Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am sorry, maybe my honourable colleague misunderstood me. I was not suggesting that the anticipated deficit would be 97 million dollars this year, I was suggesting to him, for us to meet the Deficit Elimination Act and the compromise that was reached 6 or 7 months ago, it would be a requirement to reduce government expenditures to the total of 97 million dollars, which would then leave us with, as I stated in my speech earlier today, and the Premier said yesterday, with our anticipated deficit of 43 million dollars. Thank you.
