In fact, the board would be a reference source. Take the example I gave earlier, about water lines. What is the price for the same size lines in Châteauguay, Trois-Rivières, Maniwaki, Montreal and Quebec City? You do not find these kinds of suppliers on every street corner. There are only a few manufacturers that make them. What is the price paid by municipalities?
For example, in Maniwaki, where I am, when we have work done, it is first valued by an engineering firm. Then the engineering firm makes recommendations. However, we do not have any reference points by which to assess those recommendations. We have nothing that tells us that a particular pipe costs, for example, $125 per linear metre, when we were paying $160 for it. That is the kind of information the board would provide. We would be able to find out what prices are paid in the industry everywhere in Quebec, since the board we are talking about is for Quebec. However, that idea could be applied throughout Canada.
