Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, under this procedure, when Ministers resign or are taken out of office, they are eligible to receive severance pay up to a maximum of two months as a Minister. There are also things like vacation leave credits that are there that have to be taken into consideration. There is a matter of accommodation expenses and so forth that has to be worked out from the resignation date so there is a period, I believe, of about 90 days to try to take care of that. Also there is a whole thing about leasing furniture and so forth that is also 90 days. There is the matter of removal type of assistance if their residence is outside of Yellowknife. These are all kind of calculated into and taken into consideration in the ministerial clearance procedure. Thank you.
