Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the fact is once a framework is established, that framework will have to be applied when direction is given by either Members of this House to Cabinet to look at spending money in a certain area, or increasing revenues, or looking at increasing mark-ups on, for example, alcohol products, or should we look at a carbon tax. All of those initiatives will have to be run through and analyzed and that information brought back to the table so that decision-makers can make decisions based on the most up-to-date and appropriate information. That's some of the pieces we'll have to look at.
I think even more importantly, and the Member is correct, as we spend as much money as we do in our jurisdiction, we have to be spending it as wise as possible and we have to ask ourselves are we putting it in the right places. That's where that shop would come in when we look into how we spend that money, should we invest more money. In fact, if the new government is inclined to go through a zero-based exercise, that lens can be applied as departments come forward and say well we need this money for this purpose, what does it bring at the end of the day, what value is there in there, and that's part of the process that would be applied through this shop. Thank you.
