As the project owner, Transport Canada provides strategic oversight while Alto, a new federal Crown corporation, leads development in partnership with the Private Developer Partner Cadence. The financial advisor will deliver independent, expert guidance to safeguard Canada’s interests and ensure the initiative achieves its core outcomes: increasing intercity rail ridership, enhancing passenger experience, delivering environmental benefits aligned with net zero goals, improving accessibility and affordability, ensuring safety, advancing reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, and minimizing taxpayer costs. The advisor will evaluate financial and commercial frameworks, advise on project agreements and investment decisions, assess risks and value for money, and support oversight of costs and benefits, while also contributing insights on broader economic opportunities and community impacts.

Strict security requirements mandate PROTECTED B document safeguarding and SECRET-level or RELIABILITY STATUS clearances for all personnel accessing sensitive information, with unescorted access prohibited. Key personnel substitutions require prior government approval, subcontracting requires written consent, and conflicts of interest—particularly with Alto—are strictly prohibited. The contractor must maintain records for seven years, comply with all applicable laws and certifications, and allow full audit rights over its operations and those of its subcontractors.
