P3s can address infrastructure deficit in indigenous communities: PhilpottANGELA GISMONDIStaff Writer

Basic infrastructure needs that most Canadians take for granted are missing in far too many indigenous communities and public-private partnerships (P3)

can help fulfil those needs, said Jane Philpott, Canada’s first minister of indigenous services.

“What most of us consider essential for our quality of life is absent from the daily reality for thousands of Cana-dians,” said Philpott to a group of delegates in her opening keynote address during the Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships 25th annual conference held in Toron-to Nov. 6 and 7.

“Waiting for a more convenient time for us to address these (infrastructure) gaps is not an option. I’m here today to talk about my role in this and to challenge you to find yours.”

Philpott emphasized the challenges facing First Nations communities, stating it has been estimated the infrastruc-ture deficit alone may be as high as $30 to $40 billion.

“I hope you will see the potential for P3s in indigenous communities. I don’t need to convince anyone in this audi-ence of the success of the model,” she said.

“The P3 model is a great tool for building schools and developing water and wastewater facilities, all-season roads, broadband connectivity and energy infrastructure.”

While there has been some progress on critical infra-structure being built in indigenous communities, there is still a lot more to do, Philpott noted, adding the minis-try has provided funding for water projects, lifting long-term drinking water advisories and building housing and schools in indigenous communities.

“Where I particularly see the potential for P3s to have an impact in indigenous communities is through the fantastic ability to bring design innovation, to address risk transfer and the full costing of assets including the very important role of operations and maintenance,” Philpott explained.

She also discussed some early P3 project success stories in indigenous communities including the Tlicho all-season road in the Northwest Territories.

“It’s going to connect the community, allow for increased economic development and reduce the tremendous cost of transporting goods and services in and out of Whati (First Nations Community),” Philpott noted.

She encouraged leaders in the room to be part of the solution in addressing infrastructure gaps with P3s.

“Some of you will view your role in P3s and addressing infrastructure gaps for indigenous people as a matter of corporate social responsibility. Others may view it from the perspective of enlightened self-interest. Either way, I hope you have figured out that it is smart to invest in indigenous infrastructure, communities and people,” stat-ed Philpott.

She suggested a few steps to get started.“Learn more about these successful projects in indig-

enous communities and consider partnering with indig-enous communities in ways that benefit both parties, creating opportunities for yourselves along with jobs and economic growth for communities,” said Philpott.

“Consider policies you can implement now around hir-ing indigenous employees in your company. Explore some of these models to finance, design, build, operate and maintain infrastructure in indigenous communities.

“If there are any additional steps that our government can take to unleash the potential of P3s in this space, please let us know.”

The Construction Record, Canada’s only regularly run-ning construction industry

podcast, spoke to public-private partnership experts in the lead-up to the 25th annual CCPPP National Conference on Public-Private Partnerships.

Shared here are some high-lights from a recent podcast chat The Construction Record had with Mark Romoff, Canadian Council for Public-Private Part-nerships CEO and president.

The Daily Commercial News and the Journal of Commerce, Canada’s two longest-standing construction industry publica-tions, are the creators of The Construction Record which is available on iTunes, Google Play and at www.dcnonl.com and www.joconl.com.

What do you think about the P3 model and how it is now and where it is headed?

P3s have been around a long time in Canada, in fact the model that is in play today has evolved considerably in the last 25 years. Both the model itself and leaders across Canada have matured in their own view in the importance of investing in infrastructure and ways in which they can procure infrastructure which will get them very best outcomes.

Today, what we are finding is

that there is very much a focus in communities across Canada in getting smarter, more innovative and modern in their approaches to investing in infrastructure and delivering public services.

What are your thoughts on the appeal of the conference, not just in Canada but also internationally?

The nature of the program and the people attending has become more and more interna-tional every year. That is the case in spades this year. We will have people from 25 countries from

around the world. Obviously there will be a big delegation from Canada and large numbers from the U.S., U.K., Australia and also from countries you might not think of being interested in this approach (P3) such as sev-eral countries from the Gulf and a large delegation from Uganda.

The conference has been quite a meeting place for the movers and shakers and those hoping to become movers and shakers in the P3 and infrastructure community — that is really wonderful.

The Gold Award for Service Delivery Canada Line

The Canada Line P3 Rapid Transit project in Vancouver “continues to be a superlative success story after eight years of operation,” stated the CCPPP Awards Committee. Initially delivered ahead of schedule and on budget for the 2010 Olympics, its usage level is far ahead of expectations, system service delivery performance meets and exceeds requirements and it has been a major catalyst of economic activity in the region.

Gold Award for InfrastructureIqaluit International Airport

The CCPPP Awards Committee noted this project is “an outstanding demonstration of how vital infrastructure in Northern Canada can be successfully delivered in public-private partnership.” The awards committee lauded the extensive and effective community engagement and the resulting incorporation of unique local considerations in the planning, design, construction and operations of this airport facility, including the reflection of cultural values.“The Iqaluit International Airport Project has excelled due to the hard work and dedication of the project team. We are honoured by this recognition. The partnership between ourselves and the Government of Nunavut has enabled us to deliver this complicated infrastructure project on-time and on budget,” said John Wood, Arctic Infrastructure Limited Partnership CEO.

Silver Award for InfrastructureCalgary Composting Facility

In addition to being the first such facility to be delivered under the P3 model in Canada, the Calgary Composting Facility is also the largest of its kind in North America. The CCPPP Awards Committee noted, “The DBFOM (Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Maintain) delivery model and solution adopted is directly relevant to many Canadian municipalities seeking environmentally friendly and sustainable treatment of food and yard waste while reducing pressure on landfill facilities.”“This project demonstrated to the private and public sectors that the P3 model can be applied successfully to environmental infrastructure projects resulting in a facility that will benefit the City of Calgary and the community at large for their current requirements as well as allowing for future growth and expansion,” said Harold Reinders, Chinook Management General Partnership.

Silver Award for Project DevelopmentThe Centre for Addiction and Mental Health

The CCPPP Awards Committee noted that the Toronto CAMH project excelled in its extensive plans to integrate new buildings with the surrounding community to create a more inclusive environment. In addition, the committee members noted “the project required an enhanced contractual and risk allocation structure as a result of directly interfacing with existing CAMH facilities and with a P3 Project Company involved with an earlier phase of development.”

Silver Award for Project DevelopmentCity of Saint John, N.B., Safe, Clean Drinking Water Project

The CCPPP Awards Committee said the City of Saint John, N.B., Safe, Clean Drinking Water Project is a perfect example of applying a P3 procurement model to allow municipal governments to replace aging critical water infrastructure in their cities and towns in a more timely, integrated and comprehensive manner. The committee took particular note of “the approach that Saint John took with this project to customize P3 concepts to address complex greenfield and brownfield developments that other municipalities can use as a model to modernize water treatment and distribution systems to ensure they deliver a safe and quality product to their citizens.”
