Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thanks for the opportunity to offer some general comments here. Going through the Minister’s remarks, it’s quite an unusual budget with the changes that are taking place this year.

There’s no reason these should be occurring together in the same fiscal year. They should have been spread over. These are really predictable sorts of costs.

I hope the Minister could consider that or perhaps that’s next on down the road as the next after we do our internal one.

Right now we have a Film Commission as we hear from the Minister often and yet there is really nothing there. It’s a paper exercise. I...
