Mr. Martin, I don't want to get you in trouble. I don't want to get any official in trouble, and I respect the fine line you have to walk.
I'm going to read the quote again. There is a question from Mr. Francis Scarpaleggia:
Thank you. I just want to clarify something. Is there money in the 2006-07 estimates for the ecoTrust?
Then comes the answer from Mr. John Baird, Minister of the Environment:
Those were passed by Parliament before the end of March, and that money has left the federal treasury. That was paid for out of last year's budget, and it has already left the federal treasury, so the cheque is more than in the mail; the cheque has actually been cashed. It was $1.519 billion.
Are you telling us today, sir, this money has not been transferred to the provinces, or can you not tell us?
