9.1 Notice of Motion – Federation of Canadian Municipalities Plan to Fix the Housing Crunch – Director Alto

WHEREAS, stable and secure housing systems create and maintain jobs and allow for a range of living options essential to attract new workers, meet the needs of young families and support seniors and our most vulnerable citizens; and

WHEREAS the high cost of housing is the most urgent financial issue facing individual Canadians (with one in four people paying more than they can afford for housing), and mortgage debt held by Canadians now standing at just over $1.1 trillion; and

WHEREAS, the Bank of Canada notes housing costs and household debt are undermining Canadians’ personal financial security, while putting our national economy at risk; and

WHEREAS those who cannot afford to purchase a home rely on the short supply of rental units, driving up rental costs and making it hard to house workers in regions experiencing strong economic activity; and

WHEREAS an inadequate supply of subsidized housing for those in need is pushing some of the most vulnerable Canadians on to the street, while $1.7 billion annually in federal investments in social housing have begun to expire; and

WHEREAS coordinated action is required to prevent housing issues from being offloaded onto local governments and align the steps local governments have already taken with regard to federal/provincial/territorial programs and policies; and

WHEREAS, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) has launched a housing campaign, “Fixing Canada’s Housing Crunch” calling on the federal government to increase housing options for Canadians and to work with all orders of government to develop a long-term plan for Canada’s housing future; and

WHEREAS FCM has asked its member municipalities for a resolution of support; and

WHEREAS, our community has continuing housing needs, throughout the full spectrum of housing options, which can only be met through the kind of long-term planning and investment made possible by federal leadership;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Capital Regional District endorses the FCM housing campaign and urges the federal Minister of Employment and Social Development to develop a long-term plan for housing that puts core investments on solid ground, increases predictability, protects Canadians from the planned expiry of $1.7 billion in social housing agreements and ensures a healthy stock of affordable rental housing for Canadians.

AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the federal Minister, the appropriate provincial Ministers, federal Members of Parliament and provincial Members of the Legislature within the CRD, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, and the Union of BC Municipalities.

9.2 Notice of Motion – A Ballot Question on Amalgamation – Director Alto

Whereas the following Motion was adopted by Victoria City Council on November 14, 2013:

Be It Further Resolved That the City of Victoria request that the CRD consider asking each of its member municipalities to place a similar question on each of their municipal ballots in November 2014.

Be It Therefore Resolved that the CRD ask each of its member municipalities to place a non-binding question on each municipal ballot in November 2014 similar to the one that will be posed by the City of Victoria on its own 2014 municipal ballot, e.g. “Are you in favour of reducing the number of municipalities in Greater Victoria through amalgamation?”
