Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think there is probably quite a bit of anxiety out there now, especially in my community and many communities affected by this shortfall. I think we all understand that the federal government has come up with the money. I wonder if the Finance Minister would be able to tell us today in this House if the federal Cabinet actually has to agree to meet to make up, to approve the extra funding of $100 million, $120 million, $136 million or whatever these transition costs are. Is that a federal government decision to come up with that, from the federal Cabinet itself? Thank you.
