Exactly, priceless.
So we want to see this issue resolved and the bill passed. My colleague has really been the vehicle of the generosity of Nortel's pensioners, who know this is not going to change their situation, but who don't want to see Canadians face what they've had to face. The generosity they have offered to Canadians and their commitment behind it mean that we're willing to be a little more patient, if necessary, to get a bill passed that has the support of the House of Commons.
We want to move on this, because we're watching people fall through the gaps. We've felt strongly about this issue for decades. We've attempted to pass similar bills in the past, but they have not made it through the House of Commons. Even if the Liberal Party is still seeking to clarify certain elements, we'll support the process, because we don't believe it would be unreasonable to have a short break.
So as long as we have that extension in the House and we get some clear definitions as to when we're going to have these meetings, then I think we'd be quite pleased to try to make sure this gets done, because too many people are at risk and too much work has been done by the Nortel pensioners. Their efforts, once again, are for other Canadians. Their selflessness needs to be recognized.
So we're hopeful we can see this through, but we just want to make sure that it's going to get back to the House one way or another and have that opportunity. So we're appreciative of the efforts to try to find consensus.
