Mr. Speaker, in response to the hon. member I would like to make two points.
He used the term disastrous effect. We are looking at the range of fees all across Canada in all the ports which is not more than 3 per cent of the total fees represented in the shipping business.
I share the hon. member's concern about what impact this is going to have after we have finished with the input and see what effect it will have on the industry. We are in the process of doing two impact studies. I will make them available to the member and indeed to the House.
