Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Finance. In the Finance Minister's Budget Address, delivered on February 20th, the honourable Minister detailed some of the restraint measures to be undertaken by this government. At the end of the section on restraint measures, in his speech the Minister stated: "In addition to these reductions, Mr. Speaker, there is a very real possibility that further cost cutting may be necessary over the coming fiscal year. We must await the outcome of the federal budget to know precisely where we stand." I would like to ask the Minister, now that the federal Budget Address has been delivered and the Minister and his staff have spent some time analysing the details of the speech, is there a real possibility that further cost cutting may be necessary over the coming fiscal year?
