Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance. Last year, prior to our budget session, the plan was to eliminate 100 million dollar deficit in 1996/97, and I think that was achieved. The projection was 50 million dollars for this year, being 1997/98 budget, as a result the Deficit Elimination Act which changed so that we could ensure that this 50 million dollars could be eliminated this particular year. I wonder if the minister could tell us, have the targets of 50 million dollars become inflated?
