Mr. Chair, I think those are very reasonable questions.
I certainly share the impatience of members of this committee and of Canadians to see the value that the bank can bring to these kinds of projects. I've had a number of conversations with both the CEO and the board chair. As I say, we met with the board chair. My deputy and I were in British Columbia last week and spent a couple of hours with Ms. Vrooman. I explained to her what I think is an understandable desire on the part of all Canadians to see the bank relevant in big and small projects across the country. They have invested, as I said, $7.2 billion of bank capital, which has attracted, as of last month, $7.6 billion in private and institutional investment.
I certainly take your point that in the initial description of the bank's mandate, there was an expectation or a hope that that private capital portion would be higher. I think we're going to see that grow over time.
