Wendy Bisaro Frame Lake

I’m trying to do some quick math in my head and I’m struggling again, I guess. So, if we are…and my quick math tells me that we’re losing about $20 million in personal income tax that we expect to get for ’13-14. If that’s the case, I don’t understand why Finance is estimating $104 million or $105 million for ’14-15. If we are so far down in ’13-14 and we’ve got these numbers from the federal government on, basically, kind of actuals,

why are we not estimating revenues that are closer to this year’s actuals? Why are we going up some $15 million? Thank you.
