I would say that exactly. The lengthy process it takes to go through a P3, even on a simpler project, works against us. We can accomplish exactly the same thing using a design-build, which is a very efficient construction method that offers up the opportunity to have a compacted work schedule so that we can have other options in construction that will allow us to achieve the same purposes but without giving up control of the project to the private sector, or the eventual operations and maintenance, which must necessarily be integrated with other services that are provided.
Having the Canada Line operated by the private sector, while the rest of the SkyTrain system is run by a corporation that is part of TransLink seems to me to be a ludicrous waste of funds. It certainly puts the private sector partner in the middle of planning for a system that requires integration.
