(5) BILL
C-417 – THE CANADIAN SOLDIER’S AND PEACEKEEPERS’
MEMORIAL WALL ACT
(13.1)
Letter
Whereas Canada has yet to
properly honour, in a suitable location that is always accessible to the
public, the NAMES of ALL of OUR FALLEN in wars and peacekeeping;
And whereas over 115,000 Fallen have their graves in seventy-three
countries and hundreds of cemeteries;
And whereas their remains, by law, cannot be repatriated to Canada;
And whereas we must create a suitable national shrine to our fallen;
And whereas proper recognition will show our gratitude and respect for
their sacrifice;
Therefore be it resolved
that Council request that the Government of Canada enact Private Members Bill
C-417, the Canadian Soldiers’ and Peacekeepers’ Memorial Wall Act.
And that the letter dated
April 3, 2007 from Mr. I. Mark, M.P., Dauphin-Swan River-Marquette, to the

(6) AIRPORT TAXI/LIMOUSINE ISSUE (2.23)
Whereas
Council of the City of Toronto at its meeting on April 24, 2007 passed By-law 435-2007 to remove the airport taxicab
and limousine exemption from the City of Toronto Municipal Code; and
Whereas the
removal of the airport exemption from the City of Toronto Municipal Code
will prohibit all taxicabs or limousines holding a GTAA (Greater Toronto
Airport Authority) permit from picking up passengers within the City of
Toronto; and
Whereas Town
of Markham licenses and regulates 52 GTAA vehicles; and
Whereas Town
of Markham staff advise the removal of the airport exemption will have a
potentially adverse financial impact on both the GTAA licensed vehicles as well
as the industry serviced by municipally licensed vehicles in the Town of
Markham and in neighbouring municipalities; and
Whereas the
removal of the airport exemption will have an adverse environmental impact by
increasing the likelihood of taxicabs and/or limousines making one-way trips
without a customer in the vehicle; and
Whereas Council
of the City of Toronto also recommended that the Licensing and Standards
Committee undertake consultations with other stakeholders including other
governments in the
GTA to
determine whether reciprocal licensing arrangements are possible to enhance the
quality of service to residents, businesses and to report on any proposals they
deem worthy of further discussion; and
Whereas the
Town of Markham has not been consulted on the potential impact of By-law
435-2007; and
Whereas the
Town of Markham has reason to believe other municipalities also impacted by
By-law 435-2007 have not yet been consulted;
Therefore, be
it resolved that:
- The
Town of Markham Council advise the Mayor of Toronto that it does not
support By-law 435-2007 passed by the Council of the City of Toronto on
April 24, 2007 for the aforementioned reasons and request that the GTAA
take steps to immediately deal with this issue; and,
- That
Town of Markham request Council of the City of Toronto repeal By-law
435-2007 and take no further action to amend provisions which would affect
the conveyance of passengers to and from Lester B. Pearson International
Airport until such time as consultation occurs with the GTAA,
municipalities adjacent to the City of Toronto and other interested
stakeholders on this issue due to the fact that the removal of the
exemption from the City of Toronto Municipal Code will have
immediate repercussions in other jurisdictions and is not in the best
interests of the Province, the travelling public, air quality and the
environment; and,
- That
a copy of this resolution be sent to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister
of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the GTAA, Markham Members of Provincial
Parliament, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), and
relevant taxi industry stakeholders in Markham; and,
- And
that a copy of this resolution also be sent to the seven other area
municipalities with GTAA taxicab licences, namely the City of Mississauga,
City of Brampton, City of Vaughan, Town of Richmond Hill, City of Kawartha
Lakes, Town of Pickering and Town of Dundas, along with a request for the
Councils of these municipalities to expeditiously adopt a similar
resolution.
