COUNCIL of the CITY of WINNIPEG Wednesday, December 13, 2017 COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WINNIPEG Wednesday, December 13, 2017 The Council met at 9:41 a.m. The Clerk advised the Speaker that a quorum was present. The Speaker called the meeting to order. The opening prayer was read by Councillor Schreyer. ROLL CALL Clerk: Madam Speaker Councillor Sharma, His Worship Mayor Bowman, Councillors Allard, Browaty, Dobson, Eadie, Gerbasi, Gillingham, Gilroy, Lukes, Mayes, Morantz, Orlikow, Pagtakhan, Schreyer and Wyatt. INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME OF GUESTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Madam Speaker: I would like to now recognize our pages for today's meeting, please welcome Avery Groeneveld who resides in the South Winnipeg-St. Norbert Ward and she attends Fort Richmond Collegiate. Also with us is Max Thompson, who attends St. Boniface Diocesan High School and resides in the St. Boniface Ward. Thank you both for joining us and for serving Council today. Mr. Mayor, you now have the floor for morning announcements. Mayor Bowman: Thank you, Madam Speaker and good morning to everyone that’s joined us here in person in the gallery, all those that are watching via Livestream, welcome to our pages. My wife was a…is a graduate, a very proud graduate of F.R.C. and so welcome to you both. And I do have just a few very short remarks to make this morning. I had the recent pleasure of having my first formal meeting with the new Grand Chief of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, Mr. Arlen Dumas, welcomed him here to this floor for a tour and I’m wearing the A.M.C. pin today in respect of all our members of our First Nations and our Indigenous community here in Winnipeg and across Manitoba. I want to thank him very much for the ongoing dialogue and collaboration. A.M.C. has been…has been a strong partner in our journey to reconciliation, is a proud signatory to the Indigenous Accord and I want to acknowledge and thank him and other leaders in our community that have joined the Indigenous Accord. As well as all of my Council colleagues who were there for a very historic day back in June. This last month has been very busy for us. I know many of us have spent a lot of time in this chamber. I know a number of guests in the gallery have been here numerous times as well and I’m sure everyone here today has lots on their plate both here at City Hall as well as preparing for the holiday season. And I want to thank all of my colleagues for all of the extra time they've invested over the last few weeks as we consider the 2018 Preliminary Budget. It seems like only yesterday we were in this chamber debating the budget. As all of us know, this time that we spend here working on behalf of our citizens does come at the expense of time with family and friends and I just wanted to acknowledge the significant time commitment that all of us continue to make on behalf of Winnipeggers that we so proudly serve. And I want to wish all councillors all the very best over the holiday season. I hope everyone is able to enjoy a safe and enjoyable holiday period. I want to wish everybody a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and overall just an enjoyable holiday season with your family, your friends and your loved ones. As well as I want to extend a holiday greeting to all of our valued City of Winnipeg staff and Winnipeggers across our city. Just a reminder, of course, to please be responsible during the holiday period when I know many are enjoying or celebrating with drinks, so just remind everybody to please plan ahead and drive safely. Finally, I’d like to recognize the hard work and the dedication of our emergency workers and responders and to thank them for helping to keep us all safe, keep our loved ones safe and our neighbours and our friends and family over this holiday period. We're very grateful you're there for us over the holiday season and throughout the year and with that, I just wish you Madam Speaker and my Council colleagues, all the very best of the holiday season. Thank you, merci and megwich. Madam Speaker: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Councillor Mayes for your morning announcements. Councillor Mayes: Thank you, Madam Speaker. Firstly, just to clear the record, I’ve never done the singing thing that Councillor Schreyer is giving, but I have quoted many a song lyric here so my thanks to Councillor Schreyer for that recognition. Two things briefly, Madam Speaker, because it's a communications item, we won't technically be debating the Ward Boundaries Commission Fund Report, but I just wanted to commend Clerk Lemoine and the two other commissioners who I think did a very good job, others may have different views, but this was something that Councillor Lukes and I both pushed for the discrepancies and sizes of wards had frankly have become untenable or unworkable and so I’m very pleased we went for it. We took the latest data that was available, did a very fair job I think of realigning boundaries in terms of making the size of the different wards much more equitable. I might have drawn different lines 2 COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WINNIPEG December 13, 2017 somewhere, others might have drawn different lines somewhere, but by and large the total size of each ward now is much more similar and there's…there's accounting for growth in there as well so my thanks to Mr. Lemoine and the others for undertaking what we only do about once every 10 years around here, so we probably won't have the chance to talk about this again, but certainly it’s in my view even-handed and non-partisan job that was done. The last item that I did want to rise…did want to rise to say a few words about Al Shane, who’s our head of Golf Services who’s going to be retiring at the end of this year and I think Councillor Gilroy was going to do the same, but he's been a happy warrior in the sometimes less than happy Canoe Club public consultation that we're having which has been the democracy in action. We have a lot of people with a lot of different views, but Al has been unfailingly attentive, good-natured and he's a believer in our product, a product of public golf. He's been a champion for that. I think he's done a very good job. I think we're going in the right direction. So I just want to make a personal note of thanks to Mr. Shane who…who’s been frankly a lot of fun to work with and I wish him well in retirement. Madam Speaker: Thank you, Councillor Mayes for that. MINUTES Councillor Pagtakhan moves that the Minutes of the meeting held on November 15, 2017 be taken as read and confirmed. Madam Speaker: All in favour? Contrary? Carried. Councillor Lukes. DELEGATIONS Councillor Lukes: Madam Speaker, I would like to suspend the rules so that we could hear delegations from Jason Carter, bike to Winnipeg…Bike Winnipeg. Madam Speaker: Okay, all in favour of the suspension? Contrary? Carried. He's added to the list. Thank you very much. I have been informed that Mr. Sel Burrows has an urgent family medical issue to deal with. He’s on the delegation list, but with your concurrence, I’d like to move him to the front of the list. Thank you. Mr. Sel Burrows, if I could please call you up at this time along with Annette Champion Taylor. They're here in…to speak to the notice of motion moved by Councillor Eadie and seconded by Councillor Browaty, regarding the North District Police Station. You have 10 minutes, sir, and welcome. Sel Burrows: Thank you. Is…I have a copy of my motion. I think there's enough copies there. First of all, I’d like to say thanks to allowing me to speak first. Being old and being a caregiver, becoming a caregiver, makes it a little more difficult to be involved in civic issues and…but I think it's very important that the inner-city voice be heard. I’m here in support of Councillor Eadie’s motion regarding the placement of the North Winnipeg Police Station. I think everyone here is aware of the strong support from the community of North Point Douglas for our Winnipeg Police Service. Personally, I’ve had a fantastically warm working relationship going back with Chief Keith McCaskill who really encouraged us to become involved. Chief Clunis was another person who cared deeply about the inner-city and now I’m able to work very, very closely with Danny Smyth, he's come and sat in my living room and discussed issues. We don't always agree, but I certainly have a huge amount of respect for him, particularly in the difficult issues he's dealing with at the moment. I’m speaking to this in terms of having some expertise. I had the honour of serving on the Police Advisory Committee, the predecessor of the Police Board, appointed by Sam Katz who knew l would never vote for him, but he still appointed me to that, which was kind of interesting. We definitely need a new police station in the North End.

    The Honourable Marc Garneau P.C., M.P. Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada Global Affairs Canada 125 Sussex Drive Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G2 Tuesday, June 22nd 2021 Object: Audit of the financial and personal connections of Hong Kong officials in Canada Dear Minister, We the undersigned, are writing to raise our concern about the deteriorating human rights situation in Hong Kong and to urge the Canadian Government to undertake an audit of the financial and personal connections Hong Kong officials have in Canada. In the recent months, we have seen Beijing continue its crackdown on the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong with the mass arrest and charging of 47 pro-democracy activists under the National Security Law, the introduction of electoral reform which would prevent pro- democracy parties from standing for election, the freezing of the owner of Apple Daily Jimmy Lai’s assets, the passing of an Immigration Bill which would give the Chinese Government the power to restrict freedom of movement into and out of the city, and the banning of the June 4 Tiananmen Square vigil. In the middle of Beijing’s destruction of Hong Kong’s autonomy, rule of law, and way of life, stand thousands of Canadian citizens who are fearful of their future in the city. They are desperately waiting on the Canadian Government and its allies to act. With nearly every prominent pro-democracy voice in Hong Kong in jail, awaiting trial, or overseas in exile, it is clear that there is an increased need for a robust and coordinated response against the Hong Kong officials who are responsible for human rights abuses and the crackdown on the pro- democracy movement in the city.

  • April 28, 2020 Honourable Catherine Mckenna Minister of Infrastructure
    April 28, 2020 Honourable Catherine McKenna Minister of Infrastructure and Communities [email protected] Dear Minister McKenna, We write as twenty (20) business organizations representing a broad cross-section of Manitoba’s economy collectively employing tens of thousands of women and men. Those industries include engineering & consulting, heavy civil and 2 vertical construction, commercial and residential development, manufacturing & exporting, retail, agriculture, commercial trucking and skilled trades. Our appeal to the federal government is that it assist in our provincial economic recovery by accelerating the approvals of and flexibility in the allocation from federal programs. Such measures would enable funding of key Manitoba projects that would immediately procure jobs, build legacy assets and be key instruments in help kick-staring Manitoba’s economy. The above is necessary to help correct the lack of confidence in the economy by all its sectors, the alarm, anxiety and fear of what lies ahead around the corner, and indeed where that corner is. That has led to private-sector projects being deferred or outright canceled. Those decision have resulted in lost jobs, supply and equipment sales, all of which reduces the collective ROI to GDP. Addressing consumer and investor confidence is critical to our recovery. In that regard, we understand the Province of Manitoba has communicated its commitment to flow its capital programs, harnessing investment in infrastructure to help Manitoba’s economy recover. We are told Manitoba has more than $6B in project submissions for the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) with many being shovel ready. We urge the federal government to make the most of the current market conditions - competitive bid prices and extraordinarily low interest rates - to meet the formidable economic challenge in front of us.

    Cystic Fibrosis Canada Ontario Suite 800 – 2323 Yonge Street Toronto, ON M4P 2C9 416.485.9149 ext. 297 [email protected] www.cysticfibrosis.ca Hon. Patty Hajdu Minister of Health Government of Canada February 27, 2021 Dear Minister Hajdu, We are members of an all-party caucus on emergency access to Trikafta, a game-changing therapy that can treat 90% of the cystic fibrosis population. We are writing to thank you for your commitment to fast- tracking access to Trikafta and to let you know that we are here to collaborate with you in this work. We know that an application for review of Trikafta was received by Health Canada on December 4th, 2020 and was formally accepted for review on December 23rd. We are also aware that the Canadian Agency for Drugs Technologies in Health (CADTH) body that evaluates the cost effectiveness of drugs is now reviewing Trikafta for age 12 plus for patients who have at least one F508del mutation. This indicates that Trikafta was granted an ‘aligned review,’ the fastest review route. The aligned review will streamline the review processes by the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board (PMPRB) to set the maximum amount for which the drug can be sold, and by Health Technology Assessment bodies (CADTH and INESSS) to undertake cost-effective analyses, which can delay the overall timeline to access to another 6 months or more. An aligned review will reduce the timelines of all of these bodies to between 8-12 months or sooner. But that is just one half of the Canadian drug approval system.

Without doubt, from a social welfare perspective, the CCF helped build and develop an extensive social welfare system across Canada. It has been justly credited with being one of the major influences over Canadian social welfare policy during the critical years following the Great Depression. This was especially true of the period of the Second World War when the federal Liberal government of Mackenzie King adroitly borrowed CCF policy planks to remove the harsh edges of capitalism and put Canada on the path to a modern Welfare State.
