Hope this will do to give you a better idea of the whole thing. Thanks again!

Sorry Cas for butting in. With you living in Japan, it might also help to add a small "detail" that's obviously missing here: our recent corruption scandal regarding the liberal governmnet. The liberals managed to funnel millions of tax $$$ into government contracts and that went on unnoticed for a long period of time. Now that people caught onto it, they want Martin to give them back what he took away from them. It's a huge blow to Martin and his cabinet.

that's for fairness in dealing with the $23-billion gap," McGuinty said.

It simply means, " that's for the sake of being fair = so Prime Minister, act responsibly and give us back what you owe". I am sure HarakiriBlade (whose English is superb) will be happy to find out that Ottawa and Ontario has just signed a child-care agreement worth 270 million dollars.
