Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I should also state that I do understand that our employees need to travel to a certain extent. We like to see them in communities and I know a lot of them are required to travel to do their job. But when we think of the fact that we are trying to introduce legislation that would increase taxes to raise $1 million, we shudder at the thought of raising taxes to collect $1 million. When you see a travel budget of $22 million you have to think about what your priorities are.

Mr. Speaker, I have a question about the way the government keeps track of the travel budget. As the Minister indicated, under RWED where there's $10 million allocated that was spent for travel last year, $7.5 million of that is for fire suppression and fire suppression travel requirements. Now I'm wondering, why are things like that included in the travel budget when there's already a different category or division for fire suppression? Why are you keeping your books this way? Can it be done any better? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
