Mr. Speaker, if I might just break a little bit, I believe that it is Mr. Ballantyne's 50th birthday today.

You see, former Finance Ministers do live to the age of 50, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, since before Christmas we have been in negotiations with the federal government with regard to a new formula financing agreement. They have made some suggestions to us. The Yukon and ourselves negotiate at the same time. Last week in a discussion with Premier Ostashek from the Yukon, he is having concerns about the issues that have been put before us by the federal government; we are also concerned. The two jurisdictions are going to get together to discuss these particular issues. If Mr. Martin can tear himself away from the budget round that he is going to do after he speaks today, we might be able to get to him some time before April or May. I would anticipate that we would see a conclusion of those discussions somewhere in August or September, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
