Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have never had an opportunity to attend one of these ministerial conferences, but I have been at other meetings and I do know that there is a lot of networking that goes on between colleagues. I did understand from the Minister in questioning in this House and with the Hansard review, I think I will be proven correct but he did say he would be talking to his federal counterpart but he did not specifically say at that meeting. Following up on that, Mr. Speaker, I would ask the Minister that indeed, when you are looking at $50 or $60 or $70 million coming from the federal government, it would be a major priority of this government and you would hope they would have some discussion on it. When does the Minister finally think we are going to have some closure on how much money is actually going to come from the federal government on the commitment for the two facilities? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
