Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I'm not as optimistic as my colleague over there that we're going to come to any compromise. The issue of the remailers, to me at least, is pretty black and white: either Canada Post asserts its exclusive privilege, or the remailers continue on with their business as they have before. That one's pretty clear. I don't see where you find compromise in that position.
Be that as it may, I am aware of a comment that Mr. Bell made, and I took note of the fact that he apparently will not be here on Monday. That concerns me. He made his views known very forcefully and has taken a pretty strong position in favour of the remailers and the employees they support. That would be my concern if we suspend or adjourn until Monday. I would love to hear from Mr. Bell before I make any decision on that.
