Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are two main actions which we are taking. As the Member knows, the Prime Minister has committed that we should be the primary beneficiaries and, following that, there has been the two reports on fiscal imbalance; both of them sided with our government. Following that, Minister Flaherty has indicated that he's meeting with the Finance Ministers in December and at that time it is expected that he will be putting forward a proposal on territorial formula financing. So, Mr. Speaker, that will be the first action on that front.

Mr. Speaker, the other one has to do with devolution and resource revenue sharing. Clearly, these two are high. We cannot accept program responsibility without the revenues to be able to afford to pay for those programs. Mr. Speaker, we've made that known. The federal government have appointed a new federal negotiator for devolution. I have met with him and my indications from him is that he has a broader mandate than the previous federal negotiator, David Peterson, and his mandate will go into some of the areas regarding the fiscal side as well. So I expect our negotiators to be getting together soon. I don't have a date, but I know that they have talked. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
