2:05:03up for a seconding downer downer will second okay any questions on this one no yeah oh i actually

2:05:13saw your hand this time councillor Caton do you have a question on this one yeah i was just wondering

2:05:20for staff like if there's any changes we wanted to make in future when you come back with the

2:05:25annual reporting is that the time that for discussions just same as we would do for pulling

2:05:31with an information report uh through the mayor to councillor Caton that is correct we would

2:05:39after a year look at the effectiveness of the bylaw make any recommendations we'd also

2:05:43compare it to any other changes that were occurring in other municipalities and bring that forward

2:05:48council consideration thank you very much and also i just wanted to thank staff for all your

2:05:53work on this i know we gave you like the smallest amount of time to come back with basically three

2:05:59new departments so uh this all of the work that you've done has been amazing and i really appreciate

2:06:05the really really fast turnaround you've brought it back with thanks yeah ditto uh councillor Caton

2:06:12thank you councillor Goller question thank you three worship to staff um thank you so much for for this

2:06:21work and for this report i'm going to the alternative um two motions that you included

2:06:26in there and and based on the what we heard from the constituents do you have any concerns that

2:06:33the bylaw will be ineffective unless those additional measures are added in now through the mayor to

2:06:44councillor Goller as indicated in our report we do believe the modest approach is the way to go

2:06:49obviously we would review the effectiveness as councillor Caton indicated and we would come back

2:06:54to council should we see any issues we'd also look at our other municipalities or and see how

2:07:00they're doing uh we we do believe that the uh the modest approach allows us to move in a more

2:07:07timely manner and to address some of the issues okay thank you worship thank you right thank you

2:07:16only question for me before i sorry did someone to say something oh sorry okay

2:07:21only question for me before i call the vote is i've heard you say a couple times

2:07:25that you know throughout the year you will look at best practices or any changes or things that

2:07:29are happening with other municipalities so that it can be considered by council um i just want to

2:07:33make sure if there's also any changes at the province that addresses these gaps um that that

2:07:40will also be brought back because we do not want to be doing any duplication here at all

2:07:48to the mayor uh you are correct and we've uh highlighted that in motion number four yeah

2:07:53just wanted to get out in the open so thank you all right i'll call the vote then on this one

2:07:58is anybody against it's unanimous thank you very much and on the last one which is the
