Amendment — Sue Big Oil Reserve

Summary

• Proposed setting aside $6,622 (approximately $0.01 per resident) as a reserve contribution toward a potential joint B.C. municipalities lawsuit against oil companies, funded by reallocation within the Planning, Urban Design and Sustainability budget.
• Supporters argued it was a low-cost way for Vancouver to signal commitment to climate accountability and join other municipalities in legal action.
• Opponents questioned the appropriateness of using operating budget funds for litigation reserves and the relevance to core city services.
