Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance also with regard to the budget address. It was very interesting listening to all the feedback that came in following the budget address yesterday in the media and to hear the Finance Minister being interviewed last night on Northbeat and on CBC this morning, and to hear the people's responses on the budget address. Overall, on balance, it seemed like it wasn't that unfavourable.

But nestled in the budget address, kind of in an inconspicuous place under fiscal strategy, it states in the longer term we will need to find an additional $20 million in expenditure savings or cost avoidance in each of the following two fiscal years if we are to balance our budget by 2006-2007, which the Finance Minister clearly indicated he was committed to doing. That is a significant amount of money. We certainly all know as politicians that a lot of our people have a lot of ideas about how this government could spend more money. But, Mr. Speaker, I maintain that those same people also have a lot of ideas about how this government could save money and spend less money in certain areas.

So I would like to know what the Finance Minister has planned in terms of any kind of formal dialogue. Certainly through our constituents and through Members you will get input and feedback on that, but being as we are embarking on what could be some difficult economic times, some difficult fiscal times, does the Finance Minister have any plan to receive and document and respond to those kinds of suggestions which I'm sure people will come forward with? Thank you.
