The final concern I would like to express during general comments concerns the business incentive policy. We've been through this numerous times and, from the comments the Minister made to us here today, public consultation on the BIP started in November 1994 and at the end of February 1995, they completed the first round of public hearings. He also said that proposals have been developed for presentation to Cabinet and another part of the process is that they will go back to the business community and the public to get comments on the proposal before the policy is finalized.

I would like to ask the Minister if he could elaborate further on the BIP and tell us the time frame we're looking at before we see a final product. Thank you.
