Public-Infrastructure Projects: Credit Suisse and Infrastructure Bank

public-infrastructure projects: It means private ownership of highways, ports, water systems, public transit, according to Globe and Mail. The government has already engaged Credit Suisse to study the benefits of privatizing airports; that would mean reversing the policy of former Liberal PM Jean Chrétien, who won political points by killing a privatization plan. And the council call for the creation of an infrastructure bank, designed to lure hundreds of billions of dollars of private investment into what would otherwise be public-infrastructure projects means, by definition, privatization or partly privatization. But the council immigration recommendation may be the one that gets the most attention. More important are the types of newcomers, and the demographic arithmetic behind the numbers. The big number – a call for 450,000 immigrants a year – will get the headlines. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
