This project is being compared to others that have already been announced and for which it is easy to find a proponent. I am thinking, for example, of mining projects or nuclear power plants that are located in very specific places. We cannot compare them to a project that spans several hundred kilometres and involves a number of different players. It is hard to find a single private investor who will take on a project of national scope.
What we see is that a lot of private investment comes from more than a single stakeholder. For example, at the port, we work with local private sector terminal operators as well as various other investors. When it comes to the railway, railway companies will obviously have a role to play. I spoke earlier about indigenous communities, which are currently the proponents of part of the project and will also be stakeholders. There are also the mining companies, which will be paying users of this site and will contribute to the project.
So there is not one single private investor, but several, and they will have to work together. Governments will also have to play a unifying role to ensure that a corridor as strategic as this one can be created, organized and funded. There is a certain level of risk associated with this project, and it will require a more complex financial structure than if there were only a single investor.
