Title

Phil Brown for Nepean-Carleton in 2004

Description

Phil has more than 20 years of private sector experience developing non-profit housing and facilities for public institutions and community and health service agencies in Ottawa and Northern Ontario. A professional planner and licensed real estate sales representative, he has also been an active volunteer with health and social service agencies since coming to Ottawa in 1987. Phil presently serves as Treasurer of Rideauwood Addictions and Family Services and is a member of the Health and Social Services Advisory Committee of the City of Ottawa. Phil has also volunteered on the stage crew at Nepean Centrepointe Theatre and served on the Nepean Committee of Adjustment and Property Standards Committee and on the Boards of Directors of Somerset West Community Health Centre and West End Legal Services.

Thanks to his knowledge of the development industry and his experience in real estate, he has been able to become an articulate and credible advocate for public and community ownership, and an aggressive opponent of privatization. Last spring, he participated in a formal debate against Walter Robinson of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation where, drawing on his extensive experience helping agencies to acquire or develop their own facilities, he made the case that private ownership of public facilities simply does not make any economic sense!
