NOTICE OF MOTION

16.1

A Motion Opposing Construction of the 413 Highway (Councillor C. Parrish)

Councillor Parrish spoke to the Motion and emphasized the need to reduce or eliminate tolls and dedicate a lane on the 407 highway to truck traffic to provide relief to the 401 highway.

In response to Councillor Saito's inquiry with respect to the Province enforcing penalties, as outlined in the Motion, Councillor Parrish noted that the statement refers to Section B in the Motion.  The Motion was amended to make reference to Section B.

• RESOLUTION 0064-2022
  Moved By Councillor C. Parrish
  Seconded By Councillor P. Saito

  Whereas Mississauga Council continues to strongly oppose construction of the 413 Hwy;

  Whereas Mississauga Council recognizes some relief of traffic congestion on the 401 Hwy, especially for thousands of truckers, is required;

  Whereas some public support for the 413 Hwy is based on a real concern over continued congestion on the 401 Hwy and a lack of viable alternatives to the environmentally destructive 413 Hwy;

  Whereas the proposed 413 Hwy will not provide the needed congestion relief for many years - through design, approvals and construction phases - while other solutions need to happen now;

  Whereas the 407 ETR was created to provide a truck by-pass across the GTA and in doing so, relieve congestion on the 401 Hwy;

  Whereas current high tolls act as a disincentive to the transfer of traffic to the underused 407 ETR  from the 401 Hwy as well as from surrounding local and regional roads;

  Whereas alternatives to the construction of the 413 Hwy were recommended by the Expert Panel appointed by the previous government, the work of that panel contributing to the cancellation of the proposed highway;

  Whereas one suggestion by the Expert Panel included the reduction or elimination of tolls for truck traffic on designated lanes of the 407 ETR;

  Whereas the current provincial government has been demonstrating there is Budget room for creative solutions to traffic congestion:

  1. Licence renewal stickers and fees for 7.5 million vehicles have been eliminated as of March 13, 2022 at a loss of $1.1 billion a year. Refunds from March 2020 are also coming, with some conditions, at another $1.1 billion.  Future renewals will be free with no stickers to show renewals have been completed or alert police to check for unpaid traffic fines, more billions lost.
  2. A $1 billion penalty to the 407 ETR operators was forgiven by the province for failure to reduce tolls during COVID, to meet 401 Hwy traffic reduction targets by attracting drivers. It is expected the same penalty will be forgiven for 2021.
  3. Tolls are being eliminated as of April1/22 “to help Ontarians financially after hardships of the pandemic” on Durham highways 412 (Whitby) and 418 (Clarington) at $20 million a year.

  THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:

  1. That the Council of the City of Mississauga continue its strong opposition to the environmentally destructive 413 Hwy; and
  2. That the Council of the City of Mississauga strongly supports initiatives that promote increased diversion of traffic from the 401 Hwy to the under-utilized 407 ETR; and
  3. That the Council of the City of Mississauga request the Province of Ontario work with 407 International Inc. to devise strategies to increase 407 ETR usage and enforce penalties (as referred to in Section B above) provided to encourage efforts at congestion relief on the 401 Hwy and all surrounding roads; and
  4. That the Council of the City of Mississauga request the Province of Ontario provide immediate congestion relief on the 401 Hwy by investing sufficient yearly subsidies to support zero, or greatly reduced tolls, for exclusive truck lanes on the 407 ETR, one east and one west; and
  5. That the capital cost for the proposed 413 Hwy be re-designated to the expansion of long term, environmentally sustainable rapid transit throughout the GTA; and
  6. That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to every Council in the GTA as well as every MPP in Ontario.

A Motion in Support of Local Journalism (Councillor J. Kovac)

Acting Mayor Councillor Kovac passed the Chair Role to Councillor Parrish in order to move the Motion.

Councillor Kovac, spoke to the Motion, emphasizing that it is essential to recognize that a healthy, professional news media is essential to the proper functioning of democracy in our city.

Members of Council spoke in support of the Motion.

• RESOLUTION 0065-2022
  Moved By Councillor J. Kovac
  Seconded By Councillor G. Carlson

  Whereas a healthy, professional news media is essential for the proper functioning of civil society and democracy at the local, regional, federal and international levels;

  Whereas the Public Policy Forum declares — on its website for the 2017 report The Shattered Mirror: News, Democracy and Trust in the Digital Age (commissioned by the federal government) — that “real news is in crisis” in this country;

  Whereas the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) cited eight “critical information needs” the media help to provide including emergencies; other public risks to health; education; the environment; economic opportunities; civic and political knowledge of policy initiatives; and the conduct of public officials, and candidates for office (The Shattered Mirror p.4);

  Whereas Canadians have lost the essential services provided by roughly 3,000 media workers across Canada due to temporary and permanent layoffs from the time the COVID-19 pandemic began — a time it became clearer to the public how important it is for Canadians to receive accurate information — and advertising revenues have plunged, prompting an emergency $30-million advertising-buy by the federal government;

  Whereas residents of 190 Canadian communities lost 250 established news outlets due to closings or mergers between 2008 and 2018;

  Whereas two thirds of Canadians agree or somewhat agree that because of the Coronavirus/COVID-19 outbreak the federal government should treat widespread media bankruptcies and layoffs as an emergency, according to a Nanos Research poll of April 2020;

  Whereas the federal government allocated nearly $600 million in aid for Canadian media over five years in its 2019 budget, including a 25-per-cent tax credit for newsroom salaries; a 15-per-cent tax credit for digital media subscribers; and charitable tax status for non-profit news outlets;

  Whereas Canada’s federal government acknowledged in its 2019 budget (p. 173) that “A strong and independent news media is crucial to a well-functioning democracy”;

  Whereas at least 28 municipal councils in nine provinces have already passed resolutions similar to the one proposed below;

  Whereas the news media in the Mississauga area have been instrumental during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring local citizens have accurate local information;

  Therefore Be It Resolved that the City of Mississauga Council recognizes that a healthy, professional news media is essential to the proper functioning of democracy in our city; urges nearby municipal councils and across Canada to recognize that a robust news media is essential to the proper functioning of democracy in their jurisdictions; endorses legislation and regulations to support and rejuvenate news outlets across Canada; and urges the federal government to move quickly to pass legislation to ensure an ecosystem for a healthy news media to serve all Canadians.

  And that the resolution be forwarded to the area municipalities, local MPs and MPPs and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and Association of Municipalities of Ontario.

Geoff Wright, Commissioner, Transportation and Works and Robert Trewartha, Director, Strategic Communications and Initiatives explained the interim street naming process, timelines for a permanent process and challenges for the working group.

  AND WHEREAS one of the previously submitted street names — “Viola Desmond” — refers to a specifically identifiable individual and has been thoroughly vetted and approved by the working group;

  AND WHEREAS the working group had time to do only a cursory review of the other eight names and therefore did not approve any of them;

  AND WHEREAS the eight street names not approved by the working group are of a generic nature and none are of specifically identifiable individuals and, if there was more time for vetting, could be approved;

  AND WHEREAS the development project where these nine names have already been applied to the plan of subdivision is in the final stages of completion and requires addresses - with house number and street name - for site servicing permits and other planning matters;

  AND WHEREAS the proposed eight street names will apply to private roads only.
