Okay.
The minister just provided testimony today, which indicates that we can expect an announcement on the lifetime pension issue before the end of the year. This is the centre of the Equitas case, as you know. On many occasions, since I've been in this role, which is a short period of time, I've had contact with many of the principal people involved with the Equitas case.
As you know, the government decided to re-engage in the court case, after the abeyance agreement ran out. The appeal court still hasn't rendered a decision on where that would be. The Equitas people were in Ottawa prior to Remembrance Day articulating pretty clearly what the lifetime pension conditions are or the parts of the program that they thought it should be.
The reason I bring that up is that, when we look at the supplementary estimates (B), there are no appropriations for lifetime pensions.
When we anticipate an announcement that the minister has promised by the end of the year, how do we square that with no appropriations for lifetime pensions?
In your roles, can you explain how that squares?
