Thank you Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker I did not mean to trivialize or get into a debate with the honourable member, but he just rubs me the wrong way. My supplementary question, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker the result of the deficit as we have learned over the last nine months is from continued cuts to our base from the Federal Government which was announced in the 1995 Federal Budget. My question for the Honourable Minister of Finance is "Is there any indication from the Federal Minister, Mr. Martin, from Mr. Todd's two wonderful meetings with him, if we are going to be cut again for fiscal 96/97? I hope that is not too trivial.
