Madam Speaker, the problem for many years was virtually undetectable because the mutual fund trust was not a significant investment vehicle until 1990. That really was the start of our problem.
In the meantime, our improved system will make it easier to detect any future problems or mistakes. We are reviewing other options to know what we should do. I also want to inform the member that the province of Alberta has voluntarily refunded the overpayment.
We all know the government has a lot of distribution for funding, especially the CHST and the equalization payments. We need the funding to support the other provinces.
