I believe that they're academically independent. I've read these articles, every one of them. I'm talking about the articles published in Canadian Public Administration. I myself have published in the journal Canadian Public Administration. Some of them are SSHRC funded, which is, of course, the Government of Canada. SSHRC is the government granting agency that distributes grants to scholars.
I don't believe they've been funded by construction companies. To my knowledge, they haven't. I certainly see no evidence of that. In fact, the articles I'm reading, that I've read, and that I'm referring to have very good, very rigorous methodology. They have been peer-reviewed. I'm certainly aware of the peer-review process with CPA and CPP, Canadian Public Policy. I don't have any doubts concerning their intellectual bona fides.
