Nortel is a classic example, but there are many others.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1296854\" data-originallang=\"en\">From time to time, various members on both sides of the House have worked on administrative fixes. What can you tell us about the state of these administrative fixes? What are you doing to anticipate what will essentially be a huge rush on these problems going forward, as people's portfolios and stock options just melt in front of their very eyes?</p>",

O\u00f9 en sommes-nous? Quelles mesures avez-vous prises afin de parer aux probl\u00e8mes qui se feront de plus en plus nombreux au fur et \u00e0 mesure que les portefeuilles et les options d'achat d'actions fondent comme neige au soleil?</p>"
