The actual title of this study is how competition can make infrastructure dollars go further. I want to come back to the title of the study and suggest that if we create a system in which the only way that a project can get built is if it's P3 with operations and whatnot at the end, we've actually lessened competition. This is because we no longer have available to us, in terms of the design and build of the operation, the full range of potential partners, because that's what they are in the private sector, who could build it.
We are actually reducing competition by creating this mythological beast called the P3 that will design-build-operate-maintain. The operate and maintain may not be something that is able to be done by all of the potential partners. Is that in fact reducing competition and making things more expensive?
