Essentially this is an effort to rectify a procedural error that had occurred. Generally speaking, social security agreements would not be tabled along with the budget. They would be tabled within both houses of Parliament independently.
As we are not in a position to meet our treaty obligations with Poland currently, due to the error that has been made, we were seeking the fastest solution to ensure that people who are entitled to receive benefits will receive their full benefits as soon as possible. So this is an effort to ensure that pensioners would be entitled to benefits from Canada and Poland, as per the terms of the agreement and in as quickly a timeframe as possible.
