Make the Canada Infrastructure Bank Private Sector-Driven

The Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) should be restructured in order to carry out its main role of mobilizing private funds for infrastructure finance. It should become more private sector-driven and market responsive.

It would allow mobilizing significant private sector resources for project finance, and ensure that such investment ultimately serves the public interest
