I appreciate the Member’s comments. There is constant pressure on government to do more and constant pressure in this Assembly, constant pressure from our constituents. I mean, I’ve heard it around the table: let’s add money to pave roads, let’s add money for compassionate travel, let’s add money, let’s build more, let’s do things. We have to make choices and this Legislature has the authority. If they say that we’re not going to spend this money and we’re not going to pay for it, I mean, that’s our choice. We’re saying and we’re making the case here that these are very critical programs and I don’t think it’s bad management. I think there are cost pressures in our system that have to be met. We are attempting to do that. I appreciate the Member’s comments and look forward to the detail. Thank you.
