Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The concern has been there on the part of all Ministers and MLAs on the per capita funding that we've used. As we are all aware, the Premier had an opportunity with other Premiers to bring this to the attention of the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister indicated that he also wants something done about the per capita funding issue because it does impact on our government and our funding here dramatically in terms of low funding for our population base. We are bringing this to the table when we are discussing it with the people who are negotiating this particular agreement. Additionally, we are looking at just the issue Mr. Dent has mentioned and the fact that we don't want it taken out of our capital base.
