“This important hospital facility delivers healthcare services to the Montreal community and the broader Province of Québec.
“Our strategy is to remain disciplined and selective in our approach to acquisition opportunities by only investing in availability-based assets that also align with our ESG principles, and not in higher risk infrastructure asset classes.”
