Before you answer that, Mr. Abernethy, when I say short supplementary, it’s a short supplementary. Mr. Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I indicated, we will look at it and I’m fond of looking outside of the box and trying to find solutions where possible, but we have to be realistic about some of the challenges that we’re facing, so absolutely, we’ll look at this. I’ll talk with my colleague and we’ll think outside the box to see if there are any possibilities, but I won’t guarantee any at this point in time.

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Item 8, written questions. The honourable Member for Frame Lake, Ms. Bisaro.
