Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the budget that you see before you remains the same. There will be some minor adjustments. There may be some write-down required with the settlement of the health billings dispute. I am not sure on that. I haven't got all the numbers yet. The budget that you have before you right now for this fiscal year, 1995-96, will remain the same.
The problem, Mr. Speaker, is going to occur in 1996-97. That is where we lose $58 million again from the amount that we would have normally received in that particular year in the grant from Canada. That will put the next government, in putting and O and M and capital budget together for 1996-97, in the bad position of having to look at a $100 million shortfall in that fiscal year.
So, Mr. Speaker, Cabinet has been wrestling with the approach to take with the next government. If we don't start to look at some measures now, we may just be bringing that government up against a really hard wall. Cabinet has requested and received documents that spell out to them all the programs and revenue in some detail at the task level. Cabinet is reviewing those Ministers individually. We will be meeting shortly to look at those particular things to see if there is something we should be doing between now and the end of our term, in order to prepare the next government for at least having a shot at balancing the budget. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
