Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as we all know, we are going into an election year and there is going to be a transition between this Assembly and the 15th Assembly. In most cases, coming from the 13th Assembly and then going into the 14th, I really notice a difference with regard to accountability, protocol and what you are accountable for and what you are not accountable for.
One thing I see is there is more paperwork than ever before. I think that there is a point of accountability, but there is also a point of overkill. I would like to ask the Board of Management have they considered, knowing there is going to be a transitional document of some sort for the new government, have they looked at the Members' Handbook or our rules and procedures that we have to operate under with regard to the problems we have run into with accountability or expenses, for travel, for the problems we run into in trying to do our job as a Member, what you can do and what you can't do?
I feel that this 14th Assembly is more restricted than we were in the 13th Assembly. To do your job, you have to keep looking through a microscope to see if it's okay to do it or it's not okay. You have to get permission to do this and you have to pack the handbook around with you. Are there any efforts going to be made to have a review of existing policies and guidelines that we have in place for Members to carry out their responsibilities as elected Members to this Legislature? And is there going to be input from Members of this Assembly to have a say on areas that are controversial and the possibility of looking at recommendations to the 15th Assembly, so they can have a chance to rework some of these rules to make them more workable?
