Government Operations committee I do not have that data in percentages. We are a national organization, so we are not aware of everything that goes on in each of the municipalities in Canada. However, according to our figures, about 150 P3s are in place or in development in Canadian municipalities. Imagine the

Government Operations committee Michael could answer questions about construction teams better than me. But the reason why we are saying that it is important to have a capacity-building program for municipalities is so that we can be sure that municipal employees understand exactly how contracts have to be prep

Government Operations committee With respect to CETA, our position has been pretty clear from the very beginning. We've had very good dialogue with the government on this matter. There are a variety of issues, but ultimately there are three things that are really important. One is reciprocity: if we're giving a

Government Operations committee The question was whether there were any additional requests.

Government Operations committee I agree with what Michael just said about the need for an integrated approach so that we're not faced with this either-or scenario.

Government Operations committee Thank you, Mr. Chair. We really appreciate the invitation this morning. I would like to start by saying that the FCM is the voice of the municipal governments.

Transport committee There is a role for the private sector. I wouldn't put a percentage on it because it would depend on specific situations. The tradition has been a third, a third, and a third.

Transport committee Right. Traditionally, the federal government has been in the financing game for capital. It creates challenges. If you look at last year, in the city of Toronto, the financing available for the TTC through provincial-federal transfers and through the fare box was not sufficient

Transport committee No. The infrastructure stock in this country is extensive and out of date, so we would be arguing that it needs to be not just for new infrastructure, because there's so much out there that needs to be repaired.

Transport committee Yes, our smallest member has a population of five.

Brock Carlton
Transport committee Absolutely. They're represented around the board table just as the big cities are, and they're understanding a couple of things. One is that the conversation is about a perspective on infrastructure that is global in nature, so their issues would be in that long-term infrastructu
