Mr. Speaker, I cannot believe the member would say something like that when the operator of the ferry will be in my department tomorrow negotiating a five year deal. We are now about to negotiate and sign a five year deal for that ferry. We will ensure that we have a fair deal and we will not negotiate in public. However, we have a commitment for five years for the ferry and we will deliver.
In the House of Commons on March 7th, 2005. See this statement in context.
