Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses who are here.
I want to assure Monsieur Lapierre that the priority that is assigned in Bill C-228 is exactly that which was put into Bill C-253 by my Bloc colleague, Marilène Gill. It is before banks, secured creditors, preferred creditors and unsecured creditors.
I only have six minutes, so I am going to ask some quick questions.
My first question is for Mr. VanGorder.
Do you agree with the priority that we've assigned to pensions in Bill C-228?
