Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question at this time would be directed to the Minister responsible for Finance, and it has to do with the fiscal situation. In the Minister's Budget Address, he refers to the longer-term outlook. Initially, the fiscal picture looks quite good, and my many questions in the past about a debt wall, it no longer seems to be there anymore. It is now gone because the light is so bright, we must wear shades, in a sense.

I would like to know, he does state in his address that in fact, if things do not continue to stay on the rise in the sense of our revenues, we will once again find ourselves in quite a situation around 2004-2005. I would like to know from the Minister why there is such a change in the fiscal situation. Thank you.
