Mr. Speaker, my colleague must have been involved in the drafting of the call letter I sent out to the Ministers and to the deputy ministers. That is the approach we want to take. We have a model; we will use the status quo for the time being, because that is what we have in place in the west. You cannot cost the east without costing the west. You cannot go east unless you go west. The intent is for us to cost both of these as we move forward. We have consensus now on an acceptance of the NIC model, subject to our position, of course, and subject to the federal government providing adequate resources and, more importantly, adequate incremental resources to move forward on this creative decentralized model that we all support. Thank you.
