Yes, I have a few thoughts on this.
First of all, I welcome your question. I agree with you: I think the private sector plays a huge role. Most of the critical infrastructure in the country is owned and developed by the private sector, of course, so I certainly agree. In fact, a lot of the discussion on infrastructure right now is about maybe developing some sort of public bureaucracy around infrastructure, and I would caution you that this in fact could be an innovation killer. If we're talking about this being urgent, this could really slow it down, so I would say to be careful.
However, when you talk to a lot of industry about what makes for a successful infrastructure project, they will often say that they need the details a bit more specifically on a project basis, and the government needs to get out of the way at a certain point so they can get the project done without a lot of interference in order for them to meet their timelines.
I think the government can play a role in terms of bringing different players together and having that visionary piece and the regional approach. That's very hard for private industry to do: to bring all the required players together to have the big conversation.
There is a role for both here, I think, but the innovation side, I think, should really tip towards the industry on this.
