Thank you, Madam Chair. Obviously, the priorities of the Assembly are the priorities of the Assembly and not only those of Cabinet. This is not the first time that I've had the chance to hear what previous Finance Ministers may or may not have done. I have no difficulty in saying that I am who I am, and I intend to follow through on promises that I make. Madam Chair, I have already gone through the process of asking the department why I see certain words over and over again, giving me general explanations. If there is an explanation, then we should be following through on it and fixing the problem. In some cases, there will not be an explanation other than we had an opportunity to take a lot of money from the federal government and we did take that opportunity. I think we'll be able to do a better analysis. Can I promise that we will solve every one of the bottlenecks in the next 12 months, given that we're going to be operating under a COVID challenge this summer in some capacity or another? Certainly not. I can certainly come back here in the future, when there are further carry-overs, because there will be further carry-overs, and be able to give a better analysis, project-by-project, as to why that is and where the bottlenecks are. Thank you, Madam Chair.
