Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am going to say once and for all, we are endeavouring to be fair and to be equitable. But nothing's equitable when you're trying to deal with a $150 million deficit. What's equitable if we end up with a $300 million deficit in 1999 as we divide the Territories? Everybody has to make concessions in this deficit elimination strategy. Yes, when we sit down with the union, as we will on April 9th, we will make a sincere effort to be equitable and fair to everybody across the Territories.
