I understand that Mr. Pigott is a lawyer, and we've heard from another lawyer.
There has been some mention that Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, and other provinces have done away with mandatory retirement, yet at least as far as New Brunswick is concerned, they have specific provisions that allow employers to differentiate between employees on the basis of age with respect to employee pensions, benefits, and other insurance plans. That has seemed to be an issue for other witnesses.
Are you familiar with those exemptions? I understand, with respect to New Brunswick, that the age-related protections do not apply to the termination of employment or to a refusal to employ because of the terms or conditions of any bona fide retirement or pension plans. Tell me if I'm correct in that. Explain it if you can, and give me your comments on that. Perhaps each of you could answer, in whichever order you want.
Go ahead, Philippe.
