Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a concern that although there are other motherhood statements assuring that Legislative Assembly Members may be exempt from the definition of public body, in the first paragraph it reads, "Presenters felt the office of the Legislative Assembly is an institution different from the Members of the Assembly and the background papers and research information should be accessible by the public."

A lot of research needs to be done some time with our researcher. There has to be some legal advice acquired before that can be tabled in the House or we can make a Member's statement or even ask questions to some Ministers. However, with the request to have the research material available to the public, I feel very uncomfortable with it because sometimes initial research findings require further study, whether there is a liability involved from our own constituency office, not us necessarily.

The second point is on the second paragraph, Mr. Chairman. I would like to get an explanation as to exactly what the comments the Standing Committee on Legislation had when they stated that because the authority of the Speaker and the Management Services Board has a stature of being the executive arm of the rest of the Assembly and therefore should remain exempt from the definition of public body. Is the committee stating that we should be exempt? Is that what the recommendation is, to have that exemption in the legislation or Bill 6?
