Thank you, Madam Chairperson. I didn’t mean you any disrespect in any way shape or form with my comments. Madam Chairperson, there is a part of me that wants to keep digging here, but I think I won’t do that. I will stop my questioning there because as I sit here I am getting angry. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chairperson. As a new Member, I will start to understand some of the shortcomings I think that our process has, Madam Chairperson, and the fact that information can be supplied at a meeting, and I can come into a public setting and want to discuss that information that was provided to us and I can’t do that. I think that there certainly is a shortcoming in that, Madam Chairperson, that I take a great exception to.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I will start out my general comments and I might have a question or two in here. I'm going to start off with stating the obvious, and that is I'm a new Member, as everybody knows, and I almost feel like I've inherited something that really I haven't had my fingertips on. I haven't had the benefit of going through a full budget cycle, I haven't had the opportunity to go through a business planning cycle, and I must say that I do not agree with the increase to 14 percent on the corporate income tax. I agree with the three of the four presenters at the committee...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The next question I would have is if a couple of these positions, and they're senior positions, Mr. Speaker, have been vacant -- one for over three years, the other coming up on two years -- will the Minister consider rolling these positions up? If the Audit Bureau has gotten by without these positions for this amount of time, does that cause the Minister some concern? I know he spoke of the last government, but this is this government. Today is today. Will the Minister undertake to have a review of this division and see if we can roll up some of these positions...
