“I made the call right before leaving, that in fact, I would just call in . Because I felt the obligation to … represent my residents, represent my position on some of the important issues,” said Hill.
“There are efficiencies and equities that are being created through this,” said College Ward Coun. Laine Johnson. “I would not want to claw it back.”Article contentStittsville Coun. Glen Gower said it’s a question that’s been grappled with by council, as well as some of the boards he sits on. Lo doesn’t think councillors should be expected to work while on vacation, and for the most part, thinks residents understand that their elected officials need a holiday sometime.

Hill said he thinks Ottawans have more at their fingertips than ever before to assess how well he and fellow council members are representing them.
