We halted the half-million-dollar study designed to measure the impact of the U.S. policy. We think that this kind of investment is useless, since we have public information enabling us to assess that impact.
I, my colleagues and Stockwell Day take this matter very seriously. We'll be meeting soon to ensure that the Americans have a very clear understanding of the Canadian problem. Thus far, our policy is effective, because the U.S. ambassador to Canada has said that the U.S. Congress had decided to push back implementation of the U.S. initiative.
We're going to continue our discussions with the Americans, bearing in mind that they are sovereign in their own country. The fact remains, however, that the postponement of this initiative's implementation is positive. We're going to continue talking with the Americans so that they consider this issue a priority.
