Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think the Minister's answer to my question indicated the basic problem. The tariffs we are comparing to were probably negotiated on a Canada-wide basis, and may not be effective up here. I think that we run the risk of driving some northern owned companies into serious financial trouble if we are not careful. Since the Minister has indicated that the tariff is scheduled to be introduced on October 1, I understand the companies have been given until September 15 to react. This seems like a short period of time, and I would like to ask the Minister, will he agree to delay the implementation and the deadline for consultation with northern moving companies by one month, at least, to allow for the companies to respond to the plan, and to ensure that we have a fully informed debate on this issue in this House?
