I’m afraid I swallowed that reassurance line for a couple of years on this and I wish I could be with the Minister on this, but it ain’t happening out there. I’m not saying that there aren’t some improvements in some areas, and perhaps in some communities there have been vast improvements. The situation is not like that with the communities that I work with and others that I know about. We’re not just talking a minor adjustment or a little adjustment here. I’m not sure what stabilization funds. I’d like to know how much we’re talking about in stabilization funds. We’re talking about 100 percent difference between what is being collected and what the Minister is asking to be collected. Like they say, you can’t get blood from a stone. I’m looking for some real action here, a reality check of the department, because the march continues very much towards bankruptcy here. That’s just the plain facts. The rates are an escalating thing, an exponential thing. It starts low and doubles each year. It doesn’t take many doublings before we’re at 100 percent in the hole here. I’d like to be reassured. The Minister speaks
in a very reassuring way. Again, I haven’t seen any mechanism here that is actually going to deal with this.
