Why are Governments Exploring P3s? • Concerns with conventional delivery models • Cost and schedule overruns • Disappointment with the performance of the asset • Concerns over lifecycle costs of the asset • Growing demand for infrastructure • Factor driving interest in exploring alternative delivery models is the demand for significant infrastructure investment • Limited capacity of the public sector • Insufficient capacity and expertise within the public sector to deliver the volume of infrastructure that is needed • The private sector has proven itself willing and very capable of providing the necessary expertise and resources • Capacity of the domestic private sector • Limits to the capacity of the private sector to meet the marketplace demand
Benefits Sought from P3s • Benefitting from Private Sector Experience, Expertise, Innovation and Efficiencies • In designing, constructing and financing the facility to optimize maintenance and operation • In maintaining and operating the asset for 25 - 35 or more years
Benefits Sought from P3s • Risk Transfer • Transfer risk of cost and schedule overruns, asset performance, maintenance, and operation • Risks which could result in higher future costs to taxpayers are transferred • Recognition of limitations: owner cannot transfer uninsurable risks or risks over which the design professionals have no control
Benefits Sought from P3s • Financial • Costs savings in efficiencies/innovations from the private sector • Public money does not begin to flow until the asset is fully operational • Asset to is well-maintained and efficiently operated at the lowest cost possible • Time may be saved in the construction process through innovation and efficiency and incentive of revenue beginning to flow
Impact of P3s on Government Cash Flows • Traditional Procurement • Large initial capital expenditure during construction phase • Maintenance and operating expenditures • Variable costs
Impact of P3s on Government Cash Flows • P3 Model: Payments Deferred • Potentially no payments during the design, finance and construction phases • Predictable stream of “availability payments” over the life of the concession • Only pay when performance is being met
Canada: Global P3 Infrastructure Leader • Canada has a strong global track record in the P3 market • Between 1998 and 2008, more than 75 P3 projects (worth CAD$24.8 billion) were signed in Canada at both the provincial and municipal levels
