The federal government is in talks with Canada’s largest pension funds about investing in billions of dollars worth of infrastructure projects to help stimulate the economy, according to Reuters.
“We are engaging pension funds and other potential partners to find areas of alignment,” a spokeswoman for Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi told Reuters. She did not give further details.
Executives at Canada’s pension funds, which are among the world’s biggest infrastructure investors, say that the projects will need to be structured in a way that limits the risk they take if they are to be involved in backing them.
