I guess my quick response to it would be, Mr. Stoffer, that the challenge that we had was not in the regulations around permanent impairment allowance, it was around what we are referring to as a “crosswalk”. It was the relationship between the old act and the new act. It had to do with limiting what disabilities could be considered for permanent impairment allowances that flow from the old act. And the way the legislation had been structured, it imposed an unintended barrier. What Bill C-55 will do is eliminate the barrier so that in fact disabilities for which entitlement is held under the old Pension Act can be included for purposes of entertaining applications for permanent impairment allowance. So that's where the key distinction is in Bill C-55.
