I just want to make it clear for the record that when the Member is talking about accumulated deficit, he should not be adding $11.5
million accumulated deficit with the
outstanding payroll amount. The accumulated deficit of $11.5 million takes into consideration all of the outstanding receivables and payroll.
In terms of the question about why we’re letting this happen, nobody’s letting anything happen. The important question is that the government and the authority and everybody interested wants to know is what is causing the deficit situation, whether or not the organization is being underfunded, where there’s a need for rebasing, or whether we should be looking at different ways of delivering programs and doing a cost-in-program review, which is precisely what the authority and myself and the Cabinet are engaged in.
