10:30Yes, I do. Okay, let me just ask if I can have 302 and 306 Enboro Road moved then for me.

10:39All right, Alt and Koran. And I'll call the vote on that. Is there anyone against that removal?

10:49Seeing none, so that passes. May I just ask Councillor Caton, is this something I need to

10:58put at the very end of the agenda because I have some delegations or is it something quick?

11:04No, it's fast. Okay, go for it. Thanks. Through you to staff, I believe Ms. Clackbush,

11:12I was just wondering in the accessibility review that will come with this, will there be any

12:14funding for that pool? Boosatil and O'Rourke? Okay, great. Well, let's cross our fingers on this one.

12:21Hopefully, I'm going to call the vote, but no one's against that, right? Good. Okay, that was an easy

12:27one. So if the province is listening to us, please give us that money. Please, I said please. Yes,

12:36thank you. That's good. Okay, we're going into the next section. That's it for our consent.

12:42So we're now going to go into the next section, which is for our public meetings. And the first
