Mr. Speaker, as the member opposite knows, the government initiated the year 2000 project some two years ago. It has been reported to the House and the Standing Committee of Industry. A number of promotional conferences have been held to get the message to business that it is very important to be aware of what has to be done for the year 2000.
What is very critical is that it is not the year 2000. Many specific points need to be met this fall, this December and next April in preparation for the year 2000.
