Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wholly support the comments and recommendations made by the Standing Committee on Finance. I also support the comments made by the Minister in his introductory remarks on this department. I'm a little curious, given what was stated in the remarks, why we have to wait another year before we put actual needs into the budget. Last year, 1993-94, there was $1.133 million, for 1994- 95 there is $322,000 and, it is my understanding that for next year, 1995-96, there is $155,000.

I'm really curious why the actual needs, which have been indicated to me to be in the $40 to $50 million range, are not reflected in the documents that are before us. I would just like some comment from the Minister.
