Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Friday, June 15th, 2001, I will move the following motion:
Now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Nahendeh, that the Legislative Assembly hereby appoints Mr. Fred Carmichael and Mr. Robert Clark as the Commission on Members' Compensation;
And further that the commission shall:
- assess and review the indemnities, additional indemnities, allowances, expenses and benefits provided to Members to determine the appropriateness of the amounts provided;
- assess and review the reporting requirements and procedures for Members expenditures to determine the level of accountability acceptable to the public;
- review any other matter that the commission considers relevant respecting the compensation scheme provided to Members.
And furthermore, that the commission shall report with its observations and recommendations to the Speaker by October 1, 2001, and the Speaker shall cause the report to be tabled in the Legislative Assembly without delay if the Assembly is in session, and if the Assembly is not in session, as soon as reasonably practicable.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
