Okay, Mr. Chairman. So I can’t get that clarification before, so I’ll speak in general terms here.

From what I’ve seen of the fiscal frameworks and projections, they were developed with densely rose-tinted glasses. They include projections that we’ve never achieved, to my knowledge. I’m wondering how many years we will be over our debt limit. I know that what was indicated in those frameworks is clearly not reality.

It speaks to the fundamental aspect that we need to know. I think we’re boxed in. We need to do this. But the most important thing to me is that we do it with a full appreciation of what the implications are so that we can best manage those implications. If we don’t do that, we’ll be again seeing things happen and reacting to specific events sort of randomly as opposed to in a planned way. Rose-tinted projections, we know that’s not the case. They look great, but the world just doesn’t work that way. If things went according to Hoyle it would be that way, but generally it’s Murphy that’s in control.

One of the aspects is this will be limiting our services and infrastructure in real terms. That’s why I think we need to get real projections to work with realistic projections and do what we can to minimize those impacts.

Finally, and I’ve mentioned this before in statements, how can we limit such irresponsible actions as those that have taken place and saddled this government with this situation in the future? To me that’s a question that is a serious question. We don’t want to repeat this in the future. So let’s put some thinking into that along with this.

I guess I’ll just finish by saying, along with everybody else, that this isn’t a great feeling, but we’re stuck with it. Constituents are contacting me, as well, saying don’t approve this. Unfortunately, that could be more costly than approving it.

Again, I hope the Minister heard my remarks about ensuring that what we have on the ground is totally sound and reliable and that will be confirmed and reported back to us before we go forward. I’ll leave it at that.
