It is not yet finalized. This is a serious issue involving $32 billion or $33 billion of Canadians' money. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1243575\" data-originallang=\"en\">The regulation was the responsibility largely of the provinces and the territories, not the Government of Canada, but who gets called upon in crises is the Government of Canada to deal with these issues on behalf of Canadians. This is a gap in our system of regulation that the crisis that we are going through points out it is necessary to fill.</p>",

Le dossier n\u2019est pas encore clos. Il s\u2019agit d\u2019un probl\u00e8me grave.

Il s\u2019agit l\u00e0 d\u2019une lacune de notre r\u00e9gime de r\u00e9glementation, et la crise actuelle montre qu\u2019il faut la combler. </p>"
