And if the Feds only come up with a third of the cost, take the money and build the portions that it can cover.<BR/><BR/>It's for this reason the Ontario government has absolved the municipalities of its 1/3rd responsibility. And if the feds don't kick in their third, we'll continue on regardless, building what we can afford, at a slower pace.James Bowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888307747088266395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-32104603300724554842009-01-27T10:42:00.000-07:002009-01-27T10:42:00.000-07:00City of GP lets it's list go tomorrow, included wi...City of GP lets it's list go tomorrow, included will be the community energy system. <BR/><BR/>Details here:<BR/><BR/>http://bill-given.blogspot.com/2009/01/community-energy-system-ces.htmlBill Givenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570674548431178061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-80313231137519709802009-01-27T10:23:00.000-07:002009-01-27T10:23:00.000-07:00even if the money went to these very deserving inf...even if the money went to these very deserving infrastructure programs, they simply won't get off the ground as long as the Feds expect the municipalities to kick in a 1/3 of the costs (throw the provinces 1/3 into the mix as well).Sean S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03144610271786881954noreply@blogger.com
