Mr. Speaker, the point is being missed here. Most of the matters I have seen reported in the newspapers today were matters which were debated and discussed in various fora over quite a number of months. In many ways what we see today is the culmination of many months of consultation, of discussion and of thought which have been engaged in among members of Parliament as well as in the House.
I know the member is concerned about this because he recognizes the strategic importance of this document. I hope for that reason he will take the opportunity afforded to him to study it, to read it, to make further suggestions. I believe it plays an important part in the gradual unfolding of an active government policy on economic development in Canada.
