PPP Canada has managed many projects that have successfully engaged the private sector. One thing that we are unable to do under the PPP Canada arrangement is to take an equity stake in projects. That's why the creation of the bank is necessary, to take it to the next stage where more private sector capital can be mobilized to build more infrastructure that cannot be built in traditional ways or that ties up money from the government that can be used for building more housing, for example, or that could be used for building more shelters for women fleeing domestic violence or building more public transit that is necessary in our communities.
At the end of the day, our government is focused on people. We want to enable people to succeed. We want people to have a quality of life that they can enjoy and they can feel that they are part of the community. Building all types of infrastructure that enables people to succeed both economically and socially is the goal. Whether we do that through private capital or a traditional way of funding projects, we believe that the bank will take us to the next stage and build on the success of P3s.
