The Speaker David Krutko
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the expenses that I did read out are on behalf of Members. As we all know, there is an annual reporting mechanism in the Legislative Assembly where we have to report all expenses incurred by a Member by way of consecutive expenses and also the expenses of the Member. So it will be reported annually in this House. Thank you.
