The Parties agree to develop and implement a framework for reporting to the public on the outcomes and results achieved from Public Infrastructure investments in Ontario across the range of federal Public Infrastructure programs. The reporting framework will be developed within 12 months of the signing of this Agreement. The Parties agree on the need for a reporting framework that reflects Canada and Ontario's accountability to both their citizens and their respective legislatures.
The Parties agree that any funding agreement signed by the Parties pursuant to the Building Canada plan will include provisions to ensure that outcomes and results of all investments under the Building Canada plan form part of the above reporting framework. To ensure an efficient reporting framework that reflects the needs of Canada, and Ontario and its communities and avoids duplication, the Parties agree to develop a reporting framework that builds upon existing reporting practices, such as the outcome reporting framework being developed for the Federal Gas Tax program.
