Step 1 in the Lansdowne 2.1 implementation? At today’s interest rates, probably in excess of $13 million/year to service the debt over 40 years. But who’s counting?
Has the tax INCREASE been set yet? If so it is NOT based on fact since this debt should be a part of it and if not, the servicing cost of this debt alone will add a point or two. How much do you as citizens of Ottawa like Landsdowne II now? and are you happy with your LRT, landfill projected costs etc.?
What we don’t know, but should, is how much of this $200 million in debentures is fresh debt and how much of it is replacing previous debentures that are reaching their maturity date. The latter category will likely be at higher interest rates than the debentures that are being replaced.
