Episode 30 Part 1: “Is this the first Infrastructure Investor Prime Minister?”

In this episode of Talking Global Infrastructure, Claire McWatt from the Global Infrastructure Investor Association is joined by Dan Moulton, Partner at Crestview Strategy, for a wide-ranging discussion on the future of infrastructure in Canada following the recent federal election. They unpack the political landscape and what the results mean for private capital, including insights on the emerging roles of key Ministers, and the potential influence of Mark Carney’s first foray to Canadian public office. With a focus on national priorities, Claire and Dan explore sector-specific developments across airports, ports, digital infrastructure, and energy transmission, and assess how shifting federal attitudes might affect the pipeline of P3 projects. Tune in for practical insights on navigating provincial dynamics, evolving federal policies, and the delicate balance Canada must strike between attracting foreign capital and protecting critical infrastructure. This is the first in a two-part series on major elections in Canada and Australia, featuring insights from on the ground with GIIA members, Crestview Strategy. Look out for Part 2 in June.
