Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. McBride, thank you for being here this morning.
I want to pick up on what you just said. It's in the best interest of Canadians to have a clear idea of how PPPs work. As the public administrators of taxpayer money, we have to make long-term decisions about infrastructure from time to time.
I think you did a good job when you started explaining the benefits of PPPs, pointing to how these relationships came about and giving examples. You also made it clear that some variables cannot be predicted, especially in the field of IT, which is constantly changing. People in the private sector may be better suited to managing risk under a partnership, as far as public infrastructure goes. I quite appreciate how you started explaining that to us. Could you kindly elaborate a bit more?
