Mr. Speaker, I am very disappointed. The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board Act was passed in Parliament 25 years ago. It is specifically requires that the investment board pay no attention to anything other than rate of return. It omits any reference to investing in Canada for the benefit of Canadians.
It is time to bring the investment board act back to Parliament and amend it so, at the very minimum, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board considers what is good for the Canadian economy and for our future. I do not want my Canada Pension Plan Investment Board investing in ways to burn the planet for my granddaughter who has to grow up in a place that may be unlivable, but at a minimum, it should support Canadian businesses first.
