Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I thank the Finance Minister for that. But I want to get back to the consultation. I think a $30 million restatement of corporate tax revenue is a pretty substantial thing. I think that it's incumbent upon the government to come back to Regular Members and ask us for an opinion, or consult us on where we think these reductions could happen, instead of just making decisions to go for a one percent across-the-board cut in all the various departments. Sure, the Ministers can handle it, but we had no idea or indication of where those cuts were going to come from. I think it's important, in our style of government, that that consultation take place. So I'll ask the Minister, in the future when there are reductions of that size or magnitude, will he at least just consult with us, ask us what we think? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
