FA5.4received
At the April 8, 2025, meeting of the Economic and Community Development Committee, the recommendation from our committee ( FA4.2 / EC19.8 ) was amended so that the creation of an inventory of City-delivered services in French will be added to Economic Development and Culture's work plan in 2026 instead of 2025. I propose that the Committee receive, for information and discussion, the amendment to our motion as adopted by the Economic and Community Development Committee. Including this as a standalone agenda item will provide members with an opportunity to reflect on the amendment and comment on the matter.
