Mr. Speaker, to answer that question, I think I would have to go check the history of this issue. It is almost ancient history by now. Under the previous government, there was a policy that the leader of the opposition must be familiar with, the Baie Comeau policy, requesting from American concerns acquiring Canadian book publishing companies that they make sure that these remain under Canadian control.
At the time, it was understood-and deals were made under this policy-that if a policy change occurred, then purchases made by the Canadian government under this policy would be cancelled, and the property sold back to the American owner. That is the Baie Comeau policy.
Later on, the Conservative government decided to change its policy and, therefore, fulfilled the commitments it had made. That government has now moved to the other side of this House, and we are delighted about that, but we have inherited contractual obligations that we have to fulfil.
