Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the information we provided shows that the deficit situation or surplus situation fluctuates. Unfortunately, we do have a number of years where there is an operating deficit and it grows into accumulated deficit and continues to grow. We have worked with authorities on the program where if there is a projected deficit and it is realized at year end that there is a 50 percent, we will work with them to try to fund it. They would be asked to look at their expenditures and come up with 50 percent of that plan through the budget that they would be approved with. One of the other things we have looked at is the actual process that we have worked with in cooperation with the Department of Health and Social Services, Financial Management Board Secretariat, and Stanton Territorial Health Authority, is looking at the spending requirements
and looked at a program to do a base review of the expenditures. With that information, then we would be able to do better planning around budget development. Thank you.
