Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On the surface this sounds like a good idea, but it almost sounds too simple to be possible, because I’ve sat through enough briefings on fiscal forecasts and negotiations with Canada on our formula and how that transfer is calculated, perversity factors, own efforts factors, so many different things that it’s hard to believe. We have a unique relationship with Canada in terms of how we obtain the majority of our revenues and this is one piece of it. These tax revenues that this motion speaks to, this is just one part of it and I think it is a complex equation. I don’t think it’s as simple as this and I think that if this were possible that somebody would have thought of doing it sooner than now.
I have a lot of questions. I can’t accept this proposal, this idea, on face value because, as I said, I just think it is more complicated than what this motion portrays. So on those grounds, I would have to know a lot more about the implications of this before I could support this motion. Thank you.
