Mr. Speaker, I cannot believe the hon. member stands in the House with a straight face asking for a freeze indefinitely. There is no freeze on any rate increases or any taxes or any guarantee that could be made by any government. What I have said is that there have been no increases that have been approved.
For the very reasons the member has outlined, we want to make sure that we have extra capacity on the gulf run this summer to deal with the burgeoning tourism industry. We will make that commitment. It will be a good service and will provide all the capacity for everyone in Newfoundland.
