Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned, we are very sympathetic to those people who face troubles in this regard.
Our government has already acted, and we acted long ago. We recognized that the best way to protect pensions was to make changes at the front end so that pensions are appropriately regulated. That is why we have improved protection for workers. It is why we have changed the wage earner protection program to pay severance and termination pay up to about $3,400 and we have changed the law to ensure that regular pension payments owing are paid ahead of other creditors.
We remain focused on jobs and the economy.
