"I've gone to everybody and their brother. Where you can be helpful is with our friends at the province. "Get on the phone today, or write a letter. We need you to start going to the provincial government and saying that Halton has got a financial problem." Carr said he met with Oakville MPP Kevin Flynn last week to ask for a loan guarantee that would help protect the region if it takes on the debt to build, then sees a delay in growth-related revenues due to a significant economic downturn.

Halton Regional Chair Cary Carr Oakville will reduce that number, Carr noted that Halton is looking at imposing a regional tax levy to collect the $60 to $100 million needed to be contributed by the community to fund it. He argues that legislative changes are needed to allow the region to collect development charge dollars to help build new hospitals required because of growth. Carr also reiterated a number of the problems that municipalities across Canada have been highlighting for several years, including the $123 billion national infrastructure deficit. In Halton, the infrastructure deficit ­ or the amount of money currently needed to make necessary repairs or upgrades to roads and facilities ­ is estimated at more than $300 million.
