Although countries all over the world - the U.K., Australia, Europe, U.S. - have actively and effectively enlisted the aid of private partners to help bridge their infrastructure gap problem, the Canadian approach has been ad hoc under an inconsistent political appetite. This has left an infrastructure landscaped marked with only a spattering of P3s that most commonly fall under the scope of big-ticket transportation ventures - like the Confederation Bridge in P.E.I., the Fredericton-Moncton highway in New Brunswick along with projects currently getting underway like the Sea-to-Sky highway in British Columbia. In order for P3s to be applied effectively and broadly in the infrastructure equation, Canada needs to develop a cohesive plan with defined policies. The failure to do so only serves to stunt the development of a competitive P3 market, which in turn could lead to their inappropriate and ineffective use.
