Transport committee  Sorry, it took less time.

Transport committee  Sure. I think the majority of these P3 models in Canada are delivered on the basis of the various governments granting the private sector consortiums licences to the sites and the facility to carry out the scope of work for which they're responsible. Legal ownership of the land a

Transport committee  I would say, first, I am not an expert in broadband and it's not been a sector or project focus of Concert to date. Really, I think you would have to look to somebody with a little bit more experience in that sector to respond to that question.

Transport committee  Absolutely. I think the simple answer is yes, it's a good idea. It's about developing and advancing projects at an early stage such that at some point they're actually viable and can be implemented or become shovel-ready, and I think at this stage, there's probably a couple that

Transport committee  At this juncture, as I previously responded, I think in some respects it's a little unfair to make that assertion or come to that conclusion at this point in time. Many of the projects that they've announced or committed to are in the MOU or advisory phase. It's unclear whether,

Transport committee  I'm not sure it's an issue of uptake as much as it's an issue of the status or stage that these projects are in and how advanced the development of the projects are at this juncture.

Transport committee  Absolutely. Insofar as it's able to advance and deliver infrastructure projects or have these projects advance to the market and be built, it certainly will have an impact. It's about jobs. Obviously, how long these projects take to get to the point of shovels in the ground is

Transport committee  From my review—and it was a fairly detailed review over the last number of days preparing for the committee—I've seen no reference or mention that the mandate of the CIB is privatization.

Transport committee  Yes. Just to correct you, it was not schools in B.C., but two bundles of schools in Alberta and two bundles of schools in Saskatchewan. They were all publicly owned.

Transport committee  What I'm suggesting is that there are, on the face of it from my perspective, some commitments.... Or maybe more specifically, when you look at appendix I of their corporate plan, where they lay out the models they intend to invest in, they are clearly suggesting that they're goi

Transport committee  Quickly, if you're asking my personal opinion, I would advocate for trade and transportation, given its impact on the country's economy going forward.

Transport committee  I'm just trying to digest the question and put together a response. Certainly in terms of the projects I have been involved in, it has been key that the private sector has been responsible for the delivery, the construction, the financing and the building management of the infra

Transport committee  I'm not sure that it's a simple response that there's a certain class of projects for which it's not appropriate for the private sector to participate in. I think that was one of the reasons for the establishment of the CIB, to help support those projects that otherwise might not

Transport committee  How much have I personally made? I have personally made none, other than my salary.

Transport committee  As I alluded to in one of my recommendations, I think at the federal level it is around having an entity, an agency, mandated with the overall identification and coordination of major federal infrastructure projects. I think if you had that in place, that might generate significa
