Members, we will now review and confirm the Order Paper. There are 87 Items left on the agenda, including 46 Member Motions.

Before the recess, Council was considering Item CC5.3 - Ombudsman Toronto Report: Investigation into the City's Processes for Clearing Encampments in 2021, which was timed as the first item following the Mayor's Key Matters.
