I think you guys are missing the point:

Either the government would get a good deal from CPP, in which case CPP gets a bad deal from the the government.

OR

The CPP would get a good deal from the government, in which case the government gets a bad deal from the CPP.

OR

The government wouldn't tell the CPP what to do at all, in which case this isn't a real policy.

-------------------------

In order for the government to get both low interest rates for its capital investments, and CPP to get high rates of return, it is mathematically necessary that their business is not with each other. It seems that the Liberals may be selling this as the financial equivalent of a perpetual motion machine.

And I still prefer them to Harper.
