Thank you for your response.
The opposition members on this committee, particularly Mr. Angus, who is a Northern Ontario MPP, have only repeated that we knew that Laurentian University was going to come under the protection of the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act. As you said, that is not true at all.
Mr. Lefebvre and I have met with Laurentian University officials, as we have since 2015. We are working hard with Laurentian University and we have discussed their concerns. However, no one in the community, including Mr. Lefebvre and myself, thought the university would go to court. The opposition says that we knew about this. This is not true, and political games are being played on the backs of Laurentian University employees and students.
Some people say we can stop this legal process. Can the federal government do that? Have you taken any steps in that direction?
