Thank you. That's something that was recommended, and I believe MACA is working on that at the moment. Maybe we'll get a briefing note on that. Thank you.

I'll take it as a comment. As I mentioned, it's fully consistent with what the Chief Electoral Officer has requested. As I mentioned in my opening statement, we're always trying to work closely with the independent commissioners and continue that. Thank you.

Yes, because this was leading up to the previous election, there was a lot of training, as well, that the Chief Electoral Officer put forward, especially in the communities, with the returning officers. That had a lot to do with it, plus bringing on staff, as I mentioned. That took a lot of it. The changes that were being proposed, the Chief Electoral Officer, are consistent with what she requested. Thank you.

Thank you. No, there will be no further funding requested. The Chief Electoral Officer position will still be staffed. It's just the extra staff that was needed during the election period, so we'll have the Electoral Officer, the Deputy Chief Electoral Officer position, and a part-time position, as well. Thank you.

Thank you, great question. Actually, we will still have on staff our Chief Electoral Officer, the Deputy Chief Electoral Officer, and also a part-time position. Leading up to the next election, we'll see all these positions put out again and fully staffed. With the positions that we will have on staff, that will conclude the post-election work that is required, so we'll have, actually, three staff on, well, two and a half, actually.

Thank you. As most of the contracts expire at the end of March, due to our post-election year, a lot of the contracts are until a few months after the election or the following year, but we will have one staff, a returning deputy officer on staff, and a part-time position, as well. Thank you.

Yes, thank you. That falls under Members' operating expenses. The total amount is actually $67,000 for CA benefits, and that's through NEBS, which comes out of the budget, your constituency budget. Thank you.

Yes, every year, it goes up by 2 percent, roughly.

Thank you. I will hand it over to Mr. Mercer.
