Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In a related matter to the report of the independent commission is an item that the commission looked at but declined to make recommendations on. This is in the area of pensions and specifically, a supplementary pension plan.

The commission declared that while it was originally requested to consider this, the report states that it is not in the mandate of this committee to overturn decisions of past Legislative Assemblies. That responsibility lies clearly with the Assembly itself.

Taking the finding of the independent commission into account, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Assembly wanted to make some action on this. As a follow-through to that, I am prepared to put forward a motion which will direct some action through the course of the Assembly. Mr. Chairman, I would like to make the following motion.
