Mr. Speaker, this statement indicates that we as a government are maintaining the levels of service that people in the Northwest Territories have enjoyed over the past year or so. When we say that though, we are not saying that we do everything exactly the same as it was last year. There are some changes. They will probably find changes in every department, so I do not think we can take this statement out of the budget address to mean that we are doing everything exactly the same way.

In saying that, the service levels that our government and programs that we provide are essentially the same. Now there are some things we have reduced. Our capital program, for example, has been reduced by $10 million. So we have made those kinds of adjustments as we go along. There are other areas where we have made increases. I can say that in principle, we have maintained the same level of services and programs as people have enjoyed in the past, but not exactly the same. Thank you.
