Mr. Speaker, indeed in my responsibility as minister responsible for FedNor, I have already had a discussion with the mayor of Timmins to, on a go-forward basis, deal with how we can best help that community in the state of this terrible loss of jobs. I would say to the hon. member opposite, he demands that we live within the law. We are living within the law and the hon. member is trying to get me to defy the law, which I will not do. That is not good for anybody, least of all Canadians.
