Mr. Jean was generalizing. Perhaps that is not the case at the federal level, but in Quebec, there have been cost overruns in P3 projects. There have also been projects that took longer than anticipated. So it is not accurate to say that all P3s are efficient and within budget. Actually, it appears that taxpayers have to pay more. The fact is that there are cost overruns. When the auditing responsibility goes to the private sector, the follow-up is not as appropriate as if it were done by the public sector.
There is no need to go into ideology and say that everything should be done under P3s, as Mr. Jean said.
