Mr. Speaker, I thought I detected some sophistry in my colleague's arguments. Sophistry makes the worse argument look like the better. Did my ears play tricks on me or did he say that because Nelson Mandela was considered by somebody to be a terrorist therefore we should invest in Ivanhoe mines in Burma because they happen to be led by one of the most oppressive governments on the face of the earth, perhaps in this century?
Did he say that the CPP board should be allowed to invest in tobacco companies and liquor companies? Maybe I misheard him, but surely to goodness we could have good returns and better returns by investing in ethical companies. I do not include cigarette companies and liquor companies in that, but perhaps my ears were playing tricks on me.
