Those are some of the issues we are going to be raising as part of the strategy and the direction that we want to take in the negotiations for a new agreement. Any advice that we can receive from Members as to how and what we can do in terms of allowing us to manoeuvre the dollars in future, will only be helping us in signing a new agreement. I want to say though, that the 1984 agreement -- which I was a party to and, in fact, was involved in negotiating -- allowed us a broader ability to move funds around rather than the one we have at this particular moment. They've narrowed down our ability to move money as we were previously allowed to do, without, necessarily, the consent of the federal government. The present agreement restricts our ability to manoeuvre the money and I appreciate the concern that the honourable Member has raised.
