The last time I heard about “the devil’s in the details,” I made a comment, and somebody had clipped that piece and put it into another part of what I’d said, so I must be careful in my response.
I did hear the Member tell me I needed to heed his warning, so I’m here to respond in a positive fashion. There are a number of us who have lived through the past Assemblies. For example, in the ’95-’96 days, the government of the day was taking
$150 million out of the process and made some very drastic decisions at that point, and some would say we have not quite fully recovered from those. That’s why we do have to look at what’s being put on the table to ensure we’ve measured all the impacts of that. That’s why we’re going to need more time than we would normally require as we begin our business planning process.
