From the transcript

My take is, if we have to do 15 amendments, we should have not brought it forward until it was done. It's not a good ordinance, not a good piece of legislation. So I wanted to be very clear on the record. I think this process is and has been deeply flawed in how we got there. I said this in the first reading, I would have much rather seen both concerns of the public, concerns from the assembly, and potentially telecommunications stakeholders addressed through council.
