I have just a brief comment to make. Although I respect the motion put forth by Members from Nunavut -- he has some valid reasons -- I cannot support the motion. We've talked about freedom of information since 1990. I supported Mr. Gargan's bill in 1990. My constituents now, only very reluctantly, would accept a two-year delay. They would find a four-year delay would mean that we are not serious about this particular bill.

I have made a comment that I am concerned about the cost, but never have my comments meant that I wanted to delay it. A lot of people have made their concerns known to the Minister. The Minister has said that he will do his very best to keep those costs to a minimum. I'm satisfied with that response. So, I will, Mr. Chairman, vote against this motion. Thank you.
