Well, I would hope to try and get it done as quickly as we can. Certainly in an ideal world I would like to do it while session is on. I am not making excuses for it, but my deputy minister and his staff have got a workload that is significant right now with division, formula financing, et cetera. I am optimistic that we can conclude the policy paper which shows the changes in place as a guide to our bureaucracy to operate under, hopefully, by the end of February but certainly if not, April 1, 1998.
