Thank you, Madam Chair. We know for the upcoming budget year of 2006-2007, that amount will be fixed in legislation and escalated by 3.5 percent. So we know that one. For 2007-08 and beyond, ultimately it will come down to what the federal government will do with this expert panel report and what changes they might be willing to incorporate in the new deals that would come down. So to speculate beyond '07-08, timelines could very well mean, depending on what recommendations or the negotiations between provinces, territories and the federal government, we could look at another year extension, but it's hard to say at this point. It really will come down to how the federal government will deal with that report when it's delivered to them. Thank you.
