It's along the same lines, Mr. Chair. It's on the same page.
Proposed section 7 deals with the functions of the bank. Paragraphs 7(1)(a) to 7(1)(h) list what the bank can do and what it can invest in.
The amendment would add the following paragraph after line 11 on page 239, in other words, after proposed subsection 7(2):
(3) The Bank may invest in an infrastructure project respecting new or existing infrastructure only if no new fee, charge, levy or other amount will be charged for the use of the infrastructure.
Once again, the purpose of the amendment is to stop the proliferation of tolls in Canada through the infrastructure bank. We are trying to prevent the Liberals' oft-repeated wish for more tolls from coming true with the help of the bank. Tolls are a bad thing and, in most cases, hurt the middle class. It's unacceptable for people using the same road to get to work every day to have to pay for using the road. My amendment would prevent the infrastructure bank from investing in projects that would impose new fees or charges for the use of the infrastructure.
I would like a recorded division.
