There is a lot of private capital available. The Fortune 500 companies, of course, have a lot of it. I think they are likely more inclined to reinvest in their own enterprises, but there are many natural infrastructure investors, and those would include the major Canadian pension funds as well as the specialty equity investors. I think they are really just looking for an opportunity to invest. They like the asset class; they like dealing with government, and they particularly enjoy the long-term, stable cash flow that is associated with these projects. So it may come from different sources, but I think we are not currently short of capital; we're just short of meaningful opportunities into which it can be deployed.</p>",

D'importants capitaux priv\u00e9s sont disponibles. \u00c9videmment, les entreprises Fortune 500 en ont beaucoup. \u00c0 mon avis, elles sont probablement plus susceptibles de les r\u00e9investir au sein de leurs propres entreprises, mais on compte de nombreux investisseurs ax\u00e9s sur les investissements en infrastructure, parmi lesquels on retrouve les principaux fonds de pension canadiens et les investisseurs en actions sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s. Je pense qu'ils attendent simplement l'occasion d'investir. Ils ont un int\u00e9r\u00eat pour la cat\u00e9gorie d'immobilisations et aiment faire affaire avec le gouvernement. Ils s'int\u00e9ressent particuli\u00e8rement aux entr\u00e9es d'argent stables et \u00e0 long terme associ\u00e9es \u00e0 ce genre de projets. Donc, cela peut provenir de diverses sources. Actuellement, \u00e0 mon avis, ce ne sont pas les capitaux qui manquent, mais les possibilit\u00e9s int\u00e9ressantes de les investir.</p>"
