We haven't found the 80 per cent figure mentioned in your proposal. The only talk now is of $1 billion. Is it more advantageous then for the Canadian industry to limit this to $1 billion, rather than talk about $1 billion, or 80 per cent, which could mean the final amount could exceed $1 billion if the agreement is not signed before next December? Why is there no mention of reimbursing 80 per cent of the entries in the version of the agreement posted on the department's website?
