Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am encouraged by that response from the Minister. I wonder, Mr. Speaker, whether or not another alternative would be that this government would use some of the existing surpluses identified in Mr. Todd's Interim Financial Report for the Year Ending March 31, 1998. The government identified a surplus of $61.7 million, which would include $25 million for pay equity. Interestingly enough, Mr. Speaker, it identifies, and I quote, "one of the largest reductions in expenditures was in salaries and wages, which were $33 million less than the previous year." Mr. Speaker, I wonder whether or not we are, in fact, to some degree, balancing or having surpluses based on the backs of the poor and the needy. Obviously, if some of this money could be invested back into the salaries and benefits for the nurses that might be an option. I wonder if the Minister would consider it. If there is some way we could consider putting some of this money back into the salaries and benefits for the nurses? Thank you.
