Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for their presentations and their participation today.
My question is for the transport officials.
In January 2022, you held a national supply chain summit. A number of participants identified the need to stimulate public-private funding and investments in critical infrastructure and a need for policy coherence across government, particularly as it looks to exploit new opportunities like advanced batteries, but also in the context of promoting new innovations to decarbonize transportation, such as green shipping corridors. It's worth noting that those public-private partnerships, or P3s, were making headlines 20 years ago.
We know that P3s had some pretty negative consequences in the past. They were popular in Quebec in the 2000s, but a few years later, everyone was uncomfortable with the model. People deeply regretted the decision to take that route. Could you tell me, then, whether any public-private partnerships are under way or being considered?
