Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I, as well, have concerns about the supplementary appropriation. Based on the spending habits I have seen so far, I do not share the Minister's optimism that there, in fact, will be any lapses, that if the money is given, it will be spent. I also know with a budget the size of the Executive's, knowing government and knowing how programs are set up, there is slippage and fudge factors built in all over the place to move that kind of money around to be able to do things. The issue to me is very clear. If this goes through the way it is, we are basically agreeing to all the things that caused me such concern in the interim appropriation, which the Executive recognized by making the motion to cut $100,000. We are going to set the foundation. I do not think this is too big a contradiction.
I also have the continued problem of leading by example. Spending this kind of money is over and above when we look at the interim appropriation. It has 18 percent deliberate growth and tells the people we are deferring $10 million in capital. We have no money for adult education programs. The municipalities are on notice that there will be cuts coming. For us in the Legislature and in the Executive to say do as we say, not as we do, we will spend and you show restraint...it is too much for me, Mr. Chairman, and it is unsupportable. I think there has to be some demonstration that they have heard. They have heard on one hand with the interim appropriation but they want to lock it in by having all the key pieces in the supplementary appropriation. I, as well, have significant concerns about the Executive portion of the supplementary appropriation. Thank you.
