In the face of growing public debt, fiscal constraints and a growing need to invest in public infrastructure, how can Canadian governments attract local and global pools of capital for investments into public assets, while preserving public value and interests?
Governments around the world are re-examining how to extract maximum value from their public assets in the wake of the current economic environment. Here in Canada, many governments are evaluating the trade-offs between public ownership and privatization of existing government assets.
Please join us as we present the latest paper from the Mowat Centre that outlines a new framework for public asset management and reinvestment – including focusing on the concept of “Asset Recycling” – as an innovative policy solution to protecting the public interest while maximizing revenue generation for public purposes.
The breakfast event will include an outline and review of the main findings presented by Michael Fenn followed by a moderated panel discussion.
