Quite frankly, it's an insurance policy and it's actually not really a figure at all. It's not real money. I personally earn 9.375 hours a month. I have over 3,000 hours in my bank that I will never use.
When Mr. Clement, the President of Treasury Board, is asked where he gets the $900 million from, he has no answer. He goes so far as to say that it's still negotiable.
How can it be negotiable, Mr. Clement, if you've already booked $900 million for a projected surplus? That's why we suggest to you that it's not an accurate figure. It's simply an accounting exercise on a piece of paper.
