amend clause 10 to read as follows:

That based upon the referral to the Finance and Administration Committee from the Mayor’s office of a letter dated November 28, 2011 from Senior Counsel of the Ombudsman Ontario to the Mayor inviting the Mayor to:   “Please provide copies of the following documentation to assist with our investigation, by December 9, 2011: -The closed session agenda for the November 7, 2011 meeting. -The closed session minutes from the November 7, 2011 meeting. -Any documents (letters, reports, etc.) that were considered during the closed session. -Any other documents related to the matter being investigated.”’   and based upon the representation in that letter that “[i]f the City intends to withhold or redact information on the basis of solicitor-client privilege, we require that you provide us with a list of the information and/or documents being withheld, including the date, the nature of the document, and the name of its creator and addresses, as well as the reason for not disclosing the document in response to our request”;   and having regard to the reasons of the Supreme Court of Canada in Canada (Privacy  Commissioner) v. Blood Tribe Department of Health which describe the reason for not disclosing solicitor-client privileged documents as follows:  “It is well established that the general words of a statutory grant of authority to an office holder such as an ombudsperson … do not confer a right to access solicitor-client privileged documents, even for the limited purpose of determining whether the privilege is properly claimed.  That role is reserved to the courts.  Express words are necessary to permit a regulator or other statutory official to “pierce” the privilege”.   That the following actions be taken in response to the request of the Ontario Ombudsman, dated November 28, 2011, on the basis that the Confidential Minutes of the Committee of the Whole meeting relating to the occupation of Victoria Park are subject to both solicitor-client and litigation privilege and on the basis that anything said or any information supplied or any document or thing produced by any person in the course of any inquiry by or proceedings before the Ombudsman under the Ombudsman Act is privileged in the same manner as if the inquiry or proceedings were proceedings in a court: and on the basis that the Ombudsman will not, disclose any information received by him or her as Ombudsman except  that the Ombudsman may disclose in any report made by him under this Act such matters as in the Ombudsman’s opinion ought to be disclosed in order to establish grounds for his or her conclusions and recommendations.   (a)       the City Clerk BE INSTRUCTED to withhold or redact the November 7, 2011 closed session minutes and any documents that were considered during the November 7, 2011 closed session, on the basis of solicitor-client privilege except that the City Clerk is directed not to redact any paragraphs in the confidential minutes indicating a vote on a direction or instruction to officers, employees, solicitors or agents  of the municipality and the identity of the officers, employees, solicitors or agents of the municipality to whom any direction or instruction was given but the City Clerk shall treat as confidential and privileged any instructions to the city’s solicitors that were given and the City Clerk will not waive confidentiality or privilege in communicating the   confidential minutes to the Ombudsman;   (b)       the City Clerk BE INSTRUCTED  to disclose to the Ombudsman any  description contained in the confidential minutes which identifies the documents considered at the closed meeting provided that by making such disclosure  the City Clerk does not waive confidentiality or privilege with respect to any advice subject to solicitor-client privilege; and   (c)        the City Clerk BE DIRECTED to:   (i)         provide the confidential minutes as redacted to the Ombudsman on the basis that the confidential minutes as redacted continue to be confidential and privileged;   (ii)        to withhold in their entirety any confidential reports from the city’s solicitors on the basis of maintaining solicitor-client privilege and  subject to the requirements for confidentiality that apply to the Ombudsman as set out in the Ombudsman Act and Regulations.
