Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will be supporting this motion. It's a good motion. It says that we will not be adding another Member to the Cabinet; however, we will be reviewing the possibility of a ninth Member to the Cabinet after six months. In my comments to the discussion earlier I indicated that I would like to see the numbers, and we've received some preliminary numbers that state that the total estimated cost per Minister is $539,000 and the estimated incremental costs of an additional Minister is $284,000, so this figure is quite substantial. Based on that, this motion is saying we will not be adding another Member to the Cabinet but we will be looking at it after six months, therefore I will be supporting this motion. Mahsi.
