Since the Canada Infrastructure Bank is a crown corporation and, under its incorporating act, a project funded by the bank is considered a federal government project, this type of project wouldn't be subject to provincial legislation or municipal regulations. It would allow the bank to be exempted from obligations set out in certain environmental regulations, for instance. As a result, a provincial or municipal government could do little to oppose the project.
What do you think? Do you have any concrete examples that would illustrate this situation?
