I’d just like to comment on Mr. Dolynny’s final comments about vacancies. I want to acknowledge that it is an area, as we move forward and as we hew to that very tough line of not having our expenditures exceed our revenues, that there is going to be, I would suggest, ongoing scrutiny of the whole area of staffing vacancies. We have over 5,000 employees. We fund a veritable army of casuals and relief workers and it’s roughly an $800 million part of our budget, which is a very, very significant amount of money.
Clearly, as we move forward and look at how we’re doing things and how we account for things, that is an area, as the Member pointed out, that’s going to require continued scrutiny. I just wanted to acknowledge that to the Member.
In regards to our estimates on income tax, we’ve been relying on federal projections. We’ve indicated that we’re going to move to our own five-year rolling average. The federal projections are based on a snapshot in time and they look forward through that lens of that snapshot and they give us numbers. It also points to the vagaries and the fluidness of how you file corporate income tax, the latitude that corporations have. When they file, how they file, how much they file, where they file are some of the things that we have to stand and wait to see what’s going to happen. In the case of this particular circumstance where we have to repay a payment because we were overpaid because of the calculations and projections that were off, we have to manage all of those things and it’s not, clearly, an exact science.
I’ll ask the deputy to provide some more detail in regards to that particular issue for Mr. Dolynny.
