Thanks to the Minister, but I guess I’m getting a little frustrated with the fact that our authorities are, in most cases, consistently underfunded. So when is the Minister and the department going to be able to adequately fund these authorities so they will not be in deficit? I realize it may be an increase to our budget, but we as Members should be hearing from the Minister that you need X number of millions of dollars in order for our authorities to operate on a breakeven situation and we’re not. So when is it that we’re going to get our authorities adequately funded? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Guy. Mr. Moses.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. To the motion. Mr. Dolynny.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Minister Abernethy.
