Ward 7 councillor Josh Morgan put out an amendment, requesting Dr. Mackie first attend a meeting with city council and provide advice.
“If advice is to be given on a possible municipal bylaw, I think it would be appropriate to have Dr. Mackie here to answer questions about the advice that he’s given,” said Morgan.Ward 8 councillor Steve Lehman called it a “ question,” and said he must be able to question the chief medical officer of health in a public forum before considering any public legislation from council.
Arielle Kayabaga, councillor for Ward 13, said waiting until the next SPPC meeting in August for Dr. Mackie’s answers would be too long. Councillors voted 14-0 on Ward 7 councillor Josh Morgan’s amendment. Ward 11 councillor Stephen Turner recused due to his employment with the MLHU.
