Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Premier. Before I ask my questions, I would like to commend the Premier for his Minister's statement today on ministerial compensation and benefits. This is another indication of the forthright and responsive way that this Premier responds to concerns from this side of the House, so I want to thank you for that statement.

--Applause

I would like to ask a couple of questions with regard to that statement. Mr. Speaker, is it only Cabinet Ministers who decide on ministerial benefits? Thank you.
