Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to jump right at this. We sure don't get much time to ask questions; we try to get as much as we can out of it.
One of the points Mr. McCallum made was in reference to comments Mr. Ignatieff has made. One of the concerns in Ontario that a lot of us have had, in the province I've lived in my whole life, is the impact the separation or the sovereignty of Quebec would have on the eastern provinces. This week-end he was certainly talking a lot about nation building in Quebec, and from an economic perspective.
Could each of you give us a perspective on what type of impact that would have on the east, especially here in Newfoundland?
