Not specifically that idea, but the broader area of protection, yes.
We started these discussions on a federal-provincial-territorial basis as finance ministers. When we met in Saskatoon last December, I had invited, with the consent of the other ministers at that time, Claude Lamoureux and Jack Mintz to come and speak to the ministers about pension issues. We've had further discussions since then, at our spring meeting. We're meeting again in December in Whitehorse.
In the meantime, we agreed to have a research group work on these broader subjects, and I'm told we will have that report in time for our meeting in December. So I look forward to having that discussion with my colleague, Minister Bachand, from Quebec, and with my other colleagues in the broader sphere.
We've taken some steps in the federal framework here in what we've announced today as a result of the consultations done by my parliamentary secretary.
