I would not want to impute intent to the Canada Infrastructure Bank's employees.

I don't think there is malicious intent. I think the problem is rather the fact that there had never had been intent to gather all the information on all infrastructure projects in a single place. Given that there are many projects, the department has been unable to or is still unable to obtain information on all the projects. As a result, it is very difficult to determine whether all the funds—$187 billion—will be spent and when.
