Thank you, Madam Speaker. The Minister of Finance has indicated all these issues and all these projects that we have on the go and, granted, we are doing great things with a lot of them, but I think the essence comes down to the $30 million loss of revenue that we’re seeing in corporate income tax. He’s indicated that the department didn’t anticipate this. So why is it that we do not know what we’re receiving in income tax from one year to the next where we have to receive that last minute and make us on this side of the House look like the bad guys for wanting to put money away for the future generations? Why can’t we see the revenue projections farther ahead?
