Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, seeing as how it is Friday, I am going to take a light-hearted approach to my Member's statement. Mr. Speaker, after listening to the Premier's speech in January to the public, then listening to the Finance Minister's budget address, the phrase made famous by Timon and Pumbaa from the Disney movie The Lion King, Hakuna Matata, comes to mind. For those not familiar with the movie, similar meaning is found in the Bobby McFerrin song, Don't Worry, Be Happy.
Mr. Speaker, all looks rosy from this budget address.

The Finance Minister paints a picture that we must move forward. As my colleague Mr. Delorey said, we have seen unprecedented expenditures. As it looks, and as the people have heard, Mr. Speaker, we must look forward to a prosperous new year.
With that, Mr. Speaker, I look forward to seeing the Finance Minister use the phrase Hakuna Matata a little more often. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
