Madam Speaker, I've recommended to Madam Premier and the Cabinet, and they have accepted the fact, that we will not lower our taxes. I now will be suggesting to them that we increase our taxes to backfill the $2 million that we're going to lose. There may be a situation, Madam Speaker, where I might suggest to them that we move into the federal tax room as well and bring prices back to where they were before the announcement by the federal government. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
