Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we're always a little hesitant to speak not only on behalf of other departments but on behalf of prior Assembly's so it's going to be difficult for me to say what did or did not happen over the last 20 some years of a government.
Mr. Speaker, I can say that at this point, one of the reasons that we are so focused on -- as some have said, you know, the concerns around they're not being more cuts despite the fiscal situation is because this Assembly has prioritized social wellness; it has prioritized health indicators; it has prioritized education outcomes, and all of our departments need all of their resources to be able to achieve the goals that we've set for ourselves in all of those areas. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
