Mr. Chairman, I think the Member is wrong on the two fronts that he is trying to follow. One is, if he is saying that the government is breaking a policy. One, he says that there is no policy, I think that was the original question. What I said is that the privatization initiative is one that the government in the beginning decided that it was part of its Deficit Elimination Strategy, job creation strategy, et cetera. But now they will argue that this policy is in effect, and I have yet to get advice on whether it is or not. If it is in effect, this section 61.11, part 8, does allow us to go ahead with what we are doing. That was my point.
