Transport committee  At the end of the day when the facility is complete, there is a teaching component. We intend on educating our young people on how important it is and what it's all about. That was an important element for us to include in the construction piece.

Transport committee  Thank you for the question. We recently broke ground on the project. It will be the first closed-loop system in North America. It will collect the organic waste from the curbside; bring it to the facility; turn it into fuel that will fuel the garbage trucks that picked up the or

Transport committee  The federal component of the funding is $17 million, which goes out to about 25% funding. I think it's a two-year process. I'm sorry, I wasn't at the beginning of the process, but it has been about two years.

Transport committee  I wouldn't know that number offhand, but I know it would be small. When you look at our regional TransLink operation, it's bridges, it's roads, it's SeaBus, it's buses, it's HandyDART, it's rail, and it's light rail. That would be a very small component of funding.

Transport committee  Thank you. Value for money is something I know every level of government would be looking for. Direct federal funding is always welcome, but I agree with Derek in terms of the P3 process. While it can be onerous, if at the end of the day it shows value for money, it's a good pro

Transport committee  Is it available today, Jasbir?

Transport committee  I would like to see the money as soon as possible.

Transport committee  The number one project right now is our LRT. In terms of making sure that this 27 kilometres of connectivity is going to allow us to shape the community, given the growth we have, I think that will bring those opportunities to us. Right now, LRT is my primary focus.

Transport committee  I certainly can't, but my city manager can. I would like to sing his praises because we do have a great team. I'll let him speak to it directly.

Transport committee  The system would be one of TransLink, which is a regional system. They would own it.

Transport committee  A concessionaire would maintain and operate the system.

Transport committee  Yes, that is correct.
