Mr. Speaker, as we begin our next round of planning for business plans, all Members of this Assembly are involved in that planning and give direction to Ministers and departments as to what areas we should put more priority on. What it will come down to is, do we have the dollars to expand all of our services at a level that is expected in every one of our communities? For example, we have differences between our communities that are tax-based and some that are in the general taxation area. They have a level of services that are higher than some communities, because the individuals who choose to live in those communities pay a higher level of taxes so they can get that level of service.

We have started the work along the way with our general taxation area, giving them more authority and taxation authority so that they can, as well, go into that area. The problem is they stay in much smaller communities and they don’t have the population to support some of these bigger areas.

Our challenge overall, as Members are aware, is we have had to tighten our belts as a government. The future isn’t any different. We are going to have to continue to manage the growth of government and come up with the best value of investment we can. We are trying to do that even though we have had to tighten our belts as we invest some dollars. That is the challenge to this Assembly as a whole, not just as Cabinet. If we want to change that, then, as the Member said, if there is a will, there is a way.

The will has to come from this Assembly. Thank you.
