PUBLIC FINANCE

PDG undertakes national scale public finance policy work; assists provinces to better support municipalities; and carries out financial planning and strategy work directly for municipalities. At national level, we have conducted research and analysis to support policy development with respect to tariffs, property rates, capital and operating grant mechanisms, as well as supporting clients with the roll-out of policy. Our work directly for municipalities is typically based on a set of financial models, developed and refined over the years, including long term financial planning tools and financial viability models for individual municipal services. Over the past decade, we have built up specific experience with tariff setting and the affordability of services, including the development of tools to set tariffs and to test their affordability.
