The Canadian P3 Market

 Canada is viewed as a premier market for P3s by the private sector  Significant disparities in P3 adoption/market between jurisdictions  Provinces have been early adopters of P3s: • Large infrastructure requirements • • P3s regularly used in Transportation and Healthcare sectors Beginning to see critical mass of P3 projects in operation phase  Some municipalities are adopting P3 procurement policies: • Winnipeg • • Edmonton Calgary  Federal departments are beginning to look at P3s to procure their capital asset requirements 7

Recent Canadian P3s

 Projects in procurement show P3 model is expanding to new sectors:

Market Outlook

 Fundamentals driving Public Sector interest in P3s and growing pipeline: • • Aging infrastructure base in Canada needs replacement Fiscal constraints  Positive Private Sector receptivity to the model: • • Maturation of the project sponsor/consortia community Increasing investor interest in Infrastructure as asset class  Credit markets have been turbulent but appear to be coming back • • Credit spreads are coming down from Fall 08 peak of around 400bp but costs have not reached pre-crisis levels, impacting value for money Increased sensitivity to risk turned attention to substantial completion payments, wide equity etc. to reduce risk, challenging project affordability  Successful projects are building public confidence in the model but there are still challenges 9

Annex I:

What Kinds of Projects Make Good P3s?

Four fundamentals to look for:     Is it public infrastructure?

Size: $45 million+ capital asset NEW construction (usually) A departure from the government’s core competencies Types of infrastructure:    New accommodations/real property (e.g. LEED office complex, specialized facilities like prisons/labs) Major transportation projects (e.g. Confederation Bridge, Hwy 407) Other infrastructure projects, when specific performance output requirements can be identified 16

Annex II:

Success features of P3 Projects

Plan

 The project is suitable for a P3 approach and is outside political interference    A clear and confirmed vision, guiding principles, needs and objectives All viable options explored and examined whether or not they lead to a P3 The Project must be

Biddable

 

Procure

 A procurement plan that draws on industry-based lessons learned and best practices Opportunity to introduce innovation throughout the project life-cycle Checks and balances to ensure the viability and deliverability of the P3 solution  The Project must be

Bankable

 

Perform

17

Annex III:

Financial Requirements

 An identifiable revenue stream source is required for P3s to support availability payments  The long term availability payments can be required up to 20 years depending on the P3 project  Sound financial track record will be important to private partners 18

Annex IV:

Private Sector Partners

  Foreign firms were initial sponsors of early Canadian P3 Projects and several have established Canadian Subsidiaries: • • • • • Bilfinger Berger (Germany) Carillion (UK) Plenary (Australia) Babcock & Brown (Australia) Acciona (Spain) Canadian headquartered firms are starting to enter the P3 sector as Project Sponsors, including: • • • Forum Equity Partners Fengate Capital Management Ellis Don   Foreign lenders still dominate the debt financing of P3 projects but the big 5 Canadian banks are getting in the game Canadian construction firms are key partners in the project consortia  Private sector concerned with lack of standardized processes and documentation, which makes bidding costly and adds to bidding risk 19
