Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I saved my energy for the budget itself in committee, but my colleague from Hay River North has brought up a very important area, and the Minister of Finance commented that, in fact, a 4.7 percent reduction is going to proceed. It is very clear in the press release that they did state that they are maintaining service levels. In fact, that is not what is happening. We know from the tax-based municipalities there is a reduction. So to get the question going here, is this government in fact maintaining service at current levels? Is there a reduction? Is his press release an accurate press release? Thank you.
