Thank you, Madam Chair. Any year when there's an election is an exceptional year. In this case, some of the workload was as a result of the fact that there was -- sorry, Madam Chair. I just want to make sure that I'm referencing the right explanation.

Madam Chair, in an election year, some assumptions are being made and budget estimates are based on the number of days that the House will sit, given that it is an election year. In this case, there were much heavier expenditures as a result of there being more sitting days, more sitting hours, and overtimes resulting. As a result of that, there certainly were some increased expenditures as a result of those increased hours towards the end in the last sitting days of the 18^th Assembly. There was also some need, in terms of the staffing within the Legislative Assembly, leading up to the territorial election that had to be increased to support committees to complete their work prior to the election. There were other expenditures related to the operation of Legislative Assembly, Madam Chair, not specifically with respect to the election.
