Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In reviewing the bill, there were some concerns regarding the item under resource management and economic development, $1.5 million in financial assistance to Royal Oak Mine in exploration and development. There was concern raised by myself in the committee, especially with this large amount of money being allocated as financial assistance and the precedent that it will set for other major resource developers to come forth to this government for such assistance, yet we state we do not have funds available in this government to assist in our expanding costs in the social envelope, especially in the area of education. I would like to make that aware, I do have concerns on that. Also, regarding the large expenditure on the forest management side of $9 million. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
