Thank you, Mr. Speaker. ...by seven per cent, to reduce the pension plan for new MLAs by a large amount, and to cut back our vacation travel benefit, has meant a lot less income for me personally. I appreciate the opportunity, while I am on the subject of our budget for 1996-97, to explain a little bit about how this issue affects me and my family. I thank you, Mr. Speaker and colleagues, for allowing me to do that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
