Mr. Speaker, a previous statement was made by a member of the House. When we questioned the idea of turning this kind of enterprise over to the private sector, the reply was that it was not viable in some areas for
the private sector to do it. That means if it is not viable then it must cost. Why would the private sector not do it if it does not cost?
Does the hon. member agree that if the private sector is saying in some areas it is not viable there is a cost that is recognized by that sector?
