We, as the government, are looking at how we make sure that our revenues and expenditures, on a going forward
basis, stay the same, that our expenditures do not exceed our revenues and that we don’t start borrowing money for programs that we anticipate and plan for what has been determined and demonstrated to be a flat economy with revenues going down. So, we have an obligation as we look to making sure that the 18th Assembly is provided with
the best information possible, to pull together all that information for the consideration of the 18th Assembly.
I want to point o
ut that it’s anticipated at this juncture,
given the lateness of this election, that we would be looking at an interim appropriation to allow the incoming Legislative Assembly the full time it needs to decide the path forward. Thank you.
