BlackRock Inc., the planet’s largest asset manager, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are engaged in an intense courtship that has been swept into Canada’s political crossfire.
As details emerge about the depth of the relationship between the investors and the policy makers, opposition politicians suspect a conflict of interest as the federal Liberals promote their vaunted infrastructure bank and seek big money.
Political rivals from both the left and the right have been trying to frame BlackRock’s role in the process as evidence, they say, that the government’s new bank will put the priorities of wealthy investors ahead of Canadian taxpayers.
The arm’s-length infrastructure bank, a concept central to the Liberal economic growth strategy, is designed to use $35 billion in public dollars as leverage to attract billions more in private investment.
The New York-based company, which manages US$5.4 trillion in assets, describes itself as a firm that invests on behalf of a wide assortment of clients – from governments, to large institutions, to middle-income people saving for retirement.
Thoughts....The NDP have stated they have no interest in teaming up with the libs....if Wynne wants a chance of staying in power she should be about ready to announce her holistic plan for the ring.....the one Trudeau is waiting for patiently to bring in his 'partners'.
