Replying to Scott Anderson (Conservative)
“Mr. Speaker, with regard to Norway’s sovereign wealth fund, I decided to do the same thing as the Prime Minister, because he is a wise person. I decided that what I would do is take the bulk of the money out of my credit card, put it in my savings account and call it “Scott’s retirement fund”. Then I went to my accountant, who said that I would never retire. I was wondering if the member could explain to me why that is.”

Mr. Speaker, Aside · 68 wordsthat is what some people call “girl math”. I call it “Liberal math.” I have been guilty of doing the same thing. I see a very expensive thing that I absolutely cannot afford, and I buy it on sale when it is 5% off. I convince myself that I got all these savings for it. That is Liberal math. That is how the math works in this place.Aside Reasoning · 36 wordsCanadians do not need a wealth fund. They need a government that is going to handle affordability in a responsible way and stop leveraging the national credit card so Canadians have to leverage theirs for groceries.
