I'm going to throw out a question, and whoever cares to answer, can.
I'm still trying to figure out whether the Canada Infrastructure Bank is a good idea or a so-called good idea. My sense is that the promised transparency boils down to this: the government says that we should trust it and that this is a good idea.
The government commissioned Credit Suisse to study the privatization of airports, and the government turned to BlackRock on the matter of the Canada Infrastructure Bank. The new bank would be established as a crown corporation, and therefore immune to the parliamentary budget officer's scrutiny or questions.
How can we, as Canadians and elected representatives, keep tabs on the bank and know whether it actually follows through on the promises that have been made to us?
What say you, Ms. Ryan?
