Mr. Speaker, the government is linking its new CPP investment fund to the TSE 300 index. That index includes Imasco, Imperial Tobacco's parent company, a company that profits from the targeting of young smokers. The health minister should know that any plan for persuading Canadians not to smoke cannot and should not be good for tobacco profits.
Does the Minister of Health agree with the Minister of Finance that it is okay for CPP funds to support tobacco companies like Imperial Tobacco?
