💬 Public Rhetoric
"Normal is not in the contract. When you spoke to 3111, I'm assuming. And this. Is what I've tried to communicate, that the three one operator was saying that this does happen, so. They perhaps used a poor word to explain this, that this happened. So I'm assuming that the three one one operator was saying that this is normal and it does happen, but I don't think that. They were saying that this is in the contract and it's fine. The other thing I will say. And we've had this discussion too. There are processes in place when this does happen that you are put on a list of repair that's in the contract."
"Obviously, the relationship the city has with UTM and the university. Of Toronto in general is extremely important through our economic development team and other issues that we do deal with. So this MoU is extremely important and as you've expressed, been extremely successful."
"I'm curious. On a legal standpoint, I mean, if. You're a property owner. You know that? There could be liability or some type of injury that does happen as a result of something that's happened on your property. So I'm just curious, Graham, if you want to comment. Now, but even just. When it comes back, because I know I did have that discussion as well previously, that if there's property damage. That's coming from somebody else's. You've been given warning all of these types of things. I just wonder, from a legal standpoint, if they would be liable for negligence."
"So when I did south common community center, we talked about. 50 for pool. And one of the concerns that I had was taking the hours that you would need to use to have competitive swimmers would take away time from the community. So, I mean, I had concerns with that. So the seniors, the youth groups that would come in, you would kind of block off time, so my community. Would potentially not have the hours. So how does that work from your perspective, as far as ensuring that the community is number one with the pool that would be potentially through. This tax dollars being used. So, I mean, my priority is the residence and the taxpayer. So how does that work? If you could just elaborate for me."
"If we could say that the province could fund this and not the taxpayers of Mississauga. I'd be the first one to sign on."
