I want to thank the member for the question.
We chose to provide an option that gives these people access to their pension funds. We gave them the option of changing the information on their permanent resident card.
In some cases, people's applications have been rejected because of the codes on their cards. We use these codes to check the cards.
The option provided by the Department of Citizenship and Immigration gives us the opportunity to help people by adapting the policy. However, we can't change the code. We don't have the right to do so. Instead, we've given clients the option of changing the information on their permanent resident card.
