First of all, it's very nice to see the member. I know that the member opposite cares greatly about getting good infrastructure built for Canadians, and about our priorities of creating jobs, tackling climate change, and building more inclusive communities.
The whole role of the Canada Infrastructure Bank is to get more infrastructure built. Canadians are paying for infrastructure. We pay for infrastructure through our taxes. We make many investments in infrastructure. The opportunity here with the Canada Infrastructure Bank is to really look at how we can get more built, because the infrastructure deficit or gap or whatever you call it is huge in our country.
I know that because economists tell us that, but I also know that because if I go to any mayor or any premier, they will tell me their list of infrastructure projects, and we have an opportunity to use workers' dollars.
When you think about the Caisse de dépôt, that's Quebec workers' dollars at work to build more infrastructure for Canadians. I would say that's a good thing. The workers get a return on their investment. This is about their retirement.
