Mr. Speaker, I have been listening with great interest to members of the Reform Party digressing on this bill. To date all of them have led Canadians who are listening to us to believe that this extra $50 billion in liability insurance would be added to the deficit and the national debt that exists already. This is absolutely false.
My question for the hon. member for Comox-Alberni is: In terms of numbers, how much is it going to cost the Government of Canada with this new mortgage insurance fund?
