Mr. Speaker, all of our revenues and all of our expenditures have to be looked at in the longer term. We cannot run to the store every time we have a few nickels in our pocket and spend them. If we do that, then we are going to get ourselves in a lot of trouble.

Mr. Speaker, whenever we have new revenues, we have to look at our long-term picture. As I have said to Members before, when we are facing the possibility of an economic recession in Canada, when we are facing the possibility of losing money on our grant, then we have to look long term.

At today's expenditures, we are looking at hitting our borrowing limit some time in late 2004-2005. I have to look at that. I have to look at all of the revenues we get. If we spend the revenues right now, we are going to reach our borrowing limit a lot faster. I am prepared to sit down and go through the fiscal framework with Members any time, review it, get your input. In fact, I would appreciate, any time you want, to do that and get your advice on that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
