Mr. Speaker, the government's responsibility was simply to administer the money entrusted to it. In the situation before us we risk creating a precedent, and my responsibility as minister is to ensure that the pension plan is managed according to the relevant laws and with regard to the rights of all the parties involved.
The government cannot go beyond this responsibility right now, and this is why we are taking this action now. It seems to me the most responsible approach in terms of the country as a whole.
