A confidential briefing for adviser Jim Leech says Canada's infrastructure bank could take on a large risk share to attract private investors. It could issue debt, provide loss buffers, or offer concessionary terms, aiming to crowd in private capital while limiting public funding. The plan aims to fund bridges, roads, and energy networks with $15 billion cash and $20 billion in financing over 11 years.
