Thank you, Mr. Barton, for your presentation this morning.
I'm not going to ask you to comment on my first couple of comments, but as a Conservative from Alberta, I want you to know that there's just about nothing that I agree with in what Mr. Caron said, other than the fact that the Liberals did not campaign on this agenda. In fact, their agenda in the election campaign was trying to out-NDP the NDP. I actually think, Mr. Barton, that your committee has thrown this government a real hot potato, because they did not campaign on the kinds of things that you're talking about, almost all of which make sense.
I don't expect you to comment on that, but I do want you to comment on this. As I said, I'm from Alberta, and I'm sure you're familiar with AIMCo. I know that AIMCo, which manages about $80 billion in Alberta pension funds, has difficulty in trying to find the appropriate investments in Canada. They're investing in infrastructure in Australia, in Chile, and in Argentina.
Here's what I think we need to take into account. Given the right opportunities, I'm sure these Canadian pension funds would like to invest in Canada and make the Canadian pension dollars work for Canadians. I'd like your response to that.
