Mr. Speaker, yes, I have heard that figure and I have heard other figures from various provinces. I have heard figures from Quebec with respect to the issue of fiscal imbalances. We are on track.

The finance ministers intend to meet, probably in December, and then moving toward a resolution in budget 2007.
