Mahsi, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I am just sitting here listening to colleagues going back and forth on this $491,000 and creating three positions, debating that the work could still be done from within. It has been done since 1999. Then there is a new horizon on the need to focus on the expert panel. There needs to be a real, true focus. The Minister highlighted that the outcome hopefully will be this spring that the expert panel will decide on equalization and territorial formula financing. This clearly shows that although we are creating three positions, the fiscal policy, this will be a true test to see if the departments will focus on this equalization. So I, too, won't be supporting the motion after deliberation. Mahsi.
