Mr. Chairman, if the committee were to defer or delete this particular item from the budget, I would not proceed by way of special warrant, not having got a clear message from this House that it did not want the money spent. What it would do, though, is put us way behind. Assuming that the Payroll Tax Act will pass this House, then we would not be in a position to start collecting that tax at that time. It will set us back quite a way, Mr. Chairman.
