Madam Speaker, I would hope that there would be detailed negotiations and discussions between Ottawa and provincial jurisdictions. Financing is a very important component of it. To try to give an impression that, when we net everything out, there would be a huge cost to society, I would dispute that. I do not agree with that assessment and I do not believe that all reports would draw the same conclusions. At the end of the day, there is a huge cost factor by us not doing it. That is what I would ultimately argue.
As we have been doing from day one, we have to allow things like a standing committee. We had a commission and we allocated hundreds of millions of dollars to try to make sure we did this thing right. I believe that we are getting closer. I would like to think that it is only a question of time. We have been advancing. I look forward to the future and hope we will be able to achieve what I know a majority of Canadians would like to see in all regions of our country.
