1
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Good evening, ladies and

2
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000
gentlemen.

3
00:00:49,174 --> 00:00:51,534
Entre

4
00:00:51,534 --> 00:00:52,534
(---)

5
00:00:52,534 --> 00:00:55,384
qui prend forme. Les membres du

6
00:00:55,384 --> 00:00:56,854
conseil et moi-même joindront

7
00:00:56,854 --> 00:00:58,334
nos voix à celle des

8
00:00:58,334 --> 00:01:00,000
gouvernements du Canada et du

9
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Québec afin de vous inviter à

10
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,000
favoriser les commerces et

11
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
l'achat locaux. Aujourd'hui,

12
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,000
plus que jamais, nos actions ont

13
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
leur poids. À Pointe-Claire,

14
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
nous avons plusieurs petits

15
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,000
commerçants qui offrent une

16
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
grande variété de biens et

17
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
services. C'est un bon moment

18
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
pour les découvrir et plus

19
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
encore pour les encourager.

20
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Soyez assurés que

21
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
l'administration a toujours le

22
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
souci de faire affaire avec des

23
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
entreprises locales. Nous avons

24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
introduit, en décembre, des

25
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,000
dispositions à nos règlements de

26
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
gestion contractuelle pour

27
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
favoriser les biens et services

28
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
québécois est canadien pour tout

29
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
contrat ne dépassant pas la

30
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
limite d'appel d'offres public.

31
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Pour les contrats qui doivent

32
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
passer par le processus d'appel

33
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
d'offres public, nous devons

34
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
attendre un changement

35
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
législatif du Québec, mais nous

36
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
évaluons toutes les options

37
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
possibles. La Ville de

38
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Pointe-Claire s'assurera de

39
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,000
joindrait des efforts collectifs

40
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000
et de soutenir nos entreprises

41
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
locales québécoises et

42
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
canadiennes.

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
I believe each of you is

44
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,000
familiar with the situation

45
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,000
affecting trade relations

46
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,000
between Canada and the United

47
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
States. The tariff war that is

48
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
taking place. I actually heard

49
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000
about it in the SAQ on

50
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Beaconsfield. And everybody --

51
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000
some guys tied up and said,

52
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,000
everybody, don't buy American

53
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000
wind. And the SAQ was pretty

54
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,000
interesting and it started from

55
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
there. My personal approach the

56
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,000
next morning was to drink only

57
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,000
apple juice. I highly encourage

58
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
it. Joking aside, though, I will

59
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000
leave each of you is familiar

60
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,000
with the situation affecting the

61
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,000
trade relations between Canada

62
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000
and the U.S.. The members of

63
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Council and I joined with the

64
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
governments of Canada and Québec

65
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000
in calling on you to support

66
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000
local businesses by purchasing

67
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000
locally. Today more than ever,

68
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
our actions carry weight and in

69
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Pointe-Claire, we have many

70
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
small merchants offering a wide

71
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
variety of goods and services.

72
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Now is a good time to discover

73
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000
them and an even better time to

74
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
support them. Rest assured the

75
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,000
administration is always keen to

76
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
do business with local

77
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,000
companies. In December, we

78
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
introduced provisions in our

79
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
contract management regulations

80
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000
to give preference to Québec and

81
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Canadian goods and services for

82
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
all contracts not exceeding the

83
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
public standard limit. For

84
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,000
contracts to have to go through

85
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
the Public tendering process, we

86
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,000
have to wait for the legislative

87
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
change from Québec but we are

88
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
evaluating all possible options.

89
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
This EF1 clear will join the

90
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
competitive -- and support our

91
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
local Québec and Canadian

92
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000
businesses. That being said, we

93
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,000
will start with Council reports.

94
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Councillor Cowan?

95
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
>> I was at the north of you

96
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
winter days event on the weekend

97
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,000
and as I was watching all the

98
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,000
kids having fun, it occurred to

99
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,000
me that in our planning program,

100
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000
it defines an important

101
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
responsibility of council is to

102
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,000
safeguard the special character

103
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
of Pointe-Claire. But it doesn't

104
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,000
define it anywhere. It occurred

105
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
to me that is part of it. That's

106
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,000
it.

107
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,000
>> Councillor Cousineau?

108
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,000
>> You will see at 15.3 and that

109
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000
on the renovation of public

110
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000
works, there is an amount

111
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,000
reduction of $414,000, some

112
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,000
change. But if you take a

113
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
picture of the Finance right now

114
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000
today, we are over 226, okay? It

115
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000
must not be misunderstood. I'm

116
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
not saying this negatively or

117
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
positively. But sometimes, you

118
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
get a picture of something and

119
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
in time, it's not clear yet.

120
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Thank you.

121
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000
>> Councillor Stainforth?

122
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Councillor Bissonnette?

123
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
>> Nothing, thank you.

124
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,000
>> Councillor Homan?

125
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
>> I think this evening.

126
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
>> Councillor Tremblay?

127
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
>> No and good evening everyone.

128
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,000
>> Councillor Stork?

129
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
>> No, all good. Mesdames et

130
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
vicieux vont soir. Good evening,

131
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,000
ladies and gentlemen. Bienvenue

February city council meeting.

135
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Le mois de février est

136
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000
l'occasion pour toutes et tous,

137
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,000
au Canada, d'honorer l'héritage

138
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000
des personnes et des communautés

139
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
noires à l'histoire et au

140
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000
développement économique sociale

141
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,000
et culturel de notre pays. Cette

thème: tout ce que nous sommes!

144
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Cette commémoration annuelle

145
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000

célébration de la diversité de

notre communauté, un élément qui

148
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
fait notre richesse.

149
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
The month of February is an

150
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,000
opportunity for everyone in

151
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Canada to honour the legacy of

152
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Black people and communities in

153
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
our country's history. And it's

154
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
economic, social and cultural

155
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000
development. The theme of this

156
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,000
34th addition is all that we

157
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,000
carry. This annual commemoration

158
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000
is an opportunity to celebrate

159
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,000
diversity, which is such a

160
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
source of strength for our

161
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,000
community. Ce vendredi, 7

162
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000

163
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,000

raising awareness of heart

disease among women. Heart

184
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,000
disease is still one of the

185
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000

346
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
you for waiting for a citizen to

347
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,000
finish asking a question to be

348
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,000
called before you get up to ask

349
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,000
your question. To, we have

350
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,000
priority to Pointe-Claire

351
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
residents. Three, nonresidents

352
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
can ask their questions

353
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
afterwards, if time hasn't run

354
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,000
out. And to begin, John the

355
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,000
customer?

356
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,000
>> So I am a proprietor of a

357
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,000
commercial building. I recently

358
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,000
did a request to convert the

359
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,000
second -- the second floor to

360
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,000
residential use, which has

361
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
allowed -- which is allowed with

362
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
mixed usage. The urban planning

363
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
department has been great. They

364
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
did bring up one article in the

365
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,000
zoning bylaws which I think is a

366
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,000
hindrance. Not only to myself

367
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
but to future people. It has to

368
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,000
do with the land for parks fee,

369
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000
which he referred to as the land

370
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,000
for parks fee. Which I did send

371
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
an email and zoning department

372
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,000
says under PC 2775 or article

373
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,000
2.2 and subdivision by a PC

374
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,000
2774, article 2.3 and 4.3. In a

375
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,000
nutshell, they consider -- I

376
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,000
have a modest request. I have

377
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,000
1400 square feet, roughly, that

378
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000
I would like to convert to

379
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,000
residential. The existing

380
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,000
building -- I am -- I am

381
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000
considered a redevelopment

382
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
project. If you take into

383
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,000
consideration something like --

384
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,000
you know -- or Voyageur Park,

385
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
which was seated to the city,

386
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000
because these are areas that are

387
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,000
redeveloped, we fall under what

388
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,000
we call a redevelopment. So,

389
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,000
land for parks. I have 10,000

390
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,000
square feet of a regular

391
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,000
property. There is nothing to

392
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,000
give up to the city. So, then it

393
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
comes to what you would call a

394
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,000
tax, for no better word, which

395
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000
is 10% of the market value of

396
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:36,000
the property. So, if I just look

397
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
at the municipal evaluation in

398
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,000
2023, we are talking in the

399
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:44,000
order of 35 to $50,000 of these

400
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
to convert a residential space

401
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,000
to a -- space. I understand we

402
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000
fall under, and I am not arguing

403
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000
with the planning divert

404
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
department, but I fall under

405
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,000
redevelopment. But there must be

406
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,000
a possibility to look at the

407
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
size and scope of the project

408
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
being put forward to the city.

409
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Urban planning is just going on

410
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
with the letter of the law. And

411
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000
I'm not disputing it as it is

412
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
described. But I find this

413
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000
heavy-handed. And I know back in

414
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000
2017, but when the city

415
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
commissioned people to look at

416
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000
the revitalization of the

417
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,000
village, one of the key

418
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,000
proponents of all this, one of

419
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000
the key points was that they

420
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,000
wanted mixed usage. Well, how

421
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,000
can somebody who has an existing

422
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,000
property here who wants to live

423
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000
in Valois, there is no negative

424
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,000
impact to the village -- in

425
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,000
fact, it's coherent to what the

426
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,000
city plans for the village. But

427
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
how does someone move forward

428
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,000
with an article that is kind of

429
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,000
broad and heavy-handed,

430
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
borderline abusive for a small

431
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
project? I can understand when

432
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
it's an industrial are large

433
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,000
commercial space, like the

434
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,020
redevelopment of Paprican. And

435
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:03,020
you wanted to do the park

436
00:17:03,020 --> 00:17:06,020
because you will see some --

437
00:17:06,020 --> 00:17:07,020
seed some land and all that, you

438
00:17:07,020 --> 00:17:08,020
are creating a residential

439
00:17:08,020 --> 00:17:10,020
space. But this is an existing

440
00:17:10,020 --> 00:17:12,020
space and I find it

441
00:17:12,020 --> 00:17:13,020
heavy-handed. I'm wondering if

442
00:17:13,020 --> 00:17:15,020
the City would consider

443
00:17:15,020 --> 00:17:18,020
reviewing this and perhaps

444
00:17:18,020 --> 00:17:21,020
amending said article. That's my

445
00:17:21,020 --> 00:17:22,020
question.

446
00:17:22,020 --> 00:17:25,020
>> Okay. Well, I'm intrigued by

447
00:17:25,020 --> 00:17:27,020
your issue because, yes, it's

448
00:17:27,020 --> 00:17:30,020
not a bad way to densify.

449
00:17:30,020 --> 00:17:32,020
Initially, my instincts are that

450
00:17:32,020 --> 00:17:33,020
it's a nice way to densify in a

451
00:17:33,020 --> 00:17:35,020
commercial village. So if I

452
00:17:35,020 --> 00:17:36,020
understand correctly, you would

453
00:17:36,020 --> 00:17:39,020
currently be charged 35 to

454
00:17:39,020 --> 00:17:41,020
50,000 to transform your

455
00:17:41,020 --> 00:17:43,020
commercial to residential, is

456
00:17:43,020 --> 00:17:45,020
that what you are saying?

457
00:17:45,020 --> 00:17:47,020
>> So, what it is is the city

458
00:17:47,020 --> 00:17:50,020
hires an independent evaluator

459
00:17:50,020 --> 00:17:52,020
to evaluate the valley -- value

460
00:17:52,020 --> 00:17:54,020
of the land market value, so

461
00:17:54,020 --> 00:17:55,020
it's not like an evaluation from

462
00:17:55,020 --> 00:17:59,020
the City of Montréal. And the

463
00:17:59,020 --> 00:18:03,080
cost of the person applying for

464
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,080
-- from what I understand, you

465
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,080
have two ways around it. You can

466
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,080
give up a portion of your land

467
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,080
equivalent to the dollar amount,

468
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,080
or you can strictly pay the

469
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,080
dollar amount. But we are

470
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,080
talking about larger projects

471
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,080
here. But Dwight Jackman --

472
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,080
technically fall under the terms

473
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,080
of redevelopment by the letter

474
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,080
of the law, according to the

475
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,080
urban planning department? I do.

476
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,080
And reading it, it basically

477
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,080
says that we do. But at any

478
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,080
level of any project, this is

479
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,080
like giving me a sledge hammer

480
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,080
so I can plant a finishing nail.

481
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,080
This is excessive. So, we are

482
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,080
talking about a renovation

483
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,080
project in the order about

484
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,080
$100,000 to renovate the floor.

485
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,080
But I would looking at and

486
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,080
anybody with a similar scale of

487
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,080
the project would be looking at,

488
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,080
what, 45, $50,000, call it a

489
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,080
tax, a fee, for a project of

490
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,040
that scale. You know, we are not

491
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,040
talking redeveloping Hymus or

492
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,040
industrial parks and converting

493
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,040
to residential. An existing

494
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,040
building, one floor, a two unit

495
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,040
dwelling. That is the major

496
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,040
obstacle. It's a deterrent.

497
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,040
>> I'm just curious and I'm not

498
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,040
trying to trivial or anything,

499
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,040
I'm just wondering why you

500
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,040
didn't do it in the first place,

501
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,040
you didn't zone it residential.

502
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,040
>> In 2000 -- five

503
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,040
>> You didn't want to change the

504
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,040
zoning at the time?

505
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,040
[Laughter]

506
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,040
At the time?

507
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,040
>> Yeah.

508
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,040
>> I went through enough

509
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,040
obstacles at the time just to

510
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,040
build the building.

511
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,040
>> Okay. Madame Verdon...

512
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,040
There is no way, the rules are

513
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,040
the rules. There is no variation

514
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,040
in this?

515
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,040
>> No, a law is a lot. We have

516
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,040
to respect the bylaw. Basically,

517
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,040
administratively speaking, we

518
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,040
have no choice but to apply the

519
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,040
bylaw. In order to change that

520
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,000
rule, we have to change the

521
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
bylaw. So, you can request a

522
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,000
change of bylaw, but you have to

523
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000
pay for that change. Yeah, I

524
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
know.

525
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,000
[Laughter]

526
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,000
>> So now, I will go back to

527
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,000
2005, when I built. Just to give

528
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
you a point of how things move.

529
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Back in 2005, when I first

530
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,000
presented the project for a

531
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,000
commercial building, it was a

532
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,000
stand-alone, new building. All

533
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,000
the plans are done, all the

534
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,000
planning department went through

535
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,000
it. Great, we love it. I had to

536
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,000
go to minor variance -- of the

537
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,000
-- I had to go for windows, a

538
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,000
few things. Normal, minor

539
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,000
variance. The parking, because I

540
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000
am a narrow head. I had to go

541
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
for minor variance for the

542
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000
parking. All that was done. Back

543
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
to urban planning. At the time,

544
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,000
and I won't mention the persons

545
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,000
-- person's name, he said, your

546
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,000
project does not conform. It has

547
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,000
to be done at the time, non

548
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,000
combustible materials. At the

549
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,000
time, and I think it still

550
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,060
applies today, that groups in

551
00:21:00,060 --> 00:21:01,060
Pointe-Claire, when you do

552
00:21:01,060 --> 00:21:02,060
brand-new commercial buildings,

553
00:21:02,060 --> 00:21:03,060
can no longer be a flat roof. I

554
00:21:03,060 --> 00:21:08,060
think it has to be a slow proof.

555
00:21:09,060 --> 00:21:12,060
A slope roof. On their plans, my

556
00:21:12,060 --> 00:21:14,060
technician had rote --

557
00:21:14,060 --> 00:21:17,060
imitation, cedar shingles. The

558
00:21:17,060 --> 00:21:18,060
Planning Committee said, you

559
00:21:18,060 --> 00:21:22,060
cannot do cedar roof. I said no,

560
00:21:22,060 --> 00:21:23,060
it's -- they knew about the

561
00:21:23,060 --> 00:21:25,060
roof. When it came time, they

562
00:21:25,060 --> 00:21:27,060
said, your plans do not conform

563
00:21:27,060 --> 00:21:29,060
because it's not done with non

564
00:21:29,060 --> 00:21:31,060
combustible things. How I got

565
00:21:31,060 --> 00:21:33,060
around, it we kept the footprint

566
00:21:33,060 --> 00:21:34,060
of the building that was there,

567
00:21:34,060 --> 00:21:36,060
and we had a grandfather clause.

568
00:21:36,060 --> 00:21:38,060
The department came to inspect.

569
00:21:38,060 --> 00:21:39,060
Because there was wood

570
00:21:39,060 --> 00:21:40,060
structure, classic, I was able

571
00:21:40,060 --> 00:21:42,060
to do an extension. My building

572
00:21:42,060 --> 00:21:46,060
is considered an extension. The

573
00:21:46,060 --> 00:21:48,060
rub here is, asphalt shingles on

574
00:21:48,060 --> 00:21:50,060
a steel frame, you can't do it.

575
00:21:50,060 --> 00:21:53,060
You do need combustible

576
00:21:53,060 --> 00:21:55,060
products, which was plywood.

577
00:21:55,060 --> 00:21:58,060
This article was amended because

578
00:21:58,060 --> 00:22:01,020
when lakeshore cleaners burnt

579
00:22:01,020 --> 00:22:04,020
down and they built clear from

580
00:22:04,020 --> 00:22:05,020
production, what did they put on

581
00:22:05,020 --> 00:22:07,020
their roof to hold the shingles?

582
00:22:07,020 --> 00:22:11,020
Wood. When you say a rule cannot

583
00:22:11,020 --> 00:22:14,020
be changed or whatever, I am a

584
00:22:14,020 --> 00:22:16,020
citizen asking if Council can

585
00:22:16,020 --> 00:22:18,020
look at a bylaw that might need

586
00:22:18,020 --> 00:22:22,020
to be amended. Perhaps changed.

587
00:22:22,020 --> 00:22:24,020
But look at the scale of the

588
00:22:24,020 --> 00:22:26,020
project being presented. If the

589
00:22:26,020 --> 00:22:27,020
city would like to have change

590
00:22:27,020 --> 00:22:30,020
done in the villages, God knows,

591
00:22:30,020 --> 00:22:32,020
and have a little more of that

592
00:22:32,020 --> 00:22:35,020
residential commercial vibe,

593
00:22:35,020 --> 00:22:37,020
well you've got to be active

594
00:22:37,020 --> 00:22:38,020
partners with the people trying

595
00:22:38,020 --> 00:22:40,020
to do it. If we are asking for a

596
00:22:40,020 --> 00:22:44,020
simple renovation, because what

597
00:22:44,020 --> 00:22:46,020
I am applying for is what I was

598
00:22:46,020 --> 00:22:47,020
told to apply for, call it what

599
00:22:47,020 --> 00:22:50,020
you, want a construction permit

600
00:22:50,020 --> 00:22:53,020
on a -- existing building, one

601
00:22:53,020 --> 00:22:54,020
floor. This is not a fourplex,

602
00:22:54,020 --> 00:22:57,020
not a condo development. It's

603
00:22:57,020 --> 00:22:58,020
not extending two or three

604
00:22:58,020 --> 00:23:00,080
flights above. It's renovating

605
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,080
an existing thing in a zone

606
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,080
where I am zoned for. And it's

607
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,080
heavy-handed, saying, well,

608
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,080
you've got $100,000-ish project,

609
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,080
but the city will grab what we

610
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,080
need, $50,000 for parks. Does

611
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,080
this not seem excessive? That is

612
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,080
the question I pose. Est-ce que

613
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,080
c'est si difficile que ça faire

614
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,080
un amendement?

615
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,080
>> No, I think what we have to

616
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,080
understand, if you demand an

617
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,080
amendment, you have a fee for

618
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,080
that. If the City Council

619
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,080
decides to change it by his own,

620
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,080
it's a difference. But I cannot

621
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,080
speak for the Council. - C'est

622
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,080
pour ça que je me présente ici

623
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,080
pour demander au Conseil.

624
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,080
>> Sorry for the -- they will

625
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,080
give the political side. Vous

626
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,080
venez ouvrir la porte un peu.

627
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,080
C'est ça que je veux dire.

628
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,080
J'aimerais présenter ici, pas

629
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,080
parce que je veux, mais parce

630
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,080
que je suis un citoyen. They are

631
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,080
representing -- Kelly is not

632
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,040
here. But you are here. I am

633
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,040
asking the question, can be

634
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,040
council -- if it's illogical and

635
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,040
I am in the wrong, sorry I took

636
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,040
your time.

637
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,040
But I think for myself, and I'm

638
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,040
thinking for myself, yes, maybe

639
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,040
I am the first who has presented

640
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,040
this project or this idea. But

641
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,040
if you don't ask, you don't

642
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,040
know.

643
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,040
>> And --

644
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,040
>> And I don't think -- it's not

645
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,040
like it is a vacant land and I

646
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,040
am asking to change the zone. I

647
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,040
am not taking the stripes off of

648
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,040
the zebra. I am asking about --

649
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,040
Du gros bon sens. >> You have

650
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,040
made a very compelling case for

651
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,040
yourself, I must admit. I cannot

652
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,040
speak for Council but we can

653
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,040
certainly kick it around because

654
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,040
you've made a very compelling

655
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,040
case. In my opinion, I think you

656
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,040
have made a very compelling

657
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,040
case. And I suspect that all of

658
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,040
Council probably feels the same

659
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,040
way and we can certainly bandy

660
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,000
the idea around. Because you

661
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,000
have made a lot of logical

662
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,000
arguments.

663
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,000
>> Things can change, things do

664
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,000
change. But I am not -- that's

665
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,000
it. Thank you very much.

666
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,000
>> So thank you for articulating

667
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,000
that. You have done it quite

668
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,000
well. Philippe Paré! Philippe

669
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Patty.

670
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,000
>> Good evening. For 16.7, due

671
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,000
to the arrival of the REM later

672
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
this year, why are we only

673
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,000
building between St. Louis and

674
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Belmont, instead of continuing

675
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000
until Hymus? I have already

676
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000
checked the STA O on the

677
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,000
Planning and I do not see a

678
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
reason why it could not continue

679
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
until Hymus.

680
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000
>> I suspect economics, but I

681
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,000
will ask Madame Verdun.

682
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000
>> Exactly, because of the

683
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,000
project.

684
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,000
>> Maybe for the future.

685
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,060
>> Absolutely for the future.

686
00:26:00,060 --> 00:26:02,060
Money permitting.

687
00:26:02,060 --> 00:26:04,060
>> It's a bit dangerous for

688
00:26:04,060 --> 00:26:05,060
pedestrians.

689
00:26:05,060 --> 00:26:06,060
>> No, it makes sense.

690
00:26:06,060 --> 00:26:07,060
>> For my second question, could

691
00:26:07,060 --> 00:26:09,060
it be possible to request the

692
00:26:09,060 --> 00:26:11,060
installation of a bike ramp at

693
00:26:11,060 --> 00:26:14,060
all of the three train stations

694
00:26:14,060 --> 00:26:15,060
so it could be actually possible

695
00:26:15,060 --> 00:26:17,060
to access the trains with our

696
00:26:17,060 --> 00:26:18,060
bikes instead of having to, you

697
00:26:18,060 --> 00:26:20,060
know, struggle hauling them up

698
00:26:20,060 --> 00:26:23,060
the stairs, or balance with them

699
00:26:23,060 --> 00:26:25,060
down. A simple wooden ramp,

700
00:26:25,060 --> 00:26:27,060
nothing very fancy, would very

701
00:26:27,060 --> 00:26:30,060
much help us.

702
00:26:30,060 --> 00:26:32,060
>> Philippe, you actually asked

703
00:26:32,060 --> 00:26:34,060
us for that before and we have

704
00:26:34,060 --> 00:26:36,060
discussed it. It has gone up the

705
00:26:36,060 --> 00:26:37,060
chain.

706
00:26:37,060 --> 00:26:38,060
>> Sorry, I forgot about that.

707
00:26:38,060 --> 00:26:39,060
>> No, it's okay. I wanted to

708
00:26:39,060 --> 00:26:40,060
let you know we have not

709
00:26:40,060 --> 00:26:41,060
forgotten you and it has gone up

710
00:26:41,060 --> 00:26:43,060
the change -- the chain. And we

711
00:26:43,060 --> 00:26:45,060
have something similar at

712
00:26:45,060 --> 00:26:46,060
terracotta to help people with

713
00:26:46,060 --> 00:26:48,060
these stairs there. So we are

714
00:26:48,060 --> 00:26:50,060
looking to see with exactly what

715
00:26:50,060 --> 00:26:52,060
the possibility would be.

716
00:26:52,060 --> 00:26:53,060
>> I completely forgot I asked

717
00:26:53,060 --> 00:26:54,060
that.

718
00:26:54,060 --> 00:26:55,060
>> No worries. I wanted to let

719
00:26:55,060 --> 00:26:56,060
you know that we had not

720
00:26:56,060 --> 00:26:57,060
forgotten yet.

721
00:26:57,060 --> 00:26:58,060
>> Thank you very much.

722
00:26:58,060 --> 00:26:59,060
>> To get to your subsequent

723
00:26:59,060 --> 00:27:02,020
question of the last meeting,

724
00:27:02,020 --> 00:27:03,020
sources, we are not sure about

725
00:27:03,020 --> 00:27:06,020
the REM station around sources.

726
00:27:06,020 --> 00:27:07,020
It is so much up in the air that

727
00:27:07,020 --> 00:27:11,020
nobody knows if the pedestrian

728
00:27:11,020 --> 00:27:12,020
crosswalk is or isn't there. We

729
00:27:12,020 --> 00:27:13,020
can't really tell because it is

730
00:27:13,020 --> 00:27:16,020
in the formulation staged. There

731
00:27:16,020 --> 00:27:18,020
is harp on -- hope on that one

732
00:27:18,020 --> 00:27:19,020
for sure.

733
00:27:19,020 --> 00:27:22,020
>> Thank you very much.

734
00:27:22,020 --> 00:27:27,020
>> Sheila Larsen.

735
00:27:29,020 --> 00:27:32,020
>> Good evening. I just wanted

736
00:27:32,020 --> 00:27:33,020
to start with a comment on what

737
00:27:33,020 --> 00:27:35,020
you were mentioning about not

738
00:27:35,020 --> 00:27:37,020
drinking orange juice anymore.

739
00:27:37,020 --> 00:27:40,020
On my last jug of orange juice,

740
00:27:40,020 --> 00:27:41,020
part way through. But one thing

741
00:27:41,020 --> 00:27:43,020
that has changed for me is I'm

742
00:27:43,020 --> 00:27:45,020
now carrying a magnifying glass

743
00:27:45,020 --> 00:27:48,020
in my purse so that I can read

744
00:27:48,020 --> 00:27:49,020
where things are made.

745
00:27:49,020 --> 00:27:50,020
[Laughter]

746
00:27:50,020 --> 00:27:52,020
Because they are in the very

747
00:27:52,020 --> 00:27:54,020
smallest Prince. But I thought I

748
00:27:54,020 --> 00:27:56,020
would add that, the challenges

749
00:27:56,020 --> 00:27:58,020
of the changes we live through.

750
00:27:58,020 --> 00:28:01,080
I have two very different

751
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,080
subjects as questions. The first

752
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,080
one is, I had the privilege of

753
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,080
being part of a presentation by

754
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:13,080
a group called pound pause,

755
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,080
spelled P A W S. It's a group

756
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,080
that rescues cats that have been

757
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,080
a banded, maltreated, whatever.

758
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,080
It's in the Montréal region. One

759
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,080
of the things she pointed out in

760
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,080
the presentation, because most

761
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,080
of us think of the SPCA has the

762
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,080
place where such -- or animals

763
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,080
and up. And she said, no, that

764
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,080
is with the City of Montréal and

765
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,080
all of the boroughs. But the

766
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,080
demerged cities have to do their

767
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,080
own -- regarding the pound. And

768
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,080
then, whatever the rules are.

769
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,080
So, it occurred to me, and I

770
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,080
tried looking up on the City's

771
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,080
website, and I couldn't find

772
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,040
anything. So I just would like

773
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,040
to know what pound does the City

774
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,040
of Pointe-Claire work with? What

775
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,040
kinds of expectations does it

776
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,040
put in place for the treatment

777
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,040
of animals? Because many of

778
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,040
these pounds will kill the

779
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,040
animals after a certain time.

780
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,040
And this group, Pound Paws,

781
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,040
works with another group called

782
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,040
freedom drivers. I never knew.

783
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,040
Freedom drivers who will take

784
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,040
the animal -- well, first of

785
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,040
all, Pound Paws tries to treat

786
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,040
them, get them healthier, if

787
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,040
they are abused or damaged. And

788
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,040
then, they try to find them a

789
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,040
home and they will drive them

790
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,040
even to Québec City's -- Québec

791
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,040
City or Hamilton, Ontario,

792
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,040
through a relay of drivers who

793
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,040
does -- do this freedom driving

794
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,040
to give animals a home. It's

795
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,040
pretty remarkable. But I was

796
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,040
just wanting to know more about

797
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,000
-- we can read about dog bylaws

798
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,000
and I have had dogs in the past.

799
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000
And I have had cats in the past,

800
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,000
to. And I remember the bylaws

801
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000
and the rules about the dogs.

802
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
But I've never seen anything

803
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
regarding cats. I am wondering,

804
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
we don't have, I guess, a

805
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
licensing system which might

806
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,000
prevent some of the, you know,

807
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,000
abandonment of cats that

808
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
happens. And then, I wondered

809
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
about the pound and what happens

810
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,000
to cats that maybe get found,

811
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,000
that have been abandoned or

812
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,000
abused.

813
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,000
>> I will give you my limited

814
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,000
knowledge, and then I will turn

815
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,000
it over to Madam Verdon. I don't

816
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,000
know, Tony, if -- got you up to

817
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,000
speed on this one. I've been

818
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,000
speaking to Mark Tanguay as

819
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,000
well. Eric, you wanted to weigh

820
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,000
in at one point? Okay. I'm

821
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,000
dealing with an organization

822
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000
that wants to catch and neuter

823
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,000
spade animals and cats. We don't

824
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,000
do that. We do actually have a

825
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,060
disservice. When we do have an

826
00:31:01,060 --> 00:31:03,060
animal to catch, service and

827
00:31:03,060 --> 00:31:06,060
they are cared for. What I

828
00:31:06,060 --> 00:31:07,060
understand, they are pretty good

829
00:31:07,060 --> 00:31:08,060
at it. And it is a company we've

830
00:31:08,060 --> 00:31:11,060
hired to do it. I do -- I think

831
00:31:11,060 --> 00:31:13,060
we do it on site, Tony? We do it

832
00:31:13,060 --> 00:31:15,060
on site. We have a space here.

833
00:31:15,060 --> 00:31:17,060
Okay. And then they come and get

834
00:31:17,060 --> 00:31:18,060
them. So it is active. And

835
00:31:18,060 --> 00:31:20,060
apparently, it is very well

836
00:31:20,060 --> 00:31:23,060
done. But we don't do that that

837
00:31:23,060 --> 00:31:25,060
nary here. Any operation,

838
00:31:25,060 --> 00:31:28,060
surgical stuff. We don't allow

839
00:31:28,060 --> 00:31:30,060
anybody else -- Eric, after

840
00:31:30,060 --> 00:31:32,060
Madame Verdun on.

841
00:31:32,060 --> 00:31:35,060
>> We have a company who worked

842
00:31:35,060 --> 00:31:38,060
-- the city has come and picked

843
00:31:38,060 --> 00:31:40,060
up the animals. But we don't

844
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,060
have any type of that nary's or

845
00:31:44,060 --> 00:31:48,060
stuff like that. -- A certain

846
00:31:48,060 --> 00:31:51,060
amount of time, the animal, they

847
00:31:51,060 --> 00:31:54,060
do what they have to do after.

848
00:31:54,060 --> 00:31:57,060
They decide what to do with the

849
00:31:57,060 --> 00:31:58,060
animals.

850
00:31:58,060 --> 00:32:01,020
>> Eric, did you want to weigh

851
00:32:01,020 --> 00:32:02,020
in?

852
00:32:02,020 --> 00:32:05,020
>> Yeah. Sorry, it is a

853
00:32:05,020 --> 00:32:08,020
sensitive issue. I am

854
00:32:08,020 --> 00:32:10,020
embarrassed by your question

855
00:32:10,020 --> 00:32:11,020
because, four or five years ago,

856
00:32:11,020 --> 00:32:14,020
I started to work on an animal

857
00:32:14,020 --> 00:32:17,020
bylaw, you know. And I have to

858
00:32:17,020 --> 00:32:20,020
say that compared to other

859
00:32:20,020 --> 00:32:22,020
cities, our animal bylaw is so

860
00:32:22,020 --> 00:32:25,020
outdated, it's horrible. Public

861
00:32:25,020 --> 00:32:26,020
security themselves, they don't

862
00:32:26,020 --> 00:32:28,020
have a proper cart to put an

863
00:32:28,020 --> 00:32:30,020
animal in. They don't have a

864
00:32:30,020 --> 00:32:32,020
place -- public works that I,

865
00:32:32,020 --> 00:32:33,020
speedway put it in a room. We

866
00:32:33,020 --> 00:32:35,020
don't have the proper cage, we

867
00:32:35,020 --> 00:32:37,020
don't have the proper catching

868
00:32:37,020 --> 00:32:38,020
facilities, none of that. I

869
00:32:38,020 --> 00:32:39,020
worked on that three or five

870
00:32:39,020 --> 00:32:42,020
years ago. Right now, I will

871
00:32:42,020 --> 00:32:45,020
push this. Je pense que c'est

872
00:32:45,020 --> 00:32:48,020
une autre compagnie maintenant.

873
00:32:48,020 --> 00:32:51,020
- Le centre canin du Suroît.

874
00:32:51,020 --> 00:32:54,020
- Exactement. So, we need to do

875
00:32:54,020 --> 00:32:56,020
that. We have a feral cat

876
00:32:56,020 --> 00:32:58,020
problem, especially in

877
00:32:58,020 --> 00:33:00,080
Councillor Tremblay's area. And

878
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,080
there is a lot of feral cats. We

879
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,080
have a paucity -- we have to put

880
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,080
a policy together, we have to

881
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,080
throw a couple of dollars at it.

882
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,080
I honestly believe -- I am

883
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:13,080
blaming myself. Here I am, it's

884
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,080
something very delicate for me,

885
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,080
we have to be better. But I will

886
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,080
put something together. And I

887
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,080
work with Madame Spooner from

888
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,080
the cat clinic at the shops. I

889
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,080
spoke to -- we actually put

890
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,080
together a committee at one

891
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,080
point to go through all the

892
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,080
bylaws. I did a lot of work on

893
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:36,080
it. But I will -- that.

894
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,080
>> Thank you.

895
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,080
>> We have a lot -- and a lot

896
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,080
better job to do.

897
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:43,080
>> Thank you. One of the things

898
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,080
I would hope for is that

899
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,080
anything like that, having owned

900
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,080
cats, and we have lost cats,

901
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,080
we've all gone through that or

902
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,080
my neighbour lost account

903
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,080
recently. In the last few years.

904
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,080
And the agony someone goes

905
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,080
through to try to find their

906
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,040
cat. You know, I remember at one

907
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,040
point, one of my daughters was

908
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,040
moving to Hawaii and had two

909
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,040
cats that I got to keep until

910
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,040
these cats had special testing

911
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,040
that they needed done, that had

912
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,040
to be flown to Dakota or

913
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,040
something, the tests. In the

914
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,040
end, they never got to Hawaii.

915
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,040
But any animal that arrives in

916
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:28,040
Hawaii is put into a special

917
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,040
pound for like three months, I

918
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,040
think it was, to make sure there

919
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,040
is no disease coming in. But I

920
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,040
mean, there are a lot of places

921
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,040
with a lot of rules. And I'm not

922
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,040
sure that we have rules. So I'm

923
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,040
looking forward to seeing

924
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,040
whatever the bylaw might say

925
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,040
that sort of protects people who

926
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,040
might go through the agony of

927
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,040
losing their cat. They are not

928
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,040
going to be just euthanized.

929
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,040
>> We have one simple bylaw sing

930
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,040
a maximum of three or four cats,

931
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,040
three pets. That's it. I will be

932
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,000
honest, I've got a dog, after

933
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,000
got two cats, I've got a rabbit,

934
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000
I have a hamster.

935
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,000
[Laughter]

936
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,000
[Laughter]

937
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,000
[Laughter]

938
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,000
I have 15 fish and 15 outdoor

939
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,000
squirrels. My house is.

940
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,000
>> Three. Cats

941
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,000
>> Three cats.

942
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,000
>> Now I am a bit better. We

943
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,000
have to do more. I will work

944
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,000
with the mayor to -- we are

945
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,000
definitely behind.

946
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,000
>> Thank, you I will look

947
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,000
forward to hearing about that.

948
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,000
My second question is more about

949
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
something I discovered. And I

950
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,000
tested this a little bit after

951
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,000
the last council meeting. In the

952
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,000
most recent little handbook I

953
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,000
got from Pointe-Claire, you

954
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,000
talked about back flow valves.

955
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,000
You know, you're back flow valve

956
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,000
and the fact it's got this

957
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,000
little list -- it says you must

958
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,000
have one, you must keep it in

959
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,000
good order, you must check it,

960
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,000
all this you must. And my

961
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,000
questioning is, how am I

962
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,060
supposed to know, one, if I even

963
00:36:01,060 --> 00:36:02,060
have an. Number two, where I

964
00:36:02,060 --> 00:36:05,060
would look for one. Three, how

965
00:36:05,060 --> 00:36:09,060
you would test it. What I had

966
00:36:09,060 --> 00:36:11,060
been thinking of last month was,

967
00:36:11,060 --> 00:36:13,060
maybe the fire department knows

968
00:36:13,060 --> 00:36:14,060
what these things are and where

969
00:36:14,060 --> 00:36:16,060
they are and the fire department

970
00:36:16,060 --> 00:36:17,060
are great about coming to my

971
00:36:17,060 --> 00:36:19,060
house and making sure that my

972
00:36:19,060 --> 00:36:21,060
smoke detectors are working and

973
00:36:21,060 --> 00:36:24,060
giving me one that lasts ten

974
00:36:24,060 --> 00:36:25,060
years kind of thing. Maybe they

975
00:36:25,060 --> 00:36:28,060
do this. But in my little

976
00:36:28,060 --> 00:36:31,060
informal discussion after last

977
00:36:31,060 --> 00:36:32,060
month's council meeting, I

978
00:36:32,060 --> 00:36:33,060
discovered I am not the only one

979
00:36:33,060 --> 00:36:34,060
who doesn't know. First of all,

980
00:36:34,060 --> 00:36:36,060
I don't think it's ever put in

981
00:36:36,060 --> 00:36:38,060
your bill of sale about your

982
00:36:38,060 --> 00:36:40,060
house you've just bought that

983
00:36:40,060 --> 00:36:42,060
there is a back flow valve in

984
00:36:42,060 --> 00:36:44,060
this space. I would just like

985
00:36:44,060 --> 00:36:47,060
for the city's help in informing

986
00:36:47,060 --> 00:36:50,060
us, educating, us helping us to

987
00:36:50,060 --> 00:36:53,060
know what it is, where it is,

988
00:36:53,060 --> 00:36:55,060
how we are supposed to be able

989
00:36:55,060 --> 00:36:59,060
to test it. I hesitate to just

990
00:36:59,060 --> 00:37:02,020
call a plumber and not know if I

991
00:37:02,020 --> 00:37:04,020
will get the truth or not about

992
00:37:04,020 --> 00:37:06,020
whether this thing or not. A

993
00:37:06,020 --> 00:37:07,020
couple people mentioned needing

994
00:37:07,020 --> 00:37:11,020
to have holes dug, to find these

995
00:37:11,020 --> 00:37:12,020
things. I don't want to start

996
00:37:12,020 --> 00:37:14,020
digging up wherever, my basement

997
00:37:14,020 --> 00:37:18,020
or anything. Since we have this

998
00:37:18,020 --> 00:37:20,020
list and the city is very clear

999
00:37:20,020 --> 00:37:22,020
on it, I would like the City to

1000
00:37:22,020 --> 00:37:24,020
be clear about helping us to

1001
00:37:24,020 --> 00:37:27,020
know, okay, so how can you help

1002
00:37:27,020 --> 00:37:30,020
us with the next effort, which

1003
00:37:30,020 --> 00:37:31,020
is being responsible?

1004
00:37:31,020 --> 00:37:33,020
>> What the heck is a back low

1005
00:37:33,020 --> 00:37:34,020
valve, what does it look like

1006
00:37:34,020 --> 00:37:36,020
and where is it usually found?

1007
00:37:36,020 --> 00:37:38,020
Point taken. Maybe even a pick

1008
00:37:38,020 --> 00:37:40,020
the gram. Your point is well

1009
00:37:40,020 --> 00:37:41,020
taken. I think we can look into

1010
00:37:41,020 --> 00:37:42,020
that.

1011
00:37:42,020 --> 00:37:44,020
>> Super. Thanks. Thank you, I

1012
00:37:44,020 --> 00:37:45,020
will look forward to getting --

1013
00:37:45,020 --> 00:37:47,020
>> Mr. Cousineau?

1014
00:37:47,020 --> 00:37:51,020
>> I do not know. But when it

1015
00:37:51,020 --> 00:37:53,020
was first instituted that you

1016
00:37:53,020 --> 00:37:58,020
have to have a back flow valve.

1017
00:37:58,020 --> 00:38:02,080
Let's say would be 1979 for the

1018
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,080
sake of putting a number. If

1019
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,080
your house and your sewer was

1020
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,080
done especially before 1979, you

1021
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,080
could investigate.

1022
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:15,080
>> Somebody needs to

1023
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,080
investigate. My town house was

1024
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,080
built in 1978.

1025
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,080
[Laughter]

1026
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:23,080
Lucky me.

1027
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,080
>> I just threw out a number. I

1028
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,080
had no idea.

1029
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,080
[Laughter]

1030
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,080
>> May I comment?

1031
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,080
>> Go ahead.

1032
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,080
>> I know that for a backlog of

1033
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,080
all, often you do need to bring

1034
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,080
in a plumber if you don't know

1035
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,080
where it is because it can be

1036
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,080
underground. In your basement,

1037
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,080
though, if you have your main

1038
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,080
pipe, it could be there as well.

1039
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,080
But I know for us, ours is not

1040
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,080
there. We will have to bring a

1041
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,080
plumber to investigate if we

1042
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,080
have one or not. Because the

1043
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,080
fire department will have to

1044
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,080
dig. And oftentimes, that is

1045
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,080
what happens.

1046
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:00,040
>> Okay, it doesn't sound like

1047
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,040
much fun. So I guess, along with

1048
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,040
that little list of what we must

1049
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,040
do, I hope there is an education

1050
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,040
part in there and there is some

1051
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,040
leeway for us to be able to

1052
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,040
figure out how to do the next

1053
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,040
steps and find out where and why

1054
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:18,040
and how to do what we need to

1055
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,040
do.

1056
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:20,040
>> Points taken.

1057
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,040
>> Thank you.

1058
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:25,040
>> Nasr El Dabee?

1059
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:30,040
>> Good evening. The election is

1060
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,040
coming in the fall, in November.

1061
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:37,040
And I asked a question before

1062
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,040
about -- when you send the card

1063
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,040
to everyone to go do the

1064
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,040
election, you can send also all

1065
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:48,040
about the most important issue,

1066
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:50,040
all the citizens of

1067
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,040
Pointe-Claire care about it. You

1068
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,040
can get a referendum to be clear

1069
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,040
for any administration that's

1070
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,000
coming or a politician elected

1071
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,000
to follow all what the residents

1072
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,000
want. As I ask about it -- are

1073
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,000
you prepared to do that? The

1074
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,000
reason I ask you, that's why.

1075
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Because in the consultation --

1076
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,000
you are not allowed to talk

1077
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000
about the important issue like

1078
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,000
that, Cadillac Fairview. And

1079
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,000
when they ask about the

1080
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,000
building, what residents want,

1081
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,000
the maximum was between four and

1082
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:32,000
six. But a few months ago, you,

1083
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,000
all of the city council

1084
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,000
confirmed they built 13 high

1085
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:42,000
buildings, 13 high floors.

1086
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Except you refused to do. That

1087
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,000
I'm asking, if you do the

1088
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,000
referendum sending all those

1089
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000
questions to the citizens before

1090
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,000
the election, so when you do the

1091
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,000
election, they have the card. Or

1092
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,000
they can do it on the spot, on

1093
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,000
the election.

1094
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,060
>> So, I was confused by the

1095
00:41:01,060 --> 00:41:02,060
beginning. Do you want to do it

1096
00:41:02,060 --> 00:41:04,060
while there is enumeration or

1097
00:41:04,060 --> 00:41:06,060
while there is voter --

1098
00:41:06,060 --> 00:41:08,060
>> We received a card for the

1099
00:41:08,060 --> 00:41:10,060
election with everybody's name

1100
00:41:10,060 --> 00:41:11,060
and where are you going to

1101
00:41:11,060 --> 00:41:13,060
elect? Everyone received a card

1102
00:41:13,060 --> 00:41:14,060
from the family.

1103
00:41:14,060 --> 00:41:17,060
>> Where are you going to vote.

1104
00:41:17,060 --> 00:41:18,060
>> Where are you going to vote

1105
00:41:18,060 --> 00:41:19,060
and -- you can do the same

1106
00:41:19,060 --> 00:41:23,060
thing, the referendum about all

1107
00:41:23,060 --> 00:41:24,060
that. It is an important issue

1108
00:41:24,060 --> 00:41:25,060
for residents of Pointe-Claire.

1109
00:41:25,060 --> 00:41:28,060
The can't say yes or no, you can

1110
00:41:28,060 --> 00:41:32,060
get already all the results from

1111
00:41:33,060 --> 00:41:35,060
the residents of Pointe-Claire.

1112
00:41:35,060 --> 00:41:37,060
What they want. The character of

1113
00:41:37,060 --> 00:41:39,060
Pointe-Claire. Like, that nobody

1114
00:41:39,060 --> 00:41:42,060
will come after -- you want to

1115
00:41:42,060 --> 00:41:45,060
do the city -- downtown or a

1116
00:41:45,060 --> 00:41:50,060
condo town? They all follow what

1117
00:41:50,060 --> 00:41:52,060
the residents ask for.

1118
00:41:52,060 --> 00:41:54,060
>> You want a series of

1119
00:41:54,060 --> 00:41:55,060
questions connected with the

1120
00:41:55,060 --> 00:41:56,060
enumeration?

1121
00:41:56,060 --> 00:41:59,060
>> For all of the future for the

1122
00:41:59,060 --> 00:42:02,020
citizens of Pointe-Claire. As I

1123
00:42:02,020 --> 00:42:04,020
said, when I said everybody

1124
00:42:04,020 --> 00:42:05,020
worked together, somebody shook

1125
00:42:05,020 --> 00:42:07,020
their head, somebody said no or

1126
00:42:07,020 --> 00:42:09,020
somebody laughed or somebody

1127
00:42:09,020 --> 00:42:10,020
said never. That's what I'm

1128
00:42:10,020 --> 00:42:11,020
saying.

1129
00:42:11,020 --> 00:42:13,020
>> You are asking technical

1130
00:42:13,020 --> 00:42:14,020
questions, can we do that?

1131
00:42:14,020 --> 00:42:15,020
>> Yes, please.

1132
00:42:15,020 --> 00:42:19,020
>> I will ask our -- who is in

1133
00:42:19,020 --> 00:42:23,020
charge of elections.

1134
00:42:23,020 --> 00:42:26,020
>> It's like a referendum. The

1135
00:42:26,020 --> 00:42:29,020
consultation company --.

1136
00:42:29,020 --> 00:42:30,020
>> Mr. al-Dhabi, it's not going

1137
00:42:30,020 --> 00:42:31,020
to happen.

1138
00:42:31,020 --> 00:42:32,020
>> Why?

1139
00:42:32,020 --> 00:42:34,020
[Laughter]

1140
00:42:34,020 --> 00:42:38,020
Okay, do you know -- on this

1141
00:42:38,020 --> 00:42:40,020
council, ask me to do it. But

1142
00:42:40,020 --> 00:42:43,020
for now, we are planning the

1143
00:42:43,020 --> 00:42:45,020
general election in 2025.

1144
00:42:45,020 --> 00:42:46,020
>> I know.

1145
00:42:46,020 --> 00:42:47,020
>> Okay.

1146
00:42:47,020 --> 00:42:49,020
>> So that is what I am saying.

1147
00:42:49,020 --> 00:42:51,020
I said already last year about

1148
00:42:51,020 --> 00:42:56,020
this referendum when you send a

1149
00:42:56,020 --> 00:42:57,020
card.

1150
00:42:57,020 --> 00:42:58,020
>> Let me be clear. Do you know

1151
00:42:58,020 --> 00:43:00,080
how much it costs to organize

1152
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,080
that kind of referendum?

1153
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,080
>> And the card --

1154
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:07,080
>> Okay, yeah.

1155
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,080
>> When you do the result for

1156
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,080
the politicians, when they get

1157
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:12,080
elected, it's all on a computer.

1158
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,080
The car, they go through the

1159
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,080
computer. You get the result.

1160
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,080
>> It's that simple?

1161
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:19,080
>> Yes.

1162
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:20,080
>> Good, okay.

1163
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,080
>> You do that for the election

1164
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,080
to get who is elected.

1165
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,080
>> I get the idea. I know, for

1166
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,080
you, it could sound, it could

1167
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,080
look simple. But it's not that

1168
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,080
simple. Legally speaking, it is

1169
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,080
complicated. And I'm not sure

1170
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,080
election Québec will allow me to

1171
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:44,080
organize this kind of democratic

1172
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,080
event at the same time as the

1173
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,080
general election. The answer is

1174
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:53,080
probably no. And maybe later

1175
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:55,080
Council will decide.

1176
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,080
>> The reason is, are you happy

1177
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,080
for all the council that for the

1178
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,040
last three years, arguments and

1179
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,040
all against each other? Who is

1180
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,040
happy with that? That's why I'm

1181
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,040
saying, the solution to help

1182
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,040
everybody to work together. And

1183
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,040
the citizens, they already

1184
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,040
decided what they want for their

1185
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:16,040
own citizens. We are here,

1186
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,040
people from 20 years, 30 years,

1187
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:23,040
50 years. The city is changing.

1188
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,040
-- Every mayor or every city

1189
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,040
council, they come, they change

1190
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,040
the city. That's why I'm trying

1191
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,040
to give a solution to help, to

1192
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:40,040
work altogether, to resolve this

1193
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:42,040
conflict.

1194
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,040
>> Go ahead, Councillor Stork.

1195
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,040
>> I actually checked that with

1196
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,040
Elections Québec, the answer is

1197
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,040
a straight snow. The city of

1198
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:52,040
Colorado did that the first

1199
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,040
time, I remember, when they

1200
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,040
voted on allowing marijuana use.

1201
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,040
It was on the back of the

1202
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,000
ballot. Basically, everybody

1203
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,000
gives you another opportunity to

1204
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:04,000
ask a general question because

1205
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,000
it is being sent out and you can

1206
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,000
double up on the costs. I can

1207
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,000
say that, you know, this has

1208
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:12,000
come up a couple of times in the

1209
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,000
last three, four, five years

1210
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,000
about putting something together

1211
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,000
with the hot button issues.

1212
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,000
>> Yes.

1213
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,000
>> And I don't think the -- the

1214
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,000
issues that you are trying to go

1215
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,000
towards, whether it be speed

1216
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,000
bumps, chicken coops, tempos.

1217
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,000
There is a multitude of

1218
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,000
questions that always come back.

1219
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,000
I am a proponent of the fact

1220
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:37,000
that even if it costs 20,

1221
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,000
$50,000, I think it would be,

1222
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,000
and I have mentioned, it we've

1223
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,000
had some agreement. But other

1224
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,000
issues have taken more time. To

1225
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,000
do something of that nature, to

1226
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,000
get the feedback on the key

1227
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,000
button issues that we always

1228
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:50,000
have trouble adjusting to. It

1229
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,000
shouldn't just be one street,

1230
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,000
one tempo. It should be a

1231
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,000
referendum. It's not a

1232
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,000
referendum, it has to be a

1233
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,000
public participation to see

1234
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,000
where it stands. Those things

1235
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,060
have to be worked out. Even if

1236
00:46:00,060 --> 00:46:03,060
elections Québec even begins, if

1237
00:46:03,060 --> 00:46:04,060
something like that was

1238
00:46:04,060 --> 00:46:06,060
acceptable, that would have

1239
00:46:06,060 --> 00:46:08,060
started like last year. It is a

1240
00:46:08,060 --> 00:46:12,060
long process. But have some sort

1241
00:46:12,060 --> 00:46:13,060
of general questionnaire sent

1242
00:46:13,060 --> 00:46:14,060
out all the citizens, you have

1243
00:46:14,060 --> 00:46:17,060
to be question -- concerned, how

1244
00:46:17,060 --> 00:46:19,060
is the questionnaire being

1245
00:46:19,060 --> 00:46:20,060
represented? How is it said? Are

1246
00:46:20,060 --> 00:46:21,060
you biased in your questions?

1247
00:46:21,060 --> 00:46:22,060
There's a lot of work that has

1248
00:46:22,060 --> 00:46:23,060
to be done in reference to that.

1249
00:46:23,060 --> 00:46:25,060
But fundamentally, I agree with

1250
00:46:25,060 --> 00:46:26,060
that sort of thing on the hot

1251
00:46:26,060 --> 00:46:27,060
button issues that keep coming

1252
00:46:27,060 --> 00:46:29,060
back every year, every year, and

1253
00:46:29,060 --> 00:46:31,060
at one point we need closure on

1254
00:46:31,060 --> 00:46:32,060
them.

1255
00:46:32,060 --> 00:46:33,060
>> And to help you to do that

1256
00:46:33,060 --> 00:46:34,060
decision for the citizens, what

1257
00:46:34,060 --> 00:46:36,060
they want -- because we hire

1258
00:46:36,060 --> 00:46:38,060
consultation companies. It cost

1259
00:46:38,060 --> 00:46:40,060
a lot of money. In the end, you

1260
00:46:40,060 --> 00:46:42,060
didn't follow what they want. We

1261
00:46:42,060 --> 00:46:45,060
went, more than 100 people,

1262
00:46:45,060 --> 00:46:48,060
here, we did all of that

1263
00:46:48,060 --> 00:46:50,060
question except the hot issue,

1264
00:46:50,060 --> 00:46:54,060
you know? How we manage our

1265
00:46:54,060 --> 00:46:55,060
backyard, the city pays money

1266
00:46:55,060 --> 00:46:59,060
for us to manage our backyard.

1267
00:46:59,060 --> 00:47:01,020
Let us know. Please, try, you

1268
00:47:01,020 --> 00:47:04,020
can do a resolution. To help all

1269
00:47:04,020 --> 00:47:08,020
of us and help yourselves. To be

1270
00:47:08,020 --> 00:47:10,020
all friendly and all happy.

1271
00:47:10,020 --> 00:47:13,020
Please. Is that a good

1272
00:47:13,020 --> 00:47:14,020
suggestion?

1273
00:47:14,020 --> 00:47:16,020
>> Well, there is a limit to

1274
00:47:16,020 --> 00:47:17,020
things. You can't just be

1275
00:47:17,020 --> 00:47:19,020
serving every month citizens.

1276
00:47:19,020 --> 00:47:21,020
You have people elected to

1277
00:47:21,020 --> 00:47:22,020
represent you and they get

1278
00:47:22,020 --> 00:47:23,020
chosen and they have an election

1279
00:47:23,020 --> 00:47:25,020
every four years. That is one of

1280
00:47:25,020 --> 00:47:27,020
the solutions as well.

1281
00:47:27,020 --> 00:47:29,020
>> Yeah, but it's a simple

1282
00:47:29,020 --> 00:47:32,020
question. The big issue, yes or

1283
00:47:32,020 --> 00:47:35,020
no, yes or no. You get the

1284
00:47:35,020 --> 00:47:37,020
results, you really -- the

1285
00:47:37,020 --> 00:47:38,020
residents of Pointe-Claire.

1286
00:47:38,020 --> 00:47:40,020
>> We get that in votes at

1287
00:47:40,020 --> 00:47:42,020
Council meetings. You can assess

1288
00:47:42,020 --> 00:47:46,020
your elective -- year elected

1289
00:47:46,020 --> 00:47:47,020
Council --.

1290
00:47:47,020 --> 00:47:50,020
>> I would consider that to

1291
00:47:50,020 --> 00:47:52,020
work, to be happy for the next

1292
00:47:52,020 --> 00:47:53,020
four years, to see people

1293
00:47:53,020 --> 00:47:55,020
working together with happiness

1294
00:47:55,020 --> 00:47:57,020
and make us really happy to be

1295
00:47:57,020 --> 00:47:59,020
living here. I hope this makes

1296
00:47:59,020 --> 00:48:02,080
sense for you.

1297
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,080
>> Well, that is assuming that

1298
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:08,080
if the results, the question

1299
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,080
results will be pursued. There

1300
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,080
is no guarantee of that anyway.

1301
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,080
It sounds to me like a

1302
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,080
complicated process.

1303
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:22,080
>> Mayor Thomas, you won with

1304
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,080
your platform and we elected you

1305
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:27,080
for your platform. But too many

1306
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:28,080
people, they are against what

1307
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,080
you are doing. And that is what

1308
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,080
is hurting us. Because we

1309
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,080
elected you for your platform. I

1310
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,080
am just trying to save the

1311
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,080
problem and to be all working

1312
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,080
together happily. We live in one

1313
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:42,080
city and we are all one family.

1314
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,080
>> I don't want to go too far on

1315
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:45,080
this one because it's kind of a

1316
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,080
touchy one. I am biased at the

1317
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,080
mic. But I would say that

1318
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,080
everybody else up here was

1319
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:52,080
elected.

1320
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:53,080
>> Yeah, I know.

1321
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:54,080
>> On a vision as well. And

1322
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,080
maybe the voters should make

1323
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,080
sure that the vision's match.

1324
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:00,040
That, for me, might be one of

1325
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,040
the solutions to the problem.

1326
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,040
>> I hope that we will be able

1327
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,040
to find a solution to help

1328
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:08,040
everybody. My second question,

1329
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,040
what are you going to do to help

1330
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:15,040
the industrial park to keep

1331
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:19,040
healthy and better -- building

1332
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,040
high rise condos. When you have

1333
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:25,040
a healthy industrial park,

1334
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,040
people living here, they can be

1335
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:31,040
able to work, to save all the

1336
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,040
trouble and all that. At the

1337
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,040
same, time to be a healthy city,

1338
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,040
people living and working in the

1339
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,040
same city. What will you do to

1340
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,040
update the industrial park?

1341
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,040
>> There are a couple biases in

1342
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,040
your question. I will get to one

1343
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:49,040
of the problems that I see to

1344
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,040
your question, that troubles me

1345
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,040
with our industrial park.

1346
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:55,040
Anybody working in the

1347
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,040
industrial park can't afford to

1348
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,040
live in Pointe-Claire. So, they

1349
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:00,000
are forced to commute. And this

1350
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,000
whole 15-minute city thing is

1351
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,000
blown apart with this.

1352
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:05,000
Affordability has a huge

1353
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:06,000
bearing. We have people

1354
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:10,000
commuting from different parts,

1355
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,000
close to the Ontario border,

1356
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,000
because that's where they can

1357
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,000
afford to live and work in our

1358
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,000
industrial park. So it's a real

1359
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,000
challenge. The employees coming

1360
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,000
from elsewhere. Ideally, yes,

1361
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,000
you would like the employees of

1362
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,000
our industrial park to live in

1363
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,000
proximity to it, absolutely.

1364
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:29,000
Housing affordability has a huge

1365
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,000
bearing on that. That being

1366
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,000
said, having an industrial park

1367
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:34,000
does provide employment, which

1368
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,000
is great. It provides four times

1369
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,000
the level of taxes and it

1370
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,000
requires way less infrastructure

1371
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,000
to sustain it. So it has always

1372
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,000
been part of the Pointe-Claire

1373
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,000
formula, it has been since all

1374
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,000
of Urquhart has been -- lower

1375
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,000
taxes south has been a formula

1376
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,000
for a long time. And I think it

1377
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,000
is something we can look into,

1378
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,060
instead of building industrial

1379
00:51:00,060 --> 00:51:02,060
zoning, I see that as an error,

1380
00:51:02,060 --> 00:51:03,060
personally. And I think industry

1381
00:51:03,060 --> 00:51:05,060
and business always changes and

1382
00:51:05,060 --> 00:51:08,060
it never gets outmoded or

1383
00:51:08,060 --> 00:51:09,060
moribund. You can always find

1384
00:51:09,060 --> 00:51:11,060
new industry to replace old in

1385
00:51:11,060 --> 00:51:13,060
an industrial park. And I don't

1386
00:51:13,060 --> 00:51:15,060
think we should be building

1387
00:51:15,060 --> 00:51:16,060
residential into it. That is my

1388
00:51:16,060 --> 00:51:17,060
take on. It I would like to

1389
00:51:17,060 --> 00:51:19,060
preserve it. How to preserve it

1390
00:51:19,060 --> 00:51:21,060
is to be able to attract

1391
00:51:21,060 --> 00:51:22,060
industries and have a strategic

1392
00:51:22,060 --> 00:51:27,060
plan as a city -- which it does,

1393
00:51:27,060 --> 00:51:29,060
to try to find businesses to

1394
00:51:29,060 --> 00:51:31,060
come into your industrial park

1395
00:51:31,060 --> 00:51:33,060
and possibly even grow your

1396
00:51:33,060 --> 00:51:34,060
industrial park. If you have a

1397
00:51:34,060 --> 00:51:36,060
good economic strategy as a

1398
00:51:36,060 --> 00:51:40,060
city, you can do it. I totally

1399
00:51:40,060 --> 00:51:42,060
appreciate your question.

1400
00:51:42,060 --> 00:51:43,060
Hopefully, I have answered it

1401
00:51:43,060 --> 00:51:44,060
well. I thrown a whole bunch of

1402
00:51:44,060 --> 00:51:46,060
curves that you.

1403
00:51:46,060 --> 00:51:48,060
>> Yeah, you did good, really.

1404
00:51:48,060 --> 00:51:52,060
But we have to have actions to

1405
00:51:52,060 --> 00:51:55,060
help -- the company, the

1406
00:51:55,060 --> 00:51:58,060
computer company, they pay well.

1407
00:51:58,060 --> 00:51:59,060
Those people, when you attract

1408
00:51:59,060 --> 00:52:01,020
them to the city --

1409
00:52:01,020 --> 00:52:02,020
>> Absolutely.

1410
00:52:02,020 --> 00:52:04,020
>> That is all they can do, all

1411
00:52:04,020 --> 00:52:09,020
that by helping them.

1412
00:52:10,020 --> 00:52:11,020
>> They are trying to expand

1413
00:52:11,020 --> 00:52:13,020
their ears and I would like to

1414
00:52:13,020 --> 00:52:14,020
expand ours as well.

1415
00:52:14,020 --> 00:52:16,020
>> Thank you. I want us to work

1416
00:52:16,020 --> 00:52:18,020
altogether. Thank you. -- The

1417
00:52:18,020 --> 00:52:21,020
next four years, better please.

1418
00:52:21,020 --> 00:52:24,020
>> Thank you, Mister El Dabee.

1419
00:52:24,020 --> 00:52:27,020
Linda Dumas. Did I say it right,

1420
00:52:27,020 --> 00:52:31,020
Linda? Good. I apologize. It

1421
00:52:31,020 --> 00:52:33,020
says emphasize BS in the notes,

1422
00:52:33,020 --> 00:52:34,020
which I have not been doing for

1423
00:52:34,020 --> 00:52:37,020
a long time now, I apologize.

1424
00:52:37,020 --> 00:52:39,020
[Inaudible]

1425
00:52:55,020 --> 00:52:58,020
[Inaudible]

1426
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:05,080
>> The pedestal, the podium?

1427
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,080
>> So that our back is not to

1428
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:13,080
people behind us. We had had the

1429
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:15,080
podium. D'habitude on ne l'a

1430
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:19,080
même pas. It is so easy to put

1431
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:23,080
out. Some people

1432
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:25,080
[Inaudible]

1433
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:28,080
.

1434
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:36,080
[Laughter]

1435
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,080
Thank you.

1436
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,080
>> It's probably easier to move

1437
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:42,080
the microphone.

1438
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:47,080
>> Okay, all right. I have so

1439
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,080
many ideas and so many thoughts.

1440
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,080
And I usually don't know where

1441
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:59,080
to start. But I will be on the

1442
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:07,040
train of thought, I believe, by

1443
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,040
asking the vehicle department if

1444
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,040
it is absolutely essential,

1445
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:18,040
under legal, that the City must

1446
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:23,040
evaluate the forest, and the

1447
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:28,040
natural preserve, before they

1448
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:32,040
spend money evaluating it. There

1449
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:35,040
have been evaluations.

1450
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,040
Scientists around the world have

1451
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:40,040
certainly evaluated this type of

1452
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:44,040
typical forest, preserving the

1453
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:49,040
lung that is in the heat island.

1454
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,040
And I know that this is coming

1455
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:57,040
about a later on the agenda. And

1456
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:00,000
because I have -- I will tell

1457
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,000
you what I have been doing with

1458
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,000
different conservancy's in the

1459
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:05,000
government or questions I have

1460
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:10,000
been asking. Is it absolutely

1461
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,000
mandatory that the City follow

1462
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:17,000
those steps, now almost in the

1463
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,000
fourth year of the mandate, of

1464
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:21,000
trying to preserve or come up

1465
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:26,000
with ideas or actions, to do, so

1466
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,000
that that is a step that must be

1467
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,000
taken. Yes, I am asking the

1468
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:37,000
legal department.

1469
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,000
>> I presume you won't like my

1470
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:46,000
answer. My answer should have

1471
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:52,000
some nuance and opinions. And

1472
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,000
based on that fact, I cannot

1473
00:55:55,000 --> 00:56:00,060
give a right answer. Based on my

1474
00:56:01,060 --> 00:56:03,060
ethical professional code, I am

1475
00:56:03,060 --> 00:56:05,060
a member of the bar, as you

1476
00:56:05,060 --> 00:56:06,060
know, and I'm not allowed to

1477
00:56:06,060 --> 00:56:09,060
give legal opinion without all

1478
00:56:09,060 --> 00:56:12,060
the facts. So I would appreciate

1479
00:56:12,060 --> 00:56:17,060
more details. For the question,

1480
00:56:17,060 --> 00:56:19,060
maybe by email or something. It

1481
00:56:19,060 --> 00:56:20,060
would be a pleasure for me to

1482
00:56:20,060 --> 00:56:24,060
answer your question with proper

1483
00:56:24,060 --> 00:56:28,060
nuances.

1484
00:56:28,060 --> 00:56:33,060
>> All right. In October of

1485
00:56:35,060 --> 00:56:37,060
2023, I attended the live

1486
00:56:37,060 --> 00:56:40,060
outdoor downtown press

1487
00:56:40,060 --> 00:56:42,060
conference where the scientific

1488
00:56:42,060 --> 00:56:44,060
study by Tara humanity was

1489
00:56:44,060 --> 00:56:47,060
presented in support of the

1490
00:56:47,060 --> 00:56:50,060
endurance of -- enduring

1491
00:56:50,060 --> 00:56:52,060
importance of the remaining

1492
00:56:52,060 --> 00:56:55,060
acres of the John Abbott forest

1493
00:56:55,060 --> 00:56:57,060
in the city. This report was

1494
00:56:57,060 --> 00:57:00,020
funded by a legacy fund,

1495
00:57:00,020 --> 00:57:03,020
environmental dot org. Possibly

1496
00:57:03,020 --> 00:57:06,020
save Fairview forest

1497
00:57:06,020 --> 00:57:08,020
organization knows the cost of

1498
00:57:08,020 --> 00:57:11,020
that. It would not have been

1499
00:57:11,020 --> 00:57:15,020
inexpensive, regardless.

1500
00:57:15,020 --> 00:57:18,020
Certainly, there must be people

1501
00:57:18,020 --> 00:57:21,020
from Pointe-Claire, it is a

1502
00:57:21,020 --> 00:57:24,020
charitable organization, as is

1503
00:57:24,020 --> 00:57:27,020
the natural conservancy of

1504
00:57:27,020 --> 00:57:31,020
Canada. And snap Québec, parks

1505
00:57:31,020 --> 00:57:34,020
and green spaces, those are all

1506
00:57:34,020 --> 00:57:36,020
charitable organizations.

1507
00:57:36,020 --> 00:57:38,020
They've been working for the

1508
00:57:38,020 --> 00:57:40,020
last few months in that

1509
00:57:40,020 --> 00:57:45,020
direction, to try and find an

1510
00:57:45,020 --> 00:57:48,020
avenue for fundraising, to help

1511
00:57:48,020 --> 00:57:53,020
the City pay for the forest. Of

1512
00:57:53,020 --> 00:57:58,020
course, the slow-moving

1513
00:57:59,020 --> 00:58:00,080
governments -- I guess maybe

1514
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,080
this one included, even though

1515
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:07,080
it is grass roots, a very often

1516
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:13,080
-- of a lifesaving nature,

1517
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:18,080
nature preserves are destroyed

1518
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:23,080
before the laws get changed.

1519
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:29,080
Ever since the press conference

1520
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:32,080
and the presentation and

1521
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:35,080
speakers by Tara humanity, the

1522
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:36,080
scientists there, and by

1523
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:39,080
Campbell Stewart, the head of

1524
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:43,080
the legacy fund environment dot

1525
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:46,080
org, a lawyer, and they do their

1526
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:48,080
lawyering and their charitable

1527
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:52,080
funds to fight for green spaces,

1528
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:57,080
just like ours. So, for a whole

1529
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,040
year, I've been thinking --

1530
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,040
finally, in November, because I

1531
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:08,040
had heard from Mr. Scarpaleggia,

1532
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:13,040
not just me, and it came

1533
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:20,040
together in my mind

1534
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:26,040
that the federal legislation,

1535
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,040
and knowing the acronym is Sara,

1536
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,040
which is species at risk, is

1537
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:35,040
really a distraction and

1538
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:39,040
interference against preserving

1539
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,040
the natural green space in the

1540
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:43,040
21st century. Because most of it

1541
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,040
that we are bemoaning

1542
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:48,040
disappeared in the 20th century.

1543
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:51,040
And especially the green space

1544
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:54,040
in the areas where most of us

1545
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:59,040
live, the urban environment. And

1546
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:03,000
in writing Mister Scarpaleggia

1547
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,000
and then at the end of December,

1548
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,000
after the commentary a window to

1549
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:12,000
the CMM for Fairview forest and

1550
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,000
obviously for many other things,

1551
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:17,000
because the CMM is open to all

1552
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:22,000
of this -- I have attached my

1553
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,000
November letter with my

1554
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:32,000
thoughts.

1555
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,000
If you understand what SARA is,

1556
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:41,000
I believe it came into being in

1557
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:42,000
2002. I can't for the life of

1558
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:46,000
me, I guess politically,

1559
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,000
economically, pressures from

1560
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,000
business, perhaps, and that it

1561
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,000
was so weak right at the

1562
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,000
beginning. It is outdated in

1563
01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:00,060
it's useful application and

1564
01:01:00,060 --> 01:01:03,060
urgently required human

1565
01:01:03,060 --> 01:01:05,060
protection decisions. It is

1566
01:01:05,060 --> 01:01:07,060
forest -- I observed in October

1567
01:01:07,060 --> 01:01:12,060
2023, bona fide climate

1568
01:01:13,060 --> 01:01:15,060
environmentalists to -- fight

1569
01:01:15,060 --> 01:01:19,060
for preservation's within the

1570
01:01:19,060 --> 01:01:21,060
interference of SARA as it is

1571
01:01:21,060 --> 01:01:25,060
written. To still count on

1572
01:01:25,060 --> 01:01:28,060
vulnerable species inhabiting or

1573
01:01:28,060 --> 01:01:31,060
visiting a critical natural

1574
01:01:31,060 --> 01:01:35,060
landscape as a key -- hallmark

1575
01:01:35,060 --> 01:01:37,060
in 2024. That is the hallmark,

1576
01:01:37,060 --> 01:01:40,060
to deny the property of an owner

1577
01:01:40,060 --> 01:01:43,060
from bulldozing, to me, is

1578
01:01:43,060 --> 01:01:46,060
actually suicidally criminal.

1579
01:01:46,060 --> 01:01:50,060
>> Miss Dumas --

1580
01:01:50,060 --> 01:01:51,060
>> Yes?

1581
01:01:51,060 --> 01:01:52,060
>> I don't need to be rude but

1582
01:01:52,060 --> 01:01:54,060
I'm getting quite confused. I

1583
01:01:54,060 --> 01:01:56,060
really don't know what the

1584
01:01:56,060 --> 01:01:57,060
strand of where you are going or

1585
01:01:57,060 --> 01:02:00,020
what you are trying to tell us,

1586
01:02:00,020 --> 01:02:01,020
if you could just --

1587
01:02:01,020 --> 01:02:05,020
>> Today, I spoke and sent this

1588
01:02:05,020 --> 01:02:10,020
to the Québec nature conservancy

1589
01:02:10,020 --> 01:02:13,020
to find out if they would help

1590
01:02:13,020 --> 01:02:18,020
us in amending, changing SARA to

1591
01:02:20,020 --> 01:02:23,020
include plant species, which is

1592
01:02:23,020 --> 01:02:27,020
the provider of life. And human

1593
01:02:27,020 --> 01:02:30,020
species at risk, along with the

1594
01:02:30,020 --> 01:02:34,020
animals. So, I find it a great

1595
01:02:34,020 --> 01:02:38,020
disservice to humanity and the

1596
01:02:38,020 --> 01:02:40,020
situation that the climate

1597
01:02:40,020 --> 01:02:45,020
change has brought upon

1598
01:02:45,020 --> 01:02:47,020
humanity, accelerated by our own

1599
01:02:47,020 --> 01:02:49,020
doing since the beginning of the

1600
01:02:49,020 --> 01:02:51,020
industrial age.

1601
01:02:51,020 --> 01:02:55,020
>> So, you don't want us to rely

1602
01:02:55,020 --> 01:02:57,020
on SARA in our own inquiry?

1603
01:02:57,020 --> 01:02:58,020
>> That would be wonderful. So

1604
01:02:58,020 --> 01:03:00,080
I'm bringing this, I don't know

1605
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:04,080
if you've ever thought of it. I

1606
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:09,080
think it is a worthwhile fight.

1607
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,080
I know that by going into this

1608
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:14,080
evaluation period, figuring out

1609
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:17,080
how many little creatures are in

1610
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:22,080
the forest does seem to be

1611
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:26,080
paramount. Even in that press

1612
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:29,080
conference, we talked about the

1613
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:31,080
ecosystem, the natural ecosystem

1614
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,080
that supports all of this. But

1615
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,080
it was not really emphasized,

1616
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:37,080
and the natural ecosystem.

1617
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:42,080
Without that, endangered and not

1618
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:45,080
endangered animals, that is one

1619
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:50,080
more area they cannot use. There

1620
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:53,080
is so much worldwide information

1621
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:57,080
for so many decades now that

1622
01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:00,040
says that this -- 50 million

1623
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:05,040
over 100 million dollar natural

1624
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:07,040
territory should become public

1625
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:11,040
and or taken out of at least a

1626
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:15,040
private developer's hands. You

1627
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:19,040
find this him using, I suppose.

1628
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:20,040
[Laughter]

1629
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:21,040
Whatever, whatever.

1630
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:24,040
>> Miss Dumas, is there a

1631
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:25,040
question?

1632
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,040
>> Can I ask one question?

1633
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:28,040
>> If there is a follow-up

1634
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:29,040
question, absolutely.

1635
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,040
>> Does anyone know, Cadillac

1636
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:35,040
Fairview no longer owns what we

1637
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:37,040
understand to have been the

1638
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:41,040
original 50 acres. The REM has

1639
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:46,040
cut into it. The word is that

1640
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:50,040
there are 43 acres left. Does

1641
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,040
anyone know or does anyone wish

1642
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:56,040
to find out what they meant was

1643
01:04:56,040 --> 01:05:00,000
made by the government or REM to

1644
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:04,000
Cadillac Fairview for probably

1645
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:07,000
happily confiscating this amount

1646
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:10,000
-- of territory? Say, if it were

1647
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:13,000
ten acres, ten acres out of the

1648
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:18,000
50, then that's 20%. And they

1649
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:22,000
paid $50 million. So now, and

1650
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,000
it's 2013 purchase, it would've

1651
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:29,000
been 40 million. I bounced these

1652
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:31,000
ideas around my head, in terms

1653
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:35,000
of the value of our paying for

1654
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:40,000
going forward. Mr. Cowan

1655
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,000
believes with his knowledge of

1656
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:46,000
the business of this council

1657
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,000
that it could be, you know, a

1658
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,000
$10 million that could -- we

1659
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,000
could come up with it. I think a

1660
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:54,000
tremendous amount of fund

1661
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,000
raising done under the auspices

1662
01:05:56,000 --> 01:06:00,060
of the -- a charitable

1663
01:06:00,060 --> 01:06:03,060
organization, maybe could form a

1664
01:06:03,060 --> 01:06:05,060
charitable organization. When I

1665
01:06:05,060 --> 01:06:07,060
called the legacy fund to ask

1666
01:06:07,060 --> 01:06:09,060
about this, they said, perhaps

1667
01:06:09,060 --> 01:06:13,060
your mayor, your counsel can.

1668
01:06:13,060 --> 01:06:16,060
This is an endeavour. I don't

1669
01:06:16,060 --> 01:06:17,060
see action. I think most of us

1670
01:06:17,060 --> 01:06:21,060
have not seen action. We are

1671
01:06:21,060 --> 01:06:23,060
here, yes, we want to save it.

1672
01:06:23,060 --> 01:06:28,060
But those are just words. But if

1673
01:06:28,060 --> 01:06:30,060
there were physical, actionable

1674
01:06:30,060 --> 01:06:33,060
steps that we are making, it

1675
01:06:33,060 --> 01:06:36,060
would serve our community well.

1676
01:06:36,060 --> 01:06:40,060
Especially since 54% of the

1677
01:06:40,060 --> 01:06:42,060
vote, we don't know how many

1678
01:06:42,060 --> 01:06:44,060
people, possibly, 40% of our

1679
01:06:44,060 --> 01:06:46,060
population voted in the last

1680
01:06:46,060 --> 01:06:50,060
election. They voted for the two

1681
01:06:50,060 --> 01:06:51,060
candidates who wish to preserve

1682
01:06:51,060 --> 01:06:56,060
the forest. And really question

1683
01:06:56,060 --> 01:06:59,060
our development, our building

1684
01:06:59,060 --> 01:07:01,020
development, perhaps, without

1685
01:07:01,020 --> 01:07:03,020
the infrastructure to sustain

1686
01:07:03,020 --> 01:07:06,020
us. So, I'm finished. Thank you.

1687
01:07:06,020 --> 01:07:07,020
>> Is there a question?

1688
01:07:07,020 --> 01:07:09,020
>> Yes, yes.

1689
01:07:09,020 --> 01:07:10,020
>> What is your subsequent

1690
01:07:10,020 --> 01:07:12,020
question?

1691
01:07:12,020 --> 01:07:17,020
>> Would you get going on SARA?

1692
01:07:17,020 --> 01:07:20,020
>> On SARA? We can certainly

1693
01:07:20,020 --> 01:07:21,020
research it.

1694
01:07:21,020 --> 01:07:24,020
>> Well, I would say, go to

1695
01:07:24,020 --> 01:07:25,020
Campbell Stewart, first of all.

1696
01:07:25,020 --> 01:07:27,020
I think he would be very, very

1697
01:07:27,020 --> 01:07:31,020
helpful. The legacy fund. They

1698
01:07:31,020 --> 01:07:34,020
were involved with TerraHumana.

1699
01:07:34,020 --> 01:07:36,020
Of course, if you read anything

1700
01:07:36,020 --> 01:07:38,020
about him and his group, the

1701
01:07:38,020 --> 01:07:41,020
legacy environmental group, it

1702
01:07:41,020 --> 01:07:43,020
has gone in and won many, many

1703
01:07:43,020 --> 01:07:45,020
court cases over the decades. It

1704
01:07:45,020 --> 01:07:49,020
is a slow slog. So there is

1705
01:07:49,020 --> 01:07:52,020
that. And also, help me help

1706
01:07:52,020 --> 01:07:57,020
others find the organization or

1707
01:07:58,020 --> 01:08:00,080
just say, you know, we are

1708
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:02,080
fundraising to put in escrow,

1709
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:07,080
perhaps the 10 million that Mr.

1710
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:09,080
Cowan spoke of in his letter to

1711
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:11,080
the editor, maybe that could be

1712
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:13,080
put in escrow. I'm full of ideas

1713
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:15,080
and that's about it.

1714
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:17,080
>> Thank you very much, Miss do

1715
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:20,080
miss. We will certainly become

1716
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:25,080
informed on SARA. Next up, can

1717
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:28,080
lions.

1718
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:30,080
>> Good evening. Simple

1719
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:34,080
question, item 14.5. We award a

1720
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:36,080
contract to companies, and yet

1721
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:38,080
there is only one amount that

1722
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:40,080
shows there, the total sum.

1723
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:43,080
Shouldn't that be split into, so

1724
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:46,080
we know which goes to what?

1725
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:48,080
>> That's 14.5?

1726
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:49,080
>> Yes.

1727
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:54,080
>> Okay. Madame Verdun. Should

1728
01:08:55,080 --> 01:09:00,040
that be split into.

1729
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,040
>> We have the contract for both

1730
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:06,040
companies. We can have the

1731
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:07,040
amount. We have it with us.

1732
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:09,040
>> All I am saying --

1733
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:10,040
>> The details --

1734
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:12,040
>> All I'm saying is it seems to

1735
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:14,040
me that we have two companies

1736
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:15,040
and we are showing one amount.

1737
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,040
>> Yes, but this is only the

1738
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:18,040
title of the resolution. When

1739
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:21,040
you see the resolution, we will

1740
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:23,040
have both amounts.

1741
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:25,040
>> I have two amounts, Mr.

1742
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:30,040
lions. The lot a, in the co Inc.

1743
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:36,040
, Is $62,109.95.

1744
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:38,040
>> Okay, I can do the math for

1745
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:39,040
the rest. Thank you

1746
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:42,040
>> Good!

1747
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:44,040
>> The other thing is, you know,

1748
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:47,040
I've been a homeowner for too

1749
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:50,040
long to mention, anyhow. When my

1750
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:53,040
roof leaked, I took care of it

1751
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:56,040
like right now. You know,

1752
01:09:56,040 --> 01:10:00,000
because of the damage. Help me

1753
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,000
understand why the City of

1754
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,000
Pointe-Claire has the equivalent

1755
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,000
of a roof they are responsible

1756
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,000
for, which is the overpass --

1757
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,000
which are the overpasses we have

1758
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,000
on Saint-Jean. I was down over

1759
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:17,000
the railway overpass and also

1760
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,000
the highway overpass coming

1761
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:23,000
back. The potholes, the

1762
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,000
potholes. They are not being

1763
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:26,000
repaired. I know it's a horrible

1764
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,000
time, it's winter and all that.

1765
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:32,000
But it seems to me that it's a

1766
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:36,000
very expensive expense.

1767
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:39,000
Expensive expense. Expensive

1768
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,000
amount to maintain those super

1769
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:42,000
structures which are only

1770
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,000
controlled by the Québec

1771
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:45,000
government. Who is the Québec

1772
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,000
government? We all are the

1773
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:49,000
Québec government. So, it's not

1774
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:50,000
really taking care of the

1775
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,000
assets. So, why are we not

1776
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:55,000
taking care of them?

1777
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:59,000
>> Well, the experts determined

1778
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,060
value per dollar how they are to

1779
01:11:01,060 --> 01:11:04,060
be maintained and at the cost

1780
01:11:04,060 --> 01:11:06,060
that is raised in taxes. It's

1781
01:11:06,060 --> 01:11:07,060
the simple answer to your

1782
01:11:07,060 --> 01:11:09,060
question. And that is what the

1783
01:11:09,060 --> 01:11:12,060
experts decide. And the non

1784
01:11:12,060 --> 01:11:14,060
experts comply or accept a

1785
01:11:14,060 --> 01:11:17,060
greater increase in costs and do

1786
01:11:17,060 --> 01:11:20,060
it more rapidly. That is --

1787
01:11:20,060 --> 01:11:21,060
governance.

1788
01:11:21,060 --> 01:11:22,060
>> So it's not going to cost us

1789
01:11:22,060 --> 01:11:23,060
anymore if we let it degrade and

1790
01:11:23,060 --> 01:11:25,060
then the whole thing comes down?

1791
01:11:25,060 --> 01:11:27,060
>> I would assume --

1792
01:11:27,060 --> 01:11:29,060
>> There would be a horrible

1793
01:11:29,060 --> 01:11:31,060
traffic mess. That's

1794
01:11:31,060 --> 01:11:32,060
nonsensical.

1795
01:11:32,060 --> 01:11:33,060
>> I am assuming --

1796
01:11:33,060 --> 01:11:34,060
>> Pardon me?

1797
01:11:34,060 --> 01:11:35,060
>> I'm assuming the engineers

1798
01:11:35,060 --> 01:11:36,060
and the specialist in this world

1799
01:11:36,060 --> 01:11:38,060
that look after this for a

1800
01:11:38,060 --> 01:11:39,060
living do not do it to look --

1801
01:11:39,060 --> 01:11:43,060
to lose money for the taxpayer.

1802
01:11:43,060 --> 01:11:46,060
They have -- they repair them --

1803
01:11:46,060 --> 01:11:48,060
way too much to fix them. I am

1804
01:11:48,060 --> 01:11:51,060
assuming that because that is

1805
01:11:51,060 --> 01:11:53,060
generally what most governments

1806
01:11:53,060 --> 01:11:55,060
do with fixing roads and

1807
01:11:55,060 --> 01:11:57,060
infrastructure. And that is the

1808
01:11:57,060 --> 01:11:58,060
calculus of experts, that's what

1809
01:11:58,060 --> 01:12:01,020
it is. I can't answer that one.

1810
01:12:01,020 --> 01:12:02,020
Does anybody else want to take a

1811
01:12:02,020 --> 01:12:03,020
stab at that one?

1812
01:12:03,020 --> 01:12:04,020
>> I just want to know if you

1813
01:12:04,020 --> 01:12:06,020
are talking about the overpass

1814
01:12:06,020 --> 01:12:09,020
20 or the 40, or both of them.

1815
01:12:09,020 --> 01:12:11,020
>> I am talking about the

1816
01:12:11,020 --> 01:12:12,020
asphalt that the City of

1817
01:12:12,020 --> 01:12:13,020
Pointe-Claire is responsible

1818
01:12:13,020 --> 01:12:17,020
for, which is the roof for the

1819
01:12:17,020 --> 01:12:18,020
overpasses.

1820
01:12:18,020 --> 01:12:20,020
>> On the one on the 40, Highway

1821
01:12:20,020 --> 01:12:21,020
40? Or the 20?

1822
01:12:21,020 --> 01:12:24,020
>> The problem is in both of

1823
01:12:24,020 --> 01:12:25,020
them.

1824
01:12:25,020 --> 01:12:26,020
>> In both of them, okay.

1825
01:12:26,020 --> 01:12:27,020
>> And also the railway

1826
01:12:27,020 --> 01:12:29,020
overpass. There's some wicked

1827
01:12:29,020 --> 01:12:31,020
holes in their, that's the

1828
01:12:31,020 --> 01:12:35,020
point. Is there a reason why

1829
01:12:35,020 --> 01:12:36,020
they cannot be fixed?

1830
01:12:36,020 --> 01:12:38,020
>> They will be fixed. For now,

1831
01:12:38,020 --> 01:12:42,020
public works is working on the

1832
01:12:42,020 --> 01:12:43,020
snow in the street. And they are

1833
01:12:43,020 --> 01:12:45,020
supposed to do potholes later on

1834
01:12:45,020 --> 01:12:46,020
this week.

1835
01:12:46,020 --> 01:12:47,020
>> I'd be happy to see that,

1836
01:12:47,020 --> 01:12:51,020
thank you.

1837
01:12:51,020 --> 01:12:53,020
>> Gilles of Lucia.

1838
01:12:59,020 --> 01:13:01,080
>> Good, evening everybody. My

1839
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:04,080
question is about 8.1, to

1840
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:06,080
approve the evaluation criteria

1841
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:08,080
to be used within the framework

1842
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:10,080
of the call for tenders. --

1843
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:12,080
Ecosystem and ecological

1844
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:15,080
services. I noticed the call for

1845
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:17,080
tender for this study is already

1846
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:21,080
on the website. And so, you are

1847
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:24,080
approving the criteria now. With

1848
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:26,080
regard to that criteria or

1849
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,080
submissions from companies, I do

1850
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:31,080
have concerns about companies

1851
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:33,080
that may have already completed

1852
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:35,080
studies for privately owned

1853
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:38,080
companies involved in this.

1854
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:39,080
Evaluation I'm wondering how the

1855
01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:41,080
City will respond to that

1856
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:43,080
concern if you would consider

1857
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:46,080
submissions and or -- within

1858
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:49,080
that criteria, if you end up --

1859
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:50,080
I'm not being very clear. If you

1860
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:51,080
would consider companies that

1861
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:53,080
have already submitted data at

1862
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,080
the private companies that own

1863
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:58,080
property. If that's clear.

1864
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:00,040
[Laughter]

1865
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:01,040
>> Yeah, if I understand

1866
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:04,040
correctly, you want to know if

1867
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:07,040
we will allow a company that has

1868
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:09,040
already done that kind of

1869
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:11,040
follow-up for the private

1870
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:12,040
sector?

1871
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:13,040
>> Yes.

1872
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:14,040
>> It's not a criteria that we

1873
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:17,040
can add in a tender offer. It's

1874
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:19,040
not a criteria that we have to

1875
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,040
submit. They have to submit the

1876
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:22,040
experience they have. It's not

1877
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:24,040
something that we can --.

1878
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:26,040
>> The criteria you are talking

1879
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:29,040
about is criteria that -- not

1880
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:30,040
criteria that you are using, you

1881
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:32,040
are using criteria that the

1882
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:34,040
companies have to fill in to

1883
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:36,040
fill out the form. But the form

1884
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:39,040
is already on the STA website.

1885
01:14:57,040 --> 01:14:58,040
Les soumissionnaires n'ont pas

1886
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:00,000
cette grille-là, on leur demande

1887
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,000
certaines informations sur

1888
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:05,000
lesquelles on les évalue, mais

1889
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:06,000
les critères qu'on évalue ce

1890
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:10,000
soir c'est les critères que le

1891
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:13,000
conseil va adopter ce soir ou

1892
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:16,000
pas, je présume. C'est les

1893
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:19,000
critères qui sont généraux et

1894
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:23,000
spécifiques à à ce type

1895
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:25,000
d'études-là. Généraux dans les

1896
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:26,000
soumissions qu'on va recevoir.

1897
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:28,000
On va voir ces réponses-là. La

1898
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:30,000
question que vous posez dès le

1899
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:33,000
départ c'est: est-ce qu'on a un

1900
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:36,000
critère qui exige que le

1901
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:38,000
soumissionnaires ait ou non fait

1902
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,000
ce type d'études-là pour la

1903
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:42,000
compagnie privée? Je peux vous

1904
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:43,000
dire d'emblée que ce n'est pas

1905
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:45,000
un critère qui apparaît. On

1906
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:46,000
demande une inexpérience, on

1907
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:47,000
demande aux soumissionnaires de

1908
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:50,000
nous démontrer son expérience,

1909
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:52,000
sa compétence, son expertise. On

1910
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,000
ne va pas dans le fin détail de

1911
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:56,000
savoir si ils

1912
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:57,000
(inaudible)

1913
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:58,000
ont des compagnies privées au

1914
01:15:58,000 --> 01:15:59,000
public.

1915
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:00,060
- Les conflits d'intérêts n'est

1916
01:16:00,060 --> 01:16:01,060
pas divulgué?

1917
01:16:01,060 --> 01:16:02,060
- Non, ce qu'on n'a pas régler,

1918
01:16:02,060 --> 01:16:04,060
quand le soumissionnaires à la

1919
01:16:04,060 --> 01:16:06,060
Duffy qu'à terre. Il y a une

1920
01:16:06,060 --> 01:16:07,060
déclaration faite du

1921
01:16:07,060 --> 01:16:08,060
soumissionnaire à chaque fois,

1922
01:16:08,060 --> 01:16:10,060
où il dévoile ce genre

1923
01:16:10,060 --> 01:16:11,060
d'information-là. On a

1924
01:16:11,060 --> 01:16:12,060
déclaration de soumissionnaires

1925
01:16:12,060 --> 01:16:15,060
hall doit démontrer l'absence de

1926
01:16:15,060 --> 01:16:16,060
conflit d'intérêts.

1927
01:16:16,060 --> 01:16:20,060
- Excellent, merci. J'ai deux

1928
01:16:21,060 --> 01:16:26,060
questions. Ma question plus

1929
01:16:26,060 --> 01:16:27,060
importante c'est: pourquoi

1930
01:16:27,060 --> 01:16:28,060
l'étude est seulement pour huit

1931
01:16:28,060 --> 01:16:31,060
mois et non 12 mois, comme avait

1932
01:16:31,060 --> 01:16:34,060
été discutée? Je ne sais pas si

1933
01:16:34,060 --> 01:16:37,060
quelqu'un va répondre. Dans le

1934
01:16:37,060 --> 01:16:38,060
(inaudible)

1935
01:16:38,060 --> 01:16:43,060
ça dit huit mois.

1936
01:16:43,060 --> 01:16:44,060
- Dans le fond, c'est les

1937
01:16:44,060 --> 01:16:45,060
experts qu'on a à la Ville, ils

1938
01:16:45,060 --> 01:16:47,060
ont jugé bon que pour un

1939
01:16:47,060 --> 01:16:48,060
écosystémiques, qui était une

1940
01:16:48,060 --> 01:16:50,060
étude vraiment sur les systèmes

1941
01:16:50,060 --> 01:16:53,060
à la grandeur que huit mois

1942
01:16:53,060 --> 01:16:54,060
c'était quelque chose qui était

1943
01:16:54,060 --> 01:16:55,060
suffisant selon leurs

1944
01:16:55,060 --> 01:16:56,060
recherches, les discussions

1945
01:16:56,060 --> 01:16:58,060
qu'ils ont eues avec des gens

1946
01:16:58,060 --> 01:17:01,020
des autres villes...

1947
01:17:01,020 --> 01:17:02,020
- Donc ça ne considérait pas du

1948
01:17:02,020 --> 01:17:03,020
tout la biodiversité?

1949
01:17:03,020 --> 01:17:07,020
- Non, c'est vraiment une étude

1950
01:17:07,020 --> 01:17:08,020
écosystémiques, donc ce n'est

1951
01:17:08,020 --> 01:17:09,020
pas Nick petites écologique et

1952
01:17:09,020 --> 01:17:10,020
de biodiversité. C'est vraiment

1953
01:17:10,020 --> 01:17:12,020
une étude écosystémiques. C'est

1954
01:17:12,020 --> 01:17:13,020
la première étape.

1955
01:17:13,020 --> 01:17:15,020
- La première étape. O.K.,

1956
01:17:15,020 --> 01:17:19,020
merci!

1957
01:17:20,020 --> 01:17:22,020
>> I believe that concludes

1958
01:17:22,020 --> 01:17:23,020
question period?

1959
01:17:23,020 --> 01:17:24,020
>> No, somebody was added,

1960
01:17:24,020 --> 01:17:25,020
Alicia right.

1961
01:17:25,020 --> 01:17:29,020
>> Alicia right.

1962
01:17:29,020 --> 01:17:31,020
>> Good evening, members of the

1963
01:17:31,020 --> 01:17:33,020
council and administration. I'm

1964
01:17:33,020 --> 01:17:35,020
very happy to be here tonight. I

1965
01:17:35,020 --> 01:17:39,020
just have two short questions.

1966
01:17:39,020 --> 01:17:41,020
So I noticed about on the

1967
01:17:41,020 --> 01:17:42,020
previous council agenda, there

1968
01:17:42,020 --> 01:17:44,020
were four nonprofit

1969
01:17:44,020 --> 01:17:45,020
organizations that received a

1970
01:17:45,020 --> 01:17:49,020
total sum of $8,935 for, I

1971
01:17:49,020 --> 01:17:51,020
guess, operations are projects.

1972
01:17:51,020 --> 01:17:54,020
I wanted to know, as a non that

1973
01:17:54,020 --> 01:17:56,020
is serving the community and has

1974
01:17:56,020 --> 01:17:58,020
been serving the community since

1975
01:17:58,020 --> 01:18:00,080
2008, I just wanted to know

1976
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,080
where we should be looking for

1977
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:03,080
funds, specifically from

1978
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:04,080
Pointe-Claire. Because we really

1979
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:05,080
want to increase what we are

1980
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:07,080
doing in the Pointe-Claire area.

1981
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:09,080
I did find on the website that

1982
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:12,080
there is funding through support

1983
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:13,080
framework for community action.

1984
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:14,080
But I wanted to know if there is

1985
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:16,080
something else that we have not

1986
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:17,080
seen.

1987
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:21,080
>> No, I think that's the one.

1988
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:24,080
We have a structured process.

1989
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:25,080
That is the one.

1990
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:28,080
>> That is the only one, okay.

1991
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:30,080
The second question I have is we

1992
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:31,080
are currently organizing a

1993
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:32,080
fundraising walk, we've done

1994
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:34,080
this for the -- it's called cold

1995
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:35,080
march for the homeless.

1996
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:39,080
Normally, we used to do this in

1997
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:41,080
Westmount, walking to the Old

1998
01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:42,080
Brewery Mission because we have

1999
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:43,080
a lot of partnerships with them,

2000
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:45,080
we would go to their facilities

2001
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:47,080
and cook for the residents and

2002
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,080
so on. But we wanted to, now

2003
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:51,080
that we are in the West Island,

2004
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:53,080
we wanted to shift to doing

2005
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:54,080
that. Here in the past, when we

2006
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:56,080
did this in Westmount, we had to

2007
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,080
organize with the police station

2008
01:18:58,080 --> 01:18:59,080
so they would be aware we are

2009
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:00,040
doing the walk, so there could

2010
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:04,040
be increased police supervision

2011
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:07,040
or supervision along the route.

2012
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:08,040
So we just want to know, is

2013
01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:09,040
there something similar we need

2014
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:11,040
to do to do this walk? And for

2015
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:13,040
this, year we would like to do

2016
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:15,040
it from 30 avenue Queen, where

2017
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:19,040
we are located, to the ricochet

2018
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:21,040
Centre. Because we have a few

2019
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:22,040
partnerships with them and we

2020
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:23,040
have gone there and provided

2021
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:26,040
food for them, we've cooked for

2022
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:27,040
them. They love us, we love

2023
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:29,040
them. We want to continue that

2024
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:30,040
partnership.

2025
01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:31,040
>> We've certainly done this in

2026
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:35,040
the past. Is there a specific

2027
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:38,040
way she can organize that?

2028
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:42,040
>> She has to contact the --

2029
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:43,040
department and see what the team

2030
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:45,040
if it's possible, the, time

2031
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:46,040
everything for the team and we

2032
01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:47,040
will have a contact with the

2033
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:49,040
police and everything. You have

2034
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:52,040
to contact. You can speak with

2035
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:54,040
Tony. He will help you through

2036
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:55,040

regarding the National Field of

Honour. The purpose of the

resolution is to express our

2087
01:21:19,060 --> 01:21:22,060
support for the last post fund

ask that the resolution at 6.2

from rural farm and cottage

2103
01:22:51,020 --> 01:22:54,020
country to the city, it is today

2104
01:22:54,020 --> 01:22:56,020
closely so CA did with Canada's

2105
01:22:56,020 --> 01:22:58,020
military veterans who settled

2106
01:22:58,020 --> 01:23:00,080
here in housing developments

2107
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:03,080
directed by the federal

2108
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:05,080
government and which are

2109
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:08,080
commemorated and or built

2110
01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:09,080
heritage as the veterans area

2111
01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:11,080
who contributed to building the

2112
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:13,080
many institutions that continue

2113
01:23:13,080 --> 01:23:15,080
to serve the community to this

2114
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:18,080
day and who participated in our

2115
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:19,080
municipal government as

2116
01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:22,080
councillor and mayor. Whereas

2117
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:24,080
the national field of honour,

2118
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:26,080
the final resting place of many

2119
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:27,080
of these veterans and members of

2120
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:30,080
their immediate families, is

2121
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:32,080
located on the territory of the

2122
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:35,080
City of Pointe-Claire. Whereas

2123
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:36,080
Pointe-Claire recognizes that

2124
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:39,080
the liberty we enjoy today comes

2125
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:41,080
at a great cost and that those

2126
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:44,080
among us who paid or were fully

2127
01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:46,080
prepared to pay that cost come

2128
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:49,080
in the deep appreciation of

2129
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:50,080
their fellow countrymen and

2130
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:52,080
women. Whereas that appreciation

2131
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:55,080
is in part made manifest by

2132
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:57,080
providing Canada's military

2133
01:23:57,080 --> 01:23:58,080
veterans and their immediate

2134
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,040
families with the final resting

2135
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,040
place in the carefully

2136
01:24:02,040 --> 01:24:03,040
maintained National Field of

2137
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:06,040
Honour. Whereas the National

2138
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:09,040
Field of Honour also serves as

2139
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:12,040
an appropriate perpetual

2140
01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:14,040
memorial to honour past service

2141
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:16,040
and to inspire continuous

2142
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:19,040
commitment to safeguard Canada's

2143
01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:22,040
national purpose and identity.

2144
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:24,040
Whereas the Last Post Fund has,

2145
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:27,040
in recent years, recognized that

2146
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:30,040
no longer has the capacity to

2147
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:33,040
continue to provide perpetual

2148
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:34,040
car -- care and maintenance for

2149
01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:36,040
this memorial and cemetery, as

2150
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:39,040
it has been steadfast in doing

2151
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:43,040
for almost 100 years. Whereas

2152
01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:48,040
the Last Post Fund isn't

2153
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:50,040
recognition that its specific

2154
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:52,040
mission to honour veterans

2155
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,040
through offering them a

2156
01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:57,040
dignified resting place in the

2157
01:24:57,040 --> 01:24:58,040
National Field of Honour falls

2158
01:24:58,040 --> 01:25:00,000

of veterans Affairs Canada, to

01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:08,000
honour and memorialize Canada's

National Field of Honour.

capital that remains dedicated

2167
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:23,000
for its maintenance. Whereas

to ensure the National Field of

Honour remains in -- an

appropriate and respectful

possible the same high

years to come by offering to

stewardship. That the City of

territory of the City of

2783
01:43:55,080 --> 01:43:58,080
Pointe-Claire. In the summer of

2784
01:43:58,080 --> 01:44:01,040
2022, the City mandated -- to

2785
01:44:01,040 --> 01:44:03,040

the absence of a rule allowing
