Mr. Speaker, the figures I have for Saskatchewan in the 1997-98 budget are that 12.8% of the provincial budget came from federal transfers.
I suggest Saskatchewan is one of the provinces learning that it is better to have self-autonomy, a good healthy economy and to join the have provinces in an economy that stimulates job creation and sees the benefits of not being reliant on a federal government to provide it with money but rather on its own ingenuity, its own progress and its own economy.
