Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, Mr. Martin was committed to an early date in 1996 to have this new proposal in effect. Let's say maybe he wasn't committed, but he suggested it. But, I think at the last meeting, he indicated to us that he wanted to progress on the issue. So there is no hard and fast deadline. He did make it quite clear that his government, when they were running in the election as Members, had indicated that their policy would replace the GST. It was something referred to in the red book, and he made it quite clear to us that one way or another there are going to be some changes. There's no hard and fast deadline, but certainly resolution on the part of the Minister to change, rename, replace or restructure this particular tax. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
