Well, there is evidence that the municipality of Hamilton has actually issued a report indicating the costs are between 20% and 40%. There are similar instruments for Waterloo. But presumably the FCM, if it were interested in keeping costs down for its members, would oppose this kind of practice and its imposition by another level of government.
The FCM does comment on the policies of higher orders of government all the time, so it would not be unusual for it to do so in a case like this one.
I'd like to ask Mr. Dijkema. Are you aware of any data on the cost inflation related to closed tendering?
