Hon. Hugh Segal: Honourable senators, when the Leader of the Government in the Senate looks into that matter with respect to legislation, could she also look into protection for investors, people who own pension funds and others who have stock in Canadian companies, so that the value of their stock is not diminished by legislation that reduces the market attractiveness of that stock — stock which they, pension fund managers and large pension funds, depend upon for the purpose of sustaining people's retirement so that, unlike other governments, no measures are proposed that are confiscatory.
L'honorable Hugh Segal : Sénateurs, lorsque madame le leader du gouvernement au Sénat fera des recherches sur cette possibilité de légiférer en la matière, pourrait-elle aussi voir si on envisage de protéger les investisseurs, ceux qui ont une caisse de retraite et ceux qui détiennent des actions de sociétés canadiennes?
