Look, it's not for me to speak to the motivations that other parties may have. I know that there are notable Conservatives who have expressed support for the Infrastructure Bank in the past and Conservative provincial governments that are now considering the idea of moving forward with their own complementary initiatives. To the advantages, I'm very happy to speak. This creates an opportunity to crowd in private funding to build infrastructure that serves a public purpose. It's an opportunity for us to solicit an initial private investment in projects that are going to achieve an important public goal and will help drive economic opportunities for Canadians as well.
When we see billions of dollars in money—that's paid back, by the way—invested in projects that can then, in turn, pull in billions of dollars of additional private capital, more things get done that otherwise wouldn't get done. The kinds of things that get done are high-speed Internet in rural communities, public transit in major urban centres, emissions-reducing projects in buildings and communities right across the country, and, as we discussed in response to your last question, economic opportunities for communities that too often have been left behind, including, as you raise in your question now, the opportunity for more indigenous communities to take part in a growing economy, particularly, a growing green economy.
From my perspective, from a social, economic and environmental point of view, the Canada Infrastructure Bank, given its recent uptick in volume and the pace at which it's operating, is checking the boxes on all three categories.
