Mr. Chairman, I share Mr. Simard's concern. I think that we should carry out an in-depth study of this matter but you are telling us that the deadline is 16 days from now. I know it is possible for the Minister to extend this deadline, and we may ask him to. We might also add another amendment to this one, requesting that the Industry Minister not authorize the sale before the committee has produced its report. Otherwise, we will have done a very long study that will be useless because the minister will already have decided. That is my concern, Mr. Chairman.
