Mr. Chairman, the issue here is I support the bill, it's when the province of Alberta, or B.C., or Saskatchewan if they choose to go down to, again, 11 percent, if they go down any lower I guess that would be something that the department would look at in terms of what type of incentives do we have from stopping the migration of corporations in filing in the other jurisdictions? I'm looking forward to the Minister if he has some discussions in the future in terms of our strategy. Right now, I'm supporting this bill, Minister. It's a good bill. I think we are doing what we have to do and I know there's other factors that make a bill the way it is. So I want to say I look forward to where we have a solid foot in terms of our fiscal arrangements, fiscal policy, especially when the National Energy Board or the powers to be grant the approval of the Mackenzie gas project. It is very key now that we're going to have corporations coming up this way here. I'm looking forward to that type of discussion. In general, right now, I support the bill and I think it's a good more. Thank you.
