During the process of selling the house, their analysis, thoughts and recommendations were consistently accurate, timely and unfailingly correct.

  • Business Plan
    2009 BUSINESS PLAN Business Plan INTRODUCTION In view of current economic circumstances and the international financial crisis, Montréal’s 2009 Budget has been prepared so as to preserve and develop the ability of Montrealers to pay. At this time of uncertainty, it has become increasingly important to maintain a steady course and persevere in achieving Montréal’s ambitious goals. It is in this spirit that the 2009 Budget proposes efforts based on the following three major commitments: making living environments safer and more satisfying, asserting Montréal’s leadership as a metropolis and providing residents with an effective administration to meet their needs. The city will, accordingly, step up the pace of its investment in infrastructure even beyond what had been planned, while substantially boosting contributions to the Investment Fund for carrying out major economic development projects. Furthermore, because of the city’s ability to manage its public finances in a prudent and responsible manner, it has, for the fourth year in a row, kept its promise to freeze the general tax burden. Furthermore, since our review of programs and activities has generated recurring savings of $300 million, the city can roll out major development programs, while posting some of the lowest budget growth of any major Canadian city in the past five years. It is due to such efforts to save, coupled with prudent management of debt and major infrastructural investments, that Moody’s awarded Montréal an Aa2 rating—the highest in its history. Montréal’s core actions focus on improving the quality of life for its families as well as in supporting sustainable development, an area in which has it made record investments for public transit and active transportation.
