Key point in the editorial:

Dupont’s assignment is temporary. Morneau, Sohi and staffers in Trudeau’s office, led by his senior policy advisor Mike McNair, working to establish a new public agency whose working title is the “Canada Infrastructure and Investment Bank.” It was originally going to be announced in next year’s federal budget. Now, if it can be ready in time, it has been pencilled in as the main announcement of Morneau’s fall economic update, which should land within a few weeks of Blackrock’s big day in Toronto.

Comment:

So....... Is this what we have been waiting for? Blackrock? Could this be why our government and First Nations have been procrastinating publicly for so long? Has everyone been on the same page all along, but the investment fund that we were all waiting for was just not ready to sit down and talk Canadian investment? That is until we had our _____ together. My guess is that we were told by Blackrock. To line up all our ducks in a row first before even attempting a sit down and talk investment. That all of this delay in Ring of Fire, and other project investment, was being saved until we had things in place to not waste Blackrock's time. IMHO this could be our turning point. Obviously in the large scheme of things our little Ring of Fire infrastructure needs are small change investments, that represent possible solution to our First Nations' socio-economic disparity, as well as the multi-billion dollar ROIs that everyone is look for.
