That the following words be added:

And further;

That the Assembly recognises that the policy decision by the Government of Saskatchewan to remove the output-based performance standard will result in $432 million less in revenue than the budget presented by the Finance minister, and the Assembly calls on the Finance minister to present a revised fiscal forecast that reflects this reality.
