Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Barton. Thank you first of all for your service to Canada, and through you to the other members of the council, my thanks for your constructive suggestions. I know these things will be debated avidly in Canada. I had the opportunity to hear you speak at the Public Policy Forum, and I know you've been beating the drum around the country and the world. So thank you for that.
My colleagues will have other questions on the infrastructure proposals. We know the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec has proposed a pretty sprawling public-transit project in Montreal that would connect the West Island and Laval and the South Shore.
Is it public transit, or some other sorts of investments, that would attract pension funds and other wealth that, as you say in your paper, is now parked on the sidelines or garnering negative returns? What kinds of projects would attract returns that would interest this kind of capital?
