“I want to know why we need a new investment fund for big projects when the Canada Infrastructure Bank already does that.”
“Mr. Speaker, I must say that I was rather impressed by the intensity of my colleague’s speech. It was very substantial. There was so much to it that I could not take it all in. I would like to hear more about the merits of creating a so-called sovereign wealth fund to fund major projects, when apparently the Canada Infrastructure Bank is already being used for that purpose. Why launch a new fund when we already have a tool that does the same thing?”
