Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to clarify one point with the witnesses. We are not at all opposed to P3s. On the contrary, we are trying to study all possible options.
However, I do not like it when most of the witnesses who come here and talk about P3s tend to embellish everything and, as Mr. Lee said a little earlier, to project a bright shinny image. That irritates me because it really makes no sense.
P3s are not applicable to everything. Mr. Légaré, earlier you mentioned certain projects, such as the Highway 25 project, that are not successes and that were poorly planned.
This is our last day on P3s. What often comes to my mind in hearing all the witnesses is that there are incongruities and paradoxes. I hear comments that are questionable. Mismanagement is attributed to the government. They say, in short, that it is irresponsible in the way it does things and that those responsibilities should be transferred to the private sector. However, at the same time, we also have the Charbonneau commission, which is shedding light on the intentions of private companies with conventional contracts. So we have some serious questions.
Before moving on to the rest of the topics, my first question concerns your NPO. I find this interesting. Why did you choose to establish an NPO and not a private company?
