And thirdly, the auditor recommended that we improve our plan by assigning responsibility to staff to implement planned strategies to meet our hr needs. and while i'd say that that's not typically included in a human resource strategy, we have included that in our human resource branch work plans for '07-08. so we continue to monitor and measure our progress on our human resource plan, and we think we've made good progress so far, and we think that we have responded to the helpful recommendations that came to us from the provincial auditor. thanks. the chair: -- thank you, mr. veikle. before i open the floor for questions from the members, i have a couple of questions on revenues, which is at the beginning of the auditor's report on page 414 -- quite an underestimation of revenues from natural gas and oil, which left you an embarrassment of riches of over a half a billion dollars more than you had estimated. have you changed your estimating processes to try to come closer given some of the, you know, the new price structure that natural resources seems to be in, in the last little while? or are we going to see this kind of variance in the future as well, to the best of your knowledge? mr. veikle: -- i'd say that we haven't changed the framework within which we operate. we still look to outside observers and take into account their forecast on price. and the big miss in '05-06 was largely attributable to the change in price. we're pretty accurate with respect to volume of production and the number of wells drilled for example, but it's with respect to price where the big change occurred in '05-06. and as is always the case, we look to the outside observers or the outside experts and take into account what they're, what they're saying. when we can, we try to look to alberta and british columbia and make sure that we're going to be in alignment with their forecasts. but you're quite right in indicating that we missed in '05-06. and you know, i think it's fair to say that everybody missed in '05-06. it was a very volatile year in terms of the price of natural resources. the chair: -- apparently alberta just missed again with their projected surplus. would you say that, you know, in using all of those sources to set price or to set projections that you would then scale it back and try to be a bit on the conservative side? is that the nature of the department? or do you try to hit the nail right on the head? what's your objective in putting this forecast in place? mr. veikle: -- our objective is to hit the nail on the head. we try not to be conservative, but as everybody knows there is a natural tendency to be a bit conservative. in the '06-07 budget i don't recall exactly what the price forecast is that we published in the budget, but we felt as though we were going a way out on a limb with the price forecast that we had included in that budget. and i think, if memory serves me, that it was somewhere in the a barrel range, and we thought we were being . the chair: -- ungovernmental.
