4.63 The entire package of offsets, rebates and
ERS will cost the Government $1,226 million in
FY 2002. Taken together with the other tax changes,
we expect the FY 2002 fiscal position to turn
from a modest budget surplus of $900 million to
a small deficit of $190 million. The Government
is able to finance this deficit from FY 2001 funds
and therefore does not need to draw on past reserves.
