Mr. Speaker, the member seemed to imply that the government is pre-funding things and that is inappropriate. Let me use the example of the millennium scholarship fund. It was set up to provide scholarship benefits to Canadians right across Canada for a lifetime. Some $1 billion was set up as an endowment and was put into a separate foundation. It has its own board of directors. It is audited. It is reported on through the proper minister to this place.
Does the member believe that setting up the millennium scholarship fund and putting $1 billion in an endowment to provide for those future scholarships was inappropriate?
