We don't think broad-brush federal guidelines lead to effective services. In the area of health care, we believe that the Canada Health Act has stymied innovation and has prevented provinces and local health authorities from innovating.
In the areas of densification and downloading, we believe the biggest problem with transit and transportation is that the people who build roads provide them free of charge. You see bigger houses in pastures farther out because it costs you nothing to use the road to get to your job, and we think densification would occur at a rational level if people had to pay for the roads to get there.
I can give you a quick anecdote from my part of the world. In the Fraser Valley, one of the cities went on a massive job-creation endeavour and rezoned all kinds of industrial land. It zoned for housing close to the industrial land, provided tax incentives for industry to locate in the city, and then watched its labour force migrate 30 miles down the freeway so they could have bigger houses with bigger garages. So whereas previously the plugged on-ramp was the one from the suburbs into Vancouver, now the freeway interchange between the city and the valley is plugged, and the one that was practically out at the mountains, because the freeway was free to use.
