Erin Hemmens Yes

Likewise. Councilor Hemmens. Thank you. Yours. I'm not going to ask the proponent to come up again. But I do want to note, we did have correspondence from the immediate neighbor suggesting that things had not been great. So it was actually really reassuring to hear from Ms. Bo Paul saying that no formal complaints have been made, and I do. Want to suggest to neighbors that if there are issues, that bylaws is the appropriate call. Or RCMP is the appropriate call, and we can track those. And if we need to rescind. Or re examine the housing agreement, that is the opportunity to do it. Thank One of the things that I really appreciated the opponent, speaking of tonight, is that white court is staging grounds. So people who have just left treatment and are in recovery, but that to get into the Kennedy street house, which is closer to the school and closer to the park. They have to have had four months at white court, so that's four months. In recovery sober. So I appreciate that staging. And again, I support. Thank you.

Janice Perrino No

Prin. Thank you, worship. Just wish to say. I wish we were doing one at a time. I can't support this for doubling the numbers from five to ten. I do support the concept. I agree with it. I think it's a great way to start. I'm just not in favor of doubling it, and certainly not. Both at the same time, so thank you. Thank you.
