Working with government: A conversation with Canada Infrastructure Bank’s John Casola and the City of Saint John’s Mélanie Tompkins

Infrastructure projects are in the spotlight in Canada as an agent for economic recovery. This six-part webinar series features conversation between members from several of our practice areas and key industry stakeholders who share their latest insights and experiences from the Canadian ecosystem and explore what may lie ahead.

“More steering and less rowing”: more and more, Canadian governments appear to be embracing this credo in their approach to engaging with the private sector on infrastructure projects. Join us in conversation with special guests for a comprehensive exploration of the spectrum of approaches to government involvement, trends in governance, procurement, funding and financing models, and the challenges of navigating the intersection of the public and private spheres. Topics will include CIB’s recently announced $10 billion Growth Plan, and implementing major municipal projects in the context of constrained statutory powers.
