Mr. Speaker, I am sure the member is not proposing that we have a committee of this House that would monitor this type of activity, because that would be a full time job. The committee would have to meet every day because the problem is that this type of behaviour and these kinds of standards and guidelines change, every day I would suspect. One day a company is ethical by his standards, but the next day it is unethical by someone else's standards, maybe even by his own standards. We would have to decide that every single day.
What we are talking about here is an investment board that is charged with optimizing returns. The member cites the example of landmines. What if 5% of a company's total sales is dedicated to landmines and the rest is for other types? Would he make any distinction there? If it produced one landmine, is it automatically off the list? It does not make any sense.
