Mr. Speaker, I hope that we are able to conclude negotiations for a new financing formula within the life of our government. The new formula will come into affect on April 1, 2004. In my meeting with Minister Manley I suggested to him that we would like to aim toward having the main elements of the formula concluded by sometime in September. I do not know if we can achieve that with this negotiating process, but we are aiming to have it done this fall. Thank you.
