Thank you. I am committed to maintain a balanced budget and that if we are to incur a deficit, we must demonstrate that we have the means of getting out of it and a plan that would be acceptable to Members of the Legislature. I have no difficulty, I have been there for the last three years, along with everybody else and I have gone through the pain of cutbacks. It is not one that anyone in this Legislature is ever interested in doing again. When I arrived here, making some very difficult decisions, I would not be wanting to go back into a situation where we would have to do this type of exercise again. Thank you.
