Infrastructure Infrastructure

From roads, railways and airports to public transit, utilities, hospitals and safe drinking water, the infrastructure sector plays a critical role in the functioning of Canadian society and is vital to the broader economic health of the country.

As the need for new and replacement municipal, provincial and federal infrastructure intensifies, the public and private partnership (P3) model is being used more frequently. Public and private infrastructure projects, including P3s and alternative financing and procurement (AFP) structures, are key drivers in the continued growth of the nation’s economy.

These projects are often complex, with lengthy lifecycles and the potential for myriad setbacks.
