Mr. Speaker, we know that this is a difficult time for the workers, their families, and for many communities.
That is why our government is making every effort to connect Sears employees and pensioners with programs that can assist them during this difficult time. We also understand that current Sears Canada pension funds are held in trust and must be used solely for the benefit of the pensioners.
We will continue to engage and work with the employees and their families to make sure we help them during this difficult time.
