Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to make short mention of the motion. According to the Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act, constituency expenses were tied to the consumer price index. Thus, on April 1 st of this year, it was an automatic increase of allowances and expenses of 2.1 per cent. Considering our effort to tackle the budget in all ways and means, I felt that it's in order for us to set an example and support this motion and eliminate the 2.1 per cent. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
