BANKRUPTCY QUESTIONS.

I am considering bankruptcy and I have a couple of questions. First, I withdrew funds from my RRSP a couple of years ago under the Home Buyers Plan, and have 15 years to pay it back. Does going bankrupt eliminate the need to pay these funds back in the future?
Secondly, last year I cashed in my life insurance and was surprised to get a T5 for 2006 for a sizable amount of the surrender value of the policy, which I cannot pay the tax on. Will this effect my bankrupcy in any way?
Is there a time limit from the time you go bankrupt back to the past where I received money from my life insurance?
Thank you for your time.
