Mr. Speaker, taking the questions in the reverse order, we will proceed as we have stated to operate on the basis of rolling two year targets so that in the course of the next budget we will obviously be setting a target for the year after 1996-97.
It will be a pleasure at that time to be establishing that target since it will be the fourth year in a row the government will have hit its deficit target.
We intend to proceed in terms of the fall update exactly as we did last year. At a certain point following the beginning of the consultation process when it is important to make that appearance after there has been enough consultation so that the government reacts I would be delighted to appear.
There is one major distinction between this year and last. It was very important last year to very clearly establish the direction the government was taking. That direction has now turned out to be very successful. What I will be doing this year is confirming that direction.
