Mr. Chairman, I know that the hon. gentleman has a very passionate interest in this subject. I dealt with one dimension of it when I was House leader in terms of the answering of questions so I understand his interest and sincerity.
The information I have before me is that the value of the assets that would be remaining in that particular warehouse would be something less than $1 million and that they have been disposed of in the proper manner for proper value received.
I will undertake the commitment this evening, even though I have not had a chance yet to fully explore this issue, to review it with my officials. Previous questions and answers notwithstanding, I will do my very best to provide as much information as I possibly can to alleviate the concern that the member has expressed.
My understanding is that there is nothing at all untoward about these circumstances, but because of the member's persistence on the subject I will try to be as forthcoming as I can as rapidly as I can as soon as I have the details.
