Government Operations committee  Obviously the federal government, in thinking through this, will want to be more specific with regard to it. Our experience at the provincial level has been essentially through the plan we released last year to set up a P3 screen, if you like—an AFP screen—so that all projects over a certain size are screened for whether or not there's value for money in pursuing the AFP model.

Government Operations committee  Infrastructure Ontario in fact has been reaching out at the municipal level. I mentioned agencies at the provincial level. We've also been working with Waterloo region and the City of Ottawa with delivery of their transit projects. One of the other matters that we mention in the submission to the federal government is perhaps providing seed money for municipalities to better understand the benefits of P3s, which can be complicated transactions.

Government Operations committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the opportunity to speak today about the Ministry of Infrastructure and the ministry's central role within the Ontario government to oversee capital infrastructure investment. The ministry is integral to modernizing Ontario's infrastructure, and also has responsibility for overseeing Ontario's growth planning policies and Ontario's large portfolio of real estate assets.
