GM is describing its pension liabilities as crippling but the <a data-HoCid=\"128698\" href=\"/politicians/tony-clement/\" title=\"Tony Clement\">Minister of Industry</a> is refusing to protect workers and the pensions they have worked so hard to build.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1305653\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the minister stand up for GM workers by protecting their pensions or is he simply going to turn his back on them?</p>",
