That report was from Feb 2006.. so yes it is new.
That said, this was what the AB Gov't put out last year:

Quote:
Nearly $1 billion
from this year’s surplus will be used to boost savings.

Quote:
The government is putting $226
million from the surplus into the fund to ensure that the fund
grows at least as fast as the rate of inflation.

Now, whether these numbers have been increased and are the same as above, or whether those above are in addition I don't know. The point is that contributions are being made.
