Mr. Speaker, I cannot speak for the chairman of the Power Corporation board, but as I said, under direction from Cabinet, we were working and trying to come up with a formula that would work since October, 2001. In June, or sometime there, we concluded that this did not seem to be working. It did not seem saleable for us to take it forward, along with the other recommendations in the Robertson report.
At that point, we ceased our work in terms of the recommendations in the Robertson report, including the one-rate zone.
Now, in doing that, I do not know whether Mr. Stewart, the chairman of the board, had really made his decision. He may have, I do not know, in June, of whether to go with community-based zones or a single-rate zone. He had to collect all of the information anyway, and very well may not have, in his own mind, really made a decision.
I know the Power Corporation board met in August for their strategic planning session. I believe, and I would have to confirm it, but I believe that meeting some time in August was when they decided which direction they were going to go. Thank you.
