Mr. Chairman,
I MOVE that clause 33 of Bill 7 be amended by adding the following after proposed subsection 5.3:
5.3.1. The Speaker shall, as soon as possible after the end of each fiscal year, lay before the Legislative Assembly copies of the elections filed by Members under subsections 5.2(2) and 5.3(2).
The purpose of this amendment, Mr. Chairman, is keeping with our belief in an open and transparent government. I think the public have a right to know who is taking part in this supplementary plan. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think that those Members, the public out there know that this has been discussed without the public knowing, without the question or the notion of transparency and accountability. I am going to vote against this motion in keeping with my stance on this bill on principle.
I agree. I feel the same, and I have said so publicly, that the purpose of this is...I am not imputing any motives here, but I feel that given the consideration and the debate surrounding this, that this is really a way of making...I do not know. I am not going to say threat. I think another Member used that, but it is really...I do not even know how to explain it. I think this is a distraction. I think it is a side issue. I think the decision and the position to take is whether you support this motion to create a new pension or not. What happens afterwards is really a private matter.
I do appreciate that Members' salaries and benefits, for the most part, is public information and I respect that. I think there is more to this. I do not condone that in any way. My vote will be no on the basis of my general position about this supplementary pension. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I take a contrary point of view. I have no doubt that...I should not say that I have no doubt. If Ms. Lee is right, that this was a pressure tactic, I have no doubt that I am one of the people it is aimed at. However, I also agree that everything this government does, as far as possible, should be open to the public. I think that our compensation package should be entirely open to the public.

Therefore, I will support this motion. If the bill is going to pass, then the public has the right to know who has bought into the pension plan. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
