Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wouldn't argue that with the Premier, but I think the other part of that is debatable in terms of government growth. It's very interesting if you watch the progression of the budget how certain departments might lose positions and then miraculously they're replaced with other positions. Any chance this government -- and I've watched it the last two-and-a-half years -- has had to make substantial changes in the size and growth of the public service, it's chose not to do it for whatever reason, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to ask the Premier, how do we tackle this issue? How do we get more money into people who actually need it on the ground? I'm not saying no to subsidies, Mr. Speaker, and I'd like the Premier to answer that question. Thank you.
