The changes in this bill are to provide clarity and certainty to provinces with regard to what's happening after 2013-14. In the act as it reads now, there is no transfer after 2013-14. These changes provide for the future growth of the transfer. The press release that was put out in December 2011 referred to $38 billion by 2018-19. That's a minimum, if you use the 3% floor as you're going out past the end of the 6%. Those are the figures that represent the impact of this change.
