I would like to take a moment on behalf of Council to acknowledge the Indigenous Peoples of all the lands that we are on today. We do this to reaffirm our commitment and responsibility in improving relationships between nations and to deepening our own understanding of Indigenous peoples and their cultures. It is a moment to reflect on the importance of this land, which we each call home.

 

We acknowledge the land we are meeting on is the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands.

6. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to provide notification to the local Member of Provincial Parliament and local Councillor when a road death or injury occurs and the vehicle was speeding, including a summary of these tragedies over the past 5 years.

 

7.

10. City Council request the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer to request the Toronto Police Service to provide information on what the additional cost would be to Toronto taxpayers to maintain the current level of safety by deploying sufficient police officers to replace Toronto’s speed cameras with an equivalent level of speed enforcement, without degrading other police services, and report this information to the November 12, 13 and 14, 2025, meeting of City Council.

Accordingly, I am ruling that motion 9b meets the requirements of the procedures.

Point of Privilege by Councillor Alejandra Bravo

Following her questions of Councillor Bradford to clarify his motions, Councillor Bravo, rising on a Point of Privilege, stated that her questions were not misaligned with the other Councillors who asked similar questions and if they are perceived as attacks, she thinks that has more to do with the person receiving it. Councillor Bravo further stated that she doesn’t think it’s very collegial to say that she has been very bad at a particular approach, as it is not only her right to speak in Council, but also her duty.

Ruling by Speaker Frances Nunziata
Speaker Nunziata accepted the Point of Privilege and thanked Councillor Bravo.


Point of Privilege by Councillor Gord Perks

Councillor Perks, rising on a Point of Privilege stated that he is very concerned about the double standard in the Chamber, where some Members are called to order during their questions by the Chair, and other Members are not. Councillor Perks further stated that he doesn’t see why Councillor Bravo asking for statistical information that informed Councillor Bradford’s motion is different than Councillor Holyday asking for the same statistical information.

Ruling by Speaker Frances Nunziata
Speaker Nunziata accepted the Point of Privilege and stated that she had just cut Councillor Holyday off and she was cutting everybody off.
