Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind the hon. member of one very important development.
A few months ago the provincial premiers assembled in St. John's, Newfoundland to discuss social reform. At that time they established a special committee of provincial ministers who were to come together to develop a common position. Once they had arrived at a common position, they would then sit down with myself, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Health and other ministers to discuss those issues.
They have not arrived at a decision yet. They have not concluded their discussions. They have not decided what their position will be. I said at the time that when the council of ministers on social security reform was prepared to meet I would be there. They are not prepared yet, but as soon as they are ready I will be at the table.
