Mr. Speaker, Mutual Life of Canada announced yesterday the acquisition of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of Canada, headquartered here in Ottawa.
My constituents and those of my colleagues in the area are concerned with the impact of this acquisition on the employment situation in the national capital region.
Will the Secretary of State for Financial Institutions tell this House what the government can do to make sure job loss is kept at a minimum and that those employees who are affected will be treated fairly and even generously?
