Moved by Councillor C. McKenney
Seconded by Councillor D. Deans

 

WHEREAS on August 8, 2021, an equipment/component failure caused an empty Light Rail Transit (LRT) train to derail while switching tracks after leaving Tunney’s Pasture Station, leading to an inspection of the fleet that showed similar problems with nine other vehicles; and

WHEREAS on September 19, 2021, a train derailed between Tremblay Station and Hurdman Station after two axles became dislodged; and

WHEREAS these are only two of the most recent problems that have occurred on the City’s multi-billion-dollar LRT Project since it was unanimously approved by Council in December of 2012; and           

WHEREAS Section 274 of the Municipal Act, 2001 expressly provides a municipal council with the statutory authority to request by resolution, that a Judge of the Superior Court of Justice shall:

a)    Investigate any supposed breach of trust or other misconduct of a member of council, an employee of the municipality or a person having a contract with the municipality in relation to the duties or obligations of that person to the municipality;

b)   Inquire into any matter connected with the good government of the municipality; and/or

c)    Inquire into the conduct of any part of the public business of the municipality; and

WHEREAS Section 274 of the Municipal Act, 2001, “remains substantially unchanged from its predecessor section in 1866”; and

WHEREAS Mr. Justice Ian Binnie of the Supreme Court of Canada noted in a case involving the City of Sarnia in 1998 that, “much of the history of Canada could be interpreted through the work of commissions of inquiry” and that the “power to authorize a judicial inquiry is an important safeguard of the public interest” (emphasis added); and

WHEREAS Justice Binnie also observed that Section 274 of the Municipal Act, 2001, “reflects a recognition through the decades that good government depends in part on the availability of good information” and that a “municipality, like senior levels of government, needs from time to time to get to the bottom of matters and events within its bailiwick”; and

WHEREAS in the Toronto Computer Leasing Inquiry and the Toronto External Contracts Inquiry Madam Justice Denise Bellamy noted that “a public inquiry is a public investigation, carried out in the public eye” she also emphasized that “although the findings of a commissioner may affect public opinion, they cannot have either penal or civil consequences” (emphasis added); and

WHEREAS Subsection 274(3) of the Municipal Act, 2001 mandates that a Judge “shall report the results of the investigation or inquiry to the council as soon as practicable”; and

WHEREAS on October 13, 2021, City Council approved Motion No. 61/15, which asked the City’s Auditor General to include an audit of City staff’s recommended approach that led to the procurement and implementation of the Stage 1 Light Rail Transit (LRT) system, culminating in the DESIGN, BUILD, FINANCE AND MAINTENANCE OF OTTAWA’S LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT (OLRT) PROJECT (ACS2012-ICS-RIO-0004) report, considered and approved by City Council on December 12, 2012, which resulted in the current system, in the Auditor General’s Workplan, to begin as soon as practicable, as further described in the motion; and

WHEREAS Subsection 223.19(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001 provides that the Auditor General “reports to council and is responsible for assisting the council in holding itself and its administrators accountable for the quality of stewardship over public funds and for achievement of value for money in municipal operations”; and

WHEREAS Section 223.22 of the Municipal Act, 2001 prescribes a duty of confidentiality with respect to the Auditor General’s duties, which includes that “The Auditor General and every person acting under the instructions of the Auditor General shall preserve secrecy with respect to all matters that come to his or her knowledge in the course of his or her duties under this Part,” meaning that much of the Auditor General’s work, apart from reports made by the Auditor General, takes place in private; and

WHEREAS the residents of Ottawa both require and deserve to know by way of an independent, open, and transparent public process the complete truth of how and why the LRT transit system became the City’s largest, flawed capital project;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT City Council approve the following:

1.            That a judicial inquiry be formally requested to be conducted pursuant to Section 274 of the Municipal Act, 2001, which authorizes a Judge of the Superior Court of Justice to investigate or inquire into any matter regarding a supposed breach of trust or misconduct by a Member of Council or a former Member of Council, a City employee or a former City employee or any person having a contract with the City of Ottawa, or to any matter connected to the good government or the conduct of any part of the City’s public business; and

a)          To obtain, bearing in mind the cost and principles of proportionality, all records and documents necessary to investigate and understand the following:

                                       i.       The facts and sequence of events from 2012 to the present regarding the approvals, development, costs, timelines and operation of the City’s LRT system;

                                      ii.       The nature, extent and application of the delegation of authority provided to City staff in all of these matters;

b)          To conduct public hearings into the matters designated in accordance with the principles of fairness, thoroughness, efficiency and accessibility.; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Terms of Reference of the judicial inquiry shall include: to inquire into all aspects of the LRT transit system as it relates to the good government of the municipality or the conduct of its public business, including any impacts, financial or otherwise, on the residents and taxpayers of the City, and to make any recommendations that the Commissioner considers appropriate and in the public interest as a result of the inquiry.
