Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Some of the Members had spoken of the commission's recommendations with respect to constituency work expenses and they felt that the recommendations on that were outside of the mandate of commission. In fairness to the commission, I just wanted to read item six, that was in the terms of reference that were given to the commission. It is: "Develop a statement of purpose for the constituency work expense allowances, including recommending permissible spending criteria and to express an opinion on the adequacy of the current levels of these allowances." I understand the concern of the Members who don't agree with the recommendations, but I think it would be incorrect to say that that was outside of their mandate to make those recommendations. Thank you.
