In his opinion, this particular type of P3 project may well rival the importance of transportation infrastruc- ture in the near future as the means of connecting com- munities. "Laying fibre should be part of every infra- structure project – P3 or not," he says. "High-speed connectivity should be considered a necessity in this age of remote learning, health care and commerce and is a hugely important factor in attracting top talent, a priority all communities share." LEXPERT-RANKED LAWYERS "If you want to develop these natural [resource] assets and move goods around the country to have the economy grow you've got to build a ton of infrastructure and, moreover, it has to work in the winter." - Brian Kelsall, Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP PHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK
