Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the Minister talking about an annual basis, a global basis, but, Mr. Speaker, this crisis wasn't here a year ago. This is why I'm stressing that we need action today to avert the crisis of the spending we're going to need to do and make up and borrow in the new year. Mr. Speaker, bills are doubling, oil and fuel bills are doubling. Mr. Speaker, I need some type of commitment that we will do this up front before we get the bills. We'll turn down those lights. The Legislative Assembly glows all night long. Let's turn those lights down. This affects every school. This affects every power plant. This affects everything that we do. Mr. Speaker, can I get some type of commitment that we're going to start dealing with this up front, now. We can do it now before these oil bills come in. We can do it now before these power bills come in. Let's be proactive, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
