And it wastes $250,000 in productivity improvements each month and maintains a business model that does not meet the basic needs of its users.

It's particularly outrageous to enable the decision by waiving the usual requirements for Community engagement. In this case, the concerned community is the subset of Haligonians with mobility problems.<br /><br />So why not take a page from your own book and file a complaint with the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission naming Council, the mayor, the staff responsible for this report, and each of the councilors who voted to waive consultation with the people who live with mobility disabilities?<br /><br />The Human Rights Commission is so reluctant to offend other government agencies that it probably will reject the complaint. Never the less, filing a complaint would call attention to this grievance.Parker Donhamhttp://contrarian.canoreply@blogger.com
