“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from the transport and infrastructure committee for his excellent speech. As we have mentioned in committee, and as he has mentioned many times in committee, we are pointing out the lack of transparency with the Canada Infrastructure Bank, the many connections to Liberal insiders that seem to be at play and, of course, the very favourable terms that are given to projects of those insiders. Does he worry that, with the sovereign debt fund, we are going down that exact same road? Can he elaborate more on that?”

Mr. Speaker, Reasoning · 51 wordswhat worries me the most is that the economy is looking more and more like a command economy, where the government picks which economic projects it will invest in.I would argue that the role of government is to create conditions conducive to business and deliver government services to the people.Positioning · 5 wordsI find this very troubling, PositioningReasoning · 56 wordsbecause the government is going to take on the risks associated with investments and projects, when those risks would normally be on the private sector.Lastly, this is being done with the money of ordinary people, who need that money to get public services and who hope they will not have to pay for their grandchildren.
