[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

[13:06] facilitate participation, so

[13:08] please sign up. We are asking

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

[13:12] participate in the development

[13:13] of our city. Thank you for

[13:15] registering. Les vendredi 29

[13:21] mars et lundi 1er avril, la

[13:23] plupart de nos bâtiments seront

[13:24] fermés ou auront un horaire

[13:27] irrégulier. On Friday, March

[14:03] is it. We will now be moving to

[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.
