Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The question I wanted to ask was with regard to the salaries for constituency assistants. The salary of the MLA assistant is only $20,000 per year. When it comes to living in an isolated, high cost of living community, this is not very much. Sometimes when you hire a good assistant, and if the salary is not very attractive, this good person may not stay very long and then you have to end up hiring someone else. Would the Speaker consider increasing the salary to a more attractive amount?
