Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in following up on my statement about keeping the government accountable in their expenditures, I'd like to ask questions today to the Minister of Finance in regard to the government's travel budget. Mr. Speaker, last Friday Members received information from the Minister on the government travel expenditures. I must say, Mr. Speaker, that I was shocked to see some of these figures. For 2002 and 2003 the government has actually spent $22 million on travel. When you consider in the Minister of Finance's budget address when he stated that in these last five years the operating expenditure grew by $212 million and if the government spends about $22 million on travel every year, that's about $110 million in the last five years just on travel. The reason why we have a deficit is that revenue in that time only grew by $134 million, which would tell us that we're spending most of our revenue growth in the last five years on travel. I'd like to know from the Minister as to whether or not there are any guidelines in deciding what the travel budget of every department is. Thank you.
