Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess my focus is from the start when we took office and moving forward, previous expenditure patterns by government were made on their assumptions of what they might expect and where they could possibly end up and hoping for new sources of revenue. The amount -- I believe you will find it in the budget address -- that the gap between when we first took office, the potential deficit we might have gotten if we didn't change anything and closing that gap from almost $80 million on our revenue side versus the expenditure side to bring it down to where we would come in with a $46 million deficit. As you will become accustomed to as we go through this process, the cycles of budget planning start well in advance of the timeline we are now setting down. We are sitting with the final product before us, but the cycle of budget preparation starts early in the spring, in June. We will be getting back to work here in trying to find the next $20 million, as I have stated in the budget address, and try to find more revenues as well. Hopefully the majority of that with the agreement from Ottawa, but as I have seen here we are taking what we have and starting to work from the aspect of what we have on the books today and, as Ms. Lee stated earlier, if we do happen to come up against some windfalls or new and unexpected revenues then we would truly be in a position to benefit from them.

One of the big impacts that we have had, that was a result and now passed on to us is, for example, the corporate tax situation that is paid to us from the federal government. It is collected by the federal government and then paid to us, and they use prior year's numbers to pay us on the upcoming year. There was a couple of large windfalls made in previous governments, and the federal government used the previous year's numbers and said you know you made this much money in corporate tax in that year and we are going to pay you according to that thinking that that's what would happen. Well, unfortunately that didn't happen. They came in later on in the year and informed us that in fact our corporate tax earnings were substantially lower and we had been overpaid. That is part of the problem now; having to deal with that overpayment and try to adjust our budgets accordingly. Thank you.
