Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am going to read this section in this Hansard. It says, "Mr. Speaker, I could tell you, though, that we should not hold out our expectations that there will be a resource revenue sharing deal in the 2007-08 budget. When I met with the Prime Minister last week, he told me that it was premature, that he wasn't going to be able to deal with that part, but he would deal with the fiscal imbalance..." blah, blah, blah, "but basically I don't see..." -- I am skipping over a few sections -- "basically, I don't see a resource sharing deal." So, Mr. Chair, in light of that, those were the words from the Premier yesterday about no resource deal on devolution, et cetera. Why do we have $500,000 being spent on devolution negotiations if we have no expectations of a devolution or resource deal concluded in the near future? Thank you.
