Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I move amendment NDP-38. Here again we have a punitive appeal process. This committee has refused in any way to make things a little more livable, to make this a little more business-viable for softwood companies. This crushing burden is being imposed by members of this committee, something that I think would surprise and dismay softwood companies.
One of the punitive aspects is for appeals under clause 55. What we see here is that no application for the appeal may be made after the expiry of 30 days after the decision referred to in subclause 55(5) was mailed to the person. The application is sent, and the decision is mailed to the person at who-knows-where in Canada. Certainly I think we can allow a week to two weeks; then they have a few scant days to turn around to file an application for appeal. It is incredible, Mr. Chair.
The amendment that I have moved makes that expiry 90 days after the decision referred to, and does not base it--
