Mr. Speaker, there has been no announcement and no approval of ferry rate increases for Marine Atlantic. There have been consultations between the management of Marine Atlantic and the trucking industry in Newfoundland about the costing regime, given the fact that there has not been an increase for about four or five years. There has been no approval granted. Therefore my colleague the Minister of Veterans Affairs was entirely correct.
In the House of Commons on May 1st, 2000. See this statement in context.
