The Federal Government. It's really fun talking to Greg Melchin about how all his happened.

More background here:

This was the P3 Canada Mandate (before it was deleted mid-press conference) - one of the 16 categories of eligible projects - as given to P3 Canada by the Federal Government in all their guiding documents. Interestingly, for weeks all their material still said 16 eligible categories even though there were all the sudden only 15.
