Yeah, there was some creative shuffling and swapping of funding all over the place given cash flows of different funding programs - including MSI/GreenTRIP and gas tax for Transportation projects and CIF, GST rebate and C & R Levy.

The point being that the rec centres, libraries (or at least most of them or at a much different scale) could not go forward without the tax room. $420 million over the next ten years the City did not have access to otherwise for this kind of community infrastructure.
