Frankly, that is a very good question. Mr. Chairman, there is no flexibility. The reality is, we have a very limited flexibility. That is why I have spoken at some length on the pay equity issue, and I hope our partners in the process, the UNW, recognize that. There has to be an affordable arrangement. That is a negotiated arrangement that hopefully we can make. My honourable colleague is right. If that is a large number, I shudder to think what kind of steps I have to make with my colleagues to find that money. I am hoping that common sense will prevail, and we will get an affordable, negotiated solution to that, prior to April 1, 1998, which is about six months away.

On the acts of God, I mean, I cannot do anything about that. That belongs to somebody else. Whether it is forest fires or natural disasters. Wiser men and women than me, understand that issue better than I do. I would only say to my colleague that I have had many sleepless nights trying to figure out how we are going to get ourselves out of this fiscal mess. I am personally relieved at the position that we are in. I feel an enormous amount of responsibility for the pain we created to a lot of people. But the reality is, we had to do it. I hope that in the time that we have left, that we do not have to do it again. Thank you.
