Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am no magician either of saying, well take it from here or there, but that was not my point. My point is that new programs have been introduced in the past without adequate funding. I think that is the area I am concentrating on is why do we do that. I guess my message to the Minister is, let us not get into a situation of introducing new programs and we do not provide the funding because we know ahead of time that they will fail. I would like to take the Main Estimates the same as the Minister and say, well take it from here or there, but we cannot do that and I appreciate that, but I am not sitting over there introducing the programs. I am sitting over here saying that was wrong. I would like the Minister to address the question of, will he introduce any more new programs without further funding? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
