## Resource

Stephen Frank, President and CEO of the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association, discusses how Canada's life and health insurers manage over a trillion dollars in long-term assets and can play a crucial role in addressing the country's infrastructure deficit. He explains what makes projects "investable" from an insurer's perspective, why Canadian capital flows abroad, and how regulatory certainty and government policy reforms could unlock significant private investment in nation-building projects, defence assets, and critical infrastructure across Canada.
