Mr. Chairman, an issue has come up during the course of this meeting that may or may not have any impact on the debates we've had so far, but I want to take advantage of the fact that the department officials are here. If they're in a position to address this issue, or whether this is going to be addressed by Mr. Jean, that's fine.
There is a voice in the marketplace today that suggests that NavCanada may be in some serious financial difficulties as a result of some investments made in the sub-prime market. I would like either the parliamentary secretary, through the minister, or even the department to give us an indication at our next meeting whether that is in fact the case or whether they can give this committee a sense of the stability of one of the foundation stones of our transportation system.
