About the time left to study this matter, we have been told that there are only 16 days left, plus an additional 30 days. We have been told that it is a deadline but that the Minister has the power to request an extension if he so wishes. So, we are not limited to 46 days. Over the next 30 days, if we want to continue, the Minister will be able to ask for an extension. He has that power under section 22 of the Canada Investment Act.
I fear that Mr. Carrie has misled us. If the government believes that we are not ready to go ahead with the sale under the Canada Investment Act, it can request an extension, which will be granted. If the 46 days are not sufficient and we need more time to carry out an in-depth study and put the matter to rest, we will go even further by asking the minister to suspend his decision and ask for another extension so that we can provide him with a report. I believe that would be the proper procedure considering the importance of this matter.
