I think one of its primary goals could be to lower borrowing costs, although Matti is certainly right that there are provincial authorities that do that to some degree already. I think one of the real downsides is that if its goal is not to reduce borrowing costs, it could in fact substantially increase borrowing costs and other long-term costs in terms of user fees or for the municipalities that are the end-users of these infrastructure assets.
