Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I am moving the motion to delete the $491,000 because I don't believe I have heard any real compelling evidence from the Finance Minister as to reasons why we would have to spend $491,000, add three PYs to the Department of Finance. Like I mentioned earlier in my opening comments, I find it very ironic that the Bureau of Statistics has just recently been reassigned to the Department of Executive and, again, I think it's not a coincidence that this macro economy research policy division is looking to be added in the Department of Finance. Therefore, I move that we delete the $491,000 from the appropriation act. Thank you.
