The budget is not being cut at all. We're stopping the overspending that has been taking place in the department.

I'm sure we'll put some safeguards in place to make sure we're not overspending.

That's the only way I see it passing. Because of budget restraints and programs being cut, I do not see it gaining momentum as a national playing rule and a required rule.

It is a belt-tightening budget. We cut where we could cut.

We're not stopping people from taking part - we'll work around that as best we can. We respect the rights of our people. We're trying to balance them against an obligation to customers and shareholders.

We are taking very active measures to ensure that we do not have any more bad apples in that department, ... We are going to act very energetically to take measures to ensure that what happened does not happen again.
