That needs to be done. People need to be reminded that the line being promulgated here is one of irresponsible fiscal management with a total disregard for budgets, public spending and taxpayers. Ultimately, as I keep reminding Opposition colleagues on some of the councils on which I serve, the Government does not generate any money. All it has to disperse is what it takes from the taxpayer. It has an obligation to be prudent and to manage that money to the best of its ability. We have seen fine examples of that over the past 14 or 15 years.
