If there are improvements in the process that are needed, then we would, of course, look for those. But standard practice is the Department of Finance brings forward the request and it’s the Legislature that disposes and it’s the Speaker that requests, all we do is incorporate it into the budget. We don’t question it, we don’t defend it, we just process and bring the request to this House. So, we will get the information that was requested. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There was a scholarship set up, but when the Building Society concluded its work and wrapped up, they turned over I think it was $400,000 to the Legislature and part of it was to go to a scholarship, which is why the net effect is nil. Thank you.
