Thank you, Mr. Speaker. With the support of all the Premiers, we will hope that the Prime Minister will show some consideration to this. I think the Member is right; up to now he has said that he's not going to step into it. But I think if we get a letter, that one is being drafted now, for the chair of the counsel and federation, then he may still be convinced.
Mr. Speaker, as well, as I said earlier, we are also asking our departments that have mandates within the areas that are affected to take a look at how we deliver our programs and are there ways of us being able to work with the groups like the Literacy Council or the French literacy group as well. Are there ways of us doing things a little bit differently? But, Mr. Speaker, we are really reluctant to just step in every time the federal government pulls out of something or they'll continue to do this to us all the time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
