Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, at the meeting, Quebec threw out the suggestion that there could be regional rates, to which Alberta replied, in the west there is already a regional rate between Alberta, the Northwest Territories and the Yukon and that regional rate is zero. So they're working with us and consulting back and forth. When western Finance Ministers meet, we discuss the issue of what our respective positions are. Yes, there's quite a bit of consultation and, of course, there's very little to react to until such time as the larger issue, which is how do you deal with those provinces that are going to experience a shortfall...Until they get past that issue, they won't be dealing in total with us. But we are consulting, Madam Speaker. Thank you.
