Mr. Speaker, first, that option is open to the investment board.
As to the reference made by the member for Calgary—Nose Hill that the $600 billion liability would be made up by an income tax increase, that income tax increase is 25%. This statement is a matter of public record. If that is not the case, will the hon. member now stand up and tell us how they will fund the $600 billion liability or is it their intention to renege on the contributions and obligations to Canadians?
