Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good afternoon. Mr. Speaker, we are not presently investigating any new revenue options. Most of the Finance Ministers have done that. Mr. Ballantyne and his tax options paper in the late 1980s consulted with the Northwest Territories and outlined all the revenue initiatives that were available to us at that time. We have gone back over those documents and looked over them again. We will be making some suggestions to the Financial Management Board to get direction from them on which ones they want to investigate further. We will be asking departments if they have any ideas. At the same time, we will be asking departments if there are any ways to cut back. So right now everything is on the table and the Financial Management Board has not given me direction on what they wish to have investigated further. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
