I appreciate your acknowledging equity markets as one of the aspects of a pension portfolio for unionized workers, because your members pay corporate taxes. The return from those equity holdings comes only after the corporate taxes are paid.
You mentioned air travel. I know you're not the union responsible; well, in fact you are in some cases. The members there have a pension plan about which there are concerns. Canada Post came before our Parliament in the spring. The number one holding of the Canada Post pension plan is TD Bank, $200 million in holdings. When you propose to raise taxes on businesses, you're actually raising taxes on your unionized members and their pension plan. So I would encourage you to rethink that proposal as a funding method for the increased spending that you're proposing on this and other issues.
