Mr. Chairman, as regards this motion and loan guarantees, I wish to remind you that the report made reference to the agreement reached by Canada and the United States, and that we asked that loan guarantees be put in place if we were not given assurances that the Americans would pay back the amount due within the prescribed time frame. So, this has nothing whatsoever to do with that.
In our opinion, if there is no agreement, that motion can once again be deemed to be in order. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the other motion, which referred to loan guarantees, but as part of the negotiations undertaken following the framework agreement announced on April 27th.
This motion asks that a loan guarantee program be introduced.
