Sure. There could be a scenario in which, for example, a prospective buyer believes that the discount rate, the value it attaches to flows of money in the future, is higher than what CDEV, the Crown corporation that currently owns the pipeline, puts on these future flows. CDEV discounts these future flows at a rate of 8%. A prospective buyer could say, “No, it's too high. We think that a dollar next year is not to be discounted by 8% but by 6% or 5%”, and then that would increase the value that a buyer attaches to buying the pipeline.
Similarly, there could be buyers with lower costs of capital. We can think about Crown corporations or state entities from other countries that decide to buy. If they can't finance themselves at very low rates, they could say it's worth buying because their cost of capital is quite low.
These are two examples of factors that could make such a sale profitable for the Government of Canada.
