[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

[10:13] stick to the 90 minute time

[10:14] limit for question period, one

[10:16] person at a time at the

[10:18] microphone. Thank you for

[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

[1:10:20] 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.

[1:12:33] - 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

[1:13:32] 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

[1:14:00] de régir les unités d'habitation

[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

[1:18:43] voting, do we just say all in

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