Look, I am not trying to prolong this.

I see the top that says there is an authorized fund limit of $6.5 million, yet how does that figure into all these numbers here because most of them seem to be over that amount. Can someone help me understand this? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. The $2.2 million that is referenced in the Minister’s opening remarks… I am still trying to figure out how there is an actual increase.

But I’ll accept the information as presented. It just seems rather strange to me. The other question I have is about corporate income tax. We have wildly fluctuating amounts here.
