Mr. Speaker, I have absolutely no knowledge of any company that has interfered in the manner suggested by the hon. member.
We had a lengthy period of discussion in Canada which involved a large number of round tables with the participation of companies and others. We then had an announcement by the Prime Minister in June, 18 months ago, that a decision would be made in 2002. The decision was made in 2002. It appears that the schedule was followed as expected.
