If my honourable colleague is relating to the fact that we may move forward with the changes in the Financial Administration Act and the fact that we are moving forward with some public/private partnership in capital spending, how is that going to impact overall on the fiscal framework of the government? We would have to do it in a manner that met the fiscal targets that we set over the next two years. Certainly for any of us including my colleagues across the floor, we have to work hard to make sure that when we leave office, we leave the books in good order for not only the next generation but for future generations. Any spending has to be done in the context of the overall fiscal framework in the government and the Deficit Elimination Act, and the commitments we have to it. I hope that answers the question.
