Mr. Speaker, that story might be interesting if it were the issue. However, the fact is that the infrastructure bank's CEO actually said it might take up to 18 months before it started any other project.
All the bank did in this case was to take $1.28 billion in government money and give it to the Caisse de dépôt et placement. That is it.
Last month the Parliamentary Budget Officer said that close to $4 billion in budgeted infrastructure investments would be delayed to later years. Communities need funding now, not years from now.
What are the Liberals waiting for?
