I was all set to move on to the question until Mr. Iacono decided to use his platform, so I'll respond to that.
This government was the one that claimed that the Canada Infrastructure Bank would unleash a minimum of four-to-one, maybe even seven-to-one, private sector investment. We understand that there are lots of funding models where the government invests in infrastructure and does not expect to get a profit back. It was this government that structured it as a bank and told Canadians that they were going to get all of this money back from the private sector to leverage these projects.
When you look at the PBO report, and you look at the department's own disclosure, they are losing money, and they haven't completed a single project.
I don't know why these Liberal members keep trying to make comparisons with the previous Conservative government, which got the Asia-Pacific corridor projects built. They got the building Canada projects built in communities all across this country. Their P3 model completed projects within a four-year timeline.
All of that is to say that this is great material for debate on other things, Mr. Iacono. I think there's a willingness of the committee here to dispose of this amendment, and I suggest that we do that now.
