It went further announcing that all applications to the New Building Canada Fund will be subject to a P3 screen if eligible costs are estimated at $ 100 million or more . These announcements underscore the federal government ’ s commitment to ensuring maximum value through the effective use of P3s and will no doubt have an impact on the number of projects brought to the market moving forward .
PPP Canada remains in a unique position to help formalize best practices and push for greater transparency with respect to P3 projects and the Value for Money they generate so we can continue to lead by example .
