Mr. Minister, I am happy to hear you say that $55 billion were utilized for other things. I will come back to that.
You yourself made a distinction between the mandate of the commission and the mandate of the board. But your answer about the board deals with the commission's mandate. I will give you an opportunity to check your notes, because your answer is not consistent with them.
I want to go back to the $54 billion that were used for other purposes. When the Bloc Québécois introduced Bill C-280 on repatriating the surpluses that had been diverted from the account, which today are at $54 billion, your party's House leader, Mr. Van Loan, who was a member of the committee, proposed returning that $54 billion to the account. That amount, however, is not in the present budget.
Do you intend to honour the committee's unanimous recommendation? Will you also respect the motion that had been presented by Mr. Van Loan to amend Bill C-280?
