Madam Speaker, I am a little distressed after listening to the comments made by the hon. member across the way. My impression is that he sees this large amount of money as another government spending project.
Does he not realize that with the changing demographics in our country that less people will be paying into the pension plan and more people will be taking out of it? If the sole reason for investment is not to make the most return on this pension plan, then there is a great chance that this whole idea of providing for future generations will not be there.
Does he believe that this pension plan should be used for environmental programs, health care and other government spending programs?
