Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is a bigger supplementary appropriation than we are normally used to dealing with. If we look at some of the items in here, they deal with issues that are, more or less, out of our discretion, or our jurisdiction, but we do have to book these things, and they include, as the Minister has already told us, a couple of fairly weighty items here. We are completing the implementation of the new Collective Agreement at about $16 million; there's $20 million booked as the federal government's Northern Strategy trust fund. So what does this Assembly have discretion on? It's about a $17 million amount, arguably.

Mr. Chairman, to drill right into a question, right off the bat, that I would like to put to the Minister, reflects on the grim news that he brought to us earlier today about the $30 million situation, or loss that we are in, because of the unanticipated reduction in corporate income tax revenues coming to us. That is going to change our fiscal situation, even in its current year, quite considerably. Yet, before us, we have a spending bill that, at least in some part, we have some control over. What I wanted to ask the Minister was related to this bad news we got about $30 million. Even though it was only a few days ago, are there any measures that he would like us to consider in terms of what is contained in this supplementary appropriation that might help our situation and alleviate the pain from this unexpected revenue shortfall? Is there anything you can do in this supp, Mr. Chairman, to address that situation? Thank you.
