I would like to commend the Minister, and I would also like to encourage him to take every step necessary to either utilize vehicles from the public service, whether they be taxi service or whether they be rental units as opposed to purchasing new government vehicles. There is a perception by the public in the time of fiscal restraint that it is still okay for the government to purchase new vehicles. I guess the same concerns I expressed in respect to renovations of office accommodation can be applied here with new vehicles. Any other significant measures that you can take in respect to justifying the need for new vehicles or to be able to address avoiding purchases of new vehicles should certainly be considered and utilized.
