Sounds like the new entity would do all of the above. Which makes sense. If they’re builders willing to build what the government wants, they’ll gett the money. But the government won’t wait for such developers to volunteer. Instead it’ll start the development itself, perhaps hiring developers to execute the actual building.

That’s what I’m afraid of: Canadian transit has suffered due to that kind of public/private partnership.
Whatever arrangement the new crown corporation arrives at, I hope they’re able to keep costs down.
