The government's aim is to land private sector infrastructure investment so that "they can spur the economy"? I don't think so. This is all about the government cashing in on cash producing investments. Akin to selling the furniture because you are having difficulty in paying the mortgage.

Pension plans' goals are to maximize returns for their members and match long term liabilities with sources of income. That is it. There is nothing in their plans about spurring the economy. Hogwash.
