“CARRIED”
Asbestos Resolution
Moved
by Councillor Parnell, seconded by Councillor Riel
Whereas,
it is
estimated that more than 2,000 people die every year from diseases caused by
asbestos exposure, like mesothelioma and lung cancer. Death from mesothelioma
increased by 60 percent between 2000 and 2012.
Whereas,
Asbestos-related diseases are on the rise: In 1992, there were 276 recorded cases
of mesothelioma. Twenty years later the number of new cases of mesothelioma has
more than doubled, with 560 recorded in 2012.
Whereas,
Asbestos imports into Canada are increasing: Imports of asbestos-related items rose
to $8.2 million in 2015.
Whereas,
In addition to their health, Canadians' jobs are being put at risk: Canada is importing
replacement brake pads and linings containing asbestos, despite the fact that
Canada manufactures non-asbestos replacement alternatives.
Therefore
be it Resolved, That
the City of Peterborough will support the Canadian Labour Congress' call for a
comprehensive ban on asbestos.
Therefore
be it Further Resolved,
That Peterborough will send a letter to the Prime Minister of Canada, the
Federal Minister of Labour, and the Minister of Health petitioning them to pass
legislation officially banning the use, exportation, and import of asbestos and
calling for a national public registry of buildings that currently contain
asbestos.
“CARRIED”
Arbitration System
Moved
by Councillor McWilliams, seconded by Councillor Vassiliadis
That the following motion be sent to
Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal:
a)
That City
Council of the City of Peterborough urges the provincial government to reform
the interest arbitration system for emergency services that has contributed to
the cost of emergency services rising faster than other municipal services, the
cost of living and the rate of inflation; and,
b)
That City Council
requests that Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal provide information on how his
government is responding to requests from the Association of Municipalities of
Ontario, Eastern Ontario Mayors Committee and Wardens Caucus and individual
municipalities to reform the interest arbitration for emergency services beyond
the modest amendments being made through Bill 70, Building Ontario Up for
Everyone Act (Budget Measures), 2016, which will amend the Fire Protection
and Prevention Act, 1997 but does not directly deal with the arbitration
system’s tendency to fail to adequately consider the local taxpayer’s ability
to pay or the substantial difference between large urban municipalities and
smaller communities when comparing salaries for emergency services workers.
Moved by Councillor Parnell, seconded by
Councillor McWilliams
That the following by-law be read a
first, second and third time:
16-172 Being a By-law to confirm the proceedings of Council at its meeting
held on December 12, 2016.
and
the said by-law, having been now read a third time and passed, the Mayor and
Clerk be authorized to sign and seal the same.
