Implications of P3 Arrangements for Ontario Healthcare Infrastructure Procurement

Research Paper by Tyne Gatten (April 2016) for upper year Windsor Law seminar course: Private Property and the Public Interest.

The focus of this paper is on the use of P3s in relation to the procurement of healthcare infrastructure in the Province of Ontario.
