I thank Mr. Bryan. Today's newspapers feature reports on a proposal for the overall budget for the multi-annual financial framework, which, if accepted, would make matters very difficult. It is somewhat reassuring to note that the Commissioner is as displeased with the proposal as are the Minister and many others. This is a serious concern and the joint committee will wholeheartedly support the Minister's position on the issue.
