RE:RE:RE:Pathways versus The Honourable Steven GuilbeaultDangerous stuff:
The implementation of CGF will be guided by five principal criteria: 1. Speed: CGF must be stood up quickly in order to keep pace with other jurisdictions— especially the U.S.—and contribute as soon as possible to achieving Canada’s ambitious 2030 emissions reduction targets. Time is of the essence if we are to succeed. 2. Independence and market credibility: CGF requires the capacity to make timely, independent investment decisions—which is crucial to its market credibility and the willingness of other investors to work with CGF. 3. Source of funding: CGF requires a secure funding mechanism to provide it with a stable capital base for the long-term. 4. Governance: CGF needs to have in place quickly a governance structure and executive team, as well as the ability to attract and retain the talent required to responsibly manage a large investment fund that is of critical importance to Canada. 5. Transparency: To ensure its full accountability to the people of Canada, CGF must have transparent public reporting, including to Parliament, on its operations, investments, and the performance of CGF against its mandate.
Whenever "the government" has an objective that is "too much, too fast or too soon": my spidey sense perk up and I get that angsty feeling that something is wrong.
