Through you, Mr. Chair, I would hope that the whole fiscal imbalance issue will be resolved. In Nova Scotia, our premier has committed to continuing any dialogue that may be necessary to resolve it. But nobody can resolve it except the federal government at this point in time. How it's going to shake out in the final analysis will depend on further dialogue. I know there are some areas of the country that don't seem receptive to discussing it any further. But in talking to our provincial officials, I know there's still interest in pursuing it.
