Mr. Speaker, it was my decision to postpone the meeting. It was not dictated by any province. I just felt if we are going to reach agreements and if we are going to have a good climate of co-operation then we should give one province, several provinces or whatever the time they feel is necessary.
We had a useful agenda in front of us. We were going to be meeting with the aboriginal groups. We were going to be looking at some of the strategic initiatives. We were going to put in place an agenda for the reform of the child care system and get those started. However, those are all items we can continue.
As I said yesterday, I will be recommending that we have a meeting of senior officials within the next week or so. We can discuss how a further ministerial meeting can get the process under way and we can make sure that all the provinces feel they can be a full part of the process.
