CCPPP Focus Session on the Current Credit Condition

Achieving an Efficient Market in Canadian PPP during a Time of Credit Uncertainty

Tuesday, April 21, 2009
Hyatt Regency Toronto, 370 King Street West

CCPPP assembled a group of sponsors, lenders and arrangers to discuss the current state of the PPP market and their thoughts on the ability of the market to meet the capacity both for equity and debt commitments.

In addition to examining the impact that global upheavals in the markets have had in general, the panel was asked to focus this discussion on the PPP market and what it means in terms of the future of PPP in Canada from an industry perspective. Finally, the panel provided their opinions on the achievement of an efficient market - what recommendations can they make to the government organizations procuring these projects?

This moderated discussion was led by Tim Philpotts, Senior Vice President, Leader Infrastructure Advisory, Ernst & Young Orenda Corporate Finance Inc. and Director, CCPPP.
