“The case for establishing the CIB is not compelling, as it has the potential to increase overall costs to taxpayers while privatizing the most high-return, low-risk infrastructure assets. So, why the CIB? We don’t know, and ‘just because innovation’ is not a good enough answer,”

That pretty much sums it up.  The Liberals would rather 'invest' in absurdly expensive programs that result in fat fees to their consulting buddies and bigger government, than consider measured investment in critical infrastructure (think transportation) within our means.

Layer on the usual half-baked performance measurement framework (who would ever want to know if we really achieved our objectives) and the proposed muzzling of the Parliamentary Budget Office in undemocratic fashion, and a PM that suffers from moral hazard (doesn't care if he overspends because he can tax the difference), and you have yet another expensive Liberal mess.

It's time to get rid of Trudeau, and not 'just because'
