Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz is questioning the sanity of proposed new rules for public-private partnerships...

Katz, however, said the proposed legislation may simply kill P3s and claimed the move caught the city by surprise....

"There was no dialogue. This just came out of nowhere. We heard about it the same time the media did," the mayor said Thursday in an interview. "They have nothing coming forward to help us with our infrastructure deficit. So while our infrastructure is rotting and decaying, the only work we've been getting done is through P3s."

"Why they would want to stop those kinds of projects in the future, you'd have to question one's sanity, in my opinion," Katz said.

Fielding called the proposed legislation "ridiculous" because the Selinger government has rejected city requests for access to new forms of growth revenue to pay for infrastructure, such vehicle-registration fees, gas taxes and a share of PST.
"Not only are they saying no to all these revenue ideas, but they're taking our tools away to finance infrastructure projects. It's more than frustration, it's ideologically driven," Fielding said.

Katz also said the province is playing games when it demands more transparency from the city, claiming the NDP government failed to consult the public on infrastructure-stimulus projects such as the MTS Iceplex.
"It's a great project, but if you want to talk openness and transparency, come on," the mayor said. "It's the epitome of hypocrisy."

He's upset because he can no longer partake in behind the door deals with his friends. Also why is it that only Katz's puppets are talked to in the media? Where are the opinions of our other, less childlike, councillors.
