Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think I understand what my Honourable colleague is saying. I do not want to be offensive by making that comment. We are endeavouring in our business plans and when we make presentations to the Committees to try to explain the Honourable Members and to Cabinet that there has been, wherever possible, a fair distribution of dollars, whether it has been in capital dollars or in some of the reduction programs that we have been working on. I am not quite sure how to answer the question, to be perfectly candid. I think the business plan process will hopefully answer the questions that my colleague wants addressed. I could talk to the staff, I guess, and see if there is some way we can put that in some summary to assure him, and others, that in most cases, we try to be fair and reasonable in terms of whether it is budget restraint or whether it is in capital expenditures. I am not sure whether that satisfies my colleague or not, but that is the best I can do right now. Thank you.
