Thank you, Chair.

Thank you to all the witnesses for, yet again, a fascinating discussion.

I'd like to follow up on where Mr. Bachrach was going in his questions to Professor Whiteside. I'll turn to Mr. Romoff.

You heard Professor Whiteside say that there were all sorts of ways of financing worthy projects other than using private sector capital.

How do you respond to that? What about more government debt? What about bonds, etc.? Do you think that some projects would not be able to proceed if it were not for the private capital?

See context to find out what was said next.
