Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Supplementary Appropriation, No. 3, requests authority for net additional appropriation of $6,296,500. This consists of appropriations for operation and maintenance in the amount of $21,165,500, mainly in Health, Justice and Education, and net reductions in capital appropriations in the amount of $14,869,000. This is mainly due to projects which were delayed this year and which will be carried forward into the 1992-93 capital estimates. The forced expenditures growth in Health, Justice and Education add to our budgetary problems. Although the 1991-92 supplementary funding reserves are exhausted, we have now no alternative but to meet these essential expenditures. The revised 1991-92 deficit estimate is approximately $49 million.
Mr. Chairman, we are prepared to go through the detail of the supplementary funding request and either answer questions or undertake to obtain answers from the responsible Minister.
