Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the Member is well aware that as Cabinet Members, as Members of the Legislative Assembly, people get a lot of requests. The few you hear about today are specific requests for more money for education. Yellowknife wants more money for diamond mines. Someone else wants more money for compassionate travel. There is a constant barrage of requests for dollars. We, as a Legislative Assembly, all 24 of us, agreed to balance the budget in the Legislative Assembly. We have accomplished that. We do not plan on going out and spending more than we take in. We do not plan on going into a deficit. We have very specific direction from this Legislative Assembly that we should operate within a balanced budget, with a given amount of deficit. We plan on finishing our term doing that. Thank you.
