Greetings All.

It appears that the child in all of us will have to anticipate the trip
to the ice cream store for just a little longer.

I have just hung up on a telephone call from Ottawa wherein I was
advised that the announcement we have been waiting for from Industry
Minister Allan Rock has been further delayed.

The announcement will now come on Thursday January 23, 2003.

I was given an explanation for the delay that is too lengthy and
convoluted to repeat here. I was assured that the problem is not
political, but is the result of some bureaucratic technicalities. There
are apparently some procedural "T"s to be crossed and "I"s to be dotted
to ensure that no one (read Chief Statistician) can come after the fact
and claim foul.

I am assured that these technicalities will not affect the content of
the announcement. As before, I was advised that when it is finally
made, everyone will be very happy with the announcement. I have had
some small hints here and there that lead me to believe this will be the
case.

Have patience for a few more days, I believe the wait will be worth it.

Happy Hunting.
