Listen now
Description
The Canada Infrastructure Bank has been around since 2017, and originally it was meant to help build huge infrastructure across the country.

Adam Radwanski, who covers climate policy for The Globe and Mail, explains how this bank is trying to change its reputation and what likely will happen if it doesn’t. Questions? Comments? Ideas?
