Before we start the meeting, however, I would like to take a few moments to remind those who are attending in person about the rules of decorum for all counseling committee meetings. The meeting of council is intended to be a place where democracy can freely take place in a respectful and safe manner. The council chambers is a workplace, and there are considerations council and staff must make to ensure that a safe work environment exists in accordance with WorkSafe PC regulations. To support this, and in accordance with council's procedure bylaw, disrespectful conduct will not be tolerated, so we ask that there be no cheering or jeering or other disruptions from the gallery. Furthermore, the use of electronic devices for recording or photographing is prohibited unless otherwise authorized to the media accreditation or by the chair. This will ensure that anyone speaking, whether it be a delegation, member of council, or staff, is not interrupted and can make their point freely without distraction, fear of ridicule, or intimidation. That said, there may be moments during certain presentations or recognitions where clapping or expressions of appreciation are welcome. There are none on the agenda tonight. In instances where a speaker is being inappropriate or has exceeded their time limit, their microphone will be cut off. Similarly, if there are disruptions by any person in the gallery, they will be asked to s …
