This infrastructure bank idea is a terrible idea. 

4 Reasons:

1) We have banks. If the infrastructure is worthy of a loan, there is lots of available cash. That leaves infrastructure not worthy of bank loans.

2) 35b in 'starter funds' is money that is allocated to infrastructure today, but will only be available in mid 2020s. To spur private spending...

3) no real vision. What is important to get Canada going? New locks, new roads, new rails, new ports, new pipeline? Come on, let's have a vision.

4) We, the taxpayer, are on the hook. If the tolls, fees or other assessment.. pssst tax, isn't enough to pay the prime+4%, then we the taxpayer makeup the difference.

Folks, this is a terrible idea...
