7. MOTIONS
There were no
motions.
8. NOTICES OF MOTIONS
(1) REQUEST
THE GOVERNMENT OF ONTARIO TO IMPLEMENT
A FOREIGN BUYER'S TAX ACROSS
THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO
SIMILAR TO THE CITY OF VANCOUVER (13.2)
Moved by Councillor
Karen Rea
Seconded by Councillor
Alan Ho
Whereas housing prices have
seen a significant increase in the past couple of years;
Whereas residents (especially young
residents) are experiencing difficulty entering the housing
market due to a lack of affordable homes;
Whereas there has been an increase in foreign buyers purchasing properties and upon closing, many of these homes are
unoccupied;
Whereas some
buyers are not living or working in Markham and/or paying Provincial or Federal
income tax;
Whereas Canada
Mortgage and Housing is maintaining its “red warning” for the country’s real
estate market with prices in around Vancouver and Toronto among its top
concerns;
Whereas the City
of Toronto has passed a motion for their City Manager and the Province to examine the possibility
of the City of Toronto levying an additional land transfer tax on purchase
and/or sale of homes to non-Canadian residents (i.e. foreign nationals who are
not Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada);
Whereas the City
of Vancouver has approved a 15% property charge on foreign buyers since August
2016;
Whereas the
implementation of a foreign buyer’s tax across the Province would help to cool
an overinflated market and ensure that one problem is not just redirected to
another area;
Now therefore be
it hereby resolved:
1) That the City of
Markham Council request the Government of Ontario to implement a foreign buyers
tax across the Province of Ontario similar to the City of Vancouver; and,
2) That a copy of this
motion be sent to the Honourable Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario, the
Honourable Bill Mauro, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing; the
Honourable Patrick Brown, Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party; the
Honourable Andrea Horwath, Leader of the New Democratic Party; and all MPP’s in
the Province of Ontario; and,
3) That a copy of this
Motion be sent to all Ontario Municipalities for their consideration; and
further,
4) That a copy be sent
to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and Federation of
Canadian Municipalities (FCM).
(2) FOOD
WASTE REDUCTION (5.0)
Moved by
Councillor Alan Ho
Seconded by
Councillor Valerie Burke
Whereas
it is estimated that one in eight Canadians struggle to put food on the table,
and more than 850,000 Canadians turn to food banks every month - One-third of
them children (Food Banks Canada - Hunger Count Report, 2015); and,
Whereas
about 170,000 tonnes of edible food - equivalent to about 300 million meals -
end up in Canadian landfills every year (National Zero Waste Council, Fall
2015); and,
Whereas
the reported cost of Canada's annual food waste is approximately $31 billion
(VMC International, 2014); and,
Whereas
the City of Markham has already committed to addressing food security for its
residents with the Greenprint, Markham’s Community Sustainability Plan’s Food
Security Priority and subsequently by adopting the Markham Food Charter. Both of which focus on increasing community
and local food production opportunities and supporting education and engagement
including food waste issues through the Markham Homegrown Program – Workshops,
Community and Allotment Gardens, and increasing the viability of local
commercial food growing and processing; and,
Now
therefore be it hereby resolved:
1) That
Council recognize local organizations that have already made a demonstrable
effort to reduce food waste and promote local food security in the City of
Markham; and,
2) That
Council work with the Sustainability and Asset Management Department and
Environmental Services under their Waste Management group and other partners
such as York Region and local non profit organizations to promote
programming/education outreach to achieve two key outcomes:
1) increase food waste awareness through a
comprehensive public education program aimed at Members of Markham Council and
City Staff, members of the public, and local businesses; and,
2) an expansion of the City of Markham's
food waste diversion initiatives; and,
3) That
Council support the National Zero Waste Council's proposed federal tax
incentive for nutritious food donations and urge the Government of Canada to
implement tax incentives for local businesses to donate nutritious food to
charitable organizations, thereby reducing unnecessary food waste, decreasing
disposal costs, reducing the environmental impact of food waste, and addressing
the issue of hunger and poverty in our communities; and further,
4) That
a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Federation of Canadian
Municipalities (FCM), requesting that FCM urge the Government of Canada to
implement tax incentives for food producers, suppliers, and retailers to donate
unsold edible food.
