Thanks very much, Chair.
MP Gladu, it's great to have you here and to see you. Thank you for bringing this bill forward.
I want to start by saying that I used to be a member of the provincial Parliament in Ontario when the Ontario government at the time was the Kathleen Wynne government. I was parliamentary assistant to the minister of finance at the time when we announced additional support for Sears pensioners when their pension fund fell short of the benefits those workers were to receive. As someone who fully supported that decision by the Ontario government at the time, I completely understand how important it is that commitments to workers be met, and that includes pension commitments.
In that vein, we know about the Sears story. I certainly know it intimately. I was trying to do a little bit of research in advance of this hearing about how broad this problem is. Just for the folks watching at home who are trying to understand how significant and widespread this problem is, do you know, more or less, how many bankruptcies proceedings or CCAA proceedings with defined benefit plans have happened over the years that have led to the loss of pensions? Do you have any sense of that?
