As Canada continues its commitment to infrastructure spending at the federal, provincial and municipal levels, business in the construction sector is in full bloom. Billions of dollars' worth of infrastructure projects are undergoing various stages of development across the country, spanning a wide range of public facilities and services. To understand how this level of project activity so crucial to our economy is organized and maintained, it is helpful to look at how the highly specialized fields of project finance and construction law come together to make it all happen.
We recently contributed the chapter on Canada in The Projects and Construction Review, an international resource guide to project financing and construction law published by Law Business Research, and we're happy to share it with our readers here. You'll find an overview on topics such as infrastructure spending in Canada, commonly used project finance models, and the increasing adoption of the public-private partnership (PPP) model as a procurement method for significant infrastructure projects. We also touch on related topic areas such as foreign investments, dispute resolution and socio-environmental issues before concluding with an outlook on project activity in 2015.
