With that we would agree. What you've just expressed is what you would hope to achieve with the way you've written amendment NDP-3.
The view is that it's not sufficient. Given the structure of the Salaries Act, the particular wording of the amendment is not sufficient to authorize the payment of a salary of a minister of state out of the consolidated revenue fund. Something more specific, such as establishing the salary in the Salaries Act or establishing the way the salary is to be determined—who will approve the salary—would do it. You will find that in all the positions for which a salary can be paid under the Salaries Act, there is first a salary established, and that's not done with the wording of your amendment.
