【市长辞职】庄德利昨晚宣读的辞职声明。(图)

多市市长庄德利昨晚辞职,以下是他在市议会大楼内宣读的声明。

「晚安!我想就一件棘手的个人问题向多伦多人通报最新情况。在大流行期间,我与办公室的一名员工建立了关系!未能达到作为市长和家庭男人所要求的标准。今年早些时候,双方同意结束了这种关系。前段时间在我们交往期间,这名员工决定离开市议会工作,并已在另处找到了一份工作。

我承认允许这种关系发展,在我的判断中是一个严重的错误。它出现的时候,我和结婚40 多年的妻子芭芭拉,因我在大流行期间履行了职责,正在忍受相隔许多漫长的时期。

因此,我决定辞去市长一职,这样我就可以接下来,反思我的错误了!做重建家人信任的工作。

我将与城市经理、城市文员和副市长一起工作,确保麦凯尔维未来几天有序过渡。

虽然我对不得不离开我热爱的工作深表遗憾,但在一个城市里,我爱得更深,我相信我的

内心最好全身心投入到修复这些所需的工作中最重要的关系。

同样,我认为对于市长办公室来说,重要的是不要在任何方式被玷污而不被看到市政府本身经历了长时间的争论,这个错误引起的是我的判断,特别是考虑到我们城市正面对挑战。

我深表歉意,并毫无保留地向多伦多人民和致所有被我伤害的人,这包括我的员工、我的同事和公共服务的人们。

最重要的是,我向我的妻子芭芭拉和我的家人道歉,我让他们跌得比谁都多。

我希望所有受我行为影响的人的隐私都能得到尊重这包括我。我认为如你所知,我是一个天生注重隐私的人,尽管有一些我和我做过的工作,希望你会尊重这一点,也尊重其他人的隐私,尤其是我的妻子和家人。

我已让操守专员了解这种关系并询问他审查它。

我要感谢多伦多人民信任我担任市长。这是一生的工作,虽然我让他们和我的家人在这种情况下失望!尽管如此,我仍然为有机会为人民服务而深感荣幸, 这座美妙的城市和我相信我为我真正热爱的城市做了一些好事,尤其是在大流行。

我通常以想问多少就问多少而闻名,但是关于这个场合我会让我的陈述不言而喻。

谢谢。」

原文如下:

「Good evening.

I want to update Torontonians on a difficult personal matter.

During the pandemic, I developed a relationship with an employee in my office in a way that did not meet the standards to which I hold myself as Mayor and as a family man.

The relationship ended by mutual consent earlier this year.

During the course of our relationship sometime ago, the employee decided to pursue employment outside City Hall and secured a job elsewhere.

I recognize that permitting this relationship to develop was a serious error in judgment on my part .

It came at a time when Barb, my wife of 40-plus years and I were enduring many lengthy periods apart while I carried out my responsibilities during the pandemic.

As a result, I have decided I will step down as Mayor so I can take the time to reflect on my mistakes and to do the work of rebuilding the trust of my family.

I will be working with the City Manager, the City Clerk and Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie to ensure an orderly transition in the coming days.

While I deeply regret having to step away from a job I love, in a city I love even more, I believe in my heart it is best to fully commit myself to the work required to repair these most important relationships.

As well, I think it is important for the Office of the Mayor not to in any way be tarnished and not to see the City government itself put through a prolonged period of controversy, arising out of this error in judgement on my part, especially in light of the challenges we face as a city.

I am deeply sorry and apologize unreservedly to the people of Toronto and to all those hurt by my actions including my staff, my colleagues and the public service.

Most of all, I apologize to my wife Barb and my family, whom I have let down more than anyone else.

I hope the privacy of all of those impacted by my actions can be respected and that includes me.

I think as you know I am a naturally private person notwithstanding some of the jobs I have had and I hope you will respect that, and the privacy of everyone else as well, especially my wife and family.

I have made the Integrity Commissioner aware of the relationship and asked him to review it.

I want to thank the people of Toronto for trusting me as Mayor.

It has been the job of a lifetime, and while I have let them and my family down in this instance, I have nonetheless been deeply honoured by the opportunity to serve the people of this wonderful city and I believe I did some good for the city I truly love particularly during the pandemic.

I’m usually known for taking as many questions as you want, but on this occasion I’ll let my statement speak for itself.

Thank you.」
