Ottawa U

By Ottawa In French NewsNo Comments

OTTAWA – Half empty federal buildings cost 11.5 million $ per year to taxpayers, according to documents obtained by the QMI agency under the access to information act.

There are nearly one million square feet of empty federal offices in Ottawa. According to documents, there are 18 buildings of public works and Government Services which have a vacancy rate of over 50% in the Ottawa-Gatineau area, and several of them are vacant for years and even decades, which costs the taxpayers of millions $ for heating, water and lighting, security or property taxes.

Because of the layoff of 4 800 Federal employees by 2015, vacant space will double. In addition, four new federal buildings currently under construction in Gatineau will welcome federal officials in 2013.

“I think that any reasonable person might ask why the Government throws out the window of the million $ for the maintenance of vacant buildings”, said Director for Ontario of the Canadian Federation of taxpayers, Gregory Thomas. “I think that public works should an explanation of the contribuables.».”

Market analyst Barry Nabatian, who works for Shore-Tanner and Associates, there is a real problem of management.

“They did administer this really not correctly.” “No real estate company, no private sector management company would this happen.”

“Vacant spaces for a few months, this is sometimes inevitable, but year after year, it is unbelievable,” said Mr. Nabatian.

According to him, the only viable solution is a public-private partnership to lease vacant government spaces.

He argues that the Federal Government should allow consultation of small firms and high-technology start-up companies, to rent the vacant space with short-term contracts, which could come to an end when the Government would need to this space.

“In the meantime, the buildings would be occupied, the Government would receive revenue and would also increase security,” said Mr. Nabatian.

The spokesman at public works and Government Services, Sébastien Bois, however argued that federal buildings, including the unused space, have contributed to the local economy, with the payment of 74,63 million $ in taxes paid directly into the coffers of the city of Ottawa in 2011.

The common front lasted only a few hours, since the day of sending mail, the Member of Parliament for Ottawa-Orléans, Royal Galipeau has volte-face.

After a discussion with Mr. Watson and pleased to see that a station is planned on Queen Street, between Bank and Metcalfe streets near Parliament Hill, the Member recognizes his error.

“It is a little embarrassing, I should call Mr. Watson before signing the letter.” What I asked was already provided for in the plans. I was so wrong, I did not sufficiently studied the folder. “Anyway, what interests me the most, it is an extension of the light rail to Orleans.”

In the House of Commons, Mr. Bélanger remains as inflexible.

“We are many to think that it would be valid to have an output on the place of the Confederation.” The Federal Government contributes financially to the project and I think that we have say. The station initially planned led to the heart of the capital on Parliament, the Château Laurier, the canal… “Queen Street station, somewhere between Bank Street and Metcalfe is not a representative of our capital city station, as can be that of Westminster for the London underground.”

Mayor Watson strikes back

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson is visibly not tasted the initiative. In a letter addressed to Mr. Bélanger dated May 14 including the Express Ottawa obtained copy, the first magistrate of Ottawa response.

“It would appear that you ignore the fact that the LRT project of the city of Ottawa has provided a station located two blocks from Parliament Hill.” (…). The location of the stations along Queen Street is well known since last July. The Downtown East station is closer to Parliament than the station of the Confederation square you propose. (…) People who will emerge from the station Downtown East will have the best view of the building of the Parliament of any national capital. (…) The city centre is station provides access to federal institutions. (…) I wish that all local elected representatives can have a fair and accurate picture thirteen stations planned under the first phase of the LRT. (…) “It is a shame that you have not required to be called or to participate in a briefing with regard to this project.”

The site of 2.1 billion is expected to begin next year and the city repeated in unison his concern to respect the budgetary framework. For elected officials for Ottawa-Vanier, a vital project must not only be thought in financial terms.

“It is important to ensure good thinking stations and their location.” Even if it slightly exceeds the costs, refers to a project in the long term, which will be amortized over its duration of existence. All the comments I have received on our approach were positive. “It is a record that I am since the beginning and I think it is my duty to speak in the name of the people I represent.”

„Manchmal are believers legally forced to practice their profession without reference to their religious or moral convictions, or even opposed to it. ” A „radikaler Saekularismus“ and a „aggressiver“ lined up against any claim to truth relativism.

Freedom of religion, one of the most important rights of Canadian society, is no right awarded by the Government, but a human right that the State must recognize and respect.

Canadians would have to form their conscience “gemaess of the objective Wahrheit”, not on personal preference or the will of the majority, and preserve the right to resistance of conscience, especially when questions about the dignity of life and the family.

In some Canadian provinces, this right of compromises either surrounded or lost. In some places, pharmacists should contraceptives or the „Pille danach“ sell or Registrar will either close same-sex marriages or cancel. In these cases, Christians had a right and a duty to make laws that violate the moral order.

Ottawa River

By Ottawa In French NewsNo Comments

Hello!

Welcome to Ottawa, where I came install me almost 15 years ago and that I love! Yes, the common transit are quite effective (mainly because the Transitway, a corridor reserved for buses and that allows very fast movement). The constructing Gatineau e villed an equivalent corridor on its territory – it’s called the Rapibus. Many buses, on both sides of the River, are also hybrid diesel electric buses.

I would invite you to continue to do a tour in the World Exchance Centre, in downtown, between O’Connor and Metcalfe, and Queen and Albert. It is a tower in Office, with cinema, restaurants and shops at the floors below. The owners have implemented an innovative program of “green dining” restaurant owners-tenants may join if they wish. The program includes several waste reduction measures, including utensils, paper napkins and compostable plates (recycling and compost bins are also installed throughout the food court). The place is completely crowded every day at the lunch hour, I find admirable initiative!

What I like the most of Ottawa, is that nature is omnipresent. Will you take a walk along the Ottawa River, try Island Park and Bate Island (the view is superb and you will see a record population of geese, ducks, Groundhogs and squirrels). Will also take a tour behind the Hill, where a small shelter for stray cats (there are crosses also families of raccoons, marmots, rabbits, etc.). It is a truly unique place in its kind and the last place where one would expect to see so many small wild animals. Mooney’s Bay and Hog’s Park, South of the city, it is also really great!

And it is not true that travelling the sidewalks to 7 pm! There are always plenty of things to do and businesses open, even if it is true it depart a little downtown. For action, will make a tour in the ByWard Market. There are also a large number of shopping centres, which are open until 9 pm every day of the week. And summer, a festival does not expect the other! Take a few minutes to stroll to the Major, just behind the Château Laurier Park! And so much to do, go admire the gardens and the view behind the Museum of civilization in Gatineau (you will be able to return to Ottawa on foot via the Alexandra Bridge, a route is reserved to pedestrians – the view of Parliament is superb)!

Ottawa, is not a city as flat as it seems, even if the pace of life is probably not as frenetic as Montreal (where I have lived, that being said, then my comments are to be taken with a grain of salt).

Oh, and for Serge Légaré: reading your comment, I have the impression that you waited the bus on Rideau Street, you! It is true that it is constantly enquiquiner by beggars and that there are many tattoo shops. That said, I assure you that it is not at all representative of the whole of the beautiful city of Ottawa.

Good visit, in any case!

Montréal-part Federal Funds Invested In Ottawa Stimulus

By Ottawa In Italian NewsNo Comments

Montréal-part federal funds invested in Ottawa stimulus plan would have ended up in the hands of companies at the center of a scandal in Quebec. The investigation carried out by a news agency Canadian Press.

The Cp has highlighted as in at least three cases the money allocated by the Federal Government in the scope of all economy stimulus package went to finish the Centre companies of judicial investigations today. Among the companies that have received federal funds include those owned by Tony Accurso and Lino Zambito, on which hang several heads of indictment. Public funds also went to Bpr and Transport and Excavation Mascouche (Tam) whose corporate leaders have been accused of fraud.

Despite the proliferation in recent years cases of corruption in the construction industry in Quebec, the Federal Government has decided to continue funding the sector, handsomely without strengthening the controls on how these funds were then actually spent: according to Ottawa, in fact, at this juncture the control lies with individual provinces and the Federal Government.

The Cp has examined a series of infrastructure projects in the municipalities of Laval, Terrebone, Liverpool and three small towns north of Montréal, which in recent years have experienced a real boom.

These three urban centres were theater raid by police, two last month and one in 2011. Since then, fifteen people were arrested for illegal payments during construction of water shared by network and Mascouche Terrebone, a neighbouring municipality.

Last year, however, had taken the handcuffs for seven people in Liverpool. In any case, the allegations made by the police and the judiciary does not relate directly financed projects with money from the federal stimulus plan. A cause for concern, but wants to create relationships between these companies and a specific plan for stimulus in Quebec, known by the French acronym Preco. According to this program, the Federal Government moved 350 million dollars in Quebec, which in turn provides funding to municipalities to be used for jobs in local water systems.
