Thank you, I guess I would like to return to my question. In a time sense, when given the calendars there is a federal election coming up. I think the departments have already started the planning cycle for the 2001-2002 budget year, but you know at some point along that process, will it be November of this year, will it be February of next year? The writing is going to be on the wall, some of the money will be there, some of it will not.

The question is, when is the Minister going to be taking that measure of Ottawa's largess, or lack of it, and come back to us with the good news or the bad? Thank you.
