Mr. Speaker, we were quite clear in the budget. We announced the framework in which we wanted our negotiations with the provinces to take place. The hon. member would not want me, I am sure, to make an announcement in this House, quoting figures that we have not even started discussing. Discussions will have to be held with the provinces, and that is certainly what we intend to do.
In the House of Commons on October 31st, 1995. See this statement in context.
