Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I stated, the government is going to have to look at the whole expenditure side, as well as the revenue side, to try to come up with a balance of how much debt we're going to carry and go forward from there. Mr. Speaker, there are some options that are out there that we can look at. Mr. Speaker, our problem right now is that we don't have enough revenues to deal with our fiscal situation. So we're going to have to look at how we can come up with revenues, and if Mr. Allen has some suggestions for areas that we can look at that would create some more revenues then we would gladly take that into consideration.

In reference to Bill C-48 that was dealt with by the federal government and responds to concerns raised by the industry in the resource sector. They have undertaken some initiatives and I'm not very familiar with that area, but we'd have to look at that. My immediate concern in preparing for our next step in bringing main estimates forward for this Assembly is to look at the level of expenditures versus our revenue side. As I stated in my Minister's statement, in fact we do have a problem and the gap is widening between the revenues we have and the expenditures.

So right now we haven't looked at any specific exemptions. We have looked at a number of other areas, but not any exemptions. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
