This clause eight, the actual being of coming into force, on April 1, 1992. Today is October 1, I think. Why is it necessary for this bill to assume that it started eight months ago.

Mr. Chairman the Standing Committee on Finance is agreed to this figure, and we believe that the public inquiry can be accomplished for very close to this figure, and we will be rather skeptical of further amounts coming forward.

Mr. Chairman, I hope it is not too skeptical, because I am certainly, with the inquiry that has been held before, that the $250,000 amount is rather short of what was anticipated, which was about $500,000. We know that in this type of inquiry many people have to participate, and many people have requirements, so we have put the $250,000, but we do anticipate that it will be more than that.
