Infrastructure Table

Mandate Statement

The Infrastructure Working Table will provide research and analytical support to, and develop options for the Provincial-Municipal Fiscal and Service Delivery Review.

This Working Table will focus on issues related to the funding of municipal infrastructure including a discussion of respective roles and responsibilities. It will consider the linkages between municipal infrastructure and shared federal, provincial and municipal priorities.  Some of those priorities include:

• safe drinking water and the protection of water resources;
• effective transportation and transit systems that provide a foundation for competitiveness and reduce green house gas and other emissions;
• sustainable waste management systems; and
• cultural and recreational facilities that support healthy, vibrant, active communities. 

Other topics to be explored include the role of reserve funds, debt, user fees, development charges and the issue of intergenerational equity. The Working Table will identify options on the design and implementation of future infrastructure programs.

In addition to examining such issues at a provincial level, the Table shall consider the differing circumstances of different types of municipalities (e.g. urban / rural, located in different regions, etc).
