The same technology that makes these systems relatively inexpensive and user friendly is now often being used by criminals to hack or defeat the systems during the commission of an offense. It's the old now you see it now you don't. Now these systems vary widely in their degree of vulnerability, so it's worth doing your research when evaluating your current system or considering a new one. Strong passwords, upgraded hardware and software will help, but the best way to defend against this sort of attack is by using a wired security camera system with a hard drive in a secure location.

One person was critically injured after an overnight shooting in the isabella and sherborne area. This is a live look at that scene as that investigation continues and it appears canadians are still planning to spend money on a trip this summer, despite the difficult economic times coming up, details of deloitte canada's summer travel outlook. It is 11 o'clock. 26 degrees from 299 queen street west. This is toronto's breaking news cp24. Good morning and thank you for joining us. I'm leena latafat will begin with city council meeting this week and major funding gaps will be the main talking point. Toronto is facing billions of dollars in funding shortfalls in infrastructure, transit, parks and libraries. Councillors will. They're hoping the other levels of government will help find a solution to the money troubles facing the city. This is a live shot from outside city hall this morning. Mayor olivia chow, she broke down some of the very urgent and expensive issues to address. >> If you look at subway one very, very important example. And it's not as rely voice. Want it to be. Because this is a 2.5 billion dollar in o t c capital back out. You've probably heard me say this before. We need new subway cars online, too. And we need it yesterday. So once again, we're hoping that the federal government put joiing to prevent show and city government so that we could put the order in so that we can make the service more reliable. >> We are desperate for finding we hear all the time here in willowdale, our fountain at mel lastman square is broken and you don't know where we're going to get the money to fix pot. So we can see our city is falling apart and this all leads back to something that we talked about last budget, which is that the city needs a new fiscal framework. We cannot run a city of our size just on property taxes. We have to have revenue coming for a percentage of income tax, a percentage of sales tax. That's the way we get to a better city. We have no choice but to go to the province and to the federal government. We are limited in the revenue tools that we have here in the city of toronto. >> We're also not able to run an operating deficit. So it's important that we continue that advocacy and they're also welcome to grant new revenue tools and the ability to to gather some more money ourselves. >> And councillors will also discuss a motion by brad bradford and jon burnside that we accelerate construction on the gardner by allowing work to go on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They say that could shave a year off the timeline and saved the city. A lot of money. That motion is expected to be tabled tomorrow. And staying at city hall, a special tribute there today for jaye robinson, who died last week after a long battle with cancer. >> Science to and

>> Moment of silence was held in memory of the long time. Don valley, west councillor flowers and a framed photo were placed on her spot in the chamber and her husband and 3 sons were in attendance as robinson's colleagues remembered her for her dedication and service lansing through the many initiatives j brought to council. There was a trend. So its support for the outdoor athletics profit participation. Sports. >> Jason, great values. Many of us supporting tennis and soccer and the protection of urban forestry. She advocated for safer roads, fighting impaired driving and fiscal responsibility. I believe that her last motion seconded mayor chow as council to support establishing a professional women's soccer league in toronto. We'll take you live to a press conference in the city now where federal officials are making an announcement about the canadian dental care plan. That's deputy prime minister chrystia freeland. Time to talk with you guys to talk with one of your patients. >> And to hear how having this plan in place. >> Means people are going to be able to afford to get their teeth taken care of. Was telling me and mark how awful it's to have people not be able to afford to get their t's taking care of. And only come to see their dental hygienist when they're really in pain. And what she said really broke my heart that by that it can be too late. And you have to extract the person's tooth, which is painful means they lose a tooth, probably really expensive, bad for everybody. And I'm sure for doctor heber him and marcella and as health care professionals, it must break your heart when people you want to care for, can't afford to be cared for. So I'm really, really just thrilled that we're changing that. I do want to start by sharing some good news about our economy. Inflation fell to 2.7% in april. That is down from 2.9% in march. For 4 months in a row. Inflation in canada has within the bank of canada's target range. It is now at a three-year low and wages have now outpaced inflation for 15 months in a row. This is great news for all canadians with are fiscally responsible economic plan. Our government is doing everything we can to support the bank of canada and to help make it possible for the bank to lower interest rates has seen as possible. I know for small businesses that something really important. Our budget is about ensuring fairness for every generation of canadians and a strong health care system is essential to ensuring fairness because no matter your age. Or your income. Every canadian deserves to get the high quality health care they need. That's really part of canada. Part of being canadian. It's simple class. Lenny, definitely new civil and on saint in count e still think to do some media out to do diesel much this do something. Hoping to be a past and may be okay. Lace windy bass, they call that count. Simple news play, something him, push it to pull met gas that pena us beijing, nationa 8 any death said su may become law canada. Cbc include 2 duty deaths in poole implement become ill, confident event, a they called the sip cup. And that is why last year we launched our new canadian dental care plan. Because up until now in canada, you've been able to tell how much money someone makes or how much money their parents earned by their smile. That's not right. That's not fair. And so I'm just delighted that our country, our government is now changing that. I'm really happy to announce that as of this week. 2 million canadian seniors have been approved to receive coverage under our new canadian dental care plan. That's 2 million seniors

across canada who are now able to get the dental care they need. And if you haven't signed up, one of the reasons that we're here talking about this is go online. Or phone and see if you qualify. We just spoke to rafael and he said it was actually really easy to do. And marcel envoy to have said that a lot of their patients, treating people who signed up. It's really, really worth checking. Maybe it will mean you can afford to go see a dentist when it's tough. Now or maybe it will mean if you're already seeing a dentist that you have a little bit of extra money because we all know that life challenge right now. I'm also so glad to announce that there are now close to 10,000 oral health care providers, including sparkling dental hygiene right here on st. Clair in toronto. Offering services to patients covered under the canadian dental care plan. This includes dentists, dental specialist, independent dental hygiene, us and interest. I really want to the amazing warm kind, thoughtful people here at sparking dental hygiene and all the dental care providers who have signed up for supporting our dental care plan. The work he too, is really, really important you're keeping us healthy. And I'm just so grateful to you to the 3 dental chair providers we have here with us, but also to everyone who works on this across canada. Hilton, a cliff asian-canadian dismantle it don't do those off our land coverage will be extended to 2 children under the age of 18 in clay. Eventful. >> And those receiving a tax credit for persons with disabilities going to do is children under the age of 12 are already covered by the canadian dental care than which was launched in december of 2022. Me, if you do this coverage allowed more than 440,000 children to get the dental care that they need altogether. This means year. >> 9 million uninsured canadians, people who have been paying out of their own pockets to get their teeth taking care of. We'll have dental coverage. Our canadian dental care plan is going to make already making a real concrete difference in the lives of millions of canadians. Millions of canadians who won't have to wait until they're in real pain and only come see their dentist. Then have to spend a lot of money and end up maybe having to have their teeth pulled instead, people can come and get the regular care they need. And for many canadians are dental care plan means they will no longer have to choose between taking care of their teeth and paying their bills. That's what fairness is about. Now we know that there are some like the conservative leader who don't share our priorities. Pierre poilievre has already voted against this budget. He's been clear that he opposes making the very wealthiest pay their fair share so that we can afford to make these essential investments in our new canadian dental care plan so that we can afford to deliver opportunities that all canadians deserve. All they anything. The chef concept it to see seat back to fail on south, could back homes, priests? It definitely in a little some fun ford to take their children to the dentist back. >> Not the south nor is he concerned about self ensuring and finding out whether seniors can afford concept that prosthetic dentistry. So while the conservative party is looking for the smallest excuse to reduce investments in canadians, not without them all. Our government is taking action now and we're doing it with determination. Nick. And I think this is because we know that canadians and are counting on to hand it over. >> To one of the key people who is working so hard to make all of this happened, my friend. All right, we've been

listening to federal officials making an announcement about the national dental care plan. You were just listening to chrystia freeland provide an update there. The plan aims to cover canadian residents who don't have private dental coverage. Ottawa starting with seniors. >> The minister there saying as of this week, 2 million canadian seniors will have been approved to receive dental coverage. We should note there have been a number of concerns with this rollout as well. Many dentists have decided not to take part in the program, arguing they just don't have enough details.
