Mr. Speaker, they have to make a decision at some point in time is the short answer to that. That is what happens with decisions. There has to be a choice at some point.
When the choice is made, when they decide which is in their best interest, and they will have before them those figures in their budget documents, they will have to decide if they want to take this more beneficial system or if they want to remain under the Atlantic accord. Those discussions are taking place.
Clearly there is a benefit in both. The province of Nova Scotia, just like Newfoundland and Labrador, will have to calculate those figures. There is an infrastructure advantage. They can look at those figures and decide which is best for the people of Nova Scotia.
I should have added, Mr. Speaker, that I am splitting my time with member for Avalon, who is taking the second part of this speaking time.
