Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I get the same frustration. I would really feel terrible if we were the only ones being treated that way, but I can tell you that is the pattern right across the country with every jurisdiction. I think all of us, as Premiers, are frustrated with getting these little short-term, one-time buy-offs and

never getting a longer-term commitment, whether it's resource revenue sharing or a better deal on health funding or post-secondary or whatever it may be that is an agreement that is long term. We all wish we could achieve that but, in the end, sometimes we have to take it step by step and we will get there eventually, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, in terms of where do we all get involved. I've committed this morning to say that I want to work with the Members; I think all 19 of us have to do that. I'd like to work with the chairs of the committees and say, okay look, how do we move this ahead now. We're at a critical point. We still have negotiations going on, but at the same time, we want to turn up the heat a bit more, turn up the pressure a bit more and I'm ready to work with everyone on that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
