What government could resist dabbling in this pot if there were any way they could get access or influence. It could be the consummate pork barrel....without a totally steel ring fence.  Above that a massive moat behind the ring might give the fund half a chance of avoiding politicians pets and really invest in solid future oriented stuff. Watching Quebec and its consistent bad bets has absolutely poisoned me  on even the tiniest sliver of an opportunity to get near this kind of free money.
