Thank you Mr. Speaker. I want to caution my honourable colleague, and it is not often I would do this, but I have spoken to him on a number of occasions of the seriousness of the budget elimination strategy and the impact that has on people's lives. And I want to show him in this House and the public at large that there is no inflated component to the budget strategy. When you are dealing with a billion, two hundred million dollars flaws either way take place on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. So if we are going to discuss the budget, and we are going to stress the overall deficit elimination strategy, then I want my honourable colleague, who I know is a very serious MLA, to understand that when he speaks in relationship to it, he should speak in a very sound, solid, concise way and not trivialize the issue. Thank you.
