You say that if you just keep holding on to these bonds until they mature, you won't have a capital gain or loss. That is of course true, but you'll have a loss every single year, as the interest rates you have to pay your depositors under normal circumstances rise above the amount you're collecting from the Government of Canada, which means that you would be in an annual loss position. As you admitted earlier on, that loss is borne by the Canadian taxpayer. If you're paying your depositors a higher rate of interest, as you would be under normal interest rate levels, then you're collecting from the Government of Canada on the treasuries and bonds you hold, you're losing money every year, and taxpayers are picking up the cost.
Explain to us why we should be comforted at all that you're holding all of this stuff when the losses you incur are all passed on to our taxpayers.
