Delta St. John's, Salon FG



TIME:

6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, November 14, 2018



PANELISTS:



  • Keith Reynolds, Policy Analyst with the Columbia Institute
  • Govind Rao, CUPE Research Representative, Atlantic Region
  • Allison Coffin, Economist, Memorial University


 

Moderated by journalist Drew Brown, contributor to CBC NL, The Guardian, The Independent, Vice Magazine, and others.

A more transparent and cost-effective approach to public procurement will ensure we can afford all the hospitals, highways, education, long term care and other public services we rely on.

Newfoundlanders and Labradorians should demand new disclosure requirements and reporting standards for P3 contracts. There should be no secrets when public money is spent on public infrastructure and services.
