Mr. Speaker, I notice the minister did not answer the last question. Maybe I will have better luck.
There was an article in The Globe and Mail this morning in which the minister is said to have promised that he would provide the details of an analysis that his department did in order to talk about the alleged loss of jobs from CPP premium increases. However, according to the article,
The department did not provide its full analysis. Instead, it provided a six-paragraph statement that the department has done modelling “using a range of assumptions and models” to assess the impact of higher CPP premiums.
That is no answer. Anyone can dream up any number. If we do not have the analysis backing it, how do we know what is true and what is not true?
My question for the minister is whether he will provide solid analysis, not just a few short paragraphs, to back up his claims.
Also, I would wonder why he is talking about the impact of a doubling of the CPP. I know the NDP has talked about that, but that is not what is on the table. That is not the provincial motion that the government rejected. Why is he scaremongering by talking about proposals that are not even on the table?
