Thank you, Madam Speaker. I’d just like to commend Cabinet, through this budget for 2013-2014, for taking the recommendations that came from committees. Whether it was Social Programs or EDI, Cabinet has taken a lot of advice from the committees during their business planning process. Also, Cabinet has taken recommendations from committees like the rural and remote communities. I’m hopeful we can implement more in our next budget and create more opportunities for communities.

In the communities, especially the smaller communities, there are a lot of challenges in services. I think that, working together, we can overcome those challenges and I look forward to this year coming.
