I'm also a bit of a devil's advocate. Mr. Del Mastro anticipated my question somewhat. This is a community that's swimming in cash. You had Ralph bucks coming out last year; you have massive surpluses; you're about to change monarchies, and it seems to me that here your presentations would have been much more usefully made to the Conservative Party convention. It seems to me the issue is that you don't have enough revenue-raising capacities to meet your needs.
And you hit on a few things, Mr. Wallace, about development taxes and things of that nature.
Is there any conversation going on between the province and the municipalities and the regional health authorities so that you can raise money? There's tonnes of it here, but you don't seem to be able to get at it. It seems to me to be a taxing authority issue rather than coming to the federal government and asking for them. All the federal government does is write one massive cheque to all the provinces and walk away, particularly from health care issues. The federal government doesn't deliver much in the way of health care, other than for aboriginals and things of that nature.
I'd be interested in knowing whether in fact there is any conversation on reallocation of taxing authorities.
