Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was not recommending that we go to draconian measures that might be required to get us to a balanced budget this year, Mr. Chairman. What I am concerned about though is that we do not continue on our path, counting on getting something that may not appear so we get ourselves so deep into a hole that we have no way of getting out.
I have taken note of Minister Handley's comments yesterday in which he responded to Mr. Krutko again by saying, "I think it is something we all have to take a look at, agree if we do not make some progress in the short-term, in the next six months as Mr. Krutko says, then we are probably going to have a pretty steep hill to climb from here on in, in this Assembly."
So obviously Mr. Handley is somewhat concerned about the future as well. I think that if in the next six months we do not see some positive signs we cannot just continue to get deeper and deeper in debt. There has to be a clear light at the end of the tunnel in order to justify this.
All I am saying is I hope the Minister is looking out for it. I would not want him to work really hard at this, but I do hope that he is watching with an eye towards a plan B if that is the way we have to head.
