I find that a bit unfortunate because it reflects a belief that the private sector is more effective and efficient than the government in terms of administration and business. We are coming to the conclusion that private plans are ultimately no more secure.
Ms. Thompson, earlier, in response to my colleague's question, you said that your feeling of uncertainty and the drop in the plan's value are not unique to Air Canada—because people could think that any financial problems are due to the Air Canada Public Participation Act. You answered that it was not due solely to that legislation, and that it is happening in other companies as well, such as Nortel, which is another case.
Finally, that is why you think that the value of public pension plans needs to be increased in order to give workers more guarantees. Is that correct? Because the insurance program you are recommending is not necessarily a sure thing. And you say that we should increase the size of public plans. So that is a policy you would like to see?
