Mr. Chairman, I guess the easiest way to do it would be if all the provinces and territories agreed that they would receive the income tax from the federal government that the federal government collects on our behalf, except for Quebec, of course. If we were to receive the income tax based on the jurisdiction in which it was earned, if that could be worked out and could be the same as the way they are trying to pull down the trade barriers then I am sure that somebody would find some way to criticize it, but it would certainly be a way in which you could say, if the person is earning in your province or territory, then here is the money that he or she paid in income taxes in that particular province or territory. That would be the way to work it out. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
