Scott Anderson Conservative
“I want the member to explain how we can create a national wealth fund with borrowed money instead of saved money.”
“Mr. Speaker, with regard to the sovereign wealth fund, I recently asked my colleague the same question. The other day, my neighbour showed me his bank account, and it was enormous. I thought, “This is a secret”, so I maxed out my credit cards and put the money in my savings account. For some reason, when I went to my accountant, he said I will never retire. I am wondering if the member can explain to me the difference between my neighbour’s bank account, in which he saved money over time, and my savings account that I just put money into. Can you explain the difference between those two?”
