Yes. In fact, our work has done a survey of the various estimates that are out there. Those estimates range, as I said, from 2% to 40%. If you look at the City of Hamilton report, on the estimate of increase on one particular project, the low bid for this project was 83% higher than the city's budget. So the facts are actually quite clear. Economists suggest that reducing competition increases prices. In all of the evidence presented to us by cities and staffers, whom I presume are quite competent otherwise they wouldn't be there, nobody suggests that costs decrease because of closed bidding. In fact even the beneficiaries of closed tendering suggest that costs increase.
I've yet to hear why this is of benefit to taxpayers, why this is of benefit to governments, why this is a benefit to Canadians at all. The data shows otherwise.
