I'd like to weigh in here.
The P3 option in those circumstances gives you the opportunity, as the public sector, to insist upon a certain quality standard of that asset all during its 35 years, and upon the standard of quality at its turn-back.
Mr. Wallace has said that one of the things that hamstrings governments is that “a long time” is the time of the next election. When the private sector is involved in managing an asset, it's not hamstrung by that. It has a 35-year asset that it must manage and turn over with a certain standard of quality.
I would not want anybody here to think that the reason we've seen neglect in our public infrastructure is poor private sector management. Come on, people.
