Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am glad to see that methodology would be something that will be looked at. There are greater mathematical minds in our midst than mine, but I did a quick bit of math here and at five dollars, given the numbers and the occupancy rates, it would suggest that $1.27 million could be raised at a five dollar flat rate. That does not include the lodges. I would like to suggest, probably, some fairly tough negotiations with the lodges because they price their services in a package and not by individual service. So I leave the hotel tax at that one.

On a sort of broader area, Mr. Chairman, the government has adopted a strategy that I am in support of, this continued spending and investing, at least this year, on a status quo basis. I also believe that if we were to engage in a bunch of dramatic cuts to spending services and investment that, given the level of activity and the demands that will be on our systems, we will be hurting ourselves if we cut back now. I think we will just have to redouble our efforts to build capacity as growth overtakes us. So I am satisfied with that strategy for now.

I am also encouraged with the contacts the Premier and the various Ministers have made in Ottawa on things, such as new investment money for highways, for economic development, for the non-renewable resource strategy, and the health program. These are encouraging. We sure hope there is going to be results, but we have had a couple of signals in the last few days or weeks that the federal government may not be all that willing to follow through with this. They pulled back on the Protected Areas Strategy commitment, on things like the Giant miners. It gives me cause to think we had better have a plan B that we should be looking at.

So my question, Mr. Chairman, is at what point is the department going to have to say, "Gee, if Ottawa does not come through with some new spending in these areas, we are going to have to start looking at those cuts." We just have to. My question though is, at what points in a time basis, on a calendar basis, will the Minister have to say, "Gee, Ottawa is not coming through. We are going to have to change our strategy." Could the Minister explore that area? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
