I could tell you all sorts of things.
When a government plays the role of unifier, catalyst and investor, the goal is to try to present a new image of a government that won't intervene, but will work with the private sector and other stakeholders to consolidate everybody's skills. The goal is to work together to mobilize our society and achieve important goals. The first thing would be to propose very high and very ambitious performance targets, and also to bring people together to try to achieve these goals.
I want to go back to our discussion on infrastructure funding. At the same time, I can answer Mr. Deltell's question on the investment bank.
We suggest that the government's financial involvement in an infrastructure funding project be treated as an investment. I'll give you an example. In Montreal, the Caisse is currently planning a new public transit system. At this time, we're negotiating with the Quebec government and the Canadian government to determine how they could participate in the project.
The goal isn't to ask them for a subsidy, but for an investment that will generate a return for both levels of government. It's another way of viewing the government's involvement. A government won't always be able to play an investor role. That's not realistic. Also, in a number of cases, such as the infrastructure funding case, there will be chances to change our way of thinking about this issue.
That's why we're focusing on the idea of a government investor. An investment isn't always just the idea of something in financial terms. For example, if a government facilitates the development of a skills lab, it's an investment in the skills of our workforce to encourage more labour market participation. It's an investment that will generate a return. In this case, the return is a social return, and, indirectly, a significant economic return. It's an example of the government's role as an investor in the development of our human resources. That's why we're creating this idea of an investor.
