I wouldn't want to see this program become too big and entangled in some of the federal-provincial negotiations that are already bedevilling much of what happens in our country. I think the thing to do is stick to the knitting originally of the federal department getting this done right; help to show other levels of government that it is achievable; learn from best practices, and then start to create that culture within the bidding industry, as both I and Mr. Varone have talked about, so that provincial levels of government can then say, “Hey, you've been able to achieve this working directly for federal infrastructure; now we have some joint work, and we'd like you to incorporate that.”
A number of provinces already have elements of a community benefits scale within some of their programs. I'm just worried that if we insist that it go to the entire gamut of federal, provincial, and municipal infrastructure joint ventures, we'd get tied up and people would not be embracing this, because they would be looking at the complexity.
