Mr. Chair, I think that in our conversation with provinces, generally, if we wanted to use an analogy it would be more that if you are going to the bank and you are looking for an investment, the bank expects a business plan. In our conversation with the provinces and territories, we are talking not just about this area, but about Infoway, electronic health records, and a variety of other areas. The discussion is, look, we first have to have the business plan before we decide how much money is put on the table. The government has been very clear on its commitment to the $3 billion and to a long-term funding commitment, but we want to focus on what we are going to do before we start putting the money on the table.
