In this job you have to be optimistic, otherwise it would wear you down. I am sure that other Finance Ministers feel the same way. Let me say that our projected revenues were in the range of $28 to $30 million, in terms of what we anticipate from the sale of staff housing. That the sale of staff housing was a two process, that we were looking for $13 million this year, and $17 million, next year. I believe we are on target. I am optimistic, as I said, that we will sell the staff housing, one way or the other, so I think the long and the short of it is, Mr. Speaker, is that yes, it is $30 million that we were anticipating. It was expected that we would get the revenues over a two year period. We are confident that we can get it and we are also confident that we meet the targets that we collectively set in the Deficit Administration Strategy. Thank you.
