Here is a link to the salaries of our politicians. Understand please that I am not saying all politicians are supporting what is happening to us, but because of non action by some, I feel that taxpayers, notably SLI shareholders in this case, are paying someone for a job they are not doing. For example, would you pay someone for shovelling your snow, when they didn,t or don,t shovel it? So, its proposterous and indeed an enhancement to the already situation of us SLI shareholders being continuously exploited. Its these politicians that have the power to effect, apply and enact the very needed legislation that will assure the security we need, there is also the intervention instrument that can be utilized in unique situations, and especially if they contain the ingrediates to jeopardize the security in Canada, by way of the integrity of our financial markets.
