Thank you. I will ask the officials a question here about the revenues and expenses associated with the department going forward.
With regard to revenues, of course, we're looking at the natural resource industry, and primarily the main economic driver in the natural resource industry is the oil and gas industry. In round numbers over the last 20 years we've had about $25 billion to $30 billion per year go as economic rent from the oil and gas sector to governments. That amount, $25 billion, is a net number, and it doesn't include linear rents to municipalities or excise taxes paid on the consumption of the resources.
If you look at increasing your budget the way you have—and it's almost double over the last two years—at what point in time do you take a look at the actual revenue? I assume that is going down, because of the pricing of the resource and our constraints on the resource, and your expenses continue to go up. Can you square that for me, please?
