Thank you for the question.
I'm not going to comment on any specific projects per se, although anecdotally our groups do hear that a number of projects that are released are perhaps not viewed as the best. They were viewed as more expedient in the sense that this is what could be done within a certain deadline.
Take, for example, the MetroLinx regional transportation plan. That particular plan has been funded, to date, $9.5 billion by the province. I believe there has been some funding for non-RTP projects by the federal government; for example, the Spadina subway station. But those are long-term projects that require many years of public consultation, engineering design, removal of utilities, and construction phases before you even get to completion. We've been talking about the Spadina subway, for example, for seven or eight years. It's been through two EA processes. So we're concerned that if all of the stimulus money goes out the door, there'll be little money left over for those types of priority projects.
