I can't say I am a big fan of public-private-partnerships (3P). It shoulds good but you have two types of entities (Government and for-profit Company) that have different objectives. They are fraught with risk.

The 407 outsourcing in Ontario has been a disaster. Selling off Canadian airports, that has been discussed, would likewise be a disaster.

I applaud the government for thinking outside of the box but before we invest billions in this bank we need more information about what value to taxpayers it may bring and what risks there are.
