Thank you, Madam Speaker. When we first amended the Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act as it is now, today, we are looking at the amendment today to adjust it in accordance with changes to the consumer price index. I supported that particular bill when we first debated it. The changes that are incorporated in the existing Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act was done for a specific purpose, so that Members would get adjustments according to the consumer price index. Everyone in this House, including the government, it was a government sponsored bill at that particular time when the government supported it. Now, they are reneging or going back and saying that they don't support what is in the current bill now. That is why they are making amendments pertaining to that. It was a government sponsored bill at that time. I was totally convinced and I still believe in the current Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act. I am totally against what the government is doing pertaining to the amendment that is being proposed. Thank you.
