We certainly do. It wasn't directly in our submission, but certainly we agree with our colleagues in CUPE that the Infrastructure Bank ought to be funded with public money, for the same reasons my colleague Angella just enunciated. We believe public financing is cheaper than private financing. We believe the outward costs to the taxpayer are more transparent than the costs are with private financing, and we believe the ability to be transparent and accountable about the infrastructure being built is far more available than it would be with private financing.
