Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On the east coast, the Maritimes, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, they are presently developing a campaign to look at the fairness and equity of revenues that flow to Ottawa compared to what flows back to those jurisdictions. They have been working with the Senate to see if there are ways to ensure that the majority of those revenues stay within those jurisdictions, especially from resource development such as oil and gas and what is happening offshore. I would like to ask the Minister exactly what are we doing to deal with such a situation where we can try to get a fair distribution of wealth here, where we do not see all the royalties, revenues and taxes flowing to Ottawa?
