Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The question is, I think these figures were done on the assumption we only had one year of breathing space. The Minister responsible for the Department of Finance indicated in the House that we had three.
I was wondering if those financial projections are going to change because of that extra three years the federal government has given us to get our pension house in order. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The final question for me is in regard to the sunset clause in our legislation and the possible special committee that may be struck. Could the Speaker indicate whether that money is in the interim appropriation or will that be dealt with when we deal with the business plans in May? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. No, there are no special provisions for that as of yet. We have to do that upon request, if it is not in our budget.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Speaker's opening remarks referred to the main estimates being based on a funded 14-Member Legislative Assembly. Are there any ideas as to what the potential impact is with 19 Members now? In fact, we are operating now with 19. Are you able to carry the gross from 14 Members to 19 Members within the interim?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will defer the question to Mr. Moreside, who has this information.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The additional funding for Members for 2000-2001, after reallocation from moving money within activities, there is still an additional $77,446 required to fund a 19-Member Assembly under the new legislation.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. All we will require is $77,000 more as a yearly basis for 19 Members? I know there have been many changes from the previous Assembly, with the way Members are paid, living allowances and so on. Now it has been consolidated. So with all of the changes, we can operate with 19 Members on an additional $77,000 per year? Is that the understanding? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The $77,000 is over and above, after we reallocate money from other activities. The additional funding from 14 to 19 Members is $591,466.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So that is not accounted for in here, at least in the first quarter or first third of the budget? In fact, we are going to live within our means in a sense for the interim, and then as the main business plans come through, we will see the requests and the growth from 14 to 19?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the comments the Member has made, because that accurately reflects the intentions of the interim.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just for further clarification, that includes a Member, constituency assistant, constituency assistant office, those issues in the Legislative Assembly budget within that $500,00 for the year? I am thinking we have five new Members, and it is from top to bottom, in a sense. Could I have some clarification? Thank you.
Please only include contact information if you would like to hear back.
