I'm more interested in the issue that was on before, because that relates more to my own committee. Having met with a number of the Nortel workers, and particularly people who are suffering from conditions like MS who are going to see their monthly living allowance, what they live on, reduced in some cases from $3,000 to $300 or $400 a month, I have a significant concern about that.
In terms of the prorogation, I'm not sure I really have any questions for you. It seems to me that prorogation slowed down a lot of what Parliament is meant to do. Whether people like the way the House of Commons acts or not, they see their members of Parliament as their voice. I think perhaps what you're getting at is that at a critical time for you and for the people working at Nortel and other people who were facing serious problems because of the lack of protection--change that could be made to the BIA and other things like that--that was shut down; and that's not the role that people see their parliamentarians having.
I don't specifically have a question, but I wish you well, and that goes for the folks you work with.
