I suppose if the P3 does not have exprop. powers the $$ will be greater for land costs, perhaps the governamnet will give the P3 an agency agreement with the gov to do exprops.

Why would the cost of property acquisition for a project constructed under a P3 agreement be greater than if the project was constructed directly by government?

Replying to:

In the Hansard Report of Oct. 30th, Judith Reid stated that the cost of expropriation under p3 agreements will be borne by the private sector. This could add a great deal to the cost of property purchases - how would or could the p3 partner(private sector) recover or plan for such costs?

Replying to:

Yes, know one does know what is going on... however it will probably be up to the parties to the P3 contract, as to how it is structured. If the contractor buys the land, as an agent of the crown, they will have a larger investment and therefore would sek a return on the investment, much like the return they seek on the capital project.

Not quite sure what is going on here - but the original question is interesting - does no one have the answer?

Replying to:

Yes, it is true - not sure what it would take to convince you but I really have no involvment whatsoever - just personal interest. If I have done anything to appear otherwise I apologize. I am not sure why you think I have a different purpose than personal knowledge but I can assure you I don't.

Replying to:

Yeah right.

Replying to:

I don't have a role - not involved in any aspect of expropriation - just an interest in it.

Replying to:

U seem to have alot of questions, what is your role?

Replying to:

In reference to P3s - whose money is used to purchase property - is it the governments or private sectors? Does the government maintain ownership and the private sector lease it or the other way around? Also P3 do not seem appropriate for all new construction - will the government still be doing some of these projects as they have in the past? If so,what percentage?
