Just before we go to questions and comments, I want to put on the record that the use of the term “steal” is not something that we like to hear. I want everyone to know that I am paying particular attention to how it is used. If anyone uses the term “steal” in a general way, not referring to a specific individual, a specific ministry or a specific political party but to government as a whole, I will consider it to be broad enough to be acceptable. If it is used in any other context I will not, just so everybody understands what the ground rules are.
