Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
I did support this bill coming to committee, because I think this discussion is something that all Canadians are interested in, and my riding happens to have a population that is a little older than many others across the country. It's just south of Ottawa here along the St. Lawrence River: Brockville, Gananoque, Prescott, and areas like that. Many of the Nortel pensioners actually do live in my riding, so I have heard from many of my constituents who have been impacted by this.
But the bill is actually about super-priority. Mr. Hilton mentioned that many other countries--and I've learned quite a bit about this, much more than I ever anticipated--do have a preferred status for pensioners.
Mr. Hilton, you also mentioned that there are other measures, in addition to preferred status, that some other countries have. Maybe you could elaborate a little bit on that, please.
