Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My understanding, first of all let me clarify, we are predicting. I should have been a little more concise. We are optimistic that we will be able to balance the budget and come in with a small surplus which I said in my speech earlier last week that I intend to put directly toward the accumulated deficit so there is no net gain to the territories. Because we want to ensure on April 1, 1999, not only have we balanced our budget, we want to make sure that the accumulative deficit is at the lowest it can be.

My understanding is the Christmas holidays that we compassionately have put together with our union colleagues was very successful by the employees, and I do not think there would be any desire by the government to change that kind of success. Thank you.
