Mr. Speaker, the hon. member across has made a great to-do about what it costs the government but he has not told us what that is. Perhaps we should put some facts on the table.
Concerning the CMHC's mortgage insurance fund, the premiums charged by the corporation in addition to the value of the property assist in covering the liability. That is why the fund has been more than self-sustaining. It has thus far returned $55 million to the government. The fact of the matter is that it is self-sustaining. It has not cost us.
We should have figures on the table when accusatory statements are made.
