I would say that municipalities are very familiar with the principle whereby funding for provincial, territorial and municipal projects is divided into three parts. That's nothing new. The old Building Canada Plan operated on the same basis in terms of anything other than the excise tax on gasoline. They know this very well.
What's different about the renewed plan is that all projects of over $100 million will have to be analyzed using an analytical grid to determine whether Canadians would benefit more from the project being carried out through a public-private partnership.
The approach whereby spending is divided into three parts has been known to municipalities for a long time. No changes have been made when it comes to that.
