Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, I think that we want to make it clear that the Premier was very clear, in his statement he made earlier in the last session where he said there would be no further layoffs. I think that is all I would do is reiterate that position as the Finance Minister and as all my other colleagues are here. There is no strategy in place to do any of that kind of thing, we want to contain or keep, if you want, the employees that we have. There is no movement, whatsoever, to let employees go so that we can bring new employees in at a lower pay level. That would be totally unacceptable. It is unacceptable, the Premier said that and the rest of the Cabinet supported it. Thank you.
