I don't see much misinterpretation here:

Mr. Brison hinted at the party’s thinking when he told Mr. Berthiaume much of the work could be done “off the government balance sheet” by tapping funds from pension plans, including the Canada Pension Plan, into which all working Canadians contribute.

CPP already invests in infrastructure projects where it sees fit. The article suggests that Trudeau and Brison would look beyond that; thus, forcing CPP to make certain investments for political reasons. And, if so, I would also be very much against that.
