Thank you, Madam Speaker, and good afternoon. Madam Speaker, we just don't know how provinces and territories, such as Alberta, the Yukon and ourselves, will fit into this program. There have been some suggestions back and forth about a refund of personal income taxes or a distribution of those funds over and above the five per cent that the federal government would require back to the territorial and Alberta government for redistribution.

There have been a number of casual comments made in that regard. But we are, by far, the least of Mr. Martin's problems. His problems are with those provinces that are going to have a shortfall if he goes through with this particular proposal. It is up in the air at the present time.

I should remind Members that there are now three proposals. Manitoba and Ontario have tabled proposals in this regard as well. So, until the smoke clears and there is some clarification about which proposal is going to take effect and how it is going to take effect, we will continue, along with Alberta and the Yukon, to monitor the situation. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
