Yes, Mr. Miller, what you're asking about is a country-specific safeguard mechanism. When we entered into the GATT, there was a safeguard mechanism under the safeguard agreement. Because we have agreed to tariff concessions in the agreement, and the tariffs are going down, and because the negotiators can't think of everybody and every industry when they're at the WTO, and can't take into account every unique circumstance, if it turns out there is an industry that suffers serious injury as a result of the tariff reductions that take place in the phase-out schedule, they can bring forward a case. It can be initiated either by the Department of Finance without the industry or the industry can bring a complaint to the Canadian International Trade Tribunal for a safeguard proceeding to take place.
So under the Canada–EFTA free trade agreement, if a particular industry is suffering serious injury as a result of the tariff reductions under that agreement.... If the shipbuilding industry finds it can't adjust quickly enough, what they're able to do is bring forward this safeguard measure. And if the Canadian International Trade Tribunal finds there has been serious injury and there's been a surge as a result of the tariff reductions, then they're able to put a special surtax in place.
Under the agreement, it's limited to a three-year period, and the duties can go back up to the rate they were, either immediately before the agreement came into place.... Let's just say we get through the Doha Round and cut our 25% MFN rates down to 15%; then the rate would be increased and the duty rate would go up to 15%, because that's where it would have been in any event.
So we have a mechanism to have this three-year period, where the duties go back up to the higher level, and the industry is given an opportunity to adjust to the fact that the reductions are taking place; they're going to need to modernize and somehow become more competitive as a result.
