Amid conflicting messaging and questions surrounding the agreed-upon revenue sharing between Canada and the U.S., details of the deal to open the Gordie Howe International Bridge were released late Tuesday.
Contrary to what Carney claimed, interest and debt repayment are not considered in net profit.
That’s all very textbook, but in this case you are wrong. Canada will pay the interest and debt repayment with their part of net profit. Read the terms.
Again, such silliness. Carney is a banker. He knows how to word contracts. All revenue collected comes to Canada, then Canada sends a check. Canada sets the terms of the ‘refund’ check.
Economic Participation: Canada will provide annual economic participation payments, outside the 2012 Canada–Michigan Crossing Agreement equal to fifty percent (50%) of net bridge and crossing related revenues for the first fifteen (15) fiscal years of bridge operations.
Net bridge and crossing related revenues is all revenues collected with respect to the bridge, less all incurred operating costs of the bridge.
Such payments shall be made to a United States-Canada Economic Development Fund, established and solely controlled by the Government of the United States.
That’s all very textbook, but in this case you are wrong. Canada will pay the interest and debt repayment with their part of net profit. Read the terms.
Again, such silliness. Carney is a banker. He knows how to word contracts. All revenue collected comes to Canada, then Canada sends a check. Canada sets the terms of the ‘refund’ check.
So naive. Get informed. Carney folded.
Not how this reads in section 1 https://gordiehoweinternationalbridge.com/proposed-agreement-in-principle/
That was the original (fair) deal that Trump killed.
