I was in Ottawa in mid-August for the Association of Municipalities of Ontario's meeting and I used that opportunity to meet with the P3 president, John McBride. They are still staffing, so it was a little slower than we had hoped for. One of the concepts we talked to him about was the $50 million threshold that Minister Flaherty put in place. We think that's appropriate for AFP/P3-type projects, but it's difficult when you're talking about, say, bridges. We talked about bundling certain infrastructure projects, like bridges, so that the federal government could get more involved with the P3 model.
