Absolutely. I would say that the workers' funds are effective. They allow Canadians and Quebeckers who contribute to them to have a pension fund aside from the Canada Pension Plan and the Quebec Pension Plan—or another, depending on the province—but chiefly, they allow small and medium businesses who want to grow to have access to venture capital. So it is not necessary to go and raid the pockets of mom and pop. These funds are structured. There are governance rules, and through them, we have managed to create or maintain hundreds of thousands of jobs in the technology sector, green technologies and innovation as a whole. These are very important areas in the Canadian economy. The funds do good work.
Unfortunately, the federal government refused the proposal from the workers' funds. That is really unfortunate, because we are going to have to recreate those funds elsewhere. We may have to start all over again rather than be able to use what had already been done successfully.
