[7:12] Il continue d'être insistants ou
[7:14] insistante de services
[7:16] d'inspection de Sécurité
[7:17] publique peut intervenir.
[7:19] >> I wish to remind our citizens
[7:21] that any door-to-door salutes
[7:22] stations or sales of goods and
[7:25] services requires a valid petal
[7:27] license issued by the City. This
[7:29] reminder has become necessary
[7:32] awesome -- from vendors offering
[7:33] services such as attic or
[7:35] residential drain inspections.
[7:37] Some are cleaning a certain type
[7:39] of installation, the City has
[7:41] rules of regulations. They use
[7:43] the city as an excuse to come
[7:46] and -- inspect your insulation.
[7:47] The other, they are requiring
[7:49] three quarter inch plywood
[7:50] instead of half it blight would
[7:52] and I have to check the plywood
[7:53] in the roof. Beware of all this
[7:55] stuff. It has been frequent in
[7:56] the last couple weeks. We will
[7:58] remind you that you are under no
[7:59] obligation to open your door to
[8:01] anyone. If you decide to do, so
[8:03] it is your responsibility to
[8:04] ensure that the person visiting
[8:05] your home is authorized to
[8:08] operate in the territory. I
[8:10] would recommend that you ask the
[8:12] -- to show you their license, if
[8:13] they can provided, you should be
[8:15] on guard. When, and out you have
[8:17] the right to refuse access to
[8:18] your home to anyone. You can
[8:20] also call the inspection public
[8:22] security department to check
[8:23] whether a company has obtained a
[8:27] patrollers license for the
[8:28] service require. If the season
[8:30] has no, permit public security
[8:31] can be asked to intervene, the
[8:33] solicitation becomes too
[8:35] invasive or persistent. Thank
[8:37] you for your attention. Madame
[8:44] Thibault!

[10:12] Your name is called. We shall

[10:14] limit for question period, one
[10:16] person at a time at the

[10:19] waiting for a citizen to finish
[10:20] asking their question and being
[10:22] called before you get up to ask
[10:23] yours. You get priority to
[10:26] Pointe-Claire residents, non
[10:27] residents can ask their
[10:28] questions afterwards, if time
[10:30] hasn't run out. And to start, we
[10:32] will begin with Mr. --.
[10:40] >> Good evening. Mister Mayor,
[10:42] at the last councillor meeting,
[10:46] I contradicted you concerning
[10:48] the filling of potholes on the
[10:52] westbound ramp to the 20 coming
[10:55] south of Saint-Jean. You said
[10:59] the work had been done. Well, I
[11:01] said it hadn't because I went by
[11:03] there in the morning. But I was
[11:06] so arrogance that it couldn't
[11:08] have been done because I've seen
[11:09] it not done for so long. I said
[11:12] it wasn't done. I went back and
[11:15] checked. I was full of it,
[11:17] excuse the language. But that's
[11:19] me. I really apologize and I'm
[11:22] sorry to have said so much.
[11:24] >> Thank you very much. No
[11:27] worries.
[11:28] >> I have a question concerning
[11:31] the aquatic centre. I know last
[11:32] week, it was mentioned. And
[11:35] Madame Verdun said that the
[11:38] project most likely will have
[11:40] been not this year but in 2026.
[11:45] My concern is, are we thinking
[11:47] so big that we are going to
[11:50] revamp the thing beyond
[11:54] recognition? Because from my
[11:56] point of view, from one point of
[11:58] view, I agree, the aquatic
[12:01] centre is fantastic the way it
[12:03] is. I feel it, it meets all the
[12:06] needs. It's very popular. Yes,
[12:09] it's busy. There are things that
[12:11] are run down the need to be
[12:13] fixed, yeah. But does there have
[12:16] to be a major, major ongoing
[12:19] thing?
[12:20] >> From my understanding, it is
[12:22] not that major. I will ask
[12:24] Madame Verdun. Would you call it
[12:26] a major renovation?
[12:27] >> The renovation we have to do
[12:28] it all the locker rooms, the
[12:30] three locker rooms, is because
[12:31] we have -- problems with
[12:33] accessibility. We have to redo
[12:34] and revamp all the locker rooms
[12:37] to enlarge rooms to make sure
[12:39] that they are accessible to
[12:41] everybody. So that is the scale
[12:43] of the project that we have.
[12:45] >> Is it likely to happen next
[12:47] year or is it going to be pushed
[12:49] off?
[12:52] >> I cannot answer that for now,
[12:55] which exactly will be that.
[12:57] Project
[12:58] >> Will we find out at the
[12:59] budget?
[13:01] >> I doubt that. That kind of
[13:06] project, it is what we call the
[13:08] --. PQ et. She surely we adopt
[13:11] it in October, November each
[13:12] year.
[13:14] You will know next October or
[13:16] November, at the meeting.
[13:18] >> Okay. I'm going to be very
[13:20] patient. Thank you.
[13:24] >> Janet Hannah?
[13:34] >> Good evening, mayor Tim
[13:35] Thomas and Council members.
[13:37] During the last council meeting,
[13:38] I asked about transparency with
[13:40] regards to the 25 million
[13:43] expense for the renovation of
[13:44] public works, to which I did not
[13:46] get an answer. I asked about
[13:49] transparency in general.
[13:51] Essentially, I'm trying to
[13:53] understand where my taxpayer
[13:55] money is going. So, my first
[13:58] question to you is, do you
[14:00] intend to make public a detailed
[14:03] account of spending of our, are
[14:06] we the people, tax dollars?
[14:08] >> Yes and we do all the time.
[14:13] >> It is not on the website.
[14:15] There are no details of the
[14:17] suppliers. There are no details
[14:19] of the labour costs, there are
[14:21] no details of anything with
[14:23] regards to the renovation,
[14:26] unless I missed it. If it is on
[14:27] there and we have the bills and
[14:29] we have the details of
[14:30] everything, because you did say
[14:31] in June 2023 that you are
[14:34] actually going to put it up on
[14:35] the internet, on the website.
[14:37] But it's not on. There I didn't
[14:38] see it. If it is, correct me.
[14:41] But if you can't, make it public
[14:43] in the agenda and say exactly
[14:45] where it is on the website,
[14:47] where the details are, the
[14:49] suppliers, the supplies, the raw
[14:51] materials costs, the labour
[14:55] costs. All of those details, and
[14:58] nothing is on the internet
[15:00] regarding that. I haven't
[15:02] finished yet. Hold on a second
[15:04] please. Looking back at the
[15:06] video of the question period,
[15:09] you quoted Thomas hobnob's, who
[15:12] once wrote, without Levi thin,
[15:15] life would be nasty, brutish and
[15:18] short. You used the term levy
[15:21] Ethan in your explanation of why
[15:23] it is necessary to play so many
[15:26] taxes. To be honest, I had to
[15:28] look at that word to understand
[15:30] it's meaning in the context that
[15:32] it was used. The definition I
[15:35] found is coiled or twisted.
[15:38] Please explain what you meant
[15:40] when you used leviathan in the
[15:43] context of our meeting to pay
[15:45] taxes.
[15:46] >> The leviathan was a
[15:49] corrective -- collected decision
[15:50] by people in society to be
[15:53] governed. Governance is the
[15:55] leviathan. Without the
[15:56] leviathan, without governance,
[15:57] if we are left to our own
[15:59] devices, we are lord of the
[16:01] flies. Life will be nasty,
[16:03] route-ish and short. In other
[16:05] words, we willingly have
[16:06] government and we willingly
[16:08] submitted taxes and pay and
[16:10] sharing expenses for services
[16:11] that will be good for us all
[16:13] because we collectively realize
[16:14] that we are better off for doing
[16:16] so. That's what he was referring
[16:17] to.
[16:18] >> And the services that you are
[16:20] referring to, for example of the
[16:22] garbage collection, garbage
[16:23] collection is only collected,
[16:25] used to be collected weekly, no
[16:28] longer. So now it's collected
[16:29] weekly from June to mid August.
[16:31] And from mid August to June,
[16:33] it's every other week. Do we
[16:35] have less? You are kids plus? Do
[16:37] we have less garbage from August
[16:39] to June? You are cutting
[16:41] services, you are increasing
[16:43] taxes and you are referring, you
[16:44] are saying that you manage
[16:45] money, you are managing our
[16:47] money. How could you be managing
[16:48] our money and cutting services
[16:50] and there is the chestnut street
[16:53] of the lady who spoke, 18 years
[16:55] they've been waiting for that
[16:56] streak to be repaired. 18 years.
[16:59] They are in danger of walking
[17:00] around and yet you've dumped $25
[17:03] million in the renovation of a
[17:06] building and we have no details
[17:08] of the renovation of that
[17:10] building.
[17:11] >> Okay. You've now had quite a
[17:12] few preamble's and you've
[17:13] already had two questions. Can I
[17:15] answer that one?
[17:16] >> Absolutely, go ahead.
[17:17] >> I will allow you maybe one
[17:19] more, but you've already had to.
[17:21] >> Go ahead.
[17:24] >> The expenditure on the Public
[17:26] Works is entirely justifiable
[17:28] because we have simply the
[17:29] finest public works possibly in
[17:31] the Montréal region, maybe in
[17:33] all of Québec. They provide a
[17:36] vital, crucial service. They
[17:40] plow our roads, they look after
[17:41] us physically so that we are
[17:43] safe, when we travel, when we
[17:45] commute, when we do whatever you
[17:46] want to, do when we, walk
[17:47] whatever, with public works,
[17:48] they solve the sidewalks, they
[17:50] look after us. Garbage
[17:52] collection is crucial for the
[17:54] public's health and safety.
[17:55] These things are crucial. And
[17:57] the decision. So I think, also,
[18:00] by investing in our own private
[18:02] -- public works, we are becoming
[18:03] autonomy as a city.
[18:04] >> That's wonderful. All of that
[18:05] is great. I'm asking about the
[18:07] transparency.
[18:08] >> Excuse, me I'm not finished.
[18:09] Miss Hannah, I'm going to have
[18:10] to ask you to stop or you are
[18:12] going to have to let me finish
[18:13] talking. You've already had two
[18:15] questions. I graciously allowed
[18:17] you another. I will give you one
[18:18] when I'm finished talking. You
[18:19] will have a rebuttal.
[18:20] >> Go ahead.
[18:22] >> Okay. For garbage, garbage is
[18:24] because in society we are
[18:26] hopefully becoming, we are going
[18:27] to use composting and recycling
[18:30] more than we use garbage. There
[18:32] has been a shift in our
[18:34] practices as citizens, how we
[18:36] function and how we use, we are
[18:38] more conscious. Now we have less
[18:40] need for garbage collection.
[18:42] Then we used to. And we should
[18:43] have greater use of composting
[18:46] and recycling. Hence, we don't
[18:48] need as much garbage collection.
[18:49] It is just a function of how we
[18:51] function as a society. That is
[18:53] why, that explains the garbage
[18:55] collection. Do you have a
[18:56] subsequent question?
[18:57] >> I'm asking about First the
[19:00] transparency. Where is the
[19:02] transparency?
[19:03] >> We publish.
[19:04] >> We don't see it on the
[19:05] internet. Where is it on the
[19:06] internet? And in regards to
[19:08] garbage, garbage, I'm sorry to
[19:09] tell, you but from our pets and
[19:11] from our babies and from our
[19:14] seniors does not get reduced.
[19:16] That does not get reduced. The
[19:18] population is exactly the same.
[19:21] So we are generating in terms of
[19:23] garbage exactly the same as we
[19:25] were before. You are probably
[19:27] not asking people in real life
[19:29] who have these situations what
[19:32] their garbage content is. You
[19:35] are cutting services, not
[19:38] providing and increasing taxes.
[19:39] But more importantly, the
[19:42] transparency question. Where and
[19:44] when are you going to make
[19:46] public the details of the
[19:51] expenses? Whether it be for the
[19:52] $25 million or whether it be for
[19:55] the nonprofit organizations. We
[19:57] just want transparency. When are
[19:59] you going to be more
[20:00] transparent?
[20:01] >> They are always published.
[20:02] You can get them anytime. You
[20:03] can access the information. We
[20:05] have all those -- excuse, me I'm
[20:07] answering now. That's it. This
[20:09] is gracious. Those figures are
[20:12] all published. They are all
[20:15] available. You can get all of
[20:16] that, how much we give to
[20:18] nonprofit corporations,
[20:20] associations and clubs. It's all
[20:22] documented and all published and
[20:23] all completely transparent. Our
[20:26] director of Finance has given
[20:28] presentations detailing all our
[20:31] expenditures. Many, many times.
[20:32] It's very thorough, very
[20:34] concise. From what I gather from
[20:36] what you're asking, which is to
[20:38] list all the suppliers, every
[20:40] single public transaction, you
[20:42] will have a document of 4000
[20:44] pages, from what you are
[20:46] specify. Now, you may be able to
[20:47] get a document of 4000 pages.
[20:49] But we won't be giving it to
[20:50] every citizen in the city. That
[20:52] is simply not a good use of
[20:53] resources and not rests --
[20:55] necessary. If you wish for more
[20:57] detail, you can inquire. You can
[20:58] acquire. It's all documented and
[21:00] it's all transparent. There is
[21:02] no lacking in transparency.
[21:04] >> It's all the residents.
[21:06] >> I don't hear that. What we
[21:09] give --
[21:10] >> I'm saying. If
[21:11] >> You are saying. It
[21:12] >> I'm saying. It I'm a resident
[21:13] of the city. I represent a lot
[21:14] of people.
[21:15] >> Miss Hannah, I think we are
[21:17] done here. Thank you. Catherine,
[21:25] is it all over? Thank you,
[21:30] Cathy.
[21:34] >> Good evening.
[21:41] Thanks. So, good evening. I
[21:43] don't actually have -- is that
[21:47] okay? I don't actually have a
[21:48] question. I just wanted to say
[21:51] that I haven't been living here
[21:53] long, just lightly over here. I
[21:55] wanted to say how wonderful I
[21:58] think that expo science
[22:00] presentation was. I took my --
[22:06] two of my grandchildren, ages
[22:07] six and eight. And we spent
[22:10] practically a whole afternoon
[22:13] there. They never asked to go
[22:15] home. They were entranced with
[22:16] the whole thing. I thought it
[22:18] was amazing. I just wanted to
[22:20] say thank you and congrats to
[22:25] whoever has been organizing
[22:26] that.
[22:27] >> Thank you very much for that.
[22:29] It's organized out of Stewart
[22:30] Hall and it's with Concordia.
[22:33] They've been doing it for
[22:34] sometime now. How many years?
[22:35] Does anybody know? More than
[22:41] five?
[22:42] >> More than ten. But exactly
[22:43] the number of years, we don't
[22:44] know.
[22:45] >> Anyhow, it's in affiliation
[22:46] with Concordia. If you have
[22:48] children interested in science,
[22:49] even if they aren't, it's not to
[22:51] be missed. It's a wonderful
[22:52] event. I always attend it. They
[22:53] are enthusiastic, the students
[22:55] are marvellous. It's a really
[22:56] good event. Thank you so much
[22:58] for that. I appreciate that. 20
[23:02] years? Okay, okay. Thank you.
[23:10] Yvon Cabana.
[23:28] - Bonsoir. Moi, je viens au
[23:33] sujet
[23:34] (inaudible)
[23:35] d'Hydro-Québec en
[23:36] (inaudible)
[23:37] de l'hôpital. Parce qu'il tort
[23:38] au Québec a coupé beaucoup
[23:40] d'arbres. Ils ont dit tous à
[23:44] terre. Maintenant, il n'y a pas
[23:45] de problème de feux, mais au
[23:47] printemps, quand ça va être sec,
[23:50] ça risque de partir en feu avec
[23:53] tous les jeux qu'on a eus dans
[23:56] leur, c'est une question qu'il
[23:57] faut adresser à Hydro-Québec et
[23:58] on a vu qui ramasse un peu tout
[24:00] ça en hiver et qu'il émet notre
[24:05] conscience de tout ça... mais
[24:07] pour ça, moi, un petit citoyen
[24:09] n'a aucun poids. Le représentant
[24:12] de 30000 personnes à un peu plus
[24:14] de poids. À Hydro-Québec...
[24:20] voilà. C'était ma question.
[24:21] - Qu'est-ce que tu veux
[24:22] expliquer un peu plus qu'est-ce
[24:23] qui se passe et quels qu'ils
[24:25] avaient fait.
[24:28] (inaudible)
[24:29] - Et l'hôpital il y a trois
[24:32] lignes d'obtentions et
[24:34] Hydro-Québec a coupé des arbres,
[24:36] le représentant d'Hydro-Québec.
[24:38] Ils ont coupé des arbres. Tout
[24:40] est resté là.
[24:43] - Je ne savais pas, O.K....
[24:45] Madame Verdon, est-ce que...
[24:53] - Est-ce que vous pouvez
[24:54] demander à Hydro-Québec qu'il
[24:56] nettoie tout ça?
[24:57] - Oui, je peux faire la demande
[24:58] à Hydro-Québec, mais ce n'est
[24:59] pas dans les habitudes
[25:00] d'Hydro-Québec de ramasser les
[25:01] billots. Habituellement, il
[25:02] laisse, là et laisse la nature
[25:03] se régénérer par-dessus.
[25:06] - Oui, à qui... merci!
[25:11] Joël est bonne année.
[25:12] - Pareillement, merci beaucoup!
[25:16] Susan Weaver?
[25:28] >> Thank you. Okay. At the last
[25:30] two council meetings, I asked
[25:31] you about the city car that you
[25:34] had up north. You are using it
[25:35] for personal pleasure. I was not
[25:38] satisfied with your answers.
[25:40] They were inconsistent and
[25:42] incorrect. I have follow-up
[25:44] questions. I asked you about the
[25:46] deductible penalties in the
[25:48] contract you designed, and you
[25:50] had said that you had never
[25:51] signed any contract. I have a
[25:54] copy of the contract with your
[25:55] signature which I will submit to
[25:57] the clerk. I have page eight of
[26:00] eight. And I would like
[26:02] clarification as to when the
[26:04] accident occurred. It's written
[26:05] on the insurance report, date of
[26:08] loss, for 6:24, date of report,
[26:15] 4724. -- 7th of April 2024,
[26:21] 1:00, when I am I imagine. It is
[26:25] very confusing as to when it
[26:27] happened and what it was
[26:29] reported. To backup your
[26:31] description of the event from
[26:32] the last council meeting, I
[26:34] would like to see a police
[26:36] report. Will you provide the
[26:38] police report at a follow-up
[26:40] meeting?
[26:41] >> Mrs. Weaver, the City of
[26:43] Pointe-Claire is getting pretty
[26:44] tired of this. But I will ask
[26:46] you to submit that. I would like
[26:47] to see that because I don't
[26:49] think that's true, what you have
[26:50] just said. And I want to verify
[26:52] that myself. Absolutely, 100%.
[26:55] As for the details, you'd have
[26:56] to ask the police. They did all
[26:58] the documentation, they did all
[26:59] the recording of the incident.
[27:01] Whatever is recorded as recorded
[27:03] by the police. And that is their
[27:06] responsibility and they are the
[27:07] ones that recorded it. I have
[27:08] nothing to do with that. That is
[27:09] a provincial or OPP or CUPE,
[27:13] whatever it is, report. Whoever
[27:16] was patrolling who documented
[27:18] the accident. -- By the way,
[27:20] everybody, this is the fourth
[27:21] time I have had to explain it.
[27:24] Anyhow, as far as that goes,
[27:26] it's been asked and answered,
[27:27] Miss Weaver. That's all I'm
[27:28] going to say on this matter.
[27:29] >> Well, a police report --
[27:31] >> Miss Weaver, that's all I'm
[27:32] going to say on this matter.
[27:33] >> The police report.
[27:34] >> Thank you very much. Excuse,
[27:36] me Miss Weaver. Excuse me, Miss
[27:39] Weaver. This has been asked and
[27:41] answered, missed -- Miss Weaver.
[27:44] Okay, second question.
[27:45] >> Okay. What happened to the
[27:46] deer? Did you report it?
[27:48] >> Asked and answered, I've
[27:50] already spoken to this on
[27:52] numerous occasions, Mrs. Weaver.
[27:53] We are done. Okay? We are done.
[27:56] Asked and answered. We are done.
[28:04] Éloïse Bernier.
[28:07] >> Good evening, Mayor Thomas.
[28:09] I've been here listening to you
[28:10] talk about how great the public
[28:13] works staff are and how
[28:15] important they are. I would like
[28:17] to know, on August 9th,
[28:20] considering that there were
[28:21] predictions of extraordinarily
[28:25] -- extraordinary rainfall, how
[28:26] many were asked to be on standby
[28:30] in case of emergency?
[28:34] >> I can't give you that. Do we
[28:36] have the detail on the? No? How
[28:38] many were on standby. It's a
[28:39] very good question.
[28:40] >> I think I have the answer. I
[28:41] think it was none.
[28:44] >> I can't --
[28:45] >> I find disappointing.
[28:46] >> That's your answer. We can
[28:48] find out another answer. I can
[28:49] research it.
[28:50] >> I hope it is different.
[28:51] >> Okay.
[28:52] >> My second question is,
[28:54] considering there is less than a
[28:57] year, I believe, until the next
[28:58] election, where were you on
[28:59] August 9th and how did you
[29:01] demonstrate your leadership in
[29:02] this emergency situation for
[29:05] citizens?
[29:06] >> You are referring, of course,
[29:07] to the fact that I was doing a
[29:08] fund-raiser for a charitable
[29:10] organization in the city that
[29:11] evening? Is that -- that's what
[29:17] I was doing. We've already
[29:18] spoken to that many times this
[29:20] year. I was doing a fund-raiser
[29:22] for why. I've been doing it for
[29:24] roughly 20 years. It's a
[29:26] fund-raiser I have done and I am
[29:28] the organizer. I was working the
[29:30] door and collecting the money at
[29:32] the door and supervising the
[29:35] experience. As the evening
[29:39] transpired, we'd already been
[29:40] through this at the first act.
[29:42] And into the second act, in the
[29:44] final act, there were some
[29:46] reports that there was some
[29:48] flooding going on -- myself, a
[29:54] whole bunch of politicians were
[29:55] there. We were all becoming
[29:57] aware of it as the show is going
[29:59] on. We quickly, like I expedited
[30:02] it. Some of them left, some of
[30:04] them stayed. We didn't -- some
[30:07] people were -- we didn't really
[30:09] know the severity until the next
[30:11] day. Not everybody knew. In
[30:13] hindsight, it's 2020. Nobody
[30:15] knew it was going to be like
[30:16] that. Anyhow, I expedited the
[30:19] show and got home and got on the
[30:22] phone and try to find out what
[30:24] happened. Next morning, I went
[30:25] out and visited the worst areas
[30:27] in the city. That's pretty much
[30:29] what transpired.
[30:31] >> Thank you.
[30:32] >> Thank you. Linda Dumas? Okay.
[30:45] Audrey lapine.
[30:53] >> Hi, good evening. I have a
[30:56] question related to an incident
[30:59] on November 11th where we had
[31:02] some overflow of the, I guess,
[31:07] the water system out near
[31:11] terracotta. My husband and I
[31:16] have our normal morning routine,
[31:18] came home, found our basement
[31:20] was flooded in pretty much the
[31:23] same way it was during the
[31:24] August night event. And so, what
[31:29] I'm interested to know is what
[31:31] action plan the City is working
[31:34] on to eliminate this from
[31:38] happening again. As you can
[31:40] imagine, we have concerns about
[31:42] resale value of our house.
[31:45] Rumour is getting out that this
[31:46] is a flood area that constantly
[31:48] floods and a property devaluing.
[31:54] So I understand, correct me if
[31:56] I'm wrong, I understand it this
[31:58] has been an issue with the water
[32:01] flow regime in that area for
[32:03] probably a decade. And I would
[32:06] love to be educated a little bit
[32:07] more about that. And I
[32:12] understand there was a major
[32:13] blockage that has been cleared.
[32:15] I am curious to know where that
[32:17] blockage was and what was
[32:21] blocking it. I imagine it was
[32:22] trees, debris, stuff like that.
[32:26] Yeah, I really want to know what
[32:28] the City intends to do so this
[32:30] doesn't happen again. We are
[32:33] very concerned as homeowners and
[32:35] being able to sell our house and
[32:36] eventually in the future --
[32:37] >> And I understand. We have
[32:39] actually devoted sometime to
[32:40] the. And I will let Madame
[32:42] Verdun speak to. That because
[32:44] I've done considerable, given it
[32:47] considerable attention.
[32:48] >> I would add that, fortunately
[32:53] we had not started the repairs
[32:55] in our basement from the
[32:57] previous flood. We were very
[32:59] fortunate we did not have
[33:00] additional damage. Because
[33:02] everybody is booked up until
[33:04] next spring. But yeah,
[33:08] fortunately there was no
[33:09] additional damage.
[33:10] >> Just to clarify, what is --
[33:15] what street do you stay?
[33:16] >> On. Belmont
[33:17] >> On Belmont. We have a
[33:20] blockage that we have from the
[33:21] City of Montréal in the
[33:25] Terra-Cotta park. We have a big
[33:27] ditch that is part of the
[33:30] agglomeration system.
[33:32] Unfortunately, with all of the
[33:34] leaves and the branches, the
[33:38] density, there with the last
[33:39] time, we have a blockage so we
[33:42] clean the pipe and now we are
[33:45] doing investigations to see if
[33:47] something else is causing that.
[33:48] But I can assure you that right
[33:50] now, all the pipes are clean
[33:52] from the Terra-Cotta Park until
[33:55] the lake St. Louis. We are in
[33:59] the -- talking with the City of
[34:01] Montréal, what we can do with
[34:03] that beach, with the time, add
[34:07] more water and stuff like that.
[34:08] So if you want, you can leave me
[34:09] your email address and phone
[34:11] number and I can contact you
[34:13] tomorrow to expand more detail.
[34:15] >> That would be great, yeah. I
[34:16] would say as well, we are
[34:18] incurring a cost that we are
[34:20] putting in a new sub pomp --
[34:24] pump, I don't know how much
[34:26] horsepower, my husband has the
[34:28] details, and changing the way
[34:29] that the water exits our house.
[34:31] We are incurring additional
[34:34] expenses to secure ourselves in
[34:36] case it does happen again,
[34:37] right? That's why want to know
[34:41] an action plan. That would be
[34:43] good.
[34:44] >> No problem.
[34:45] >> Okay.
[34:46] >> Can I just say one thing?
[34:47] >> Go ahead.
[34:50] >> We are also looking at doing
[34:52] a regular maintenance. That was
[34:53] my understanding. That's what I
[34:55] write to citizens who wrote to
[34:56] me, it has been cleared out all
[34:58] the way down to the lake. We
[34:59] will be looking at having a
[35:01] regular contract to ensure this
[35:03] doesn't happen again. Because
[35:05] it's more urgent than just
[35:07] routes. It was trunks, it was
[35:10] all sorts of things that went
[35:12] down there. It was quite
[35:13] surprising because there wasn't
[35:14] a lot of rain. I let the city
[35:18] know a soon as I was made aware
[35:20] of it. We are finally getting a
[35:24] conversation with the
[35:25] agglomeration about the general
[35:27] long term plan for the ditch,
[35:29] for the grid. How we can
[35:32] reconfigure it. We've been
[35:33] looking at this way too long.
[35:35] But I think everyone is aware of
[35:36] it now so I would like, if you
[35:40] give Madame Verdun your email,
[35:42] she will be in contact with you
[35:44] also.
[35:46] [Inaudible]
[35:59] >> Natural derby?
[36:09] >> Good evening. You ran, Mister
[36:13] Mayor, for a platform on
[36:16] transparency. That was one of
[36:21] your platforms. What we are
[36:23] asking, really, everything like
[36:26] innovation and building, to be
[36:28] on the website so we know.
[36:31] Because a few months ago, you
[36:33] paid one point $7 million for
[36:36] the renovation of the library --
[36:40] three days. Like the lady just
[36:45] said, the street for how many
[36:47] years it's going to be done?
[36:51] Transparency, if you put
[36:52] everything on the website, the
[36:55] plan, see them when they do it
[36:57] before and after. And what
[36:59] exactly it's going to be so we
[37:02] know all this money we are
[37:04] spending, we know what is going
[37:06] where. From 2017 to 2023, our
[37:12] taxes increased almost 60%. I
[37:17] know, it's really -- if you go
[37:21] further, and the value of the
[37:23] house went up from 30 years
[37:26] almost seven times. And the
[37:28] reason is because the city
[37:31] doesn't plan for building single
[37:35] houses or a duplex or -- all the
[37:39] care about his high rise condos
[37:40] because the city makes more
[37:41] money with that. But the
[37:43] citizens, us, we are paying more
[37:45] taxes because this, the single
[37:49] houses, the market keeps going
[37:51] up. So please, can you do
[37:54] everything on the website so we
[37:55] know exactly what the city is
[37:58] spending? Because it's coming in
[38:02] a few weeks, the budget. You
[38:06] don't care about this when you
[38:08] do the budget?
[38:11] >> Is that the question?
[38:12] >> Yeah, that is the question.
[38:15] >> I am a little perplexed by
[38:16] all this. We had a big
[38:19] presentation on the Public Works
[38:21] expenditure. And we actually
[38:23] called a general meeting and
[38:24] three people showed up. Our
[38:27] special -- our biggest
[38:29] expenditure in decades. Three
[38:31] people showed up. It's difficult
[38:35] when you are in our position,
[38:37] Mr. Seguin, our director finance
[38:41] has given elaborate
[38:43] presentations, many of them in
[38:44] this room explaining City
[38:45] expenditure and costs and has
[38:47] been completely transparent on
[38:49] numerous occasions. What I'm
[38:50] getting from you here tonight
[38:52] and the other woman is you want
[38:53] more detail. You can certainly
[38:56] have more detail. It's tedious
[38:59] and cumbersome, but we can
[39:01] certainly add more detail. Most
[39:03] people don't care beyond the
[39:04] bottom line of the expenditures,
[39:07] where they are sent to. You've
[39:09] given an elaboration of what's.
[39:10] Brandon but if you want more
[39:11] detail, I don't see why it
[39:13] cannot be done. It would just
[39:15] require more paper to explain.
[39:17] It but it's there, the numbers
[39:19] are already explained and
[39:21] presented with great detail
[39:23] every year. And you will hear
[39:25] that in the budget time. And our
[39:27] director of Finance is very
[39:29] lucid and clear on how he
[39:30] explains how we spend money and
[39:31] what the costs are. And I stand
[39:33] by it. I think it is very
[39:37] transparent. Now, your question,
[39:40] your costs.
[39:41] >> The website.
[39:44] >> Would you like the budget?
[39:47] Okay. Is there any reason? It
[39:49] is, it is up.
[39:51] >> The budget is on the website.
[39:53] All the details are in the --.
[39:56] If people want more details,
[39:57] they can request access of
[40:00] information. But we will not put
[40:03] that much detail in the website.
[40:05] But you can call, you can make a
[40:08] request of information and we
[40:09] have all the details that you
[40:12] want.
[40:13] >> But I think it is simple, if
[40:14] everything is on the website,
[40:15] the same that they do before and
[40:17] after. The plan, already the
[40:19] plan, you already authorized it
[40:22] how much it costs. So you show
[40:24] us the, plan you show us all the
[40:26] details. You don't have to be
[40:28] all in the details. Just a few
[40:29] pages to be -- so we understand.
[40:31] We are all busy working. And we
[40:34] are paying taxes. Our income is
[40:37] increased 60% -- didn't increase
[40:42] 60% in six years. So we are
[40:44] concerned about that. Please,
[40:45] you know? You are talking about
[40:47] all that.
[40:48] >> We. Do we do give --.
[40:53] >> We do give that kind of
[40:55] explanation. I question that 60%
[40:57] figure from 2017 to 2023. I
[41:00] would like to see that. Your
[41:03] taxes have gone up 60%.
[41:04] >> Yes, in seven years, yes.
[41:06] >> You said 2017 to 2023.
[41:09] >> From 2013 until 23, that
[41:14] seven years.
[41:15] >> I count six. At any, Reyes.
[41:20] You have one more?
[41:21] >> Yes, the second question.
[41:24] >> The election is coming in
[41:28] November. You always say about,
[41:30] you want to know what people
[41:34] want. If you send the card for
[41:38] the election, you send all the
[41:42] plan with people, what they do
[41:43] in the States, we vote in the
[41:47] major thing, we want all the
[41:49] green spaces, we want high-rise
[41:51] buildings or single houses. We
[41:53] will take care of the
[41:54] environment. What we have to. Do
[41:56] all that, we can do it very
[41:58] simply, it will cost less, when
[41:59] you send it to people who go to
[42:02] vote, already, they can do
[42:05] everything. He would be able to
[42:06] work altogether and instead of
[42:08] working against each other.
[42:10] Because you -- the seven are
[42:14] gets to. How can we work
[42:16] together? And to do your plan,
[42:20] you run with it. So how -- that
[42:24] is my question. Can you do that?
[42:26] >> What is the question, though?
[42:28] >> That question, all the plan,
[42:34] the sitting ones, all the plans
[42:36] that you want to do during the
[42:37] four years.
[42:38] >> That's called a platform.
[42:40] >> So, people they can vote what
[42:42] exactly -- you know exactly what
[42:44] everybody wants.
[42:45] >> Ideally, that's what a voter
[42:47] should demand out of a
[42:48] politician. He should have a
[42:50] platform and an explanation of
[42:51] what they plan to do. Voters
[42:53] should vote on those platforms.
[42:55] That's up to you guys. If there
[42:56] is no platform -- excuse, me
[42:58] sir. If there is no platform
[43:00] presented to you, you are voting
[43:02] for a roll of the dice. But if
[43:04] there is, one it's less of a
[43:05] roll of the dice. All I can tell
[43:07] you is as a voter, be sure you
[43:09] have a platform and you know who
[43:10] you are voting for when you
[43:12] vote. I always provide a
[43:14] platform, I will this time
[43:15] around as well.
[43:16] >> I agree, you did that. But
[43:18] it's almost nothing done. You
[43:20] keep fighting even to present
[43:21] the green spaces. That is what I
[43:24] am saying.
[43:26] >> What is the question? Where
[43:28] are we going here?
[43:29] >> I'm saying that you send all
[43:32] that, to make it easy for all of
[43:34] us.
[43:35] >> Is that the question, though?
[43:37] What is the question, though? I
[43:39] will provide you with a
[43:40] platform, if you ask me to
[43:41] provide you with a platform, I
[43:42] will. I did the last time and I
[43:43] will this time.
[43:45] >> That is what is going to, be
[43:47] everybody working on, it's not
[43:48] only you or him as a plan for
[43:52] all the elected's who work in it
[43:54] to accomplish with the citizens
[43:57] of Pointe-Claire want, not with
[43:59] the developer wants.
[44:02] >> Sir, my answer remains the
[44:05] same. It's up to you as a voter
[44:07] to make sure you get a platform
[44:08] understand what people stand for
[44:10] when you vote. If there is some
[44:13] confusion, maybe weren't clear
[44:15] on that when you are voting.
[44:17] >> It happens, sir, already
[44:19] three years ago. We like to do
[44:21] for your platform, but it's
[44:22] nothing done from the platform.
[44:25] We are still fighting.
[44:26] >> There is a fair amount to.
[44:27] And there has been some done. I
[44:30] think that is harsh. Anyway, Mr.
[44:33] El Dabee, that is your second
[44:36] question.
[44:37] >> I wish you all a happy
[44:38] holiday and all the best and to
[44:39] work together for the benefit of
[44:43] the citizens of Pointe-Claire.
[44:45] Please, God bless you all and
[44:47] happy holiday. Thank you.
[44:49] >> Thank you, Mister El Dabee.
[44:51] David Jones?
[44:56] >> Thank you very much. I'm
[44:57] following up to a question about
[44:59] flooding on Belmont and sell
[45:01] wood. Thank you very much for
[45:02] all the effort that has been put
[45:04] into resolving this issue. Mrs.
[45:09] Hoffmann has given a lot of
[45:10] feedback on what is going on. I
[45:12] would like to know more of what
[45:13] is going on but until we are
[45:16] certain that the problem is
[45:18] resolved, is it possible to have
[45:20] public works be sensitive to
[45:23] rainfall and do preventive
[45:26] measures in case flooding
[45:28] happens?
[45:29] >> They are.
[45:30] >> Okay, thank. You
[45:31] >> They are for sure. They've
[45:32] been on it. They are well aware
[45:33] of the public works. It is a
[45:35] question of working with the
[45:36] City of Montréal as well but
[45:38] they are well aware of it for
[45:40] sure.
[45:41] >> Okay. So they will go, any
[45:42] rainfall, predict the rainfall.
[45:44] >> They've been, they have been
[45:46] checking, especially around --
[45:48] where it comes out in Belmont,
[45:49] they have been. Madame Verdun,
[45:51] do you want to add to that, what
[45:53] I just said?
[45:55] >> Yeah, we are conscious of the
[45:57] problem and I can tell you that
[45:58] we are, it's rainfall, we do
[46:01] whatever we can to do it.
[46:03] Unfortunately, once in a while,
[46:04] you know, we have something that
[46:06] we cannot explain. But they are
[46:09] careful, they do inspection,
[46:12] what they can do to help you. Le
[46:15] plan à long terme, quand est-ce
[46:16] qu'on peut avoir une visibilité
[46:18] là-dessus?
[46:19] - Je ne peux pas garantir, comme
[46:20] je vous disais, on est en
[46:21] négociation. On a une partie qui
[46:22] ne nous appartenaient pas, donc
[46:23] on est vraiment en train de ban
[46:25] avec la Ville de Montréal, mais
[46:27] aussitôt qu'on a plus de
[46:30] nouvelles, on vous communique.
[46:32] On a aussi... je sais que
[46:34] certains résidents ont reçu des
[46:35] lettres aussi qui serait
[46:36] important pour nous. Si vous les
[46:38] répondez, qui va nous aider à
[46:40] comprendre un peu plus le
[46:41] phénomène, donc c'est un travail
[46:43] d'équipe qu'on doit faire.
[46:44] - Merci beaucoup!
[46:45] - Bienvenue!
[46:46] >> Can I?
[46:47] >> Go ahead.
[46:48] >> Thank you for reminding me.
[46:51] The gutters were gone out, I,
[46:53] know again. I think it is very
[46:56] important. We are being webcast.
[46:58] For everyone to fill it in.
[47:00] Okay? It's not really for
[47:01] personal -- it's not to inquire
[47:04] about your insurance or anything
[47:05] like that. It's really to have
[47:06] an understanding what type of
[47:08] water was affected, what type of
[47:09] pipes were affected. As soon as
[47:11] those get into the city, they
[47:14] can take it and analyze it and
[47:16] that would be extremely helpful
[47:18] for the letters that were just
[47:20] printed. If you didn't get, when
[47:22] either contact me or the city.
[47:25] We can make sure. I will hand it
[47:27] over if I have to, I have done
[47:29] that in the past. It is super
[47:31] important for your input that we
[47:32] can work together to make this
[47:37] -- solve this sooner than later.
[47:40] Okay, sorry.
[47:41] >> Thanks. Are there any more
[47:42] subsequent questions?
[47:44] >> No.
[47:45] >> No? Okay, so we are done?
[47:50] (inaudible)
[47:55] Mon nom c'est Rachel Langlois
[47:58] qu'Albert. Et moi, je vous fais
[48:00] deux commentaires. Pas
[48:02] nécessairement une question. Je
[48:05] parle pour mon mari quand il a
[48:07] parlé de l'Hydro-Québec. Je
[48:10] parle souvent marcher vers
[48:12] l'hôpital quand il travaillait,
[48:15] les gens pour couper le bois,
[48:16] les arbres, j'ai demandé:
[48:18] qu'est-ce que vous faites avec
[48:20] vos arbres? Premièrement, c'est
[48:22] des arbres sains, des gros
[48:24] boulot. Vraiment, des beaux
[48:25] arbres. Alors, il m'a dit: on
[48:27] laisse ça là! Je me souviens que
[48:28] la première année qu'ils ont
[48:30] fait ça c'est vrai. Tous les
[48:33] choses étaient en train de
[48:34] pourrir. Ça faisait déjà quatre,
[48:36] 5 ans. C'est la deuxième fois.
[48:39] Ceux qui travaillaient à le
[48:41] faire on dit: non, on ne sait
[48:43] pas, on s'en fout. Nous, on est
[48:44] là pour couper. Je ne sais pas
[48:49] ce qui se passe. Dernièrement,
[48:51] quelqu'un à passer dans la rue
[48:52] et m'a demandé... c'était
[48:54] quelqu'un qui travaillait à
[48:55] tourner le bois. Il faisait
[48:58] beaucoup de choses avec le bois.
[48:59] Le bois était beau. Est-ce qu'on
[49:01] peut aller en prendre? J'ai dit:
[49:04] monsieur, je ne sais pas à qui
[49:05] vous adressez. Ils n'ont pas
[49:07] l'air à vouloir faire rien. Mais
[49:10] c'est du très bon bois. J'ai
[49:13] dit: c'est ça. C'est ce qui
[49:16] arrive et cette parce que si
[49:19] vous voyez tous les gros beaux
[49:22] arbres coupés, mais cinq...
[49:24] - Qui peut donner la permission?
[49:27] - À qui parler?
[49:28] Who can justify? - À
[49:29] Hydro-Québec.
[49:31] (inaudible)
[49:32] Hydro-Québec.
[49:33] - Je veux dire, c'est malheureux
[49:34] parce que égale des gens qui
[49:35] peuvent faire quelque chose.
[49:37] C'est une récupération, quelque
[49:40] chose. Maintenant, ce
[49:42] commentaire est fini. Je vous
[49:43] dis ce que je pensais.
[49:44] Maintenant, moi, je suis du
[49:47] groupe des aînés de
[49:49] Pointe-Claire. Depuis 18 ans
[49:52] mais je trouve que voulu nous
[49:55] donner beaucoup de beaux
[49:58] privilèges, les aînés. J'adore
[50:00] être dans ce club-là. Tous les
[50:02] jours, vous avez des choses
[50:03] intéressantes et les gens qui
[50:07] ont étudié là-dedans qui sont
[50:08] maintenant... qui travaille,
[50:10] comme Erika qui vient juste de
[50:11] finir son cours, c'est
[50:14] merveilleux et Niki Chow, elle a
[50:16] une très belle équipe. Moi, le
[50:19] projet que dernièrement j'ai
[50:20] trouvé fameux c'est que
[50:25] maintenant, les gens bilingues
[50:26] peuvent aider les gens en qui
[50:28] veulent se perfectionner en
[50:31] français. Alors, ça fait la
[50:33] troisième fois que j'y vais avec
[50:34] trois, quatre personnes qui sont
[50:37] bilingues et j'adore ça. Ils
[50:40] sont tellement Willing
[50:42] d'apprendre et moi, j'aimerais
[50:44] avoir un problème de langue.
[50:46] J'aimerais un groupe comme ça
[50:47] parce que Ricardo a trouvé un
[50:49] moyen de le faire d'une manière
[50:53] ludique. C'est comme des jeux et
[50:55] on a beaucoup de plaisir. Alors,
[50:58] je vous félicite pour votre
[50:59] équipe.
[51:00] - Merci beaucoup madame
[51:01] (inaudible)
[51:02] , c'est très gentil et je suis
[51:04] d'accord, je suis souvent aux
[51:05] mêmes événements et c'est
[51:07] toujours le fun, c'est toujours
[51:09] magnifique.
[51:12] >> Good evening. About the
[51:15] budget meetings that you have in
[51:17] December, I just wanted to --
[51:20] >> You need to list your name,
[51:22] sorry.
[51:23] >> Yes, sorry. Lynn Conway. Good
[51:27] evening. About the budget and
[51:30] how our taxes are being spent. I
[51:35] am just afraid that at the next
[51:38] evaluation, there are some
[51:39] streets in my neighbourhood
[51:40] where mega homes are being
[51:42] built. I mentioned that in the
[51:44] past. There is another one being
[51:46] built, the one across the street
[51:47] is being sold a second time. I
[51:48] can just imagine how much my
[51:50] taxes are going to go up. I am
[51:53] kind of wondering, how is our
[51:57] money being spent if we are not
[51:59] doing what we should have been
[52:00] doing, like renovating the
[52:02] street that we are talking about
[52:04] or the locker rooms and the
[52:07] pool. Things are not being done.
[52:08] We are collecting more taxes
[52:09] from all the condos. So I'm not
[52:12] understanding this, what's
[52:13] happening to our money. If
[52:15] things are not being done.
[52:18] >> Well, I have my own theories
[52:21] on, that which may not be shared
[52:22] by a lot of my colleagues. But I
[52:27] read a pretty good article on
[52:29] Mississauga last week, the week
[52:31] before. They say is billions of
[52:35] dollars behind on their
[52:37] infrastructure investment. What
[52:39] we forget about when we develop
[52:42] residentially and when we
[52:44] develop a city, is that
[52:48] residents costs and you have to
[52:49] give services. You think when
[52:50] you are bringing in the tax
[52:52] revenue, that you are -- but you
[52:54] give it all back in services.
[52:56] They say over a decade, it's not
[52:58] paid for itself, you are
[52:59] spending more than you've
[53:00] gained. It's one of the
[53:02] theories, in the development of
[53:04] cities. It is a dilemma as to
[53:06] how to develop and how to do it
[53:08] profitably and not go through
[53:12] infrastructure expenditure, huge
[53:14] infrastructure debt, which some
[53:15] cities have. It's a balancing
[53:16] act. We are trying to do as best
[53:18] we can. All cities are trying to
[53:19] do that. They are trying to
[53:21] develop but in ways where they
[53:23] don't bankrupt their
[53:25] infrastructure. That is the
[53:26] challenge. I think in
[53:30] Pointe-Claire, our
[53:31] infrastructure is not being
[53:32] bankrupted. I think we are a
[53:35] conscious -- going forward. The
[53:36] more conscious we are going
[53:37] forward, the better we will be.
[53:39] The more we are aware of the
[53:41] development for its own sake,
[53:43] it's not a good thing. We have
[53:44] to get controlled development
[53:46] that fits our model, fits our
[53:48] expenditure, fits our
[53:50] infrastructure. We are better
[53:51] off that way.
[53:52] >> I'm noticing a lot of money
[53:54] being spent on things like
[53:57] renovating the library basement
[54:00] for 1.7 million. Tonight, you're
[54:03] gonna be voting on 2 million to
[54:07] renovate the volunteer rescue
[54:12] offices. I don't know if you are
[54:13] building something or just
[54:14] renovating offices for $2
[54:17] million. I don't understand
[54:19] these expenses at all. And also,
[54:21] the development of the
[54:23] Pointe-Claire, the city kind of
[54:26] developed in the 50s and the
[54:28] 60s, pretty much. So, the
[54:31] infrastructure is already pretty
[54:32] much there and collecting a lot
[54:34] of money from all those mega
[54:36] homes that are being built. They
[54:38] pay a lot of welcome tax, right?
[54:45] Yeah, and the concern for some
[54:47] --
[54:48] >> That is the same question
[54:49] again, but I will put a
[54:50] different spin on it.
[54:52] >> Where the money is going --
[54:53] to
[54:55] >> The 50s, first, of all the
[54:57] infrastructure was not developed
[54:58] in the 50s in the 60s, they have
[54:59] not done anything since. Trust,
[55:01] me that's not the case. The
[55:03] infrastructure has been re-done
[55:06] quadruple times. And I cannot
[55:07] tell you how many times it has
[55:08] been. Everything has been
[55:11] re-done. Pipes have been dug up
[55:12] and repaired. The
[55:14] infrastructure, which is the
[55:16] roads everything, the whole
[55:17] infrastructure of the city,
[55:18] transport, hospitals,
[55:20] everything, is all in a state of
[55:22] flux and development all the
[55:23] time. It is never static. It
[55:26] never remain static and always
[55:27] costs. You can't say it was done
[55:29] in the 50s, 60s. Now it's all
[55:31] gravy because that's not what
[55:32] has happened. That is my short
[55:36] answer. Anyhow, I will allow one
[55:39] more.
[55:40] >> Yes.
[55:41] >> Okay.
[55:42] >> Mayor Thomas, may I --
[55:43] >> Sure.
[55:44] >> We've seen a lot of
[55:45] expenditures over the last two
[55:48] decades. As you, said our
[55:49] infrastructure was built during
[55:52] that time after the industrial
[55:55] revolution. There was lots of
[55:57] infrastructure built across
[55:58] North America. Many cities are
[56:00] encountering the same issues
[56:02] where our infrastructure is
[56:03] expiring. Hence all of the jobs
[56:05] that we've been doing,
[56:07] reconstruction of roads where we
[56:08] have to redo all the pipes, et
[56:11] cetera. We have slowly but
[56:13] surely every year been working
[56:15] on replacing all the
[56:17] infrastructure, and working on
[56:18] the immediate areas first. Yes,
[56:21] Chestnut was here last month
[56:23] talking about it. But our
[56:25] engineers assessment evaluates
[56:27] based on the needs of colour of
[56:29] water, water main breaks, the
[56:30] state of asphalt, the sewage
[56:33] system, et cetera. That's how
[56:35] streets are selected. We've
[56:37] slowly but surely have been
[56:38] going through street by street.
[56:40] Some streets are much older.
[56:41] Areas are much older -- for
[56:44] example is a much older area
[56:45] than Cedar Park Heights. Their
[56:48] infrastructure may have had a
[56:49] lot more work done in that area
[56:52] versus where I live. Just
[56:55] because our infrastructure is
[56:56] slightly newer. We've had to
[56:59] prioritize older pipes, pipes
[57:01] collapse and break, et cetera.
[57:03] And the cost of doing work is
[57:06] astronomical. You want to redo
[57:07] your bathroom and your, home
[57:08] it's $30,000. A kitchen can go
[57:11] upwards of $100,000. When we are
[57:14] talking about $2 million on a
[57:17] renovation, we are talking about
[57:18] renovating a building that is a
[57:21] large building. This is not a
[57:23] small space. It has to now fit
[57:26] in the --. So we are not going
[57:30] to have 100,000 dollar
[57:33] renovation on a major building.
[57:35] It's just not realistic in
[57:36] today's market. Unfortunately,
[57:38] especially post COVID, the price
[57:40] of everything has been driven
[57:43] upward. But we've been
[57:46] prioritizing doing so many
[57:47] repairs repairs throughout the
[57:49] city. Yes, for a long time, the
[57:53] infrastructure was built and the
[57:54] money didn't have to be directed
[57:56] towards that. But if you look at
[57:57] all our budgets, ever since I
[58:00] have been on Council,
[58:02] Pointe-Claire's actual budgets,
[58:04] are fund functioning budget has
[58:06] barely increased. What we are
[58:07] looking at is we are giving more
[58:09] and more money to Montréal
[58:12] constantly. 50 6:10 -- cents on
[58:15] every dollar, when I was
[58:17] started, it was 40. What you
[58:18] have to look at it like that.
[58:19] Our departments have done a
[58:20] fabulous job at doing more with
[58:23] less and tightening their belt
[58:24] and keeping our budget in check.
[58:28] And when we get a hike on the
[58:31] value of homes, we actually
[58:33] decrease our rates so that we
[58:35] are not necessarily collecting
[58:36] more money. Yes, you are paying
[58:39] more in taxes. But we are not
[58:41] profiting at the city. We are
[58:42] not collecting all these piles
[58:44] of cash. And I believe you've
[58:46] met with the director of
[58:48] finance. He has gone over this
[58:49] with you. But unfortunately,
[58:53] collective agreements get
[58:54] renewed which means that salary
[58:55] will go up, taxes go up. It
[58:57] means we have infrastructure
[58:59] needs. Montréal every year is
[59:01] coming back with four, five,
[59:03] six, $7 million extra yearly
[59:06] that they are asking for from
[59:08] us. So, these are the realities
[59:10] we are dealing with. Are -- I
[59:12] think our teams have done a
[59:14] fabulous job of keeping the
[59:15] budget pretty much in check
[59:16] while still maintaining the
[59:19] services that Pointe-Claire
[59:20] citizens are used to. We can cut
[59:23] services in order to not put in
[59:25] tax hikes. That is always an
[59:27] option but that is not something
[59:29] that we've wanted to do. We have
[59:32] worked really, hard our teams
[59:33] have worked really, really hard
[59:34] to maintain the city service
[59:36] offering that has been offered
[59:37] to Pointe-Claire citizens now
[59:39] for decades.
[59:40] >> The extra money we are paying
[59:43] -- we are getting some of the
[59:44] extra money we are paying.
[59:45] >> I think we are almost done
[59:47] here. But I will let Councillor
[59:49] Stork intervene for a second.
[59:52] >> Municipalities have a
[59:54] problem. When infrastructure is
[59:55] created, if we look at the
[59:56] largest area in Pointe-Claire,
[59:59] the McGill area, the initial
[1:00:01] investments when the
[1:00:02] infrastructure is created -- put
[1:00:05] aside. I would say 98%, not
[1:00:07] just, does the infrastructure
[1:00:08] work has caught up to us. I
[1:00:10] think our infrastructure budget
[1:00:12] is over 100 $35 million behind
[1:00:15] in the infrastructure, we want
[1:00:16] everything to be proper. You
[1:00:17] keep on saying, where do our
[1:00:19] taxes, go where do our taxes, go
[1:00:20] where do our taxes? Go are you
[1:00:23] met with our finance department
[1:00:25] -- you met with our finance
[1:00:27] department. May I finish,
[1:00:28] please? Okay, it's very simple.
[1:00:30] Under the -- garbage collection
[1:00:32] goes up 28%. When unions, public
[1:00:38] works go up seven and a half
[1:00:39] percent, negotiated by Montréal,
[1:00:40] not to do with us, when gas goes
[1:00:42] up 30%, we've had a 23% increase
[1:00:47] in our debt, personal debt. Not
[1:00:49] what we paid to Montréal, not
[1:00:51] the money that we are spending
[1:00:52] that we don't receive. 26% over
[1:00:54] six years. You factor in all
[1:00:56] these expenses we've incurred.
[1:00:59] Gas, the -- which is up 6.4%
[1:01:01] this year. And we raise our
[1:01:03] taxes too, three, 4% depending
[1:01:05] on the year. I think we've done
[1:01:06] an excellent job. As a member of
[1:01:09] the finance committee, we've
[1:01:10] done an excellent job in trying
[1:01:12] to do the best we can. As
[1:01:14] Councillor Stainforth mentioned,
[1:01:16] we have three options. We do
[1:01:19] services, increase development
[1:01:20] or increase residential taxes.
[1:01:21] Those are your three sources. If
[1:01:23] you want to help, when you have
[1:01:24] to cut another. And that is the
[1:01:26] financial reality of what we
[1:01:29] face today.
[1:01:30] >> We were told that being in
[1:01:31] more condos would help us with
[1:01:33] the taxes. So we don't see
[1:01:36] anything about. 23% more --
[1:01:39] >> Yes, it does. If you got a 2%
[1:01:42] tax increase, we are a net gain,
[1:01:44] or and I disagree with the Mayor
[1:01:46] on this, I would be more than
[1:01:47] happy to have a public forum, a
[1:01:49] debate, bring in a financial
[1:01:50] team, I'm all about that. The
[1:01:52] increase would've been more
[1:01:54] because we got a smaller tax
[1:01:55] increase, it doesn't mean -- and
[1:01:57] I will explain this on December
[1:01:58] 16th. I have the numbers to
[1:01:59] prove it. What happens. Those
[1:02:02] developments give us that money.
[1:02:03] They do. I will argue that with
[1:02:06] anybody. If we have a tax
[1:02:08] increase, without that net
[1:02:09] development and that net extra
[1:02:11] money coming in, the tax
[1:02:12] increase would be worse. That's
[1:02:14] what we are failing to realize.
[1:02:15] >> We can't go to infinity with
[1:02:17] this. Can I ask my second
[1:02:20] question?
[1:02:21] >> Thank, you know. Miss Conway.
[1:02:25] >> I wanted to do a follow-up.
[1:02:26] >> You've had about five.
[1:02:28] >> When I asked about the
[1:02:29] resolution, I talked about green
[1:02:31] spaces. I just wanted to know,
[1:02:32] do you have a follow-up with the
[1:02:34] list of what are the green
[1:02:36] spaces? Because, per se, in the
[1:02:39] resolution, Cadillac Fairview,
[1:02:41] Mu1, Mu2, it does not have --
[1:02:43] does not seem to have been put
[1:02:45] their globally like green
[1:02:46] spaces, part of green spaces.
[1:02:48] But are they in the list?
[1:02:50] >> What lists are you talking
[1:02:53] about?
[1:02:54] >> The resolution of last month.
[1:02:55] I wanted to do a follow-up to my
[1:02:57] question.
[1:02:58] >> I don't know exactly what the
[1:03:00] question is.
[1:03:01] >> I asked, what were the green
[1:03:05] spaces? What was the list of the
[1:03:06] green spaces that would be
[1:03:09] encompassed in the resolution?
[1:03:12] Because Fairview was not
[1:03:13] specifically mentioned.
[1:03:15] >> I'm assuming we will have a
[1:03:16] list by the date of February. Is
[1:03:18] that not correct? In the
[1:03:21] resolution, it said things would
[1:03:22] be resolved by the date of
[1:03:23] February. I'm not sure if there
[1:03:24] was a list of green spaces that
[1:03:26] was required in there. I don't
[1:03:30] remember. No.
[1:03:32] >> There is going to be
[1:03:34] consultations, but there is no
[1:03:35] list of what green spaces we are
[1:03:37] talking about?
[1:03:39] >> No. So, let me get back to
[1:03:45] part of your last question. And
[1:03:48] we are good, Miss Conway? That's
[1:03:50] it?
[1:03:51] >> We were kind of worried.
[1:03:52] Where is the kids chair?
[1:03:54] >> That is a good question. It's
[1:03:58] in the other room? Isn't it
[1:04:01] supposed to be out here? It's
[1:04:03] supposed to be over there, that
[1:04:04] usually is. That's a very good
[1:04:07] question, thank you for that.
[1:04:11] Just to answer another part of
[1:04:12] that question, which has been
[1:04:15] neglected in our discussion of
[1:04:18] balancing budgets and the
[1:04:19] economics of cities, our city is
[1:04:21] a very healthy city. It has been
[1:04:25] overtime, one of the healthiest
[1:04:27] economically because of its
[1:04:29] industrial park. And we are city
[1:04:31] that can grow its revenue better
[1:04:32] without providing as many
[1:04:34] services with much lower costs,
[1:04:36] it's the greatest source of
[1:04:37] revenue for our city, our
[1:04:39] industrial park. And it should
[1:04:40] be expanded, protected and not
[1:04:43] built into residential, to
[1:04:45] answer your question.
[1:04:46] >> May I comment, sir?
[1:04:47] >> No, Councillor Stork. It's
[1:04:49] okay.
[1:04:50] >> Please, am I allowed to
[1:04:51] comment, please?
[1:04:52] >> That's not -- excuse me,
[1:04:55] Councillor Stork, that is the
[1:04:57] chair's decision.
[1:04:58] >> The legal department --
[1:05:01] >> But I'm allowed to comment.
[1:05:03] Legal department? Point of
[1:05:05] order.
[1:05:06] >> Mr. Stork, you can absolutely
[1:05:08] speak. But it is the chair's
[1:05:11] decision.
[1:05:12] >> I have a legal right to
[1:05:13] speak. Mister Mayor, we've gone
[1:05:14] through this. I asked you many
[1:05:16] times. Let's sit down, I did a
[1:05:18] full analysis of your industrial
[1:05:20] versus residential financial
[1:05:22] situation. I provided you
[1:05:23] copies. I never got one copy
[1:05:25] back. If any of you would like
[1:05:27] to reach out to me, go to the
[1:05:28] City website, I will provide you
[1:05:29] with a copy, I will sit down
[1:05:31] with you, we will go through the
[1:05:32] whole financial analysis. I've
[1:05:35] had to -- our department, other
[1:05:38] cities, I visited at numerous
[1:05:40] levels. I never heard one ounce
[1:05:43] of data supporting what you are
[1:05:45] doing.
[1:05:46] >> I encourage all of you. No,
[1:05:47] excuse me, Mister El Dabee. No,
[1:05:50] excuse me. We will not get into
[1:05:51] a debate tonight. Excuse me,
[1:05:54] Mister El Dabee. Excuse me. I
[1:05:57] encourage all of you to
[1:05:59] research, all of you do your own
[1:06:01] research. We can all claim to be
[1:06:03] authorities. Refer to the
[1:06:07] authorities on what are your --
[1:06:09] feature greatest form of tax
[1:06:11] revenue in a residential or
[1:06:13] municipal setting. And see where
[1:06:16] the wealthiest cities are, the
[1:06:17] most healthy economic cities are
[1:06:19] and how they generate revenue.
[1:06:21] Do your own homework on. This I
[1:06:23] have heard this from numerous
[1:06:25] mayors. Most mayors never
[1:06:27] develop residentially in their
[1:06:29] industrial areas because it's
[1:06:30] their bread basket. You ask any
[1:06:32] other mayors, you do your own
[1:06:34] research, you can listen to
[1:06:35] Councillor Stork or to me. I
[1:06:37] ask, you do your own research.
[1:06:39] Don't listen to us, do it
[1:06:41] yourselves. Check which is the
[1:06:43] greatest form of revenue for
[1:06:45] municipalities. Okay? And you
[1:06:47] balance cost, you balance total
[1:06:49] cost of those revenues over
[1:06:51] time, okay? If you have a
[1:06:52] question, sir, you have to go to
[1:06:53] the microphone. No, not you. The
[1:06:58] gentleman in the back. Are we at
[1:07:00] 90 minutes yet? Are we close?
[1:07:01] Not yet. Okay. Yes, sir?
[1:07:05] >> I've got two simple
[1:07:07] questions. The first one is
[1:07:08] regarding the social media the
[1:07:11] city uses. If it's possible,
[1:07:12] could we request to maybe had
[1:07:15] blue sky as an alternative to
[1:07:17] the horror show that is Twitter?
[1:07:19] That is my first question.
[1:07:20] >> Can you give your name?
[1:07:22] >> Philippe Perry.
[1:07:26] >> Thank you.
[1:07:27] >> He would like blue sky
[1:07:28] instead of Twitter? Do we use
[1:07:29] Twitter?
[1:07:31] >> I have to use it to know
[1:07:32] what's happening with the city,
[1:07:34] but with what's happening with
[1:07:35] the ownership of that website,
[1:07:40] very less of the youth likes to
[1:07:41] use that website. Most would
[1:07:43] switch to something else, if it
[1:07:44] would be useful to -- I became
[1:07:49] -- I came here because of the
[1:07:51] Twitter post because it's
[1:07:52] beneficial for the youth to use
[1:07:55] something that's not as horrible
[1:07:56] as Twitter.
[1:07:57] >> Duly noted. I'm not gifted in
[1:08:00] this area. Thank you, I will
[1:08:02] take that under advisement
[1:08:04] because we do not want to
[1:08:06] alienate our youth. If that is
[1:08:07] an obstacle, we can look into it
[1:08:10] for sure.
[1:08:11] >> I would appreciate it. The
[1:08:12] second question, recently,
[1:08:14] there's been a lot of vandalism
[1:08:16] at the Pointe-Claire train
[1:08:17] stations. I know it's a
[1:08:18] complicated subject.
[1:08:19] >> A lot of what?
[1:08:21] >> Vandalism that happened at
[1:08:22] the tunnels of the train
[1:08:24] stations. Smashed windows, a lot
[1:08:27] of damage. I know it's very
[1:08:31] complicated because it's a joint
[1:08:32] ownership with the RTM. I would
[1:08:34] just like to know if there is
[1:08:36] anything that's going to be
[1:08:38] happening on the side of the
[1:08:39] city to be able to, you know,
[1:08:41] try to reduce the amount of
[1:08:43] vandalism that's been happening
[1:08:45] recently?
[1:08:46] >> That's a good question.
[1:08:47] Madame Verdun, do we have --
[1:08:50] first of, all I didn't know.
[1:08:52] >> Pointe-Claire especially.
[1:08:53] >> Okay, I have not known that
[1:08:55] there was an exceptional level
[1:08:56] of vandalism. I had not heard of
[1:08:59] that.
[1:09:00] >> Yeah, it is something we are
[1:09:02] discussing right now with the
[1:09:04] RTM and we will prevent
[1:09:06] eventually. We are hoping,
[1:09:07] before Christmas, the City
[1:09:08] Council will share an agreement
[1:09:13] to be able to work in the
[1:09:15] tunnel. I don't have all the
[1:09:17] details with me. And recording
[1:09:19] -- regarding, Bluesky, and the
[1:09:23] communications team is
[1:09:24] monitoring the situation. And we
[1:09:26] reserve the name of the City of
[1:09:27] Pointe-Claire on the website.
[1:09:28] Just to be sure. But I will not
[1:09:30] guarantee that we will use it
[1:09:32] sooner. But we are monitoring
[1:09:33] right now.
[1:09:34] >> Thank you very. Much happy
[1:09:35] holidays and good luck on the
[1:09:37] 12th.
[1:09:38] >> Thank you.
[1:09:48] 1,1, avis de motion dépôt d'un
[1:09:52] projet de règlement sur le
[1:09:53] déneigement de la chemin public
[1:09:57] dans les milieux résidentiels
[1:09:58] avec une souffleuse d'une masse
[1:09:59] nette de plus de 900 kg.
[1:10:00] L'article 626 du Code de la
[1:10:01] sécurité
[1:10:12] routière prévoit qu'une
[1:10:14] municipalité peut autoriser à
[1:10:16] réglemente surtout partie d'un
[1:10:18] chemin dans l'entretien est à sa
[1:10:20] charge, le surveillant devant
[1:10:21] une souffleuse à neige circuler
[1:10:23] à bord d'un véhicule routier. Ce
[1:10:25] règlement prévoit des critères
[1:10:26] visant à assurer la sécurité du
[1:10:28] public, dans le cadre des
[1:10:29] opérations de déneigement des
[1:10:31] chemins publics avec une
[1:10:32] souffleuse à neige. >> 5.2
[1:10:36] Notice of motion and filing of a
[1:10:37] draft by-law respecting contract
[1:10:38] management. This is the
[1:10:39] replacement of the current
[1:10:40] contract management bylaw, B.C.
[1:10:44] 287, with the new bylaw. This
[1:10:45] initiative aims to thoroughly
[1:10:47] review the criteria for awarding
[1:10:48] contracts or expenditures below
[1:10:49] the threshold that provides the
[1:10:53] city -- as well as to optimize
[1:10:56] the process for rewarding
[1:10:58] professional services for
[1:10:59] contracts for expenditures under
[1:11:01] this threshold. In parallel,
[1:11:03] provisions related to
[1:11:04] contractual modifications have
[1:11:05] been incorporated with the role
[1:11:06] of clarifying the criteria to be
[1:11:08] evaluated in order to determine
[1:11:09] the accessory nature of a
[1:11:12] modification. This new bylaw is
[1:11:13] intended to comply with the
[1:11:15] provincial legislative changes
[1:11:16] since the last update in 2021,
[1:11:18] in sharing full alignment with
[1:11:20] the legal evolution of the
[1:11:22] contractual framework. Such a
[1:11:24] change will enhance the
[1:11:25] inefficiency in transparency of
[1:11:26] the procedures, thereby
[1:11:28] contributing to a more optimal
[1:11:29] management of financial
[1:11:30] resources and the densification
[1:11:32] of projects that a lower cost.
[1:11:33] 5.3 Avis de motion et dépôt d'un
[1:11:34] projet de règlement relatif à la
[1:11:35] démolition des immeubles. Les
[1:11:39] principaux objectifs visés sont:

[1:12:30] sécurité des bâtiments

[1:12:33] - Pour 5,1 à 5,3...
[1:12:36] Who gives these notices of
[1:12:38] motions?
[1:12:39] >> Eric Stork, district seven.
[1:12:42] >> 5.4 Adoption with
[1:12:43] modification of a by-law
[1:12:44] concerning the Planning Advisory
[1:12:45] Committee. This in-depth
[1:12:46] provision of the bylaw makes it
[1:12:48] possible to redefine and brought
[1:12:50] in the committee's mandate,
[1:12:51] review the rules governing the
[1:12:53] formation of the committee, such
[1:12:54] as term of office, recruitment
[1:12:56] selection, justify the duties
[1:12:57] and responsibilities of
[1:12:59] committee members in terms of
[1:13:00] ethics and professional conduct,
[1:13:02] confidentiality, declaration of
[1:13:03] interest and mandatory training.
[1:13:05] The bylaw is essentially similar
[1:13:06] to the draft version. The main
[1:13:08] changes are the addition of a
[1:13:10] representative seat on the
[1:13:12] committee to enable the
[1:13:13] representation of each electoral
[1:13:15] district. Increase in the sixth
[1:13:18] payment from $200 to $300 per
[1:13:20] meeting. The bylaw does not
[1:13:21] contain provisions subject to
[1:13:23] approval by qualified voters.
[1:13:26] 5.5 Adoption sans modification
[1:13:27] d'un règlement modifiant le
[1:13:28] Règlement PC-2512 sur la
[1:13:29] distribution de matériel
[1:13:30] publicitaire. Le règlement
[1:13:32] prévoit une modification afin de
[1:13:34] référer au règlements des tarifs
[1:13:35] pour les frais applicables.
[1:13:41] >> 5.6 Adoption without
[1:13:42] modification of a by-law
[1:13:43] amending By-law PC-2642
[1:13:44] pertaining to the granting of
[1:13:45] permits to peddlers and amending
[1:13:49] By-law PC-2396 regulating
[1:13:50] various trades and industries.
[1:13:52] The bylaw provides for an
[1:13:54] amendment to refer to the
[1:13:55] terrace bylaw four of the --
[1:13:56] applicable fees. 5.7 Adoption
[1:13:57] sans modification d'un règlement
[1:13:58] modifiant le règlement de
[1:13:59] lotissement PC-2774 dans le but
[1:14:00] de régir les unités d'habitation
[1:14:01] accessoire aménagés
[1:14:02] (UHA)
[1:14:03] à l'intérieur d'immeubles
[1:14:04] résidentiels appartenant à la
[1:14:05] classe d'usage « A ».
[1:14:10] Le règlement sera modifié afin
[1:14:12] d'interdire toute opération
[1:14:13] catastrophe dans le but de
[1:14:14] détacher une unité d'habitation
[1:14:16] axé sur de l'immeuble
[1:14:17] résidentiel.
[1:14:20] >> So, before voting, Councillor
[1:14:23] Tremblay, he wanted to speak to
[1:14:25] 5.4? Okay. Do I have a mover for
[1:14:29] 5.4 to 5.7? Do I have a mover?
[1:14:30] >> Eric Stork, district. Seven
[1:14:32] >> And a seconder?
[1:14:33] >> Brett Cowan, district eight.
[1:14:37] >> Yes, Mister Mayor, I would
[1:14:38] like to make a comment with
[1:14:40] regards to item number 5.4, if I
[1:14:43] may.
[1:14:44] >> Absolutely.
[1:14:45] >> Thank you. En 2020 et, un le
[1:14:48] gouvernement du Québec à mis en
[1:14:49] place les mesures permettant
[1:14:51] d'assurer une meilleure
[1:14:52] protection des immeubles
[1:14:53] patrimoniaux. Pour l'exercice de
[1:14:55] ces nouvelles responsabilités
[1:14:56] confiée en matière de
[1:14:58] patrimoine, il propose que les
[1:14:59] municipalités s'appuient sur
[1:15:01] l'expertise d'un comité local du
[1:15:03] patrimoine ou encore sur celle
[1:15:04] du comité consultatif
[1:15:07] d'urbanisme. Le CCU. Les
[1:15:10] modifications proposées au
[1:15:11] projet de loi présenté ce soir
[1:15:13] vise notamment à modifier le
[1:15:14] mandat du CCU, en lui ajoutant
[1:15:16] des responsabilités,
[1:15:19] consultative sur diverses
[1:15:20] questions relatives au dossier
[1:15:21] du patrimoine Patrick... de
[1:15:24] bâtiments patrimoniaux. Soit la
[1:15:26] deuxième motion proposée par
[1:15:28] Québec. Comme je l'ai affirmé à
[1:15:30] plusieurs reprises au caucus, je
[1:15:31] crois que nous, en tant que
[1:15:33] communauté, n'avons pas fait un
[1:15:34] bon travail au cours des 20
[1:15:37] dernières années pour travailler
[1:15:39] ensemble à valoriser, protéger,
[1:15:41] améliorer, préserver notre
[1:15:43] patrimoine bâti. Nous avons
[1:15:46] désespérément besoin d'une
[1:15:47] vision du Patrimoine est d'un
[1:15:49] plan stratégique pour faire
[1:15:50] avancer les choses dans ce
[1:15:51] domaine. Le CCU a déjà beaucoup
[1:15:53] à faire. L'ajout de
[1:15:56] responsabilités en matière de
[1:15:57] patrimoine bâti résout le
[1:15:59] problème d'un point de vue
[1:16:01] bureaucratique, mais ne fournit
[1:16:02] pas d'orientation substantiel. À
[1:16:05] mon avis... en créant un
[1:16:07] véritable comité consultatif de
[1:16:09] patrimoine, comme l'ont fait de
[1:16:11] nombreuses villes, je pense que
[1:16:14] nous pourrons mieux développer
[1:16:15] une vision et gérer les demandes
[1:16:17] quotidiennes de manière
[1:16:19] cohérente. Sinon, je crains que
[1:16:20] l'avoir proposé dans le projet
[1:16:21] de règlement mènera tout
[1:16:24] simplement à faire du surplace.
[1:16:26] Par conséquent, je ne suis pas
[1:16:27] en mesure de favoriser
[1:16:33] l'adoption du projet de
[1:16:34] règlement, même si je pense que
[1:16:35] certains changements positifs
[1:16:38] ont été apportées à d'autres
[1:16:39] égards. D'autres peuvent être
[1:16:43] d'un avis différent, mais j'ai
[1:16:45] le passé récent de mon côté,
[1:16:48] assurez-vous.
[1:16:50] Mister Mayor, in 2021, my
[1:16:52] government introduced measures
[1:16:53] for the protection of heritage
[1:16:55] buildings. To carry out these
[1:16:56] new heritage responsibilities,
[1:16:58] we proposed the -- on the
[1:17:00] expertise of local heritage
[1:17:03] communities, of a local heritage
[1:17:05] committee or the Planning
[1:17:06] Advisory Committee, aka --. The
[1:17:08] proposed changes to the draft
[1:17:10] bylaw before this evening
[1:17:11] include modifying the mandate by
[1:17:15] adding -- adding to it advisor
[1:17:17] responsibilities on various
[1:17:18] matters pertaining to heritage
[1:17:20] buildings, to heritage buildings
[1:17:23] -- which is the second option
[1:17:25] proposed by Québec I mentioned
[1:17:26] this evening. As I have argued
[1:17:28] in caucus on several occasions,
[1:17:29] I believe we has a committee
[1:17:31] have not done a really good job
[1:17:32] over the last 20 years of
[1:17:34] working together to value,
[1:17:36] protect, and Hansen preserve our
[1:17:37] built heritage. And we are in
[1:17:39] desperate need of a heritage
[1:17:42] vision, a strategic plan to move
[1:17:43] the dial on this topic. The pack
[1:17:45] already has a lot on its plate,
[1:17:47] adding heritage building
[1:17:48] responsibilities addresses the
[1:17:49] problem bureaucratically, but it
[1:17:51] does not provide a substantive
[1:17:54] direction by establishing a
[1:17:55] proper heritage advisory
[1:17:57] committee, as many other cities
[1:17:58] have done, I believe we would be
[1:17:59] better able to develop a vision
[1:18:01] and manage day-to-day requests
[1:18:03] cohesively. Otherwise, I worry
[1:18:04] that the path proposed in the
[1:18:06] draft bylaw will simply allow
[1:18:08] all matters pertaining to
[1:18:11] heritage to be -- to fester and
[1:18:15] become what we have today, which
[1:18:16] is a status quo I'm not in
[1:18:18] agreement with or favour.
[1:18:20] Consequently, I'm unable to
[1:18:21] support the adoption of the
[1:18:22] draft bylaw, though I do believe
[1:18:24] some positive changes remain in
[1:18:25] that regard. Others may argue
[1:18:28] differently, that's perfectly
[1:18:29] fine. I feel I have recent
[1:18:31] history on my side on this. I
[1:18:33] felt it was important to voice
[1:18:36] my opinion. Thank you.
[1:18:39] >> Thank you, Councillor
[1:18:40] Tremblay. I must concur. For

[1:18:51] 5.4 to 5.7, all in favour? All
