Thank you, Mr. Chair. I draw this conclusion only because it just seems as if...and my colleague Mr. McLeod was expressing some of the frustration today on this side of the House, which is it almost seems as if, in the last 20 years, we have been negotiating against ourselves and not going anywhere, yet you made the statement of saying that and now we have more devolution negotiation money. Are we just negotiating for the sake of negotiations? What good faith commitments that we are moving forward on this issue are we getting? If you say that the Prime Minister basically has assured us that we are not going anywhere, yes, we are going to do some funding adjustments, of course, that are potential in the budget, which comes in a couple of weeks, but that being said, what good faith statements and writing do you have that we are going to put an end to this problem? I think the last three or four, maybe even five Premiers and Government Leaders have all said the same thing. This is going to be the government. This is going to be the year. This is going to be the new legacy of our future. So I would like to hear what the Prime Minister is saying about dealing with this problem. Thank you.
