[0:50] - Mesdames et Messieurs, bonsoir
[0:50] et bienvenue à cette séance
[0:51] ordinaire du 12 mars. Nous avons
[0:55] des invités très spéciaux avec
[0:57] nous dans la salle.
[1:00] Permettez-moi de vous expliquer
[1:01] le contexte de leur présence
[1:03] parmi nous. En décembre, nous
[1:07] avons eu de nombreuses
[1:09] situations médicales qui se sont
[1:11] produites au centre aquatique.
[1:14] Il y a une situation en
[1:18] particulier que je souligne ce
[1:20] soir afin de reconnaître
[1:22] publiquement les personnes qui
[1:23] ont participé avec succès à une
[1:26] opération de sauvetage.
[1:29] >> On the number ninth, and
[1:31] ambulance was called the aquatic
[1:32] center for a coach who fell
[1:35] unconscious. The employees
[1:37] performed CPR, used the divvy
[1:42] later, and managed to revive the
[1:44] coach prior to the arrival of
[1:46] the first responders. The
[1:48] paramedics and on site doctor
[1:50] confirmed that the coach had had
[1:51] a heart attack. The employees
[1:53] quick response of property
[1:55] administration of the
[1:59] defibrillator save the coaches
[2:00] life. I join council members and
[2:04] recognizing the following
[2:05] employees. So we Gonzales,
[2:07] lifeguard, Rebecca, lifeguard,
[2:10] Artemis Fadila, lifeguard, and
[2:14] it can packet, coach, and Bruce
[2:18] Malcolm, supervisor, who
[2:20] couldn't be here tonight. But he
[2:22] is represented by his father,
[2:24] Gary, Gary, you are here? There
[2:26] he is. He is our former director
[2:28] of sports and leisure community
[2:30] development. Somewhat
[2:31] responsible for our pool. He did
[2:32] a great job and help me with the
[2:34] antique fare many moons ago. He
[2:37] is wonderful. But we are not
[2:38] here for us, we are here for
[2:40] this wonderful group of
[2:42] incredible, this special group
[2:43] of lifesavers.
[2:47] - Nous vous remercions de votre
[2:48] courage et de votre engagement à
[2:50] assurer le bien-être des
[2:51] personnes présentes au Centre
[2:54] aquatique. Ce sont des moments
[2:55] comme celui-ci qui démontre le
[2:58] rôle important de chacun d'entre
[3:01] vous. Maintenant, je vais vous
[3:04] appeler un parlez vous inviter à
[3:05] vous joindre à moi pour la
[3:07] remise de votre plaque de
[3:10] reconnaissance et à la prise des
[3:12] photos officielles individuelles
[3:14] et une photo de groupe par la
[3:16] suite.
[3:29] >> And somewhat different order,
[3:31] Bruce Malcolm, Gary, right off
[3:34] the bat.
[3:36] [Applause]
[3:52] >> I just want to say one thing.
[3:53] I want to thank Council for
[3:56] supporting CPR and life-saving
[3:58] for all of the citizens in
[4:02] Pointe-Claire. Saving the life
[4:06] is valuable.
[4:10] [Applause]
[4:21] >> I didn't want to unwrap them,
[4:23] because I didn't want to scratch
[4:25] them. Zoe Gonzales.
[4:30] [Applause]
[4:50] Rebecca --
[4:53] [Applause]
[5:12] Artemis fella.
[5:18] [Applause]
[5:31] And last, but certainly not
[5:34] least,
[5:41] Etienne Paquet.
[5:46] [Applause]
[6:15] [Applause]
[6:26] - Merci, Madame.
[6:33] You guys made us very proud.
[6:34] Merci beaucoup. Nous sommes
[6:39] bientôt à la fin de la saison
[6:42] hivernale. La saison a apporté
[6:44] son lot d'événements et
[6:47] d'actualité. Je m'excuse. En
[6:55] soulignant le décès de madame
[6:57] Lise Payette en date du 13
[6:59] février 2024. Elle fut à
[7:03] l'emploi de la ville du 29 août
[7:09] 1975 jusqu'au 30 juin 2000. Elle
[7:12] était une employée à la
[7:13] bibliothèque municipale au
[7:15] moment de sa retraite. Aussi,
[7:19] nous soulignons le décès de
[7:21] monsieur Paul Houde, le 2 mars
[7:25] dernier, à l'âge de 69 ans.
[7:28] Monsieur Houde était acteur,
[7:31] animateur de télévision et de
[7:32] radio québécoise reconnue par
[7:35] tous pauvres sa mémoire
[7:37] extraordinaire des dates, des
[7:39] lieux et des événements. C'était
[7:42] une référence dans le monde des
[7:44] médias francophones. Personnage
[7:48] hors nomme, il passait de son
[7:50] rôle d'acteur à analyste et
[7:54] commentateur dans de nombreuses
[7:55] sphères du domaine sportif. Il
[7:57] laisse un très grand vide dans
[7:59] le domaine des médias
[8:00] francophones. Et finalement,
[8:03] j'aimerais souligner le décès du
[8:05] très honorable Brian Mulroney le
[8:08] 29 février dernier. Plusieurs
[8:12] personnalités du Québec et du
[8:13] Canada sont succédés pour lui
[8:17] rendre hommage. As Canada's 18th
[8:19] prime minister, he made
[8:21] significant progress on
[8:23] significant issues here at home
[8:24] and around the world. His
[8:25] leadership was instrumental in
[8:26] negotiating and implementing
[8:27] free trade agreements with
[8:28] United States and Mexico. He
[8:31] initiated important measures on
[8:33] environmental issues, acid rain,
[8:35] I believe, was the most
[8:37] significant. And fiercely
[8:39] advocated for peace, equality,
[8:41] and democracy internationally.
[8:43] Just as a personal, I also
[8:45] believe he had a strong hand in
[8:47] freeing Nelson Mandela, as I
[8:48] recall, at the time. Pretty
[8:50] impressive accolades for Mr.
[8:52] Mulroney, who was a recipient
[8:54] for numerous owners including
[8:56] the order of Canada, recognizing
[9:00] his tireless service and
[9:01] devotion to his country. The
[9:04] funeral will be held on March
[9:06] 23rd, 2024, in Montréal, Québec.
[9:08] It will be proceeded by a state
[9:11] in Ottawa, and a repose and
[9:14] Montréal. These events will give
[9:16] Canadians an opportunity to
[9:18] salute Mr. Mulroney's
[9:19] contributions to public life,
[9:20] and to offer their condolences.

[12:56] >> The Saturday we have a
[12:57] citizen workshop activity taking
[12:58] place at the nautical Centre at
[13:00] 9:30 a.m.. Many people have
[13:03] suggested that we put this type
[13:04] of meeting on a Saturday to

[13:10] for a few hours of your time to

[13:21] mars et lundi 1er avril, la
[13:23] plupart de nos bâtiments seront

[14:04] the question period. Excuse me
[14:07] -- sorry, guys.
[14:13] >> Mister Mayor? Oui, Monsieur.
[14:16] If I may, I would like Council
[14:18] to think that -- the past
[14:26] president of the Pointe-Claire
[14:27] rescue unit because I know for a
[14:28] fact that he did this. He's a
[14:32] super incredible --
[14:33] >> Thank you. Big -- a wonderful
[14:39] man, and the past president for
[14:40] a long time. He will be will
[14:43] replace what he will be sorely
[14:45] missed. Big shoes to fill. Okay.
[14:54] >> There's a time to go to
[14:55] council members report or?
[14:57] >> Yes, let's do council members
[15:00] report. We will start with
[15:04] Councillor Cowan.
[15:05] >> I would like to acknowledge
[15:06] the efforts of a couple of
[15:07] citizens and district eight. I
[15:10] had the privilege of connecting
[15:13] the two that connected further,
[15:16] the members of the Chinese
[15:18] community which they are
[15:19] creating, at this moment there's
[15:20] just people of Chinese ethnicity
[15:22] that are living in various
[15:24] places. They are bringing them
[15:25] together, and they have made an
[15:28] organization together to put
[15:32] together, and celebrate Chinese
[15:33] New Year in a way to inform the
[15:35] public about Chinese culture,
[15:38] and it attracted a lot more
[15:39] people than the expected.
[15:40] Certainly than I expected. It is
[15:42] really good, a good community
[15:44] effort to show what can be done
[15:45] in the city. I would like to
[15:46] extend, again, that thank you to
[15:49] Jeff's out and surely you.
[15:53] >> Councillor Cousineau?
[15:57] >> I asked the question earlier
[15:59] in caucus. But I would like to
[16:01] know if we got any news from the
[16:04] archdiocese about the windmill?
[16:08] >> Are you asking me? Or is this
[16:11] a council report? We have no
[16:15] news as was suggested. Paul?
[16:23] >> Good evening. - Oui, bonsoir.
[16:24] One thing on Lakeview, as you
[16:26] know, there is going to be major
[16:27] construction continuing what
[16:28] happened last year on lakeside
[16:31] for the water systems.
[16:39] Madam Verdon, maybe you could
[16:41] give an update, there was a
[16:43] message on the 11th. But there
[16:44] were a couple of things that
[16:45] were lacking, where people would
[16:46] be asking questions. Si vous
[16:50] êtes capable de donner des
[16:51] feed-back.
[16:52] - De répondre à la question que
[16:53] vous m'avez posé? Oui. Les
[16:57] travaux iront... du printemps
[17:01] seront surtout situés au niveau
[17:02] des ligues vieux Lake 16. Et les
[17:04] travaux qui vont être faits sur
[17:06] Lake seront faits seulement en
[17:08] juillet 2024, donc reporté. Pour
[17:11] les questions au niveau des
[17:12] arrêts d'autobus qui sont situés
[17:14] sur Lake View, tel que dit, ils
[17:16] vont être sur Lake Shore et les
[17:18] boîtes Foster des citoyens vont
[17:19] être déplacés. Postes Canada va
[17:23] aviser les clients qui seront
[17:25] affectés. De tous les citoyens
[17:26] qui ont des besoins
[17:28] particuliers, ils ont déjà été
[17:29] contactés à ce niveau-là et des
[17:34] (---)
[17:35] ont été faits en début de
[17:36] mandat. All of the work that I
[17:38] have to do in the spring would
[17:40] be on Lakeview, and Lakeside.
[17:43] And the work that is supposed to
[17:45] be in the lake shore will be the
[17:47] only during July. All of the
[17:50] buses stop on Lakeview. The the
[17:54] -- will relocate on Lakeshore,
[17:57] and all of the mailboxes for
[17:59] citizens will be removed as
[18:01] well, and all the citizens will
[18:04] be compact. And also what some
[18:13] -- are being given by the
[18:15] citizens already affected.
[18:18] >> Just another thing, on the
[18:20] communiqué that came out, I
[18:21] think it is important. If you
[18:23] plan on carrying out work on
[18:24] your land which has been
[18:25] approved by the City of
[18:27] Pointe-Claire, or any other
[18:28] situation for which it would be
[18:29] relevant to inform the
[18:30] construction manager with the
[18:32] phone number here, or right too,
[18:41] to communicate with an agent in
[18:43] case you are going to do work
[18:44] let them know what is happening.
[18:46] I think on lakeside it went very
[18:47] well. Ça a très bien été, je
[18:49] pense, le contremaître qui
[18:50] s'occupait de ça à gérer
[18:53] beaucoup de communication. Il ne
[18:54] faut pas être gêné de poser des
[18:55] questions. La même chose se
[18:57] produit. Les gros, ça va être
[18:58] une série d'étapes. C'est ça. En
[19:01] tout cas, merci. Thank you.
[19:03] >> Cynthia?
[19:06] >> Nothing.
[19:07] >> Bruno?
[19:09] >>
[19:10] - Merci, Monsieur le Maire.
[19:11] Alors, une petite précision.
[19:13] Pour ceux et celles qui sont ici
[19:15] aujourd'hui ce soir qui demeure
[19:18] sur le boulevard Innes, il a eu
[19:21] un petit problème de confusion
[19:25] par Postes Canada récemment où
[19:27] il y a un bulletin qui a été
[19:29] distribué qui appartenait à ma
[19:31] collègue la conseillère
[19:33] Saint-Force, qui a été distribué
[19:34] à son nom dans le district.
[19:37] Alors, ça pourrait possiblement
[19:38] porter à confusion. C'est-à-dire
[19:42] qu'il faut bien éclairer les
[19:43] gens et qu'ils sachent que je
[19:45] suis bel et bien le conseiller
[19:46] dans certaines adresses sur
[19:48] aînesse également. Le contraire
[19:52] pourrait également arriver,
[19:54] dépendamment de ce qui se passe
[19:56] avec Postes Canada. Alors, juste
[19:57] un petit rappel que le 265, si
[20:00] vous demeurez au 265, le 285, le
[20:04] 329, le 340 Cambridge, le 280,
[20:07] le 290 rue aînesse, je suis bel
[20:10] et bien votre conseiller et vous
[20:13] êtes dans le district six. Je
[20:15] dirai la même chose pour les
[20:16] gens qui demeurent sur Van Gogh,
[20:19] monnaie et sur le côté ouest de
[20:22] Halton. Alors, des fois, il y a
[20:23] des erreurs qui se passe.
[20:25] Malheureusement, il y a un
[20:26] bulletin qui a été distribué
[20:28] dans vos classes postales. Just
[20:31] a quick reminder for those of
[20:32] you who might be here tonight or
[20:34] were watching online, my
[20:37] colleague here on Council put
[20:39] out a newsletter, or a bulletin
[20:41] recently in December, January,
[20:43] that went to areas that are
[20:46] actually in district six. And
[20:48] might be a bit confusing for
[20:49] those who live in those areas to
[20:51] recognize who their Councillor
[20:52] is. If you live on 260, five
[21:00] 280, 290 Hymus, or on van go, or
[21:03] on the west side of Austin, you
[21:05] are in district six and I am the
[21:07] Councillor. Thank you.
[21:09] >> Well said. Kelly?
[21:12] >> Nothing for this evening,
[21:13] thank you.
[21:14] >> Eric?
[21:15] >> Yes. One second. Hello, all.
[21:19] Bonjour à tous. I would just
[21:20] like to take this opportunity to
[21:22] thank all of the citizens that
[21:23] attended my town hall last
[21:25] Saturday. I would like to touch
[21:26] upon a couple of points. With
[21:28] over 35 citizens in attendance
[21:29] it was very well attended, and a
[21:31] quorum was respected by all, I
[21:33] think you all for that. We
[21:35] touched upon many issues,
[21:36] including all of the hot topics
[21:37] in Pointe-Claire today. It was
[21:39] fun. Some of the subjects were
[21:43] touched for present and future
[21:45] finances, discussed in detail,
[21:46] and I tried to stress the
[21:48] important financial challenges
[21:50] that we will face on the
[21:51] upcoming years starting in 2026.
[21:54] Including long term debt, as
[21:56] well as potentially decreased
[21:58] surpluses which will affect all
[22:00] of us. And the services we have
[22:04] become accustomed to. I am
[22:05] trying to give citizens a
[22:06] financial picture of what I see
[22:07] coming. There was also a brief
[22:09] update on the REM and the
[22:10] challenges we will face prior to
[22:12] its launch. Whether it be noise,
[22:14] any update that I could find,
[22:16] but there's really not much out
[22:18] there. The hot topic of Cadillac
[22:20] Fairview and the Fairview forest
[22:22] was discussed to the best of our
[22:23] ability. Thank you, Ralph, for a
[22:25] hearty discussion that we had.
[22:27] Which I outlined, by position,
[22:29] in reckons to both. Much work
[22:33] was done together as much
[22:34] information which was probably
[22:35] the number one issue with number
[22:37] seven, the future of the long
[22:39] term health care facility that
[22:40] will be built at the Monster
[22:42] dealership. Since the press last
[22:46] November, we have not heard
[22:48] much. From what I understand,
[22:49] there will be about, going to
[22:51] their website sensing
[22:52] information, there is a reason I
[22:53] am saying this, there will be
[22:55] about 204 residents, or
[22:57] dwellings, as well as the daily
[22:58] in and out clinic. As I stated
[23:04] last November, these numbers
[23:06] concern me as proposed density
[23:08] of dwellings is about 50% higher
[23:10] than the density that we fought
[23:11] for in 2020. Please understand
[23:14] as well, I support this project
[23:16] 100%. We are finally getting an
[23:19] injection of well deserved funds
[23:21] on the West Island for our
[23:22] seniors. I'm completely behind
[23:24] this project. However, as soon
[23:26] as the spring arrives, we will
[23:27] be going door to door to discuss
[23:29] some of the issues that affect
[23:31] our citizens. Particularly
[23:33] traffic concerns, and I will be
[23:35] needing help from all of the
[23:36] citizens of Northview number
[23:37] seven to get together, and to
[23:40] mitigate what we have coming
[23:42] forward, as I said, it is a
[23:43] positive issue. But we just have
[23:45] to get ahead of the curve, and I
[23:46] will be going door to door to
[23:48] ask for a lot of your help to
[23:49] get a consensus, and a feeling
[23:51] for where we are headed. There
[23:54] are also other issues discussed,
[23:56] but I don't want to take up too
[23:57] much time. I think you and my
[23:59] colleagues for allowing me this
[24:00] time. Thank you.

[24:53] period.
[24:54] - Maintenant, pour la période
[24:55] des questions ce soir. À la
[24:58] période de questions, vous avez
[24:59] été accueilli à l'entrée pour
[25:00] vous inscrire à la période de
[25:02] questions. L'intention de cette
[25:05] démarche est d'abord de
[25:07] permettre aux personnes de
[25:08] demeurer assise jusqu'à l'appel
[25:10] de leurs noms et d'accorder la
[25:14] priorité... priorité aux
[25:15] résidentes et résidents de
[25:17] Pointe-Claire. Nous garderons 90
[25:18] minutes pour la période de
[25:21] questions. Une personne à la
[25:22] fois au micro. Nous vous
[25:25] remercions d'attendre qu'un
[25:28] citoyen ait terminé de poser sa
[25:29] question et que vous soyez
[25:31] appelés avant de vous lever pour
[25:32] venir poser votre question. Les
[25:36] non-résidents présents pourront
[25:38] poser leurs questions par la
[25:40] suite, si le temps n'est pas
[25:42] écouler. For question period,
[25:44] tonight, you are greeted at the
[25:46] entrance to register for the
[25:47] question period. The goal of
[25:49] this approach is to allow people
[25:50] to remain seated until their
[25:51] name is called, and give
[25:53] priority to Pointe-Claire
[25:54] residents. One, we shall stick
[25:56] to 90 minute time limits for
[25:58] question period. To, one person
[26:00] out of time at the microphone.
[26:02] Thank you for waiting for a
[26:03] citizen to finish asking their
[26:05] question, and to be called
[26:06] before you get up to ask yours.
[26:08] Three, nonresidents present will
[26:10] be able to ask questions
[26:12] afterwards if there still time.
[26:14] Number one, off the bat, Carolyn
[26:18] Ottewell.
[26:27] >> Good evening. Okay, I sent an
[26:34] email to you, Kelly, last week.
[26:38] And I also copied and Mister
[26:40] Mayor. I would like to know if
[26:41] you have an update for the
[26:43] status of mail box garbage box
[26:47] distribution. Around town, we
[26:49] need some more. I was here last,
[26:51] year 11 months ago, and I asked
[26:53] for more garbage bins. Can you
[26:56] give me an update?
[27:00] >> Absolutely. Madam Verdon, do
[27:03] we have more garbage bins I was
[27:04] of this year, did we put more
[27:06] out? More locations?
[27:08] >> I don't have any information
[27:09] right now. But I can come back
[27:11] to you if you want tomorrow.
[27:14] >> So when I came last year,
[27:17] there was nothing done at that
[27:21] time --
[27:22] >> It was heard, and
[27:23] recommended.
[27:24] >> Was it heard?
[27:25] >> Whether there are some, that
[27:27] is what we are trying to find
[27:29] out.
[27:30] >> There wasn't. It's still the
[27:31] same. I'm positive. Absolutely
[27:33] positive. So I sent the email
[27:35] last week, and I'm sure that you
[27:36] saw that picture, shame on you.
[27:39] That's pretty bad. That's pretty
[27:42] bad. Kelly, sorry, I sent you an
[27:45] email, I think it was today. I
[27:47] included a couple more pictures.
[27:48] I would like you to show the
[27:50] mayor those pictures, because
[27:51] that is ridiculous. The number
[27:53] of garbage bins in our parks,
[27:56] just take voyager Park, for
[27:59] instance. There is 14 garbage
[28:01] bins, there are 14 recycle bins.
[28:05] There is no need. Absolutely no
[28:07] need for that many. You can
[28:09] distribute them, when you walk
[28:11] through the walking paths, there
[28:12] is no garbage bins, nothing. So
[28:15] that needs to be addressed. Now
[28:16] we are almost one year into it,
[28:18] and nothing done. Is there
[28:22] anything that's going to move?
[28:24] >> It is good you are bringing
[28:25] it up again. We will get on it
[28:27] again.
[28:28] >> Okay, I'm not going to wait
[28:29] that long next time.
[28:30] >> What I would encourage you to
[28:32] do is if you have sites, or
[28:33] locations that you think are
[28:34] preferable, make your own
[28:35] location map if you would like.
[28:37] >> She sent it, I forwarded it.
[28:41] >> Okay, good.
[28:43] >> Item number two, for seniors
[28:48] security, someone came to the
[28:50] door, or they came up my
[28:52] driveway the other day, and I
[28:54] said, you know, the dog was out
[28:56] attached on the porch, so I was
[28:58] kind of nervous, I went out to
[28:59] greet him and asked him, okay,
[29:01] what are you doing, are you
[29:03] selling something?
[29:04] >> No, I don't have to sell you
[29:06] anything, I'm not selling you
[29:07] anything. So what are you doing
[29:08] here? Anyway, I phoned Public
[29:11] Security, I said I don't want
[29:13] whatever, so I phoned Public
[29:15] Security only to find out that
[29:18] these people that are peddling
[29:20] door to door have to be vetted
[29:23] by public security. There issued
[29:25] a permit and they have to wear a
[29:28] lanyard. They have to show it.
[29:34] So the gentlemen for Public
[29:36] Security called me back. He
[29:37] found the fellow. I told him
[29:39] what direction. There was about
[29:41] five of them. I told him what
[29:43] direction they were going in, he
[29:45] found the guy. He said he had
[29:46] his permit in this pocket, he
[29:48] didn't feel like wearing it.
[29:49] That is fine. But my question
[29:52] is, can public security posts
[29:55] something on our website saying
[29:57] so and so company has received a
[30:00] permit, it is issued this day,
[30:02] and it expires this day. That
[30:05] way I know who's coming to my
[30:06] door, and I can see it.
[30:09] Especially, especially for
[30:11] seniors. Very important.
[30:12] >> Okay. Madam Verdon, can we do
[30:16] that?
[30:17] >> We can find a way to do that.
[30:20] >> Yeah. Thank you. That is it.
[30:23] >> Thank you very much.
[30:25] >> Ken Lyons?
[30:30] >> Good evening. I would like to
[30:32] know what is going to happen
[30:34] with the greenery on the one
[30:39] west project. The 242 to 250.
[30:44] They started digging the 242
[30:46] which is next to -- when I am
[30:49] sitting down at my dining room
[30:52] table, if I look south I see a
[30:54] brick wall. Except if I turn a
[30:59] bit I might see beyond that. If
[31:01] I look west, I am looking at the
[31:03] tenth floor building of one west
[31:06] again. Now they are going to put
[31:08] up a six storey -- a six storey
[31:14] closer to there and I've seen in
[31:16] the plan what is likely to
[31:19] happen. There is going to be a
[31:20] bit of a green strip, it seems.
[31:23] They are showing a deviation
[31:25] going towards the west. As it
[31:29] approaches Hymus. But Councillor
[31:32] said it is apparently not going
[31:33] to happen because he planned for
[31:36] a little part just to the east
[31:38] side of proper can and Hymus.
[31:41] What I want to know is what is
[31:43] the final plan? Is it going to
[31:45] be straight or will it be
[31:47] deviated? Or will we insist that
[31:50] we have some greenery? Like some
[31:52] trees? Not just a few of them
[31:54] but right now along Paprican, on
[31:58] the west side,, last summer, I
[32:04] don't know if it was a
[32:07] construct, or they just scraped
[32:09] all the topsoil off of those
[32:11] trees and lines up with that
[32:13] project. So, I would like to
[32:15] know, are we going to be forest
[32:17] of just seeing breaks, or will
[32:18] we have a chance to see
[32:20] greenery?
[32:22] >> I would love for it to be the
[32:24] latter.
[32:25] >> I need you to speak loud, I
[32:27] don't hear very well.
[32:28] >> I would love for it to be the
[32:30] latter. Here is hoping. One can
[32:33] only hope that we desperately
[32:35] need trees and a tree canopy in
[32:38] that area. Absolutely. One can
[32:41] only hope. I will ask, Madam
[32:45] Verdon, do we know the location
[32:47] he is referring to? Are there
[32:49] expected trees to be planted in
[32:50] there?
[32:51] >> I am not sure. Sorry, I just
[32:56] want to be sure that you are
[32:57] talking about the Paprican and
[33:00] Hymus, between Hymus and
[33:04] Jean-Drapeau?
[33:06] >> I'm talking about the west
[33:07] side of Paprican. The east side
[33:09] is occupied --
[33:10] >> So between the new
[33:12] construction and the town house?
[33:13] >> That's right. From Hymus,
[33:17] roughly to the bike path.
[33:38] - Paprican elle a, avec
[33:40] l'aiguille ou à côté.
[33:41] Présentement, la rue est droite.
[33:44] - Ici?
[33:45] - Oui. Mais là, dans le plan, il
[33:48] y a comme une déviation avec un
[33:50] parc. Okay, we are supposed to
[33:52] have a little place there where
[33:53] there's a bike path with some
[33:54] plants and trees.
[33:55] (inaudible)
[34:02] But if you want to be sure maybe
[34:04] call me tomorrow and say exactly
[34:08] where it is and I can show you
[34:10] the plans.
[34:11] >> We'll do. Another question --
[34:17] >> Sorry, just to add, we do
[34:19] always have a horticulture plan.
[34:22] So I will ask for the
[34:23] horticulture plan and send it to
[34:25] you so you can see what it is.
[34:27] >> That would be appreciated. I
[34:29] don't know where the eastern
[34:30] limit of Pointe-Claire's at
[34:32] sources. The reason why I am
[34:34] asking is that there's a Chinese
[34:38] restaurant that is more or less
[34:40] just a bit south of St. Louis.
[34:45] And if you want to go to that
[34:47] restaurant coming from north
[34:50] side of sources, you've got to
[34:53] turn left, the continuation is
[34:56] St. Louis and a different name.
[34:58] Then you make a sharp right
[35:00] where there is a street called,
[35:05] of course I had to have my
[35:06] memory blanked at this moment.
[35:08] Newman. It is about the worst
[35:11] street I've ever seen. You would
[35:13] swear that you were in a third
[35:14] world country. Is it ours, or
[35:17] Dorval's?
[35:18] >> Good question. I think it is
[35:20] Dorval's. This is a good
[35:22] question.
[35:23] >> I think it is.
[35:25] >> It is a little slice I do
[35:27] believe that it is Dorval
[35:28] because we have had an issue. I
[35:31] believe it is Dorval because
[35:32] we've had issues of accessing
[35:34] the restaurant back in my very
[35:36] first term. So we can validate
[35:38] and maybe reach out to our
[35:40] colleagues to see if there is a
[35:42] way. The parking lot is packed
[35:45] all the time. Maybe for
[35:49] convenience, you can go down all
[35:51] the way through Donegani and
[35:52] then do the loop to get back on.
[35:56] It is not very convenient.
[36:04] >> Ask if it's Pointe-Claire.
[36:13] >> Dimitri us? Last time I was
[36:18] better? Okay, it's not written
[36:21] very well, okay.
[36:22] >> Yes. Today I am just here to
[36:24] do a follow-up on the email that
[36:26] I sent Council --
[36:27] >> Could you speak into the
[36:29] microphone?
[36:30] >> It is to do a follow-up about
[36:31] an email that I send Council
[36:32] over the weekend. It is about
[36:35] the land ceded to Point clear by
[36:38] the developer on Walton Avenue
[36:40] in Northview. Can you hear me?
[36:47] Perfect. Better? So, yeah, my
[36:50] kids have been asking me when we
[36:52] are going to see a play area in
[36:55] that little green space and my
[36:57] kids are not the only ones that
[36:59] are saying this. There's about
[37:01] 20 other kids on the adjacent
[37:03] street on Crescent that want the
[37:05] same thing. The other thing is
[37:07] that my kids keep asking me that
[37:09] they want to see the future park
[37:11] name after their grandfather's
[37:13] restaurant. Athens Park. Which
[37:15] was there for 40 years. So my
[37:18] understanding is that for all
[37:20] new land ceded to the city,
[37:22] there is a procedure in place,
[37:25] and the money set aside for its
[37:28] eventual use. At what time does
[37:30] this process get launched by the
[37:33] City?
[37:34] >> The process of renaming, or
[37:35] we doing?
[37:37] >> Both. That was the second
[37:39] question. Is one dependent on
[37:40] the other and how does that
[37:42] work?
[37:43] >> These are good questions. I
[37:46] think that the name is a good
[37:47] idea. Because most of us would
[37:48] concur with it. It is a very
[37:50] good idea. It would make sense.
[37:52] Who knows whether that is what
[37:54] will happen or not but I think a
[37:55] lot of us kick it around and
[37:56] think it is a good sentiment. As
[37:59] for the park, I will ask Madame
[38:05] Verdon. Here's the problem with
[38:06] green spaces, they are hard to
[38:08] replace, and hard to create. So
[38:09] we should keep the ones that we
[38:11] have. Madame Verdon? Do we know
[38:14] if the green space in the Walton
[38:19] development --
[38:20] >> For the developer, to answer
[38:23] your question, each time that we
[38:25] do a development, that we need
[38:30] to put a certain amount, a 10%
[38:33] amount of money or land that we
[38:35] have to give to the city but is
[38:37] not for one particular project
[38:40] it will be for the whole city.
[38:43] In order to have a project of
[38:45] that particular land, we have to
[38:47] put what we call on the PQ I,
[38:50] that we have to vote each year.
[38:53] So, you know, we have to make
[38:55] the request with the City
[38:56] Council so they will consider to
[39:00] make that park.
[39:03] >> That would be for the actual
[39:05] usage and to put money into
[39:06] putting something in there?
[39:08] >> Yeah.
[39:12] >> As for the name, is the name
[39:14] dependent on getting the usage
[39:16] or can we do that in advance or
[39:19] in parallel?
[39:20] >> You can do that in advance to
[39:22] make the demands to the
[39:24] government to have the colour
[39:27] and make the request to change
[39:28] the names.
[39:29] La toponymie >> For the
[39:32] timeline, do I get in touch with
[39:34] somebody in the administration
[39:35] or with Council? I don't need a
[39:37] timeline right now but I'm just
[39:38] saying just to get the ball
[39:40] rolling?
[39:41] >> It never hurts to give
[39:43] incentive. I think that it is a
[39:45] very good thing to do. Some
[39:47] people complain but it is
[39:49] something that we should get on
[39:51] and naming it is something that
[39:53] should be in easy process. I
[39:56] tried with the corner of
[39:58] Cartier, and Lakeshore to name
[39:59] it after that, so that is a
[40:05] whole different concept. But
[40:07] yours is, I don't think it
[40:10] process. I don't know if the
[40:11] inner procedures I don't think
[40:13] that it would be from my
[40:15] perspective. Councillor Tedford
[40:20] Stork?
[40:21] >> When that park was created,
[40:24] it was already discussed that it
[40:26] would be a public consultation
[40:28] audit use. I mentioned today to
[40:30] members of Council, at one point
[40:31] there will be a get together,
[40:34] basically for the citizens to
[40:35] show up to discuss, because it
[40:37] is a green space right now, it
[40:38] is grass everywhere, there is no
[40:39] trees. Pour discuter ce qu'on
[40:40] devrait avoir. So something
[40:43] needs to be added to that. There
[40:46] has already been $300,000 put
[40:48] aside in our PTI and reference
[40:50] to that. Was it on this year's,
[40:53] it was already somewhat approved
[40:55] at some point, and we shifted it
[40:57] around for different projects.
[40:58] My recommendation would be to
[41:00] push this, you have, I think you
[41:02] also have not a petition, but a
[41:05] list of names, and just
[41:07] follow-up, I will help you
[41:08] follow up on the process. I
[41:09] think most logically would be to
[41:10] do both at the same time once
[41:12] the park is designed, whether it
[41:14] is a play park, or a city park,
[41:16] or whatever. So citizens choose,
[41:19] we try to time that together,
[41:20] and we do an open ribbon cutting
[41:22] at that point. That would be my
[41:24] thoughts.
[41:25] >> Perfect.
[41:26] >> Thank you.
[41:27] >> You are welcome.
[41:29] >> I will do a better job with
[41:30] your name next time, I
[41:32] apologize. Susan Webber?
[41:46] >> This is a question for the
[41:48] mayor. During February's council
[41:51] meeting, you said you would
[41:53] compile a list of citizens who
[41:55] were planted by the councillors
[41:57] to disrupt a process. I would
[41:59] like to know what citizens are
[42:01] being accused of being plants.
[42:03] Have you got a list with you
[42:05] tonight?
[42:06] >> I can answer that, I didn't
[42:07] say it in that way, that is very
[42:09] much mischaracterization of how
[42:10] it stated that. And people can
[42:12] go back and check that. It is on
[42:14] the record. It has a webcast.
[42:16] That is not at all what I said.
[42:18] But to answer what you are
[42:19] getting at, my number one
[42:22] example of that would be you.
[42:25] You got up in a council meeting
[42:27] early in my mandate and accused
[42:28] me of having said something in
[42:30] caucus. Which was very
[42:32] interesting how you would know
[42:34] what was said in caucus. It was
[42:39] subsequently discovered that
[42:40] what you said that I said had
[42:41] not been said, but you got up
[42:43] and apparently had been told
[42:44] that I had said something in
[42:46] caucus, and you did not, that is
[42:49] webcast in on the record. So you
[42:50] are my number one example of
[42:52] that. My number two would be Mr.
[42:55] Fitzpatrick, the tree where he
[42:57] was claiming some email I had
[42:59] written, which, in fact, was
[43:01] written by my Administrative
[43:04] Assistant, which was an
[43:05] information email that she had
[43:07] wrote updating everybody on what
[43:09] was going on. But it was made to
[43:11] be a great conspiracy, but in
[43:12] fact wasn't, that was a planned.
[43:14] There were others, usually, when
[43:17] someone comes up with something
[43:18] that has been said in caucus,
[43:19] you would think somehow there
[43:20] has been some stipulation there,
[43:22] and I would think that you are
[43:24] probably the number one
[43:25] proponent of that.
[43:26] >> I would say maybe got access
[43:27] to information.
[43:29] >> You didn't on the first one.
[43:31] Are you absolutely -- you did
[43:32] not on the first one. That is
[43:34] not true. Do you have a
[43:36] subsequent question?
[43:41] >> I will continue without any
[43:43] further time.
[43:44] >> Absolutely.
[43:50] >> Miss Weaver, I just gave you
[43:52] the proof.
[43:54] >> No you didn't.
[43:55] >> How is that not the proof?
[43:58] Okay -- this is very confusing
[43:59] to me.
[44:00] >> The list you promise that I
[44:02] was going to compile.
[44:06] >> Miss Weaver, anyone who gets
[44:08] up and speaks about something
[44:09] that has been spoken in caucus
[44:11] has inside information.
[44:13] >> No they don't. They have
[44:15] accessed information.
[44:16] >> I can give you a couple
[44:17] instances where that was not the
[44:18] case. That was my list.
[44:21] >> Okay, also, I have a question
[44:23] for Mr. Tremblay, in January you
[44:27] voted against the bylaw
[44:29] regarding the windmill. At the
[44:31] time, you said that citizens, if
[44:33] the citizens would like to know
[44:34] the reason for your vote, they
[44:36] could contact you. Well, I was
[44:39] interested, and I contacted you.
[44:41] But you decided not to share the
[44:43] reason as to why you voted
[44:44] against it. You stated the
[44:47] administration was still working
[44:48] on the bylaw. So, I would like
[44:50] to know, have you changed your
[44:53] -- I know that you can't change
[44:55] your vote, but now, are you in
[44:57] favour of the final bylaw?
[45:07] >> I'm being told that I should
[45:10] offer to have a coffee with you.
[45:15] Miss Weaver, where do I begin. I
[45:18] have known you for many, many
[45:20] years. Regardless of who is
[45:21] sitting at this table, you take
[45:23] a very aggressive tone in terms
[45:25] of trying to dig up dirt,
[45:28] respond to people in whatever
[45:30] capacity that you try, it is
[45:32] frustrating, because I would
[45:33] like to talk to you about
[45:35] certain issues, but I always
[45:36] feel -- this was one of my
[45:38] hesitations about speaking to
[45:39] you about all of the stuff, you
[45:40] would just make some kind of
[45:42] kerfuffle about it over a
[45:43] Council meeting. I voted what I
[45:46] voted, once the vote is made,
[45:50] the voters made. Hypothetically,
[45:52] I won't start discussing with
[45:54] you about what I would do now.
[45:56] The other point that I would
[45:57] like to make is I think what I
[46:01] told you at the time was I
[46:03] wanted to give the
[46:04] administration time to work on
[46:05] the project. My colleagues will
[46:08] be able to support me on this, I
[46:10] hope, I have been nothing but
[46:13] favourable to getting the
[46:15] windmill prepared. I've tried
[46:17] everything to be positive about
[46:18] this project. I voted in
[46:20] accordance with what I believe
[46:24] to me, or the facts before me.
[46:27] And I am very happy -- I am very
[46:30] unhappy with the way that the
[46:32] outcome, the whole discussion
[46:33] from beginning to end, where we
[46:34] are with this process, I think
[46:36] it is something that we could
[46:38] have definitely found a way to
[46:40] navigate around. But I don't
[46:43] know, I have difficulty
[46:45] understanding why you have to
[46:46] come to question period. And put
[46:49] me in a position where I have to
[46:52] explain something uncomfortably.
[46:55] >> I just wanted to know if you
[46:57] are in favour or not. I know you
[47:01] cannot change your vote.
[47:02] >> So I ask the question?
[47:04] >> I was just wondering. I
[47:06] didn't know what your reasoning
[47:07] was. I have the bylaw in front
[47:09] of me and I thought well, if you
[47:13] could see the parts you didn't
[47:14] like about, it I could sort of
[47:16] look back and forth.
[47:18] >> I'm interested, I'm genuinely
[47:21] interested.
[47:22] >> As a citizen, I think I can
[47:23] look at it. I don't have to make
[47:24] a decision, I could just say
[47:26] maybe that's right.
[47:27] >> What would you gain?
[47:29] >> What would I gain? I would
[47:31] again knowledge of what is going
[47:33] on. You know? I'm not going to
[47:35] gain anything. I will come to
[47:41] Council meeting to understand as
[47:42] best as possible what is coming
[47:44] on.
[47:47] >> That's not the way I see it.
[47:49] >> I am just telling you how it
[47:51] is. That is why I come to the
[47:54] council meeting, I started a
[47:55] long time ago, and is cause I
[47:57] found it interesting, I wanted
[47:59] to see what was going on every
[48:00] month. I started a long time
[48:03] ago.
[48:06] >> Thank you, Miss Weaver.
[48:10] Sheila Larsen?
[48:16] >> Thank you. I lasted before
[48:20] you on December the 5th, at
[48:22] which time I was mentioning
[48:24] about how good it is that the
[48:26] West Island finally has a
[48:28] tenants association in place. At
[48:34] that time, I brought up a
[48:38] question about, the other thing
[48:40] that had happened just before
[48:41] then was that really tragic fire
[48:44] in the apartment building in
[48:45] Dorval. And in that case, one of
[48:48] the things that occurred was the
[48:51] residents of the apartment
[48:53] building who did not have
[48:54] insurance of their own were than
[48:57] in very dire straits and there
[49:00] was no resource to help them.
[49:03] When I came on December the 5th,
[49:05] I had sent information by email,
[49:07] and I subsequently sent more
[49:10] information by email as has the
[49:17] CALODI staff. It was about a
[49:20] program that exists about the --
[49:26] for the municipalities to apply
[49:28] to be a part of and and didn't
[49:37] know that they had to apply for
[49:39] this Québec program to provide
[49:42] urgent support to people who
[49:44] might be victims of being
[49:46] homeless because of a fire. At
[49:48] the time, my question was
[49:52] received with great interest.
[49:55] And I did hear from a few
[49:57] councillors that it would be put
[49:58] on to a caucus meeting. But
[49:59] since then, I haven't heard
[50:01] anything, and I haven't read
[50:04] anything, or any kind of
[50:05] announcement about it. So I'm
[50:07] asking the question, partly
[50:10] because my understanding at that
[50:11] time was that there was a
[50:12] deadline for municipalities to
[50:15] apply before December the 31st,
[50:17] which is now gone past. And I
[50:20] wanted to know what was the
[50:22] decision of Pointe-Claire. Are
[50:24] we going to have that kind of
[50:26] support service or even apply
[50:29] for it through the Société
[50:31] d'habitation du Québec,
[50:39] .
[50:40] >> I remember a conversation. It
[50:44] was kicked around. I don't think
[50:46] that anything conclusive came
[50:47] out of the conversation when we
[50:49] brought that around. Was there
[50:51] something conclusive? There was,
[50:54] what was it?
[50:57] >> We decided against following
[51:00] through with that because it was
[51:02] not just receiving money from
[51:03] them, it was that Pointe-Claire
[51:05] had to pay the majority of it.
[51:08] And then there would be some of
[51:09] it matched from that government,
[51:13] and with the time delay that we
[51:14] had, we were not prepared to
[51:16] follow through with that until
[51:17] we had done more research into
[51:19] it and discussed and more. I
[51:23] believe that Madame Verdon can
[51:26] give more details about the
[51:27] exact grant process.
[51:28] >> Yes. The grant process, we
[51:33] need to have an agreement with
[51:37] -- that we are not allowed right
[51:39] now to have because we don't
[51:41] have the right, it is quite a
[51:42] bit complicated. So we have
[51:47] decided to talk about -- and see
[51:52] if we can do something
[51:53] altogether or not. So we are at
[51:55] the stage right now.
[51:57] >> Okay. I am going to be
[52:00] hopeful that the spirit of
[52:01] Pointe-Claire is one that wants
[52:02] to help its citizens that might
[52:05] need help. And with all of the
[52:07] concerns about the cost of rent
[52:10] and everything, there is more
[52:12] and more people who probably
[52:14] can't afford insurance as well
[52:16] as their rent and their food. I
[52:19] hope to hear that we are
[52:23] progressing with something that
[52:24] wants to provide whatever
[52:26] support system can be provided
[52:27] for our residents. I am not a
[52:30] tenant myself, it is not for me,
[52:32] but it is for people who are.
[52:35] And we do have a lot of tenants
[52:37] in Pointe-Claire, and that is a
[52:39] good thing. A lot of those
[52:40] apartments are affordable. And
[52:41] that is a good thing. So what
[52:44] can we do to support them should
[52:46] they come into a crisis? My
[52:50] second question is because this
[52:53] morning I actually wanted to
[52:56] pick up the phone and call
[52:57] Public Works, because my
[52:59] recycling bin, I live on vibrant
[53:02] him Avenue, the recycling bin
[53:05] was still on the street. It
[53:07] wasn't picked up. So I had my
[53:11] new little booklet with all of
[53:15] the dates and the changes, the
[53:18] recycling schedule, and stuff. I
[53:21] grabbed it to phone public
[53:23] works. And discovered to my
[53:26] horror not not on any page of
[53:30] this booklet put out about
[53:33] public works is the phone number
[53:35] for public works. I found my old
[53:38] one, which I hadn't put into
[53:41] recycling yet, and right there
[53:43] on page two, which is general
[53:46] information, is the email
[53:48] address and the phone number of
[53:50] public works. But in the
[53:52] brand-new one, not anywhere. Not
[53:56] anywhere. Now, what it does say
[53:59] in many places it is check the
[54:01] website. Look at this link to go
[54:04] and put your -- whatever, go
[54:06] into this QR code. I'm not want
[54:11] to do smart phone stuff. And
[54:14] when there's something like can
[54:16] you please, by the, way I did
[54:18] manage to phone because I found
[54:19] my number in my old book, and
[54:21] you can bet your boots I will
[54:23] transfer it. I think every
[54:25] citizen of Pointe-Claire should
[54:27] receive the phone number for
[54:28] public works and maybe an
[54:30] addendum can be sent out to
[54:32] everybody by mail and not only
[54:35] by mail may be, so that they
[54:38] know how to reach public works.
[54:40] I called, got somebody right
[54:42] away, and within an hour or
[54:44] recycling bins were picked up.
[54:45] But what shocked me was the fact
[54:47] that we were ignoring the fact
[54:48] that many people in our
[54:51] community are not computer
[54:53] savvy, are not able to get
[54:55] information that way. And
[54:58] really, a phone number? It
[55:00] should have been there.
[55:02] >> It was somebody young who
[55:04] probably put that together. And
[55:06] I agree with you 100%. And even
[55:09] if you tried the electronic way,
[55:12] you then do not have a password
[55:13] or you forgotten your password.
[55:16] Then they send you a
[55:17] confirmation to correct
[55:18] everything on your phone. Which
[55:20] neither of you know how to use.
[55:22] So I hear you loud and clear.
[55:24] And there's people of a certain
[55:27] age and I would include myself
[55:29] in it, that frustrates me. And
[55:32] we should include a phone
[55:33] number. So your point is well
[55:35] taken.
[55:36] >> I hope it can get corrected.
[55:38] We get phone calls when there's
[55:39] an emergency or when we have
[55:43] supply, or whatever, maybe eight
[55:44] phone call would be a great
[55:47] idea.
[55:48] >> I just want to say something,
[55:50] Sheila. I am right there with
[55:51] you. To be honest, I just got
[55:54] the guide so I haven't looked
[55:55] into it I think anyone who sat
[55:57] with me on council since 2013
[56:02] now I find that I could
[56:04] advocate, I used that before,
[56:06] for people who do not have
[56:08] access to the internet. Or a
[56:12] smartphone and we just had this
[56:14] conversation about a QR code
[56:15] because it drives me nuts when I
[56:17] can't find the menu, so I'm a
[56:19] little bit old-fashioned like
[56:21] that. We will definitely see how
[56:22] we can do that. It is a constant
[56:25] with me. Even if they have a
[56:27] cell phone, many cannot afford
[56:28] to have internet. And that is a
[56:30] big thing that we have to think
[56:32] about. I have five senior
[56:35] residents right next to you. We
[56:36] know all about it. And we do
[56:39] have to remember that. I know
[56:40] that everyone is pushing hard
[56:42] and it's going to be cheaper,
[56:43] it's going to be faster, but
[56:46] people still need to have access
[56:47] to that information. Thank you
[56:49] for bringing it to our
[56:51] attention. You can always call
[56:52] me if you need anything.
[56:54] >> Probably we would have called
[56:56] you tomorrow if the meeting was
[56:58] not tonight.
[57:00] >> Thank you, I appreciate that.
[57:03] >> I do think it was probably an
[57:06] oversight, maybe as you said,
[57:08] somebody young who doesn't even
[57:09] think of phones anymore. I do
[57:12] think that this correction
[57:13] should be made because of the
[57:15] vast population of seniors,
[57:17] including me, need to receive
[57:19] the information by the way the
[57:21] City gives information now, and
[57:23] they should have that as a
[57:25] correction. We forgot this
[57:26] important information, you need.
[57:29] >> I am with you 100%, Sheila.
[57:33] >> Lynn, Conway --
[57:47] - Bonsoir. >> Good evening. If
[57:49] we call the main number you'll,
[57:56] they can transfer us. That is
[57:59] what I usually do.
[58:02] >> But that number was not on
[58:05] their.
[58:06] >> I just memorized it. But I
[58:11] agree with you that there is
[58:12] that option.
[58:17] >> I would suggest that in
[58:21] Pointe-Claire, there are some
[58:22] homes that were built in the 19
[58:24] 50s or so, before, that are
[58:26] being demolished and prints are
[58:30] being given from mega homes. I
[58:32] would suggest, and I hope that
[58:35] we can maybe build more
[58:38] duplexes, triplexes, side by
[58:40] side duplex, for example, at the
[58:45] last-minute list in committee,
[58:46] and the developer wanted to
[58:50] build a mega home with a two car
[58:53] garage. It is only when somebody
[58:56] from the audience, somebody
[58:59] president pointed out that in
[59:00] this district, you should only
[59:02] have a one car garage. So it is
[59:05] only when this person mentioned
[59:08] this that it was being
[59:10] considered. Otherwise a
[59:13] developer or a citizen asked for
[59:17] a demolition permit, where are
[59:21] the bylaws? I don't understand
[59:24] why the developer doesn't
[59:26] already know what the bylaws
[59:27] are. Because you prepared all
[59:29] these documents and the
[59:30] presentation for a two car
[59:32] garage.
[59:34] >> We were just having that
[59:36] conversation this evening. It
[59:38] seems to be evolving towards two
[59:40] car garages as the standard
[59:43] operating procedure in our CCU.
[59:48] So the evolution seems to have
[59:50] taken it in that direction.
[59:52] >> Considering most people don't
[59:54] park there crawl cars in a
[59:56] garage and having into car
[59:58] garage seems like having a mega
[59:59] home instead of if we would
[1:00:01] build a triplex would you need a
[1:00:04] garage at all? If there is a
[1:00:08] housing, we are being told all
[1:00:09] the time that there is a housing
[1:00:13] crisis.
[1:00:14] >> Well, I hear where you are
[1:00:15] going with that. If we build
[1:00:16] smaller houses they would also
[1:00:17] be more affordable. Even semi
[1:00:20] detached. We can get more
[1:00:22] affordability and we can use our
[1:00:24] land space is a lot better.
[1:00:27] There are all kinds of ways. If
[1:00:29] we want to densify multi level
[1:00:32] residential has huge huge
[1:00:34] parking demands. Absolutely. We
[1:00:38] have to deal with that and the
[1:00:41] large home, whatever you want to
[1:00:44] call it, is an issue. Not only
[1:00:48] that, but we lose the tree
[1:00:50] canopy because we have smaller
[1:00:52] houses on bigger lots, then we
[1:00:54] lose our tree canopy, so you
[1:00:56] take down more trees to take
[1:00:58] down more of the lots. There are
[1:00:59] all kinds of reasons why I agree
[1:01:01] with you on what you just said.
[1:01:03] >> Considering there were many
[1:01:05] homes that were built in the 19
[1:01:06] 50s or before that are being
[1:01:08] demolished for new homes. I
[1:01:10] think this is a good opportunity
[1:01:14] to build more units. Not always
[1:01:18] a condo as a solution.
[1:01:21] >> I agree. And multi level
[1:01:24] residential. Not necessarily
[1:01:26] multi residential it is the
[1:01:28] solution. They are wonderful
[1:01:29] ways of dense frying without
[1:01:31] going up to the skies. Without
[1:01:35] losing sunlight and creating
[1:01:36] wind tunnels. There's all kinds
[1:01:38] of ways to densify and being
[1:01:39] more places for people to live.
[1:01:41] I agree with you. And a monster
[1:01:44] house is not the best way for
[1:01:45] sure.
[1:01:46] >> And when were the building
[1:01:47] bylaws going to be changed for
[1:01:48] this, on the table?
[1:01:51] >> It is not on the table at the
[1:01:53] moment, but we have talked
[1:01:54] about, it we actually talked
[1:01:55] about it tonight about trying to
[1:01:57] change, or evolve our building
[1:02:00] bylaws. When that will happen, I
[1:02:03] can't assure you.
[1:02:04] >> The citizen participation, I
[1:02:07] found that there was not much
[1:02:08] discussion about this.
[1:02:11] >> Yes, there wasn't a
[1:02:14] consultation --
[1:02:15] >> There was not a lot of focus
[1:02:16] on this.
[1:02:17] >> Well, there wasn't a lot of
[1:02:20] focus on things I would've
[1:02:21] liked, in my opinion. But I
[1:02:23] concur with you on that. Was
[1:02:25] that not touched upon? It, was I
[1:02:27] believe it was, yes. Do you have
[1:02:31] a subsequent question?
[1:02:32] >> No, that is all, thank you.
[1:02:34] >> Thank you. Sandy fuller?
[1:02:44] >> Good evening everyone, can
[1:02:45] you hear me? Mister Thomas, I
[1:02:50] would like to resume our
[1:02:51] conversation that we had in
[1:02:53] January, concerning the steps
[1:02:58] and explanation on how your --
[1:03:01] with your lawsuit, how this is
[1:03:03] paid for by the City. By the
[1:03:07] insurance of the city. I'm
[1:03:09] wondering if you could explain
[1:03:11] that.
[1:03:12] >> You want me to explain it? It
[1:03:13] is very simple. It is done for
[1:03:14] all mayors. It is done for all
[1:03:16] elected officials. It is because
[1:03:19] people with a lot of money, or
[1:03:20] large developers can put a
[1:03:22] lawsuit on just about anybody,
[1:03:24] and it is a method of
[1:03:26] intimidation. It can be a method
[1:03:27] of intimidation. And it gives an
[1:03:30] advantage to people with the
[1:03:31] greatest amount of money. And
[1:03:33] politicians are not necessarily
[1:03:35] people with the greatest amount
[1:03:36] of money, but yet they are put
[1:03:37] in place to stand up and defend
[1:03:39] the rights of citizens. There
[1:03:41] are procedures and laws in place
[1:03:42] to protect politicians that
[1:03:44] allow them to defend the
[1:03:45] citizens and not be intimidated
[1:03:48] or denigrated by people of
[1:03:50] greater means who are willing to
[1:03:51] use courts which are costly as a
[1:03:52] means of intimidation. So in all
[1:03:55] municipal politics, there are
[1:03:58] specific procedures. It is
[1:03:59] guaranteed. It is guaranteed in
[1:04:01] our constitution that mayors,
[1:04:03] such as myself, are protected
[1:04:05] for exactly that reason so that
[1:04:06] they could do their jobs
[1:04:08] properly.
[1:04:09] >> And are you allowed to choose
[1:04:10] the firm that will represent
[1:04:12] you, or do you have to go with
[1:04:14] the firm --
[1:04:15] >> I was consulted, but in the
[1:04:18] end, it is the recommendation of
[1:04:19] the actual insurance company, in
[1:04:21] my case, the insurance company
[1:04:22] had the say over it.
[1:04:24] >> Okay.
[1:04:25] >> But they tried. They were
[1:04:26] very nice. They tried to make it
[1:04:29] as amenable a process as it
[1:04:31] could be. And they did an
[1:04:32] excellent job. They were very
[1:04:33] good.
[1:04:34] >> Are you able to tell us what
[1:04:36] happens if you lose your case?
[1:04:40] >> I can't say anything on that,
[1:04:42] because out of prejudice, what
[1:04:44] will happen in the future. We
[1:04:45] will see, the facts are before
[1:04:46] the court, and justice will
[1:04:48] prevail. There will be a
[1:04:50] decision. I can't say beyond
[1:04:53] that, I can predict the future.
[1:04:56] >> Okay.
[1:04:57] >> Thank you.
[1:04:59] >> Mister Mayor three names were
[1:05:01] added to the list. Ralph still
[1:05:04] chick, Danielle litter, and Gary
[1:05:08] spiller.
[1:05:11] >> Ralph?
[1:05:18] >> Hello, good evening. I was
[1:05:22] here at the December council
[1:05:23] meeting, and I had asked about
[1:05:28] the -- everyone can hear? I was
[1:05:30] at the December council meeting,
[1:05:32] and I had asked about the
[1:05:34] interference with the public
[1:05:36] consultations. The public
[1:05:37] planning for Pointe-Claire's
[1:05:39] future by the City. And the
[1:05:42] consultant had advised us at the
[1:05:44] last meeting that he had been
[1:05:47] instructed strictly by the City
[1:05:48] to eliminate any mention of
[1:05:51] Fairview forest in the reports,
[1:05:53] and that he was forbidden to
[1:05:54] allow any discussion of Fairview
[1:05:56] forest after the consultation
[1:05:58] meeting on the environment. This
[1:06:00] was despite the magnitude of the
[1:06:03] forest issue. And curiously,
[1:06:08] actually, it was after the
[1:06:09] citizens at all of the public
[1:06:14] consultation is already voiced
[1:06:16] support of preserving Fairview
[1:06:18] forest. And in response to my
[1:06:21] questions at the December
[1:06:23] meeting Miss Thibault responded
[1:06:25] that there were a concerns, but
[1:06:28] that now considering the issue
[1:06:30] we could have a public
[1:06:32] consultation on Fairview forest.
[1:06:35] And so here we are now beginning
[1:06:37] of March, and I would like to
[1:06:39] know what is happening with
[1:06:41] public consultations and not
[1:06:45] interfering with them, and being
[1:06:47] allowed to have meetings where
[1:06:50] we voiced support or not for
[1:06:52] Fairview forest.
[1:06:54] >> I thank you for your question
[1:06:56] and it has some bearing on what
[1:06:58] Miss fuller just asked. Because
[1:07:00] in fact, the lawsuits that are
[1:07:03] present had very much a bearing
[1:07:06] on our consultation process,
[1:07:09] which it shouldn't. I was quite
[1:07:12] deterred by that when it was
[1:07:13] brought up. And I've been
[1:07:15] subsequently on that to try to
[1:07:16] get another session where we
[1:07:18] will speak to the private urban
[1:07:21] canopy, or private forest, or
[1:07:23] green spaces. At one point,
[1:07:27] everybody agreed that we should
[1:07:28] still try and get the subsequent
[1:07:31] consultation on that. I will let
[1:07:35] Madame Verdun clarify. It is
[1:07:39] going to cost more to do the
[1:07:41] subsequent consultation. It was
[1:07:44] supposed to go and come up with
[1:07:46] a sum for the additional
[1:07:49] consultation. Which I will
[1:07:51] absolutely try to insist on. I
[1:07:53] think without doing it we almost
[1:07:56] avoided for the consultation
[1:07:59] process and I think it would
[1:08:01] have been a loss of public
[1:08:02] funds. I think it absolutely
[1:08:04] have to be addressed. The firm
[1:08:07] that was doing the consultation
[1:08:08] has yet to come up with an
[1:08:10] estimate of what the
[1:08:11] consultation will cost. We are
[1:08:13] now going to tender for another
[1:08:16] firm to potentially do that
[1:08:18] consultation which is not the
[1:08:19] same firm. It is kind of not a
[1:08:21] good thing in, my opinion. But I
[1:08:23] will let Madame Verdun clarify
[1:08:25] if I have gotten some of that
[1:08:28] wrong.
[1:08:31] >> Yes, we ask for an addition
[1:08:33] of the contract on the firm. But
[1:08:35] they are now working on the
[1:08:37] public trans -- so they have to
[1:08:42] prepare something. For now, we
[1:08:43] didn't receive yet in the offer
[1:08:47] from that firm. But if they
[1:08:51] decide for any reason because
[1:08:53] I'm not in their company, who
[1:08:55] will have maybe to go for the
[1:08:58] offer. So we do not know yet, we
[1:09:00] are still waiting a little bit,
[1:09:01] but it is and discussion. For
[1:09:04] the next step. For the public
[1:09:07] consultations.
[1:09:09] >> Okay. To be continued, I
[1:09:11] guess.
[1:09:12] >> Thank you for doing that.
[1:09:13] Here is hoping it will be
[1:09:15] continued. The thing for me is
[1:09:17] people wonder why the RCI is a
[1:09:19] lengthy process. This is an
[1:09:22] unfortunate bump that is going
[1:09:23] to cost -- none of us wanted. We
[1:09:28] are going to have to get
[1:09:29] somebody else to do a
[1:09:30] consultation which takes time
[1:09:32] and which will drag out the
[1:09:33] process. Which is truly
[1:09:35] unfortunate. So this is what
[1:09:36] happens in this kind of process,
[1:09:38] which is not the fault of
[1:09:40] anybody but the fact that it is
[1:09:41] very difficult to get these
[1:09:42] things done in an immediate
[1:09:45] period of time, it is a shortage
[1:09:47] of people that can do
[1:09:49] consultations, people who go to
[1:09:51] tender, it is a lengthy process.
[1:09:54] Rest assured, I will push, and
[1:09:57] nagged, and complain until we
[1:09:58] get that final consultation.
[1:10:01] Because I feel personally that
[1:10:02] if we don't, we will have failed
[1:10:04] somewhat in the what we are
[1:10:05] trying -- in our objective here,
[1:10:07] thank you for your question.
[1:10:08] >> I just want to comment a
[1:10:10] little bit on what you said
[1:10:11] there. Nobody is at fault,
[1:10:16] because, sorry, and I believe
[1:10:19] that if the City had not
[1:10:21] interfered with the public
[1:10:23] consultations in the first place
[1:10:24] this wouldn't have been a
[1:10:26] problem at all. And I understand
[1:10:29] and appreciate the reasoning
[1:10:31] that is given. But in the back
[1:10:33] of my mind I've got to say that
[1:10:34] I am pretty concerned that
[1:10:37] throughout this whole process
[1:10:38] there is a very political aspect
[1:10:40] to it and I worry that that will
[1:10:44] end up -- who is moving these
[1:10:48] issues? There are no real
[1:10:49] judicial concerns and I do not
[1:10:54] understand how we ended up in
[1:10:55] this place unless there was a
[1:10:56] political aspect to it. That
[1:10:58] worries me a great deal. And I
[1:11:01] hope that we can see it through
[1:11:05] successfully. And I kind of was
[1:11:07] wondering since the public
[1:11:09] consultations that have already
[1:11:11] occurred, quite firmly, first
[1:11:13] and foremost over everything is
[1:11:15] said to preserve the forest.
[1:11:17] That was clear. Meeting after
[1:11:19] meeting. And to now have another
[1:11:23] consultation rally other
[1:11:25] politics, and what happens if
[1:11:27] you have conflicting arguments
[1:11:30] again, and what happens to the
[1:11:32] previous consultations which
[1:11:34] already had some considerable
[1:11:38] things to say? The conflicts and
[1:11:43] complications here could be and
[1:11:44] lists.
[1:11:45] >> Are you suggesting not to
[1:11:46] have the subsequent
[1:11:48] consultation?
[1:11:49] >> I'm not suggesting anything.
[1:11:51] I'm saying that by interfering
[1:11:53] with the process in the first
[1:11:55] place, I worry about it being
[1:11:57] political.
[1:11:58] >> Councillor Stork?
[1:12:01] >> I can assure you that there
[1:12:02] is no politics involved on my
[1:12:04] side of this equation.
[1:12:09] >> Thank you very much.
[1:12:11] >> Next name? Danielle?
[1:12:22] - On peut vous amenez le micro,
[1:12:23] si vous voulez.
[1:12:26] (inaudible)
[1:12:35] - Non, non, c'est bien. I am in
[1:12:40] the Municipal District of
[1:12:41] Councillor Eric, Stork. I really
[1:12:45] can only make it brief because
[1:12:47] we really don't have much time
[1:12:49] to have a discussion. But I
[1:12:51] would like to bring you the
[1:12:53] headlines. We will follow up. We
[1:12:56] were talking about the sauna
[1:12:59] question, whether it would be
[1:13:02] possible to reopen the male and
[1:13:05] female public saunas at the
[1:13:09] Pointe-Claire aquatic center. We
[1:13:13] met at the generals conference
[1:13:16] table a few weeks ago and we
[1:13:18] haven't received the latest
[1:13:20] report like what is the
[1:13:22] decision? Are we going to reopen
[1:13:25] it before the construction of
[1:13:28] the main floor lockers in 2026?
[1:13:33] Or are we going to look at every
[1:13:36] way possible to give the benefit
[1:13:40] to the public? I don't know who
[1:13:47] can answer.
[1:13:49] >> We have the expert in the
[1:13:51] room Mr. Gerard?
[1:13:55] >> For the saunas
[1:13:58] - Pour le centre aquatique,
[1:14:00] l'analyse est en cours avec le
[1:14:01] service des immeubles. On est en
[1:14:02] train de regarder également au
[1:14:04] niveau du CRS au pour voir ce
[1:14:07] qui pourrait être fait en termes
[1:14:09] de ressources pour activer les
[1:14:11] valeurs de ce côté-là. Dès qu'on
[1:14:12] a plus d'informations, je vais
[1:14:13] vous informer à ce sujet.
[1:14:15] - Merci.
[1:14:17] >> Thank you, I just have a few
[1:14:19] more points. Do sought me
[1:14:20] because I don't have -- I have
[1:14:24] the issue about the solar
[1:14:25] panels, yes. The micro grid
[1:14:29] networking of solar panels on
[1:14:33] the surface of the rooftops here
[1:14:37] in the municipality of
[1:14:39] Pointe-Claire Trans-Canada
[1:14:41] Highway from sources all the way
[1:14:43] to St. Charles boulevard. The
[1:14:47] proposal has been made to
[1:14:49] Service Canada to consider for
[1:14:52] an application to make it
[1:14:54] possible for us to fund ideally
[1:14:56] local young people from the
[1:14:59] municipality of Pointe-Claire to
[1:15:00] help us develop a renewable
[1:15:02] energy project that would best
[1:15:05] respond in a short term to the
[1:15:07] need for a backup. Emergency
[1:15:10] power that could be created with
[1:15:12] renewable energy, solar panels,
[1:15:15] wind turbines. But I did ask the
[1:15:21] City back in January, if we
[1:15:23] would have any support. I have
[1:15:26] not received any formal
[1:15:29] response, so I don't know what
[1:15:31] the position of the city's. In
[1:15:34] helping us create meaningful
[1:15:36] career opportunities for a new
[1:15:39] generation of young residents.
[1:15:42] Not only here in Pointe-Claire,
[1:15:45] but wherever we get a new
[1:15:48] generation of young families to
[1:15:52] move to Pointe-Claire, because
[1:15:54] they believe in Pointe-Claire's
[1:15:57] future. Tara spawned to the
[1:15:59] urgent need to look at how we
[1:16:02] can contribute to fight global
[1:16:06] climate change locally. We have
[1:16:09] this idea of having solar panels
[1:16:12] on industrial roof tops. I can't
[1:16:15] do it alone. We do need more
[1:16:20] support than what we have
[1:16:22] received over the last two
[1:16:24] months. I did make a call to the
[1:16:27] MP's Office, Francis carpal each
[1:16:29] of is responsible as our
[1:16:32] representative at the federal
[1:16:34] level. We have not received a
[1:16:36] call to meet with our MP. This
[1:16:39] is going into a month now. I
[1:16:42] don't think that is right, but
[1:16:44] maybe that is one way the City
[1:16:45] can help us get a meeting with
[1:16:46] our Federal representative. Much
[1:16:50] faster. Service Canada makes
[1:16:52] decisions for the region, we
[1:16:54] like that decision to benefit
[1:16:56] more Pointe-Claire residents.
[1:16:59] And it will only happen if we're
[1:17:01] take we work together on this
[1:17:02] project idea. So, that's just
[1:17:05] one thought here.
[1:17:07] >> I will give you one more,
[1:17:09] Mister. I will give you one
[1:17:11] extra. Because that's two. Do
[1:17:13] you want me to answer that at
[1:17:15] the moment or the second one? Do
[1:17:17] you want me to answer that right
[1:17:19] away --
[1:17:20] Tout de suite, je peux répondre
[1:17:21] tout de suite. >> You can
[1:17:22] because this is timely --
[1:17:23] >> I love your project. I mean,
[1:17:24] you recall in our meeting with
[1:17:26] us that we, the City actually
[1:17:28] applies for those, that funding
[1:17:30] ourselves. I think part of the
[1:17:32] concern was that if we supported
[1:17:34] yours, it would be in conflict
[1:17:36] with ours. I confess, I quite
[1:17:39] like yours. It may even be
[1:17:41] better. So, personally I quite
[1:17:44] like where your head is at and
[1:17:45] what you proposed. I like what I
[1:17:47] read, I thought it was good. I
[1:17:49] personally would sort. You know,
[1:17:50] I can't speak for everyone else
[1:17:52] and I can't speak for the city,
[1:17:53] but I quite liked what I read
[1:17:54] and what your initial -- was. We
[1:17:58] are simply applying for money
[1:17:59] from the federal government.
[1:18:00] It's like a Young Canada Works
[1:18:02] project, effectively giving you
[1:18:04] work in the environmental --
[1:18:06] environmental initiatives in the
[1:18:08] municipality. Am I correct? That
[1:18:10] was your objective?
[1:18:11] >> I didn't quite give the
[1:18:13] question but I think we're going
[1:18:14] into funding and not only a
[1:18:16] federal level, but also the
[1:18:18] municipal level. I found out
[1:18:20] maybe six months ago that the
[1:18:21] City does have a community
[1:18:24] development fund. But you have
[1:18:27] to make an application and I
[1:18:30] believe the meeting next meeting
[1:18:31] is in April.
[1:18:34] >> So make an application. Make
[1:18:35] an application. We
[1:18:38] >> Knowing that there is a
[1:18:41] possibility that there may be
[1:18:42] some money. I'm not talking, you
[1:18:45] know, a lot of money. But that's
[1:18:46] another way you can support the
[1:18:49] local community group that is
[1:18:50] trying to make this the initial
[1:18:54] two to develop a strategy to
[1:18:57] help us respond to the needs --
[1:19:00] >> So the answer to that is just
[1:19:01] send an email and we will pass
[1:19:03] it on, we will see what we can
[1:19:04] do. Your third question, and I'm
[1:19:06] giving you one extra here
[1:19:07] because --
[1:19:09] >> Okay, so there are 12
[1:19:11] questions here that I cannot
[1:19:12] follow up on --
[1:19:13] >> We've got to move on. Kind
[1:19:14] gentlemen to the right of you
[1:19:15] has a question.
[1:19:16] >> I will give you one more if I
[1:19:17] can, one more. But this is going
[1:19:19] back --
[1:19:20] >> Quick.
[1:19:21] >> We're going back three, four
[1:19:22] months now. Composting. Where I
[1:19:24] reside, we have no way of
[1:19:27] composting our food waste other
[1:19:28] than, you know, whatever small
[1:19:30] in the City of Pointe-Claire
[1:19:33] makes -- requests that you put
[1:19:34] under the kitchen sink. But once
[1:19:36] you have that filled up, there
[1:19:39] is no compost bin in our
[1:19:42] building where we can bring the
[1:19:45] compost to the building, right?
[1:19:46] So there is no, to my knowledge,
[1:19:49] bylaw that requires that owners
[1:19:52] of these municipal high-rise
[1:19:55] buildings to residential
[1:19:56] buildings, just think of all
[1:19:58] those on Hymus and St. John
[1:20:01] Boulevard. Where are they going
[1:20:02] to put all their food waste,
[1:20:04] right? There is one compost bin
[1:20:08] at the park down the road that
[1:20:11] is visible to the neighbourhood.
[1:20:15] But we have to go from our
[1:20:18] neighbourhood to another
[1:20:20] neighbourhood to bring our food
[1:20:22] waste. I thought, well, could we
[1:20:24] do better? Could we look at,
[1:20:26] could we not have a compost bin
[1:20:29] for every municipal district?
[1:20:31] And that district of ours, I
[1:20:34] think there is an ideal
[1:20:36] location, you know, public
[1:20:37] works, people do this, you know?
[1:20:40] The contractor that already has
[1:20:42] the rights could look at a
[1:20:45] recommended site and that would
[1:20:46] be between the building at 6500
[1:20:50] Trans-Canada Highway, lets the
[1:20:51] M.O. building, and our building,
[1:20:54] 17 -- because there's a pathway
[1:20:57] that's administered by the City
[1:20:58] of Pointe-Claire, park benches,
[1:21:02] lampposts, trees, shrubs.
[1:21:03] >> Okay, who knows.
[1:21:05] >> It's an ideal location.
[1:21:06] >> I'm going to pass it, I mean,
[1:21:08] composting and where to put it
[1:21:09] is a whole other issue but I
[1:21:10] will tell you, I will give you a
[1:21:12] personal example. I study, I did
[1:21:15] my PhD at Carleton, I lived in
[1:21:17] Ottawa for four years. Then I
[1:21:19] taught at RMC a Kingston, I
[1:21:21] lived in apartment buildings
[1:21:22] large apartment buildings both
[1:21:24] times. Ontario where 100 years
[1:21:26] ahead of us. As far as they had
[1:21:28] all that done in the buildings.
[1:21:30] Composting was done, you can
[1:21:31] divide it up and it was done --
[1:21:34] decade ago, more than that. This
[1:21:36] was at 95, as I recall. So, mind
[1:21:41] numbing that we are not there
[1:21:42] yet here in Pointe-Claire, I
[1:21:43] agree with you 100%. As to
[1:21:45] whether we can find places to
[1:21:46] put the compost in, is that what
[1:21:48] you're suggesting?
[1:21:49] >> Right.
[1:21:50] >> I will turn it over to Madame
[1:21:52] Verdun on that one. We
[1:22:04] -- It's more complicated than
[1:22:06] people think and it's something
[1:22:09] that is you have to take care by
[1:22:11] the owner also of the building.
[1:22:13] So, I can only tell you that we
[1:22:17] have tables -- Montréal to see
[1:22:19] what we can do not only for big
[1:22:21] buildings, for hospitals, -- we
[1:22:24] are working on that issue to be
[1:22:26] sure that each addition will
[1:22:28] have a compost solution in the
[1:22:30] future.
[1:22:31] >> Thank you.
[1:22:33] >> On that point, it would be
[1:22:36] great to know that the City of
[1:22:37] Pointe-Claire does support the
[1:22:40] environment committee. We've
[1:22:44] been trying to get an
[1:22:45] environment committee meeting
[1:22:47] open to the public since last
[1:22:52] summer. Sophie parity was at the
[1:22:55] time the coordinator
[1:22:58] communicating with me and others
[1:23:00] on the latest for the actions
[1:23:05] that are being taken considered
[1:23:07] by members of the Environment
[1:23:09] committee. I am told there is no
[1:23:12] set meeting now. Who can tell me
[1:23:15] when the City is going to commit
[1:23:17] to having regular monthly public
[1:23:20] meetings, so that we can work
[1:23:21] together and solve some major
[1:23:23] problems?
[1:23:24] >> Okay, well we have the two
[1:23:25] councillors sitting here who are
[1:23:26] on the environmental committee,
[1:23:28] so I will let them answer.
[1:23:29] >> There was just a complication
[1:23:31] with booking with all the
[1:23:32] transition, but we used to have
[1:23:34] monthly, bimonthly meetings. The
[1:23:36] next, I believe, is the first
[1:23:37] week of April. Yes, and we will
[1:23:39] go back to our regular
[1:23:41] scheduled. We have incredible
[1:23:43] individuals on that committee
[1:23:44] and I'm sure, so if you give
[1:23:45] your concerns to the committee
[1:23:47] members, it's not just drop in
[1:23:49] for public members, it's for
[1:23:50] those who've applied and went
[1:23:52] through an interview process to
[1:23:53] be on the committee. But if you
[1:23:54] have a desired topic, the
[1:23:57] committee will actually look at
[1:23:59] it. We have a various suction of
[1:24:02] areas of concern for residents
[1:24:04] that have been brought up that
[1:24:05] we try to address as we go
[1:24:07] along.
[1:24:08] >> -- It's a public invited?
[1:24:09] >> No.
[1:24:11] >> --
[1:24:12] >> Sorry, but you can talk to
[1:24:13] Gary -- tile him all of your
[1:24:14] wonderful ideas and he will
[1:24:15] bring it to the table.
[1:24:16] >> Councillor Tremblay, anything
[1:24:17] to add?
[1:24:21] >> Hi, my name is Gary spiller,
[1:24:23] I'm on the environment committee
[1:24:24] so I'm looking forward to the
[1:24:25] next meeting in April. I just
[1:24:28] like to cup -- I've been
[1:24:30] interacted with all the
[1:24:31] councillors and I have nothing
[1:24:33] but positive things in terms of
[1:24:35] my interaction. Mr. Councillor
[1:24:37] Bissonnette is my councillor. If
[1:24:38] I phone him up, he answers right
[1:24:40] away. Mayor that's great, Eric
[1:24:44] Stork I had a meeting with Mr.
[1:24:45] Cowan and Tara, I was at that,
[1:24:49] got a lot of information. And of
[1:24:50] course, Bruno and Mr. Tremblay
[1:24:54] -- Thorstad-Cullen on the or
[1:24:56] environmental committee, so
[1:24:57] we've had very good
[1:24:58] interactions. And we get good
[1:25:00] responses. I -- Daniel Lou tour
[1:25:03] about three weeks ago and he
[1:25:05] had, because I've had technical
[1:25:08] expertise in renewable energy as
[1:25:09] well as bio remediation,
[1:25:11] environmental issues like that.
[1:25:14] We were discussing the idea of
[1:25:17] rooftop solar potential. So, --
[1:25:20] specific rent, I would suggest
[1:25:23] that Pointe-Claire should have
[1:25:24] an inter governmental affairs
[1:25:25] minister. Or an officer
[1:25:28] responsible for liaising not
[1:25:29] only with other cities, which I
[1:25:31] think you do fairly well, but
[1:25:33] also with the provincial
[1:25:34] government and the federal.
[1:25:36] There is obviously a block
[1:25:38] there. There is difficulty with
[1:25:40] the provincial government. If
[1:25:41] there was one person we could go
[1:25:42] to, I agree with Mr. liqueur
[1:25:45] about access. Somebody we could
[1:25:47] call, that would be great. We
[1:25:48] had a very good meeting with the
[1:25:50] de G and Mr. Gerard in the mayor
[1:25:55] three weeks ago discussing Eric
[1:25:57] Stork's response about the
[1:25:58] saunas and we it was a very
[1:26:01] good, quick response.
[1:26:02] Technically feasible, there is
[1:26:03] no reason why they couldn't plug
[1:26:04] them in, for example. Mr. Gerard
[1:26:07] was supposed to respond to that.
[1:26:09] The problem was I wrote emails
[1:26:10] to them and no response. So,
[1:26:13] maybe we have to go through the
[1:26:15] Councillors, but I'm hoping to
[1:26:16] get a response. Mr. Gerard
[1:26:18] responded that he's working on
[1:26:19] it. The DG was talking about
[1:26:22] giving us a contact from
[1:26:23] Hydro-Québec because if you look
[1:26:24] at the Hydro-Québec website,
[1:26:26] it's not pro solar. It says it
[1:26:28] takes 28 years to pay off your
[1:26:31] solar bill, which isn't true. In
[1:26:33] Ontario, it's seven years. You
[1:26:34] just look at Ontario, there's
[1:26:36] rooftop solar everywhere. And
[1:26:38] the Québec Hydro-Québec website
[1:26:40] does not have anything about
[1:26:42] commercial solar. It's all
[1:26:43] residential. So, Mr. liqueur has
[1:26:46] introduced us to a two day
[1:26:48] seminar tomorrow, if anyone is
[1:26:50] interested, we can give you the
[1:26:51] details. It is online and they
[1:26:52] are going to be talking about
[1:26:53] those issues. Hydro-Québec is
[1:26:55] talking on Thursday. -- First
[1:26:59] question is, the DG, if she has
[1:27:01] found a contact of Hydro-Québec,
[1:27:03] we would really like to have it.
[1:27:05] If you would like to think about
[1:27:07] this inter governmental affair
[1:27:08] officer, the one stop shop that
[1:27:10] we could phone her through our
[1:27:12] Councillors perhaps to get
[1:27:14] answers on what grants are
[1:27:16] available, how we can work
[1:27:17] together, and we have a lot of
[1:27:18] ideas and input. Not just
[1:27:20] through the environment
[1:27:21] committee, but through people in
[1:27:22] the community in general. So, we
[1:27:24] would really like to work with
[1:27:26] you to solve these problems and
[1:27:27] the last thing was Eric Stork
[1:27:30] mentioned and we discussed last
[1:27:31] week the this building, this
[1:27:34] green elephant in the court of
[1:27:35] Ashton and Hymus has been
[1:27:37] sitting there. I remember when
[1:27:38] it was I and our S O. It was a
[1:27:40] Québec research building --
[1:27:42] apparently there is a
[1:27:43] contamination problem. Somebody
[1:27:45] should be looking into that with
[1:27:46] a provincial government. They
[1:27:47] should be responsible. Doesn't
[1:27:48] matter if they don't own it
[1:27:50] anymore. They were the ones who
[1:27:53] contaminated it, then they
[1:27:54] should be responsible for
[1:27:55] cleaning it up. So, there needs
[1:27:56] to be test done and again, I
[1:27:58] would get after, I would be
[1:28:00] willing to go after the
[1:28:01] provincial government if you
[1:28:02] want.
[1:28:03] >> Go, man, go. I give you all
[1:28:06] my encouragement. Councillor
[1:28:08] Stork?
[1:28:09] >> If they don't have it, I have
[1:28:11] the West Island Hydro-Québec
[1:28:13] commercial contact.
[1:28:17] >> Hydro-Québec?
[1:28:21] Vous avez le nom de quelqu'un?
[1:28:22] >> No, I don't have a name right
[1:28:24] now. You know, I'm talking with
[1:28:26] Hydro-Québec, what the earth
[1:28:29] specific generic email that they
[1:28:30] gave me. I don't think it's the
[1:28:31] one that you have and it's a
[1:28:33] very specific, you know, program
[1:28:36] that they have. So even if we
[1:28:37] speak with my personal, you
[1:28:39] know, contact. We still are
[1:28:41] fighting. If you didn't answer
[1:28:43] you is because I didn't have the
[1:28:44] right --
[1:28:45] >> It's okay, I will send with a
[1:28:46] name on Thursday at noon but
[1:28:47] please, if I send you an email,
[1:28:48] please respond or --
[1:28:50] >> Yeah, but you haven't sent me
[1:28:52] an email, maybe in person.
[1:28:53] >> If you could do that that
[1:28:54] would be great, thanks.
[1:28:56] >>
[1:28:57] >> We also sent an email to mark
[1:28:58] Israel, the head of the manager,
[1:29:00] he didn't respond either.
[1:29:01] Because they walled Tucson is in
[1:29:03] there and we'd like to look at
[1:29:04] the possibilities of opening
[1:29:06] them up. They said it was too
[1:29:08] dangerous for children. I don't
[1:29:10] know. We
[1:29:11] >> It was spring break -- a lot
[1:29:14] of people were on vacation, so
[1:29:16] there could've been some delays
[1:29:17] an email.
[1:29:18] >> Okay, thanks.
[1:29:20] >> That being said, oh sorry,
[1:29:22] brand. Look, I just like to
[1:29:24] thank you for the positive
[1:29:25] energy on some of these very
[1:29:26] difficult issues. I think you
[1:29:27] spoke very well, appreciate it.
[1:29:31] >> I'd like to talk to Susan
[1:29:34] Weaver. I think the first time
[1:29:36] that I saw you action was
[1:29:39] against about 15 years ago when
[1:29:41] you were an activist trying to
[1:29:43] protect Pointe-Claire with the
[1:29:49] Rogers power that was going to
[1:29:51] go into Beck Park. Because of
[1:29:53] your action and your tough
[1:29:55] questions, maybe not because of,
[1:29:57] but certainly contributed to,
[1:29:59] there's no cell tower in back
[1:30:01] Park. I want to thank you for
[1:30:03] that. I would also like to point
[1:30:05] out that Mr. Kilpatrick, when he
[1:30:07] came here, he came here because
[1:30:09] he believes that he suffered an
[1:30:11] injustice on the part of the
[1:30:12] city. I think that if he's going
[1:30:15] to be a bit emotional and angry
[1:30:16] about that, that's quite
[1:30:18] understandable and to suggest
[1:30:20] that the citizen who's coming
[1:30:22] before Council to present the
[1:30:26] case against an injustice he
[1:30:28] feels he is suffering, to say
[1:30:30] that that individual is a plant
[1:30:33] is absurd.
[1:30:35] >> If that individual has been
[1:30:36] given an email, a personal
[1:30:39] internal email, it is a plant.
[1:30:42] Could we carry on here? We
[1:30:46] >> Yeah.
