Madam Speaker, Premier Ostashek from the Yukon, who is also the Finance Minister of the Yukon, initially said that he would like to move into the federal tax room. He hasn't said anything lately that I know of. But, I don't know of any other provincial jurisdictions that are considering it and that is what we are doing at the present time. I won't make a recommendation until we've seen the report that our respective colleagues across western Canada and the north have come up with. When that happens, when we see what the implications will be for us, I will make a recommendation to the House.
