Mr. Chair, as the member knows, ultimately our government decided to follow the recommendations of the O'Brien committee. They were not totally in line with the recommendations of the Séguin report and some would advocate that the Séguin report ought to have been followed. We chose to follow the recommendations of the O'Brien committee, which in fact had been appointed by the previous Liberal government.
It came forward with a principle based equalization program that we were able to implement.
