Thank you, Madam Chair. I can understand the Member's concern. We have an agreement already with the federal government to start negotiations for transitional and incremental costs in March, next month. That is when we are going to start negotiating those costs. Mr. Todd, the Minister of Finance has met with Mr. Paul Martin, Minister of Finance from the federal government, who has agreed to look at incremental and transitional costs. How long those negotiations will go on for, I do not know. We will have a better idea by March or so. We could see what will happen in the very near future, but we do have an agreement to negotiate this very important issue, and we will keep the Members informed as it unfolds. Thank you.
