Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will be supporting the motion. I believe we do have to consider putting in some policies or regulations to control the spending of this government, especially when it comes to the end of fiscal year, where we find there are surpluses where it seems to be a real spending spree, where people take this mad money and try to spend it before it runs out, so they do not have a surplus. This is not the way we should be running our monies. We are always being told by the Minister of Health and Social Services, show me where you can get new dollars. This is one small way we can identify those surplus dollars and put it into education and health. It is critical that we give direction to the Cabinet and the Ministers so they realize we have identified an area where they can consider looking at new sources of funding. With that, I will be supporting the motion. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
