Hello Mayor and Council, Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: From: Robert Young <[email protected]> Date: January 11, 2021 at 1:55:09 PM EST To: [email protected], Yvonne Aubichon <[email protected]>, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], Ian Veitch <[email protected]>, [email protected], [email protected], Shawn Scott <[email protected]>, [email protected] Subject: Public Code of Conduct Ms Aubichon, Please include this e-mail for the public record to be read during the Council meeting in relation to item 13(b). I thank you in advance for your co-operation and assistance in this matter, much appreciated. Hello CAO Dunn, Mayor Hughes, members of Council, Ms Aubichon I listened with interest when Councillor Keane introduced the proposed and passed Public Code of Conduct with reference to the Canadian Human Rights Act. It was apparent that no legal opinion had been obtained on such a contentious piece of legislation, given the “expected” criticism and resistance from members of this community. FYI - The Law The Ontario Human Rights Code defines discrimination as the unequal treatment of a person because of their race, sex, ethic origin, religion, etc., including handicap. Mental illness is defined as a handicap under the Code. Mayor Hughes, you stated during the Council meeting that you believed that the increase in “disrespectful” e- mails and letters to members of Council and staff is as a result of Covid, and what you perceived to be the “pressure” adversely affecting the “mental health” of those members of this community who are writing disrespectful e-mails and letters to members of Council and OM staff.
