WHEREAS on July 24, 2020, the Ontario Government enacted the Reopening Ontario (A Flexible Response to COVID-19) Act, thereby terminating the Province’s COVID-19 declared emergency but continuing as valid and effective those orders made under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act that had not otherwise been revoked before June 24, 2020, and also reserving a measure of authority necessary to amend and/or continue those orders; and

WHEREAS on August 19, 2020, the Decent Work and Health Care Network issued its report, “BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE: How to Close the Paid Sick Days Gap During COVID-19 and Beyond”; and

WHEREAS the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and is causing significant effects across the world and locally in Ottawa;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council direct Mayor Watson to write a letter to Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Minister McNaughton requesting that the provincial government immediately establish job-protected sick leave, through regulation or legislation, that allows workers seamless access of up to 10 days leave related to COVID-19; and

WHEREAS the Ontario Police Services Act currently does not provide for any authority in a Chief of Police or any oversight body to suspend a police officer, without pay, when that officer is charged with or convicted of a serious offence under the laws of Canada; and

WHEREAS public reports of police officers continuing to receive their full pay, even while facing charges of serious and even criminal misconduct, can diminish public respect for, and confidence in, the integrity of police services across the Province; and

WHEREAS the Ontario Government in 2018 introduced the Safer Ontario Act to modernize policing in the Province, including provisions for the suspension without pay of police officers who are charged with serious offences, in certain defined cases, in order to address these concerns; and

WHEREAS the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) has passed resolutions calling on the Government of Ontario to make the necessary changes to the Police Service Act to allow for the suspension without pay of police officers in situations where: they are charged with serious Criminal Code of Canada and other federal offences not related to their performance of duty; when held in custody or when subject to a Judicial Interim Release order with such conditions that prevent the officer from carrying out the duties of a police officer; or, who are charged with serious Police Services Act violations where the Chief of Police will seek dismissal of the officer; and

WHEREAS the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards has passed a resolution joining with the OACP in calling on the Government of Ontario to make the necessary changes to the Police Service Act to allow for the suspension without pay of police officers in situations where: they are charged with serious Criminal Code of Canada and other federal offences not related to their performance of duty; when held in custody or when subject to a Judicial Interim Release order with such conditions that prevent the officer from carrying out the duties of a police officer; or, who are charged with serious Police Services Act violations where the Chief of Police will seek dismissal of the officer;

WHEREAS the Safer Ontario Act was not passed before the Provincial election in 2018;

WHEREAS identical provisions were later incorporated into the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019, which was enacted by the Provincial Government in March, 2019 but which has never been proclaimed in force;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Ottawa City Council hereby calls on the Provincial Government to declare in force those sections of the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019 as soon as possible, that are necessary to provide Chiefs of Police or Police Services Boards, as applicable, with the discretion to suspend a member of the police service, without pay, who is charged with or convicted of a serious offence, in those circumstances set out in the statute; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT Ottawa City Council hereby calls on the Provincial Government to further amend the legislative scheme governing police services so as to streamline the process for the termination of a police officer who is found guilty of serious or criminal misconduct.
