Transport committee  Well, certainly the work FCM does in Ottawa is about enabling and facilitating our members in their work. Decisions about the best case at the local level we reserve for discussions around the council table. In that sense, with that frame, we rarely get into presenting moral imperatives to our members.

Transport committee  Sure. As my colleague Mr. Buda said, municipalities are in the business of already providing the best value for tax dollars, and that comes with a predictable stream of investments that you can bank on and plan on. From what we've heard from the members we've consulted with, the discussions at the council table rarely involve moral imperatives.
