Mr. Speaker, that is completely false. First of all, I offer my sympathies to those who are facing these challenges.
Fortunately, these people can count on a government that has taken action in the past: we improved protections for workers, we changed the legislation to ensure that regular pension payments are made before other creditors are paid, and we also expanded the wage earner protection program, to pay severance pay up to $3,400.
I know that the member was not here during the previous Parliament, but her party voted against these changes, and that is shameful.
