Mr. Chairman, I talked to Mr. Martin before the budget and I mentioned to him again about the things that we have been talking about, the four or five items that we had on the table. He will be back to me quite quickly on where those issues are at, at the present time. Tomorrow, I have a 45 minute telephone call with Mr. Irwin. This issue is going to come up along with health billings again tomorrow. Mr. Todd and I will be in Ottawa during the break and the issue will come up again. I am hoping that, one way or another, we can have this thing resolved in the next six months. I should say that if, by August, we haven't made any progress, then it is going to take something a lot more than just talking to those people to make them understand. I'm thoroughly sure that we are going to be listened to. Whether they will make any changes, Mr. Chairman, I can't say.
