by Councillor R. Brockington
WHEREAS on April 22, 2021, the City’s Planning
Committee and Community and Protective Services Committee jointly considered
staff report ACS2021-EPS-PPD-0001, concerning the proposed Short-Term Rental By-law;
and
WHEREAS the proposed By-law addresses many of the
concerns expressed by residents over the last number of years, including the
requirement of the property owner to exclusively use their principal residence

Ottawa Bylaw to review the floor plan to cap the number of people at either 16
or 32 who may sleep in the rental unit and a commitment to review the pilot
program after three years; and
WHEREAS there is a risk that safety, health and
fire hazards, and nuisances associated with overcrowding of short-term rental
properties that the By-law is intended to address will continue to persist

MOTION NO 52/6
Moved

Seconded
by Councill C McKenney
That the Rules of Procedure be suspended to consider the
following motion, as the
provincial Government has communicated that they will now implement some form
of paid sick leave in Ontario, with the topic under immediate consideration.
WHEREAS during a January 11, 2021, press conference, Toronto’s
Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Eileen de Villa, talked about the importance of
paid sick leave provisions to “protect the health of individual workers,
workplaces, and the broader community”; and
WHEREAS on January 12, 2021, during a press briefing, both the
University of Toronto’s Dr. Adalsteinn Brown and Dr. Barbara Yaffe, Ontario’s
Associate Chief Medical Officer of Health, indicated that a pandemic response
that relies solely on restricting individual movements — and provides no
increased social supports — will not work; and
WHEREAS on January 15, 2021, Ontario’s Big City Mayors put out a news
release stating that, “too many workers across Ontario are having to choose
between going to work sick or losing income” and urging the provincial and
federal government “to implement a broader sick day program now that provides greater
benefits and can be accessed by employees as quickly as possible”; and
WHEREAS, although the federal government has introduced a form of
sick leave benefit, it has proven to be insufficient given that:
• It is limited in terms of the maximum
weekly amount payable to workers;
• It is based on full weeks of missed
work rather than days of missed work, leaving workers ineligible if they miss
less than a full week; and
• It requires workers to apply for the
benefit, resulting in a wait for payment and a risk of their application being
denied; and
WHEREAS, at its meeting of February 8, 2021, the Ottawa Board of
Health considered two reports from Ottawa’s Medical Officer of Health on the
subject of lessons learned to date from the COVID-19 pandemic titled “Lessons
Learned Working with Long-Term Care Homes During the COVID-19 Pandemic” and
“COVID-19 Pandemic Response – Looking Ahead and Building Back Better”; and
WHEREAS both reports underlined the importance of staying home when
sick in order to prevent the transmission of infectious illnesses like
COVID-19, particularly as pertains to workers’ ability to stay home when sick
without fear of lost wages; and
WHEREAS the report titled “COVID-19 Pandemic Response – Looking
Ahead and Building Back Better” makes both health and economic arguments in
support of paid sick leave for Ontario’s workforce, noting that:
• “The COVID-19 pandemic has underlined
that a healthy population and a healthy economy go hand in hand and that
differences in earning power and job security directly impact individual,
family and community health”;
• “Some of Ottawa’s essential workers
are precariously employed, limiting their ability to stay home when ill”; and
•
“Employees
attending work while sick can have a ripple effect at the workplace, including
transmitting infectious diseases, increasing their risk of injury and
decreasing productivity, which can ultimately lead to increased costs to
employers”; and
WHEREAS at its meeting of February 8, 2021 the Board of Health for the
City of Ottawa Health Unit called on the province to implement paid sick days
legislation, and directed its Chair to communicate as much in a subsequent
letter to the Premier of Ontario;
WHEREAS on April 20, 2021, the Ontario COVID-19
Science Advisory Table expressly stated that “what will work” to “reduce
transmission, protect our health care system, and allow us to re-open safely as
soon as possible” is to “pay essential workers to stay home when they are sick,
exposed or need time to get vaccinated”; and
WHEREAS on April 22, 2021, the four Mayors and
Regional Chair of Halton issued a statement that urged the Province of Ontario
to “launch and fund a paid sick leave program in the coming days” in order to
“avert a fourth wave and breach this cycle of lockdowns and restrictions”; and
WHEREAS, with the exception of a relatively small number of
federally-regulated industries, the majority of workplaces are provincially
regulated, making it foremost the jurisdiction of provinces to ensure seamless
access to paid sick leave for workers; and
WHEREAS both Council and the City of Ottawa are today, April 28th,
2021, remembering the lives of workers lost and injured in various workplace
tragedies on this National Day of Mourning;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Ottawa City Council join the
Ontario Big City Mayors, Mayors and Regional Chair of Halton, the Mayors of
Toronto and Brampton, as well as other municipal elected officials across
Ontario requesting that the Province:
1. Amend the Employment Standards Act,
2000, such that employers in Ontario are required to provide no less than
five (5) paid sick days annually to all workers, after three months of
employment; and
2. Amend the Employment Standards Act,
2000, such that employers in Ontario are required to provide no less than ten
(10) paid sick days annually in the event of a declared infectious disease
emergency such as the COVID-19 pandemic; and
3. Develop and implement the necessary
funding and/or financial supports to employers when their employees are
accessing the ten (10) paid sick days as described above in Resolution No. 2.
CARRIED with Councillor R. Chiarelli dissenting.
DIRECTION TO STAFF

Economic Development (PIED) share the Motion by Councillors Menard and McKenney
