A2: Perm Do CP (PPP)




2NC A2 Perm do CP (PPP)

They sever “federal government” – Government investment excludes private corporations


Chris Chan, part of the Productivity Commission, the Australian Government’s independent research ¶ and advisory body on a range of economic, social and environmental issues affecting ¶ the welfare of Australians, et al., ¶ Danny Forwood¶ Heather Roper¶ Chris Sayers, 3-09, [“Public Infrastructure ¶ Financing:¶ An International Perspective,” Commonwealth of Australia , http://ssrn.com/abstract=1565073] E. Liu

General government investment (which excludes public corporations) as a ¶ proportion of GDP has fallen in most countries over the past four decades. In ¶ Australia it stood at 2.4 per cent of GDP in 2005-06. This could reflect the ¶ pattern of corporatisation of GTEs as well as privatisation over the period.



Severance bad

  1. Illegitimate - the plan is a non-moving target in the debate. If the aff could sever parts of its plan in response to a disad or counterplan, the negative could never win.

  2. It violates the word resolved - perms are possible but allowing the plan to be changed means that it doesn’t meet the burdens imposed by the word “resolved” which means “to make a firm decision.”




PPP isn’t just giving a company money – It’s a rigorous review of feasibility


Michael J. Garvin, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Myers-Lawson School of Construction, 4-10, [“Enabling Development of the Transportation Public-Private¶ Partnership Market in the United States,” Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, Vol. 136, No. 4, April 2010, pp. 402-411, cedb.asce.org/cgi/WWWdisplay.cgi?260835] E.

Infrastructure Public-Private Partnerships Are Principally¶ Financial Arrangements¶ When the city of Chicago received nearly $2 billion for its Chicago¶ Skyway in 2004, many saw a solution to public sector or¶ infrastructure funding gaps. The lease or concession of certain¶ infrastructure assets in exchange for upfront payments could provide¶ the capital needed to fund other public requirements or infrastructure¶ projects. This furthered the perspective of¶ infrastructure as financial assets rather than fixed assets. Certainly,¶ this notion is not entirely new, but this deal and similar¶ subsequent ones helped push the financial arrangements of PPPs¶ to the forefront.¶ Our international counterparts have matured beyond this perspective.¶ Unquestionably, the financial considerations for any PPP¶ are paramount. However, PPP arrangements, particularly in the¶ most mature markets, are not just financial transactions; rather,¶ they are the selected project delivery strategy based upon a value¶ for money VfM or feasibility analysis. For instance, the policy¶ in Victoria, Australia regarding any potential infrastructure project¶ is that budgetary funds must be available to support it in order for¶ it to be considered for inclusion in a capital program. If the potential¶ project has the attributes necessary for a PPP, then it will¶ be evaluated through Victoria’s VfM guidelines Partnerships Victoria¶ 2001. Only if the project demonstrates VfM as a PPP will it¶ proceed that way. Otherwise, Victoria’s provincial budgetary¶ funds will be used to finance its conventional delivery. In Spain,¶ the philosophy is slightly different. If the public sector’s feasibility¶ analysis indicates that a PPP approach is viable, then infrastructure¶ is typically delivered by PPPs. In either case, though, the¶ government employs a systematic methodology to determine that¶ a PPP arrangement is the preferred method of delivery.



A2 Perm do CP (PPP)

The permutation is severance because the normal means of the idea of “federal government investment” means the exclusion of corporations – that means USE of private companies is not included in the aff and the counterplan is therefore competitive – that’s Chan.

And, the counterplan is also competitive because it’s not a financial transaction – the act of PPP involves feasibility analysis and selective project accountability which is different than the plan action of just giving the private sector money. This is fundamentally different from using the aff to fund private sector projects – that’s Garvin.


PPP Avoids Taxes

Partnership financing removes the need to leverage new taxes


Gordon Rausser, Robert Gordon Sproul Distinguished Professor, University of California,¶ Berkeley¶ and Reid Steven, Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, University of California,¶ Berkeley, 5-21-09, [“Public-Private Partnerships:¶ Goods and the Structure of¶ Contracts,” ¶ Robert Gordon Sproul Distinguished Professor, University of California, Annu. Rev. Resour. Econ. 2009. 1:75–97, http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.resource.050708.144233] E. Liu

¶ Infrastructure development projects carry significant risk as they require large capital¶ investments over a long time period to construct, operate, and maintain assets. Traditional-¶ ly, infrastructure development was pursued only by the public sector because many of the¶ projects (bridges, roads, telecommunications, railroads, energy, etc.) dealt with natural¶ resources and produced impure public goods. But as infrastructure development has grown¶ increasingly complex and expensive, governments have looked to improve efficiency byusing private sector expertise and financing through PPPs (Engel et al. 1997; Ramamurti¶ 1997; Estache et al. 2000, 2007). PPPs also allow the government to avoid levying distor-¶ tionary taxes by tapping private sector funding, which can be repaid by user fees generated¶ by the partnership. PPPs can also reduce the public sector’s financial risk in both the¶ cost of the project and the future revenue streams, and some public agencies argue that this¶ risk transfer is the primary benefit flowing from the use of financing by PPPs.
