Thanks, Mr. Chair. I look forward to having that discussion, as it is not so much raising the revenues. I think we want to look at trying to promote a healthier lifestyle and providing some incentives for folks to do that. I look forward to that discussion the next business plans. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the responses, and that’s all I’ve got on this, thanks.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. It appears in the public accounts, but is it possible that in the future mains, that there could be a section in here on this Environmental Liabilities Fund, just as there is for the Liquor Revolving Fund? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. It’s interesting. I just don’t understand why all the same assets are there, some of them may not be used, why they’re not valued at the same rate. But I’ll accept the information as presented. It just seems rather strange to me. The other question I have is about corporate income tax. We have wildly fluctuating amounts here. Last year the predicted revenue was $40 million, but only $25 million came in. This year the projection is for $60 million. Can the department tell me why these numbers keep going up and down and what we’re doing to try to stabilize revenues from...

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I’m sure the Minister can probably guess my next questions, but so what are the ways that we actually support communities in protecting drinking water, if we’re not allocating $50,000 for it anymore? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. That is helpful in explaining why there is this large amount in 2014-15. Then for 2015-16, 2016-17, Finance is contributing $2 million towards this Environmental Liability Fund. Is that what is happening, Mr. Chair? Thank you.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. There’s also a decrease, a substantive one, here, $5 million in property taxes and school levies that’s projected. Can the department explain that decrease in revenues? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I was a bit worried about that. I will just consider what I am going to do about that. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Just so I understand, is that going to happen in 2016-17, this year, or can the Minister give us a date when we might get that paper? Thanks.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I think we should be increasing our revenues, period. But I’m trying to understand why in the personal income tax there’s a projection for an increase, but at payroll tax we’re actually projecting a decrease. I’m just trying to understand why there’s those two different trends happening in the projections? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
