Madam Speaker, I am not sure I am qualified to answer this question. I have been somewhat preoccupied with a department that is looking at a dearth of revenues. The Minister of Finance should really deal with it.
He is pretty confident that the projections he has given will be realistic and will be met and that the doomsday scenario that is implied in the question of my hon. friend will not materialize.
I would also like to say that his comments were most appreciated and in the best tradition of parliamentary debate in understanding the difficulties that we have had with the defence cuts.
