Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Appreciating these tough fiscal times, governments have to get revenue. I note in the budget speech, Mr. Speaker, that there are several initiatives. I've got no problems with the mark-ups on liquor and liquor licensing, Housing Corporation proposals to raise rents of those people who can afford it, and perhaps when I understand it better, even the cost of health and some fees being increased.

However, since the Minister has indicated that the big challenge ahead of us is, in fact, to develop our economy and, he says, to become more self-sufficient in this budget, that we must aggressively promote economic development because we have to get more self-reliant, why is it that he is, in fact, increasing charges for Economic Development and Tourism services and also including extra costs for those services and even including increased costs for business licences and professional development fees? Those are the things, in fact, that will help us to promote our economy. These seem to be contradictory. Why has he done that?
