I do not have general comments, but to continue with the issue raised by the Member for Thebacha, Mr. Chairman, when you discuss the issue of severance, does this refer to being severed from a position which you hold in a particular Assembly or does it refer to a severance from a position which you may have had for perhaps five, six or seven years? In other words, does this severance apply only to the Assembly in which the person became elected to the Cabinet or does it go beyond the Assembly in question?

I do not know if I understand the question. I know individuals, at an end of a term, such as if you were in for four years, your term is up, there is no severance after that term, that I am aware of, because you have completed your term. The understanding is that it would be there at that period of time, so there is no severance at that time, to my knowledge.

In the case of a Member, who has been in the Cabinet for one term, and then goes another two years in the following term as a Cabinet Minister, that person will have been a Cabinet Minister for six years. However, in the term in which he or she loses his or her position, does that person get severance on the basis of being severed during that two years or does the person get severed from doing six years? Each Assembly is distinct. I am wondering if the policy takes into consideration that the person is being severed and you consider those six years to be continuous service in the Cabinet, even though you are elected on two different occasions.

Mr. Chairman, I must apologize, because I do not know whether we put a maximum on it. I do not recall. Once the guidelines are presented to you, it would state there what we have done. I am sorry. I do not remember exactly what we had done. It seems to me we might have stretched it out to four years. I do not know. I will bring that back to you.

Thank you. This severance only applies to Ministers. Am I correct?

Mr. Chairman, the transfer has not happened yet, so it is still here, but it will happen.
