Mr. Speaker, the minister is really making like he just does not get it.
Here is what the Liberal platform said: “We will establish the Canadian Infrastructure Bank to provide low-cost financing for new infrastructure projects.”
However, instead of borrowing at 1.3%, which they can do at this point in time, the Liberals are choosing to fill their Bay Street buddies' coffers with a promised return of 7% to 9%.
Is that really what the Liberals want to do, make Canadians pay five times more than necessary and hand over more control to their BlackRock pals?
