I would tend to agree with you by saying that yes, in fact, loan agreements for large companies are extremely complex. They include a lot of restrictive clauses and a tremendous number of conditions. That probably should have made creditors stop and think, causing them to ask whether Nortel's employee insurance system, for instance, was not in a non-arm's length trust controlled by a third party. They probably would have had the means or, at the very least, they could have ensured they had the means to pay what they offered because a pension plan is basically income, deferred pay.
I have a question for Ms. Marin. The situation is extremely urgent. A bill is before the Senate. We are in the House of Commons, and the bill will eventually have to come before the House for a vote. The only elected members of this Parliament are in the House of Commons.
Have you had any discussions to have this government act swiftly and bring a bill before the House of Commons?
