Through the chair, the simple answer is no. As the minister, I'm not involved in the day-to-day operations or decisions made by the Infrastructure Bank. It is an independent agency that's at arm's length from government.
I have regular updates from the CEO and contact with the chair and board, which are standard for the relationship between a minister and an independent agency that I have responsibility for.
My input is through policy direction, which is what's under way right now and going forward. That's where I have the opportunity, on behalf of Parliament and on behalf of Canadian people, to input a shared sense that we really need to focus on Canadian jobs and Canadian materials with these infrastructure investments.
However, we need to make sure, as you said when you opened your question, that the bank operates independently and has the confidence of the market and from private investors. That's how the bank can leverage billions of dollars of investment from the private sector into our public infrastructure.
