Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I wanted to thank all the witnesses for appearing and giving such good and fine testimony this morning.
Mr. Mistele from the federation, I think I heard you say you're a chicken farmer.

Very good. I was born and raised and still live on the family farm, and I chair the dairy caucus for our party. I feel strongly about supply management and what's happening in that sector and such, and I just wanted to let you know that.
I was interested when you talked about sustainability of income in the marketplace and how important that is for equality and the principles of competition and such. I just wondered if you could elaborate on that in terms of the family farm overall, what it means, and how best to proceed in that way. I just want to get more of that testimony on the record.

That was a good stump speech.

Mr. Nighbor, in terms of the market studies and the amendment that would allow the commissioner to conduct some of those studies into the state of competition, I wanted to ask you if you thought that would give him or her the power to conduct fishing expeditions even if there's little evidence of any anti-competitive process.

You'll be happy to know, then, that this is going to die on the order paper.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I want to thank each and every one of you for appearing and presenting important testimony today.
Mr. Kent, I wanted to ask you something with respect to Bill C-55. It clarifies that neither a court nor a employer may unilaterally amend a collective agreement. Instead, the court may put the employer and the union at a table with the obligation to bargain in good faith. That's as I understand it. Only with agreement can the collective agreement be changed.
Why isn't this enough--or is it?

Let me get some clarity on this notion of a receiver to be appointed under the BIA who would act nationally. Is that a good move?

This question is to the Canadian Bar Association. I believe your organization generally supports the exemption of RRSPs from seizure during bankruptcy; I think that's understood. Bill C-55, of course, proposes it to be exempt; RRSPs should be subject to a clawback of contributions. In addition, Bill C-55 contemplates regulations that will impose a cap to the size of the protected RRSP and a lock-in of the remaining amount. Do you believe it is important to have this measure in place?

That will prevent abuse, as far as we're concerned?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I wanted to ask you, sir, in terms of safeguarding against abuse, whether or not you thought that if an exemption existed with respect to RRSPs--and it would under the bill--it would be possible to prevent the bankrupt from accessing all the capital in an RESP after a discharge and using those moneys personally rather than for an education for a child.

Well, you say it's not probable, but it is something that certainly could happen.

Do you have any idea as to the current amount of money held in RESPs lost to bankruptcy?

Just sticking to RESPs for a minute, I also wanted to ask you the following. That's created, of course, using after-tax income.

Who owns the capital in the plan? Is it the contributor or the child? Does the beneficiary of the plan have a legal right to the capital? If not, how is an RESP different from a bank account?
