Again, we're talking from the same song sheet, and hence my opening comments with respect to dealing with what is—namely, our infrastructure deficit, which is, quite frankly, what the gas tax is primarily dedicated to. All municipalities are dedicating the gas tax to roads, water, waste water, roads, transit, and really trying to catch up in that infrastructure deficit, or what was.
So now, what can be with respect to smart cities? Would you agree that it would take individual jurisdictions, albeit local, regional, even provincial to some extent, to establish a smart city community improvement and/or growth strategy that would also include or be driven by to some extent an asset management plan to ensure that your assets are being looked after—repair, maintenance, and replacement—but also to include the future, as in “vision”? I think that's the key word here. Of course, there are also the infrastructure investments that would satisfy the recommendations of that vision from a dedicated funding source, as you state.
Would you also agree that this would be driven by existing strategies, such as the national transportation strategy, such as smart city or infrastructure strategies, or other strategies that our partners may in fact have; and that this would also be driven by our assets, our location, our constant relationship with the U.S. because of close proximity? Would you also agree that they would drive the overall agenda?
