First of all, I want to point out that the agreement has not yet been signed. We don't know what the industry's response will be. In fact, even if we did know, that would not change the fact that there is still a great deal of uncertainty, particularly as regards the program announced by Minister Emerson in his letter.
He states that the money will be arriving over the next six weeks. However, we have no idea how he is going to obtain the list of companies and determine the amount of cash deposits paid by each and every one of them. Since we have no assurances in that regard, it would be better for the Committee to make recommendations along the lines of what has been requested for quite some time now. Contrary to what you've said, this motion is not premature. This should have been put in place a long time ago. I support the motion. We'll see this evening and in the course of the next few days what comes of the April 27 agreement.
