Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Minister, I would like to go back to the Canada Infrastructure Bank and ask you what you think about its creation.
Let us remember that the Advisory Council on Economic Growth advised the Minister of Finance to create the bank. Let me give you the names of three people who advised the minister to establish the bank: Dominic Barton, from McKinsey & Company, who over the past five years, made his living by promoting fundraising of private capital through public investment; Michael Sabia, from the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec—which I mentioned earlier; and Mark Wiseman—a rather appropriate name—director of the BlackRock management, the largest investment firm in the world that manages about $5 trillion.
Isn't there an appearance of conflict of interest when those advising the minister to set up a bank are the same ones who will make a profit from it? Can taxpayers believe that the bank will make it possible to obtain the best value for the construction or update of the anticipated infrastructure?
