Mr. Chair, I want to give MLA Green a lot of credit. She chaired in, at the last Assembly, a special committee on increasing the representation in women. One of the recommendations that they brought forward was that some consideration be given to a rebate program to sort of lower the barriers for women in particular getting into politics. Committee accepted a further presentation from Ms. Green on this topic, and we were happy to put forward the rebate program that she has recommended. I'll just list the criteria for that very quickly for members of the public and to refresh Members' memories about this.

• Fifty percent of eligible expenses to a maximum rebate of $3,000 per candidate;
• Candidate must receive a minimum of 5 percent of votes cast in that electoral district;
• Candidate's official agent must file their complete financial paperwork by the deadline;
• Acclaimed candidates would also be eligible for a rebate;
• Only cash expenses incurred by the candidate that are not offset by fundraising would be eligible;
• Committee recommends that alcohol and cannabis be excluded as eligible expenses; and
• The Chief Electoral Officer would also report on any rebate costs as part of the report on the conduct of the election.

That is what this is all about. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
