	The Daily, Wednesday, November 12, 2003. Public infrastructure and the performance of the Canadian economy
		Canada's $157.3 billion in publicly-owned infrastructure - roads, mass transit, water supplies, wastewater treatment facilities and so on - has a tangible impact on the productivity and the economic performance of the Canadian business sector, according to two new studies.
		During the past 40 years, growth in infrastructure has accounted for just under one-fifth, about 18%, of multifactor productivity gains in the business sector, a measure of the efficiency with which inputs are used to produce goods and services.
		The growth in Canada's standard of living reflects the impact of many factors, two of which are public infrastructure capital productivity and the extent to which public infrastructure capital keeps up with the growth of the Canadian population.

	The Daily, Monday, January 30, 2006. Study: The age of Canada's public infrastructure
		During the past 40 years, growth in infrastructure has accounted for just under one-fifth of productivity gains in the business sector, a measure of the efficiency with which inputs are used to produce goods and services.
		The average age of municipal infrastructure is a function of the development of new suburbs, which are made up of recent infrastructure, as well as the infrastructure in older neighbourhoods.
		The development of new suburbs may decrease the average age of the municipal infrastructure even if nothing is done to offset the aging of infrastructure in older parts of a city.
