Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, following up on an earlier question by Mr. O'Brien on where we could find the money, the $25 million and $9 million which is $34 million in the $6 million he is hoping to include, $40 million. I just went over the budget that was approved yesterday. I could not find any line item for the $40 million. However, I do recall the Minister telling Mr. O'Brien that we can get it in the supplementaries, but I also remember the Finance Minister saying that the supplementaries are the exception rather than the rule. I am wondering, how does the Minister anticipate massaging the budget to the point of finding an extra $40 million? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
