The one thing that's going to be taken into consideration throughout is, how many cabinet ministers can you have from Alberta?

The one thing we had to play for now is a winning record. To be able to rally like we have the last couple of days and ensure us a winning record, it's pretty good.

The one thing you have to have is patience, ... You just can't rush everything. I use myself as an example. The last couple of years have been great, but it took some time to get up to that point.

The only concern I do have is I'd like to see a couple more months (of data) put together here before we declare this torrid, hot economy as into another phase of gearing down. I'm not as optimistic yet that we have slowed everything.

The only disappointing part is that my holiday at home has been cut short by a couple of weeks due to some schedule changes that require me back in India earlier in January than I was hoping for.
