You're right that not all infrastructure is the same. The term I think I used on Sunday was “targeted growth-enabling infrastructure”. Even that I suppose is a bit vague. The filter that one would want to put on this would be, “Here's my infrastructure proposal.” “Okay, tell me, then, how that would be growth enabling for the economy.”
I hear people sort of saying, “Well, if it's just a bunch of roads...”. They dismiss roads. Well, I'm remembering the project to twin the road to the main border in New Brunswick, which made an enormous difference to seafood producers supplying northeastern United States restaurants. They were able to promise much faster, fresher delivery. We actually saw the impact of that on exports.
