Mr. Chair, I know the hon. member is well aware from the work he does in committee of all the things that have been done by his government, but what about the things that have not been done?
We have heard all year about the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and what has happened with Nortel, AbitibiBowater and others. Has the member come up with any suggestions on things that he would support and has he advocated to the government for some of the changes that would have helped the 17,000 Nortel people who, in another few weeks, will end up with very little income? That is one question.
My second question is that I would be interested to know what the member's thoughts are on the mandatory retirement age and what he thinks should happen when he is moving along that avenue.
My third question is about the stranded pension agency. One issue is that pensioners are being forced to liquidate their savings now as a result of the bankruptcy. It would have been a very simple thing for the government of today to do. I actually thought the Minister of Industry was going to do it in order to help many of those people.
I would be interested in the member's comments.
