  • SPEAKING NOTES Mayor Jim Watson Budget 2019 Tabling Building a City with Better Roads, Housing, Transit and Safe Communities Wednesday, February 6, 2019 ********
    SPEAKING NOTES Mayor Jim Watson Budget 2019 Tabling Building a City with Better Roads, Housing, Transit and Safe Communities Wednesday, February 6, 2019 ******** Good morning everyone. Bonjour tout le monde. Today we are pleased to table the draft 2019 Budget for consideration and public input. The tabling of the Budget is the single most important discussion we have as a City each year. Page 1 of 54 C’est la discussion la plus importante que nous avons à chaque année. I had the pleasure of attending various ward consultations and I found that residents often have competing expectations regarding the City’s budget. However, they are also realistic about the City’s fiscal capacity – they know we have to set a limited number of priorities while living within our means. This year is particularly challenging given the compressed timeline resulting from the municipal election. Page 2 of 54 I am pleased to report that we are bringing forward a budget for 2019 that delivers on key commitments, namely: • reducing our infrastructure gap by boosting our spending on roads and sidewalks; • providing more affordable housing; and • making our communities safer and more resilient. Avec le budget 2019, nous investissons davantage dans nos routes et trottoirs et dans le logement abordable, et nous rendrons notre communauté plus sécuritaire. I want to start by sharing highlights of how Budget 2019 can help improve the lives of Ottawa residents. Page 3 of 54 Under Council’s direction, I believe we have assembled a spending plan for 2019 that balances key needs and priorities across our growing city.

Increasing rents and declining quality of housing for students is a serious issue that impacts the health and safety of students across Ontario. How would you address this issue? In 2012, the City of Ottawa made it so that graduate student parents would be pushed to the bottom of the wait list for child care subsidies, making it near impossible for students working on a Masters or PhD to have access to affordable child care. Do you support this policy/ how would you improve child care in Ottawa? Municipalities make important decisions about public facilities like libraries and community centres including when they’re open, what programs they can offer and the cost of user fees (if there are any). How do you see services in Ottawa over the next 4 years?
