the latest

443
00:17:31,020 --> 00:17:32,020
incident asking the City for

444
00:17:32,020 --> 00:17:35,020
assistance and being -- so, when

445
00:17:35,020 --> 00:17:37,020
the Sotramont project began, we

446
00:17:37,020 --> 00:17:39,020
assured our privacy would not be

447
00:17:39,020 --> 00:17:42,020
affected. Our privacy is now

448
00:17:42,020 --> 00:17:45,020
nonexistent. -- proper foliage

449
00:17:45,020 --> 00:17:46,020
between Sotramont properties and

450
00:17:46,020 --> 00:17:48,020
our homes. And now with the

451
00:17:48,020 --> 00:17:49,020
installation of the one west

452
00:17:49,020 --> 00:17:50,020
condos and the people who can

453
00:17:50,020 --> 00:17:52,020
stare at directly into our

454
00:17:52,020 --> 00:17:53,020
bedroom windows -- we have a

455
00:17:53,020 --> 00:17:55,020
ditch that is not only being

456
00:17:55,020 --> 00:17:56,020
drowned from mosquitoes, by that

457
00:17:56,020 --> 00:17:58,020
flooded last, rain causing

458
00:17:58,020 --> 00:18:00,080
significant damage to your

459
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,080
residents home. We asked for

460
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,080
study to be done to ensure this

461
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,080
wouldn't happen again. But the

462
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,080
city denied that. And because --

463
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,080
last week -- stated that there's

464
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,080
an increased chance of flooding

465
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,080
this spring due to the amount of

466
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,080
snow that's on the ground. As

467
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,080
you can, legends causing anxiety

468
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,080
for residents, which is --

469
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,080
animosity towards the city. So,

470
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,080
now we have this lighting

471
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,080
situation. But really, that's

472
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,080
just the latest problem. So, my

473
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,080
first question tonight is, why

474
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,080
won't the City respect its own

475
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,080
bylaw in regards to the light

476
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,080
that is shining directly into

477
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,080
our houses?

478
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,080
>> Well, this is all news to me,

479
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,080
Mister Atkinson, and as you

480
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,080
know, I feel for the citizens of

481
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,080
Austin big-time. And that can be

482
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,080
easily looked into. Can you give

483
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,080
photographs or a filament or

484
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,080
show the effect of the lighting?

485
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,080
So that people don't have to go

486
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,080
tonight? Can you give us

487
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,080
evidence or show visually?

488
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:57,080
>> --

489
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,040
>> Okay.

490
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,040
>> As you see, our -- at

491
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,040
different times --

492
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,040
>> That's what I --

493
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,040
>> -- appear less bright.

494
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,040
>> Okay. So, when it's at its

495
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,040
worst, can you take a picture?

496
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,040
So that we can --

497
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,040
>> It's basically like somebody

498
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,040
parking their car in front of my

499
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,040
house and turning their rights

500
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,040
on and turning shining them into

501
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,040
my house.

502
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,040
>> Well, lightning is something

503
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,040
that can be solved. -- I've

504
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,040
always felt for you guys. I feel

505
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,040
it is something that we should

506
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,040
be able to look into and it's an

507
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,040
easier solution of a lot of the

508
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,040
impediments that you guys are up

509
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,040
against. I don't see any reason

510
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,040
why we can't look into it and

511
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,040
tried and better it. I see no

512
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,040
reason for that. But

513
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,040
>> We have tried. Just for the

514
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,040
record, we have tried, we have

515
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,040
spoken to Councillor Stainforth.

516
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,040
I spoke to Public Security. But

517
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,040
it's like nothing is getting

518
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,040
resolved and we are still stuck

519
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,040
in this same situation.

520
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,040
>> Okay.

521
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,040
>> May I speak?

522
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,000
>> Yes.

523
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
>> We've been in touch with the

524
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
condo association. And they had

525
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000
an electrician come in and make

526
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000
alterations to the lights.

527
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Unfortunately, as is Mr. Tongaue

528
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
explained -- essentially told us

529
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
they will bring us to court. And

530
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000
because the distance doesn't

531
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,000
fall within immediate neighbours

532
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,000
and all of the immediate

533
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,000
neighbours are happy with the

534
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,000
lighting situation as is, so we

535
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,000
have tried to negotiate with

536
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
them in order to try and find a

537
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
solution for everybody rather

538
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000
than play hardball and issue

539
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000
tickets. We have been working

540
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000
with them to reduce the impact

541
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,000
of the lighting on those

542
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,000
neighbours on -- and with hope

543
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,000
that that would help at the

544
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,000
situation.

545
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,000
>> It hasn't. And by your

546
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000
reasoning, I could set up lights

547
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000
on top of my house and shined

548
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,060
them at the condo building at a

549
00:21:00,060 --> 00:21:02,060
vacant -- and just say, I'm too

550
00:21:02,060 --> 00:21:03,060
far away, you can't do anything

551
00:21:03,060 --> 00:21:04,060
about it. And I don't think

552
00:21:04,060 --> 00:21:08,060
that's what we should be here

553
00:21:08,060 --> 00:21:10,060
for -- here for.

554
00:21:10,060 --> 00:21:11,060
>> No, which is why we've been

555
00:21:11,060 --> 00:21:12,060
in communication with him on

556
00:21:12,060 --> 00:21:13,060
several occasions and we've been

557
00:21:13,060 --> 00:21:14,060
sending our inspectors by to

558
00:21:14,060 --> 00:21:17,060
check the lighting.

559
00:21:17,060 --> 00:21:19,060
That's where the situation is at

560
00:21:19,060 --> 00:21:22,060
this point in time. If the mayor

561
00:21:22,060 --> 00:21:24,060
has better ideas to collaborate

562
00:21:24,060 --> 00:21:28,060
with the inspector, with

563
00:21:29,060 --> 00:21:30,060
inspector Tongaue, then for sure

564
00:21:30,060 --> 00:21:33,060
we are open to doing whatever we

565
00:21:33,060 --> 00:21:35,060
can to resolve the issue. That

566
00:21:35,060 --> 00:21:37,060
is our goal. I saw the lights. I

567
00:21:37,060 --> 00:21:38,060
have been on Austin. So I know

568
00:21:38,060 --> 00:21:40,060
that they are quite bright. Our

569
00:21:40,060 --> 00:21:43,060
goal has been to resolve --

570
00:21:43,060 --> 00:21:45,060
>> I have offered, anyone, if

571
00:21:45,060 --> 00:21:46,060
they want to come to my house

572
00:21:46,060 --> 00:21:49,060
and I vacancy with the situation

573
00:21:49,060 --> 00:21:50,060
looks at night.

574
00:21:50,060 --> 00:21:52,060
>> I was just going to suggest

575
00:21:52,060 --> 00:21:54,060
that. I will do that. I will do

576
00:21:54,060 --> 00:21:57,060
that, Mr. Atkinson. I will come

577
00:21:57,060 --> 00:21:59,060
by and look. I also don't think

578
00:21:59,060 --> 00:22:00,020
that litigation should prevent

579
00:22:00,020 --> 00:22:01,020
someone from doing the right

580
00:22:01,020 --> 00:22:02,020
thing. -- I will come

581
00:22:02,020 --> 00:22:04,020
personally.

582
00:22:04,020 --> 00:22:05,020
>> Thanks.

583
00:22:05,020 --> 00:22:07,020
>> So, my second question

584
00:22:07,020 --> 00:22:08,020
tonight. For the past couple of

585
00:22:08,020 --> 00:22:10,020
months, councillors have been --

586
00:22:10,020 --> 00:22:13,020
for the Fairview product to move

587
00:22:13,020 --> 00:22:14,020
forward. But again, they have

588
00:22:14,020 --> 00:22:17,020
not done anything to fix the

589
00:22:17,020 --> 00:22:19,020
problems that have created for

590
00:22:19,020 --> 00:22:21,020
residents on Austin, given that

591
00:22:21,020 --> 00:22:24,020
the project done by Sotramont

592
00:22:24,020 --> 00:22:26,020
and one west -- so, this miss,

593
00:22:26,020 --> 00:22:27,020
ironically started with the

594
00:22:27,020 --> 00:22:28,020
public consultation between

595
00:22:28,020 --> 00:22:30,020
developers, the city and Austin

596
00:22:30,020 --> 00:22:33,020
residents. So, in 2019, the City

597
00:22:33,020 --> 00:22:34,020
claimed to be understanding of

598
00:22:34,020 --> 00:22:36,020
our concerns. So, they set up a

599
00:22:36,020 --> 00:22:38,020
consultation. Because they said

600
00:22:38,020 --> 00:22:40,020
they wanted the integration of

601
00:22:40,020 --> 00:22:42,020
the Sotramont project to

602
00:22:42,020 --> 00:22:43,020
basically accommodate all

603
00:22:43,020 --> 00:22:45,020
parties. And when we showed up

604
00:22:45,020 --> 00:22:47,020
for the meeting, city officials

605
00:22:47,020 --> 00:22:48,020
told us that they weren't

606
00:22:48,020 --> 00:22:49,020
getting involved. They basically

607
00:22:49,020 --> 00:22:51,020
said, you can plead your case to

608
00:22:51,020 --> 00:22:52,020
the developer and see what

609
00:22:52,020 --> 00:22:54,020
happens. And what happened was,

610
00:22:54,020 --> 00:22:56,020
the developer, essentially,

611
00:22:56,020 --> 00:22:57,020
ignored our concerns. And the

612
00:22:57,020 --> 00:23:00,080
City turned their backs on us.

613
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,080
We asked for contingency plans

614
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,080
in case things went awry with

615
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,080
the project. And the city said

616
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,080
they'd prefer to wait and see

617
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,080
what happened. So, when things

618
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,080
went wrong, instead of trying to

619
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,080
remedy the issues, they ignored

620
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,080
us and eventually just started

621
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,080
lay bling us as complainers. So,

622
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,080
given our experience, we feel

623
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,080
that there is no reason to

624
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,080
believe that the current public

625
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,080
consultations won't roll out the

626
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,080
same way. The fact that you

627
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,080
chose a room before you knew how

628
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,080
many people plan to attend and

629
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,080
the fact that discussing Mu2 is

630
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,080
off the table is a clear

631
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,080
indication that you are

632
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,080
intending to use the same tactic

633
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,080
that was used on us in 2019.

634
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,080
When people point the finger at

635
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,080
you later on, you will say, we

636
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,080
held a meeting, we did a

637
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,080
consultation. And the

638
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,080
expression, if only once, shame

639
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,080
on me -- that's where I am at

640
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,080
right now. It all feels like a

641
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,080
sham. So, I don't classify

642
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,080
myself as pro or anti

643
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,080
development. But if the city is

644
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,080
unable to fix the situation that

645
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,040
we face on Austin, you have no

646
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,040
business even considering a

647
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,040
project the size of Cadillac

648
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,040
Fairview. Because when issues

649
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,040
that affect residents arrive as,

650
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,040
you simply don't have the

651
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,040
capacity, competency or

652
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,040
willingness to resolve them. And

653
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,040
if you feel that I'm incorrect,

654
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,040
prove me wrong and fix the

655
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,040
issues affecting Austin

656
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,040
residents.

657
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,040
-- quality of life the same way

658
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,040
it was prior to the installation

659
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,040
of the Sotramont and one west

660
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,040
projects. Both the Mayor and

661
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,040
Councillor Stainforth who

662
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,040
campaigned on a street during

663
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,040
the election and said something

664
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,040
had to be done about the

665
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,040
situation. So a year and a half

666
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,040
later all we are hearing is,

667
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,040
it's complicated, we are in a

668
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,040
state of transition, because

669
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,040
Robert Weemaes left, you tell us

670
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,040
that there's ongoing

671
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,040
negotiations between Sotramont

672
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,040
and the city, but no one is

673
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,040
providing us any clarity about

674
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,040
what's going on. These

675
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,040
negotiations are going to impact

676
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,040
the people who live adjacent to

677
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,040
this projects. The latest -- one

678
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,040
of the latest problems on the

679
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,000
list is the ditch, which you

680
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,000
can't talk about, because you

681
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,000
are being sued. It is municipal

682
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,000
inertia at its worst. It is all

683
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:13,000
talk and no action. So, my

684
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,000
second question tonight, is,

685
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,000
what's the city's plan to

686
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,000
resolve the issues that the

687
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,000
residents on Austin are facing,

688
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000
given the construction of the

689
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Greenwich and 1 West projects?

690
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
-- adjacent to them.

691
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
>> It's a tough question for me.

692
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Because I understand where you

693
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000
are coming from, 100%. Had I had

694
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,000
my druthers -- I'm not a big

695
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,000
fan, as you know, of that

696
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,000
project, and the consequences of

697
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,000
it. And I thank you for bringing

698
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,000
them up and making them apparent

699
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,000
to everybody else in

700
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Pointe-Claire who does not

701
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,000
really realize what happened in

702
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Austin as a result of that

703
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000
project. There is litigation

704
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,000
involved, so I can't speak

705
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,000
specifically to what we are

706
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,000
going to do. I can tell you

707
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:04,060
personally that I really take

708
00:26:04,060 --> 00:26:06,060
seriously your comments on

709
00:26:06,060 --> 00:26:08,060
consultation. And I agree with

710
00:26:08,060 --> 00:26:11,060
you on that. And picking the

711
00:26:11,060 --> 00:26:13,060
room and the size -- there are

712
00:26:13,060 --> 00:26:14,060
people that aren't getting into

713
00:26:14,060 --> 00:26:16,060
it and haven't been allowed to

714
00:26:16,060 --> 00:26:17,060
participate because we don't

715
00:26:17,060 --> 00:26:18,060
have enough accommodation. That

716
00:26:18,060 --> 00:26:19,060
shouldn't be happening. We

717
00:26:19,060 --> 00:26:20,060
should let everybody -- my

718
00:26:20,060 --> 00:26:22,060
feeling is we should let

719
00:26:22,060 --> 00:26:23,060
everybody talk and let everybody

720
00:26:23,060 --> 00:26:25,060
speak. That would be my hope.

721
00:26:25,060 --> 00:26:27,060
And to make it a fair and

722
00:26:27,060 --> 00:26:28,060
effective process, that's the

723
00:26:28,060 --> 00:26:30,060
whole point of this exercise.

724
00:26:30,060 --> 00:26:34,060
And if it isn't, I hope that the

725
00:26:34,060 --> 00:26:36,060
citizens will speak up about if

726
00:26:36,060 --> 00:26:38,060
the process is not just, if it

727
00:26:38,060 --> 00:26:40,060
is feared in a certain way and

728
00:26:40,060 --> 00:26:41,060
harnessed and marshalled or

729
00:26:41,060 --> 00:26:43,060
coerced, I would hope the

730
00:26:43,060 --> 00:26:45,060
citizens would give us feedback

731
00:26:45,060 --> 00:26:46,060
to suggest that that is the

732
00:26:46,060 --> 00:26:47,060
case.

733
00:26:47,060 --> 00:26:48,060
>> I mean, on social media,

734
00:26:48,060 --> 00:26:49,060
people have already started

735
00:26:49,060 --> 00:26:50,060
saying that it feels like a bait

736
00:26:50,060 --> 00:26:53,060
and switch.

737
00:26:53,060 --> 00:26:55,060
>> Well, we have to let it

738
00:26:55,060 --> 00:26:58,060
happen first. We can't -- you

739
00:26:58,060 --> 00:27:00,020
know, we can't claim it's

740
00:27:00,020 --> 00:27:01,020
something before it's happened.

741
00:27:01,020 --> 00:27:03,020
But I understand your concerns.

742
00:27:03,020 --> 00:27:06,020
I understand what happened in

743
00:27:06,020 --> 00:27:07,020
that project. And that project

744
00:27:07,020 --> 00:27:09,020
should be held as a beacon of

745
00:27:09,020 --> 00:27:10,020
light to everybody with

746
00:27:10,020 --> 00:27:13,020
development going forward. And I

747
00:27:13,020 --> 00:27:14,020
feel that Pointe-Claire -- not

748
00:27:14,020 --> 00:27:16,020
enough of Pointe-Claire truly

749
00:27:16,020 --> 00:27:17,020
understands the consequences of

750
00:27:17,020 --> 00:27:18,020
that development. I agree with

751
00:27:18,020 --> 00:27:20,020
you, 100%, on that.

752
00:27:20,020 --> 00:27:21,020
>> But again, why can't we do

753
00:27:21,020 --> 00:27:23,020
something to fix this situation

754
00:27:23,020 --> 00:27:24,020
before moving forward? We are

755
00:27:24,020 --> 00:27:25,020
always looking to the next

756
00:27:25,020 --> 00:27:29,020
project. We are not fixing what

757
00:27:29,020 --> 00:27:31,020
was, essentially, destroyed.

758
00:27:31,020 --> 00:27:35,020
>> We will see this spring. We

759
00:27:35,020 --> 00:27:36,020
will know the truth is spring as

760
00:27:36,020 --> 00:27:39,020
to how much fixing is required.

761
00:27:39,020 --> 00:27:42,020
Basically, the city was saved by

762
00:27:42,020 --> 00:27:43,020
Pointe-Claire volunteer rescue

763
00:27:43,020 --> 00:27:45,020
last spring, who did a superb

764
00:27:45,020 --> 00:27:47,020
job and kept pumps going nonstop

765
00:27:47,020 --> 00:27:50,020
through the entire flooding

766
00:27:50,020 --> 00:27:52,020
process. And people don't

767
00:27:52,020 --> 00:27:54,020
realize how dangerous that was

768
00:27:54,020 --> 00:27:56,020
for the city, since citizens of

769
00:27:56,020 --> 00:27:58,020
Austin. -- and the equipment

770
00:27:58,020 --> 00:27:59,020
they had and they pumping up

771
00:27:59,020 --> 00:28:02,080
when and they have. And they

772
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,080
saved a disaster and it's not

773
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,080
fair to expect them to do that

774
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,080
over and over and over again.

775
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,080
Nor is it fair to expect that to

776
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,080
happen just in the future

777
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,080
citizens and -- future projects.

778
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,080
And yes, we have to be on that,

779
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,080
and we have to prevent it. I'm

780
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,080
with you, 100%.

781
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,080
>> I agree with you. They did a

782
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,080
fantastic job. But it should not

783
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,080
have gotten to that --

784
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,080
>> I agree. I will be over to

785
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,080
see your lights. And I will

786
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,080
hopefully keep a careful eye on

787
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,080
the public consultation process.

788
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,080
And I am listening to all of you

789
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,080
and any concerns that anybody

790
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,080
expresses, I am your voice, your

791
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,080
mouthpiece on that. Because,

792
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,080
like you, I share, 100%, your

793
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,080
concerns for the prices and

794
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,080
whether it is affecting citizen

795
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,080
participation. I really, really

796
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,080
like that. That is the goal of

797
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,080
the exercise. Thanks.

798
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:05,040
So, we are at -- Linda Douette

799
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,040
--

800
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,040
>> High. I want to talk about

801
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,040
the mandate letter attached to

802
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:20,040
the -- about -- about making an

803
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,040
in-camera meetings and leading

804
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,040
to some consultations with

805
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,040
Fairview, to get them -- step

806
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,040
out of the ongoing planning

807
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,040
program process.

808
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,040
And eventually out of the

809
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,040
freeze. And the wording of -- in

810
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,040
the resolution, as it was

811
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,040
passed, says it's a mandate

812
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,040
letter that will be attached to

813
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,040
it. The mandate letter provided

814
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,040
is the only one that exists --

815
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,040
the city manager. And she is

816
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,040
referring to a letter that was

817
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,040
sent from the city manager to

818
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:56,040
Fairview. But the resolution

819
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,040
says, the mandate letter, to the

820
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,000
city manager, from Council, that

821
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,000
is to provide guidelines for the

822
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,000
-- we filed with passage of this

823
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,000
resolution and the integral to

824
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,000
this resolution and that the

825
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,000
city manager will update Council

826
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,000
as the dialogue advances. When

827
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,000
asked for this mandate letter,

828
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,000
it was no -- one was able to

829
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:21,000
produce it from the City so, I

830
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,000
have two questions. One, when

831
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000
will we see the mandate letter?

832
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Because I don't think that the

833
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,000
resolution is valid without it.

834
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
And yet, it was acted on.

835
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Because February 3rd, a letter

836
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000
was sent to Fairview. With the

837
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,000
city manager saying she had a

838
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,000
mandate, which we haven't seen?

839
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,000
And that is nice. By then, my

840
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
question too is, what did

841
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Fairview respond to this letter?

842
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,000
It's been more than a month. I'm

843
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,000
sure you've got some response.

844
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,000
What was the response?

845
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:56,000
>> That one first? It was not a

846
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
positive one. Without getting

847
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,000
into specifics, it was not a

848
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,060
positive one. I am not sure if I

849
00:31:01,060 --> 00:31:02,060
am to speak to it -- I am to

850
00:31:02,060 --> 00:31:07,060
speak to it, Madam Thibeault?

851
00:31:07,060 --> 00:31:08,060
>> --

852
00:31:08,060 --> 00:31:11,060
>> Not a positive one. -- the

853
00:31:11,060 --> 00:31:12,060
initiative proposed in the

854
00:31:12,060 --> 00:31:13,060
letter.

855
00:31:13,060 --> 00:31:17,060
>> Okay. Count me not surprised.

856
00:31:17,060 --> 00:31:19,060
So, the mandate letter -- will

857
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,060
never see the light of day

858
00:31:21,060 --> 00:31:22,060
because it was never produced

859
00:31:22,060 --> 00:31:23,060
and doesn't exist?

860
00:31:23,060 --> 00:31:25,060
>> Did you try access to

861
00:31:25,060 --> 00:31:26,060
information?

862
00:31:26,060 --> 00:31:29,060
>> -- the city clerk said, and I

863
00:31:29,060 --> 00:31:34,060
quote -- where would be that?

864
00:31:36,060 --> 00:31:38,060
Sorry, I lost that piece of

865
00:31:38,060 --> 00:31:41,060
paper. Anyway, the city clerk

866
00:31:41,060 --> 00:31:44,060
said, the mandate letter

867
00:31:44,060 --> 00:31:46,060
provided -- that is, the one

868
00:31:46,060 --> 00:31:47,060
provided from our city manager,

869
00:31:47,060 --> 00:31:49,060
to Fairview, which is not a

870
00:31:49,060 --> 00:31:50,060
mandate letter. It's a letter

871
00:31:50,060 --> 00:31:52,060
saying that she has a mandate.

872
00:31:52,060 --> 00:31:54,060
Is the only one that exists --

873
00:31:54,060 --> 00:31:55,060
in fact, the guidelines from the

874
00:31:55,060 --> 00:31:57,060
council to the city manager are

875
00:31:57,060 --> 00:31:58,060
included in the mandate letter

876
00:31:58,060 --> 00:32:01,020
sent to Cadillac Fairview. Well,

877
00:32:01,020 --> 00:32:03,020
that's nice that it's not a

878
00:32:03,020 --> 00:32:05,020
mandate letter from City Council

879
00:32:05,020 --> 00:32:07,020
to the city manager. So, what is

880
00:32:07,020 --> 00:32:10,020
the entire mandate? And is it so

881
00:32:10,020 --> 00:32:12,020
going forward? Are there other

882
00:32:12,020 --> 00:32:13,020
attempts to make it happen?

883
00:32:13,020 --> 00:32:18,020
>> To make what happen, Ms.

884
00:32:20,020 --> 00:32:21,020
Douette?

885
00:32:21,020 --> 00:32:22,020
>> --

886
00:32:22,020 --> 00:32:23,020
>> Apparently, Cadillac Fairview

887
00:32:23,020 --> 00:32:26,020
responded in the negative. From

888
00:32:26,020 --> 00:32:28,020
my perspective, I've never --

889
00:32:28,020 --> 00:32:30,020
I've wanted public consultation

890
00:32:30,020 --> 00:32:32,020
and the citizens to determine

891
00:32:32,020 --> 00:32:35,020
the future, to specify their

892
00:32:35,020 --> 00:32:36,020
version of the City of the

893
00:32:36,020 --> 00:32:39,020
future, prior to doing any

894
00:32:39,020 --> 00:32:40,020
negotiations with any

895
00:32:40,020 --> 00:32:42,020
developers. I wanted to hear the

896
00:32:42,020 --> 00:32:43,020
citizen voice first. So, that

897
00:32:43,020 --> 00:32:45,020
has always been my preference.

898
00:32:45,020 --> 00:32:47,020
This might actually help. Who

899
00:32:47,020 --> 00:32:50,020
knows? It might be serendipity.

900
00:32:50,020 --> 00:32:51,020
>> Okay. Is this initiative now

901
00:32:51,020 --> 00:32:53,020
did in the water?

902
00:32:53,020 --> 00:32:54,020
>> Nothing is dead in the water.

903
00:32:54,020 --> 00:32:56,020
It's an ongoing process. You

904
00:32:56,020 --> 00:32:57,020
never know what is going to

905
00:32:57,020 --> 00:32:59,020
happen, going forward.

906
00:32:59,020 --> 00:33:01,080
>> Okay. So, then --

907
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,080
>> You are saying that we need

908
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,080
to find a letter that mandate

909
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,080
the letter?

910
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,080
>> We need to find the mandate.

911
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,080
Without the mandate, the

912
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,080
resolution is not valid. If it's

913
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,080
not valid, why did our city

914
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,080
manager act on it? I mean, she

915
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,080
should not have gone forward

916
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,080
without a mandate letter. And as

917
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,080
she went forward without a

918
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,080
mandate letter, it's kind of

919
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,080
ridiculous. The resolution says

920
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,080
the mandate letter is integral

921
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,080
to the resolution. It's an

922
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:27,080
integral part. It's an integral

923
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,080
part. Where is it?

924
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,080
>> Okay.

925
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,080
>> The whole wording of

926
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,080
everything is a real dogs

927
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,080
breakfast. That's a technical

928
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,080
term.

929
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,080
>> The resolution is the mandate

930
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,080
from the City Council.

931
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:43,080
>> Well, that cannot possibly

932
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,080
be. It cannot possibly be

933
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,080
because the letter contains

934
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,080
facts and suggestions not

935
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,080
included in the resolution. It

936
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,080
says other things that the

937
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,080
resolution didn't say. So,

938
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,080
therefore, that's not possible.

939
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,080
The resolution is not the

940
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,080
mandate letter. It's not

941
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,040
possible. The two don't contain

942
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,040
the same set of facts. They are

943
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,040
not the same wording. And the

944
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,040
resolution refers to a mandate

945
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,040
letter to be sent from the City

946
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,040
Council to the city manager. A

947
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,040
mandate letter doesn't say, this

948
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,040
resolution is a mandate letter,

949
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,040
is the mandate to the city

950
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,040
manager. It talks about a

951
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:20,040
separate letter, which must

952
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,040
exist -- or, how could the

953
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,040
resolution be dealt with?

954
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,040
It's kind of amateur hour.

955
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,040
>> Well, I wouldn't phrase it

956
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,040
that way. But but perhaps

957
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,040
there's a letter to be found.

958
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,040
And perhaps it can be revisited.

959
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:41,040
Who knows? But --

960
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,040
>> Well, I would like assurances

961
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,040
either that the Council

962
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,040
withdraws the resolution, or

963
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,040
puts it into a proper form.

964
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,040
>> If I will, Mr. Thomas?

965
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,040
>> Yes, go ahead.

966
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,040
>> I just want to make sure we

967
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:59,040
are on the same page with Mrs.

968
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Douette. -- there is no letter

969
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,000
from Council to Mrs. -- the

970
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,000
mandate given by the council was

971
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,000
in the resolution explaining

972
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,000
what was the future --

973
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,000
>> That's nice. That's nice.

974
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,000
>> Ms. Douette --

975
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,000
>> -- the reality. And the

976
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,000
resolution is perfectly legal.

977
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,000
>> Well, the fact is, the

978
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,000
resolution refers to a separate

979
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,000
document. It doesn't say that

980
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,000
the resolution is the mandate.

981
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,000
It says that there is a mandate

982
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,000
letter that will be filed and

983
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000
that will be from the City

984
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Council to the city manager.

985
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,000
>> --

986
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,000
>> It refers to a separate

987
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,000
letter. It does not say that the

988

resolution is the mandate.

989
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,000
>> I -- a bit further with you

990
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000
about this topic.

991
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,000
>> Thank you, Ms. Douette, your

992
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,000
intervention was most

993
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,060
illuminating.

994
00:36:00,060 --> 00:36:03,060
>> Thank you.

995
00:36:03,060 --> 00:36:06,060
>> Susan Weaver?

996
00:36:16,060 --> 00:36:17,060
>> Susan Weaver, Pointe-Claire.

997
00:36:17,060 --> 00:36:19,060
A little more basic question --

998
00:36:19,060 --> 00:36:21,060
this is a concern to me as a

999
00:36:21,060 --> 00:36:22,060
taxpayer and as a senior citizen

1000
00:36:22,060 --> 00:36:27,060
on a fixed income. In May 2022,

1001
00:36:28,060 --> 00:36:31,060
you allocated $500,000 to the

1002
00:36:31,060 --> 00:36:34,060
reserve for legal fees. How many

1003
00:36:34,060 --> 00:36:36,060
lawsuits have been filed against

1004
00:36:36,060 --> 00:36:39,060
our city? And will this reserve

1005
00:36:39,060 --> 00:36:41,060
cover all the lawsuits and legal

1006
00:36:41,060 --> 00:36:42,060
fees?

1007
00:36:42,060 --> 00:36:43,060
>> Good question. Madam

1008
00:36:43,060 --> 00:36:46,060
Thibault?

1009
00:36:46,060 --> 00:36:48,060
>> I don't have the answer --

1010
00:36:48,060 --> 00:36:50,060
but I will provide you with the

1011
00:36:50,060 --> 00:36:52,060
right information, Mrs. Ms.

1012
00:36:52,060 --> 00:36:55,060
Weaver, but I don't have the

1013
00:36:55,060 --> 00:36:56,060
right information right now.

1014
00:36:56,060 --> 00:36:57,060
>> Okay.

1015
00:36:57,060 --> 00:37:00,020
>> I can easily -- the

1016
00:37:00,020 --> 00:37:01,020
information, but not now.

1017
00:37:01,020 --> 00:37:03,020
>> Yes, I understand. Okay. I

1018
00:37:03,020 --> 00:37:04,020
think it's important, probably

1019
00:37:04,020 --> 00:37:06,020
-- well, for me, and to all

1020
00:37:06,020 --> 00:37:08,020
taxpayers, to know these things.

1021
00:37:08,020 --> 00:37:10,020
>> Yeah, of course.

1022
00:37:10,020 --> 00:37:11,020
>> Okay. Basic?

1023
00:37:11,020 --> 00:37:13,020
>> The lawyers -- if I could

1024
00:37:13,020 --> 00:37:14,020
intervene -- legal protection is

1025
00:37:14,020 --> 00:37:16,020
there to protect the citizens.

1026
00:37:16,020 --> 00:37:18,020
So, it's quite a worthwhile

1027
00:37:18,020 --> 00:37:20,020
investment. It protects the

1028
00:37:20,020 --> 00:37:23,020
interests, financially, and

1029
00:37:23,020 --> 00:37:25,020
otherwise of Pointe-Claire.

1030
00:37:25,020 --> 00:37:30,020
>> -- okay. And Mr. Thomas,

1031
00:37:31,020 --> 00:37:33,020
you've made claims, most

1032
00:37:33,020 --> 00:37:36,020
recently, in the media, as to

1033
00:37:36,020 --> 00:37:38,020
most and sleep populated -- and

1034
00:37:38,020 --> 00:37:40,020
vacant apartments or condos.

1035
00:37:40,020 --> 00:37:41,020
When you get your statistics

1036
00:37:41,020 --> 00:37:43,020
from?

1037
00:37:43,020 --> 00:37:45,020
>> I never made any such

1038
00:37:45,020 --> 00:37:47,020
comments, Ms. Weaver. Do you

1039
00:37:47,020 --> 00:37:49,020
have them? I never said anything

1040
00:37:49,020 --> 00:37:50,020
like that.

1041
00:37:50,020 --> 00:37:54,020
>> You said it on CJAD.

1042
00:37:54,020 --> 00:37:57,020
>> No, I didn't say that on

1043
00:37:57,020 --> 00:37:58,020
CJAD. -- do you have a

1044
00:37:58,020 --> 00:38:03,080
transcript? Because -- I'm just

1045
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,080
wondering. --

1046
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,080
>> I heard it on --

1047
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,080
>> If you have a quote. Innuendo

1048
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,080
but no actual evidence --

1049
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,080
>> Nasser el-Dhabi?

1050
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,080
>> Good evening, Mr. Mayor and

1051
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,080
City Council. I hope you are

1052
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:36,080
doing well. I'm always facing

1053
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,080
the problem, really, or causing

1054
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:42,080
a problem. As you hear everybody

1055
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,080
talking about -- the kids can

1056
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,080
hear about the traffic --

1057
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:49,080
school, and everything, all the

1058
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,080
traffic. -- he knows about all

1059
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,080
the traffic, but he ignore all

1060
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,080
of that and --

1061
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,080
>> Excuse me? That's false. You

1062
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,040
are making an assumption and

1063
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,040
false statements -- I think nor

1064
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,040
the traffic? Thank you.

1065
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,040
>> You ignore the traffic and --

1066
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,040
with Cadillac Fairview. That's

1067
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:11,040
what I meant.

1068
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:16,040
>> Perhaps Mr.

1069
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:23,040
el-Dhabi -- maybe proceed with

1070
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,040
the point without making it

1071
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,040
personal.

1072
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,040
>> I'm not making it personal.

1073
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,040
I'm always facing what causing

1074
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,040
the trouble. Trouble for

1075
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:34,040
Pointe-Claire -- what's

1076
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:38,040
happened, as you are seeing now,

1077
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,040
the -- Cadillac fair view don't

1078
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,040

the reality.

1091

>> Mr. el-Dhabi -- you are

1092
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,000
making statements that can be

1093
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,000
proven and insinuating things

1094
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,000
that --

1095
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,000
>> Okay, now I'm asking the City

1096
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,000
Council from the previous

1097
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,000
administration, do you have any

1098
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,000
relationship with Cadillac

1099
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Fairview as you did in business

1100
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,000
or somebody from -- a member of

1101
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,000
-- family working for Cadillac

1102
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Fairview? -- or investing in

1103
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,000
this company? Because

1104
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Pointe-Claire, we have a lot of

1105
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000
trouble. We heard the kids what

1106
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000
you say, we heard the lady what

1107
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,000
she said, we -- owe the project

1108
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:57,000
but did all the flooding. And

1109
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,000
you -- continue to just try and

1110
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,060
build more and more. So, I'm

1111
00:41:01,060 --> 00:41:03,060
asking the six city councillor,

1112
00:41:03,060 --> 00:41:05,060
what exactly is the relationship

1113
00:41:05,060 --> 00:41:07,060
but with Cadillac Fairview?

1114
00:41:07,060 --> 00:41:12,060
That's -- my question. --

1115
00:41:14,060 --> 00:41:17,060
represent all the -- Mr. --

1116
00:41:24,060 --> 00:41:28,060
Colin -- represent -- what

1117
00:41:28,060 --> 00:41:30,060
Fairview? Who can answer that?

1118
00:41:30,060 --> 00:41:33,060
>> Point of order -- citizens

1119
00:41:33,060 --> 00:41:34,060
are not supposed to go down the

1120
00:41:34,060 --> 00:41:36,060
list and ask councillors

1121
00:41:36,060 --> 00:41:37,060
questions.

1122
00:41:37,060 --> 00:41:38,060
>> I'm asking the mayor to ask

all of them.

1124
00:41:39,060 --> 00:41:44,060
>> Mr. el-Dhabi -- he can ask if

1125
00:41:45,060 --> 00:41:46,060
you have an opinion on

1126
00:41:46,060 --> 00:41:48,060
something? Can he knocked?

1127
00:41:48,060 --> 00:41:49,060
>> -- answer

1128
00:41:49,060 --> 00:41:52,060

1129
00:41:52,060 --> 00:41:53,060
the Mayor.

00:41:53,060 --> 00:41:54,060
>> Okay, but he's asking of

1131
00:41:54,060 --> 00:41:56,060
Council.

1132
00:41:56,060 --> 00:41:58,060
>> Just to get to your first

1133
00:41:58,060 --> 00:42:00,020
point, Mr. el-Dhabi -- I think

1134
00:42:00,020 --> 00:42:01,020
you are trying to make reference

1135
00:42:01,020 --> 00:42:03,020
to the fact that the -- makes

1136
00:42:03,020 --> 00:42:05,020
traffic around the school. That

1137
00:42:05,020 --> 00:42:07,020
would have been a really good

1138
00:42:07,020 --> 00:42:09,020
point to just make like that,

1139
00:42:09,020 --> 00:42:13,020
rather than sitting here or --

1140
00:42:13,020 --> 00:42:17,020
>> Mr. Mayor, I see the two

1141
00:42:17,020 --> 00:42:20,020
minute time. But you are not

1142
00:42:20,020 --> 00:42:22,020
listening. -- too many times

1143
00:42:22,020 --> 00:42:26,020
since last year -- seeing what

1144
00:42:26,020 --> 00:42:27,020
too many times -- sorry, Mr.

1145
00:42:27,020 --> 00:42:32,020
el-Dhabi --

1146
00:42:35,020 --> 00:42:39,020
-- all the folks at home. -- you

1147
00:42:39,020 --> 00:42:41,020
have the swimming pool. You have

1148
00:42:41,020 --> 00:42:43,020
the high school and the -- so,

1149
00:42:43,020 --> 00:42:46,020
we know of what is going on --

1150
00:42:46,020 --> 00:42:48,020
the traffic looks like. I see it

1151
00:42:48,020 --> 00:42:51,020
all the time but nobody

1152
00:42:51,020 --> 00:42:52,020
listening and project after

1153
00:42:52,020 --> 00:42:55,020
project that's what you care

1154
00:42:55,020 --> 00:42:57,020
about. I am not --

1155
00:42:57,020 --> 00:43:01,080
>> That's an interesting point

1156
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,080
-- that's a more interesting

1157
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,080
preamble than what you started.

1158
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,080
Now, you have a question to

1159
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:08,080
follow up with that?

1160
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,080
>> I said, what is the

1161
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:11,080
relationship between the six

1162
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,080
city council from the previous

1163
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,080
administration, when they

1164
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,080
calling all of us the problem,

1165
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,080
what's the relationship between

1166
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,080
them and Cadillac?

1167
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:24,080
>> Point of order. Two schools

1168
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:25,080
being combined at St. Thomas

1169
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,080
does not have anything to do

1170
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,080
with development at all. I do

1171
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,080
not want to be asked about that.

1172
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:33,080
>> That's debatable. -- he's

1173
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,080
asking you about traffic in a

1174
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,080
school zone. That's a valid

1175
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:39,080
concern.

1176
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,080
>> You are not --

1177
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:43,080
>> You're not going to get an

1178
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:44,080
answer by --

1179
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:49,080
>> -- causing the trouble.

1180
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:54,080
Honesty, trust, integrity -- and

1181
00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:01,040
that is the second portion is --

1182
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:08,040
about the increase the value of

1183
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,040
our house 55%.

1184
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:16,040
They increase the tax, city tax,

1185
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,040
16 and a half percent. Why?

1186
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:23,040
Because of COVID? 19? Everybody

1187
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,040
looking for houses, the houses

1188
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:30,040
went up. The mortgage was 1.4,

1189
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:37,040
or 5.5%, maximum 2%. My daughter

1190
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:43,040
bought a house for 1.5%. And now

1191
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:47,040
the mortgage is over 6% and the

1192
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,040
House is valued 30% and more and

1193
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:55,040
keep going down because the

1194
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,040
recession going on in the

1195
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,040
inflation and so the value of

1196
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,000
the house went down, so what is

1197
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:05,000
are you going to do now?

1198
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,000
Compensate for taxes we're

1199
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,000
praying now 16 and a half

1200
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:11,000
percent?

1201
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,000
>> 15.9 I think in

1202
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,000
Pointe-Claire.

1203
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,000
>> I get 16 point. Five

1204
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,000
>> But you might -- have

1205
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:21,000
>> The increase the house value

1206
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,000
55%.

1207
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:26,000
>> A couple of things. It's not

1208
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,000
as --, as you are probably very

1209
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,000
well aware. The interest rates

1210
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:33,000
are the Bank of Canada, so that

1211
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:38,000
beyond our jurisdiction as well.

1212
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,000
The rate of the evaluations of

1213
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,000
houses is determined by the

1214
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,000
frequency of economic exchange,

1215
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,000
buying and selling, in your

1216
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,000
area. So if your area has been

1217
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,000
active on the real estate market

1218
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,000
it has an impact on the housing

1219
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:58,000
value. That is a formula used.

1220
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,060
Mr. -- you're here to answer

1221
00:46:01,060 --> 00:46:02,060
that during the next period.

1222
00:46:02,060 --> 00:46:04,060
>> On the website.

1223
00:46:04,060 --> 00:46:05,060
>> Yes, it's on the website.

1224
00:46:05,060 --> 00:46:06,060
>> But this was last year. Now

1225
00:46:06,060 --> 00:46:09,060
it's down. And keep going down

1226
00:46:09,060 --> 00:46:10,060
because the mortgage --

1227
00:46:10,060 --> 00:46:11,060
>> That's the Bank of Canada,

1228
00:46:11,060 --> 00:46:14,060
sir. The interest rate is not

1229
00:46:14,060 --> 00:46:15,060
controlled by --

1230
00:46:15,060 --> 00:46:16,060
>> But the house value is going

1231
00:46:16,060 --> 00:46:20,060
down. It keeps going down now.

1232
00:46:20,060 --> 00:46:23,060
[Inaudible]

1233
00:46:23,060 --> 00:46:25,060
>> He had she has two until

1234
00:46:25,060 --> 00:46:26,060
April 30th to appeal the value

1235
00:46:26,060 --> 00:46:27,060
of her house.

1236
00:46:27,060 --> 00:46:31,060
>> Yeah, guys, this is not a

1237
00:46:31,060 --> 00:46:34,060
discussion at the mic. Did you

1238
00:46:34,060 --> 00:46:37,060
have a question, mister Al

1239
00:46:37,060 --> 00:46:38,060
Dhabi?

1240
00:46:38,060 --> 00:46:39,060
>> Sorry, what I'm saying, when

1241
00:46:39,060 --> 00:46:44,060
we go up we increase the city

1242
00:46:44,060 --> 00:46:48,060
tax. But if it goes down you

1243
00:46:48,060 --> 00:46:50,060
decrease the city tax. That is

1244
00:46:50,060 --> 00:46:51,060
the fairway.

1245
00:46:51,060 --> 00:46:53,060
>> That's not my understanding

1246
00:46:53,060 --> 00:46:55,060
of how it works. I don't think

1247
00:46:55,060 --> 00:46:57,060
it has ever work that way in the

1248
00:46:57,060 --> 00:47:00,020
history of taxation. But the

1249
00:47:00,020 --> 00:47:02,020
rate is determined by the

1250
00:47:02,020 --> 00:47:03,020
frequency of economic activity

1251
00:47:03,020 --> 00:47:05,020
in your district, and that's how

1252
00:47:05,020 --> 00:47:07,020
the rate is determined. It's the

1253
00:47:07,020 --> 00:47:09,020
Agglo that determines that rate.

1254
00:47:09,020 --> 00:47:11,020
Not us. We have nothing to do

1255
00:47:11,020 --> 00:47:14,020
with. That zero. Same with

1256
00:47:14,020 --> 00:47:15,020
fluoridation. To anticipate the

1257
00:47:15,020 --> 00:47:17,020
next, another question. We do

1258
00:47:17,020 --> 00:47:19,020
not, as a city, have control

1259
00:47:19,020 --> 00:47:20,020
over that.

1260
00:47:20,020 --> 00:47:22,020
>> And we able to do anything

1261
00:47:22,020 --> 00:47:24,020
about this? Who is controlling

1262
00:47:24,020 --> 00:47:26,020
it at least?

1263
00:47:26,020 --> 00:47:28,020
>> I have met with the

1264
00:47:28,020 --> 00:47:29,020
association of suburban mayors

1265
00:47:29,020 --> 00:47:31,020
and we have had serious meetings

1266
00:47:31,020 --> 00:47:32,020
about how to deal with the

1267
00:47:32,020 --> 00:47:34,020
increases that we received from

1268
00:47:34,020 --> 00:47:36,020
the agglomeration council, and

1269
00:47:36,020 --> 00:47:38,020
we are strategizing as we speak.

1270
00:47:38,020 --> 00:47:40,020
It's on my Facebook page. You

1271
00:47:40,020 --> 00:47:41,020
can follow the meetings. We are

1272
00:47:41,020 --> 00:47:44,020
well aware of that. All of the

1273
00:47:44,020 --> 00:47:46,020
cities are aware of that. We are

1274
00:47:46,020 --> 00:47:48,020
trying to work out strategy so

1275
00:47:48,020 --> 00:47:52,020
we can have some control over

1276
00:47:52,020 --> 00:47:53,020
tax increases on our

1277
00:47:53,020 --> 00:47:54,020
municipalities.

1278
00:47:54,020 --> 00:47:55,020
>> My comment is --

1279
00:47:55,020 --> 00:47:57,020
>> But there's a couple

1280
00:47:57,020 --> 00:48:01,080
questions there, Mister Al Dhabi

1281
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:02,080
so, I think you're almost done.

1282
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,080
To have the final question?

1283
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:05,080
>> Yes.

1284
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:06,080
>> I had the two but --

1285
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,080
>> Yes I think you've had to.

1286
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,080
>> Every time I come to speak,

1287
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,080
the leader of Cadillac Fairview,

1288
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:14,080

1292
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,080
Please, thank you very much. Mr.

1293
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,080
Al Dhabi you have no evidence or

1294
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,080
proof of that. We can't say it

1295
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,080
at the microphone. You literally

1296
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,080
can't. It's simply wrong. You

1297
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:37,080
can't accuse people of something

1298
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:38,080
-- I

1299
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:39,080

Mayor.

1301
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:41,080
>> No, I don't want you to prove

1302
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,080
it, Mister Al Dhabi. We are

1303
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,080
done. That's it. We are good.

1304
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,080
That's all, thank you.

Mr. Al Dhabi, thank you very

1313
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:05,040
much for your time, sir.

1314
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,040
>> Thank you, God bless you all.

1315
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:10,040
And working for the citizens

1316
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,040
that elect you not the

1317
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:17,040
developer. Thank you.

1318
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,040
>> Lynn Conway?

1319
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,040
>> Good evening. The topic was

1320
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:32,040
about identification so there

1321
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:36,040
was an article last week about

1322
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:39,040
serious issues add the --

1323
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:40,040
general hospital including six

1324
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:44,040
patients. I'm assuming everybody

1325
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,040
heard about it. Especially for

1326
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,040
the councillors that did the

1327
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,040
resolution, the Cadillac

1328
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,040
Fairview resolution, why did not

1329
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,040
more concerned about our health?

1330
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,040
This is very serious. The

1331
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,040
lakeshore General Hospital is

1332
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:00,000
understaffed, why are we

1333
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,000
bringing in more people here?

1334
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,000
Why are we giving permits to

1335
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:06,000
build thousands of more units?

1336
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,000
Bringing in thousands of more

1337
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,000
people in the city while there

1338
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:14,000
is a crisis at the hospital?

1339
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,000
>> Is that --

1340
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,000
>> I know it's a provincial

1341
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,000
affair. It's under provincial

1342
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,000
jurisdiction, provincial

1343
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,000
governments, however, when they

1344
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,000
want something enough to do a

1345
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:27,000
resolution to get what they

1346
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:32,000
want, why was there no push, the

1347
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:34,000
provincial government for what

1348
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,000
we need before we bring in new

1349
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,000
people here and if we can't have

1350
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,000
a proper hospital and proper

1351
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,000
staff than it's not give permits

1352
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,000
to use build more buildings. I

1353
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,000
think it's the antithetical

1354
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:47,000
thing to do.

1355
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,000
>> Is that your question?

1356
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:53,000
>> Yes. Why are we not

1357
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:54,000
contributing York your

1358
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,000
counterpart at the provincial

1359
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,000
level to get more staff

1360
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,000
intellectual General Hospital?

1361
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,000
>> It's been a problem for a

1362
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,060
long time, hasn't? It expansion

1363
00:51:00,060 --> 00:51:02,060
of the emergency room at

1364
00:51:02,060 --> 00:51:03,060
lakeshore has been on the books

1365
00:51:03,060 --> 00:51:06,060
for almost as long as the jack

1366
00:51:06,060 --> 00:51:08,060
bizarre extension. It doesn't

1367
00:51:08,060 --> 00:51:11,060
seem to be happening and it's a

1368
00:51:11,060 --> 00:51:13,060
definite issue, and we've had

1369
00:51:13,060 --> 00:51:14,060
other people get up to the

1370
00:51:14,060 --> 00:51:15,060
microphone with the same point.

1371
00:51:15,060 --> 00:51:17,060
I think the valid point. And I

1372
00:51:17,060 --> 00:51:19,060
think that bringing through new

1373
00:51:19,060 --> 00:51:22,060
residents into one area without

1374
00:51:22,060 --> 00:51:25,060
expansion on the hospital system

1375
00:51:25,060 --> 00:51:28,060
is a real problem and you can

1376
00:51:28,060 --> 00:51:31,060
talk about expansions elsewhere

1377
00:51:31,060 --> 00:51:34,060
but it's nonetheless a serious

1378
00:51:34,060 --> 00:51:36,060
concern and one we should take

1379
00:51:36,060 --> 00:51:38,060
seriously and not to mention in

1380
00:51:38,060 --> 00:51:39,060
restructuring schools and

1381
00:51:39,060 --> 00:51:41,060
recreational facilities and

1382
00:51:41,060 --> 00:51:43,060
other services that new citizens

1383
00:51:43,060 --> 00:51:46,060
bring to a city. And so both

1384
00:51:46,060 --> 00:51:49,060
seriously absolutely's health

1385
00:51:49,060 --> 00:51:51,060
and it will, I think, I can't

1386
00:51:51,060 --> 00:51:54,060
see how that problem is

1387
00:51:54,060 --> 00:51:56,060
avoidable. I think it's a real

1388
00:51:56,060 --> 00:51:57,060
issue and, you raise a good one.

1389
00:51:57,060 --> 00:51:59,060
And in the provision of health

1390
00:51:59,060 --> 00:52:02,020
care, in light of hugely

1391
00:52:02,020 --> 00:52:03,020
expanding citizenry, is a huge

1392
00:52:03,020 --> 00:52:07,020
issue. And yes, the staffing

1393
00:52:07,020 --> 00:52:08,020
situation and how hospitals are

1394
00:52:08,020 --> 00:52:10,020
running and health in general is

1395
00:52:10,020 --> 00:52:12,020
beyond our control. It's

1396
00:52:12,020 --> 00:52:14,020
provincial and mostly

1397
00:52:14,020 --> 00:52:17,020
jurisdiction. However, we can

1398
00:52:17,020 --> 00:52:19,020
control the densification of the

1399
00:52:19,020 --> 00:52:21,020
cities around our health care.

1400
00:52:21,020 --> 00:52:23,020
From my perspective, I think

1401
00:52:23,020 --> 00:52:25,020
your point is a valid one.

1402
00:52:25,020 --> 00:52:29,020
>> Okay, so, anybody worried

1403
00:52:29,020 --> 00:52:30,020
about densification, urban

1404
00:52:30,020 --> 00:52:32,020
sprawl, so the building the

1405
00:52:32,020 --> 00:52:34,020
hospital in Danielle void Ray,

1406
00:52:34,020 --> 00:52:36,020
let them build a more unit over

1407
00:52:36,020 --> 00:52:40,020
there. They'll have more access

1408
00:52:40,020 --> 00:52:42,020
to the hospital over there.

1409
00:52:42,020 --> 00:52:45,020
>> You are saying that --

1410
00:52:45,020 --> 00:52:46,020
>> Instead of bringing more

1411
00:52:46,020 --> 00:52:49,020
people here why don't we bring

1412
00:52:49,020 --> 00:52:51,020
them where the hospital will be

1413
00:52:51,020 --> 00:52:53,020
built? Health care is important

1414
00:52:53,020 --> 00:52:54,020
these days.

1415
00:52:54,020 --> 00:52:55,020
>> So are you saying urban

1416
00:52:55,020 --> 00:52:57,020
sprawl will follow the provision

1417
00:52:57,020 --> 00:52:59,020
of health care? People will move

1418
00:52:59,020 --> 00:53:00,080
according -- to

1419
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:01,080
>> Its my suggestion.

1420
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,080
>> Interesting.

1421
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:07,080
>> Why not? If we can fix it

1422
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:12,080
here, they can go build towers

1423
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:15,080
Indian.

1424
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:20,080
>> It might happen, who knows?

1425
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:22,080
Maya

1426
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,080
>> My other question would have

1427
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:27,080
been about the Cadillac Fairview

1428
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:28,080
resolution and there was a lot

1429
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:31,080
of discussion at the February

1430
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,080
meeting and I agree with what

1431
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,080
Mr. to which was saying earlier.

1432
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:36,080
So I think the question should

1433
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,080
have been directed more to --

1434
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:40,080
because you were the in skin

1435
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:41,080
instigator of the resolution

1436
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:45,080
when there was all this talk

1437
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,080
about -- kid else about it? Did

1438
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:48,080
any Councillors sign a mandate

1439
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,080
letter? Why was there such talk

1440
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:52,080
about the mandate letter? Can

1441
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,080
you answer that question?

1442
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,080
>> It's on his watch.

1443
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,040
>> Pardon?

1444
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,040
>> You instigated the care the

1445
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,040
Cadillac Fairview resolution. It

1446
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,040
talked about a letter. Did you

1447
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,040
draft a letter as well? Didn't

1448
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:09,040
Councillor signed letter?

1449
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:10,040
>> The council is not

1450
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,040
responsible for the director for

1451
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:13,040
the administration of the City,

1452
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,040
direct responsibility for that

1453
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:19,040
is Mayor, and once you passed

1454
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,040
ask Mayor your questions.

1455
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,040
>> Did a lot of, talked a lot of

1456
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,040
promises, while making promises

1457
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:29,040
if you can't fulfill them?

1458
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,040
>> Ms. Conway if I could speak

1459
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,040
to the comment that I find

1460
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:37,040
astonishing. The resolution was

1461
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:40,040
proposed against my wishes. I

1462
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:43,040
put my veto on it and I did

1463
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,040
everything I could on my watch

1464
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,040
to prevent it, however have not

1465
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:50,040
having power to stop it is

1466
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:54,040
someone my fault, kind of a

1467
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:55,040
preposterous proposal.

1468
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,040
Eventually the mayor has no

1469
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:00,000
vote. So something is proposed

1470
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,000
and voted on, the mayor has no

1471
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:05,000
vote, so it's not on his or her

1472
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,000
watch if they're outvoted and a

1473
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,000
resolution is raised, which it

1474
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,000
was, against my wishes, I did

1475
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,000
not want that resolution yet it

1476
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,000
happened. How, or somehow, am I

1477
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,000
responsible for it? I find it

1478
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,000
quite an astonishing proposal.

1479
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:20,000
You're

1480
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:21,000
>> Not responsible for the

1481
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,000
resolution, Mister Mayor. Once

1482
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,000
Council has resolved that it can

1483
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,000
actually happen it's your duty

1484
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,000
in your responsibility to effect

1485
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:30,000
it. That is all.

1486
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,000
>> To affect the resolution? No

1487
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,000
it isn't. No it isn't. It is

1488
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,000
implemented by the

1489
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:37,000
administration.

1490
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,000
>> So you have no responsibility

00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:40,000

all, a question period is for

1494

the citizens, as I told you

1495
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:48,000
before, with your repeated,

excuse me, she is there to ask a

00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,000
question and then dealing with

1498
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:53,000
it. Okay.

1499
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,000
>> The question is, in the

1500
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:57,000
resolution there was talk about

1501
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,060
the mandate letter, so the

1502
00:56:00,060 --> 00:56:02,060
councillor that instigated the

1503
00:56:02,060 --> 00:56:03,060
resolution should know, should

1504
00:56:03,060 --> 00:56:06,060
be the one that answers about

1505
00:56:06,060 --> 00:56:07,060
miss Dwight's question that she

1506
00:56:07,060 --> 00:56:10,060
asked earlier. I don't see an

1507
00:56:10,060 --> 00:56:12,060
answer coming, so that's my

1508
00:56:12,060 --> 00:56:13,060
question.

1509
00:56:13,060 --> 00:56:16,060
>> Okay. Thank you. And

1510
00:56:16,060 --> 00:56:18,060
apparently it somehow my

1511
00:56:18,060 --> 00:56:21,060
responsibility even though I

1512
00:56:21,060 --> 00:56:22,060
fundamentally wholeheartedly

1513
00:56:22,060 --> 00:56:24,060
disagree with it. That's quite

1514
00:56:24,060 --> 00:56:27,060
interesting, Councillor Cowan.

1515
00:56:27,060 --> 00:56:30,060
Okay. Sandra Mackay?

1516
00:56:41,060 --> 00:56:46,060
. Okay, Mister --. Good

1517
00:56:47,060 --> 00:56:51,060
>> Evening. I am the leader of a

1518
00:56:52,060 --> 00:56:57,060
climate action group. As part of

1519
00:56:59,060 --> 00:57:01,020
-- one of the things we do was

1520
00:57:01,020 --> 00:57:02,020
outreach to schools and I had

1521
00:57:02,020 --> 00:57:06,020
the privilege to go to three

1522
00:57:06,020 --> 00:57:08,020
grade five classes at

1523
00:57:08,020 --> 00:57:09,020
Pointe-Claire elementary and as

1524
00:57:09,020 --> 00:57:10,020
a result of my desire to see

1525
00:57:10,020 --> 00:57:12,020
this following letter from the

1526
00:57:12,020 --> 00:57:13,020
grade five teachers that will

1527
00:57:13,020 --> 00:57:15,020
give you Mister Mayor saying

1528
00:57:15,020 --> 00:57:19,020
dear mayor Tim Thomas the,

1529
00:57:19,020 --> 00:57:21,020
students of the -- elementary

1530
00:57:21,020 --> 00:57:22,020
school wanted to give you the

1531
00:57:22,020 --> 00:57:24,020
green hearts as our unit on how

1532
00:57:24,020 --> 00:57:28,020
the world works, and -- Anne of

1533
00:57:28,020 --> 00:57:32,020
-- visitors are class to visit

1534
00:57:32,020 --> 00:57:34,020
actions we could take to

1535
00:57:34,020 --> 00:57:36,020
mitigate climate change. The

1536
00:57:36,020 --> 00:57:39,020
student ask wish to I'd on their

1537
00:57:39,020 --> 00:57:42,020
beliefs and -- particularly the

1538
00:57:42,020 --> 00:57:43,020
Fairview forest. We will hope

1539
00:57:43,020 --> 00:57:44,020
you will look through these

1540
00:57:44,020 --> 00:57:46,020
kinds of consider the messages.

1541
00:57:46,020 --> 00:57:49,020
That's from Miss Leah different

1542
00:57:49,020 --> 00:57:50,020
ski and -- I. What we'd all

1543
00:57:50,020 --> 00:57:53,020
harsh to you, there are so many,

1544
00:57:53,020 --> 00:57:55,020
but many are touching and

1545
00:57:55,020 --> 00:57:57,020
beautiful. When my the students

1546
00:57:57,020 --> 00:57:59,020
and I feel like I'm their voice

1547
00:57:59,020 --> 00:58:04,080
this evening and so some of the

1548
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:05,080
hearts were point parts were

1549
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,080
addressed madame La Plante. Do

1550
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,080
you Mister Mayor, please protect

1551
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,080
the Fairview forest time in this

1552
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:12,080
concern of all the animals in

1553
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:14,080
the forest., The hawk, in the

1554
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,080
brown snake. The brown snake is

1555
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:18,080
endangered. I wish you would

1556
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:19,080
take action and stop Fairview

1557
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,080
from destroying the forest. I

1558
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,080
wish you could be like -- the

1559
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:24,080
who stopped the terracotta for

1560
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:26,080
us from getting destroyed.

1561
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:27,080
Please protect Fairview forest

1562
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:32,080
and make it like the terracotta

1563
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:36,080
park. We unclassifiable two

1564
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:38,080
would like to save Fairview

1565
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,080
forest please stop door for a

1566
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:41,080
stationary danger narrative in

1567
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:43,080
the forest and it is such a

1568
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:45,080
beautiful place trees are

1569
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,080
important and they take carbon

1570
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,080
out of the air. Save the forest

1571
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:50,080
so please protect our force

1572
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:54,080
because we are worried for the

1573
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:56,080
future and kids futures and

1574
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,080
defend the force to make a

1575
00:58:58,080 --> 00:58:59,080
walking path. Dear anyone who

1576
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,040
will listen, fairy shrimp, red

1577
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:03,040
shoulder talks, and even the

1578
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,040
endangered species of brown

1579
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:08,040
snake, they all live in Fairview

1580
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:11,040
forest please protect Fairview

1581
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:15,040
forest. I'm scared of greenhouse

1582
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,040
gases. Please stop cutting

1583
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:18,040
trees. Stop cutting and start

1584
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:19,040
planting. Deforestation is

1585
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:22,040
wrong. Please save the forest.

1586
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,040
I'm a grade five student debt

1587
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:27,040
can clear elementary. Please say

1588
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,040
Fairview forest. Brown snake,

1589
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,040
very shrimp. Help, help, help.

1590
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,040
Cutting down trees is hurting

1591
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:37,040
the environment, and increasing

1592
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:38,040
climate change. Fairview forest

1593
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,040
is an example of that. With so

1594
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:43,040
many endangered species like the

1595
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,040
brown snake, also trees help

1596
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,040
deal with pesky carbon, so we

1597
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,040
need that. Please help forests.

1598
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,040
Please protect Fairview forest.

1599
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,040
I might be young, but I have a

1600
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:54,040
whole life to live. If you cut

1601
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:56,040
down all the trees, there will

1602
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,040
be no future for me, for my

1603
00:59:58,040 --> 00:59:59,040
children, and my children's

1604
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:01,000
children. Protect all the

1605
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,000
animals, such as the red

1606
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,000
shouldered hawk. We should

1607
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:06,000
protect trees and ecosystems

1608
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,000
because trees absorb carbon.

1609
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,000
Also, forests are home to lots

1610
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,000
of animals and biodiversity.

1611
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,000
Please help protect all forests.

1612
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Climate change is taking over.

1613
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,000
Temperatures are rising. If you

1614
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,000
want to help, don't just say it.

1615
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:24,000
Do it. The children at clear

1616
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:25,000
Point School are counting on

1617
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,000
you. I do believe in the

1618
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,000
political process, and I'm

1619
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:32,000
optimistic that all of you here

1620
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:33,000
caring about the citizens of

1621
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:34,000
Pointe-Claire and want to do

1622
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,000
what's right for the children.

1623
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,000
So Mister Mayor, and

1624
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,000
councillors, will you please

1625
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,000
respond to the children of clear

1626
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:44,000
point elementary? Will you let

1627
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:45,000
them know that you have heard

1628
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,000
them and will address their

1629
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,000
pleas for action on climate

1630
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:50,000
change and protection of

1631
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:53,000
Fairview forest?

1632
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,000
>> Thank you. We have a

1633
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,000
responsibility for other

1634
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:00,060
people's future, and that really

1635
01:01:00,060 --> 01:01:02,060
should weigh extremely heavily

1636
01:01:02,060 --> 01:01:06,060
on us going forward with her

1637
01:01:06,060 --> 01:01:11,060
policy. I find fascinating in

1638
01:01:11,060 --> 01:01:15,060
the debate about densification

1639
01:01:15,060 --> 01:01:19,060
and urban sprawl that the logic

1640
01:01:20,060 --> 01:01:21,060
for densification is the

1641
01:01:21,060 --> 01:01:22,060
preventer of urban sprawl, yet

1642
01:01:22,060 --> 01:01:25,060
it also entails eradicating all

1643
01:01:25,060 --> 01:01:27,060
green spaces in urban settings,

1644
01:01:27,060 --> 01:01:29,060
which seems completely

1645
01:01:29,060 --> 01:01:31,060
counterproductive to me. So I

1646
01:01:31,060 --> 01:01:33,060
hear them loud and clear,

1647
01:01:33,060 --> 01:01:35,060
myself, personally. Others in

1648
01:01:35,060 --> 01:01:37,060
this council may feel otherwise.

1649
01:01:37,060 --> 01:01:39,060
I think living in cities where

1650
01:01:39,060 --> 01:01:41,060
you've gone up to the moon and

1651
01:01:41,060 --> 01:01:43,060
live in little units and you

1652
01:01:43,060 --> 01:01:45,060
sleep in a coffin sized bed and

1653
01:01:45,060 --> 01:01:48,060
you go down a tube is maybe not

1654
01:01:48,060 --> 01:01:49,060
the quality of life everyone is

1655
01:01:49,060 --> 01:01:51,060
looking forward to and they we

1656
01:01:51,060 --> 01:01:53,060
may have to find another way to

1657
01:01:53,060 --> 01:01:54,060
Lee live, ecologically, which

1658
01:01:54,060 --> 01:01:56,060
gives us the quality of life

1659
01:01:56,060 --> 01:01:58,060
where you we have green space in

1660
01:01:58,060 --> 01:02:00,020
our urban settings and we can

1661
01:02:00,020 --> 01:02:02,020
enjoy green space in our daily

1662
01:02:02,020 --> 01:02:03,020
existence, in urban settings.

1663
01:02:03,020 --> 01:02:06,020
It's been proven to be

1664
01:02:06,020 --> 01:02:07,020
psychologically necessary for

1665
01:02:07,020 --> 01:02:09,020
our existence. So the

1666
01:02:09,020 --> 01:02:10,020
eradication of urban green

1667
01:02:10,020 --> 01:02:12,020
spaces, for me, is a complete

1668
01:02:12,020 --> 01:02:15,020
and utter foolhardy proposition.

1669
01:02:15,020 --> 01:02:17,020
But going forward, who knows

1670
01:02:17,020 --> 01:02:18,020
where we will end up? But I

1671
01:02:18,020 --> 01:02:20,020
concur with what they are

1672
01:02:20,020 --> 01:02:22,020
saying. I can only reinforce

1673
01:02:22,020 --> 01:02:24,020
what they are saying and say

1674
01:02:24,020 --> 01:02:25,020
that terracotta was a result of

1675
01:02:25,020 --> 01:02:28,020
a group of very determined young

1676
01:02:28,020 --> 01:02:30,020
people who didn't take no for an

1677
01:02:30,020 --> 01:02:31,020
answer. So I encourage them to

1678
01:02:31,020 --> 01:02:33,020
do the same.

1679
01:02:33,020 --> 01:02:35,020
>> Thank you very much. I would

1680
01:02:35,020 --> 01:02:37,020
like to give you the hearts.

1681
01:02:37,020 --> 01:02:39,020
>> The hearts, okay.

1682
01:02:39,020 --> 01:02:40,020
[Laughter]

1683
01:02:40,020 --> 01:02:44,020
Do I get them? That's a real

1684
01:02:44,020 --> 01:02:49,020
bonus. Okay. Sure.

1685
01:02:54,020 --> 01:02:56,020
[Inaudible]

1686
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:05,080
[Applause]

1687
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:08,080
Maria Benner vetoes?

1688
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:31,080
>> Good evening, Mayor and.

1689
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:32,080
Council my name is Maria

1690
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:33,080
Benivitas, and I am death. I am

1691
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,080
part -- of Pointe-Claire. I come

1692
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:40,080
to speak to you today for --, a

1693
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:43,080
professional in trumpeter who

1694
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:44,080
understands I interpreting

1695
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,080
needs. She's an interpreter who

1696
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:49,080
can form of to -- better support

1697
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,080
my. Signs American sign

1698
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,080
language. Most interpreters

1699
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:57,080
interpret either with American

1700
01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:59,080
sign language or -- or

1701
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,040
alliteration, which is basically

1702
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:04,040
through -- but in my situation I

1703
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:06,040
use both and it has worked for

1704
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:10,040
the very well. I come here today

1705
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:11,040
in response to the recent

1706
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:13,040
announcement that interpretation

1707
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:16,040
services for Québec's death

1708
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:17,040
anglophone community are being

1709
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:20,040
cut. When Friday March 3rd,

1710
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:25,040
2020, three I received them who

1711
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:32,040
originator, -- metropolitan. The

1712
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:36,040
agency that manages the quest

1713
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:37,040
for interpreters for deaf and

1714
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:40,040
for clients and businesses in

1715
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:42,040
the island of Montréal. Then for

1716
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:44,040
me the booking request for

1717
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:47,040
interpreters is on hold

1718
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:49,040
indefinitely. -- communicated to

1719
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:52,040
be that the CC as Eminem is

1720
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:54,040
suspending the anglophone

1721
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,040
American sign language

1722
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:57,040
interpretation program. As they

1723
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:02,000
have run out of money. As of now

1724
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,000
the CCSMN will only address

1725
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,000
certain situations such as if a

1726
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:12,000
deaf person has to go to a

1727
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:13,000
hospital emergency room for a

1728
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,000
medical or middle of crisis.

1729
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:17,000
Know that emergency situations

1730
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:19,000
were not clearly defined in

1731
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:22,000
writing. Interpreters for the

1732
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,000
death or any central service.

1733
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:26,000
They break down barriers and

1734
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:27,000
promote understanding between

1735
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:30,000
deaf and hearing people and play

1736
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,000
an important role in helping to

1737
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:33,000
ease the complexity of

1738
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:36,000
isolation. Communication

1739
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:40,000
matters. The death -- community

1740
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:44,000
and wins were by another agency

1741
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:46,000
--. The interpreters have

1742
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,000
received their own funding.

1743
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,000
While the CCSMN has been

1744
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,000
providing services for the

1745
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:57,000
anglophone since 2011. Under the

1746
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:00,060
management of the -- today.

1747
01:06:00,060 --> 01:06:02,060
Given without warning, members

1748
01:06:02,060 --> 01:06:05,060
of the anglophone deaf community

1749
01:06:05,060 --> 01:06:06,060
have now left without

1750
01:06:06,060 --> 01:06:08,060
interpreters. Those interpreters

1751
01:06:08,060 --> 01:06:10,060
are not being paid, including my

1752
01:06:10,060 --> 01:06:12,060
own interpreter. This is not

1753
01:06:12,060 --> 01:06:16,060
acceptable. I have been using

1754
01:06:16,060 --> 01:06:17,060
interpreters since my last year

1755
01:06:17,060 --> 01:06:19,060
of high school. This service is

1756
01:06:19,060 --> 01:06:24,060
invaluable. It is -- it

1757
01:06:24,060 --> 01:06:25,060
overcomes barriers to

1758
01:06:25,060 --> 01:06:27,060
communication, especially if I

1759
01:06:27,060 --> 01:06:31,060
am among a group of people. A

1760
01:06:31,060 --> 01:06:36,060
classroom on the last meeting --

1761
01:06:36,060 --> 01:06:39,060
I use interpreter for medical

1762
01:06:39,060 --> 01:06:41,060
appointments and municipal

1763
01:06:41,060 --> 01:06:42,060
meetings such as City workshop

1764
01:06:42,060 --> 01:06:44,060
that they attended in December.

1765
01:06:44,060 --> 01:06:46,060
And this one that is going to be

1766
01:06:46,060 --> 01:06:49,060
presented tomorrow. Tomorrow

1767
01:06:49,060 --> 01:06:53,060
night. For I will see this --

1768
01:06:53,060 --> 01:06:55,060
this allows me to become more

1769
01:06:55,060 --> 01:06:57,060
involved in my community

1770
01:06:57,060 --> 01:06:59,060
participation other than be

1771
01:06:59,060 --> 01:07:03,020
isolated. Now that the service

1772
01:07:03,020 --> 01:07:06,020
is temporarily suspended until

1773
01:07:06,020 --> 01:07:09,020
they have money, I have increase

1774
01:07:09,020 --> 01:07:10,020
the stress as to how I will be

1775
01:07:10,020 --> 01:07:12,020
able to understand, much less

1776
01:07:12,020 --> 01:07:16,020
communicate. Suspending this

1777
01:07:16,020 --> 01:07:18,020
service for the deaf anglophone

1778
01:07:18,020 --> 01:07:19,020
community in jeopardy. My

1779
01:07:19,020 --> 01:07:23,020
understanding is that the board

1780
01:07:24,020 --> 01:07:29,020
of the CCSMM F suspended the

1781
01:07:30,020 --> 01:07:32,020
service and the CCSMM should be

1782
01:07:32,020 --> 01:07:33,020
responsible for the funds from

1783
01:07:33,020 --> 01:07:35,020
the government. Have to apply

1784
01:07:35,020 --> 01:07:37,020
for the funds. So the fact that

1785
01:07:37,020 --> 01:07:40,020
this has happened even more then

1786
01:07:40,020 --> 01:07:42,020
once the issue right now when to

1787
01:07:42,020 --> 01:07:45,020
apply for more funding. This is

1788
01:07:45,020 --> 01:07:47,020
been going on for more or less

1789
01:07:47,020 --> 01:07:51,020
20 years. This means

1790
01:07:51,020 --> 01:07:54,020
mismanagement has to stop. I

1791
01:07:54,020 --> 01:07:56,020
would like to respect finally

1792
01:07:56,020 --> 01:07:59,020
ask you to help support me and

1793
01:07:59,020 --> 01:08:01,080
as the anglophone community to

1794
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:02,080
sending in their support and

1795
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:06,080
asking for solutions to our

1796
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:10,080
minister of -- the -- relations

1797
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:12,080
and English speaking Director.

1798
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:16,080
So the committee action. I would

1799
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:17,080
ask for an inquiry into this

1800
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,080
matter. If you like to ask me

1801
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:23,080
questions or ask my interpreter

1802
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:24,080
for the information, please do

1803
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,080
so. I am more than eager to show

1804
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:29,080
you how this means of

1805
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:30,080
communication system works for

1806
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,080
the deaf community. Thank you,

1807
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:34,080
Mister Mayor and Council members

1808
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:36,080
for listening to me, for your

1809
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:40,080
support and cooperation.

1810
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:43,080
>> Thank you. I applaud your

1811
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:48,080
intervention. I surprised and

1812
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,080
I'm intrigued by the, I think

1813
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:51,080
there's a difference between the

1814
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,080
provision of services for

1815
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:56,080
francophones and anglophones and

1816
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:58,080
that I find astonishing. I hope

1817
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:01,040
that's not the case. I don't

1818
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:04,040
know much and I'm not informed

1819
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,040
as to the specifics of this

1820
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:10,040
issue but I think that that

1821
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:13,040
obviously is not a good thing if

1822
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,040
that's the case. I would also

1823
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,040
like to, if you could send me or

1824
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:20,040
document the value of

1825
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:21,040
interpretation to the quality of

1826
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:24,040
life and to that of your peers

1827
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:25,040
that would be really

1828
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:28,040
illuminating from me. If I am to

1829
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:30,040
draft a letter, I'd love to be

1830
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:33,040
informed on it so that it can be

1831
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,040
a good one. And my other

1832
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,040
suggestion, it's a provincial

1833
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:42,040
issue. Have you spoken to the

1834
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:44,040
emanate, because Greg I'm sure

1835
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:45,040
would be all over this if he had

1836
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,040
a chance, as well. I'm intrigued

1837
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:48,040
by the issue. I don't know much

1838
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:50,040
about it, but peoples ability in

1839
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:52,040
their quality of life is crucial

1840
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:56,040
to this, and so it obviously is

1841
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:58,040
powerful and impactful.

1842
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,000
>> Okay, I have to say

1843
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,000
something, I have to say that

1844
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:06,000
when this happened I'm also back

1845
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,000
to am and a. He is involved. We

1846
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:14,000
are working on it. But I'm

1847
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:17,000
asking also for your support. I

1848
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,000
feel it is important because the

1849
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:22,000
more people that reaches out,

1850
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,000
the more people that reaches

1851
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:28,000
out, our community needs it.

1852
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:29,000
>> Okay.

1853
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:32,000
>> I hope that you understand.

1854
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,000
>> I do, what I'm gonna call

1855
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:35,000
great tomorrow. It will be my

1856
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:37,000
first call tomorrow so I can get

1857
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,000
his guidance on, I'm sure he

1858
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:40,000
knows more about this than I do.

1859
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:42,000
But I will certainly, I'm glad

1860
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,000
you have spoken to him, so I can

1861
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:47,000
certainly, if you would give me

1862
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:48,000
your personal experience or the

1863
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,000
importance to you in writing,

1864
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,000
and I will speak to Greg, and I

1865
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,000
can certainly draft a letter.

1866
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,000
That's not a problem at all.

1867
01:10:56,000 --> 01:11:00,060
>> Okay. That's fine. All right,

1868
01:11:00,060 --> 01:11:01,060
so, thank you very much. I just

1869
01:11:01,060 --> 01:11:04,060
wanted to show you how it works.

1870
01:11:04,060 --> 01:11:07,060
As you can see --

1871
01:11:07,060 --> 01:11:08,060
>> It worked well.

1872
01:11:08,060 --> 01:11:10,060
>> That's right. That's right

1873
01:11:10,060 --> 01:11:14,060
and also the fact that we have

1874
01:11:15,060 --> 01:11:16,060
had one combinations had been

1875
01:11:16,060 --> 01:11:18,060
working before such as the iPad

1876
01:11:18,060 --> 01:11:20,060
that have closed captioning that

1877
01:11:20,060 --> 01:11:22,060
I have been using before. And

1878
01:11:22,060 --> 01:11:24,060
for the answers I have to come

1879
01:11:24,060 --> 01:11:29,060
to -- so sometimes interpreters

1880
01:11:29,060 --> 01:11:33,060
do work. As you can understand.

1881
01:11:34,060 --> 01:11:36,060
So having used interpreters in a

1882
01:11:36,060 --> 01:11:38,060
very different situation. Of

1883
01:11:38,060 --> 01:11:40,060
course, take technology can

1884
01:11:40,060 --> 01:11:43,060
work. There are some cases where

1885
01:11:43,060 --> 01:11:45,060
captioning works. But as you can

1886
01:11:45,060 --> 01:11:49,060
see, right now, the screen right

1887
01:11:49,060 --> 01:11:50,060
there which could have closed

1888
01:11:50,060 --> 01:11:53,060
captions, but I can see because

1889
01:11:53,060 --> 01:11:58,060
I am in front. But if I have my

1890
01:11:58,060 --> 01:12:01,020
interpreter here instead of down

1891
01:12:01,020 --> 01:12:05,020
on my iPad, I delay. Sometimes,

1892
01:12:05,020 --> 01:12:07,020
you know, I am very confused. So

1893
01:12:07,020 --> 01:12:10,020
sometimes I have my interpreter

1894
01:12:10,020 --> 01:12:11,020
which speaks me in a way that

1895
01:12:11,020 --> 01:12:13,020
some kind of realtime

1896
01:12:13,020 --> 01:12:16,020
interpretation. Thank you very

1897
01:12:16,020 --> 01:12:17,020
much for listening to. Me

1898
01:12:17,020 --> 01:12:21,020
>> Thank you very much. Thank

1899
01:12:21,020 --> 01:12:26,020
you so much.

1900
01:12:29,020 --> 01:12:30,020
>> Mister Mayor, if I may, to

1901
01:12:30,020 --> 01:12:32,020
other people have been added to

1902
01:12:32,020 --> 01:12:35,020
the list. Lowest Butler.

1903
01:12:48,020 --> 01:12:50,020
>> CCSMM Lois Butler, say

1904
01:12:50,020 --> 01:12:51,020
Pointe-Claire incident. I had

1905
01:12:51,020 --> 01:12:53,020
some clients in my story today

1906
01:12:53,020 --> 01:12:54,020
they're excited about heavy

1907
01:12:54,020 --> 01:12:55,020
visitors for this first time in

1908
01:12:55,020 --> 01:12:56,020
a long time and a looking

1909
01:12:56,020 --> 01:12:58,020
forward to bringing them to the

1910
01:12:58,020 --> 01:13:00,080
village and they were asking me

1911
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,080
what is the status with the

1912
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:04,080
windmill and is it going to be

1913
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:06,080
fixed and what's going on. They

1914
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:07,080
would really like to know. I

1915
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:09,080
guess I would like to know. So

1916
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:10,080
what's happening with the

1917
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:11,080
windmill?

1918
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:12,080
>> It has been back and forth

1919
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:14,080
for the last two months. I have

1920
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:15,080
been trying to expedite it. I

1921
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:18,080
have been all over it. Madame

1922
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:20,080
Val-d'Or will attest for this, I

1923
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,080
have been on this probably every

1924
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,080
week probably three times a week

1925
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:27,080
since then there been minor

1926
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:31,080
details not minor but the legal

1927
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:33,080
details of the finalization of

1928
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:35,080
the agreement going back and war

1929
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:37,080
forth between the archdiocese in

1930
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:39,080
the city and it has been to my

1931
01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:40,080
frustration and I would love it

1932
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:45,080
to happen much sooner but, -- I

1933
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:46,080
think everybody would like to

1934
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:47,080
see it

1935
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:48,080
>> It's almost there, but it's

1936
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:53,080
like anything it's the final say

1937
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,080
-- I'm actively working on. It

1938
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:56,080
>> Yes.

1939
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:59,080
>> I've been bugging I the

1940
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,040
living daylights out of. Her

1941
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:02,040
>> It was a wonderful evening

1942
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:03,040
when we saw the students from

1943
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:07,040
St. Thomas, the participation,

1944
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:09,040
getting involved with things in

1945
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:11,040
their community in

1946
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:13,040
Pointe-Claire. I have been a

1947
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:14,040
very strong supporter of

1948
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,040
Fairview forest, as most people

1949
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:19,040
know. I would like to know, I

1950
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,040
know you've written to Mayor

1951
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:25,040
Plante about the forest. Have

1952
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:28,040
you contacted other levels of

1953
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:32,040
government to request funding?

1954
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:35,040
What's happening? Can you tell

1955
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:36,040
us who you've spoken to or what

1956
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:37,040
you've done?

1957
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:39,040
>> The really important one is

1958
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:40,040
coming up, one is that we're

1959
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:42,040
meeting? Is it this week?

1960
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:44,040
>> It's next week.

1961
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:46,040
>> With the representative,

1962
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:50,040
Madam Plante's --

1963
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:53,040
>> Next week is the other one.

1964
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:54,040
>> That's Madam Plante?

1965
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:56,040
>> We also contacted the CAO,

1966
01:14:56,040 --> 01:15:00,000
the most viable sources of

1967
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,000
potential funding and the

1968
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:02,000
provincial government as well.

1969
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:03,000
>> That's good. People want to

1970
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:07,000
know these things. They are very

1971
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:08,000
interested. Those two things in

1972
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,000
our city. All right. Thank you.

1973
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:14,000
>> You are welcome. One other?

1974
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:19,000
>> One more.

1975
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:27,000
>> A record night, I never get

1976
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:28,000
to speak. I appreciate that I

1977
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,000
can tonight. Another resident of

1978
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:33,000
Pointe-Claire, a resident of

1979
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:36,000
Pierrefonds. I am really into

1980
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:39,000
the forest. You will see me on

1981
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:40,000
the corner of Fairview and

1982
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:44,000
Brunswick every Saturday. That

1983
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,000
forest is really important to me

1984
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:49,000
and many people, from what I am

1985
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:51,000
learning about likelier and how

1986
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:52,000
many people really love green

1987
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,000
spaces in this area. But it's

1988
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:56,000
also important to west

1989
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,000
islanders. When I say important,

1990
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:00,060
I don't always mean that you are

1991
01:16:00,060 --> 01:16:02,060
going to see people there every

1992
01:16:02,060 --> 01:16:04,060
weekend and with their strollers

1993
01:16:04,060 --> 01:16:06,060
and picnic baskets from all over

1994
01:16:06,060 --> 01:16:08,060
the West Island. In fact, a lot

1995
01:16:08,060 --> 01:16:09,060
of people don't really know

1996
01:16:09,060 --> 01:16:10,060
about it, they don't know about

1997
01:16:10,060 --> 01:16:11,060
the access to it, even though

1998
01:16:11,060 --> 01:16:13,060
that's been prevented now, the

1999
01:16:13,060 --> 01:16:17,060
access to it. It is a little

2000
01:16:17,060 --> 01:16:22,060
more soul of environmental

2001
01:16:22,060 --> 01:16:23,060
health that you've got a lot of

2002
01:16:23,060 --> 01:16:28,060
responsibility on your plate. I

2003
01:16:28,060 --> 01:16:29,060
don't vote for you. You don't

2004
01:16:29,060 --> 01:16:33,060
have to do anything for me

2005
01:16:35,060 --> 01:16:36,060
because I don't have any say. I

2006
01:16:36,060 --> 01:16:39,060
get that. But it is not just for

2007
01:16:39,060 --> 01:16:41,060
me. It isn't just for

2008
01:16:41,060 --> 01:16:42,060
Pointe-Claire when you save a

2009
01:16:42,060 --> 01:16:46,060
forest. It's going to sound kind

2010
01:16:47,060 --> 01:16:50,060
of cliché, but you have a bigger

2011
01:16:50,060 --> 01:16:51,060
responsibility. There were so

2012
01:16:51,060 --> 01:16:52,060
little left everywhere. There is

2013
01:16:52,060 --> 01:16:55,060
so little left. I wish every

2014
01:16:55,060 --> 01:16:57,060
city, I will go to every city,

2015
01:16:57,060 --> 01:16:58,060
and I have been going through

2016
01:16:58,060 --> 01:17:03,020
every city to ask this. Every

2017
01:17:03,020 --> 01:17:05,020
space is crucial now. There is

2018
01:17:05,020 --> 01:17:09,020
just no question. So I know it

2019
01:17:09,020 --> 01:17:11,020
is so simplified for me to say

2020
01:17:11,020 --> 01:17:13,020
this, but I just wish every

2021
01:17:13,020 --> 01:17:15,020
person in your seats we would

2022
01:17:15,020 --> 01:17:17,020
look at a forest and go, hold

2023
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:19,020
on, that's not on the table.

2024
01:17:19,020 --> 01:17:21,020
Let's see what else we can do.

2025
01:17:21,020 --> 01:17:22,020
There are so many other things

2026
01:17:22,020 --> 01:17:24,020
we can do for Cadillac Fairview.

2027
01:17:24,020 --> 01:17:25,020
Give them what they want, give

2028
01:17:25,020 --> 01:17:26,020
the citizens what they want, and

2029
01:17:26,020 --> 01:17:29,020
keep the forest. It is doable. I

2030
01:17:29,020 --> 01:17:31,020
know you can do this. I really,

2031
01:17:31,020 --> 01:17:35,020
really have faith in you guys.

2032
01:17:35,020 --> 01:17:37,020
All I'm asking is for some of

2033
01:17:37,020 --> 01:17:39,020
the people that are

2034
01:17:39,020 --> 01:17:40,020
environmentalists and Montréal

2035
01:17:40,020 --> 01:17:42,020
to have a say in this process.

2036
01:17:42,020 --> 01:17:46,020
In some form. As I say, I don't

2037
01:17:46,020 --> 01:17:47,020
want to take anybody's place

2038
01:17:47,020 --> 01:17:50,020
from Pointe-Claire to speak.

2039
01:17:50,020 --> 01:17:52,020
But, you know, we can submit

2040
01:17:52,020 --> 01:17:54,020
briefs. We can submit

2041
01:17:54,020 --> 01:17:56,020
information, ideas, anything. I

2042
01:17:56,020 --> 01:17:57,020
hope the consultation process is

2043
01:17:57,020 --> 01:18:02,080
inviting ideas and input, even

2044
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:05,080
if only from Pointe-Claire. At

2045
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:06,080
least it's inviting something,

2046
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:09,080
not just on a steering note to

2047
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:11,080
pick that choice and that

2048
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:13,080
choice. A true consultation.

2049
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:15,080
When Montréal holds a

2050
01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:16,080
consultation, it's across the

2051
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:18,080
board. Anybody can attend. That

2052
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:19,080
is together. That's to get the

2053
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:23,080
best idea. I really hope that

2054
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:24,080
you open the board to get the

2055
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:25,080
best ideas, the best for your

2056
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:27,080
city. Then it will be the best

2057
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:30,080
for everybody. That's not really

2058
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:31,080
question. That's all I had to

2059
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:32,080
say.

2060
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:34,080
>> Okay. Well, --

2061
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:35,080
>> Thank you for the opportunity

2062
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:37,080
to speak.

2063
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:38,080
>> Our pleasure. You are right,

2064
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:42,080
it effects -- the area is

2065
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:43,080
everybody's resource. It is

2066
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:44,080
shared around the world. It's

2067
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:45,080
not specific to an area. I agree

2068
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:49,080
with you 100 percent. I have

2069
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:53,080
always felt, for me there is a

2070
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:54,080
natural inherent logic to

2071
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:56,080
protecting the forest in that

2072
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,080
you do an urban development, you

2073
01:18:58,080 --> 01:18:59,080
have a requisite amount of green

2074
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:00,040
space that should accompany and

2075
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:04,040
urban development. There is one

2076
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:05,040
already there.

2077
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:06,040
>> It's not enough.

2078
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:07,040
>> I know. There is one already

2079
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,040
there. What I'm saying is there

2080
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:11,040
is one already there. Okay, you

2081
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:14,040
do a real estate development and

2082
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:15,040
you've got green space right

2083
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:16,040
beside your real estate

2084
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:19,040
development. That enhances the

2085
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:22,040
value of your real estate. Your

2086
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:23,040
real estate development.

2087
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:24,040
Everybody wants to live

2088
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:25,040
somewhere that has a green

2089
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:26,040
space. You go to Griffintown

2090
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:29,040
where there is none. The

2091
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:31,040
inherent logic of having a green

2092
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:32,040
space naturally provided a

2093
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:35,040
company of urban development is

2094
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:37,040
when -- it always has been a

2095
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:40,040
no-brainer. Mount Royal to

2096
01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:41,040
Montréal, Stanley Park to

2097
01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:42,040
Vancouver, and accompanying

2098
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:44,040
green space for people to enjoy

2099
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:45,040
it makes the urban setting so

2100
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:47,040
much more enjoyable. For me, it

2101
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:52,040
has always been a no-brainer. I

2102
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:53,040
am concurring with what you are

2103
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:54,040
saying.

2104
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:55,040
>> Thank you.

2105
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:58,040
>> Yeah. Is that it? Okay.
