Thank you, Chair. Thank you, witnesses.
As you know, this briefing on the Nova Scotia accords has been on again, off again, on again, off again. I know it's a great frustration to Mr. Casey. It's rather a pity that he's not able to be here.
You put into your schedule (S), “Fiscal Equalization (Part I – Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act)”, $1.2 billion, which I assume reflects the costs that are associated with Nova Scotia's new money. For the purposes of this hearing, can you outline to us in rounded numbers, if you will, what Nova Scotia was going to get under the original accord, what Nova Scotia is now going to receive under this clarifying agreement, and what are the assumptions, if any, underlying both agreements?
