Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development.
From 1946 to 1964, the federal government was a trustee of the pension fund set up for ex-employees of Singer. As trustee, the government paid into the account of the employer, the Singer Company, a total of $714,900 in 1964, which is the equivalent of $5 million in today's dollars.
Does the minister admit that the federal government, which was looking after the pension fund established for ex-employees of Singer, was a party to the terrible injustice done to them by unduly paying pension fund returns to the employer rather than the workers?
