During questions of the mover on Councillor Crisanti’s motion 2, Councillor Fletcher, rising on a Point of Order, stated that when Council Members are answering questions and staff have been very clear about their position, she thinks it only fair that Councillors need to be clear on what advice staff have given. Councillor Fletcher stated that she checked with the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and his advice to Councillor Crisanti was they did not support this motion and they did not advise to take the money out of the Tax Stabilization Fund. Councillor Fletcher further stated that she thinks Council should know that and that Councillors should, when asked, tell Council what staff have told them.
When Council resumed following a disruption in the Chamber, Councillor Carroll, rising on a Point of Privilege, stated that today was a more egregious breach than Council has seen in the Chamber in a long time. Councillor Carroll stated that Council has a protocol that when the Speaker says to vacate the Chamber, Councillors vacate the Chamber. Councillor Carroll stated that the reason this protocol is meaningful—probably to her more than to others since she has seen the training the Speaker receives at the beginning of each term of office in the term that she acted as Deputy Speaker—is that for the security captain, the Speaker is her first point of reference and is waiting to hear what Council is going to do so security can act on it. Councillor Carroll further stated that when the Speaker asks Members of Council to vacate the Chamber that allows the Speaker to begin to address the situation in the way she and the security captain see fit. Councillor Carroll stated that today she saw a record number of Members of Council ignore the Speaker’s request to vacate the Chamber, that she takes it as a Point of Privilege that this happened, that she thinks it made all Members less safe and that she hopes it doesn’t happen again should Council end up vacating again today.
Councillor Crisanti, rising on a Point of Order, stated that he wished to understand why the Speaker ruled his motion out of order and if it was a wording issue.
Councillor Bradford, rising on a Point of Order, stated that when the Chamber was cleared it was very chaotic, and that he had risen, just as the person came flying past him and there was a lot going on just as the Speaker was delivering her ruling, and that he just wanted to ask a point of clarification. Councillor Bradford further stated that he understood there was a challenge of the Chair and that he is trying to ask a question of the Speaker.
Councillor Bradford, rising on a Point of Order, stated that what happened over the past hour was particularly chaotic, and the Speaker was making an important ruling and, since an hour or so had passed, he was looking for clarification on it. Councillor Bradford stated that this was all he was asking for with his point of clarification which, it was pointed out to him, doesn’t exist in Council’s procedural by-law, but just as a courtesy, would have been nice to have the Speaker clarify her ruling. He stated that the question he was rising to ask at the time was to know if the Speaker’s ruling was based on the fact that Councillor Crisanti can’t move that motion because no efficiencies could be found in it and only had to be cuts. Councillor Bradford stated that he wished to know if the Speaker’s view was that Council could only reduce the budget through cuts, or can Council find efficiencies?
During questions of the mover on Councillor Bradford’s motion 3, Councillor Bravo, rising on a Point of Privilege, stated that she has heard twice Councillors say about the same member, Councillor Fletcher, that she should sit down when her line of questioning made them uncomfortable and now when she is trying to seek a very specific answer to a question, that her search for answers is hysterical. Councillor Bravo stated that is not a way to characterize a woman Member of Council and that is not a way to speak about a colleague. Councillor Bravo further stated that she thinks the Member should withdraw his comment and that she invites all Members of Council to exercise decorum.
Councillor Fletcher, rising on a Point of Privilege, stated that she would like an apology as that was the second time that happened and that this is bordering on—and she doesn’t want to use the “s”-word—but it really is.
Councillor Bradford, rising on a Point of Privilege, stated that he is happy to apologize, and that he would also make the request that the Speaker ensure that decorum is kept in the Chamber. Councillor Bradford stated that he is not raising his voice, he is not pointing fingers, he is not yelling at people, and that he just asks the Speaker to enforce that as well.
Councillor Bradford apologized.
Councillor Fletcher, rising on a Point of Privilege, stated that when a Councillor is asking a question, the same question and not getting an answer, she finds that to be a problem. Councillor Fletcher stated that if a Councillor doesn’t know the answer, then the Councillor should simply say he doesn’t know the answer.
Councillor Bradford, rising on a Point of Privilege, stated that a lot of Members of Council try to ask questions at different times, and don’t get a direct answer to their questions, and that can be very frustrating. Councillor Bradford stated that he still doesn’t think it’s good to stand up and shout and point fingers at people, and that Council should have a higher level of behaviour in the Council Chamber befitting of holding elected office in Toronto.
Declared Interests (City Council)
