Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Premier, welcome to Ottawa.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your presentations here today.
One of the statements you made at the opening, Mr. Premier, was that this is a commitment to the people of Saskatchewan, and I couldn't agree with you more. Certainly budgets at the federal and provincial levels serve the people of your electoral districts and your province or country.
You've also been advising my caucus colleagues to vote against the budget, simply because of some changes you say need to be made. I'm here to tell you I would never do that, sir. The people of Saskatchewan, from my understanding and the letters I've received and the meetings I've attended, are very happy with this budget. On top of the $878 million we're talking about, which is new money for the province of Saskatchewan, there's $756 million in health care funding. There's $342 million of secondary education, the social transfers. We haven't seen that level of money flowing to the province of Saskatchewan for years. There's also a 6% annual increase built into those.
The member for Wascana talked about the $100 billion booked to flow. Did you ever see any of that money, sir?
