On December 19th, Mr. Harper made a commitment to eliminate the fiscal imbalance. He repeated that commitment in the throne speech, and you repeated it in the budget speech. What kind of work has the department done on this? How far along is the process? What do you see happening between now and the next budget? We expect to see significant measures in the budget that you will be introducing in late winter or early spring. I would like to have an explanation from you on that.
On November 9th, 2006. See this statement in context.
