Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to shift gears, although the discussion is interesting.
First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Roberts and all the other witnesses who are testifying before us.
Mr. Roberts, my first question is related to what you mentioned. I would have liked you to have provided some clarification on the issue of the proposed amendments to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act.
You said that the proposed amendments would not have changed the way Sears' bankruptcy was settled. We know that many pensioners of this company have been penalized. This includes pensioners from Canada, and even from my region in Sherbrooke.
Can you clarify this statement that the new provisions of the act wouldn't have changed anything at all? That's sort of the argument of the government, which is saying that these amendments are being proposed in response to what happened at Sears.
