Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I will be supporting this bill because I feel that if this is the government's response to this Assembly's request to address the shortage of jobs and economic opportunities of this territory, if the government feels this is the type of action that is necessary to get the people to work, I am in support of this. As the other Members have stated, we have in the past two years seen a great reduction in the capital expenditures of this government. As we all know, we have no other way of increasing the funding for capital without cutting our programs and services. Therefore, if Cabinet feels this is the way to go, I will support it. Thank you.
