List of Recommendations
As a result of their deliberations committees may make recommendations which they include in their reports for the consideration of the House of Commons or the Government. Recommendations related to this study are listed below.
Recommendation 1
Considering that the Committee still remains concerned about the waste, inefficiency, and lack of transparency at the CIB, the Government of Canada act on the single recommendation of the Committee in its third report and abolish the Canada Infrastructure Bank.
Recommendation 2
That the Government of Canada prevent the Canada Infrastructure Bank from using preferential public financing to “de-risk” wealthy corporations’ private-sector projects in cases in which such projects have circumstantial, speculative, or minimal benefits to the Canadian public.
Recommendation 3
That the Canada Infrastructure Bank refrain from using taxpayers' money to finance projects like the Lake Erie Connector, which are primarily for the benefit of foreign companies.
Recommendation 4
That the Canada Infrastructure Bank refrain from partnering with foreign companies that unfairly attack Quebec and Canadian companies, as NextEra Energy Resources did with Hydro Québec.
Recommendation 5
That the Government of Canada facilitate cooperation between the Quebec and Ontario provincial governments to work towards integrating their respective electricity grids.
