I am not so sure that I can give my honourable colleague that kind of assurance. I guess what I am saying is depending on what consensus is reached on the action plan necessary to put the fundamentals of government in place by April 1, 1999. Once that is determined you can name costs that course of action. You know what I am saying? It could be in an ideal world. It could be, but I would be reluctant to give a definitive answer on something that is so fluid right now because we still have not got to the table. We have not seen the Interim Commissioner's transition plan. They know what ours is. The federal government, there is more than one player at the table. I think he is trying to reach a consensus on a course of action. Once that is reached. You cost it. You say to the federal government you have to pay it. I am fairly confident that can happen. I am fairly confident that at the end of the day, the federal government will pay for it. Thank you.
