Montr\u00e9al, December 7, 2020<\/strong> –<\/strong> The measures unveiled in the 2021 budget of the Plante-Dorais administration do nothing to reassure Montrealers in these difficult times. On the contrary, they further weaken the city\u2019s financial health. Ensemble Montr\u00e9al councillors are therefore announcing they will vote against the adoption of the 2021 budget and the 2021-2030 ten-year capital investment program (CIP-10) at the extraordinary council meeting to be held December 9. Their main objections are published in a minority report* that the party will submit to the Finance and Administration committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGiven the pandemic, we could have expected the current administration to change its practices, after having hit Montrealers with cost increases totalling close to a billion dollars in three years. What we see for 2021 is that expenditures for municipal services have increased again by $166.5 million. In fact, the only way they managed to avoid increasing overall expenditures has been to slash the cash payment of capital costs (CPCC). However, CPCC is what prevents overloading the debt, which will attain gigantic proportions in 2021,\u201d explained Mr. Lionel Perez, Leader of the Official Opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, for the third consecutive year, the debt ratio (forecast at 120% for 2021) is significantly above the limit set by the city\u2019s debt management policy, which is 100% of city revenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The debt is not the only element of the budget that worries Ensemble Montr\u00e9al councillors. There is also the 2020 deficit of the Montr\u00e9al Urban Agglomeration, on the order of $155.6 million. No information has been provided on how it will be absorbed. What\u2019s more, there are fears of a larger deficit in 2021 since the current administration has chosen to underestimate certain expenditures and overestimate income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow can we forecast that in 2021, fines will bring in $195.6 million, when they amounted to $120.7 million in 2020, $75 million less? Does the administration think the pandemic will be over on January 1? It boasts of presenting a \u201cCOVID budget\u201d, but the amounts invested in fighting the pandemic are very low compared to the actual 2020 costs. Likewise, pandemic-related public safety expenditures in the 2021 budget are significantly under-estimated compared to the 2020 actuals,\u201d added Mr. Alan DeSousa, vice-chair of the Finance and Administration committee and Ensemble Montr\u00e9al spokesperson for matters of finance and transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What this says to Ensemble Montr\u00e9al\u2019s elected representatives is that the balanced budget announced for 2021 is a phony. \u201cWith forecasts like this, the city is heading straight for another deficit: COVID-19-related expenses are under-estimated and there’s no sign of any genuine effort to reduce general expenditures. Not to mention that they\u2019re using $178 million from the Qu\u00e9bec government \u2013 an unplanned and non-recurrent amount \u2013 to pay their 2021 operating expenses. So where will they get another $178 million to balance the 2022 budget?\u201d asked Mr. Perez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Council members also condemned the Plante-Dorais administration\u2019s 2021-2030 CIP-10, a ten-year capital investment plan (replacing the earlier three-year CIP) that offers nothing new except allowing them to announce today \u201cpriority\u201d projects that will not take place for many years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe case of connecting Boulevard Cavendish is a striking example. Everyone knows how important this project is for the redevelopment of the old hippodrome area. They\u2019re telling us that Cavendish will get $245 million in the CIP-10, but the first instalment won\u2019t be paid until 2024. So the current administration can boast it\u2019s investing hundreds of millions in a project which, in reality, is still at least four years away,\u201d notes Mr. DeSousa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With respect to the waterfront park that must replace the Lachine marina \u2013 closed in summer 2020 by the Projet Montr\u00e9al administration without consultation and without notice to some 400 boaters \u2013 the CIP-10 provides only $5.7 million over the next three years. To all appearances, the real construction work won\u2019t start before 2024. \u201cSo was it really worth it to act with so much urgency? Nothing in the CIP-10 justifies such a precipitous closure,\u201d continued Mr. DeSousa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, the Plante-Dorais administration developed its 2021 budget with the same recklessness as their earlier budgets. \u201cThis administration just can\u2019t stop itself from always spending more money. It was evident in the years before the pandemic; it hasn\u2019t changed for 2021 \u2013 except that now, the consequences are much more serious. Without a radical cut in expenses, without increasing the cash payment to reduce the debt load, and with overestimating anticipated 2021 revenues, the city will hit the wall. How many more times will the Qu\u00e9bec government be willing to rescue its metropolis?\u201d concluded Mr. Perez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our proposed amendments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing that the budget and the CIP-10 will be adopted even without Official Opposition support, Ensemble Montr\u00e9al would nevertheless like to make improvements to the extent possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019 why the Official Opposition\u2019s elected members will present a series of five amendments aiming to correct some of the shortcomings identified in the administration\u2019s proposals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Create a budget item “Appropriations for contingent COVID-19 expenses\u201d and allocate to it a sum of $25 million, by transferring the $5 million planned contingent spending and drawing an additional $20 million from the operating expenses of central departments, excluding the boroughs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    • Create a body camera acquisition program for SPVM officers in the 2021-2030 CIP and allocate to this program $7 million for 2021 and $10 million for 2022 by drawing the necessary funds from the amounts budgeted for the Express Bike Network and bicycle path network development for these two years.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      • Allocate an additional sum of $1 million to the mixed intervention teams for the homeless and psychosocial emergencies in order to hire social workers at the SPVM, drawing this sum from the SPVM\u2019s operating expenses.
        <\/li>
      • Add additional sums of $10 million each for 2021 and 2022 to the land acquisition and social and community housing creation program to the 2021-2030 CIP. To this end, we propose drawing amounts of $10 million in each of 2021 and 2022 from the sums allocated in the 2021-2030 CIP for the Express Bike Network and bicycle path network development.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        • Create a program to maintain the ecological value of natural environments in parks under the responsibility of the major parks department in the 2021-2030 CIP, and allocate to the program annual amounts of $2.2 million for the entire duration of the 2021-2030 CIP.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
